SUPREME COURT VACANCY.

pointment gain Current

Report of Attorney General RIiIler's Ap-
pointment Again Current
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The report is
again current that Attorney General
Miller will be nominated to the supreme
court, and that Solicitor General Taft
will be made attorney general.
No credence is given to the story that
there has been doubt of confirmation
in case Mr.. Miller was nominated. He
stands very high with all public men
here, including the justices of the court.
The chief difficulty in the way OF his
selection has long been supposed to I've
the presidents reluctance to make any
change in his cabinet. Mr.. Miller's
service as attorney general has been so
satisfactory to all interested that the
presidents feeling regarding a change
can be easily understood But the i'm
preston which Judge Taft has made as
solicitor general suggests his succession
to everybody, and it would be well
received.

WASHINGTON, Dec 12. Henry Wal

The night the boat left Baltimore
Wallace refused to perform some
menial labor and the captain of the ves-

down and kicked him in the face until
he tainted In "culling" oysters Wal
lace's hands were frightfully lacerated

Mines Not Serious.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 12. - The
trouble at Blue Creek coal mines was
not serious, and the fifty officers who
rushed down there ON special train
found little to do. Three members of
the committee of the Mine Workers
union had gone to Blue creek to address
the strikers and urge them not to re-
turn to work. The men refused to
leave when ordered to do 80 by the
company's officers, and this seems to
have frightened the officers into be-

men, who had been making speeches to
the strikers, were arrested and brought
to this city. They were placed under
bonds on the charge of trespass and en-
ticing laborers. All was quiet at the

OFFICIAL RESPONSIBILITY.

There IL one question constantly coming
up and never receiving fitting treatment.
1t is the question Of imrulability in dis
asters. The moral culpabiIity Of tho per
son. or body, to whom the disaster should
be ascribed, il debated on. Everything
points TO the criminal neglect of this or
that particular person rs the cause of the
casualty, and then, through n sort of
what has been done = cant be -helped"
feeling. the strict justice of the case is
shirked and the real criminal is let out.
This is pnlpnbly.wrong, md it is true
that .his evil should be remedied. In the
Coroner's inquest over the shocking
Dunbar mine disaster the owners. inspec-
tors. or mine boss were evidently i'll fault.
Namely. had they done what they ought
TO have done, the disaster which led to
the horrible death of thirly-one poor
miners would have been averted.
The logic of the case is memorable. TIE
responsibility of certain utliciRl positions
demands the ~yigilant exercise OF ordinary
prudence. Was ordinary prudence exer-
cised at Dunbar when Inspector KEIGrLEY
told q body of miners who complained OF
the dangerous condition of the nine that
he would close it if his personal exanina-
tion should verify their statement, and
Lis admission after investigation that it
was worse than they hal stated, and yet
the mine wal not closed?
There seems to be but one answer to
this question. The conclusion is that this
sort Of thing is a farce and an outrage on
justice and right.
