legislative body. 1t exists to make laws for
the people. Interminable debate is incom-
pati5le with the performance of this, its
chief function, and the time had arrived
when, unless this function was to be ig-
nored, some limit must be fixed to debate.
Luckily at the crisis there was in the chair
of speaker a man who had convictions and
the courage to enforce them. The result
has been that the House of Representatives
has accomplished more this session than has
ordinarily been accomplished in both ses-
sions. 1t has passed tariff bill, and has
successfully dealt with the great questions
OF silver coiuage, pensions and the enact
ment of laws to protect the right of every
American citizen to vote for the candidate
of his choice for Representative in Congress.
II has attempted nothing in which it has
failed. Under the magnificent leadership
of the Speaker and the chairman of the
committee of ways and means it has beaten
the Democratic obstructionists at every
point, and performed its constitutional part
in the enactment of legislation demanded ny
the country for many years past. 1t remains
for the Senate to complete the workso aus
piciously begun in the House. Win the
Senate be equal to the task? The country
will await with Impotence the answer.

The heroism of the men who have been
working day and night to rescue the impris-
oned miners at Dunbar, Penn, has come to
naught at last. The exploring party has
gone into the burning mine and examined
every place which they could reach and
where men were known to work. Two tin
dinrerpails were found with the dinners un-
touched and but little of the tea drank, and
two coats were picked up. The picks and
shovels were all lying just as man would
drop them as he started off on run for his
life, and one mule vas found dead Other
wise no trace OF the nien could be found.
All beyond where they went was roaring
flame and there is no possibility that any OF
the men are alive, or untouched by fire al
though dead. Upon their return and report
to the superintendent the fruitlessness of
further work was acknowledged and the
brave men were told to stop work. The ext
gencies of modern civilization are said to de-
mand these occasional sacrifices of life but
1t seems as though there were something
wrong with civilization that demands what
it cannot make safe, with reasonable care.
1t is not so much this particular disaster that
gives rise to this reflection, since we are
told that it was caused by a naked light BE-
ing carried into the the mine full of choke
damp, as the generality of mine accidents.
There should be stringent regulations
that should be absolutely carried out
at all times. Then whatever accidents
did occur could be set down as from
cause beyond human control and no man
need bear the terrible burden about with
him for the rest of his life

"This is the saddest day have ever seen since

Every citizen Of Portland regrets both for
the sake of the visitors and secondarlly on
his own account that yesterday was partially
stormy, and wholly cloudy. To be sure the
larger part of the exercises of the day took
place indoors; but it is not pleasant to
travel to and from the corps meeting places
In the rain. There were some of the men,
bers Of the Army of the Potomac who de-
sired to join the excursion of the Thirty
Second Maine to Long Island who were un-
willing to risk getting wet. Our own citi.
zens who take pride in their city feel that
full justice cannot be done it unless the SIM
shines on the buildings and decorations
that have been prepared. There is much
natural beauty to the town, but it
takes blue skies and sunshine to
make it most telling. Aside from these
facts, the rain and dampness of yesterday
were not calamities. The rain wet down the
streets much more effectively than any
water carts could. and served to clear the air
OF fog and haze. If we have no heavy rain
today, and the weather bureau promises us
nothing more alarming than showers, the
city will look all the better for the rain of
yesterday. Weather is an unknown guam
tity to deal with; but putting trust in the
testimony of an aged citizen, who says that
for ifty-six consecutive years the Fourth of
July. save for showers has been clear, let us
do what We can to make our visitors forget
the rain of yesterday in the interest of to-
day.
