THE DEEPEST MINE.
America Now Has Penetrated the Worlds
Crust Furthest.

The United States has now, we believe,
the deepest metal mine in the world.
For some ii me that claim has been made
for the Maria shaft at the mines of
Prizbram in Austria, which was 3,675
feet below the surface at the time of the
great fire in 1892; and nothing, we be-
lieve, has been done upon it since that
time. 1t has now been surpassed in
depth by the No.3 shat. of the Tamarack
Copper Mining Company, in Michigan,
which, on Decent Der 1st was 3,640 feet
deep, and is now more than $500 feet,
the average rate of sinking being about
IS feet a month. This makes it beyond
question the deepests metal mine in ex-
istence and only one other shaft has
reached a greater depth, that of d coal
mine in.Belgium, for which $500 feet
are claimed. For the attainment of this
distinction we have to congratulate Capt
John Daniels, the general manager of
the company, for the skill and success
with which the work has been carried
on. In Germany the completion of the
Adalbert shaft to a depth of 1000 meters
(3.2S1 feet) was thought worthy to be
the occasion of public festival; and
though the Tanarack shaft has been
carried down to the present great depth
entirely as a matter of business, and no
special formalities have marked its pro-
gress, the remarkable achievement GER
tainly deserves recognition for not only
has it been sunk to a greater depth than
any before it, but it has been sunk with
much greater rapidity and at less cost
than probably any European shaft of
any kind like its depth or in ground as
hard. Engineering and Mining Journal.

ing as much within their rights as the
man who had positive convictions would
in voting yes or no. If man has no
positive convictions in regard to a propo
sition to compel him to express one is to
compel him to misrepresent himself. If
the fine were to be imposed upon man
for refusing to answer present when his
name was called there could be no OBJ
lection to it. But the men who sit silent
when their names are called on some
bill or motion ali answer to their names
when the roll is called to determine how
many men are present. To accomplish
anything the fine must be imposed to
compel them to vote on the proposition
or motion before the House. But to
compel them to vote then may be to
compel them to misrepresent themselves.
To refrain from expressing an opinion is
as clearly the right of the representative
as to express one, and to coerce m en-
Der into voting at all may be just as
much an invasion of his rights as to
coerce him into voting no when he wants
to vote yes.

ments, notably for the reconstruction of
the High school building. Under any
administration these appropriations
would have had to be made, and the tax
rate raised to meet them. But the most
complete answer is that the appropria-
tions are fixed by the two boards of the
city council, acting independently. All
these appropriations were concurred in
therefore by the Board of Aldermen, the
majority of which is Democratic. If
then there was any fault the Democrats
share it equally with the Republicans.

Mr.. Bland and his friends in their de-
spair at Their inability to secure a vot-
ing quorum on the seigniorage bill, are
beginning to cudgel their brains for
some way out of their difficulty. The
obvious and the sensible one is to en-
power the speaker to take cognizance of
the pre- sence OF member, if he is pres
ent, whether ne responds to roll call or
not. But this was Speaker Reeds plan,
and the Democrats denounced it SO
iercely that they cannot without great
deal of humiliation turn around and
adopt it. So they are hunting after some
other expedient. \ system of fines is
one that they are just now looking upon
with some favor. When a motion is SUBJ
mitted to the House if some of the repre-
sentatives do not vote upon it the delin-
quents are to be brought to the bar of
the House and fined $50 each. Now this
is an actual and positive invasion of the
rights of the individual member. 1t is
an attempt to compel him to express an
opinion when he may really have none.
1t is easily conceivable that on many
propositions that come before Congress
there may be members whose opinions
have not reached that positive stage that
will admit of definite yes or no. These
man would naturally refrain from vot-
ing, and in so doing they would be act

The Argus yesterday published III it,
editorial columns the following:

