permit, the Assistance started for the
return trip.
Several times on the return journey
the tug was in danger of being run
down. Once. an Old Dom'nion steam
ship missed cutting her IN two by less
than fifty yards.
The failure to properly locate the tug
and dive for the bodies yesterday, in
stead Of dampening the ardor of the
Eve:iing World' men on board. had
Just the opposite effect.
1t was decided to start out early this

To-day. and II they eyer hook on to any

with the Scotland Lghtship and refute
the statement made by a sailor yester-
day to a sister of John Higgins, one of
the missing, to he effect that her
brother was alive on the Lightship. The
keeper declared that he had seen none
of the survivors of the disaster and none
of the bodies of the victims.
Capt. De Noyelles was particularly
sanguine about to-days venture. He
thought the search would be materially
aided by the testing of the new heavy
dynamite guns at Sandy Hook this af-
ternoon. 1t Is hoped that the firing of
these guns In the vicinity Of the wreck
Will cause such an agitation of the
water as well as of the sandy bottom
that many of the bodies will be brought
to the sur face. AS the new search light
will also be tested in the same vicinity
tonight 1t will be easy to recover the
bodies in case they rise.
Any bodies so found will be placed on
board the tug and brought to this city
at the expense of 1.-THE Evening World"

Identification can be made.

1T is now, says the New York Times,
for the leaders of the Democratic party,
without reference to the silver question
to unite their earnest and most intelli-
gent efforts to carry out the one undoubt-
ed mandate received from the people
and place upon the statute books at the
earliest practicable moment a law for
the substantial and decisive reduc-
ton and reform Of the tariff. This is
the plain duty, not only of those WHO
have stood 10y Mr.. Cleveland In his finan-
| cial principles, but of those who have la
bored for some form of extended silver
money. That question must in all rea-
| son be regarded as now settled, If not
! permanently, as we believe, for the pres
ent congress. as all men can see 1t is
| not and never has been a national
| issue. The Democratic party as a
national party is not and never has been
| committed to free coinage or to any
| form of silver money that could not be
| kept at par with gold. If il had been so
| committed, it is likely that the power 1t
now possesses would never have been
| given 1t. That power was clearly with
out reserve given for the purpose OF
tariff reform. To this there is in the
party no honest opposition. 1t is, there
fore, the part of every Democrat who is
really loyal to his party, who believes in
Its unquestioned principles and who de-
| sireS that ii may continue in a position
to apply those principles, to lay aside all
other matters and give his utmost
strength to tariff reform If this be
done, the party has sure prospect OF
great and lasting usefulness and credit
The plainest dictate of party expediency
unites with that of intelligent patriotism
in this direction. There is no service tc
our common country of greater magni-
tude, of higher purpose, of more lasting
benefit, than to emancipate it from the
bondage of corrupt protection now en-
bodied in our tax laws. The Democrat
ic party can render that service and rear
the Just and honorable reward, or it car
refuse it and sink into deserved con
tempt.

Such was the order entered by Judge

Prison Holds an innocent Man

Pierre, 5. D., April IA strange sto-
ry OF conviction by circdmstantiaI evi-
dence has been uncovered here. John
A. Shea, of this town, was seven wears
ago a bound boy to Charles NJ Clayton,
at Deer Lodge, Mont. Clayton was a
hard taskmaster and frequently beat
Shea, who finally ran away. None of
the neighbors saw him, and when CLAY
ton said the boy had fled in the night
his story WAS not believed. 1t was be-
lleved that in an outburst of passion he
had inadvertently killed Shea, and. fear
ing the consequence had trumped up
the story of his flight. He was arrested
convicted and sentenced to II years at
hard labor. Shea has since been a wan>
derer, aud until Friday night knew
knothing of Clayton;s terrible plight.
when, through conversation with a
chance acquaintance, he learned the
truth. He at once started for Montana
to set his old master free.

THE outbreaks among the miners of
the Connelsville region, says the Pitts
burg Post, can have but one outcome.
Experience should teach them what that
is. If the civil authorities are unable to
protect life and property and men in the
Godglven right of working for whom and
for what they please, the military power
OF the state will be invoked and the right
made secure. 1t is said the foreign
miners, are the main cause of the troub-
les. That is made to appear whether it
Is so or not. But the fact should not be
lost sight of that these foreign miners
were brought into the Connellsville re-
gion originally by the operators to take
the places of a far higher q ade of native
and foreign labor. Since then there has
been constant succession of disturban-
ces. The competition among operators
for orders has cut prices, and this In
turn has forced a cut in wages. This is
not IN excuse Of the lawless class, but a
fact to be borne in mind in tracing the
moral responsibility for disturbed con.
ditions. 1t does not rest entirely-not
by great odds-on the ignorant foreign
ers, but the wealthy operators have a
large share
