DREADFUL SLAUGHTER
OF Human Lives in a Nitro-Glyce
ripe Explosion at Cygnet, Ohio.

OF Human Lives in Nitro-Glyce-
riue Explosion at CyGnct, Ohio.
A terrible explosion of nitro-glycerine
occurred at Cygnet, Ohio, which resulted
in the death of six people who are known
anl others who ale not known.
The explosion occurred at a great well
located near the National Supply Compa-
ny's Office building, in the village limits.
The well had just been snot by Samuel
Barber. The we'll was gusher, and
when the l20 quarts of glycerine was let
down into the well and exploded, the gas
iSnited and with terrific roar the flames
shot high above the derrick. AS soon as
the drlle-S saw the flames several climbed
into the derrick TO shut off the gas, and
had hardly gotten there when there was a
terrific explosion. The burning gas had
started the remaining glycerine in the
cans in wagon near the derrick.
In another wagon near by, were some
cans containing another 120 quarts of the
stuff, and this was started by the force of
the first explosion. The second blended
with the first in a mighty roar and the
town and surrounding country for miles
trembled from the shock. The National
Supply Company's building was demOl-
ished, and nothing remains but big
hole where the wagon stood.

THAT DISCRIMINATING DUTY.

What will be known in our history as
''the discriminating duty of 1897 is
clause which seems to have been sur
reptitiously inserted in the Dingley-Al-
lisOn tariff bill without the knowledge,
as they aver of either Dingley or Alli-
son, or even of Speaker Reed, the Gar
Of the House of Representatives, who
was resting. in his official dignity and
fatness. under the erroneous impress
sion that 'he knew it ALL" and that
nothing could go through the House he
had gagged and terrOrized without his
knowledge and express permission. He
now insists, like President Grant, when
the latter signed in 1873 the bill de-
mOnetiZing silver, that he didn't know
the pesky thing was in the bill. 1t
is the excuse of the small boy makes
when he pleads that he didn't know it
was loaded
The discriminating duty of 10 per
cent is 10 be levied at all Custom
Houses. in addition to The regular tariff
rates, on all goods brought into the
United States from foreign country,
in which those particular goods were
not produced. 1t would naturally inter
fere with the trade carried on with
Japan, through the Canadian transcOn-
tinental railroads; and with the goods
brought to New York from Buenos
Ayres in steamers sailing under the
flag of Sweden and Norway.
This blunder of the legislative body
has caused much botheratiOn in the
Treasury and Law Departments ut
Washington, and those functionaries
who are experienced in cOnstruC ton
have all been called upon to cons true
the new regulation. All agree = t it is
chiefly aimed at the Canadian railroads,
and that "sOme enemy. has sneaked
the provision into the statute. And
now it has also been concluded that the
clause is invalid as against goods
brought by sea in foreign vessels of
most of the European countries. with
whose governments ours has treaty
stipulatiOns which cannot be broken. So
that the whole matter -7ould appear to
be involved in an ineXtricable confu-
sion, and it may be, as in the case Of the
Income Tax, the administration may
have to resort to the courts, anu ask the
judges to tell it what to do.-New York

Under threats of this kind enough of
the labor vote was cOerced into Repub

Presidential chair. To-day the labOrer
is confronted with demand to submit
to reduction of wages. The President

work than heretofore, and are com.

now he has to pay dollar for the same
quantity that seventy-five cents would

go up because of the beneficent Dingley
tariff. and, in fact, almost every neces-
sity of life is going to cost more money.
But let the wage-worker dare suggest
