Loss of Life,
JOHANNESBURG, Feb. 21.-The eXplo-
sion of dynamite which occurred at
Viedendrop, a suburb of this city,
Wednesday evening, was more dis
astrous than was at first believed.
Eight railway cars, loaded with dyna-

took place. At the SPOT where the
dynamite exploded hole 80 feet deep
was made in the ground and every

where several of them have died. Com
paratively few white people were
killed

THE plNGLEY BILL SHOULD DIE
A Measure Tha. Would Diminish Rev

a Measure Thai Would Diminish Rev
| enues.
The best thing that the house OF 1sp
resentatives can do with the free-s1lvcT
substitute that the senate adopted IN
place of the Dingley tariff bill is to vote
it down and let the whole matter drop
The Dingley tariff measure is not quite
SO mischievous as the free-silyer meas
rre would be, but it would do infinite
harm. 1t would disturb business, en-
barrass manufacturing and restrict OPP
portunities for employment.
The Dingley measure is not at all
necessary, even If it would accomplish
what is claimed for it. If it would IN
crease the revenue, instead of dimin-
ishing revenue, as it surely would do,
still it would be unnecessary, because
the present tariff law is producing a
ccnstantly-increasing quantity OF rev.
enue that will be entirely sufficient for
the government by the end of the fiscal
year.
The customs receipts for January
this year were $3.50, 796, those from
internal revenue Sill, 041 .401 and from

day for the &c business days in Janu-
airy. 1t is also s., O0o, 900 more than the
average receipts of the previous six
months. The January figures are far
more likely to be exceeded in the sue
ceeding months of the fiscal year, be-
cause the bulk of the sugar importa-
tions are made in the first half of the
year, and also because the internal rev
enue taxes are just beginning to pro-
duce what was expected of them. There
is every reason to believe that the total
receipts for the present fiscal year will
exceed $3.50, OOO, 900, against 1900, 900
last year. This would bring the de-
ficiency on the 3oth day of next june
within SIS ,0O0, 900 or $16, 100000, against
$42 ,O0o, 900 last year. and against S9o,-
COO, 900 in 1894, the last year of the Nc
Kinley law. This is a pretty regular inn
provement. 1t keeps up with the bust
ness conditions. Revenues increase as
business improves, which indicates that
with all its faults the Wilson bill is in
a general sense framed to tit the re-
quirements of the country.
Next year the receipts will surely
equal the expenditures, and in the sue
ceeding years there will be an excess
Of revenue sufficient to provide for the
payment of the government obligations.

Now that the excitement has
somewhat subsidized, it is generally con-
coded that Mr. Harrison's withdrawal
did not settle the matter.-Washingto

The boast of the republican partv
that it would provide the needed
oanaceas for our national ills will soon
be shown to have been as idle as the

attach themselves to the tail of the Nc
kinley kite and be in a position to ASK
for cabinet job after the nomination
has been made.-St. Louis Republic.
beyond all question Mckinley is
the logical candidate of the monopoly
party. And he is just the sort of can
didate that the democratic party would
be pleased to meet.-Chicago Chronicle

If the necessity exists for taxing
wool in the interests of the republican

SO well as McKinley.-N. \. World.

ever did before. They would not OBJ

they are doing very well with the pres

of tariff fixers as usual this winter, and
