OF Mrs. BurtOn's second interview
with the smooth Mr.. Boutwell, it is I'M
necessary 20 speak at length. II was
uncomfortable for him, but he kept his
wits about him and did not lower his
flag, and Mrs. Burton went away with a
white, drawn face-and with the set
lips Of a brave little woman who has
made up her mind 20 something.
The day for the convention dawned.
The visitors from the outside precincts.
including those from Chloride, were all
ON hand TO see the fun. II was almost
time 10 call the convention 30 order, but
two or three delegations had not arrived.
The Chloride delegation was one Of
these. The visitors from that camp re-
ported that the delegation had only
stopped TO hold brief powwow In
Chairman BoutwelI's Office and would
be along soon. Jere Hobart, as luck
would have it, had got a glorious
Jag on the night before, and was In
bed at his quarters at Chloride as the
result Of q fall into the cellar Of the
Nugget saloon. He might have pulled
himself together and gone over 20

there was no need, he concluded. Sobe

M'KINLEY'S ideas.

The inaugural of Governor Mckinley,
who was installed at Columbus yesterday,
deals largely with State affairs; but in
many respects his recommendations touch
upon questions of national interest. 1t is
especially interesting as showing the views
of statesman whose reputation has been
made by his leadership on a single topic,
when he gives his attention to subjects
outside of his speciality.
The support of both State and national
appropriation for the Worlds Fair is the
first example of this sort, and 1t is followed
by recommendations for the improvement
of country roads and for the protection of
railway employes-both live topics all over
the country. A further recommendation
as to ballot reform is made, and the new
Governor lays down an unexceptionable
principle on the subject of Congressional
apportionment, namely: "The districts
should be made so as to give the party ma
jority in the State majority of representa-
tives and so arranged that if the party
majority shall change the representative
majority shall also change" Let us hope
that the Ohio Legislature will observe the
last named principle in correcting the
Democratic gerrymander; but it requires
considerable faith to do so.
Governor Mckinley also takes up ma
tional question in the discussion of the
canal policy of the State. In Ohio the
process of killing off the canals by trans
ferring them to private control has for
some unexplained reason not reached the
complete success attained in Pennsylvania
almost generation ago. Perhaps it is
because it has gone far enough to render
the canals nearly useless and the railroads
have not until recently wanted any more.
But with regard to recent propositions to
absorb the remaining canal property, the
Governor points out the importance of
waterways for inland transportation, and
declares that ''it is time to call halt to
the policy of disposing of the peoples
property without adequate compensation.
This looks like rather weak conclusion,
as the logical deduction from the premises
would be that it is time to revive and i'm
prove the canals. But as it represents
marked Improvement on the prevailing
policy with reference to canals, it merits
enthusiastic approval for going as far as it
does.

Indian Territory was plainly due to the
grossest carelessness; and it is safe to ven-
ture prediction that the case at Sha-
mokin will, when investigated, show a
similar neglect of some obvious and we'll
established precaution.
1t thus appears that the greatest diff
Guilty to be overcome is not the dangers of
mining, but the carelessness and indiffer-
ence of those engaged in it. Stephenson
and Davy invented the safety lamp sixty
years ago, and yet to-day men are imperil-
ing their lives by mining with naked
lamps, and to that recklessness some OF
Il 2 notable slaughters of the past few
years have been clearly due. 1t is plain
that if any power exists to make miners
and operators alike careful to use every
known precaution, the total of this loss
of life would be greatly diminished. But
when neither humanity, legislation, profit,
nor the love of life can prevent the care
lessness which produces these disasters, it
is puzzling question what motive is left
to which an appeal can be addressed.

MINING SLACGHTERS.

Two coal mine disasters during last
week-one in the West, the most whole
sale in its loss of life for many years, and
the other at Shamokin, this State, very
serious but not so commanding in its ap-
palling features-give new force to the
principle so often urged in these columns
that no constancy of vigilance or thorough
ness of precaution can be too great to give
to the work Of preventing loss of life in
this industry.
These fatalities have evoked from CO.
temporary an intimatiOn that all the safe
guards that can be devised seem to be use
less. Doubtless none can secure perfect
safety, and were all of the known pre-

calling. Nevertheless, it is a fact that
ninety per cent of the lives lost in coal
mines during the past twenty years have
been sacrificed by the neglect of we'll
known and self-evident precautions. There
is no reason to regard the calamities of
last week as exceptions TO the general
rule. The slauohter at the mines in the

LOOKS LIKE ENFORCEMENT

It is exceedingly gratifying to learn that
one representative OF the Department of
Justice has found prominent trust, OF
large capital and national scope, which he
hopes to prove guilty of a violation of the
antitrust act of Congress. The disposi-
ton of United States District Attorneys
with regard to the circular of Attorney
General Miller, issued last year, has been
either to ignore it entirely, as was done in
this district, or to carefully pick out some
combination of petty character and local
scope. But the United States District At
torney at Chicago is going to prove him.
self a man of entirely other metal by
selecting is the object of his legal atten-
tion the Whisky Trust.
The Whisky Trust, or, as it is more for
mally named in its last articles of associa-
ton, the Western Distilling and Cattle
Feeding Company, is combination of as
wide national reputation and of as radical
character in illustrating the monopolistic
methods as the Standard Oil Company or
the Sugar Trust 1t has more complete
monopoly than either, the last independ-
ent. distillery in the production of COM
mercial high wines having been brought
into the combination after some prelimi-
nary tuition in the line of attempts to blow
it up. Its capital-even without the water,
which Is more plentiful there than in its
products counted by tens of millions.
Thus We see that United States Attorney
Milchrist, of Chicago, has selected an OBJ
ject worthy of his legal steel, and the
gratifying fact is demonstrated that one
appointee of the Department Of Justice
believes in carrying out his instructions
and the laws of the United States.
But while the crushing of the Whisky
Trust will be an achievement to make the
record of any United States District At
torrey, that outcome is not yet by any
means assured. 1t still remains to be
demonstrated whether the laws of the
United States can bring the hitherto un-
conquered power of concentrated capital
into subsection.

SUNDAY NEWSPAPERS

An organization called "The Law and

denouncing the Sunday newspapers until a

they devote their time, talents, energies and

CHANDLER's REFORM.

Senator Chandler has pushed his politi-
cal quarrel with the Boston and Maine
Railroad to the degree of introducing a
bill in the Senate for the purpose of break
ing up the entire system of railway free
passes. His bill is the most stringent ever
proposed On the subject, making all free
transportation unjust discrimination within
the meaning of the interstate commerce
act
1t is rare that partisan fights produce so
| unobjectlonable measures of revenge as
this. Senator Chandler is convinced that
ms enemies in the Boston and Maine
management are using free passes over
that road to his political disadvantage,
and proposes to adopt this means of pun
ishing them. Yet the measure of revenge
gives no ground for criticism except that
1t attacks really minor corporate abuse
If Senator Chandler's anti-corporation
zeal could be worked up to attack the
great corporate evil of multiplying any
legislation that does not suit the corporate
interests there is reason to nope that he
might make things very lively for the
corporations before he was done with
them.
But Senator Chandler's reading of the
character of legislators is radically differ
ent from ours if he has any idea that there
is the slightest chance of getting bis bill
passed by Congress the members of
which would thereby cut off their own
privileges Of free transportation. The
Senator's knowledge of such things is
greater than ours; but nevertheless we
will venture a prophecy that it will be
effectively shelved. The only chance of
its passage is in its being taken as a bluff
between the two branches.
Senator Chandler, however, is to be
welcomed in the character of an anti
corporation rnfrrmnr. It is to he hoped
