A Sermon From a Mine.

The newspapers Of the country have
wed with each other in their efforts to
impress upon their readers the awful
death of the ill-starred miners of Coal
Creek. Sermon after sermon has been
preached through the press, but the
best one that has fallen under our no
tice is from the Cleveland, co. Press.
The Press takes the incident of that
band of miners, writing to their loved
ones in the presence of death for text
and says:
How do brave men die?
What are the thoughts that I'll their
minds as they pass from this world in
to the next?'
The graphic story from Coal Creek,
Tenn, where 227 lives went out in
mine disaster, equaled in dramatic in
intensity and religious fervor the sub
lime passing of VIM, Mckinley.
Down in a corner of coal mine,
deep in the bowels Of tho earth, penned
in, beyond all possibility of rescue,
was q little band of miners.
Can you imagine a more awful situa
ton, more chilling, heart-clutching
scene, with hours and even minutes
numbered?
The one great thought in the minds
of these dying men who were gasping
for pure air was of home and loved ones,
of mothers, sisters, childlen who were
soon to be robbed of their protectors.
And these brave men sat them down
and in the dim, trembling light Of their
candles scrawled their pitiful messages
to those bound to them by ties of
blood. They were literally messages
from the dead, voices from the tomb
and there are tears in every line and
sorrow almost glorifed in every word.
| And the messages were love. The
great hearts throbbed with it. The
men who spoke of themselves as we
speak of the dead poured out tender
ness "Take care of the children, "
said one; "My little Eddy, goodby,"
wrote another; "Raise the children the
best you can, still another, and one
was addressed to "My darling mother
and sister, and said "Tell friends not
to worry over me.
Not a word of complaint, not syl-
liable of fear from these rough, uncul-
tured heroes of the mines.
Don't you see how approaching death
wipes out everything except hope and
love? Quarrels are forgotten, jealous
les perish and hatred dies, and there is
left the supreme desire to kiss the lips
of dear ones once more and to express
the love that leaves the heart only as it
ceases to beat.
But there is more.
You will not find mubh religion in

Convention and Platform.

The Democratic State Convention,
which met yesterday, finished its work
well, nominated by reclamation q can
didate for governor, who will be easily
elected to that high office, and adopted
platform that cannot fail to meet the
approval of every good democrat in the
state. 1t is matter of interest to no.
tice the large attendance at the conven-
ton. The fact that this is an ff-year
in politics and that Mr.. Frazier had no
opposition in his race for governor or
dinarily would seem to tend to reduce
the crowd at the convention. On the
contrary, the crowd was unusually
large and enthusiastic. What is more,
it was thoroughly representative, or
derby and sensible convention. 1t was
composed of the best and most intelli-
gent men in the state, who appeared to
be in earnest about the work of the
convention. Another good sign was
the presence of q number of democrats
who have not been wont, during the
past few years, to affiliate closely with
the inner councils of the party. Sew
eral of these democrats made rousing
speeches, showing the manifest ten
dency of the times for democrats to
bury their minor differences and get
together.
Criticism of the platform will, Of
course, be made by several of the daily
papers in the state that have been out
Of line with the party for some time.
In the main, we believe that the plat
form will be satisfactory to the ma
jority Of the democrats in Tennessee.
1t is not to be expected that the plat
form will suit every one The declara-
tons in regard to national issues are
sound and in line with the best demo-
cratic thought of the day. In state
matters, it may be said that during the
past few years democratic administra-
tons have inaugurated certain reforms
which are showing splendid results.
All these reforms are indorsed. One
good local feature is the declaration in
favor of the revision of the mining
inspection laws. The recent mining
disasters in Tennessee have been hor-
rible in the lives they have cost and
the families they have rendered desti-
tute. The investigation of the causes
of the catastrophes have not yet been
thorough enough to show exactly
where the blame lies, but the next leg
islature will do we'll to look closely in
to these laws and revise them in some
manner, so as to secure the greatest
protection for the men who work amid
such danger The platform, in brief,
makes the following declarations:
Against trusts and high protective
tariff that fosters them.
Against the ship subsidy bill.
Against the administration Philip
pine policy.
Against the growing tendency to
nilitarism.
Against extrayagant expenditure of

They don't stop to puzzle over thelogi-
cal questions or biblical errors when
they are gasping for breath
No sermon that was ever preached
told more of the sustaining power of
religion than do those letters from the
men who in life were patient average
human beings, and in death sublime.

public moneys.
In favor of the Nicaragua Canal to
be constructed by the United States
government.
Sympathy for the Beers.
In favor of liberal commercial rela-
tions between the United States and
Cuba.
Endorses the last state platform.
Endorses the administration of Gov
ernor McMillin.
Felicitates the state on the reduction
of the state debt.
Fayors equalization of the tax bur-
dens of the state,
Fayors development of public school
work.
Fayors better road laws.
Against the repeal of the state rail
road commission law.
Favors the union label on state
printing.
Fayors revision of the mine inspec-
tion laws.
Favors a state fair.
The declaration against trusts is es-
pecially strong and occupies a foremost
place in The platform. The present in
dlcGtions point to the trusts, and the
tariff wall that protects them, as the
chief issue in the next campaign, The
control of the government by the re-
publican party has resulted in legisla-
tion that has built up and fostered vast
combinations of wealth that have now
become so bold as to put almost pro
hibitive price on some of the very ne
cessities of life. The region Of repub-
licanism has become Synonymous with
a greed that knows no bounds. Leg
islation in favor of certain special
classes is the rule of the hour. Re
publican prosperity means the pros
perity of the few at the expense of the
masses of the people. The "infant
industries" that have been protected
have grown into giants which now dc
not plead for protection, but which
demand it from the party they supply
} with campaign funds. The people are
growing restless under this burden
They have been reared on the prin
ciple that there should be no taxation
without representation. They apply
, this theory of government to the com
mercial world and demand that the,
be represented in the business life o
the country, if they are to be over
h taxed by exorbitant prices.
v In regard to the policy which thi
administration has pursued in the Phil

strong statement of the democratic pc
sition. 1t is pointed out that tn
