The mining laws OF the whole United
States are more or less defective with
reference to the safety OF the miner.
Such horrible accidents as occur evcry-
where entailing large loss OF life should
be made impossible. The Krebs Dosage
| Coal Coz Indian Territory horror, in
which the loss Of hundreds OF lives, caus-
ing large number of widows and orphans
to be thrown upon the world destitute OF
the loving care and support OF their
fathers, calls for criminal action against
every owner and manager who were or
should be held responsible for conducting
their mining operations on safe plans.
Human life is held too chcaply by mine
owners who spare expense rather than
make life safe. Every man responsible
for neglect in the matter should at least
be sent to the penitentiGry for life end
the property of the owners should be
contiscated as far es necessary
and devoted to the maintenance Of the
heirs of the murdered and those crippled.
How would it work to compel the pres
ence in the mines at all times Of some OF
the owners, superintendents and mana
gers? Do you think that mine of any
kind would exist under such circum-
stances with only one means Of ingrcse
and egress? Would not fire damp, foul
gases, dangerous roofs, etc, be more
quickly discovered?
The present systems Of mine inspection
are farce. The fret duty Of mine
operators is to make the miners safe in
life and limb and also health as far as
possible.

1t is not in every pugiiistic enc 7unter
that people of all classes become inter-

the contestants. but in the three engage
ments that will take place in the prize
ring at New Orleans next week probably
more widespread interest is taken than
in any other events of similar nature
that have ever taken place. Not alone
is this discussion confined to those who
take an interest in all kinds of sporting
events, but men who usually look upon
the prize ring as something not to be ad-

probable outcome of these encounters.

Cleveland and Pensions.

A Democratic veteran. who happens
also to be a Democratic politician in In
diana, has been to Gray Gables TO see
Mr.. Cleveland regarding his uttcrances
in his lettor OF acceptance concerning
pensions. The dispatches tell us that
this Democratic politician had a long
talk with Mr.. Cleveland, and left Gray
Gables satisfied that the candidate "be-
l.eved in pensioning every soldier that
received scratch in the war" This
will hardly satisfy the boys in blue.
They not only want pensions for the
soldiers who were injured in the line of
duty, but for the deserving widows of
veterans, and men who are now suffer
ing from diseases contracted in the
army. No veteran can forget that Mr..
Clevelsnd, when President, found great
pleasure in writing brutal and in ting
Vo.o messages refus ng to approve
special pension bills applying to vetar-
ans widows. and that he actually made
merry over the case of u man who con-
tracted chronic dysentery in the army.
The Indiana 20 itician ought to go back
10 Gray Gables and have another talk
with Mr.. Cleveland, for he can win no
votes for the Democracy on such an un-
salts factory statement of the candidates
position. The brutal vetoes OF 1885,

Praises OF Columbus Sung on the -Four Hun

Grand Import of His Work to the Chris

The yice-President's speech.


Vicc-President Morton accepted the
Columbian Exposition buildings and
dedicated the great undertaking in fit
ting, well-chosen words. He said:
Mr. President: Deep indeed. must be the sor-
row which prohibits the President of the
United States from being the central figure in
these ceremonials. Realizing from these sump-
tuous surroundings, the extent OF design, the
adequacy of execution and the vastness of re-
suits, we may well imagine how ardently he
has aspired to be officially and personally con-
nected with this great work, so linked to the
past and to the present OF America. With
what eloquent words he would have spoken of
the heroic achievements and radiant future OF
his beloved country. While profoundly
anguished In his most tender earthly affec-
tion, he would not have us delay or falter in
these dedicatory services and we can only oner
to support his courage by profound and uni
versal sympathy.
The attention of our whole country and of
all peoples elsewhere concerned in Industrial
progress is to-day fixed upon the city of Chi
cage. This is due not only to the Columbian
Exposition which marks an epoch, but to the
marvellous growth and energy of the second

which has been experienced by one and
all for the past three months becomes
more and more manifest Democratic
success is not considered probable. but
the possibilities brought about by the
party's radical stand against national
currency has caused a perceptihle un-
easiness on all sides. The particular
paragraph in the Democratic platform
which is causing the alarm reads a.
follows
SEC. 4. We recommend that the prohibitory
10 per cent. tax on State bank issues be re-
pealed.
The tax referred to was laid by the
Republican Congress OF 1S55-66 and was
intended To stamp out the State bank
the country only n few yea before.
The elimination of the State bank evil
came with the dreadful panic OF 1857,
and this tax imposed by Congr IS was
placed at such high figure rs 10 make
it practically prohibitory. The object
was TO wipe out the State bank notes
and wildcat currency which had cause /
the panic. 1t did not fail OF its purpose.
The State banks had to suspend further
issue of notes and the country was soon
Invested of their almost worthless pa
per. The Demo cracy in recommending
the repeal OF the tax virtually indorses
the State bank evil and declares for the
restoration Of the very system which
the tax destroyed. The calamity party
is committed in favor of State banks
and against national currency. The
