THE MOUNTAIN IS TUMBLING.

Five Hundred Miners Thrown Out of
Employment by the Mine Gazing In.
CARBoNDALE, Pa, Feb. THE miners
in the White Bridge tunnel of the Della
ware and Hudson Canal company's
mines here have been compelled to sus-
pend work on account of the bursting of
the pillars of the mine and the settling
of the roof and ground above it. The
entire mountain west of this city seems
to be seriously disturbed by this settling
of the excavated portions. The area ac-
tually undermined is fully two miles in
length by about three-quarters of mile
in width. Five hundred men are thrown
out of employment.

We are glad to see that the gossips are
giving our William Window alittle show
among all the rest of the cabinet pre-
dictions. General Harrison could hunt
a good while before finding better man
for Secretary of the Treasury than Mr..
Window and We hope there is something
tangible IN the story of his selection for
the place, though We doubt it.

SENATOR Bowen has introduced a
bill designed TO keep Pinkerton detec-
tives out of the state and prevent their
being employed by big corporations to
guard their property during strikes.
The measure would prevent any person
not a resident of Minnesota from exer-
cising police powers in the state. 1t is
hardly an ayisable move to make. Grim
inals are not hunted down any too close
ly or surely in this state, and as one of
the Senators opposed to the bill says,
law abiding citizens have no need to
fear the police ofthis or any other state.
Pinkerton men doubtless have in some
cases exercised an undue power, but in
many cases their presence has been a
wholesome restraint upon rioters and
others who would outrage the laws.

The law providing that the execution
of all murderers take place at the States
prison would be good one for our legis-
lature to adopt. Meanwhile there is no
need of abolishing hanging, or of exper-
imenting with electricity us method of
execution-at least until We see how it
works in New York State.

Horse Blankets which are strong
and have a reputation are always
initiated in poor qualities which
look like them, but having fewer
warp threads are not as strong.
Some dealers buy these poor
limitations for a few cents less and
by saying theyare "just as good"
sell them at the same price as the
strong blankets to parties who do
not know the difference.
You cannot tell whether horse
blankets are strong by the look
or feel, as the warp threads do
not show on the face. How then

NOTES.

c. r. Davis of Nicollet, introduced a
bill which proposes the abolition of cap
ital punishment. 1t makes the penalty
for murder in the first degree life sem
tence in the penitentiary; murder in
this second degree from Is to % years;
murder in the third degree to 30 years.
Senator Pope turned in the
bill of expenses incurred by
the senate bribery investigating
committee yesterday. 1t amounted
to $26. 1t included bills of $3.50 each to
W. w. Irwin and D. C. O'Brien, who
were employed as attorneys, and one
for $50 to Jacob Murch, who was SER
geant-at-arms.
A bill which it is thought will do away
with a great deal of the so-called "shyst-
er practice" was introduced by Senator
Truax Yesterday. 1t provides that no
justice of the peace or other magistrate
shall issue warrant for arrest, or enter
tain complaint, or begin any action I'M
less the one who makes complaint is
willing to give bonds for the costs, or can
produce the written consent of the coun-
ty where it is brought. The single ex-
ception is in cases where the offense is
committed in the presence of an officer
who makes the arrest. Persons arrested
on warrants where the provisions noted
have not been observed may plead to
this effect, and the law provides for their
dismissal on these grounds.

Mr.. Boselly, president Of the New York Typo

Burke, delegates from that union, were at the
capitol to-day, interviewing members in the in
terest of the Chace copyright bill. The typo
graphical clause in the bill originated
with the New York Typographical Union.
Their special purpose here is, they say
to counterfeit the effects of petitions which
have been sent in opposing the Chace bill.
These petitions, they say, have been signed in
many cases by printers through misunder-
standing. The Chace bill has passed the
Senate and is pending in the House

necessary standards will have been perfected.
Secretary Bayard calls attention to the neces-
slty for appropriating 80, 100, the amount as
sessed against the United States for its share
Of the expenses. He says that experience has
fully demonstrated the utility and convenience

suits in providing universal standards of
