THE HORROR IN BELGIUM.
TIE ToraI Death Roll 215-Women in the
Coal Mines.

Coal Mines.
BRUSSELS, March 1.-THE men at work
in the Anderleus colliery are at work at
the risk of their lives, tine mine being in
flames. But the total list of dead has been
made up, and it is 2l5 OF these it is esti-
mated that 40 were scorched to death by
the flame resulting from tie explosion.
The government has taken prompt action
to relieve so far as possible the suffering
entailed by the sudden and appalling ca
tastrophe. The misister of public works
has ordered the distribution of relief, and
the work is now being carried on.
Will Have One Good Effect.
The awful calamity in Belgium has
called general attention to the subject Of
female labor in the coal mines of that
country. The employers prefer women as
miners because they are more docile and
work for somewhat lower wages than the
men. The women receive one franc and a
half for twelve hours work in some of the
Belgian collieries. They are mostly mid.
dle-aged women. but females are found in
the coal lit as young as II and as Old as
60 years of age. Some of the married
women have been known to take their
babies strapped to their backs down into
ihe pit and lay the little ones near them
while they are engaged in digging coal
Universal Suffrage Remedy.
This is one of the evils that Belgian
workingmen want to see reformed. They
claim thai, if they had universal suffrage,
the Belg an parliament would not be
merely representative of the upper and
middle classes, but would legislate also
for the benefit of the toilers, who are now
little better than serfs. 1t is said that
some collirry owners refuse to employ n
miner in Belgium unless he is able to
bring one or more members of his family
into the d with him.

England and Free Trade.

Premier Salisbury says that Eng
land must recede from free-trade if
she would prosper. In speech de-
livered last week he said Fifty
years ago everybody believed that
free-trade had conquered the world
and prophesied that every nation
would follow the example of England.
The results, however, are not what
had been expected. Despite the pro
phesies Of the free trade advocates,
foreign nations are adopting protec-
ton. They are excluding us from
their markets and are trying to kill
our trade. And this state of things
appears to grow worse. We live in
an age of war tariffs. Another i'm
portant point is that while nations
are negotiating to obtain each Others
commercial favor, none is anxious
about the favor of Great Britain, be-
cause Great Britain has stripped her
self of the armour and weapons
with which the battle is to be
fought"

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 19.-Sen

severe scoring in discussing alleged
party economy. Senator Villas was
handled particularly roughly. Mr..
Germans allusion to the record
which the Wisconsin Senator made
for parsimony while at the head of
the post-office department was ap-
preciated by those who knew the cir
cumstances. Villas was so anxious
to appear as a reformer, German
said, that he instituted great many
alleged reforms, with the only result
of Gripping the post office service and
creating deficiencies which still have
to be met, The courts have been
steadily overturning his rulings, and
a great many judgments for the
railroads are piled up against the
government, all incurred because of
Villas policy. 1t will be several years
before the government gets through
paying these judgments.

WHEN anything indecent, anything
in perfect consonance with the scums,
can be done in politics, David B. Hill
can be safely trusted to do it, and
Grover Cleveland is not far behind
him in these respects. But one of
these two men will be the candidate
of the Democratic party for Presi-
dent of the United States. 1t has al
ready become the duty of the patri-
otto voter to study the record of
each. With Cleveland vetoing pen
sions at Washington, and Hill at AL
bany in his last days as governor
robbing Republicans of their seats as

not be, and will not be difficult for the
