lie shows Himself to he protectioni-t
from Self-Infere~t.


The speech in which senator German
defended the course of himself and his
fellow conservatives" in forcing his
surrender bill a. substitute for a
democratic measure was not marked by
his customary plausibility and adroit-
ness. The only thing in it that bore
the genuine German trademark was
the attempt to throw upon Mr.. Cleve.
land the responsibility for the protec.
ZIONIST concessions This was smart. Z"
though somewhat beneath the dignity
Of what was intended to be a serious
speech. but of course il will deceive no
one. Mr.. German did not learn his pro-
lection doctrines from Mr. Cleveland
He has been pulling back during the
entire time that Mr.. Cleveland has been
leading his party forward in the tariff
reform fight. He is protectionist
from sclf-interest. Mr.. Cleveland il a
tariff reformer from conviction.
Mr.. Germans excuse for the surren-
der bill is that neither the Wilson bill
nor the finance committees bill could
pass the senate. He omits to explain
why. Such an explanation would have
cause he and his fellow '-conscrva-
tives" blocked the way. They hold
.he balance of power in the senate.
And they used this power To force con
ccssions disgraccful to the party to
which they profess to belong. A bet
ter bill could not pass because they re-
fused to allow il to pass.
The people are clcarer-sightcd in this
matter than Mr. German likes To be-
licvc. They understand the bill and
they understand him. They know that
his only idea of craftsmanship is that
when men differ on any question of
politics they should sit down and
dicker and trade until they can get to-
gether on some mutually profita BILE
compromise" They know that he
has no convictions and that he wouldn't
recognize political principle if he met

BTRNn>GHAM. Ala. June 2l.-Further
developments in the fire in the Mary
Lee mines which broke out yesterday
show that the disaster was even worse
than was at first reported. OF the 100
men in the mine at the time. fifty
were overcome by the great heat
and smoke. and were dragged out
after great peril. Of these Supt.
John Whalen. sam Barker. VIM. Nc
kenzie and Ed Smith were dead.
Twenty are in a critical condition yet,
il being impossible to tell how many
will survive. The death of John White
and J. Barker are looked for at any
moment Two who are still missing

mine.
Just before the re>cuers were forced
to leave the mines last night by smoke
and heat they found twelve men in a
room with the door partially closed by
slate. Several We're unconscious. while
the Others were praying for deliver

were rescued.
Many remarkable escape are report

CLEVELAND. o.. June 22.-All the
mines in the Massillon district were
represented at meeting Of operators
in this city yesterday morning The
operators were practically unanimous
against continuation of the differ
ential rates that have heretofore been
allowed miners i'm the Massillon dis
trict Capt Drake said this differ
ental had virtually driven the
Massillon operators cut of the
market, and that under no circum-
stances would it BE- resumed. The
mines in the Massillon district have
been idle since February IL,
When time the mines v ere closed the
miners were paid eighty-tive cents per
ton where the veins were less than three
feet in thickness, and eighty cents in
veins over three and half feet. The
cut proposed ut that time was to sew
enty-fivc and seventy cents per ton.
The operators present Yesterday ex.
pressed themselves as willing TO pay
the rate fixed for Ohio sixty cents
where the veins are three and one-half
feet thick and an additional five cents
where they are less.
As the miners have determined to
hold out for the diffcrential. this ac-
tion Of the operators means an indeA-
uite continuance Of the strike.
