TWO GREAT DISASTERS.
MEAGER REPORTS OF A KANSAS
MINE DISASTER.
1t Is Thought That 100 Men Have Per-
ished-Fatal Fire in Rochester-Six
Men Killed by Jumping From VIM
dows and Ten Fatally Hurt.

KANSAS Cry, No., Nov. GA Journal
special from Pittsburg, Kas., says: The
most dreadful disaster in the history Of
Kansas occurred at O'Clock this evening.
When the men were preparing to leave off
their work at shaft No. 2, at Frontenac,
suburb of Pittburg, terrible explosion
was heard that shook the earth for great
distance and completely shattered tho
shaft. Upon investigation it was found
that 100 men were in the mine at the
time OF the explosion. Being liz feet
below the surface it is almost certain
that all are dead at this writing. The only
exceptions were two men who were in q
car coming up, and being near the top Of
the shaft managed to escape. Pittsburg is
in the center OF the coal mines Of South
eastern Kansas and is about 100 miles south
of Kansas City on the Fort Scott & Gulf
road.
The Pittsburg telegraph Office Is closed,
and every effort to have il opened failed.

Democratic plurality.

Dolnooi"eic plurality. 141 1885
The increase in the Democratic vote this
year over four years ago was only about
6OoO, while the Republican gain in the inter
val was 1000. or almost twice as great az
that of the Democratic party In 1872 the
electoral vote of Virginia was given to the
Republicans, but since then the Democrats
have always carried it in Presidential cleo
ton. But this year, in total vote of about
SOS,OOO, the Democrat margin is so small that
change OF 800 votes from the Democrats to
the Republicans would have given the State
to Harrison. Nor should it be forgotten
that on the vote for congressman in 1886 the
Republicans had majority Of about 1000
and that last year, on the popular vote for
members of the Legislature, the Democratic
majority was only 426. Malone is an astute
politician and ought to know enough to let
well enough alone.

The request of the Rev. DIR. Atterbury,
who represents the Sabbath Observance
Society, that the Excise Commissioners of
New York shall recommend that the name
of the owner of the building in which a
liquor saloon is situated shall appear on the
license granted to the saloon keeper, moves
the New York Sun to the remark that
neither In the eye of the law nor in fact is
the liquor business disreputabIe. 1t is an
honest business" and therefore, in the SUMS
opinion, one with which no New York real
estate owner need feel ashamed of being
connected indirectly But the very fact that
DIR. Atterbury's society requests the blazon-
ing the names of sach landlords shows that
public sentiment even in New York city is
moving away from the eighteenth century
position occupied by the Sun.

The story that Malone contemplates form
ing a distinctly white Republican party in
Virginia is probably untrue. The Virginia
Republicans are doing splendidly as they
are, as is shown by a comparison of the vote
OF Virginia on the Presidential ticket in 1884
and 1893.

South Carolina has population of mil
lion and quarter. but the total vote thrown
at the recent election was only $4,000, or one
vote for every sixteen persons. Since 1876
the vote has been steadily declining, not
withs.anding the population has been steadi-
ly increasing. In that year the total vote for
President was $4,000. Four years later the
total was 10000, decline of 1900. Four
years later there was huge falling off of
over $4,000. the total vote that year being
but $1,000, and now this total has dropped to
$1,000. There can be but one explanation OF
this phenomenon. A large per cent. of South
Carolina's voting population has been
taught that it Is unsafe or useless. or both.
for them to vote, and therefore they stay
away from the polls. Yet this State in
which not more than a third of the popula-
tion are permitted to take part in elections
enjoys representation In Congress based
upon the number Of those permitted to vote
added to the number not permitted to vote.
In other words, it practically enjoys three
times the representation Of Northern State
of the same population. Or, to put it anoth-
er way, one man in South Carolina enjoys as
much political power as three men in Maine.
These facts are not new, but the recent cleo
ton calls fresh attention to them.
