The Georgia Election.

The election over In Georgia last
week was not as decisive Democratic
victory as we had hoped for. The
Populists made decided gains all over
the State, and we fear tnat they will
capture two Of the Congressional dis.
tricts, which the Democracy can Ill
AFFORD to lose at this time. We. have
seen several reasons assigned for the
result Of the election, but the nearest
to the true reason for the heavy Popu-
list gains we think are those advanced
by the Spartanburg Herald. The
Herald thinks that one Of the main
causes that led to such q material re
duction Of the usual Democratic ma
jority is to be found In Democratic
apathy, which caused many Democrats
to stay away from she polls. There
has," says the Herald, "been sharp
fight made for and against the admin
istration of Mr.. Cleveland In Georgia
and this has had the effect Of driving
many into the Populists' ranks. There
is an element in Georgia that persist
emily refuses to see any good In the
national administration. Envy, jeal-
ousy and disappointment are at the
bottom of this but 1t has had its weight
no doubt. Then again, there are those
who not only insist on fighting any
thing that appears to be q criticism OF
the administration, but In contendicg
for Mr.. Cleveland's financial views
have misrepresented the Democratic
party, and this we believe to be respon.
sible very largely for Popullst gains in
Georgia. If these people persist in the
attempt to make 1t appear that the
Democratic party Is pledged to the
single gold standard, with its attend
ant train of evils, paralyzing trade,
grinding the poor, depressing the weak,
making the rich richer and the poor,
poorer, we may expect as many Of the
honest farmers, mechanics and pro-
ducerS Of Georgia as are thus misled
to Seek the Populist party for relief /.
If we believed the Democratic party
stood for the John Sherman, Eastern
gold bug policy, we would join the
Populists or some party that did rep u
diate these views. The Democratic
party is not the party Of contraction
and Capitalization. It opposes the
concentration Of power In the hands of
the few, it calls to the protection of the
masses and the enactment of such
measures as will bring the greatest
good to the greatest number" These
are strong words. but they are as true
as preaching. The people are deter
mined to have relief from the oppres-
sion of the money kings. They would
like that relief to be obtained through
the Democratic party, but If that party
fails to give 1t to them they will seek
1t through some other party.

GOVERNOR Foster, of Louisiana, is
not the least uneasy over the political
situation in that State. He unhesitat-
ingly declares his firm belief In Demo.
cratic success in all of the three sugar
districts, where the Republicans have
received the acquisition of the planters
to their ranks. He does not LOOK uron
the departure of these backsliding
Democrats as at all alarming, as he
thinks that there will be no ground
lost to the Democracy of the State by
the movement, and it will furthermore
perform the good Office of bringing to.
gether and cementing into one solid
phalanx all factions of the party and
squelch factional issues.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, Oct. 11.-Follr men
were killed, two were fatally I'M ured
and several others were painfully
burned by disastrous boiler explosion
that occurred at the Henry City Col
liery early today. The entire steam
supplying plant of the mine, consisting
of thirty six boilers was totally demol-
ished and in addition to the monetary
loss, which will aggregate $50. 900, the
Henry Clay Big Mountain, Sterling and
Peerless collieries will be unable to
resume operations for at least month.
1t was a cold morning, and the injured
men we're gathered in the boiler room
to get warm. The boiler on the west.
ern end of the house is supposed to
have been the first to explode and then
the adjoining boilers went up in quick
succession, the repeated explosions re.
sembling the roar of artillery.
Only nine of the thirty-siX boilers
escaped destruction, and even these
we're so badly damaged that they are
useless. Many of the boilers were torn
apart near the centre by the terrible
force and the two sections would then
take different directions. One.half of
boiler was hurled a full quarter of a
mile and lodged in the slush bank
northwest of where the boiler formerly
stood. Another that took a similar
direction, crashed through the side of
the breaker and lodged against the
scraps line. Another crashed through
the top house and came near killing
several employees. The safety lamp
house that stood near the top of the
shaft was reduced to splinters.
Four colleries will be thrown into
idleness by the accident for month or
six weeks, 80 that the total loss will
aggregate 100000. The boilers fur
nished steam for the breakers for the
four collieries named.

A Serious Charge.


Ga tho 9th day of February last one
Mac G. Wilson came 10 this quiet Sec
ton claiming to be a medical doctor,
having graduated at the Atlanta Medical
College, and asked 'fJr situation here.
After looking over the conntry for sew.
eral days be located at ono j. Fl. Fen.
der's ano was allowed to stay there and
practice medicine and surgery until three
weeks ago. While residing there news
came that he did not have proper creden.
tials and upon investigation it was found
that he had an old diploma bearing date
1857. It was five years old:r than the
man himself.
After this development, together With
other bad conduct on tho part of Wilson,
Fender told him to leave bis place, he,
Wilson, having paid no board and whee
told to leave fatty refused to paw it.
Wilson then went to one D. r. Seed
ley's and remained there until last Tues
day. Steedley left home on the morn
ing of that day, leaving no one there
except Wilson. Later in the day Steed-
l,y returned home and found that Will
son was gone. also that S lbs of tobacco,
| 70 cents in cash, tho house key and
Stee dIey's best hat was gone with him.
He came here from HarleYvills. s..
c., and is q married man. He left a
nots at Stee dley's house saying he would
see Fender and Trial Justice Smoak in

the city of Bismarck, several days ago,
bnt that they have not been served.
Wonder what it means. Why don't they
give them to the officers, and have them
served upon the parties whom they ac-
cuse? It can't be possible that the
judge has been seen, and concluded
that some of his friends might object to
euch proceedings, can it? A law that
the officers have got to sneak around,
and seek untimely occasions to enforce,
needs amendment, and, as the Settler
said in substance on the 18th inst: "a
law that cannot be enforced might as
we'll be wiped out" Sheriff Donnelly
was seen, and he says no papers have
been placed in his hands for service.
Wonder where they are?

