Struggle-Volunte HerOicalIy
60 Into Mines to Rescue Their
Fellow Miners.

PRAGUE, June IAN appalling acci.
dent has occurred at the famous Birks,
berg silver mine near Przihram i'll Bohc-
mia. The timbcrs used in supporting
the roof OF the mine caught fire. The
flames spread from one part OF the work
ings to another until the whole of the
mine was mass otfrc.
The escape of the men working in the
mine was cut off.
After long struggle the fire was cX-
tnguished and volunteers went into the
mine to rescue any one who might have
lived through the fire. The galleries
were found to be badly obstructed
with charred timberS and mach difficult v
was found in making progress i'll any
direction from the shaft.
The rescuing party found no trace OF
life. but they discovered fourteen bodies
which were sent to the surface.
The volunteers are still at work in the
mine.
500 men were working in the mine
and all but forty succeeded in making
their escape. Many Of these were seriously
injured. They were brought to the sur
face.

A PETITION.
The Green GIOcers to Ask Il Re
penl From the Aldermen.

A petition is being circulated among
the green grocers of the city, asking the
board of aldermen to repeal the ordi-
nance requiring all who handle country
produce to 81 into the new market
house.
There arc about seventy produce deal
ers in the city, and it is believed that all
will sign the petition. These dealers
take the position that there is not room
for all in the market, and that to force
them to give up the produce trade will
force many of them out of business, as
their profits on their other lines of good:
will not be sufficient to pay rents an6
other expenses.
The petition will be presented to thu
| board on next Friday afternoon.

UNDER A TAMPA LIVE OAK

Concerned.
TAMPA, Fla, June 1.-The democratic
convention meets at 12noon today 1t will
probably be in session for four days and
will be the hottest fight in the political
history of Florida.
Nearly all the delegates were here last
night and caucusing at once began in
earnest. The two greatest contests are
over the gubernational nomination and
the seating of one or the other of two
contesting delegations from Duval
county The victory of one or the other
means the nomination or defeat of Judge
Mitchell for governor. An unexpected
turn was given to affairs last night. AL
lance matters have been very quiet for
year past but last night in caucus of the
alliance delegates numbering over one
hundred, nearly half of them insisted
that the convention indorse the Ocala
demands and the St. Louis platform. and
a hard fight has been precipitated.
If the alliance delegates can agree upon
a policy they can control the convention,
since they hold the balance of power
between the two factions of the party.
This action of the alliance makes the
fight triangular one. Mitchell will
probably go before the convention with
100 votes out of 416, and he is persistent
in asking a nomination only under the
two-thrds rule, but his followers are
divided on that matter.
At l 1 o. clock this morning there was
a rumor that Mitchel's friends vii de-
cline to present his name OH account OF
his personal opposition to The majority
rule.
| The wigwam in which the convention
is to be held is an unique affair. 1t
is IN open air structure on the
Fort Brooke reservation with only a
roof. In the centre of the chairman's S
platform is an immense forked oak
whose branches afford a safe retreat in
case here is too much excitement. The
pillars Of the building are covered with
palmetto and are cntwincd with stream
ers and flags. The wiGwam is 1875 by
100 feet. Outside there is plenty OF room
for the hundreds of "boomcrs," now in

DID HE TRY
TO COMMIT SUICIDE {?

The train which leaves the Ashevile
depot at 3:05 was rounding the bend
Yesterday when a man rushed to the
platform and jumped off. Fills rash
act created great excitement among
the other passengers-they all thoughtit
was a case of suicide. Ladies tainted,
men rushed to the platform expecting to
sec his mangled form upon the track,
but the fact was he had forgotten to put
his bottle of "Buncombe Pills" in his
satchel and would not start on his jour
ney without them. Hetook great chances,
but he might have taken greater.

MERCHANTS III ,ENsE.


