The old adgae, ''misfortunes never

by the record of casualties during
the month just closed. The list
during the last two weeks has been
lost continuous. Within a period of
q week there were four mine dis
asters, at Pocahontas and Bluefelds,
w. Va, Telluride, Colo, and Wilkes
barre, Pa, in which fifty three lives
were lost Within the last four
days thirty persons were killed by
a boiler explosion at Detroit, an un-
known number, probably about
seventy five, by the collision on the
Wabash road at Seneca, Mich, and
probably about fifty more by the
sinking of the ferry boat San Rafael
in San Francisco bay on Saturday
last. From the fatality point of
view November has been the worst

Chicago Chronicle, DEM: Some
democratic newspapers are of opin.
ion that, in spite of the fact that the
party is in minority in both houses
of conrgess it should make an effort
at this session to accomplish legisla-
ton for the modification of such re-
publican as are inclined to follow the
leadership of Mr.. Babcock.
In the first place, there is no more
possibility of the success of such an
enterprise than there would be of an
attempt to revise the return Of the
late presidential election and declare
Mr.. Bryan the choice of the people.
In the second place, the experience
of thedemocratic party in attempting
to legislate on the subject of the
tariff without having actual control
of both houses Of congress has not
been of character to invite new ex-
periments in that direction.
While there is a respectable demo-
cratic representation in conrgess in
point Of numerous numbers, there
are few men in either house who
are rec ;3nized as leaders or as pos
sessing particular fitness for the
station which they occupy. Popu-
1ism has retired most democrats of
first rate ability not only from con-
gress, but from all other elective
Office as we'll.
The present congress is hopelessly
committed in advance to every bad
practice Of repu blicanism. No relief
is to be looked for at it's hands. Such
genuine democrats as have seats in
either party but by making no effort
to accomplish the impossible.
