managed to escape, although Corwin was
badly injured. The others also started to
run when they heard the timbers crack. but
they were too far in the drift to be able to
reach place Of safety. Immediately after
the accident men were lowered into the
shaft and they commenced digging into the
debris. BY last evening the rescuinQ party
had succeeded in getting only eight feet
into the pile of earth and timber and none
Of the victims had been reached. Ii is said
that there is no prospect Of getting the men

There is no longer any hope Of rescuing The

sixteen men were crushed to death.
Information reached here this afternoon
that the surface of the mine at Angel Camp.

has cayed down to depth Of forty feet. and
the cave extends along the vein from the

cessary TO stop all work towards the re-

There is little doubt that the hoists have
been drawn INTO the cave.

WHEREIN THEY ARE ALLIES.

The prohibltionists and liquor sellers
OF the east are solid allies in opposition
to high license. The liquor dealers OF
New York held a convention last week,
and among their resolutions was one de-
claring that 1--WE are opposed to that at
tempt to regulate which seeks by high
license to discriminate between the
rich and the poor, or against one To-
cality." The prohibitlonists of New
York and Massachusetts also held con-
ventions last week, both condemning
high license, those of the lat
ter state declaring that ''we
heartily reject high license as
opposed to experience and utterly
misleading in its promises" Thus the
extremists join in condemning u policy
which is steadily growing in the ap-
proval and con fidence OF practical, con-
servative men.
There is another respect in which
these antagonistic elements are fight
ing for the same end. That is to defeat
the republican party. The New York
liquor dealers convention was dis
tinctly in the interest of Governor Hill,
and was so pronounced in this respect
that the governor has disclaimed
any desire to pose before the
country as peculiarly liquor deal
ers' candidate. The real purpose,
however, may not have been to promote
his political fortunes so much us to serve
notice on other democratic aspirants
and the party generally that in order to
secure the liquor support they must be
in accord with the policy Governor Hill
has followed. The prohibition party in
New York, as in Pennsylvania and
Ohio, intends to direct all its energies
for the defeat of the republican candi-
dates, and is figuring on making large
gains, which will be drawn mainly
from the republicans. The Mas
sachusetts prohibitionists passed
resolution roundly denouncing
the republican party of that state, and
characterizing the party generally as
the friend of intemperance.
Against these forces, virtually allied
so far as the republican party in the
states named is concerned. that party,
fully committed to q iudicious and
practicable policy of restraining and
controlling the liquor traffic, will need
to do vigorous battle. AS to Massachu-
setts and Pennsylvania, republican sue
cess may be regarded as assured,
though diminished maiorities are to be-
expected. but the united efforts of the
liquor dealers and prohibitionistsi in New
York in the interest of democracy are to
be feared, while in Ohio there is dam
ger from prohibition gains draw from
the re publican vote.

A Candid Opinion of Tanner.
Fhaddelphia Press (Rep.)


Commissioner Tanner is moro foolish than
vicious. He shows the bad manners of a
spoiled child rather than the questionable
impulses Of willful perversity. His weak
ness is loose and lawless tongue rather
than bad heart. His reproach is lack of
common sense more than lack of upright
purpose. He suffers more obloquy than he
really deserves because his truculent and
silly escapades arm his foes and disarm his
friends The result is that eager and ma
levolent criticism magnifies folly into wrong,
while willing defense is halted by his
gaucherie short of the measure of real JUS
tice
We fancy that republican newspapers are
not going to waste much strength in taking
care of functionary who shows no strength
or sense in taking care Of himself. If Mr..
Tanner wants the support which public of
ticer may fairly expect SO long as he moves
in the line of his duty, he must not silence
even friendship by his senseless displays.
He must not add to the issue, whether he is
honest and upright, the further question
whether he has discretion and poise enough
TO hold any place. If he is going on opening
his mouth, and if every time he opens his
mouth he is going to put his foot in it, the
conclusion will be that his footing is quite as
slippery and uncertain as his tongue.

parade.
Headquarters will be established at the
Capital hotel Wednesday morning and re-
main until the close of the parade All
parties wishing to place floats and who have
not already reported are requested to do so,
when they will be assigned to places. This
will save time ana avoid confusion Thursday

and county officers, will review the parade
from the balconies of the Capital hotel.
