NEWARK. July 2a-All OF the timepeces in

ting gun cotton in acetate OF amyl
The buildings were all numbered. and un-
lucky thirteen was the house In which the
guncotton or nitro cellulose was dried. This
building went UP into the air sudden
ly. and demolished tho adjoining labra-
tory and an unoccupied building an
close contact with It. The explosion was folt
and heard for a distance OF ten miles in every
direction. and pieces OF the wreck ed buildings
were scattered all over Essex and Union coun-
ties Windows in buildings miles from the
place were shattered. and crocker WIS broken

the compRny's yard at tho time Of the explo-
sion. Engineer Ford. Waterman Miller. and
n colored man named Aaron Garner were sit
ting near the engine rooms. 200 yards from
the drX house.
They had grand view OF the explosion. It
seemed to go upward only. they said. and they
were struck only by falling pieces OF wood and
escaped serious injury.
:, The structures were cheap affairs, built Of
Light frame and covered with galvanized iron.
The total loss will not DO more than $1,000

There are enough Democrats in Texas
who do not care baubee for the
personality of either Gov. Hogg or
Judge Clark to enforce the demand
that the machinery of Democracy
must not be tampered with for the
benefit of either.-Ft. Worth Gazette.

case in point, Judge Clark has a
clear ma jority of the votes, but an at
tempt is being made TO fish up an eX'
cuse for bolt in order to throw
Harris in the contested column IN the
state convention. Indeed, so de-
liberate is the movement that the
Hogg bureau at Austin has al
ready, in advance of the county con.
ventlop, placed Harris in the contested
column. 1t seems to be the pro-
gramme to have general system of
bolts and contests all over the state,
and in addition to this Senator Horace
Chiffon and Hon. Tom Brown, two of
Hogg's chief lieutenants, are reported
to be urging the adoption of the ma
jority rule in the Houston convention.
As the Gazette suggests, these people
are treading on dangerous ground.
They may go too far with this political
Imperialism and reach the point where
the great masses of the people, always
conservative, will revolt. We have
presidents in the great states of
Pennsylvania, New York and other
places where intolerant bossism met
with just rebuke; it is not beyond the
range of the possibilities that we
may witness the same thing in Texas.

When a duly accredited Democrat
finds himself politically and personally
outraged it is not only his right to
withdraw from convention wherein he
is allowed no part; it is his duty. The
Americans who left convention hall
met again with all seemliness, delibe-
rated upon the questions before them

lie will sustain them. Texas at large
will sustain them. Looking at the
facts of the case as presented in the

is good that brethren should dwell
together in unity. But no brother,
however peaceably inclined, will stand
passive while his throat is cut from
