WHAT THE NEXT CENSUS WILL DO FOR
REPUBLICANS

WASHINGTON, Nov, 1.-THE reap.
portionment of congressional represent
tation from States will be made during
the session following the taking of the
eleventh census in June, 1890. This
proceeding will be carried out under re-
publican auspices. and the fact Is Civ
ing great concern to democrats, partic-
ularly those from the south. This is a
feature of the repu blican victory that
is of the greatest Importance, and
which must lead to discussion and
probable action on the question of the
suppression of the colored vote in the
south. There will be an increase in
the representation of a number of the
western States, naturally republican,
which, tog ether with the admission of
four new States with twelve electoral
votes, will, in 1892. make republican
success almost a certainty, and render
the solid south factor of less impor-
lance than it now is. The Significance
of this feature is appreciated by none
so much as the leaders of the south,
who see that they will have to make
new alliances to benefit their section of
the country and obtain recognition for
themselves.

This is the airy, singing title of an
other sprightly amusing book by Pal
mer Cox. 1t is one of the QUEER PEG.
PIE series, and similar to its companion
"Paws and Claws" of which we told
you recently. This is one of the fun
NEST and brightest books for young
sters we have ever seen. The illustra-
tions are splendid and will make the
boys and girls roar with laughter. The
Boston Budget, says: as q holiday
book nothing could be more opprOpri-
ate, since nothing could confer greater
pleasure upon the little ones" The
National Republican says: EUery page

tainly be wonderfully popular. 1t is

of Philadelphia, Chicago, and Kansas
City, to whom persons desiring copy

TERrrpLE ACCIDENT.

The most i:,rible accident i'm the
history of tht State occurred on No
vember 9th. at Frontenac, q small
coal mining | N in Cherokee county,
near Pittsbu;s. A special to the st..
Louis Post-D 'Spdtch gives the best re-
port we have en- of the disaster. 1t
says:
The Pittsburg and Cherokee, or
Santa Fe mining company had more
orders than they could fill and in their
attempts to keep up have been running
an unusually large force of miners.
Friday morning 164 men were lowered
into the mine. At noon the shots
were fired all right and later the min
ers descended for afternoon duty. The
first shot had been fired, bnt before a
man could be hoisted terrible rumb-
ling noise was heard above and black
cloud of dirt, slate and dust was shot
into the air from the mouth of the
shaft, tearing away the tracks upon
which the cages are hoisted and filling
the shaft with debris. The explosion
occurred on the east side and is attrib.
uted to the inexperience of some of the
new men. Before the men outside
could recover their senses one of the
miners appeared at the air shaft, ,sear-
ly suffocated. He was helped out and
followed by others until a large num-
Der had escaped-how many is not
known. There was plenty of help at
hand, and those at the top devoted
their attention to rescuing entomed
companions. The fan house being only
slightly damaged, was first repaired
canvas being tackled over the holes that
had to be closed. About II o'clock
the fan house was ready and fresh air
was pumped into the mine, driving
back the poisonous gas and averting
sufiocation. Attention was then turn
ed to repairing the cribbing SO that the
cage could be lowered. Men lowered
i'm the shaft by ropes and buckets could
accomplish nothing. At 2 pm. the
cage was ready to descend and rescu-
ing party was lowered into the shaft.
Owing to the bad air they could not
remain long. On the first return of
the cage it contained number of unin.
jured but badly demOralized men.
The bottom of the shaft was badly
damaged and it was difficult to get at
the dead. AS found they were piled
together at the bottom, while the liv-
ing and badly wounded were hoisted
| to the top. AT a. m. five had been
rescued and at p. m. four more were
brought out alive. AT this time they
struck an entry containing twelve
more dead, and at this hour,2 p. m.
there are twenty-five dead and nine
wounded found, with twenty-five mis-
sing who are supposed to be dead.
A large number of the killed are
| French and italian miners.

Not only are they elected to offices
which satisfy their supreme ambition,
but they are elected under circumstan-
ces from which every element of bitter
ness is absent. No dispersion Of the
private character of either has been
essayed-for which much thanks and
credit to the gentlemen who conducted
the opposition to their elect hand

has been repealed as soon as made.
The gentlemen elected to the chief of

rot with no friends to reward" at
least "with no enemies to punish"
Calumny has not pursued them during
their canvass, nor does envy follow
them to their seats. Now that the
end has come it is admitted by demo-
Gratis that the republicans could have
elected no better men, and republicans
are gratified by so just and generous an
admission.

A DAKOTA BLIZZARD.

