congress, said:
"The fact that a number of the
we'll known and widely-used so-called
safety explosives have ignited the
fire damp in the explosives chamber
at the plant, when all these, if they
lived up to their names, should not
have touched off the deadly gases, has
brought vividly to the mind of the
underground toiler the constant dang
ers of his work.
THE fact also, that in practically
every instance, in the tests, the coal
dust has been exploded, has left deep
impression upon the minds of both
the miner and the operator. One Of the
strange. things about mining is that
the practical men, the miners and the
owners, are the last to believe tina:
coal dust is as dangerous an explosive
as fire damp. This has led to much
carelessness in the watering Of mines.
Now that the government plant al
ready has shown several hundred m1n-
ers and owners that coal dust Is a
dangerous explosive, 1 expect to see
much more care given to the sprinkling
Of the mines. This will be of great
aid in lowering our disgraceful death
rate in the mines, which is now four
times as great for every 1000 men en-
ployed as any country of Europe. I
learn from unofficial sources that the
number of deaths this year in the coal
mines will ha about 1000 less than the
year before This is partly due to the
agitation at the time of the big eXplo-
sions last December, but more partic-
ularly to the mora effect of the federal
government taking up this question"

PARKER BREAKS SILENCE.

Denver, July 4.-Naturally as the democratic standard bearer in 1904 Judge Parker is the center of attrac- tiOn and interest He is comparatively a new figure in conventions and many delegates know him only by the cam paign portraits of four years go, but his urbanity and friendly welcome has created a favorable impression in the throngs who come to greet him. At the outset he was a bit nettled over the publication of Cleveland resolu- tiOns and the comment which ensued, but all that is now past; the resolu- tiOns are as gentle and soothing as a summer breeze and the judge himself is good natured and sunny as usual
 When seen today he did not wish to give formal interview but in an informal way he chatted interestingly on the situation and the outlook.
 Do you consider the presidential nomination still an open question or is Bryan's nomination reasonably as- sured?" Parker was asked.
 "Of course I have no more exact in formation than you on the subject" he replied. But reports gathered by the press by those who are keeping close track of the standing of delega- tiOns appear to indicate that Bryan has very strong lead, one which mSS be sufficient to give him the nomina-

WHEN EXPERTS ERRED.

The talent" went wide of the mark in its judgment of the respec- tive muscular merits of the Hon. orable Joseph Cans and the Honor able B. Nelson. Our interest in the careers of these gentlemen who have divided with kings and presidents the attention of the world during the last few years has never been ab- sorbing. Still, we could not help noticing something that appears to have escaped the observation of the talent. That is that the Hon. B, Nelson is different from most other pugilists. He has never taken the count and there has never been a time when he was not able to walk about the ring or out of it, after the close of the festivities, without as sistance
 In his various controversies with pugilistic gentlemen, no one can re- call a moment when he was not trying to win or when he did not seem to believe that his triumph was assured.
 That is not a good kind of a con- trOversialist to bet against it. In these days of the reduction of things to a science, when gentlemen meet in the rectangular circle, they are gsRtYa gsa1 he r1T r1l1 ffll1l equal as nature can make them. The advantage which one possesses over the other is more apt to be some mental characteristic some habit of thought by which he can make his strength and skill count for more than the skill and strength matched against him.
 The Hon. B. Nelson has a robustly developed habit of thinking that he is not going to be worsted. That habit is fixed and is to be distin- guished from mere confidence, which is always susceptible to a jar. In the case of a man in whom the habit oL DeHeNilS lhal ne VIII VIII Hds been implanted, nothing else than an unforeseen accident is likely to bring him disappointment. When proper precautions are observed the chances Of accidents in a prize ring are re- duced to a minimum.
 Now that it is all over it is diff 1 ficult to see why the odds were not | placed on the Hon. Mir. Nelson rather | than on his antagonist, the Hon. MT. 1

tion. At the same time We are here in friendly rivalry both as to man
 and measures It may be that some
 of us would favor another candidate,
 but We are here for an exchange of views, the very essence of democratic
 faith and to accept the will of the ma
 jority. Of course there is only one final way for that will to have an of ficial expression and that is by ballot in the convention. Meantime there Is
 not a man in the convention who
 would not say today that he is not ready to accept the will of the conven-
 tion and support the candidate when that will is definitely made known.
 Tn the event of Bryan's nomination, I judge from the foregoing you wish your staunch friends of 1904 to give their loyal support to him?" was the query next put to Parksr.
 Most assuredly," he replied. And why not? Bryan will then become the exponent of the democratic party with it's great principles and great missions still to perform. Bryan's ability ev- anywhere is conceded, by no one. more than myself He is a gentleman of splendid intellectual ability, of vast information on public affairs, an ora tor with democratic qualities, with an engaging personality which wins him hosts of devoted adherants, a natural leader of men. Make no mistake there fore as to the attitude and personal feeling of my friends and myself to- ward Bryan in the event of his nom ination."
 'Is there any division of senti- ment? It is the same as to meas ures as it is to men; We are here for an exchange of views. We are all devoted to the great party with which we have long been identified. In a gathering of one thousand men from every section of an immense country it is altogether natural that there should be differing shades of view upon some of the great prob lems now confronting the country This difference of view, reconciling the varying shades of sentiment from all parts of the country serves a most valuable end, for out of it all comes the solid judgment of demo- crats representing the whole coun- try, such judgment it is to be hoped will be consistent with the great principles of the democratic party and will serve the country in the most vital manner at this moment by combating the Rooseveltian idea to centralize all power in the hands of the federal government as against the states.
 T do not want to go into details as to these principles as some gen tlemen are a bit sensitive, and prone to array us as radicals and conser- vatives. However. all this will, I trust, be reconciled; conservatism will, hope and believe, have a mod erating influence upon the more ad- vanced ideas of some of our brothers while their advanced views will keep us from tagging in the rear and in sure the party a steady infusion of the progressive spirit of the age.
 We will consider, confer and then decide. The decision will present to the country a ticket which will com mand enthusiastic approval and declaration of principles which I fer vently trust will be satisfactory to the best thought of the country. Both the ticket and the action taken to- sether, in my judgment, will secure the endorsement of the people in

FIREWORKS REFORM.

Sometime this fireworks matter In many cities it is now so regulated and in a comparatively few it is prohibited Every year the list of victims is much larger than the preceding year, a circumstance at tributable mainly to the constant Improvements" by the manufactur- CTS increasing the deadliness of their wares. Many of us can remember when there were only the small Chi nese fire cracker, the Roman. can de and the sky rocket with perhaps set pieces of simpler form than those made today. There were then no giant crackers, at least in common use and the huge bomb capable of death or maiming was unheard of.
 The explosives of those early days might result in conflagrations but there was comparatively little dan ger of serious personal injury. With in a few years there have been de- veloped ear-splitting, nerve-racking and mangling bombs hardly less de- structive than dynamite sticks and a great deal more dangerous in their guise of playthings.
 We do not think there will ever be q successful move in favor of a quiet Fourth. Now and then the authorities of a town or city will in sist upon it and suppress fireworks entirely but generally the right of the American citizen to make noise on the natal day will be rec ognized. But there is an increasing tendency to conserve human life, property and comfort so that within a few years We may look for the abolition of the indiscriminate ex- plosion of bombs and the launching of other fireworks regardless of the consequences of sparks and burning fragments.