SETTLER: The result of the election
shows co%nclusively that there is no ag-
gressive sentiment among those engaged
in illicit liquor traffic to procure a resub-
mission of prohibition to the voters of
the state. Senator Kinter's candidacy
and canvass are very much in evidence
in this matter. The blind pig element
place their business not only in the pre-
amble, but in every resolution that forms
their platform, and if they had wanted
resumbission Kinter's vote would have
shown it unmistakably. The fact is, the
few victims to successful prosecutions
under the law have acted rather as a
stimulus to blind piggers. If there is no
sentiment in the legislature which will
convene this winter that will warrant a
successful effort to amend the law so
that it can be enforced in cities like Bis.
marx. we might as we'll surrender and
try something else. It is a broad farce
in the capital city, and serves to drag
down rather than elevate the standard
Of morality.

The Hirschfield divorce case is now
being tried at Fargo, and one of the wit
nesses testified that the wife had been
heard to say that her husband was a
"Christ- killer" That is Lot very pretty
language for a wife to use, but we doubt
not that a man who would seek to bas-
tardize his own child to save his money
would kill Christ or anybody else who
got in his way. Marriage is a civil con-
tract, and to be legal both parties must
be mentally sound for the contract to be
valid. If we we're on that jury all the
evidence Mrs. b. would need would be
the babe in her arms. We take little
stock in the testimony of some people
when testifying in behalf of as rich a
man as Hlrschield and against a de.
senseless woman. The way We size it up
is that Hirschfield was a lecherous old
wretch, who allowed his passions to get
the better of him. Let him take the
consequences. We are for the woman in
the case.

TIE new senate chamber is nearing
completion, and will be a handsome
legislative hall when the work upon it is
finished. It strikes the TRIBUNE, how
ever, that it would be a mistake to put
in a sloping floor, as has been proposed.
From the shape of the hall, and the
comparatively small body of men who
are to occupy it, the slipping floor is un-
necessary, and would be more of an in
convenience than an aid. While, in a
long hall, where a large body of men are
to be seated, a sloping floor might be
advantageous TO those who are seated
some distance back from the presidents
desk, in the new senate chamber, taking
all OF the circumstances into considera-
ton, it looks as though the s!opiny
floor would not be nearly as practicable
and serviceable as a level one.

The death of Waldo M. Potter re-
moves n of the founders and wheel
horses of republicanism, and will occa-
sion general regret throughout the state.
Mr.. Potter was n of the men at whose
hands the republican party received it's
first life and impetus. His has long been
a conspicuous figure in the councils of
republicanism, and his voice has been
n always to direct the party in the
path of the right. In the state, for the
past ten years, he has been we'll and
widely known in political and newspaper
circles. He wa a man of exceptional
keenness, an i%ncisive r%easoner, a deep
and ardent student of all questions af-
fecting public policy, aud in his decease
the whole state feels a loss.

MORE trouble is said to be brewing in
the populist camp in this state, as
though the result of the election wasn't
enough for this time. The manager Of
the Fargo Independent, the state organ,
who at the same time officiates as sec
rotary of the populist board of railway
commissioners, and also secretary of the
populist state committee, evidently
thinks he is getting the worst of it, and
in a long Brticle in the current number
of his paper, says, among other things:
"lhe secretary was entirely ignored,
never saw a scrap of the campaign cor
respondence, was never allowed to know
anything of the campaign management,
and was refused a vote and voice in the
meetings of the committee. The Inde-
pendent never got a dollar from the
committee for it's services, though it did
more work for the ticket than the other
papers combined. The committee put
up money to papers that. fought us, but
not a dollar to the Independent, though
we sent out thousands of copies of our
paper at a loss, and IN the last two
weeks of the campaign, spent over 5000
of our own money in campaign work.
Not only that, but the committee now
owes a balance of over 1928 for Job work
done. The Independent never got as
much as a single dollar from any source
for its work in the campaign"

DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder
Worlds Fair Highest Medala,
Don't Want 1t Raised.

Fargo Argus: A rumor comes from
Bismarck to the effect that those in
charge of the capital improvements have
determined to place a raised floor, opera
house style, in the senate chamber. This
is neither sensible or convenient; besides
it renders the room unfit for other pur-
poses. 1t is to be hoped this will not be
done. Let the floor be level, as it is in
the United States senate chamber and in
all other legislative halls. The members
do not go there to see, but to work. The
object of the raised floor is to give a bet
ter view of the stage. The presidents
platform should be raised, but not the
floor.

of $1,000 for the survey Of public lands
