An Engineers Narrow Escape

The Arkansas City Traveller tells of
the narrow escape of an engineer
from death, in Mondays issue;
Engineer Jim Phillips went south
last Saturday with the passenger. He
returned Sunday night and had to
face a hard wind all the way up. His
engine pulled out of Purcell over an
hour late and was three hours late
when it got here, The increased de.
lay was the result of an accident at
Edmond. Near the depot at Edmond
are Santa Fe coal chutes. Jim was
in his seat when he went to 90 by
them. When too close to stop he saw
that one of the pans was down and
extended across the track. He had
just time to put on the air and slide
off his seat when the engine struck
the pan. 1t went crashing along
above the boiler and tole off portion
of the ceb, and. very fortunately,
both Jim and his fireman escaped in
jury. The engine was disabled and is
now undergoing repairs"

For Home Rule.

The Topeka Capital, the recognized
champion of prohibition in this state,
comes out in an able editorial de-
nouncing the metropolitan police law
and declaring in favor of home rule
for cities of the first class. 1t says:
The metropolitan police law has
proved such monumental failure
under Republican as well as Populist
administrations that the Capital hes.
itates to criticise Governor Leedy for
merely repeating the mistakes of his
predecessors, but he has made polit-
ical mistake in appointing police
commissioners in cities of the first
class, and it is to be hoped that this
blunder will not take on the proper
lions of crime by extending the met

ropOlitan law, as has been suggested.
to other cities of the state.
There was but one reason for the
enactment Of the metropolitan law,
and it is the only possible excuse for
continuing the law in force. 1t was
enacted as radical measure to com
pei the observance of the prohibitory
laws in cities that could not enforce
the laws through their local police
powers. 1t was designed as a desper-
ate remedy for an acute case. The
legislature which enacted it recogniz.
ed that it was skating on thin ice when
1t deprived any city Of home rule, but
lt believed that diseases desperate
grown by desperate appliances are re-
lleved, Or not at all. When the state
went to the extent, therefore, of
placing its own police in charge of a
city government, it was with the ex-
cuse that the state laws must be
strictly enforced, at the cost of tenn
porarily depriying the city Of its local
right Of self-government.
But the metropolitan police Go not
perform their duties. In the main
they make no pretense of enforcing
the prOhibitOry law and in this situa-
tion no excuse remains for the state
usurpation Of municipal powers. The
original reason for the enactment OF
the law is forgotten and we have
drifted into condition of affairs 10
which the state assumes the police
power, not as Temporary exigency
but as matter Of course, and on gen
eral principles.

Our Legal HOLIDAYS.

The new holiday bill. which has been
passed by both branches Of the Lcgisla-
ture. and which will doubtless meet
with the prompt approval of the
Governor. makes the following changes
in the existing law:
February II. Lincoln's birthday, Is
made legal holiday for the first time.
The third Tuesday Of February,
election day, is made Il full holiday in
stead of "a half-holiday. as was provided
by the Act Of Assembly Of May %, 1893.
Whenever May 30. Memorial day,
shall occur on Sunday. the following
day. Monday, is to be observed as the
legal holiday, instead OF the preceding
day. Saturday. as was the case hereto
fore.
The first Monday Of September is des-
ignatcd as Labor day, instead of the
first Saturday of September, as was the
case under the Act of Assembly OF May
81. 1893
The eject of these notifications will

Ask an Advance.

The miners employed at the Fair
mount Coal and Coke Company's
mines at this place have asked for
an advance in wages and are at present
out, awaiting the action Of the company.
We have gathered the following from
the miners standpoint. On account Of
the condition Of the mines the men say
they have been working under difficult
ties. They have only three and one-half
feet Of coal aud from one and One-half
To three feet Of bottom. About two
months ago the rate was fixed at ~
cents per ton, and Sl.60 per day for
driving entries. the men furnishing
their own tools and powder. Up to
last fall the price was 81 per yard and
10 cents per net ton. On Thursday of
last week the men were asked to work
for 10 cents per ton and no yardage. a
committee was sent to the officials to
ask for better terms. to whom the oili-
cials offered Il rate of ~ 90 per yard and
~ cents per ton for entry work. The
miners held meeting on Saturday
evening last and declined to accept the
proposition from the company and
agreed to propose the following: That
they will work for 81 per yard and 30
cents per ton for loading out of the en-
tries. This proposition was not accept
ed. The miners later made the follow
ing proposition: To work for % cents
per ton for room and entry and $l.lO
per yard for entry or at ~ 60 per day as

Governor Hastings has vetoed the bill
to allow common school-houses to be
used for Sabbath-school and religious
purposes. His objections to the measure
are that it is local or special legislation
and is in conflict with the Constitution.
The Governor says it is matter of
common knowledge that in many places
school houses are used for Sabbath
school purposes, and the conducting of
religious services, but he does not deem
it wise, Independently of the Constitu-
tional question involved, to place upon
the statute books any legislative
authority for the use of public schools
for any other purpose than those for
which they are created.
