100000 TONS AT A BLAST.
$50 Kegs OF Powder and Four
Tons Of Dynamite Exploded in
a Granite Hill


Rockland, Me-. Nov. 4.-The
most stupendons blasting operation
known In the East was the lifting
of a hill Of granite at Long Cove
today. The explosion was like an
earthquake. Since d December last
there has been drilling into the
mountain a tunnel SO feet long,
with arms SO and 80 feet long. In
this tunnel cells were constructed
for the explosives. The work OF
building the tunnel was delayed by
the foul air, for a match would not
burn a few feet inside the entrance
The loading Of the cells.occupied
two days. FIVE hundred and fifty
kegs of powder and four tons OF
dynamite were placed in total
darkness, for to use light meant
too many chances against the lives
of the workmen. Charles SAuler oil
Granlteville, NJ. al expert in big
granite blasting superintendent the
blasts.
Scores of conspicuous graDite
men from New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago and st. Louis arrived to
day, and 5000 persons from all
parts OF Kncx county gathered on
the billsides. at l O'clock mounted
men closed all avenues OF approach
and warned all persons within a
quarter of a mile to seek safety.
At2 o'clock James Smith, son OF
the superintendent Of the HurTl'
cane quarry, pressed an electric
button and a puff of smoke was
followed by the lifting, high in air,
of the huge bluff. One hundred
thousand tons OF the finest granite
had been exposed, and crevices
200 feet long and 3 feet wide were
seen in every direction. Tie shock
was tremendous in one direction,
but hardly perceptibIe toward
Rockland. The explosion cost
80 coo and made sevcable $780,
900 worth of granite.

The cleo tions are over and the
people have had their say. All
good citizens bow sObmisively to
the will of the people. If they
agree with the decision, they re-
jolce; If they do not, they blde their
time and look forward to the day
when a change OF sentiment will
come as it always does. The fact
that the American people do not
always vote the same way Is one
of the surest guarantees of the
perpetuity OF republican govern
ment.

Money In Walnut Trees.

The editor of the Press, puOllsh'
ell at Rlleigh, N. c., sold a walnut
tree recently for S7S. He gives
this bit of advice to the public;
"PIant waInuts friends, plant wal
nuts. You can plant 10 trees on
an acre and it won't interfere with
farming. Ia 20 years time the
trees will be worth S75 each. You
can get one years growth by plac-
ing the walnuts on smooth ground
and covering with thin layer OF
dirt. then when they have had
about two freezes they will crack
open; then the first warm spell

field, $50 to the acre. The walnut
enrlches the soil aud soon you Will
have a fine field fit for cullvatlng

nuts will also be increasing in
value at the rate OF ten cents per
tree each year to a certain
period. when it is augmented In
almost geometrlcal proportions. A

The Downfall ofthe Bosses.

Toe Danvile Va, Times says:
"Senator Calvin Brlce of Ohio, is
quoted as saying. "The results of
the elections of 1895 make 1t almost
certain that the nominee of the
next republican national conven-
ton will be elected President!
There are Just thousands Of demo-
Gratis IN this country who do not
agree With Mr.. Brlce but who
agree, with a somewhat emphatic
unanimity, that the results Of the
elections of 1895 make it absolute
ly certain that millionaire political
bosses who use the party for their
own selfish purposes have had
their day in the democratic party
and the places that know them
now shall soon know them no more
forever. If the downfall of such
bosses as Brlce aud German does
not in the end prove a blessing 10
the party, we shall be greatly
surprised. The blessing may not
materIalize and fully develop in
time to save the next democratic
candidate for the presidency, but
1t will come sooner or later. The
campaign of protest against boss
rule has been fought out to its
local end, and the blessings must

It Settled Bossism.

The Democratic Ledger, Unde'
pendent democrst,) Havre de
Grace. says: "The election was the
most desperately contested politi-
cal fight ever held in the state OF
Maryland, aud the people have
undertaken to manage the affairs
of the State and have shown that
a dictator is not needed and his
services can be dispensed with. II
this IS not true demecrrcy and the
people OF Maryland shown to be
democratic, then democracy and a
government by the people are not
synonyms. The election settles
for all time the belief entertained
by party leaders that their dictum
is law, and IN their utter disregard
of principle and platforms, the
thro.tling of the will of the people
and the ignoring OF the honest
fulGllment OF the duties of high
office, they have brought doHn on
their beads the crushing bow of
an inconsed people, who have
ceased to look for any goo at the
hands OF those who, Of their own
accord, assumed the whip hand
only to have the Il Ill snatchei from
their grasp aul tdrnel upon
them"
