MIR. Cleveland is eminrmtly fitted to
instruct Princeton students how to cut
loose from the Scnate's apron strings
Nashville American.
Mr.. Cleveland had Congress OH his
hands at times when he was President.
In his lecture at Princeton he had Con-
EN-presidcnt Grover Cleveland in the
first of his two Princeton lectures on
the independence Of the Executive took
ground which hardly conforms TO 4Ad-
miral Dewey's idea that Il President has
nothing to do but execute the laws OF
Congress.-Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle.
1t was a thoughtful exposition of the
place of the Chief Magistrate i'll u
scheme of government, and while pr0ba-
bly, finding no part of it's inspiration in
a recent puerile estimate of the duties
and responsibilities of that high Office,
came almost as a rebuke of that extrnOr-
binary utterahce.-New York Mail and
Express.
That Il Democrat OF so great ability as
Mr.. Cleveland should publicly advocate
a change in the method Of electing a Pres
ident which would ignore entirely the
State lines and make him the choice of
the majority of the voters, regardless Of
the choice of the States, indicates how
fur the national idea has progressed and
how far the idea Of u federation of SOW
ercign States has been forgotten.--Brook-
Ign Daglc. ~
The presidency, to reach the level of
its highest usefulness, must be strong
and independent within the limitations
which the constitution prescribcs i'll con-
ncction with the Office. The lndepcn-
dcnce of the Executive" was illustrated
in IL most interesting and conspicuous
manner by Grover Cleveland for eight
years. There is no man bcttcr qualified
than he to discuss that Instructive topic.

A Dozen Workmen Injured,
Five Seriously.
AN EXPLOSION SHAKES PITTSBURC.
HeartrendinE Scenes About the
Shops While Searching For VIC
tims-Cause of the Distressing
Accident n Mystery.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 30.-The steel de-
partment of Philips, Nimick q Co.'S
rolling mill on West Carson street was
completely wrecked and a dozen men
were injured by the explosion of bat
terry of four large boilers. The shock of
the bursting boilers was heard through
out the lower end of the city, and several
thousand people were attracted to the
scene of the accident. The loss to the
plant will be enormous.
All the injured men were quickly re-
moved from the ruins. Five were mutt
lated almost beyond recognition, and one
or two more deaths may result. The in
jured were taken to a temporary hos
pital and local physicians were summon
ed to relieve their suffering. a rcscuing
party then went to work searching the
wreckagc which it is supposed entombs
others of the workmen.
The explosion was one of the most ter
rife that ever occurred in a Pttsburg
mill. The roof of the boiler room was
completely lifted from the building, and
the flying iron and steel fell in all direc-
tons. Heavy beams and portions of the
masonry were thrown from the founda.
tions. The men were crushed to the
ground on the spot where they were at
tending to the rolls, and those beside the
boilers were scalded by the escaping
steam. The bodies Of the men were so
burned and begrimcd that they were
scarcely recognizable.
The families of the workmcn who live
in the neighborhood realized tie extent
of the accident the moment the thunder
Of the explosion was heard, and women
and children rushed at once to the mill,
crying for their loved ones who were be
licvcd TO be buried beneath the ruins. 1t
was impossible for the cooler heads to
keep back the torrent of humanity that
surgcd UP to the gates, and for time

The mill had been stopped over Sun
DAY. and the boilers had just been fired
preparatory to starting the mills again.
More than 100 mon were standing about
ready to go to work when the explosion
occurred. One of the boilers rose on end
and sheet of flame shot out of the fur
mace door, completely cnveloping the fire.

Tic cause of the explosion cannot be
