BURIED ALIVE IN A MINE.

SCRANTON, Pa, December p, 1S9S.-At
the Lang Cliffe colliery, near Avera, yester-
day afternoon, while Richard Clark and
Peter Steck, miners, were ~propping a dan
gerous section of roof, the mass gave way,
burying them beneath it and causing their
instant death. A Polander laborer who was
assisting them was seriously injured.
Last night, at the Heidelberg mine, near
Smithville, George Dooner accidentally
dropped a spark from his mine lamp into a
keg containing powder. The explosion that
followed resulted in Dooner's death and con-
siderable injury to that part of the mine.

formed for their ediication the gyra-

their freedom and sense of duty,
worked up the story for their paper,
which published an exclusive account
OF the event. The others were asked
oy the sporty gents concerned not
to say anything about it. They did
not say ANYTHING about it. They
openly admitted that to have done so
would have interfered with the sale

THE question of which is the wick
eldest county in the State seems to be
chiefly a matter of grand juries. DR..
Gordon's famous coup damaged Hud-
sons reputation about as much as it
improved Hudson's morals. The Pas
sale twentv-four, who indicted half
the officials in that county in the sum-
mer, gave their section an unenviable
note for several months. Now it is
Essex's turn. They have a grand
jury over there in Phariseeville which
is going to show up the whole inside
of politics and other things. The ras-
Gals of both parties are trembling, we
are told, and we may add that if this
is so there must be something like an
epidemic of ague in the county.
Certainly if the Grand Jury does
what it threatens, we have a shock
ing revelation ahead of us. When
the disorderly houses and gambling
dens of Newark are exposed, the Sun
day liquor selling is shown up, the
bribery, corruption and robbery in
all the cities and towns of the county
are laid bare. and the systematic cleo
ton crimes of both parties are ar
raigned, the State will stand aghast.

Senator Hoar's Attack ON the Presi.
dent.

a Hoaf'S Attack on the PfeSl-
dent.
Senator Hoar made a long speech in
the Senate yesterday, in which all his
old virulence and all his old misdir-
ection of intellect are conspicuous.
The speech is worth reading as a
model of everything that the speech
of a United States Senator on a great
question of statesship ought not to be.
The personal hatred of the President,
and the partisan rancor displayed are
most lamentable. Agreat question of
public morals and National expsdi-
ency is handled with no purpose in
the world except to excite bad feeling
towards our chosen ruler, and to make
votes against the Democratic party.
In the actual material of the speech,
the extraordinary feature is the
evasion of the true issue, and the at
tempt to fabricate a new and false
outof yapor and malice. What
matter about the Hawaiian question,
says Senator Hoar in one place, we are
chiefly concerned now about the
American question, and he goes on to
accuse the President of usurping the
functions of Congress in shaping any
Hawaiian policy at all, or in taking
any diplomatic action-for, of course,
this is what it comes to.
It is odd that Senator Hoar should
fail to see how this sort of criticism
rebounds upon Benjamin Harrison
and his administration with ten fold
force. There was a President, who,
while Congress was actually in ses-
sion, entered into a secret conspiracy
for the spoliation of a foreign and
friendly government. There was an
administration which on its own
responsibility leved war upon a de
fucto and de jatre friendly government
with the arms and soldiers of the
United States, ana actually accomp-
lisaed the overthrow of that friendly
power aud virtually annexed its terri
tory TO the United States by hosting
our lay anu estdDlhoatuS OuE pEOtSc-
torate over it's people and soil.
In contrast with this monstrous
outrage on the law and morality of
international relations, President
Cleveland has invoked only the
methods Of peace and good will, the
arguments of honor, loyalty and good
faith to undo a wrong which he
rightly felt to be a national disgrace.
Acting in the recess OF the National
Legislature. he put forward the good
offices of the United States to restore
to its rights the friendly power which
had been overthrow by our crime.
These good offices he extended to the
protection of all the victims of Mr..
Harrison's lust of conquest. He used
bis utmost endeavor to bring about
peace, and justice by just and peace
ful means, we'll within his powers as
Chief Executive.
The fact that peaceful mean have
Jailed brings the President to the
limit of his Constitutional powers,
but does not alter his convictions. He
has no doubt as to what ought to be
done, though he lacks the power tc
do it. He has an abiding conviction

