their doors. This has occasionally been
relieved with encomiums on the wise and
economical municipal government with
which Newark is supposed to be blessed.
But alasI for the much vaunted
metropolis of the State In its own last
issue, the s'call'' is forced to emit as
dismal wall as ever went up from a
broken spirit. The pride of the "Call"
is humbled and the fair name of Newark
is dragged in. the dust
1t appears by its own figures that both
the property valuations and the tax rate
of this superiority economical municipality
will be advanced this year and that it will
be an advance sufficiently great, to cause
property owners and taxpayers to turn
pale.
According to the "Call's" figures, the
tax rate of the model of municipal econ
omy has been steadily growing in order
to keep pace with the constantly in
creasing expense of this perfect govern
ment'' At last the people are obliged to
ask where the increase will stop.
If the .fCall'' would devote little more
space to reforming the affairs of Newark
and let Jersey City alone, to work out its
own salvation, it would do much more
good than it is doing now.

A Hero of the Mine.

From the Salt lake Utah, Herald.
Heber Franklin. young man employed
at the Clear Creek mine. is as much a hero
as any man who ever braved death on the
battlefield. Franklin sought not glory, but
to save a human life. There was fire in
the mine. The men were called out Then
they were about to shut off the air in order
to stop the flames, when it was learned
that lone miner was working deep in the
mine beyond the point where the fire start
ed and was then raging with growing
strength. Here is the story of the subse-
quent events:
Foreman Thomas Immediately called for
volunteers to go with him into the mine to
rescue the man. Several attempts were
made by different ones, but they were
driven back by the flames, and the cry Of
PoWder! caused a hasty retreat. Finally
i1epef FRANKLIN young man whose work
Keeps him on the outside said: Il will
GO And accompanying Foreman Thomas,
ne pressed on through the fire and found
the man working away tanping a hole,
entirely unconscious of the danger threat
ening him. They succeeded in getting out
of the mine safely. when the fan was shut
off and the dip closed up. The rescue was
an act of great bravery on the part Of
Franklin, his work kept him on the out
act lay of the land inside, and the danger
of suffocation from black damp was great
He was the only man Of the many standing
by whose nerve did not desert him. 1t Is
stated upon good authority that ten min
utes more of lost time would have resulted
in the death of the miner who was at work
and possibly great loss to the company,
as the supply of air could not be cut off
while there was any hope of rescue, and
this would have tended to feed the flames.
