Method of rirlSg shots.

Tho advantages of the eieCtrlc methU' 5ver tho fuse method of shot firing fol sinking purposes art now generally al mitted. As an instance, a case may Ge taken where 20 shots have to be fired a, a distance of 500 yards frUm the sus fhcc. Each fuse has to bo lighted sepa rately by means of a redhot iron or by candles when the shots are lighted, aud the shot lighter has then to ascen9 the shaft by means of the winding engines. First be gets into tho trunk and then signals to the engineman. If the signal tnils or if the cngineman docs not un. derstand or if the engines, being short of steam. cannot raise the trunk of the bottom, the shot lighter has no escape from serious injury or death. There IS no fear of this when the electric shot firing method is used. as tho shots cat be fired on the surface or in the dyna mo room if preferred. Then. again, the fuse method cannot do as much work as the electric method for the same number of shots. as each shot Is fired separately, owing to their being of diff ferent lengths and other causes, and con
 sequently less amount of energy is brought into force on the rock. In the electric method, as all the shots arc fired at the same instant, the collective force is utilized and greater shattering effect is brought to bear on the rock. With electricity also there is less risk of OK plosion of gases: In regard to the rela
 tive cost of the two systems it may be said that electric firing is little more expensive than that by fuse, but it does about twice as much work. The actual cost of electric low tension detonators Is $52. 90 per 1000, while that ot det' onators and fuses for Il corresponding number of shots would be S50.S0

men and women for the government

$1,000 a year with liberal promo
tons afterward. All appointments
are for life and for most posi-
tons only a common school educa-
ton is required. Politics or reli-
gion is not considered. Those de-
string to take examinations of this
kind can get full information about
them free by writing to the Column

Is it reasonable to suppose tina
such Democrats as Judge Swig
CART. whose honorable career upor
the bench and at the bar has thor.
oughIy established his high sense
of justice and equity, and j. G.
Smith, the dean of law and politics
and one of the oldest and best
Democrats in the county or in the
State, and hundreds of other honest
loyal party men would sustain the
nominee of a Democratic conven-
ton, whose nomination was secur-
ed through treachery and fraud,
where no respect was paid to the
obligations of honest Democrats
Would these men support a law
yer whose professional career was
one of bribery and corruption!
We think not-in fact we know it.
If these things were true then the
organization and the men upon
whose shoulders rests it's character
and strength would, of course, de-
serve the severest censure. What
would become of party, society or
the moral fabric of any of our in
stitutions should such men as these
play the huckster with their digni-
ty and honor? Not only are all
these false assumptions, but the
gentlemen we have mentioned and
others who are sustaining the
DYersburg convention and its
nominee for Attorney General, D.
j. Caldwell, are far removed from
any connection with such alleged
illegal or questionable methods and
will be among the foremost to lead
the party and it's nominees as usual
to a successful termination at the
polls. We have shown heretofore
that Dock Caldwell was nominated
within the provisions of the call,
and as the party nominee should
have the support of every true
Democrat. We say with all fair
ness that we know of number of
honorable gentlemen who are OPP
posing him, but it is our opinion
they will find that they are wrong,
and we believe many of them will
before the day of election conclude
to stand by all the party nominees.

People are continually asking:
"What have the Democrats to offer
in place of the Republican policy
in the Philippines?" The answer
was expressed frequently during
the past session of Congress. The
Democrats would declare positive
ly and unequivocally that the
United States has no intention of
governing the Filipincs as an in
ferior race, and that, as soon as
the Filipinos have demonstrated
their capacity for self government,
they shall be given their liberty,
precisely as was done in the case
of Cuba.
Pension Commissioner Ware said

the fact that the man who must
depend on merit for his tenure of
Office instead of on ''political pull"
is the best man for the service.
