clearly TO the facts in the case, and
that without the allowance Of NTH
eating circumstances or the POSSIBLE
ity of error. Yet, the fiery old war
rior of the forum. addressing a crowd
ed house of admirers and amusement
seekers and the entire body of his
|own colleagues, of whose sympathy
he was assured, spoke for an hour
about the meanest man. that ever oc-
cupied seat in the upper chamber OF
congress, and Ben only said that he
was, perhaps, disingenuous." That
mean man was himself. He had on
one occasion declared 81 have not
bought any land anywhere in the
west, nor undertaken to buy any. I
have made some Inquiries as one nat
urally would in roaming through the
west" He called that statement
"disingenuous". when the postal au-
thorities produced letters he had
written to a land agent in the west
requesting reservations Of nine home
stead claims for him, Just before he
introduced a resolution in the senate
to make the titles given by that par
ticular company good.
"Disingenuous' was the first word,
probably, Ben Tillman ever chose"
We suspect that the particular ele-
ment OF his constituency upon which
Ben depends for his support in South
Carolina could not understand that
word. disingenuous. A shorter and
uglier word would be applied by
them, Il they understood the whole
circumstances; but Tillman, like Jer
Davis, of Arkansas, is fortunate in
that his constituency does not read
extensively. Ben would not like for
his friends in the hills to know that
he was dickering for some homestead
claims In the far northwest. and at
the same time publicly declaring that
he was doing no such thing. Those
Hill fellows like the blunt truth.
So do the Chautauqua admirers of
Senator Tillman, we remind him.
Ben has been greeted by crowds at
the Chautauquas not to gather
pearls of thought or to hear his
beautifully rounded periods; but to
hear him Ego on" The newspapers
have made Ptchfork Tillman famous
in a way People will care about as
much to hear the tanned Tllman" as
to see a stuffed tiger. They want him
to rage and roar and tear the Ian
guage TO threads and abuse his au-
dience. We are afraid that Ben has
lost more than his homestead claims
and his reputation for blunt honesty.
He has lost his value as chautauqua
attraction.

AN INExcUsABLE HORROR.

A second explosion in the Lick
Branch colliery within two weeks en-
tombed $50 men, where so were
killed by the first one. On account of
the very nature OF the mining busi-
ness. conducted in the dark chambers
of the earth's store house, and in
those parts where gas Is most likely
TO be found, with the business Itself
creating new dangers, It is possible
that the first explosion was practical
ly unavoidable. But there was no
excuse for this second catastrophe OF
the same character Men, who delve
into the bowels OF the earth take
certain risks, that we on top OF the
earth escape. There are certain pre-
cautions good miners do and should
take to minimize the danger. Some
time we hope safeguards will be
learned that will forever do away
with much OF the horror; but until
then the miner must risk the earth,
the engineers skin, the carefulness
of his fellow workmen and his own
acts. But when a danger manifests
Itself in so unmistakable manner, as
by killing fifty men, it looks like
murder for $50 more to be slaughter

1t was a strange sight yesterday
morning TO see an express wagon go
out South Third street with a fine,
large. white hen roosting on the
coupling pole of the wagon. Several
colored men were sweeping of side
walks along Third street, and it just
seemed natural for every one of them
to look up and then stare at the
peaceful white hen roosting under the
wagon bed. Some of the colored
men who have a chicken tooth could
hardly restrain themselves from
sneaking up behind the wagon and
grabbing the bird.
