We understand that the County COM
missioners will replace the destroyed
bridges as rapidly as judicious contracts
can be let for the work, but that they
will not undertake to proceed faster than
they can do with judicious regard for
the finances of the County, and the neces-
sities of the travelling public. In this we
think they are wise, for they will save the
County several thousand dollars. The
damaged bridges should be repaired, and
the Mill bridges replaced as soon as prac-
ticable. The mill bridges are important
alike to the public and to private interests,
and should receive an early attention.
We know that the Commissioners ir
charge ofthe County sinterests will do the
best that can be done under the circum-
stances, and the public will have to put
up with the necessary inconvenience of
the situation, and should do so without
grumbling, for the calamity could not
have been avoided, aud cannot now be
repaired without taking considerable time
and money.

are informed that he has chosen the latter

many more men are there now in position
like Martin Irons? VIII they not, as far
as they can, initiate him, il opportunity
occurs? There are such men in power,
and they will flare up whenever the
chance occurs, believing that such step
will give them notoriety, and the interests
OF the order are but a secondary consider
alton with them. They should be re-
moved whenever found, and no man
should hold office with power but those
who are proved and tried good men of
Judgment, and whose whole aim is for
the benefit of the masses. They should
be all for or all against the Order, and no
medium should be permitted. On the
broad platform that the laborer is
worthy of his hire, all officials should
receive sufficient salary to claim their
whole time, and disinterested services
should be firmly refused 1t is among
the men who offer the latter class OF ser
vices that the great danger lies, and they
should not be recognized in the manage
ment Of the affairs of the Order. The
present abject downfall OF Irons is-but n
specimen OF what awaits the whole Order
ii care is not taken to hedge about its di-
rectorate with bands of steel, and the
personal loyalty of no man should be
trusted to perform work, when bond
of some other kind can be eXacted. In
short, the Order should be conducted on
strict business principles, and sentiment
be relgiously kept from its counsels.
This appalling picture OF Il man who once
swayed thousands by his orders, now an
outcast, sould remind the officers OF the
Order that public opinion expects much
from them, and that they should freely
give much.

INDIGNANT MILITARY.

The army in general, and that part OF
it which effected the capture of Geronimo
and his gang, in particular, object to the
handling of the subject by the press, and
cultivate IA supercillious Indignation,
which is ont OF place. Within itself, it
is no doubt necessary that criticism OF
those engaged should not be permitted,
but it will be very bad day for this
country when the press ceases to handle
the doings OF the army and those who
compose it. The particular trouble Just
now is that the friends OF General Crook
are afraid the work OF their idol will be
overlooked in the later success OF Gen.
eral Miles, and because the press saw fit
TO make comparisons between the work

sooth, are indignant. There IL little

THE PUBLIC PRINTER.

The DEMOCRAT has always advocated
the "iire-out" policy in connection with
Republican hold.overs, and is glad to
note that it is being put in use by the
Administration. slowly but surely and
that the results are all that good men
could expect. The following Plain Dealer
special from Washington shows just how
the policy worked in the case OF the
Public Printer:
II is understood that Public Printer Bene-
dict will appoint to general foremanship of
the Government Printing Office John Dal-
of New York. This was the nucleus of
the revolt against Blaine, and Dalton led
S64 union Republican printers to vote for
Cleveland.
This places the Government Printing
Office in line with the leading dailies
throughout the country, and gives proof
that Benedict will conduct the affairs OF
the Office in strictly business manner,
giving fair pay for fair work, and having
the good will of the craft, wherever
Union exists. 1t is now in order for
Cowles and his paper, the Cleveland
Leader, to go for Benedict, and hold him
up as an migrate, because he, Cowles, in
his blind rage against men who desired
fair wages for their labor, has gotten
himself into scrape where he will even
tually come out OF the little end OF the
horn, and be a heavy financial loser by
his hebitudinous actions. There is no
one act possible by which Mr.. Benedict
could so easily and fully gain the conf
dence and respect of the printing frater-
nifty, and under the impulse for good
thus given his administration, the public
printers office will sail down the stream
OF time, credit and profit to him, the
Government, and The men who labor in
it. This is strictly in consonance with
pure Democratic doctrine.

MARTIN IRONS CASE.

