''Out OF the hole In the old Bonanza mine In the
Comstock lode from which $780, OOO, 600 In ore was
taken was packed foot of timber for every dollar
taken out, said Howard Storrs, an old Colorado
miner. 1.-THE timber cost 81, 400, 600, and some
strange phenomena have been produced in the
dark ana distant caverns by the changes it has
undergone. The timbers were laid In loosely,
probably two-thirds OF the space of the pits or
chambers being occupied by them, the thousands

as the timber packing is called, making up the

miners are at work. The explosion sets fire to the
smOklng furnace, the life OF which will not be
spent for years. The smoke works its way out up
ward through the porous surface OF the chamber,
put seems to become invisible on contact with the
ar retaining and distributing, however its strong

nrss covers wOrked-out space OF 1900 feet long
ana 100 wide. II by any chance draught OF fresh

would be indescribably terrible.
"Ine gas generated by these decaying timbers
Is OF the most deadly character, and the greatest
care must be taken to confne it within its limits

rect ventilation. Alright bulkheads sixty feet
thick cut off the deadly chambers from the rest of

Stanty kept In circulation in the COmstOck mines.
One OF these, which is carried down the Ophir
smart and up the Consolidated Virginia shaft, goes
down 10 the 100 foot level, and takes down
10000 feet OF air every minute. The 2.OOO-foot
tesei, reached by the Union shaft carries 1900

Nevada shaft. Sixteen thousand feet OF air is
taken down to the bottom OF the 29OO-fOOt level

tnese currents of air so down into the levels they
are pure and dry, but In making the passage reach
temperature OF 100 degrees and more. Besides

these currents in becoming heated, absorb SO

Sound Democracy.
New York Star.

New York Star.
The Illinois Democratic convention
cordially indorsed MIR. Cleveland's ad-
ministration and adopted a platform
showing that it represented party
whose Endorsement a Democratic ad-
ministration'h has a right to be proud of.
Among many excellent resolutions
affirming an intelligent devotion to
popular rights and clear compreheD-
sion of public interests, none more wor-
thy of commentator can be found than
that relating to the tariff. 1t reads as
follows:
purposes than raising revenue for the expenses
of the government, economically administered,
is robbery under the form of law. That we are
in favor of reduction of the present unjust
tariff to a revenue basis, and heartily indorse
the action of those Democratic Representatives
in Congress who were faithful to the cause of
tariff reform.
Here is clear presentation of a sound
Democratic doctrine, and a practical
application of the same to current
events. The Congress of the United
States has no power whatever under the
Constitution to levy one cent of tax for
any other purpose than that Of raising
the revenue necessary to meet the legit-
innate expenditure of the Federal gov
ernment. Any taxation for any other
purpose, no matter wi hat the pretext, is,
as our Illinois friend put it, robbery
under the form oflaw.' Such being the
case, the Democracy, as party defend
ing the Constitution and opposing the
usurpation by Congress, Of powers not
granted to it, is bound to omit no effort
to secure the reduction of the present
unjust tariff to revenue basis.'
An able Illinois statesman led the
Democrats of the House in an effort in
this direction. He failed only because
a number of other Democrats deserted
their party and voted with the Republi-
cans on this question. The Illinois
Democrats indorse the action of Mr..
Morrison and those who voted with
him, and thus, by Implication, they re-
pudiate the professed Democrats who
voted with the Republicans for con-
tinuance Of robbery under the form
of law.n
The Democracy of the country owes
mnch to the Democrats of Illinois for
sending Mr.. Morrison to Congress. The
obligation is increased by this platform
backing him up.
