TILT ON THE REPEAL ELL.

Exchange of Words by Messrs. Wash
burn and Dubois in the Senate.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., Oct. 2.-An inter-
csting exchange Of words occurred to-
day when the resolution came up to
defer action on the silver repeal bill
until the three states which did not
elect senators should be fully repre-
sented. Mr.. Washburn, of Minnesota,
said he supposed the object
of the resolution was to show
that the opponents OF the repeal
were being taken at All unfair advan-
tage. He would therefore say these two
were not silver-producing states and
those two states were represented III
the Senate by two senators who favor
the repeal of the Sherman law. In re-
spouse to a question Of Mr.. Wolcott,
Mr.. Washburn said he referred to the
states of Washington and Wyoming.
II would like the senator from Mime
sota," said Mr.. Dubois, "to state by
whose authority he makes that asser-
ton"
"By the authority of the senators
themselves" replied Mr.. Washburn.

NEW MINE LAW NEEDED.
Michigan Will Move for Better In
spection of Shafts.

SpectlOn OF shafts.
MARQUETTE, Mich, Oct. 2.-The awful
disaster at the Mansfield iron mine last
Friday has already led to popular
movement for the modification of the
Michigan law providing for the inspec-
ton Of mines During the six years
this law has been in force there has not
been a single instance where the re-
sponsibility for an accident has been
fixed upon mining company, nor has
it brought about any change in the
methods of mining that would insure
greater safety to miners. AS the law is
framed the election Of the mine in
spector in each county devolves
upon the county board Of supervisors.
Two-thirds of the supervisors in the
mining districts are resident managers
or chief clerks of the mines, thus max
ing the mine inspector dependent for
his election upon the very corporations
whose methods he is charged by law to
scrutinize carefully and condemn when
ever he finds them likely to endanger
the lives of employees. The legislature
of 1894 will be urged to make the mine
inspector elective by popular vote in
the same manner as other county
officers. 1t is also suggested that the
county system of inspection be abol-
ished and state Inspector elected.
1t is now known that twenty-eight
persons persisted by the flooding of the
Mansfield mine Their bodies will
never be recovered.

CAMPAIGN PROMISES.

The cry upon which President Cleve-
land rode into power was that the peo-
pie should be Immediately relieved
from the burden of the protection tariff.
Mr.. Harrison in his last message to con-
gress cautioned that body against any eff
fort to thwart the Democrats of their
will; but Mr.. Cleveland will not convene
congress sooner than September. This
allows the country to welter in the slough
of calamity for long time. Immediate
relief year after date is rather curious
performance of promise. The fact is,
if the money of the country were unre-
strained by iniquituous laws, there would
be no howl about the tariff. Restore
silver to its money character and the
tariff will take care of itself. Nothing
was done with the tariff during the first
Cleveland regime and it will only be Jug
gled to kill silver bill during this.

PASSED. THE "PAPtR STAGE"

II what the western press, and particu-

New Mexico, has to say on the prospects
for railroad construction, is to be count
cd as worth anything, an active era oil
railway building is about to break on the
8 southwest, and New Mexico will be strict
ly in it. Half a dozen different pro ects
are under consideration, and are so far
along as to make it pretty certain that
they have passed the paper road" stage.
In this line the situation in New Mexico
is certainly improving daily. The boom
may be on before we know it.

"FORNlNST SILVER"

/. SOME ugly stories are in circulation
about Washington as to the real cause Of
the presidents determination to call an
extra session of congress in September
next. The real object, it is said, is to
knock out the Sherman silver purchasing
law, and it Is claimed that presidents
kindness to Senators Vest and Voorhees,
is thus accounted for. These are, or
were out-spoken free silver men, but it is
limited now that they have gone into some
sort of an agreement with the president
whereby the senate finance committee
will obey the dictates of Mr.. Cleveland.
The west will watch this proceeding with
no little concern.

SIGNIFICANT.

1t is significant fact that moro than
twice the ship tonnage passes through
the Sault st. Marie canal than enters New
York harbor, and also that Detroit is
about the largest port of entry in the
United States. In fact the shipping has
been SO great that necessity has devel-
oped a new style of seagoing vessel
known as the Whaleback. These mon
sters have the same speed and greater
tonnage than the ocean line racers. They
leave Detroit and Chicago, make the voy-
age to Europe, carry more freight and
land goods on the lake shore sooner than
their boastful competitors. The Whale
back will soon invade the gulf and then
the southwest will be independent of the
e1tortion of the east.
