POWDER MILL EXPLOSION.
Second Fatal Accident at the Latin &
Rand Works at Dover, n. ].


Dover, N. j., July 12.-An explosion
at the works of the Leflin & Rand Pow
der Company in Pompton Lakes, to-
day, killed fifteen men, among them
several soldiers, who had been detailed
to guard the powder works. A short
time ago there was an explosion which
killed six men.
Since the outbreak of hostilities with
Spain, Col. Lee, Of the Third New
Jersey volunteers, and a battalion of
his regiment have been stationed at the
works to prevent their destruction by
spies. The camp of the soldiers has
been close to the powder plant. The
guard was being maintained as usual
this morning. At IL o'clock there was
terrific explosion, which shook the
buildings and scattered the troops and
employees. Fifteen men are reported
to have been killed and many soldiers
and employees had wounds, some quite
serious. The officials of the company
at once sent a special train from Den
yer to the mills and the wounded were
Immediately placed on board to be re-
moved to the Patterson hospitals for
treatment.
The military formed in line and stood
guard about the plant and refused to
allow any one to approach the works.

1t is probably long since Admiral
Cervera and his officers and men re-
ceived such good treatment and fare
as they are receiving as prisoners OF
the United States. 1t is probably a
great relief to all of them after recent
experience except the gray-haired Ad-
miral, who seems to be broken-hearted
at his defeat and loss of his vessels
Cerve-a is a brave man and gallant
sailor and the government may show
its appreciation of his fine qualities by
placing him upon unlimited parole.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.
PECKSNIFF COMING ROUND.

Driven from it's position that 1t is
preposterous to claim that the horde of
undesirable citizens we acquire with
Hawaii will ever be American voters,
the Intelligencer assumes a less dog
matte and more reasonable attitude
when it says:
The matter of the government of Ha-
wall will be a subject for congressional
legislation, and if the Register has any
idea that any such conditions would exist
as it depicts 1t has a poor appreciation of
the wisdom of the representatives of the
of new acquisition. This feature of the
question is still in the future.
But why is the Register "unreason-
able" in predicting that these highly
undesirable people, who are not fit to
be citizens, will be made voters?
Is it at all out of line with
the policy of the Republican party in
such matters or with the experience of
the country with the party and the pol
iticianS who put the ballot into the
hands of the utterly unfit freedmen
of the South? Indeed, the Hawaiian
horde, half savage, mongrel and highly
Objectionable from ever point of view
as they are as citizens and voters are
to-day probably as we'll equipped to be
citizens as the freedmen of the South
were when the ballot was placed into
their hands-placed there by designing
Republican politicians, who foresaw
what lever it would give them to de-
feat the will of the intelligent voters of
the country, for which purpose they
have used this vote ever since in push
ing through their political schemes.
We have even a worse and more I'M
scrupulous class of Republicans with
us in power to-day than we had then.
They will control the affairs Of Ha-
wall, Of which they design to make
another Republican rotten borough,
and Il they shall ind 1t necessary in

It is wholly on account of the men in

this saddling onto the army the political
debts OF every politician who has any in

The mistake of APPOINTING such men TO
responsible stiff positions has already
been shown by the slowness of the equip
ment of the army in the field, and the
suffering of the men after they get to the
front. 1t has been the fault of incompe-
tent officials appointed froRa civil life to
pay the political debt of some Congress

happened. and the service is bound to
suffer as long as those fellows are in 1t.

WHAT DOES LABOR THINK OF IT?


The Hawaiian job has another as
pect which has not been generally dWelt
upon, but which is of considerable I'M
portance and is interesting especially
to the workingmen of the United
States who have so strenuously and
righteously opposed the importation OF
cheap and degraded contract labor into
this country.
The labor on the sugar plantations OF
Hawaii is of the lowest and most de-
graded order. Americans cannot work
under that tropical sun and the labor
is herded there like cattle under con-
tract and is composed of coolies, kan
akas, etc., the lowest types of labor In
the world.
And American sugar labor, as for
example in California, Nebraska, Lou
isiana and Mississippi, is now brought
into open competition with this cheap
and degraded contract labor, for we
can now impose no tariff on Hawaiian
sugar for purposes OF artificial protec-
ton.
How does American labor like the
idea? How does it like this deliberate
open-eyed action of political party
which has always made the loudest
professions of it's desire to protect
American labor from just such degrad-
ing and unjust competition?
1t is not surprising, however, be-
cause it is no new thing to those who
are conversant with the characteristic
insin cerity of Republican politicians.

Magnificent Publication Upon the
South.

