THE SECOND VICTIM
LIEF GOULD NOT SURVIVE
THE SHOOK.
He Was With Jack Mcclure when the
Fatal Cave Orcurred-The shock WAS
tenn.

William Lef, the second victim of the
Summit accident. died at the Madison
house Wednesday evening. Lef was a
very superstitio man and it is a
curious fact that his death occurred lust
l3 days after his removal from Summit.
1t will be remembered that Lef was
working with Jack Mcguire on the i'll
fated night of Tuesday, July 2lst, in
the Summit Placer Mining Company's 8
tunnel, when a fall OF ground occurred,
burying both men. Mcclure was hor-
ribly crushed and instantly killed.
The men were working in the face of
the drift and cracking timber warned
Lef OF the coming danger. He sprang
back, and had almost crossed the
danger line when the ground came
down. His head was protected by
some broken timbers. while his body
was imprisoned by the debris. His
situation was such that while he was
pinned down by heavy weight of
gravel he could talk with the rescuing
party. After three hours hard work
he was rescued, and his injuries were
found to consist of bruised elbow.
At first it was thought he was injured
internally but subsequent developments
proved the fallacy OF this theory. But
the shock to his nervous system. badly
organized as it was. was something
awful. and combined with a natural
timidity, did the rest If there is such
a things as being frightened to death,
this was the cause of LET'S death. He
was brought to Virginia. where the
best Of medical care availed naught.
The mans will power was gone, and
the physical forces. dormant through
lack of aid from the mental forces. re-
fused to do their work. When the
man was conscious he constantly harbor-
ed the thought that he had received
injuries and that he could not
recover. When he was unconscious,
and such was his condition most of the
time. he believed himself under the
debris in the mine, and would scream
from fright at his fancied imprison-
ment.
LEI was native of Nyhobby, Soc
keat, Finland, where his aged mother
resides. He had been sailor and a
few years ago visited two sisters who
live in Mendocino County. California.
There he took up placer mining and
three months ago drifted into Virginia
City. and had been in the employ of
Mr.. Henderson ever since. He was Q
of Swedish benevolent
society in San Francisco, which institu-
tion will be notified of his death.
Mr.. Henderson states that Lef was
. good, steady young man, paintaking
in his work and very faithful. He WAS
but u years OF age. The funeral oc-
cured yesterday from tho Episcopal
being conducted by the Rev.

AGITATION OF THE MONEY CUES
TION SHOULD END.

1t would be of immense benefit to the
business interests of the country If the
national conventions os both political
parties. soon to meet, should take strong
and decided ground in favor of sound
money and against free silver coinage.
Such position, deliberately and firmly
assumed by the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties, would practically settle
the question and go far toward restoring
confidence in quarters where it has been
impaired and where 1t is of the greatest
Importance that it should be restored.
The money question should not be in pol
itics at all. 1t is not to any extent in
any civilized country except the United
States, and experience has demonstrated
that 1t ought not to be here. The none
tary system of a commercial country
should be as firm as a rock, as solid as
the everlasting hills, and as far removed
as possible from all disturbing influences,
and especially from the influence of pop
ular clamor. The credit and the business
of this country have suffered beyond all
calculation from various agitations of
the money question. They are suffering
now from the free silver agitation and
will continue to suffer until the question
is definitely, permanently and rightly set
tied.
The action of the Republican corven-
ton on this question is plainly foreshad-
owed and practically determined. The
substantial unanimity of the various
State conventions and of the party press
and leaders leaves no doubt on the SUBJ
ject. The ST. Louis convention will
adopt a gold standard anti-free silver
coinage platform. and will expect its nom-
inee, whoever he may be, to stand square
ly upon 1t with both feet. In other words,
the Republican party will do its best to
effect right settlement of the question,
to put an end to agitation and bring
about a restoration Of confidence and
prosperity.
The attitude of the Democratic party is
very different, and the action of it's con-
vention exceedingly doubtful The party
Is split wide open on the silver question,
both factions are struggling for the con-
troll Of the Chicago convention, both
claiming that they will have it, and both
threatening to bolt If the opposing fac
ton succeeds. Thus, whatever the out
come may be the Democratic party
promises to maintain its record not only
as the enemy of sound money. but as the
promoter of dangerous agitation and a
chronic hindrance to business prosperity.

