Besides being cut and bruised by

with the exception of Mrs. Bryon and

the victims had both hands literally
parboiled off at the wrists. Surrounding
the works are Il number of small dwell E

pany. 1t was in one of these that the
Bryon family lived. Mrs. Bryon was in
a second story room nursing her bab%.
ana at her feet sat two CT hCr other
children. Half the boiler was hurled
through the house by the force of the
explosion. The mass of iron struck
Mrs. Bryon and the babe az her brea t.,
crushing in the infants head, and then
fell through the cellar carrying down
the woman and her children in the
wreck. The two children on the floor
escaped with slight injuries. but Mrs.

WHAT is SELF DEFENCE.

A great change has been made in
this law since Blackstone wrote.
The old rule that a man must re-
treat is greatly modified and in a re-
cent case in Philadelphia tried be-
fore Judge Arnold he says that the
rule "that man who is assaulted by
another must submit to the assault
and retreat until he can retreat NO
further, or retreat to the wall, as ii
is called has been superseded by a
more sensible rule, that a person
who is attacked may oppose force by
force and advance in his defence ii
he deems it necessary. Persons are
no longer under an obligation to
submit to beating, when by de-
Tending themselves they may avoid
harm. They may return blow for
blow, and it is now agreed that re-
treat is not obligatory. This is wise
and Just.

People used to wonder what they
would do for fuel when the forests
were gone, and how they would see
when the candle burned out. Coal
solved the fuel problem, and gas,
kerosene and electricity the light
question, ,and now some are speculat-
ing what will become of the country
when the coal is exhausted. A
naval engineer in France may have
settled the matter by inventing
compressed oil cake, one ton OF
which is equal to thirty tons of coal.
This product is smokeless, free from
dirt and is especially adopted for
the ocean steamers and locomotive
engines.

It will be too one-sided this fall for
much fun. The Democrats have been
fearful the Republicans would not
be sound on the money question and
now they are in state of agitation
lest Mckinley should be unsound
on the tariff. They have no fears
for their own party. It is on the
right side of all questions. It's fu-
ture is giving them no con-
Germ whatever, and in fact
they are not much interested in
their candidate. They are tired of
this political business and expect to
retire from it this fall for many
years to come. Well the country is
tired too and more than anxious
they should.

Editorial.
A FREE SILVERITE.

Senator and Judge j. Anson
Mcbride, of Sussex county, N. j., in
an interview recently published in
the Independent says:
"I am an out and out silver man.
I assert that the st. Louis Conven-
ton dare not declare for an absolute
gold standard and Mckinley s
strength lies not only in his tariff
but his friendliness for silver. AS a
farmer, l believe this single gold
standard as administered for years,
has been and is the curse of the ag-
ricultural interests of the country,
forcing down land and the produc-
tions thereof until bankruptcy and
ruin stare the great agricultural in
terests in the face.
The Chicago Convention will
doubtless declare in emphatic terms
for free silver, and with candidate
like Boies, of Iowa, or Campbell, of
Ohio, on the strict issue of either a
gold platform or a straddle, the Dem
ocrats will scoop the country.
Wall street will dictate neither
nomination and there will be no
secret bond deals for years to come.
Class legislation and the grinding
down of the toiling millions will
have to end and the general public
welfare more carefully considered.
Neither do I think such men as
Senators Cameron, Teller, Carter,
Vest, Harris, Turpie and Blackburn
are cranlZs or fools, nor do believe
a man worth millions, interested in
all grades of securities, who openly
advocates free coinage of silver,
thinks for a moment it will destr oy
his fortune or depreciate his wealth.
The men who advocate change
in our financial system have shown
quite as much ability and states
manship in national councils as those
who say they are fanatics and fools.
One thing is certain-times can t
be made any worse and the expert
ment is worth trying. =
The gold men say: money never
went so far as now," but as a
shrewd son of the Emerald Isle once
remarked, {" The divil of it is to get
Tue uOucJs
The coming campaign will develop
some startling surprises. i"
While we do not subscribe to the
views above expressed it is apparent
that there is among the farmers a
deep-seated and widespread feeling
on this question. The past four
years have been so depressing on
agriculture that the farmers are
reckless for relief, in 1892 they
turned TO the Democratic party be-
heving that the promises it made
would be fulfilled, and that tariff
reduction, would relieve them of an
oppressive toll, and enhance the
value Of their products.
In Just what way it was expected
this would be bought about was not
clear, but they wanted a change
and got it. Now finding that their
last state is worse then the firstI
they are again casting about for

remedy. Judge Mcbride touches the
nerve of the matter when he says
the difficulty is TO get the money to
buy with, but the other side after
all argument and demonstration,
may be briefly summed up by ask
ing how is the condition of things
improved If it takes twice the
amountIof money TO buy the same
thing ? There is an impression that
the debtor class, which is very large,
could more easily liquidate their OBJ
legations, or in other words pay
debts with cheap money, but the
fallaoy lies in the fact that the credi-
tor class controls the money and
will continue to do so. Should free
coinage be established our country
would become the dumping ground
for the silver of the world, while all
our bonds, payable in gold, now
held abroad, would be promptly
presented for redemption. Gold
would all go out, prices would go up,
and the farmer wishing to buy a
pair of boots would require cart to
transport the money to pay for
them.
There should be no change in the
existing monetary standard of the
United States. Except by interna-
tional agreement. What the coun-
try needs is sound money, and a
tariff sufficient for revenue, Incl
dentally protecting American in
dustries. With these the farmer
may be assured times will brighten
and his lot become easier and more
satisfactory.
