PERILS IN COAL MINING.

More than two hundred lives out Of total
of fewer than three hundred men employed
were lost in a firedamp explosion in a coal
mine in Wyoming. Are certain people who
have been asserting again and again that the
dangers to coal miners are no more serious on
the average than to other classes Of wage
earners wholly sincere when they talk in that
way?
Official statistics of coal mining in America
and Europe and in other parts Of the world
do not support their contentious.

Democratic party to enact such leg
isIation as is now suggested with
out the fear that the vote of 1OO,-
600 negroes would be used by a
dissatisfied element to defeat the
party. That fear has passed, that
danger no longer exists, that
threat no longer disturbs.
There is no danger to the Demo-
cratic party in passing advanced,
effective temperance legislation. If
there is, it is a thousand times
better to lose votes than to suffer
the dictation of distillers and sa-
loon men, OF any other class of men
who put their profits above the
best interests of the youth of the

drink away from their children. IF
you enact effective legislation to
close the country stills and sa-
looms and open the way for the
people OF the cities to regulate the
matter as the majority NAV de-
cide,-if you do this wise and great
thing, the Democratic party may
/ lose some votes and it's supremacy
/ may be endangered in some close
counties, but for every vote lost by
advanced temperance legislation,
there will come aid and deliverance
from other quarters. The anti
prOhibition-Libera1-RadicaI fiasco
in 1884 was a monumental success
compared to the movement that a
few distillerS and saloon keepers
may inaugurate to punish the
Democratic Legislature for doing
| the right thing.
Once the late Chief Justice Mer-
rimOn-one of the greatest and
noblest names that add 1ustre to
North CarOlina's glory-was asked
by friend: Don't you think adj
vocacy Of prohibition will injure a
mans prospects for political pre-
ferment?"
The great man paused a moment
before replying, and then said: TT
depends altogether upon what Of
flee you are a candidate for. IF
You are a candidate for township
constable, it would probably de-
feat you. IF you are a candidate
for a position calling for ability of
high order, do not think So"
And then Judge Merrimon spoke
a parable, as his after career IL
Illustrates. When he was a candi-
date for Associate Justice and at
forwards for Chief Justice, what
vote did he lose because he had
bravely and nobly espoused the
cause of prohibition when he knew
that it would not command the
vote of majority of the people?