The Ogden merchants have combined to
resist the collection of the license tax i'm
posed by the city. The matter has gone
into the courts through the arrest of a
merchant on the charge of doing business
without license. The fight having been
started, 1t is the understanding that it will
be carried TO finish, the highest courts in
the land being called upon to pass judg-
ment on the case. OF course the ending
cannot be foretold although the presump-
tion is tina. the power of the city to levy
and collect the license tax will be con-
irmed. II Is said the decisions are largely
on this side OF the proposition, espec-
tally as TO those cities whose charters
give them the power TO impose a
Incense tax. AT the same time our munich
pal authorities should seriously consider
the propriety Of sbolishing this burden.
The power may exist; it may be legal to
impose the tax, and yet there Is question
OF right and justice involved, as well as
question Of law. The license is mode
source OF revenue, and that being true.
where does the justice come ina Why
should merchant be taxed for doing bust
ness, having FIRST paid tax on his prop
ertya If the fact that he is engaged in
business is burdensome on the community,
If his store puts the public to expense be-
yond what it would If business were not car
ried on, then he should pay the additional
cost, besides his proporuonate property
tax. That would be legitimate and proper.
But it does not appear plain why the
merchant should be fined for doing bust
ness; why be should be punished for being
enterprising and trying TO mako money by
legitimate methods. 1t is undoubtedly true
that all our municipal corporations need
the money which they get from the issu-
ance of merchants licenses. yet that fact
does not justify the getting of the money by
extortion and the exercise Of q power or
authority which enables them to be oppres-
i've. 1t would be better to obtain revenue
by levies which bear more equitably on the
community.
The Ogden case will be watched with In
terest by merchants generally. and by the
public as well; but If the license tax is
wrong N principle. as good many people

The FINE quality of sand in the esoph-
agus of Prof CoRBETT evidently had as
much to do with his triumph as the dynamo
in his muscular works. This with his Bes-
semer back bone and the elliptical steel
springs in the valvulsr and respiratory de-
partments together with his standard
qualities of remaining. enabled the new
champion to Withstand the celebrated
rushes Of JOHN L. with calmness and even
with derisive sneers. One great requisite
in fighting Is not to be scared or bulldozed.
It must have astonished SULLIVAN to Ind
that his antagonist was not in the least
afraid of him, but carried to his task a de-
gree of confidence and composure well cal
culated to transfer the anxiety to the other
corner. The fact that CoRBETr, the win
ner, came out of the combat without a
bruise or scratch, would seem to make the
professions of the big slugger ridiculous.

councils.

Some OF our Republican contemporaries
are repeating the remark by q Leading
Democrat the other day, to the effect that
he hoped the Liberal party would not dis
band until after the election, and trying to
make it appear thai because of this the
Democrats are in some sort Of sympathy
with the Liberals. The opposition press
will be shrewd indeed If it can connect the
Democracy and the Liberal party IN any
manner. Outside of Summit and Salt Lake
counties there is practically no Liberal
party today, and TIE HERALD says frankly
that as regards the organization in this
county we hope it will not disDand before
the closing of the polls on the evening of
Nov. s. We hope this as partisan and in
the interest of the county. This paper sin
cerely believes that with the ticket made
up OF good men which the Democracy will
soon put in the field, the Democrats will
carry the election in this county. We be-
lieve they will do this even if the Liberals
should disband and the great majority of
them affiliate itn the Republicans, as
they certainly will do when the dissolu-
ton takes place. But with three tickets
in the field the Democrats will go into the
fight absolutely confident Of success.
Hence the remark which our esleemed
contemporaries are quoting with so much
satisfaction was rot an idle utterance, but
wise political expression, the words hav-
ing their full meaning.

