What the Republicans Will Do.

Ifit shall be found that the Republicans
have the house by a working majority they
will have control of the entire government,
for there is no longer any question that they
will control the senate. Then if the state
ments OF those who ought to know are to be
relied upon, the Republicans among other
things, will endeavor to carry out the follow
ing:
First-To postpone the consideration of
the subject OF the reduction of the revenue
and all tariff legislation until the Republicans
shall be in full possession of the government.
Second-to enact laws to admit at the ear
lest possible moment two states in. Dakota
and one in Montana, Washington Territory
ana possibly Wyoming.
Ihird-To convene congress-, possibly, in
extra session on March 4 in orderto organize
the house and to give effect to the admins
tration policy as early as practicable.
Fourth-To consider and if possible to pass
the Blair educational bill and any other
measures which receive the support Of North
ern Republicans as to which the Southern
Democrats are divided.
Fifth-To attempt generally to enact laws
which will receive support of a considerable
portion of the South and to seek to enlist
which fayors protection and educational
measures In movements which it is expected
will tend to render the South less solid.
Sixth-The admission of Oklahoma as q
territory and it's subsequent admission as q
state if it shall appear that the population is
likely to be Republican.
Seventh-The extinction of polygamy in
Utah and when that shall have been accom-
plished the admission of Utah as q state.
Eighth-The passage of the tonnage bill OF
the present congress or of some bill which
will encourage ship building.
Ninth-To devise, if practicable, further

1t is said that President Garfield
had not the faintest idea of the value
OF money-by consequence often a
realizing sense of the inconvenience
of lacking it. A story is told of his
going once to a banker friend for
$500 for the incidental expenses of a
California trip for which tickets had
been sent him, and that the gentle
man, while willing enough to lend it,
would do SO only on condition that
one-half should be paid Mr.. Garfield
after he was aboard the train and
the other given into his wife's safe
keeping, as otherwise he was sure
there would not be aceLt of it on
hand for the journey.

rescuers to tho. mine, said the men were
about to quit work for the day when the
explosion occurred. Together with the
Dane he had ridden in the car to the top
Of the shaft, when the earth seemed to
snap beneath him, and the next thing no re-
allied was the splashing Of the snow and wa
ter upon his face as he lay with his comrade
in the w~reckage above the mine. Big fires
were built near the mouth of the pit and be-
side these blazing piles the women Of the en-
tombed miners placed their children while
they, themselves, tried by all kinds OF en-
treaties to induce the miners from the other
shaft to enter the pit and rescue their rela-
tlves. One rescuing party started down the
shaft at Z o'clock, but was forced to turn
back, owing to the foul air. Another attempt
was mnde at 8 o'clock, but the plucky
rescuers We're again forced to abandon their
work. They could hear no sound
from the chambers below, and this
leads old miners to believe that all
the men in heshaft have persisted. Other at
tempts will be made to reach the entombed
men. Those who started down the shaft
early in the evening say that the shock has
destroyed whole drifts, and that it is proba-
Ole that the men in the lower levels are buried
beneath tons of slate. Black damp is sup
posed to have caused the explosion. Most Of
the miners at these shafts came originally
from Illinois n Pennsylvania.

Factory Hands Perish in the F1amcs---A Long
List Of the Missing, Who May be In the Ruins.

The most dangerous and fatal fire that has
happened in Rochester, N. Y. for many years
occurred recently, and the loss Of life is ex-
pected to reach between fifty and sixty. A
covered in the packing room of the Rochester
Steam Gauge and Lantern works, employing
n large number of men,. So busy
has the factory been lately
that the men have been working night and
day to catch up on orders. The building to
which the fire was confined was six stories
high. About sixty men were working in the
three upper floors, and as soon as they found
there was fire underneath them they began to
leap from the windows, ignoring the fire
escapes with balconies on the south side ofthe
building. In these leaps quite a number Of
men were injured, many of them 80
seriously that they will probably die.
By 8 O'Clock the building was en-
tirely destroyed, and five men had been
taken out dead; sixteen were seriously in
jured, fourteen were entirely safe, and the
rest u~naccounted for, of whom quite a num-
Der are unknown by name. The scenes at
the fire were heartrending, and prominent
among those who were present after the fire
were three priests in the surplices who ad-
ministered spiritual comfort to those who
were in q dying condition. The factory was
built OF the high bank, on the west side of
the Genesee river, and was a difficult one for
the firemen to getit, owing to one side being
entirely closed to them.
Until the books are examined, it will not be
possible to tell who were actually at work
and how many. persons are lost. Among
those saved were John Platts, who escaped
by sliding from the sixth floor. He says
there were thirty persons at work on that
hoor, and three were saved-Robert and
Horat1o Hall and Joseph Smith. Platt
thinks thnt about ten others escaped with
him. The lantern works, with stock and
machinery. is q total loss, estimated at
about 1926, 900. The insurance is $179, 900.
the cause of the fire is a mystery. Two men
went to work after supper and all seemed to
DO right then. Soon afterward Jacob Diehl,
the Waterman, while making his usualrounds
discovered flames making way up through
the floor. He had barely time to give the
alarm when he was surrounded by the flames,
but he succeeded in making the dan
ger known to the men on the fourth,
fifth and sixth floors. These at once
realized their position and made their
way from the building, but before
all got out the structure was a seething mass
of fire. There was not the slightest chance
of escape by the usual doors of exile, and the
windows were at once utilized for the purpose.
The majority of the workmen lost their heads
and began to jump instead of taking the fire
ladders that were attached to the building.
1t is believed that a number of men are
buried in the ruins. but at present it is i'm
possible to be sure of this.

