THE NANTICOKE DISASTER.

1t will be very sad Christmas at Nanticoke.
The disaster by which so many miners were cut
oil from their friends and left perfOrce to
perish has been of nature to produce the
utmost excitement and misery conceivable.
Had the men and boys been killed at once the
effect upon their friends and families would
not have been so narrowing But the suspense,
the alterations of hope and despair, and the
final abandonment Of the rescue operations,
were fearfully trying. While the rescuing
parties were hard at work and making rapid
progress, it was hoped and believed that they
would reach the imprisoned miners in time to
save them. Then the arrival of the working
party at one of the places where it was thought
the victims were, and the discovery that they
had taken refuge further away, produced fresh
doubts mingled with fresh hopes. When, how
ever, .hc new fails of culm and earth put an end
20 the digging and drove the rescuers out Of
the workings, despair took possession of the
waiting people and the most pathetic scenes
occurred among the women.
Even then there was talk of final desperate
attempt to reach the buried men. A shaft was
to be sunk straight down upon their supposed
position. As their exact situation was really
not known to any one, and as the sinking Of a
shaft $50 feet deep is a work OF several weeks
it is evident thai there was notliing practical

MR. GLfDSTONEiE ART

Mr. Gladstone has never been esteemed a
very goDd politician, but he is not inexperienced
in party management. IJ Is possible that he
has not intended to embarrass the Tory Gov
eminent and to break up its coalition with Mr..
Parncll but this is the precise effect the dia-
closures of his hali-matured and vaguey-statcd
plans respecting home rule will have. Mr..
Parnell and his followers, having aided the
Ministry of the day in the elections, would
naturally have supported its English measures
in Parliament and exactcd in return sub
stantial favors for Ireland. They have now
been encouraged to hope for legislative indie
pendence as soon as Mr.. Gladstone returns to
power. Why, then, should they waste their
time in keeping Lord Salsbury's Cabinet in
Oflice3 Their chances of ultimate success will
be promoted by a speedy dissolution of the
present coalition. Mr.. Gladstone has said that
Goblin is the friend, not Short" and they
believe it, BY breaking with Lord Salisbury
and turning him out of Office, they will
strengthen their own cause and gain the
strongest ally they can find in England.
Mr.. Gladstone has efiectually deprived the
Government of every chance of receiving Irish
support in the new Parliament, and without
Mr. Parnell's aid it cannot stand against the
superior numbers of the Liberals. At the same
time, he has not defined his programme with
clearness and precision, and has repudiated all
statements of his views thus far published.
The limitations which he insists upon have not
been explained, and, master of argumeDtative
subtleties as he is, he may cast an entirely new
light upon his conversion to home rule without
being convicted of inconsistency. 1t is barely
possible that the Pari'ellites, after turning out
Lord Salisbury, may repent at their leisure and
accuse Mr. Gladstone of bad faith. Then, to be
sure, they can form new combination with
the Conservatives but they may not be able to
prevent an appeal to the country Oh Mr.. Glad
stones Irish policy All forecasts of this nature
are, of course. premature; but it is worthy Of
remark that the Liberal leader, without un>
equivocally committing himself to any policy
and without making himself responsible for
any statements of his views on home rule, has
rendered the Conservative position wholly
untenabe.

in the proposition, and though the mine-owners
were accused of heartlessness because they
rejected it, there does not appear to have Dech

THE INCREASE ~ THE STATE EXPENSES.
The letter from our Albany correspondent
which is printed to-day cannot fail to interest
taxraycrs. II treats Of the always vital topic
of the States expenses. Such expenses have
grown 80 steadily and at such rate during the
last five years that It now costs above Il mliiioh
and Il half of dollars more to pay the annual
bills that are charge upon the puDlc thah II
did in 1880. the letter presents I'm tented
statement of this increase. Some OF the great
depaltmcntS Of government are RIM at higher
figure than they were in 1880 bat by FAR the
largest proportion OF the Increase represents
fresh and. for the most part, non-partisan
OUTLAWS.
The figures are collted at the right I'm =.

ASsemb.ymen, whether members of the Finance
Committees or not, ought to regard close
scrutiny of the appropriation bills ana fearless

his motto, wherever you SEQ an appropriation

his fellow who never draws the line. Ii Is
scarcely too much to affirm that all the Great

SEyITOR BECK'S FIRST GUN

i
Senator Beck opens the cannonadc for the
silver men Oh the position held by the Admins
trotiop. lie assaiIs with bitterness the course
of the Secretary Of the Treasury, ana proposes
resolutions which would be equivalent to Il
declaration Of want of confidence III the FreSI-
dent 1t is well known that such resolution
would be promptly adopted by majority OF the
Democratic members IN the House. III is aitO-
gcther probable that it would be adopted IN the
Senate, but for the Republicans in that body.
The conclusion to which this fact points is that
the Republicans have some confidence III the
present Administration, while the Democrats
have not.
Mr. Bcck's criticism is largely based upor a
Misrepresentation. lie declares that silver Will
purchase 20 per cent more now than 1t would
have purchased in 1870 giving the inference
that its purchasing power has actually advanced
because of some change in the worlds use OF
silver or confidence in that metal. The Tact
that the principal commodities have declined
in price all over the world, not because OF any
monetary change, but because of cheaper trans
rortation, because of highly stimulated produc-
ton in important countries, and because OF the
marvellous progress in invention and in the uic Of
H.
in The value of silver. But the truth is that
sill ,cr has only representative use today, IN
: country, in France or in Germany. People
receive it, not because they want the silver but
because they believe they still can get gold for
it, or use it instead of the gold it represents IN
ordinary dealings. So long as this continues
the silver has a purchasing power which be-
longs to gold. bat not to silver. But silver IT.
self is worth much less than it was in 1870, "a
Mr.. Beck well knows.
The course of Mr.. Becli's remarks Indicates
that he wants the first year OF a Democratic
Administration to be signalized by reputation
and by National bankruptcy. Years ago there
were many who openly advocated repudia-
tion frankly saying that they wished to
be revenged on those whose trust in the Union
had led to the overthrow of rebellion. Mr..
Beck speaks the wish Of these men still,
though the motive is no longer avowed. But
there are few citizens in either party who wish
for the Administration So dishonorng a fate rs
that which Mr.. Beck would bring upon it with
i'm its first wear.
