ALARAMA TO TIE FRONT.

Alabama promises to achieve an enviable

cases are being triedn before Judge Jones,
former Governor OF Alabama, and the leaders
in the prosecution are also Southern men. We
notice a disposition on the part Of some Ala

1ude of suspicion toward the federal govern
rnent and the direction of the investigation from
the Department of Justice, and disposluon TO
resent criticism of the general condition or al
fairs revealed by the crime. They show, now
ever. no desire TO excuse the slave drivers, but
denounce them as vigorously and sincerely as
any one could wish.
This is a hopeful sign, quite in contrast with
the frequently observed rally Of the respectable
white elements to prevent punishment or those
who wrong negroes. So also in the action or

Still another source of trouble Is the design OF
the so-called safety lamp used in mines. The
old Davy device was long ago discarded for
this reason, and suspicion attaches to some
of the alleged Improvements on it. In En-
cheering for June this year for instance
there was an elaborate discussion Of a colliery
explosion in South Wales. for which the most
rational explanation was a defective type Of
lamp. Owners of American coal mines would
do well to examine the article referred to. since
it may suggest possibilities of mischance
which they have never considered. Some day
an electric light operated from a pocket stor-
age battery may be perfected for miners. The
thing has already been tried, but it is not all
that could be wished. Until such a lamp is to
be had the old kind must be used, and better
guarantee against accidents from it must be Sc
cured.
Concerning the number of persons who were
killed by Tuesdays explosion there may be IN
certainty for several days. CIT of the whole
$50 men who went into the Hanna mine that
day less than fifty had been accounted for at
evening. and it was inferred that the rest had
persisted. Death on such occasions generally
results from one of two causes. conclusion Of
the brain or suffocation. The first would act
almost instantaneously, but it would affect only
those nearest to the scene of the explosion. The
other would operate more slowly. its influence
diminishing with distance Though the neces-
sary delay in penetrating 10 the inner recesses
of the mine is highly dscouraging, the lack of
definite information justifes hope that some
of the imprisoned men may yet survive

THE QUESTION SETTLED.

II the "Staats-Zeitung" expresses the views Of
the German population of New York on the sub
ject of the study OF the German language in the
public schools, we congratulate our German fel-
low citizens on the philosophical way in which
they have concluded to accept the result of the
controversy. But we wish that in accepting
the situation they had omitted to stamp the act
Of the Board Of Education as prejudicial to the
interests Of the school population. When the
controversy began, when the method of instruc-
ton in the German language in the public
schools was changed, it became evident that
there was no intention on, the part of the Board
of Education TO deprive children who wished 10
learn German Of instruction in that subject, but
they did not wish the study forced upon any of
the children. 1t was also shown that the Ger
man-Americans who acclaimed the loudest
against the wrongs ito large part of the popu.
lation," and who wanted the authorities 10
maintain in the pupils of the schools an inter
est for the German language were themselves
unable to accomplish this end in their own
homes.
The question has now been settled No change
will be made in the course Of study as adopted
German will remain an elective study, but twice
as much time will be devoted TO it by the stu
dents who choose it as was given to it under
the old rule. Those, therefore, who wish 10
study German will have increased facilities,
and those who do not desire to study the Ian
guage will not be compelled to do so.

COAL MINES AND SAFETY LAMPS.

The explosion which occurred at Hanna.
Wyo., on Tuesday belonged to a group Of acct
dents which, in spite Of all precautions yet
taken, continue to embarrass the industry of
coal mining Most of them are attributable to
gas, although It has been observed that coal
dust occasionally proves an important factor.
Where both causes operate no doubt the gas
ignites first but dust is likely to magnify the
effect. Hence sprinkling is thought TO be al
most as necessary as ventilation IN a well regu-
lated mine In the press dispatches which de-
scribe the disaster. mention is made only of
firedamp but it is not incredible that an addi-
tional element was at work. II is said that
the sound OF the explosion was heard three
hundred miles away!
Rarely is it possible to obtain positive Gy1-
dence Of the manner in which the gas in a
mine is ignited. In a few instances there is
reason to believe the miners have been TO
blame It is known that they smuggle in
matches TO light their pipes and try TO make
an ilIegitimate use OF their lamps for the same
purpose. Not infrequently the mechanism for
expelling foul air is at fault In the past the
Hanna mine has enjoyed a good reputation in
this respect Yet at all posts Of danger vigi-
lance is sometimes relaxed. The occurrence Of
so violent an explosion is an effective answer
to the claim that the mine was well ventilated.

TEDIOUS GAMES.

The popularity of baseball in the United
States has been based largely upon the speed
with which the games have been rushed
through. with no tiresome delays. A common
practice has been to send the first batsman to
the plate promptly a. o'clock, and to end the
contest at g o'clock, or not much later
Recently, however, there have been long con-
tinued struggles of eleven innings or more, and
the combats have been stretched out until the
patience of the occupants of the stands was
entirely exhausted. Such lingering and hotter
ing must inevitably work injury in the long
run.

KEEP AT IT.

Having expressed not long ago the opinion
that the Merchants Association, by endeavor
ing to cover too much ground in its work to
improve the conditions Of life in this city, was
dssipating its energies to some extent, we now
take pleasure III referring to a field Of activity
in which it has recently accomplished excellent
results Overcharging by licensed cabmen is
not the greatest evil that the people Of New
York and especially the stranger within their
gates, have to endure, but it is an irritating
abuse nevertheless. Many well heralded plans
for q really cheap and satisfactory cab service
in this city have gone glimmering, and we may
be destined never to obtain that boon. But
there is no reason why the timid and the I'M
wary should be victmized year after year until
the end of time.
Within q few months more than fifty cabmen,
largely in consequence Of the efforts of the Mer-
chants Association have been summoned be-
fore the chief Of the Bureau Of Licenses COM
cess of the legal fares, and fined in varying
amounts from so cents to 81. That is first
rate beginning, and if the pursuit of the extor-
TONERS does not relax it will probably prove
to have been the beginning Of the end But per
siStence in such matters is essential The man
on the box who has been caught and punished
will resume his old practice If he judges it is
safe TO do So and his brethren whose fortune
has thus far been better than their deserts will
continue to charge all that the traffic will bear
On the contrary a year or two Of steady retri-
button would be likely to effect reform which
a fair degree OF vigilance thereafter would
maintain.