The Argus yesterday published III it's
editorial columns the following:
AS was expected, Mayor Baxter was
re-nominated yesterday by the Republic
can convention without opposition.
That he has made good chief magis-
trate for the past year the Argus is will
ing to admit without argument. One
year ago we did not believe he would or
could display so many agreeable quail
ties as have marked his occupancy of the
Mayors chair during the municipal year
now rapidly drawing to close. The
trouble with the administration of city
affairs has not been SO much with
Mayor Baxter, who-We nave reason to
believe-has done his best to keep things
on an economical basis, AS with the Re-
publican majority of the city council.
The difference between Repu biicans and
Democrats, in Office is mainly shown in
the expenditure of the peoples money.
The Republicans are bound to be ex-
travagant, the Democrats are bound to
cratic administration-with both branch
es Of the city council in Democratic
hans-the expenditures of the year were
kept within the appropriations, and no
increase of the rate of taxation was
made. But under Mayor BAKERS ad-
minisration the tax rate has been in
creased from $40. so to $40. so on d thous-
and. That is the prime reason why it
would be better for the interests of the
tax payers of the city to elect this year
a Democratic Mayor and a Democratic
city council.
This endorsement Of Mayor Baxter,
coming as it does from political oppon-
emit, is of great value. 1t is public adj
mission on behalf of the Democratic
party of this town that it has no fault
to find with Mr.. Baxter's administration
of the Mayors Office, and that there is
no good reason for any change in that
office. That being the case, the sensible
thing for the Democrats to do would
be to refrain from making any nomina
tion for Mayor. Certainly after it's reple-
sentative newspaper has openly declared
that Mayor Baxter has been good
mayor, that he has done the best he
could to keep things on an economical
basis, and that any failure on that point
if there has been any, has been due to
the city council, the most important
branch of which is Democratic. it can
have no foundation whatever for q canl-
paign against him except the purely par
tsan one that he is Repub-
lican. With nothing better than that the
Democrats cannot expect to come within
a gunshot of success Better refrain from
making a nomination, gentlemen, or
what is better, endorse Mayor Baxter
AS for the Argus's allusion to the in
crease i'll tax rate, but a word is
necessary. Everybody knows that the
tax rate had to be increased because the
people demanded certain special and ex-
traordinary appropriations Cor improve

In his annual report President Eli OF, of
Harvard College, recommends further
restriction of college sports, especially
in the direction of intercollegiate contests
No contest of this sort should be per-
mitted, he says, except on college
grounds. Foot ball. he thinks, needs
modification to render it less dangerous
Coming from a college where athletic
sports have fourished to greater extent
than anywhere else, and where. therefore
the opportunities for observing their
tendencies and effects have been superior
the report of President Eliot will carry
great weight. We are inclined to think
that nobody outside of those personswho
are temporarily insane over college ath-
letics will question the correctness of
his conclusions. OF course the under
graduate who plays on the foot ball team
will not like them just now, but in
years to come his ripper judgment can be
trusted to approve them. The truth of
the matter is that athletics in our col
leges, especially in the larger ones, have
been carried to a dangerous extreme.
means. They were introduced and en-
couraged on the idea that physical de-
velopment should go along with mental
development, the latter assisting the
former. The idea was happy one, but
the working of it has not been so happy.
In that process physical development
which was intended to be subsidiary, has
usurped the chief place, and to
many undergraduates the college
has become simply an arena for
the cultivation of physical prowess
But this is not the worst of it. Athlet-
les have been so stimulated by con-
tests between rival teams amid exciting
surroundings that the undergraduate
has frequently been led to subject him
self to physical strain which has in
jured him for life. Thus not only has
the mental been subordinated to the
physical, but the physical has been jeop-
ardized.
every discerning person are not necessari-
ly inherent in athletic sports. The
games which undergraduates carry on
can all Of them be INDUCED in with
slight risk of physical injury, and as
rule with profit, both to the body and
mind. But it will require manysreforms
of ths conditions under which those
sports are INDUCED in at present. Some
of the excitement which often surrounds
them and operates as tremendous
stimulant must. b e removed. Contests
in the large cities must be put stop to.
Long and exhausting training tor con-
tests must be prevented. In short college
athletics must be restricted in practice
within the limits set for them In theory.
