Carter Harrison, who is now an able
Chicago editor, seems to have objections
to Col. William r Morrison. AS it is
well known that Editor Harrison is not .
self seeker. that he edits wholly for the
public good. and that he does not use his
estimabie paper for the settlement of
musty old scores on his personal account.
1t is pertinent to ask him to state the
grounds of his objection 10 Colonel Mor>
rison.
Ia southern Illinois, and in the United
States generally, great deal is known
10 Col. Morrison's advantage. He is q
sialwart democrat, who has never been
anything but democrat. In lis defeats
and its successes he has stood by the
democratic party, and he has never
eiunted odds against its principles. II

THE Louisville Courier Journal is con-
WINGED that Mr. Blaine's highest ambition
will never be realized. 1t says:
Mr.. Blaine will never be president.
More than any other living statesman
he resembles Clay; tie mantle Of Clay
seems indeed to have fallen upon him.
and it carried with it the doom that pur-
sued Clay throughout his career. If Mr..
Blaine is ever nominated again be will be
beaten. If he is ever nominated, and
has any show Of election, he will die be-
fore the day of election II he is ever
elected. he will die between the day of
election and the day of Inauguration.
There is reason to believe that he under
stands this. and that when the time
COM he will refuse to allow his nsme
to 90 before the convention, leaving Mr.
Harrison IN sole possession Of the field.

forlorn hope of western democracy, and
it due to him as much as to any other
one man that democracy in the west Is no
longer q forlorn hope.
His honesty. his courage, his devotion
to democratic principles are alike unim-
De schable. II his Leadership has not
been fraught with advantages to him
personally. il has been to the democratic
party, which has so profited by the
growth OF western democratic sentiment,
promoted by its efforts, that it is now in
q position to dislodge the republican
party permanently from control OF the
lea ding states of the west.
SO closely is the work done By Colonel
Morrison identified with democratic sue
cess in the past and with the prospect OF
success in the future that attacks made
on him by those who claim To be demo-
Gratis excite surprise and indignation
among those who are really so On what
ground of democracy can Editor Harri-
son justify such attacks?

MS WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN
To a Number OF People Whom He
Left in the Soup


When a party disappears now days,
one cannot tell whittier or not he has
! gone a glimmering with the intent of
hea ring those who had confided In him, to
| the amount that their confidence would
guarantee, or whether he has silently
| folded his tent in such suspicious man
ner that the unsophisticated newspaper
man may be induced to make an unguard-
ed remark about the disappearance, that
he might turn up like Banker Mings, OF
North Texas fame, and place the paper
at the mercy of the Texas libel law. For
this reason we will not attempt to account
for the disappearance of Mr.. s. 5. Will
lard, m anager of the Southern Medicine
Co.. but suffice it to say that the manager
of the concern has left; his whereabouts
are unknown to few newspapers whom
he owes for printers ink; they are un-
known to the hotel man whom he owes
for quite lot of board; they are also I'M
known to some of the performers OF his
company which he organized in this city
by taking up men of the various local
variety shows, which men he left in the
soup; they are also unknown to the band
of Trevino's Mexican show, who would
like to see him; they are also unknown to
the proprietOrS of Convention hall where
he gave the first performances; in fact his
whereabouts are also unknown to num-
Der of other good people who are anxious
ly seeking for light on the subject.

of Secretary Proctor, said to the writer

lieve that the Indian has not been treated

mean that the Indians can be made good,
for | am not ready to believe that. / am
talking about the Indians as II whole

