The terrible mine disaster at Browns
Vile, Pa, yesterday morning, was the
most serious OF this nature that has
occurred for long while in the West
ern Pennsylvania coal field. 1t Is the
old story of the explosion of gas and
fire-damp in n shaft mine, with a large
number OF men imprisoned. 1t is an
other reminder OF the perils to which
the men who work under the ground
are constantly exposed The lot of the
coal miner is not the pleasantest and
tho Eafest lot In the world.

Mr.. Roots Special Requirements,

The New York Sun gives. in a nut
shell, the special qualifications of Hon.
ElIhu Root, in response to some criti-
cisms to the effect that 1t is doubtful II
the new secretary of war possesses
them. The Sun thinks that he has lot
of them, in the list being: brains;
force of character: honesty of purpose;
uncommon experience of men and the
ways of men; congenial and carefully
trained faculty for doing things in the
right way to produce the desired re-
suit" The Sun properly suggests that
these will do to start with. and Mr..
Root may develop some more special
qualifications later on. HE is a very
energetic person; and the best thing
about his handspring is that it Is regu-
lated by a well-ndjusted escapement."
This is a brief summary that should
be sufficient reply to all objections ex-
pressed. The talk about special quail
lficatIons" in view of the record Of Mr..
Root, and his splendid abilities is en-
tlrely unnecessary. Advance criticism
in such a case is pretty apt to prove a
chicken that will come home to roost."

In three straight heats the Shamrock

doubtful. Such preparation lad been
made aud sach expense incurred by
Sir Thomas Upton on his beautiful

perts feared lest he should carry away

proved IN every way the better g7i!er,
aud also the better boat, for she passed

has failed. Contrary to former e1-

NOT OYERPRODUCTIoN BUT UNDER
CONSUMPTION.

The most universal theory Of the
cheapness of cotton last year was that
Of overproductiou. The remedy for
such siseaFelt is claimed is dmi-
mutton OF the yield so as to cause
! scarcity. Let US see where this doc
q :rire of oyerproduction carries us. III

slarter crop should be still more

But his gain is made at The expense

I'D Of cotton as 5escre, his sggre-
F. is no greater. He mEst pay
eTice as much for all that he buys,
.csuse all othea. producers have cut
d half their sapp.y. Now, the whole
world will be twice IS poor as before;
for it Will contain only half as much
Of every kind of products as it had
before this wonderful plan Of getting
rich by not producing was conceived
and executed. By this simple process
Of reasoning we reduce this great IayE
Of overproduetion to an absurdity.
The difficulty is not thst the farmer IS
producing too much cotton. These IS
enough potential dem aud in the world
. enough naked Philippines, ragged
darkies, and dilapidated hnderwear-
to use all our cotton crop twise over.
This demand is not efectua3 because