methodIst ministers meeting.

The regular weekly meeting Of the Meth
odist preachers of this city and vicinity was
held at 10 q. M Monday in Chestnut street
yestry.
Rev. d. B. Randall was in the chair.
Prayer was offered by Rev. #. w. Berry of
Lewiston.
Rev. T. S. Stackpole gave a scholarly re-
view of "Bowen's Metaphysics" which was
listened to with great attention and satisfac-
ton.
The interest was intensified by the fact
that this was the last meeting Mr.. Stackpole
will attend, having been appointed to Rome.
He leaves the city this week.
At the conclusion of the review, very affec-
tionate and appreciativa farewell remarks
were addressed to Mr.. Stackpole by Mr..
Randall in behalf of the meeting, and a
hearty response was made.
Also the following resolutions were unani-
mously passed:
Whereas, our brother, Rev. e. s. Stackpole,
has been transferred from Maine Conference to
Resolved, That while we regret his departure
from us, we recognize the wisdom OF the autnor-
tiles that have selected him for SO important
ministerial and Christian sympathy.
Resolued That we desire also to record our
high appreciation of Brother Stackpole as a
preacher and devout and earnest Christian work
er among us.
1t was designed for the preachers TO lunch
together at the conclusion of the meeting,
and have an appropriate and affectionate
farewell service, but after careful search
a first class hotel was not found that was
free from intoxicating liquors. On that ac-
count the lunch was dispensed with.
Before adjournin2 resolution was passed
commencing Rev. F. L. Bayley's courage
and fidelity to temperance principles and
pledging him sympathy and support.

DivINEs DISAGREE.
A Discussion Not Decided by Prayer
Intolerance of Opinion.

The following is an extract from late
New York Tribune editorial: There Is,
perhaps, no mental vice so common as intol-
erance of opinion. Even such as think they
have emancipated themselves from the cling
ing defect find it hard to acknowledge frankly
to themselves that the opinion Of some one
else upon matter they have studied may
very well be as deserving of respect as their
own, If 1t differs radically from their own
II we could all get rid of this last infrmity,
not only of noble minds but of nearly all
human minds, how much less friction there
would be in life, how much less bitterness
and heart burning and envy and all unchar-
itableness."
In an adjoining column Of the same paper
was found the following peculiar commen-
tary on the editorial:
1.-The bitterness of the controversy in the
American Board over the question Of proba-
ton after death was very great This rather
shocked the supplemented and earnest Tor
eigD missionaries who attended the sessions
of the Board, one of whom said he had al
ways thought such questions were decided
by prayer. But if the debate was not alto
gether Christian in spirit. it was strictly par
liamentary. The brethren didn't forget to
put a copy Of Cushing's Manual in their
valise along with their Bible, and apparently
some of them consulted it oftener than the
Bible"
Is it fact that there is but little liberation
in this country, and less in others?
Comparisons are ordorous," said Mrs.
Ma1a ho claiming
too much for this free nation.
We must admit that in the professions
there is yet much of the old time prejudice
against new ideas. Preachers preach the old
doctrines and doctors prescribe the old medi-
cines. Bitter controversies arise when any
thing new is proposed.
But the march of progress is not stayed.
Men are travelling heayenward under new
creeds and being cured by new medicines.
Much the same state OF facts seems to exist
in other countries.
When DIR. Robson, a leading physician of
London, formerly of the Royal Navy, pro-
claimed that Warmers safe cure was specific
in kidney arrangements. the hide bound
school to which he belonged threatened to
debar him from practice II he did not recant.
But he replied that his statement was based
on such evidence that he could not recant.
Since then, Dr. Wilson, +. r. S. E. editor
of Health" a recognized English authority,
announces in his magazine that Warmers
safe cure is Of perfectly safe character and
perfectly reliable Many English physicians
are now prescribing it.
The schools" in this country still bar all
n. n
of New York Medical College, long since
published: warmers safe cure is very
valuable remedy" and says he knows that
many physicians prescribe it though not by
name.
Good things in creed or practice are not to
be cried down by the old fogies simply be-
cause they are new. The spirit of liberation
thrives on opposition.