REPUBLICAN, DEsPERATIoN

If one will examine the apportionment
under which the presidential election will
be held in November, he will understand
the unessiness Of the Republicans over the
apparent strength of the third party. 1t
will be easy enough to comprehend why
the followers Of HARRISON are cosxing so
earnestly to get the Populists back into
line, and telling them that q vote for
WEAVER is vote in the interest of CLEvR-
LAND. 1t is observed that nowhere are the
Democrats worrying over the operations
of the third party people. 1t is not because
the latter are not working just as hard
il Democratic states as in Republican,
but for the reason that the fight of the
Populists is against Republican rule and
methods. The Republicans are anxious,
for the reason that they can afford to lose
no states which have heretofore been
counted as belonging to the party, and the
Democrats are content for the reason that
these states are not needed by them.
There are twenty-nine electoral votes
which are liable to be cast for Mr.. WEAVER,
and all of them have heretofore been
counted in the Republican column. Not
one of the twenty nine has been estimated
in any Democratic computation. Now, the
Republicans cannot lose these votes, al
though the Democrats do not gain them,
without also losing the election. That
is to say, the contest, in the event Of
the Democrats losing New York and
Indiana, would be thrown into the House,
where the Democracy have majority of
the representatives from thirty OF the
forty-four states, thus insurirg the cleo
ton OF Mr.. CLEVELAND. II therefore
stands the HARRISON people in hand to
work quite as hard to keep Kansas Ne
brsska, Colorado, Nevada and Idaho, as 1t
does to retain Iowa, Wisconsin aud Illinois,
for the three last named will not elect if
the others are carried off by WEAVER.
On the other hand the Democrats, if they
were so disposed, could confine themselves
TO states which are certain, including New
York. However, certainty of elect
ing their candidate is not enough
for the Democracy this year. The
party is walking right into the
enemy's territory the manifest intention
being to make the triumph so complete and
overwhelming that Republicanism will be
crushed beyond hope of restoration. Hi
nois, Wisconsin and Iowa are Democratic
fighting ground, and Idaho, Wyoming and
Montana are to be brought into the field
simply because it can be done.

| Premier GLADSTONE makes 1t plain that
the monetary conference which President
HARRISON devised as an excuse for doing
nothing with the silver question until alter
the November election, wiz result in a fiat
J; failure, SO far as the restoration Of silver to
money metal is concerned. The premier Ia
| opposed TO the conference discussing propo-
sitiOns relating to the currency Of Great
Britain, and his opposition is equivalent to
an injunction against an ythlng being doue.

tically demonetized her silver; Italy can do
nothing, leaving only France of the great
powers to join with the United States.
recommend an arrangement for using the
two metals as money on some terms. Thus.
before the meeting we know what the out
come will be, and knowing it very little in
terest will be taken in the proceedings. AS q
matter OF fact few people placed any faith
in the conference doing anything for silver.
More have apprehended injury to the
cause, the fear being of unanimous recon-
mendation to the participating govern
mercial commodity &c be dealt in like other
products Not a few believe Mr.. HARRI-
son expected such recommendation,
which could be used as vindication of his
course IN opposing free coinage; mean
time, the calling of the conference might
tend to pscify the silver faction OF his
party and keep them quiet until the cleo
ton was over.
The HERALD has had little faith in the
conference and has less now since England
has virtually declared her opposition to
any change in her monetary system. AS 1t
is not likely that any good viii result from
the international discussion, 1t might be
well for our own people to take the hint
which Mr.. GLADSTONE drops In effect the
premier says that Great Britain is big
enough to manage this affair for herself.
If Great Britain can with safety de-
eide the silver problem regardless Of the
action of other countries, cannot the
United States determine the matter for
herselfl That is the question which our
fnanciers and our people should discuss
and decide II the decision shall be
against going alone. if the Judgment shall
be that this country is not strong enough
to make silver money metal in spite OF
the great commercial nations, the free
coinage idea might as well.be abandoned
until such time as the foreign powers have
been converted TO the belief that greater
prosperity will follow the restoration of
silver to its place in their monetary sys-
tens.

THERE ARE some persons who think, be-
cause the campaign this year has not devel-
oped the usual amount Of noise and
fustion, that there is a general apathy fore
boding disaster to this or that party. But
it does not follow that the people are indif-
ferent when the regular professional politi-
clans sre inactive. The issues of the
present canvass are not new, but the
voters of the country have been turning
them over in their minds for the last four
yearsio- more. That there is a great I'M
dercurrent of feeling was shown in the
wonderful uprising for GROVER CLEvE-
LAND, which swept away state lines,
favorite sons aud all the ordinary methods
of partisan manipulation, in order to en-
phssize the peoples will as to the issues on
which the battle of '92 was to be fought. 1t
needs no pyrotechnical displays, great pro-
cessions nor big meetings to arouse this
sentiment to action. When the time comes
the solid. silent Judgment OF the people will
be rendered. and it will be giveu in way
that will leave no room for doubt concern