The Kansas City Times has the follow
ing humiliating picture OF Martin Irons
who a few months since led the men OF
East st. Louis in the strike that occa-
stoned so much bloodshed and destruc-
ton OF property, including loss OF reve-
nues and wages to his dupes, that the
country through which the Missouri Pa
cific Railroad passes will not recover from
its effects for years
Martin Irons, the leader of the great strike
on the Gould system; whose orders stopped
the freight traffic on the Missouri Pacific
Railroad, was sight last night that the
men who obeyed his orders would hardly
have appreciated. Hollow-eyed and hag-
gard, he paced up and down in cell at the
Central police station, and no one came to
bail him out.
About o'clock Officer Fairfield asserts
that he found irons at the corner of Main
and Fifth streets in an intoxicated condition.
At any rate, Irons was arrested and taken to
the Central station, where the officers in
charge agreed with the arresting officer that
the fallen leader was drunk, and he was
looked up. The police say that Irons has
gotten into condition where he is amenable
to the vagrancy laws He said he was living
in Rosedale, kapsas, and was not doing any
thing at present.
Irons has become familiar figure to the
people whose bushes takes them to the
vicinity of the City Hall. After the strike
he located in Rosedale, but he has spent
most of his time in Kansas City. For time
the frequency with which he was seen in the
Mikado saloon, an underground resort on
Fifth and Maine streets, led to the belief
that he was the proprietor, but he denied
last night that he had ever owned it. At
NaI
not profitable to him, and since the public
ceased to believe that he VIA, he proprietor
he has spent great deal of his time on the
street corners in the neighborhood. He has
gotten to look very seedy, and when he is
pointed out as the leader of the great strike,
very few persons will believe that the shabby
looking little man is really the great Martin
Irons. He read a short speech to about 100
laboring men on the square on Sunday, and,
while his utterances were not incendiary, he
processes to believe that they were the cause
of his arrest.
He was subsequently arraigned and fined
$3.50.
What a powerful and pointed lesson
this teaches to the Knights oil Labor,
and how necessary it is that they should
learn it in the conduct OF the coming con-
vention at Richmond next month. Irons
was one OF the dangerous men who al
lowed his personal feelings to actuate him
in the control oi the power ill-advisedly
given him and the people OF the country,
irrespective OF profession or financial
standing turned on him for the ruin he
wrought without one compensating ad-
vantage, and will forever hold him out
side OF the pale OF social standing. lie

and in the face OF friendly and better
councils, acting US ii Martin Irons

OF Labor, and the Order was

not to raise the standing of any particular
officer, or lower it either. The press is
conducted in the interests OF the people,
and for that reason looks upon military
matters with an unprejudiced eye, not
caring continental cartridge-box
whether General Crook or General Miles
captured Geronimo, 50 that the willy
scoundrel cannot escape again and work
havoc in the Western country. Then
again it occurs to us, that true soldier
finds sufficient applause Ia the iuii con-
sciousness OF having performed his duty,
and that when he or his friends presents
his name for enconium by the press, he
goes a little off his true course, and If he
is pricked occasionally by some son-of-a-
gun who knows more about ink than
powder, he has but himself to blame.

tinue to be discussed by the press until

THEORY VS.. PRACTICE.

The horrible story wired over the coun-
OF the burying alive of several coal
miners, by CAVERN in u mine in that
city, shows the inutlitv OF allowing men
of little or no education to be sworn in
and act as mine inspectors, as is required
under the Pennsylvania State laws. by
these laws, each year, candidates for the
position OF mine inspector congregate at
Pittsburg, and are there given a set OF
printed questions, the answers to which
they must write in presence OF the Com
missioners OF Mines, and from the re-
turns, the writer's are selected to fill va
cancics in the ranks OF mine inspectors,
and these are the men who peri
odically visit and examine all
mines being worked, and certify that
said mines are safe or otherwise to work
in These candidates come from all parts
of the country and all of them are
miners, having themselves worked for
years underground, and the miners
Unions prefer them as inspectors, to men
who have made life-study OF mining
engineering, guided by the light Of
science. Without doubt, the mine in
which this accident occurred was duly
inspected by one Of these practical
miners, and passed as safe, when il it
had been subjected to scientific search
lao
The case is very like that OF old-time ship
masters who found their way over the
oceans by dead-reckoning, and when
coming on the land, by the use OF
the lead and line, and the men who
are educated in nautical astronomy and
find their sure path by the movements
OF the planets. The old-timers are gen.
orally the best working sailors, in all the
detail of caring for ship and her crew,
and sailors always prefer to ship with
such men, but it has been fully proved
that absolute safety, so far as human en-
deavor can 60, requires the scientific nav
igator, and so the law compels owners OF
insured ships to furnish educated seamen
to officer them. Parallel cases in other
professions are numerous, but not neces-
sary to quote here, all showing that mine
inspectors, more than any other class OF
.esponsible men, SHOULD find ground for
their opinions of mines in scientific
knowledge OF the earth's history and
formation, supplemented by prerequi-
site practical knowledge OF open
ing and working mines. The men
thus untimely cut off, leave helpless fam
lilies, and under existing law there is no
help for them other than that which
springs from the weil-known charity OF
their own kind, and their future paths
through life are rendered hard indeed.
II the movement, once inaugurated in
Pennsylvania and allowed to die out,
whereby owners were liable for damages
in such cases, was again revived, it might
come to be law, and then those who are
willingto chance the Judgment of self
made miners in preference to that OF sci
entific men, would soon see where their
interests were, and these narrowing tales
of firedamp explosions and cavings would
not be so general, or so deadly when they
did orc,lr
