VALE. CALAMITY HowLER.

Rarely do we hear the sinister croaR
of the calamity bowler concerning the
disastrous effects of the new Demo
cratic tariff. That croak has been all
most sIenced by the multitudinous
hum of renewed industrial activity 1t
is a sad desultory croak now. While
in one column the calamity organs are
forced to- publish accounts of the march
of prosperity i'm an branches of trade,
i'm another column the calamity editors
continue miseraOiy TO doctor statistics
ro Drove that the new tariff is ruin
ing something or other. They are
forced to- publish reports from the iron,
steel glass and farm implement cen
tres that these industries are in the
fun tide OF prosperity. John Jarrett,
Secretary of the Tinplate Association,
reports that all the tinplate mills of
the country are crowded with orders,
and are running to their full capac-
ity" This is one of the protected in
dustries of which ruin was predict
ed under the deadly influence Of the
new tariff. The revival of the iron
and steel trade shows how clear-sight-
ed was Andrew Carnegie when he
earnestly advised his fellow-manufac-
turers to make no facuous opposition
to the Wilson bill Had they taken
his advice. instead Of lending encour-
agement to the calamity howlers and
professional protectionists, the healthy
reaction now to be witnessed in the
iron and steel industries would have
set in much earlier.
And this industrial recovery has
taken place within less than nine
months from the passage Of the new
tariff and under it's full influence.
The assertion that under-yaluations
of wooIens have largely increased un-
der the adj valorem duties of the new
tariff is retuted IN the fact thaJ under
the Mckinley tariff these duties were
still higher. and were enhanced also
by heavy specific duties which no
longer exist Under the Mckinley tar
in the Wooden Manufacturers Associa-
tion employed special agents to assist
the custom house officials to detect the
fraudulent valuations of imports, which
had grown to an enormous evil. And
now the false pretense is made that
these frauds have increased under the
reduced adj valorem duties on woolens.
But the opportunities for manipulating
trade statistics and disappearing
the new tariff are rapidly disappearing
as the public becomes familiar with the
fact; and hence the calamity organs
betray a feyerish desire TO make the
most of the time that is left them.

from too much prosperity in the cow-

BALFOUR'S LETTER.

London, September 9-The Graphic
thinks that the bimetallists will get
cold comfort out of Hon. A. J. Balfour's
letter, explaining his recent utterances
in Parliament against the feasibility OF
an international conference.
THE latter" the Graphic says, "vir-
tually confesses that the cause of which
he is the most prominent champion is
hopeless. In America, returning pros,
perity has forced the silver men into
silence"
The Daily News says on the sams
subject
Mr.. Balfour's letter is one of the
most extraordinary documents that
was ever signed by a British minister.
Mr.. Balfour is now the authorized ex>
ponent of the governments financial
policy. What he says the treasury
says. Is it TO be endured that the First
Lord of the Treasury should treat the
gold standard as a mere subject OF
academic debate. He does not seem to
grasp the monOmetallists' view of the
situation. A Mohammedan Archbish>
op of Canterbury would not be more in
congruous than the bimetallic First
Lord Of the Treasury"

cused him of disloyalty to the Demo-
cratic party S. S. Thomas, member
of the Democratic National Committee

If the party in National Convention
cOnstrues Clevelandism to be synony-
nous with Democracy, it needs no
prophet TO forecast its certain fate.

its greatest tidal wave has in two short
years wrecked its fortunes and laid its

bod written upon our party's future.
| have criticised this administration.
l shall continue to do so as long as it
continues to trample the party prin-
o. es under foot. l have said, and
probably will say, that it has repudi-
ated every plank in the platform.
Even the Presidents boasted policy of
civil service reform is a byword among
all men. During his first administra-
ton. Mr.. Cleveland removed a district
attorney in Missouri because he was
trying to manipulate a party caucus.
At present the Secretary of the Inter-
ior, who in 1890 openly advocated the
Sub-treasury scheme of the Farmers
Alliance, is now beginning in Georgia
to cast his vote for sound money and
encouraging his subordinates by his
example to run the machine every
where.
1T may be that do not possess in
any way the confidence Of the National
Committee; for months past have had
no word from any of them. Possibly
YOU may have had. | can only say
that so far as | know, my relations
with all of them are pleasant, and if
because | propose to be a Democrat in
spite of the administration and its
syndicates. I have offended any Of
these gentlemen, l shall not, much as
regret the fact, make any eXplana-
tions. l am weak enough to believe
that I truly represent the Democracy
of Colorado, and that after all, is my
chief concern"

GONE WRONG.
A Shortage of $4,000 Found in the
Accounts of the County Treasurer
at IrOnton, Ohio.

