LIFE IN THE GRAVE.
Doctors Say There Is Little Danger nj
1nterment Before Death.

Doctors Say There Is Little Danger of
Interment Before Death.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer
There have been many dispatches In the
newspapers lately about persons being pre-
pared for burial before life was extinct
though. unfortunately, complete recovery
never took place. There is widespread
belief among ignorant persons that there is
considerable danger that a person may be
inferred awe, and some are haunted by
horror over such prospect. There have
Deen many gruesome stories told of such
occurrences and there are instances where
pooles nave been disinterred and seeming
evidence found Of struggle in the grave.
This has been the subject OF careful study
by scientists. and the best authorities agree
that there Is scarcely well-defned case of
this sort. and that in any event there is no
returned in case life was not totally ex-
tinct at the time of burial. Indeed. it is
now the almost universal custom that a
corpse is injected with embalming fluid.
so that If there were spark Of life left it
would be extinguished. There are those
who think that il is a difficult thing to
determine when life is entirely extinct and
that there are states of coma so closely re-
sembling death as not to be distinguished
from II. This Is an error. There are times
after death when chemical changes do seem
to impart glow to the cheeks, but this Is
not caused by returning consciousness.
1t Is because this subjeq is SO important
to many persons that We desire to impress
upon them that the chances of premature
burial are so insignificant as to be utterly
unworthy of consideration 1t is true that
after accidents from lightning or drowning
animation Is long suspended, and that res
toratlon Is often a matter of hours, but un-
der normal conditions there is about as
much chance of being buried alive as there
is of being translated. Those nervous folk
who brood over this possibility should be
reassured. Death seems to us terrible
thing. and SO much do We fight against it
for ourselves and our friends that the body
is seldom consigned to the grave until
death is as certain as the fact of birth.
We have yet to learn of one authAntic
case where person was buried alive by
accident and ever regained consciousness.
Though the world is full of false tales of
such things.

9 The new unionism abandons restric-
tions on the employer in the matters of
machinery. division of labor, discipline of
the establishment and speed Of work. The
employer becomes free to manage his own
business and to introduce any economy or
Improvement.
3. But the union strives to share the ad-
vantages of machinery, division of labor
and business organiza ton by directing its
attention to shortening the hours of labor
raising the minimum day wages and regu-
lating the piece prices. Shorter hours se-
cure all the advantages hoped for from re-
striction of output, and, besides. are the
necessary compensation for increased In
tensity of exertion.
4. Hours and wages are controlled on the
only basis on which they can fairly be con-
trclled namely through conferences of the
representatives of labor and the represent
atives of capital for the entire competitive
field Neither the employer alone fixes
them ncr the labor union alone, either OF

sentatives of each agree In conference.

mckinley did IT." but nevertheless
,his party. by the Legislation
they have put upon the statute
books, by the confidence they have in
spired In the stability of business con.
ditlons, by the wisdom with which
they have handled difficult situations,
have been altogether the most impor.
tant factors in all this growth and
prosperity.
Mckinley has been criticised by the
opposition for his Opportunism, and
many n cartoon has ridiculed his re-
spect for the will of the people and
called him man without n backbone.
Just as many critics have shrieked
that he was preparing despotism and
making ready to march to absolute
power over the ruins Of freedom. The
same criticisms were made of both
Washington and Lincoln. To the oppo-
sition Of his day, Washington was n
poor tool of Hamilton's, not knowing
his own mind until his secretary of the
treasury made 1t up for him; and he
was also bent upon turning the Repub-
lie into a monarchy and establishing
absolute power on the ruins of the con-
stitution. To the opposition of his day
Lincoln, at first, was an ignOramus, an
ape, a babboon, and the radicals of his
party were going to ride over him, and
Seward was to be the real president.
Later, Lincoln was n tyrant, n despot,
who utterly disregarded the constitu-
tiOn and murdered thousands of Amer
leans for the purpose of consolidating
his power. Really the opponents Of
Mckinley do not believe what they say
about him MS much as the opponents of
Washington and Lincoln believed what
they said about those presidents. 1t
IL hardly too much to say that the
President has no personal enemies in
the country; and that he has the re-
spect of all the intelligent and fair
minded members of the opposition
party. This Is one of the most remark
able personal triumphs which any
president has achieved; and 1t has been
won not only without the sacrifice Of
any principle or any abandonment OF
party allegiance, but rather by n high
and consistent regard for both. Mr..
Mckinley Is the President OF the whole
people, without being any less Re
publican than when he was pushing
the Mckinley tariff bill through the
House of Representatives. He has won
the regard of the opposition without
alternating any friends Of his own
party. II he has risen to emergencies
he has helped his party to rise with
him, and he was never more thorough
ly representative Of 1t, or more loyal
to 1t, than he is to-day.

SUMMARY OF THE WORK OF
THE COLORADO LEGISL AZURE

The regular biennial contest be-
tween the House and the Senate is be-
ginning to show signs of life. 1t is
said that resolution is being framed
to be introduced in the House asking
the Senate to pass n few House bills
and get them to the governor.
Senate bill No. 9, by Mr.. Rush,
amending the constitution and permit
ting the consolidation of the city and
House by Il vote of Al to Z. Eleven
members were absent or excused. 1t
Is now in the hands of the governor.
George L. Ross-Lewln of the First
National Bank, Denver, testified be-
fore the bribery investigation commit
tee that he knew of no combination
among bankers to defeat section for
ty-seven of the revenue bill. No men,
Der of the House had offered to defeat
the section II bankers would form n
combination of enough money. The
First National had not been solicited
for funds to defeat it.
In the Senate on the 18th instant,
Senator Taylor asked unanimous con-
sent to introduce resolution indOrsing
the action of Senator Carter of Mon
tana in preventing the river and har-
Dor appropriation. After some debate
1t was refused. A message from the
governor was read stating that he had
approved and filed S. c. X. 6, regard
ing the portrait of Otto Mears being
placed in the capitol dome.

In the House on the Sth instant the
special features of the day We're the
discussion on constitutional amend
ment bills. they having precedence on 1
the calendar.
Senate bill 1 Bucklln). the Austria
lasian tax system, was supported and
opposed with spirit. The author of
the bill was present. Mr.. Lubers had
never become convinced that the sys-
TEN. as applied to this county, is wise.
In New Zealand, where Its success Is
cited, the revenue derived from that
source was but six or seven per cent.
of the total. That country had excise
and other duties which could not be
used by state or county. If the sys-
tenn were adopted here the tax on land
must be increased many fold, because
no such excise and other duties could
be used to make up the necessary rev.
enue. He was not certain he would
vote against 1t now, but he gave notice
that unless he received more light he
would oppose 1t on third reading.
Mr.. Mclean was opposed to the prin-
ciple and would vote against it. Mr..
Meredith said he should not discuss
the merits of the system. This bill
proposes to submit to the people the
question whether the constitution shall
be amended so that any county may
try 1t or not. He believed in home
rule. and even If opposed to adoption
of the system would support this bill
because it referred the question to the
people. Mr.. German advocated 1t on
the merits of the system. MFR. Bartels
doubted its adaptability to established
institutions. Mr.. Martin supported II.
Mr.. Neeley opposed it. as 1t permits the
exemption Of certain corporations and
combinations from taxation. Mr..
Montgomery advocated 1t on the broad
principle that 1t referred to the people
the question of choosing or rejectinpl
Mr.. Riley opposed 1t on principle.
The bill was finally recommended
for third reading.
