THE so-called National Democratic
committee is to have meeting soon,
not to devise plans for the campaign OF
1900 or to consider the situation in the
light of current events; but to lay plans
for the denomination of Col. Bryan and
the reaffirmation of the Chicago plat
form. Never before was a meeting Of a
committee held in the interests Of can
didate and to compel the adoption Of his
views. The party should be above the
personal ambition of any man and should
not exist as an agency to further his
schemes for individual advancement.
When it comes to that pass democrats
will not be bound by name when prln-
chile is discarded.

PAUL SCOFIELD, son of Governor SEQ
field, died at Madison on Thursday last.
He had been sick with consumption Of
the lungs for the last two years. One
of the disagreeable features of politics
was the injection Of Paul Scofield into
the campaign of last fall. The boy was
going to his death and was unable to
work though he did not resign, This
matter was made one of the issues of the
campaign, very unfortunate issue as
the event proves There was no thought
of cruelty. The pathetic side of the af-
fair received no attention. Hardly one
of the speakers or newspapers which did
SO would have mentioned the fact if
they knew Paul .Scofeld was warding
off death temporarily.

THE hasty adoption of revision OF
the statutes results i'll many errors and
Inconsistencies. In the statutes of 1898
the law relating to the drawing of juries
says that publication of notice is not
necessary and elsewhere makes publica-
ton obligatory. The law formerly dis
qualified those convicted of an infamous
crime from serving on jury. The pres
ent statutes make such conviction an
exemption, thereby comforting favor
on felon 1t is quite probable there
are many other inconsistencies.

A BIG strike is on at Buffalo and every

to be quite tense. The difficulty arose
from the refusal of the contractors TO
discharge the men who had taken the
place Of the strikers. Business is also at
a stand still in the coal and ore docks.
Theeffects of the strike will be fur-reach-
ing if it be continued and there seems
to be every prospect of that at present.

JOHN KELLEY of The juneau Tele-
phone is what is called in common par
lance square man and has a large
degree of intelligence. This makes IT
all the more surprising that he should
oppose the tax commission The fact
that taxes are not equitably distributed
is proof that something outside OF the
present system is necessary. We want
a thorough investigation so that we may
proceed ON lines of approved good ]udg-
ment and intelligence. The farmer Is
as good tax dodger as there Is. We all
are SO in more or less degree. 1t has
become the custom and the man who
does not d. lge tax paying if he can Is
regarded as fool We all believe the
railroad companies and other corpora
tons are not paying their share. We
want this thing proved and then act, and
our action should be direct and sum
mary. But let us have facts which no
one can gainsay Complaints are but
a poor basis for intelligent procedure.

VICTIM OF CARELESSNESS.

Last night Coroner Phil Julien investi-
gated the death of Frank E. Parker, the
mar who was killed in the West Colusa
mine yesterday morning. AS lone of the
witnesses saw the accident the testimony
was circumstantial. Andrew Fleming, a
carpenter, was in the 1,000-foot level and
saw the body falling down the shaft. He
made an immediate examination and
found the man was dead. G re-
Nicholas Williams, the engineer testi-
fled that the cage was being hoisted from
the 1000 station. When the cage reached
the 500 station he felt a jar and believing
something had happened stopped the
cage until he received a signal follower.
Later. he received the danger signal and
was told that Parker had been killed;
knew Parker by sight only.
William Fame, pumpman. testified that
he went down or the cage taking with
him. among other tools a bar of iron. AT
the 1.OO0-foot level he met Parker, who
told him he wanted the cage. Parker
then began to remove the tools from the
cage but evidently forgot to take the bar
of iron out. The bar was left standing
in the cage. e 81
In the opinion of John Miles, foreman
at the mine. the bar had met with some
obstruction and the cage assembled, and
Parker was thrown out, striking his head
on the center piece. The testimony was
practically the same as the account Of
the accident published in the Inter Moun
tain yesterday.
The jury returned the following verdict:
"That deceased came to his death in
Meaderville township, Silver Bow county,
Montana, by having his brains crushed
out in an accident in the shaft of the
West Colusa mine. Meaderville township.
said county and state. and from the evil
dence we, the jury, further find the said
accident to lave been the result of care
lessness on the part of a fellow employee,
for which we do not believe the manage
ment of the mine was in any way re-
sponsible."