who was discourteous. Several times |

mo, p said the engineer, 1.-THE rules Of tho
road expressly forbid it," Then the tramp
wanted to get aboard the baggage car, hut
Mr. Potter was not at liberty to permit him
TO do so. lie sh'sercd and went away. Then
the locomotive bell changed, the passengers
(who had aliglted and gone into the depot
restaurant orsupper) hurriedly got aboard,
and the train moved OF, quickening its
speed rapidly It was a still night with
the mercury almost at zero, and the moon
was very bright. The engineer let his steel
horse go at the rate OF more than fifty miles
an hour, and, though all the cab windows
were tightly shut, so cold was the air that
rushed into the engine that even the en-
gineer and fireman felt chilly.
As Putnam was passed the fireman fan
cied he heard an unusual sound above the
roaring of flying wheels, and he hastily
drew aside one sash in a cab window He
glanced along the curved side of the great
boiler and instantly uttered cry of aston
ishment. He saw the wretched tramp,
who had begged for "A ride at Willimantic,
clinging like fly TO the front of the en-
gine, and whose face, now turned toward
the fireman. was white with hopeless ter
ror, He was shaking like a leaf with the
trembling of the locomotive his clothes
huttering in the hurricane like rush of the
engine, and it was evident to the fireman,
at his first glance that the poor fellow
could retain his grip on the engine onlya
few moments longer
The cry of the fireman brought Engineer
Potter also to the side of the cab in an in
slant, and even as the two men stared at
the wretch, tossing on the cowcatcher, the
latter made a desperate effort to climb
higher upon the pilot to the hot engine
front. In doing so he grasped live steam
pipe. The pipe was blistering hot, but the
tramp dared not let 60 for he would have
fallen to the roadbed or been ground under
the great driving wheels Still he uttered
no cry, though the look of agony in his face
told what he suffered.
The train was still laundering on at fifty
miles an hour, and the engineer dare not
apply the brakes, for he knew the sudden
jar and jolt that would result from that
act would fling the wretch under the
wheels. There was only one way in which
the man could be saved and Engineer Pot
ter saw it at once So he went out on the
locomotive, the fireman following him,
crawed along its side, and yelled to the
man to hold up his hand. The engineer
then fairly pulled the tramp, with the aid
of the fireman, into the cab. The man fell
on the floor of the cab completely exhaust
ed. He received kind treatment during
the rest of the ride to Boston, in which city
he was provided with food and lodging and
medical attendance.-Cor. New York Sun.

he had taken 800 marks ont of the safe be-

In the mean time he asked his late en-

his wife was innocent. The merchant
made inquiries, and heard nothing but
what was favorable as to the character of
the woman, whom he found in utter de-

one he had received. He gave her a check
for 1000 marks, saying that he would as

MINE HORROR.

About Two Hundred Men On tho aglne ne
the Time Of tho Eaplosion--A Number
Of Bodies Removed.
PTTsBURG, Jan. n. "A special dis
patch from Mt. Pleasant, Pa, 2:3O p. H.,
to The Chronicle Telegraph has just
reached here that terrible explosion
occurred in the shaft Of the mine at
the II. G. Frick Mammoth works. It is
very difficult to get much in the way Of
details although the accident occurred
at 8 o'clock this morning.
The Mammoth works are on the Sewick-
~ branch of the Southwest branch rail-
road, and are about half way between
Latrobe and this place. The Telegraph
and telephone wires are in trouble, and
even the Frick employees are almost en-
tirely without definite information At
the time of the accident there were
about 200 men at work in the shaft,
which is not very deep.
There was a sudden explosion of gas
at the point where the men were at
work, and from present indications it
looks as though a large number had
been killed At $3.50 o'clock word was
received that eighteen bodies had bee
taken from the mine.
The machinery which runs the fan
was not damaged, and plenty Of fresh
air is being forced into the mine to sus-
tain the living and to allow rescuin
parties to enter in safety and bring out
the bodies. The mine was badly wreclie
in places and it is not possible to get an
accurate idea Of the number Of living or
injured who may be buried or impris
oned.
There is no fire in tho mine resulting
from the explosion, 80 there will be def
mite news i'll a short time. 1t is said that
most of the killed are either English
speaking or German miners
The shatt is about lOO feet deep anu
has a number Of galleries.
Superintendent Heighly, who was the
inspector in charge at the Dunbar mine
after its accident, has charge Of these
works He has organized relief parties
and is engaged in trying topenetrate the
entries
