Gov. Pliers Nerve

By calling special election in this, the
Twenty-first senatorial district OF Illinois,
Gov. Fifer has displayed partisan spirit
and an off1ciousness deserving of the
severest criticism. Whether competent
or not to judge of an actual vacancy in
the quota OF members from this district,
he was clearly unjustified in exercising
the rights inherent only in the Legislature.
Even had Mr.. Collins election been I'M
questioned and admittedly legal, he could
not have resigned. simply because he held
no Office. None of the candidates voted
!, & at the last election are vet members Of
sits legislature. This district is still rspre.
9Htiao' by Messrs. Hurst, Crawford and
Fisher, hnd their terms do not expire un-
til January LIST. 1891. How, then, could
he resign until he had something tangible
TO resign7
Again Collins was confessedly ineligible,
which fact. together with the illegality Of
the ballots In his special case, was the
cause OF the abortive action. in the con-
summation OF which he and Gov. Fifer
are equal abettors. Here is where the
governor played the part of petty con-
spirator and assumed grovelling atti-
iude. Instead of refusing to be party
to the plot to defeat the will OF the people,
he essayed The vote of chief conspirator
In order to carry out the little scheme 1t
was necessary for the governor to order
Collins certificate to be issued to him at
once. while within few days ago no
other member-elect in the whole state
had received his cledential OF election.
How Is this for partisanship pure and
simpler Gov Fifer has proved himself
pretty good republican in this instance.
for 1t Is not every man who would so
stul'ify himself in order to gain a poll

WASHINGTON CRY. Dec 27.-The fourth
annual meeting of the American Eco
nomic association was opened yesterday
afternoon at the Columbian university.
At the evening session Gen Francis A.
Walker, president OF the association, de-
livered the annual address It was de-
voted to survey Of the most important
economic developments occurring within
the United States during the last two
years. The extraordinary growth Of
pseudo-socialism under the name Of ma
tionalism he attributed to the fact that
the masses Of the people. alike among the
more fortunate and the less fortunate
classes, have come to appreciate the supreme
Importance OF industrial relations; but
have not yet learned by a careful study of
history and Of the material conditions Of
human existence within what narrow linn
its exertions for the amelioration Of man
kind must necessarily be comprised
The single Tax Theory.
All these reformers now so defiant OF es-
tablished economic principles, will sooner
or later become recruits of the economic
army. Meanwhile it is an immense gain
to have the whole nation at school in polit-
ical economy. Regarding the apparent
growth of the single tax party the speaker
expressed the opinion that economists
were coming to take the view that some
thing more of economicrent than the state
has been accustomed to take could ad-
vantageously be brought into the treasury.
On the other hand, closer study of the sub
ject only brought greater conviction to
/ practical politicians Of the utter hopeless
ness of the project in the face of the exist
ing conditions
The Question Of Immigration.
Gen. Walker had this to say on the
matter of immigration: Not only the
enormous increase of immigration, but
the manifestly lower character Of the
recent corners, especially those from
eastern Europe, make the question one of
urgency. Our first duty is to ourselves
and our own descendants, our next duty is
to help as far as we can in raising the
condition of the oppressed masses in
Europe. We are not necessarily to do
this by receiving their overflow indiscrim-
inately, but most Of all by making this
experiment of a free commonwealth of
educated labor the greatest possible sue
cess. II the continued admission of de-
graded peasants from the old world would
interfere with this great work, we are
called upon, not less rs philanthropists
than as patriots, to put a stop to it. I"
4 A Coufrarfiup MAuDx Su..lw
Gen. Walker spoke OF the present finan-
cial crisis as the result of the fast-tighten-
ing folds Of contracting money supply.
In the lack Of natural leadership we can
only hope that prudence will rule the
hour, aud that the instructive conservatism
OF the American people may enable them
to pass through this, perhaps the most
perilous crisis in their financial history,
without a wreck

senstors-elect are guilty of various lapses
IN the election law. which invalidates
their seats. OF course the charees are
all trumped up for effect, and no one
seriously thinks there is any ground for

object of Long" Jones and his commits
tee is undoubtedly 10 brow,beat and
thwari the democratic msjority In the

justice belongs to it-a United States
senator. BY contesting a few seats in
the senate, the republicans hope to com
pei the democrats to admit ineligible and
Illegally elected republicans in the house,
In other words they propose to resort 10
any method, no matter how dispicable or
corrupt to re-elect Millionaire Farwell to
the United States senate.
The democrats should be In no wise
disconnected by this coup d'e.at of
Long JONES'" Every contest now in
augurated should be pushed to q success
ful issue. Collins. of this district, has
deliberately admitted his ineligibility.
and Gov. Fifer has lowered the dignity
OF his office and usurped his func~
nonai powers by calling needless and
irregular election. John A. Wilson. the
minority democratic candidate, received
ne third highest number of legally cast
ballots, and is clearly entitled 70 a seat
mccrone. the ineligible republican from
Quincy, should also be deposed without
ceremony. This action would be serving
notice on Jones, Farwell and other 70
publican ringsters that the Illinois dem>
ocrats cannot be intimidated nor bull

John n. Palmer to re United etase.

SIXTEEN MULES cREMATeD.
A Coal Pit Fire That Created an Awfu
Fear for Awhile.


Fear for Awhile.
PITTBURG, Dec. 27-Fire in the mine of
the United Works Coke company yester-
day cremated sixteen mules, and for a
time turned the vicinity of the shaft into
a pandemonium of wailing and shrieking
women and children, who thought that
their relatives were meeting the fate of
the mules. As it turned out, however
the damage was all to the property of the
company, and no lives were lost. The fire
was caused by Stableman John Skrogs'
lamp setting fire to barrel of oil, which
exploded The burning oil scattered all
about the underground stable. Skrogs
battled with the flames, but without eff
feet, and barely gained the top of the
shaft when the flames followed him. set
ting fire to everything of an infiammable
nature
A Terrible Apprehension Relieved
There were 100 men at work in the burn
ing mine. At the first alarm the entire
population Of the village rushed to the
burning shaft and babel of shriekine
voices filed the air. Half an hour later a
hopeful cheer came from the door of an
air shaft short distance away that
changed the wailings of the almost frantic
people into shouts Of joy as they saw their
friends crawling out of the little hole in
the ground to place of safety All of the
miners were saved. Mine Master William
West had discovered the flames and given
timely warning to the workingmen who
were scattered over a radius nearly a mile
in extent.
One Man Nearly Killed by Gas.
Mine Master West, assuring himself
that all his men were safe, with dozen
followers re-eDtered the mine and erected
brattice, preventing the flames from
spreading in the heading. Charles Bowder,
the company's master mechanic, ventured
beyong the fire limit and was overcome by
the gas. West dashed through the flames,
dragging Bowder back to place of safety
and resuscitated him. The company's
loss will reach $4,000 and months will
elapse before the works can be operated
again.

back slightly, and her hair touched the

and the screw had firm hold, and in
another moment the woman was standing
on the floor scalped. Her soft, thick,
black hair which she wore in great coil
had been torn of entire, with the skin and
