FIRE IN A SILVER MINE.
Which Caused Considerable Loss of Life
Fourteen Bodies So Far Recovered.

Which Caused Considerable Loss of Life
Fourteen Bodies So Far Recovered.
PRAGUE, June Am accident has oc-
CURED at the famous Birlzenberg silver
mine, near Prizbram, in Bohemia. The
timbers used in supporting the roof of
the mine caught fire, and the flames
spread from one part of the workings
to another until the whole interior of
the mine was mass of fire. The es-
cape of the men working in the mine
was cut off, and though it is not known
how many of them were killed, it is adj
mitted that the list of the dead will be
large. After a long struggle the fire
was eXtingulshed and volunteers went
down into the mine to rescue anyone
who might have lived through the con-
fagration.
The rescuing party found no trace of
life, but they discovered twelve bodies,
which were sent to the surface.
A later dispatch from Prizbram states
that 500 men were working in the mine
at the time. ALI but forty Of them sue
ceeded in making their escape. Four
teen bodies have been recovered. Many
others, who were seriously injured, were
brought to the surface. The work OF
rescue was suspended during the night,
owing to the suffocating gases with
which the mine was filed. It was re
sumed at an early hour yesterday morn.

rison administration an issue in the

aware that it will be thrown on the de-
fensiye the moment it presents Harri-
son again for the SURFACES of the Peo-
pie. and 1t is seeking out the antiquities
and absurdities of the party in its eff
fort to escape from campaign in which
the Harrison administration would be
closely scrutinized. The perfunctory
forms of approval of the administration
in state platforms count for little by
comparison with the manifest desire Of
the party to escape a test vote on the
popularity of the administration

A REMARKABLE STATEMENT.
An Instance of the Ridiculous Claims O
Republicans.

Republicans.
The republicans of Illinois pledge
their unfaltering support to such
further restrictive tariff legislation as
shall guarantee to American working
men immunity to the utmost from the
cheapening and degrading influence OF
free trade foreign competition"
The men who so pledge themselves
are continually assuring the people in
their speeches and through their press
organs that this very tariff legislation
cheapens the fairfield articles. They
tell the workingman that their legisla-
ton protects him against the cheaper
ing influence of free competition, and
at the same time that it cheapens the
products of his labor, out of. the price
OF which his wages must come.
The wages of the operative IL a
wooden mill, for example, must come
out of the prices obtained for ose goods
produced. But the Mckinley organs
tell him daily that the tariff taxes on
imported wooden goods reduce the
prices of the goods he helps to produce.
How, then, can those taxes guarantee
| him against the cheapening influence
of free competition?
Tariff taxes cannot give him higher
wages lI3du ne NOu1O get W1InOuI I1cm
if they reduce the prices of his products.
The tariffite states an untruth at one
end or the other of his argument
Either tariff tax raises the price Of
the product on which it Is laid-the
home as well as the foreign product
or it cannot raise the wages of the
workman who makes the product IL
it raises the price the tariffite states an
untruth when he asserts that 1t lowers
the price; If it lowers the price he
states an untruth when he asserts that
it gives the workman higher wages
and protects him against ''the cheaper
ing and degrading influence Of free
trade foreign competition"
At one end or the other of the line
the advocate of trade restriction states
what is not true. And it is immaterial
at which end Let him abandon either
statement as false and the people viii
condemn his policy. On the one
hand. they have no love for a policy
which will compel them to pay ex-
orbitant prices forever, and, on the
other hand, they would reject policy
which they believed would unnaturally
depress wages by depressing prices

a VERY DISAGREEABLE MA

Chancellor Snow Says Kansas Has Not Ex-
perienced Such Weather For Twenty-Five
Years.
LAWRENCE, Kan, June at was
thought that the weather for April had
eclipsed any possible record, but the
monthly bulletin, issued by Chancellor
Snow yesterday, shows that for genuine
nastiness the conditions for April are
not to compare to those for May.
THE coolest, wettest, cloudiest and,
with one exception, the windiest May
on our record for twenty-five years, -
the report says, and then adds: 1.-THE to-
tai rainfall for the five months of 1892
now completed exceeds twenty-nine
inches. This is nearly double the average
and by far exceeds the precipitation of
the same months of any preceding
year. Although the month was so cool
there was no frost at this station. The
mean temperature was 60.O4 degrees
which was more than 5 degrees below
the May average. The rainfall was
S.51 inches, which was 4. % inches above
the average. It rained on nineteen
days of the month. There was not an
entirely clear day during the whole
month, and more than 81 per cent. of
the time the sky was completely over
cast. The total run of the wind during
the month was 14,345 miles, a mean
. hourly velocity of almost twenty miles.

The Party That Poses as an Aggregation

1.-THE democrats never keep the
pledges in their platforms, except those
which they make in favor of the liquor
traffic" Thus speaks an organ which
stands for republicanism whether it de-
clare in favor of a tariff for revenue
only or for the maintenance of a war
tariff even at the expense of free whis-
ky. The sentence is an indication OF
the too general tendency to hypocrisy
and cant. The organ thus offending
quotes the passage of a canal bill by
the legislature of New York and its
veto by Gov. Flower. Of the merits of
the case the organ is as ignorant as of
other matters of daily occurrence But
it seeks opportunity to deceive class
of voters against whom it has raised
the most impudent cutlery and asks
that those who have been denounced
by it as enemies of free schools should
turn to the support of its hypocrisy be-
ton imperative
