MENTAL FAILURE.


The explosion Of Tuesday is ascribed TO
carelessness. All other explosions at the
DUPONT mills which have been accounted
for at all have been laid to carelessness.
1t seems passing belief that a man
should be careless In powder mill but
the evidence seems to make 1t certain
that the careless handling Of soldering
implements by William r. Green caused
the explosion Of Tuesday.
Green was forty years old aud wa g a
man thoroughly trustworthy, because o {
his character and experience. He had
been put to work in the soldering depart.
ment because he possessed those qualities,
which fitted him to an eminent degree
for constant and unremitting care. In
that which he was chosen for strength
he was weak. In moment Of thought
lessness, in moment Of mental absrra-
ton, in a moment, perhaps Of uncons-
ciousness, or In one OF those curious
lapses In which the mind fails TO main
tain Its control over the body, he let a
spark fall which sent him and his fellow
workmen suddenly and violently into
eternity.
There Is nobody to blame. Greer
could not have been purposely careless
and 1t is impossible to conceive that h,
could have neglected the duties which
placed such astounding responsibilities
Of life and property on him.
It is one Of the weaknesses OF th
human mind to give way at critics
moments. A railway dispatcher some
times sends two trains crashing int
each other; an engineer sometimes allow
the boiler to be dry and burs
and bridge tender sometimes fai
TO warn an approaching train of an ope
draw The only safety from such sccl
dents is in using every possible mechan
eel contrlvance to lessen the element q
human responsibility and decrease thl
dreaded mind failure, mental lapse an
! unintentional, though. fatal carelessnes
In this case the DuPonts should seps
rate the soldering room from all con
1 tact, even the most remote, with Il
! mills and, If possible. use chemicals on
for sealing the powder canisters.

THE Democrats Of Sussex county are

people feel deeply incensed at the charges
Of general dishonesty and promiscuous
stealing which have been brought
against the levy courtmen and all the
overseers and employees of the county and
of the court by the managers of the Re

full, more economical set of men never
lived, and yet the.sweeping charges Of
stealing and dishonesty, involving
thousands of the good people
of Sussex and the ir friends and neigh.
bors, has been recklessly made and
brutally pressed by the Republicans.
Senator Higgins has repeated those in
definite and sweeping charges here. 1t
is easy to meet and repel a defnite
charge that is false, but it is impossible
to meet or evada the effects OF a mali.

is the sort Of politics which Higginsism
Bach and the Bacons have introduced