OUR Trenton correspondent has a
suspicion that there is, in fact, some
where, a conspiracy on foot to hold
the Senate in the interests of the race
tracks against the Republicans. He
so intimated in his very interesting
letter published yesterday. Bob"
Aarain is in it. it is said. and Billy
Thompson is it's chief engineer. OF
course if there is any way of doing a
villaincus thing these two individ-
uals will try their hardest. No doubt
they have considered the subject and
are considering it still, if they have
any hope left. But we agree with our
Trenton man, that it will never sue
coed. The Governor is against it.
Every paper in the State except the
Newark Journal will condemn it, and
decent democrats will have nothing
to do with it.
Still. we are not so sure the race
tracks will get left. There remains
the good old plan of buying a Repub-
lican Senator or two.

that Congress should order the
restoration Of the Queen, and should
equally project by the power of the
Nation the misguided members of the
Provisional government, simply be-
aus they were the dupes and tools
Of the United States as represented
by President Harrison ana Minister
Stevens.
The speech of Senator Hoar is of
the highest public use in this respect:
1t is the final proof that the Presi-
dents position on thu Hawaiian
question is anassaiiabie. His oppo-
nenus, to create feeling against him,
are obliged to divert public attention
from the real issue to one of their own
fabrication. This they seek to do in
the wanton and outrageous charges
that the President has exceeded the
powers of his office and usurped the
rights of Congress. Well, we are
making history very fast just now.
Grover Cleveland and his adllerents
are writing down their record in
strong. unmistakable colors upon the
swift turning pages of time. The Re-
publican party is bedaubing the
margins with maudlin and unmean-
ing or malicious and dishonest COM
ments.
Posterity will read the text and the
gloss and will give its verdict. We
who are watching the progress of
events today will not be here to note
the final Judgment. But we imagine
the President would go down to his
last sleep tomorrow with placid con-
fidence in the judgment of history
upon his course and his mot lives.
When those who now asperse him are
forgotten. or remembered only to be
condemned, his name will live among
those of our truest statesmen, in the
same rank with Adams and Marcy,
Webster, Calhoun and Seward.

Sleering Her Life Away.

The German village of Gramoke is
greatly excited over Il case of persistent
somnolency in the person of the daugh-
ter of one of the town officials. The girl,
a pretty, slender child of some thirteen
years Of age, has been in a continual
sleep since the second week in May, and
even now does not show the least trace
of arousing from her protracted slum-
ber During the first week Of her en-
forced sleep the family seemed grieved
to the verge of distraction and all was
mourning in the house where the child
lay in the embrace of deaths twin
brother"
After awhile, however, when it was
noticed that she would swallow liquid
nourishment, their fears for her safety
seemed to abate to certain degree, and
now, after lapse of more than half a
year, the family go about their daily
labors as if the little maid were really
dead and half forgotten. Highest medi-
cal authorities have been consulted, but
all efforts to keep her awake have re-
suited in total failures.-St. Louis Re-

A Nice Way of Making Tea.

To those who get sleeplessness from
tea let me recommend a most delicate
way of makingit. Fill perforated silver
ball with dry tea and swing it through a
cup of boiling water. The ball can re-
main long enough in the water to pro-
duce a most delicious infusion, but there
will be none or very little of the tannin,
that astringent element of tea which is
SO injurious. Recent scientific inquiries
into the qualities of the peculiar power OF
tea, which las tended to raise it SO high
IN popular esteem, claim for it calm,
placid, benignant exhilaEation, greatly
stimulating the stomach, but if it is al
lowed to steep long it becomes a poison.

When you feel a longing for doing
fancy work and think you must act
upon it, do not spend your time and
energies in making "throws'' or other
things to gather dust and dissipate
your strength in keeping them clean.
Make those things which have visi-
bic excuse for being, either because
they are useful or beautiful. One never
has too many cushions. Afghans are
a necessity and may be as fancy as
taste indicates. Bureau scarfs, tides,
pincushion covers should be made
from wash materials. They are not
artistic when made of thin boiling
muslin for they are too frail to serve
as they were intended. A table cloth
to be used where one eats is mon
strosity if it must avoid soap and wa
ter. Such points as these are the A
B @ of art work, but most women ap-
pear never to have known them, and
hence the chit or miss'' sort of rooms
we sometimes get into. Enough to
give one the nightmare.