The wonderful progress which the
South has been making in all lines OF
industrial, commercial and intellectual
development has been most fittlngly
set forth in q magnificent volume,
which, after months of careful prepara-
ton. has just been issued by the South
ern Railway.
Empire Of the South" conveys an idea
of its character, is beyond question
one of the most comprehensive and at
the same time artistic publications ever
issued from the press. 1t contains
nearly two hundred octave pages, over
four hundred exquisitely printed illus.
tratiOns, and makes Il presentation OF
Southern interests in all linesOf human
activity, which for thoroughncsS OF
treatment has never been approached.
The opening chapter of the book
under the caption of 'rhe South, Yes
terday, To-day and Tomorrow" dis
cusses in broad and forcible manner
the present and future OF the Southern
States, treating at considerable length
the various interests, such as agricul-
tnrc, cotton, tobacco, iron, coal, resorts,
climate, etc. Following this are chap
tiers devoted to each OF the States south
of the Ohio and Potomac, and east OF
the Mississippi Rivers.
These give Il brief, interesting sketch
of the early history of each State, and
then touch upon all its important ac-
tivitics, showing the progress being
made not only by the State itself. but
by the leading cities.
The author of the work, Mr.. Frank
Presbrey, is IL close student OF Southern
progress, and IL the collection and pre-
paration of the immense amount OF I'M
portant information given in the book,
has had the cooperation of the officials
of the Southern Railway. The distrl--
button of this magnificent volume will
do an incalculable amount OF practical
good in calling the attention OF the
world to the South, and the Southern
Railway has demonstrated its faith in
the future of that section by the eX,
penditure of the many thousands OF
dollars which this great work must
have cost. Those who are fortunate
enough to receives copy Of this edition
de luxe, which is sent with the compll-
mcnts of the company, willprize it as a
most valuable addition to their library.

A Delightful Occasion.

MIR. EDITOR: AS per announcement
in the INTELLIGENCER, Mr.. Aida l..
Smith delivered his eloquent lecture,
Light and Shadows" to an intelligent
! and cultured audience last Saturday
evening ut Welcome Academy. 1t
| looked like some ''Arabian Nights" en-
tcrtainment, as the lamps cast flicker
ing shadows on the wall, and long be-
fore the hour arrived, the house was
filled with happy, expcctant faces,
though it was raining.
When Mr.. Smith appeared before the
audience silence reigned supreme.
The audience knew there was Il treat
in store for them and they were not
disappointed, and when he began in
his happy -go-lucky, style he charmed
the audience and held them captive.
1t was with the greatest difficulty
that he was induced to. get up lee
ture. He is of shy and retiring dis
position, and finally he was induced to
appear on the rostrum by the entreatlcs
of his many friends. His ability as an
orator has long been recognized by orr
people, and wherever he is known he
is loved and admired. He is loyal and
true to his friends, and he tries to gain
the good will OF every one he meets.
He is very bashful, and his greatest
desire is to be left alone where he can
without mOlcstation pursue the even
tenor of his way. Unlike most young
! men he cares nothing for society. We
! have known him to stay away from
parties to shut himself up in his den to
read and write.
We! but voice the sentiment OF every
one who had the good fortune to hear
, him that it was the best discourse we
ever listened to. He had his audience
laughing and crying by turns. His
imagery is sublime and his word
painting magnificent. He would carry
the audience with him on his "pega-
susr and soar to the stars and ramble
through the temple of fame, then he
would drop them in some happy cabin
in the dells of our beautiful Southland,
and, in cracker dialect, relate some
anecdOte. which would cause peals OF
laughter to burst forth from the audi
ence. He was at his best, and as the
silyery cadence of his voice, in sweet
modu1ations almost died away in some
pathetic and soulstirring scene, the
spectators wept tears, for he had un-
consciously touched a tender chord in
their heart. He was frequently ap-
plauded. A lady paid him a high COM
pliment. She remarked in our pres
ence: Mr.. Smith reminds me OF the
immortal Calhoun. remember hear
ing Mr.. Calhoun speak at Pendleton
when was a girl, and Mr.. Smith re-
minds me of that time by the feeling
and power with which he embellished
his subject. He is truly the rising
Calhoun of OUR grand old State, and |
wish there were more such young men
as Mr.. Smith. AS the crowd were dis
persing we heard a matron address her
spouse thus; "Now, Silas, ii | was Il
gal about sixteen, l would surely set
my cap for that fellow Smith, for ne Is
the smartest chap that has ever been
in these parts"
A nice little sum for the Winnie
Davis monument was realized.