Ironton, Ohio, September S.-A short
age of $4,000 has been discovered in
the accounts Of County Treasurer NJ. G..
Clay through the investigations of ex-
aminers appointed by Probate Judge
Russell in fulfllment of the statutes.
The treasurer admits the shortage, but
claims $4,000 Of the amount was lost by
the failure Of the Merchants Bank sew
eral years ago, and the balance was
missing when he assumed Office three
years ago. He has assigned all his
property for the benefit of his bondsmen
but the amount will not cover the de-
linQuency. Thus far no legal action
has been taken against him Expert
accountants Will be put in charge of the
treasury tomorrow.

HOughton, Mich, September S.-Huge
volumes of smoke are still issuing forth
from the mouths of shafts Nos. 1, 9
and g. which shows that the awful fire
which started in the OsceOla copper
mine shortly before noon Saturday is
still raging fiercely, and the bodies Of
the thirty miners entombed are still
lying somewhere below the surface
without a doubt dead, suffocated by
smoke and gas. Besides those reported
yesterday, the following men are
among the missing:
Frederick Peardon, Isaac Harlow,
Mike Volke, Isaac Mattison, Andrew
Rossawick, James Wins, NJ. Cook,
Samuel Williams.
Five Poles, whose names are un-
known at the headquarters, are also
among the missing. Captain F. Rich,
ards, with a gang of seven men, went
down shaft No. 8 and went about seven
hundred feet toward No. Shaft when
they had to turn and
FLEE FOR THEIR LIVES
on account of the smoke and gas. Soma
of these men were very nearly over
come, only reaching the surface in time
to save their lives. 1t is learned that
the place where the fire caught was the
worst place that it could have caught
in the whole mine and the only place
in the mine where fire of any extent
could have caught Many of the men
that were working several levels below
the twenty-seventh, at which place the
fire cSlght, were seen as far up as the
eighteenth level, working their way up.
! Several of the men who escaped claim
to have passed others on the ladders
that were unable to proceed further on
account of being overcome with smoke
and gas.
At the time the alarm was sounded,
| over two hundred were underground,
and ali
COULD HAVE ESCAPED
had they used the proper precautiOn.
Several miners in their flight passed a
| group Of seven Or eight who hal stop
ped to rest and were smoking their
| pipes. They seemed to be in no hurry
or think of danger. When told to hurry
| to the surface they remarked that they
had plenty Of time, and not one Of them
reached the surface The skips were
kept running up and down all day Sat
urday, in order to give any of the en-
tombed miners a chance to escape if
they would reach the skip alive. but
none came up. Another attempt will
| be made to reach the men tomorrow
! morning. There is no danger of the
bodies being burned, as it is generally
| thought that the men escaped from the
| burning shaft to some Of the drifts
leading to other shafts, and were over
come by gas and smoke before they
could reach
A PLACE OF SAFETY.
This being the case the bodies will be
recovered as soon as the fire is gotten
under control and the gases leave the
mine. The shaft has been surrounded
all day by thousands Of people, all hop
ing that some sign or word would be
gotten from the men, but have all now
returned TO their homes, fearing the
worst. All hope has been given up by
The officials Of ever rescuing any of the
men alive.

Lima, Peru, September S.-Lima pre-
sents a gay spectacle to-day, the festi-
val being in honor OF the assumption
of the Office of President by Senior
Nicol Piola, who was recently elected
to it. The streets are filled with
great throng of both sexes and of all
classes of people. The route to the
palace is lined with troops and flags
are flying from all points, while along
the streets at different points arches
have been erected. The houses along
the route are covered with gay wreaths
and bright flowers.
President Piola made an attempt this
morning to go TO the Cathedral to at

of enthusiastic people barred his pass

opinions nor contrary interests must

ArPEAL REIECTFD.

Washington, d. c.. September s.
The pension appeal of John Godfrey
has been rejected by Secretary Rey-
nolds. Godfrey served in Company E,
Third Kansas Volunteers, which was
called into service by the Governor of
the State. The Secretary holds that
no person other than the President of
the United States has authority to call
the militia of any State into the United
states service: and a militia organiza-
lion called into service by any other
authority is not thereby in the service
of the United States, for pensionable
purpose.