Whoever the Republican national con-
vention may nominate for President will
be placed upon a sound-money platform,
which just now means a declaration
against the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and such legislation as will pre-
serve the full purchase power of the sill
yer now in use. That is practically BIZ
metallism, since any policy of coinage
or legislation which will cause one metal
to be placed where Ii cannot be used as
money is monometallism. The Republic
an party is the only sound-money party
in the country. 1t has given the country
national bank system and a limited
national paper money and specie pay
ments under conditions which doubled
the volume of money in the country. 1t
is the only party which in its national
convention will declare for sound money
by practically unanimous vote, since
the few votes for free silver will be those
of the silver producing States.
AS for the Democratic party, all the
States which can give electoral votes to
dency have declared for the free coinage
of silver. They are the States OF the
South. In it's national convention tine
Democracy will not be able to declare
for either sound money or free silver

that organization. The chances Tow are
in favor of the silverites, but # the

The admirers of Mr.. Cleveland are
making special claims that he represents
sound money of the soundest variety.
He has declared against the free coinage
of silver. but he has more emphatically
declared against greenbacks, which he
would retire with an issue of bonds, thus
contracting the volume of the currency
hundreds Of millions of dollars. Nor IS
this all; the President would practically
wreck the national banking system ty
permitting banks under national char
tiers to issue circulating Noes upon their
assets and by repeating The tax OH The
circulation of State bank, SO that in
brief space of time the county would
be cursed by paper nonay issued by
State banks under the regulation of the
States. Such a policy the President adj
vocated in his latest official statement,
and such a policy the Democrats STATE
convention in Massachusetts has IL
dorsed. Instead of the national currency
of greenbacks and national bank notes
which the Republican party has provided
the Cleveland end of .he Democratic
party would give the country state
bank currency over which the United
States government would have no con-
troll Such a change would be nearly
as disastrous as the FIRE coinage IF sill
ver The Cleveland Democratic 'currcn-
cy reform would be as destructive Of
the best interests of the country as its
tariff reform has proved. In fact, the
synonym for the word reform. when
used by the Democracy, is destruction.

REsrRIorIoN OF I,IMIGRATIoN.

Congressman Stone, of Pennsylvania,
author of the immigration bill bearing
his namey has written a letter in reply
to criticisms of the bill by German
newspaper in his district. The object of
his bill is to restrict pauper immigration
to the United States, most Of which
comes from countries of southern Europe
or from Poland and Hungary, and little
or none from Germany. The German
newspaper referred to had stated that
German-Americans generally were OPP
posed to the bill. Mr.. Stone expresses
doubt of this, and says one of the pro-
prietors of the newspaper is agent for
several steamship companies engaged in
bringing German immigrants into this
country, and is therefore not an impair
tial critic. He adds:
l do not believe that the ma
jority of the intelligent German
Americans Of this country desire 10 see
the shipping of such large numbers of un-
desirable immigrants into this country con-
tinue. The Germans are frugal, saving,
Woodworking class, and make good Amer
lean citizens. The immigrant pauper labor
er from southern Europe enters into direct
competition with the German laborer. as
well as others here, and gluts the labor mar
ket. This is what keeps the price OF COM
mon labor down. and puts it at the mercy Of
capital. 1, with many others who have
been working ito restrict immigration, am OF
German descent, and have common right
to speak for the German-Americans. Those
engaged in the business of bringing cheap
think that il they array the German-Amer-
leans against the movement to restrict inn
migration they will so frighten the two
great parties in this country that they will
not dare TO pass a restrictive law.
One is at a loss to see why any class
of American citizens, native or foreign
born, should object to the exclusion of
pauper laborers. and Mr.. Stone is prob
ably right in supposing that majority
of German-Americans do not. A Berlin
cablegram in the Sunday Journal stated
that leading paper Of that city had a
long editorial warning Germans against
immigrating TO this country and giving
extracts from the annual report of the
German Society of New York. referring
to the increase of the number of igno-
rant immigrants from Italy, Russia, Po-
land, Ireland and Austria, with whom,
the report adds. the educated German
mechanics cannot compete because they
are used to a high standard of living.
This shows that the German Society of
New York is opposed to pauper immigra-
ton, as doubtless a majority of intelli-
gent German-Americans are.
