Charged With BEING to Blame for
the Marion Explosion.

MARION, ILL.,. Sept. 25.-The dead
and wounded have all been taken from
the mine where the explosion occurred
yesterday. A complete list of the dead
and mortally wounded follows. Dead:
Frank Farrar, italian, single. John
Suffer- the last man taken from the
mine, mortally wounded Peter Cas-
par. Russian; G. Geneti, italian; Joe
Barlow, American. The six men who
were less seriously wounded will all
recover. AS the result of today's in
quest, the coroners jury held Davis,
the superintendent of the mine, partly
responsible for the death of these men
and committed him to the county jail
to await the action of the grand jury.
He was released in bonds of $4,000.
The feeling against Davis is very high.
many of the miners say that if he had
done his duty and complied with the
rules the explosion would have been
avoided.

Book by Col. D. M. Fox, purports to
be "a symposium constituting a bime-

net-sized engraved portraits of promi-
nent workers.
According to its author, "The Silver
Side is. "a guide and text book for the
consideration and elucidation of the
present issues, and perhaps of others
to become more or less prominent, in
the coming three years contest"
The work is dedicated to the six
millions, five hundred and eight thou

lean citizens who, disregarding former
party affiliations, in the presidential
campaign of 1896, voted for the free
coinage and use of silver on equal
terms with gold, and especially to the

leader of the bimetallic forces, making
the most remarkable canvass in the
countrys history"

The labor unions in London have ac-

country, says the Carpenter, the Official
organ of the national organization of
carpenters for the United States.
Every piece of work done for the city
of London has this stipulation: 'The
trades union price shall govern all
wages paid" Nearly all work is done
directly by the city; the men select
their own foremafS who gives bond
and receives only the same wages as
the others, the city looking to him as
security for the class of work done
The lowest bid from contractors for a
sewer in York road, London, was $751;
600, the city did the work itself for
$4,000 and paid $175 per day, when the
contractor paid $1.25 for similar work
The work was claimed to have been
done better than was ever done under

finds that it is merely fight Of greed
for more molasses
Taking the view point Of the ortho-
dox protectionist he can see nothing in
consistent in the position taken by the
men who are taking their stand for
protected hides. He searches the Koran
Of protection in vain to find reason
why wool should be protected and hides
not, and, reasoning from general prin-
ciples in the absence Of dogma, con-
cludes that no distinction is laid down
because there is none. Nor can he see
any force in the contention of the shoe
makers that the tax on hides would
not benefit the farmers but would be
appropriated by the owners of the big
abbatoirs, because these same shoe
makers protest that they only want a
tax on imported shoes in order to en-
able them to pay higher wages to their
working people, and he knows the lat
ter have to fight to get or hold what
they have. If the shoemakers appro-
pirate to themselves the gain Of taxa
ton, why should not the big Four?"
And again, we have been having pro-
lection for the shepherds for many
years, and how much Of it did they
ever get?
But, leaving out all considerations Of
financial gain, accepting the assertion
as true that the tariff does not in
crease the price of things fairfield, and
regarding it merely as a system to be
maintained and nourished because
Henry Clay and Horace Greeley bap-
tized it ''the American system" and it
has come to be national fetish, still,
from the changed view point, it would
seem as if consistency demanded that
everything possible Of being protected
should be, and that there is a sort of
give-away to the whole theory when an
article like hides is left unsheltered,
or woods are not given all the protec-
ton they need. And as to the latter,
who is so competent a judge of the
amount as the men who grow them?
Do not the glass and pottery and wool
ems and cottOns men, each and all
scout the idea that any one, even the
wise men of a ways and means COM
mittee or of the house or senate, know
or can know how much protection
their products need as do they who
make them? Isn't Judge Lawrence as
competent on wool rates as Havemeyer
is on sugar? And what is the use of
having blankets for cold nights unless
one has enough Of them to keep warm?
Where is the consistency Of making
one poor infant industry sleep under
one, another under half dozen and
still others without single blanket? 1t
Is not consistent and it is not a square
deal.