Little or no snow falls in Dakota,
from November to April. 1t is toa
cold to snow, and the blizzard is not a
snow storm lin the ordinary sense OF
the word), but a cold wind which
comes sweeping down from Behring
Strait, with velocity of from fifty to-
sixty miles an hour, bringing with it
a blast of finely powdered ice. Imagine
a thick fog, all o. ice, blown along by
high wind; the tiny particles coming
with such velocity, sting like blow
from whip lash.
Nothing can stand before it. Those
buffalo and cattle, who are used to it,
make for the lee side of the nearest
hill, haystack, or building, and huddle
together for safety, trusting to being
covered by the snow, and thus kept
warm; when, if the storm does not
last too long they may escape alive.
You cannot see across the street from
one house to another, and men have
been frozen to death within a few feet
of home and safety. The thermometer
fails many degrees below zero, beyond
the power of mercury TO measure it;
only the best spirit. thermometers can
be used for these low temperatures.
When going with the wind you are
driven along with resistless force; If
against 1t, you are knocked down and

THE MUGwUMPs FATAL FRIENDSHIP

From the New York Tribune.
Tested by the fierce white light OF

thing not to have is the support of the
mugwumps! Just look at it. AL
though Ira Davenport had never done
them any harm they earnestly es.
poused his cause when he ran for Gov.
ernor in 1885. Mr.. Davenport was de.
feated by a plurality of II, l34 although
in 1854 Cleveland scraped in with but
1,O47. In the same year they gallant
ly rallied around General Woodward
in his canvass for the mayorality OF
Brooklyn. What was the nature OF
the grudge which they bore against
the general is not known. But it is
history that he was a bad third in the
race. receiving only 1854 votes in a
total of 1O0,5 $50.
So it was in the recent campaign.
The assistance of the mugwumps was
not distinguishable from a superior ar
ticle of mildew. They made Warner
Miller a victim of their good will. Mil.
Ter was strong and popular candi.
date, but it was no use. So too, they
buckled close to Mayor Hewitt. And
although the mayor fought good
fight, he not only was beaten but did
not even succeed in gaining second
place, Over in Massachusetts, their
pet congressional nominee was Thomas
Wentworth Higginson, and the voters
turned around and elected General
Banks by handsome plurality,
Is it not true that man who runs
for public Office with the mugwumps
enlisted in his favor runs with mill
stone around his neck?

In the State of New York it was
thoroughly understood that the elec'
ton of Hill meant the triumph of the
wbiskey power; and that no legislation
hostile to that interest would receive
executive approval. 1t was.just as well
understood that the election Of War
ner Miller meant the passage of the
most stringent suppressive measures
that could be enforced. The prohibi-
tionists defeated Miller and elected
Hill; they relegated all temperance
measures to the shades for at least two
years to come; and in view of this
palpable and apparent injury done to
the cause, we can well understand
the bitter reproach and denunciation
that the temperance people of the
State are heaping upon the heads OF
the disciples of st. John.

AT THIS writing it is impossible to
say which party will control the house
of representatives. The contest is so
close that the official vote will be
required to decide. While the dem.
ocratic managers are moving heaven
and earth to figure out majority
there is pretty we'll defined feeling
among the rank and file of the party
that as long as they have lost the pres.
idency and are virtually powerless, it
would be better for them to be in NO
way responsible for political mea sures
during the next four years. Should
they retain control of the house, they
will, as democrats, lie under the neces
sity of opposing measures, such as the
admission of territories; the suppress
ion of polygamy in Utah and the re-
enfranchisement of the negro in the
south; measures in which there is
manifest justice. To oppose these
things means political death at the
hands of the people; to favor them is
to call down upon their devoted heads
the condemnation of their own party /.
1t is possible that for two years more
they may clog the wheels of legislation
and obstruct the progressed the country,
but is only postponing the happy day
when democracy shall drop out of sight;
to rise again only when the trump of
some political Gabrial shall call from
their graves things long passed away
and forgotten.

The republican party does not come
into power to try an experiment in
running the government; they are old
hands at the husines and the people
feel that they do not have to learn the
expense o. the country. Mr.. Harrison
can call to his assistance an army of
trained and trusty men; men skilled
and experienced in every department
from post master to cabinet minis.
ter. And there is no reason to fear the
future; republican administration
will not only have the advantage of
experience, but they may profit and
learn wisdom from the mistakes of dem
ocracy. They can take up the reins
of government strong in the knowl-
edge that the sympathies of the peo-
pie are with them aud that in all wise
md patriotic legislation they will have
the cordial support and cooperation OF
the country. Democracy asked for a
trial, it was given them and we had a
term of democratic rule: but the ver-
dict of the people is not"well done"and
the old hands have been recall ed.
Much is expected of the administration
of General Harrison, and that expec.
tation will not be disappointed. The
opportunity is great and the men who
who will be called to the front are
equal to the occasion.
