THE ELECTIONS LAW REPEAL.


hAeWs as To tne Probable fsuecJ OF tne
Change in Their Section.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Discussing with
Republican Buck" Kilgore Of Texas, the
probable operation of the repeal of the
Federal Elections law, Senator Palmer of
Illinois, expressed the opinion that it
meant the disintegration of the solid
south, by removing tho fear of negro
domination, and he thought this would
come about in less than six months.
But Mr.. Kilgore was not willing TO con.
cede that such q state of affairs was to be
expected. 1T may come in years. ho
said, but II is certainly not question of
months. On the contrary, ] believe that
there will always be white mans gov
eminent in the south and cannot see how
the repeal of the Elections law will make
the least bit of difference.
Colonel kilgore was also quite certain
that the Popnlists would not get the negro
vote and he thought that any party that
pandered for this vote would be sure to
meet defeat at the polls.
Representative Moses of Georgia, who
comes from what Is known as a negro dis.
trict in his State said that if there was no
other reason for holding the white men
together in the south, it would be the fear
that Republican supremacy would bring
upon them something like the Lodge bill
or measure even more drastic in its
measure. -...z
Mr.. Moses was certain the negro vote
would not go to the Populists. AS o
matter Of fact" he said, ''the Federal
Elections law has never given us much
trouble and | do not think that its re-
peal will make any difference in the con.
dition of things in the soutln

THlR1 ZEN MEN ENTOMBED.
Caught in a Coal Mine by the Cav
Ing In of the Roof.

The Air Supply Shut OF and Small Chance
of Any of Them Escaping Alive--Ex-
element and Grief of Friends and
Relatives.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. 13.-An ex-
tensive CAVERN occurred at the Gaylord
mine of the Kingston Coal Company at
Plymouth this morning. A large mum.
Der of miners and laborers were at work
under section of the roof which has
for some time past been considered very
weak. After q shot had been fired and
without any warning whatever the roof,
consisting of rock and coal, fell in with
heavy crash.
IL is not known as yet whether any OF
tho men were killed outright by the fall
ing debris, but 1t is known that 10 of
them are hemmed in one of the gang
ways. The air supply is now shut off
and the chance of living for any length
of time is very small. An army of res
cuers are hard at work trying to reach
the entombed men.
NAMES OF THE BURIED MEN.
Later-The namesof the unfortunate
men who were imprisoned are as follows:
Thomas Picton, Thomas Jones,
Richard Davis, John Morris, James
Kingdom, Thomas Morrison, Thomas
Cole, Joseph Ords, Daniel Morgan, j. ohm
Urner, Peter Mclaughlin, Michael
Walsh and Thomas Leyson.
The section of the mine in which the
men are imprisoned is portion of the
Baltimore vein, which at this point is
very thick and they were engaged in
placing large tinlbers as a prop and
support for the roof.
LITTLE HOPE OF RESCUE.
The affected part covers an area oil
600 yards and at 1890 o'clock, this after.
noon, there Is a strong disposition on
the part of the men who are well &C.
quainted with the mine to say that there
is little hope of their rescue, especially
if the fall is one that has had sufficient
force and no resistance to fill up the
worked out gangways and chambers OF
the Baltimore vein.
1t will be several days, and the mos.
heroic work must be done, before the
men can be reached and their fate ascer.

GAZETTE AND JOURNAL


Nobly have the Democrats of Con-
gress carried out the second of the great
duties they were elected to perform, in
the repeal, by the Senate Wednesday, of
the Federal Elections law of 1870. This
wipes out the deputy marshals, the
supervisors, and all the abhorrent
machinery of Federal interference at
tho ballot box, and restores to the people
of tho several States that control of
their elections which is fundamental to
free government by free men.
Twenty-four years have gone by since
the Republicans resortcd to this usurpa-
ton in the hope Of perpetuating their
party in power. AT every Congressional
election during these "a years the shadow
atleast of this usurpation, and generally
the substance thereof, has dominated the
polls and stood between the ballot box
and the citizens whose forefathers fought
and bled on many battlefield of Revo-
lutionary struggle to win for themselves
and their posterity the blessings Of
liberty. Now, at length, these in
famous laws have been wiped from the
statute books, and the American people
have been rehabilitated in the freedom
which their sires so dearly bought and
which they enjoyed untrammeled for
nearly one hundred years.
All honor to the men who have re-
stored to the people this grand birth
right of home rule. All honor to the
Congress which has swept away this
unrepublican and undemocratic device
of oligarchy and has restored to US the
honest self-government as well as the
honest dollar of our fathers.
Now for the speedy redemption of
the third great pledge upon which tho
Democratic party was restored to power
the reduction of the tariff and the
restoration of the taxing power to the
people who are taxed, to be exercised
for the public benefit and not made
subservient to private greed. The
action of the Senate on the Federal
Elections Repeal bill is full of en-
couragement in this direction. 1t de-
monstrates that the majority can rule in
the Senate, in spite of the opposing
tactics of the minority, when it is really
in earnest. The same votes that re-
pealed this Force bill legislation can
pass the Tariff bill, and the sooner the
better for the country.

Some wild protectionist having as
serted that "English cotton goods made

cotton manufacturers, as o rule are not

The Maryland Legislature is being
deluged with applications for charters
by railway companies; the rush of these
bills recalling the numerous electric
bills of the Delaware session of 1898.
Among them are the Elkton & Southern,
the Elkton & Massey and the Easton &
Elkton roads, an indication that Elkton
is aspiring to rivalry with Newark as a
railway centre. Whether the projectors
of any of these lines really mean bust
ness of course remains to be seen. In
the light of recent Delaware expert
ence, we would suggest to tho Mary.

for railway charters a sufficient cash
deposit to ensure the good faith of their
enterprises, such deposit to be forfeited