1T LOOKS CONSISTENT.

1t is difficult for any one to change
his point of view and take that of
others, but it can be done and the eff
fort is worth making. The Democrat

prise him for its inconsistency in the

flicting interests not satisfied with the

rates elevated. His motive and theirs,
he finds, when he has changed his point
Of view, differ radically. He finds that
the shoemakers merely want their ma
terial at as low a cost as possible, while
they want ample protection for their
shoes. He finds that the woolens men
are similarly motived and are equally
insistent that the fabrics they weave
from the wool shall be abundantly for

AT THE THEATERs.

The second week of the vaudeville season
large audience An entirely new bill was
offered. which averaged in point Of en-
PERTAINING qualities, as high as that of last
week. The acts that met with the most
favor were contributed by Wood and Shep-
ard, the black-face comedians and musical
mokes; the Leigh sisters, a vivacious pair
of young women who execute somersaults
with facility that rivals the Frenchy flavor
of their dancing, and lastly, by Prof. Macart
who introduced an aggregation of dogs and
monkeys capable of almost any human per-
Torrance except speech.
Wood and Shepard are black-face entertain
ers OF the first order. They present COM
bination of musical eccentricities and com
1cal turns Jokes and gags, that will dis
turb the gravity of the sourest dyspeptic
Their act is not only clever and original
but is commercially free from a suspicion
or coarseness or vulgarity AS for the dog
ana monkey circus, under the direction of
Prof. Macart, it is a novelty we'll worth see
ing. and bound to be great feature of the
matnees, for it will throw the children into
ecstasies Of delight.
Another novel speciality Of merit was pre-
sented by Miss Gertrude Haynes, who, with
the aid of ingenious musical continuance
described on the bill as a grand concert
organ built expressly for her, performed
several musical freaks. That this device was
built expressly for Miss Haynes she dem
onstrated unanswerably by playing on it
with her nose her right elbow and with her
hands behind her back. Her concluding eff
fort was by far the most meritorious as
she played with much spirit a medley in
Guiding portions of the Poet and Peasant
and William Tell overtures, a selection
from I'll Trovatore" and a number of popular
songs.
Ozva, the juggler, who was down for thel
first number on the programme did not
reach the city in time to appear last night.
His place allotted to Chris Goeghringer,
banjoist, whose performances were greeted
with hearty applause.
Montgomery and Stone did a black-face turn
which, in point of some eccentric dancing,
was above the average. Their dialogue is not
OF the brightest order nor as free from
coarse suggestion as it might be- The Bison
City quartette is a collection Of gentlemen

carpets, such as mattings. In many
hoasenolds the wool carpets are put
away for the summer, and the cool
appearing mating is laid in their
place, its cheapness combining with
the suggestion of GOODNESS to make
their summer use quite general. So
the carpet maker saw in the cheap
mattings that come from Japan and
China formidable rival against which
the Dingley bill must guard him. Ac-
cordingly mattings are transferred
from the free list and put on the taxed
list at cents square yard if val
ued at 10 cents a yard or less, and rs
per cent additional if over 10 cents.
In the twelve months ending last De-
cember there were imported 952,S14
rolls Of this mating, whose value was
$2,9o6,374, or $3.05 roll, making the
yard cost, at an average of forty
yards to the roll, about 71A cents. The
tax proposed is over 100 per cent, and
will double the retail price as it dou-
bles the wholesale cost of mating. The
housewife, seeking escape from advan-
cling price of two-plys, will be met
with a doubling Of the price of the
substitute, mating, and, if compelled
to buy some floor covering, may con-
clude that, relatively, the wool carpet
is the cheaper. And so it comes about
that Shepherd Lawrence's assault on
the third-class woods reacts in making
twice dearer the price Of India mat
tings, under the operation of the COM
pensatio of Dingleyism. But what
a delightful old humbug it all is.
