They cannot hope for Tilden. but they
do need q man somewhat of that order.
A most interesting feature Of the situa'
ton is the Importance Of Mr.. Hearst. He
has following of goodly proportions. and
it will matter much with which side he
trains. He Is an independent. il one may
be found In the state. He helped defeat
Tammany Hall in November because he
considered 1t thoroughly corrupt organ
ization. He has expressed distrust of the
Saratoga reformers, ticketng them as
trust agents and corporation lawyers
Nor are Mr.. Corners and Mr.. Murphy at
all to his taste.
But may he be expected to give his
hand to the republicans If Mr.. Root
shapes their course? IT was he that de-
feated Mr.. Hearst for governor. His
speech for Mr.. Hughes had a powerful
effect on the campaign, and when the
votes were counted Mr.. Hearst lacked
some sixty thousand of the necessary
number.
With Corners and Murphy and the
Saratoga trust agents on the one side
and Mr.. Root on the other-answering in
the Hearst appraisement the famous
choice of the devil or the deep blue sea
what will Mr.. Hearst do? Choose be-
tween them, or run again himself?

Another Mine Disaster.

Now it Is Colorado that furnishes news
of mine disaster. Similar in it's effects
TO the Cherry. ILL.,, disaster. the explosion
in the mine at Primero accentuates the
fact that our coal mining methods are
crude and dangerous and that the lessons
that have been taught by repeated catas-
trophies under ground have not been ap-
piled in prevention. The latest dispatches
from the scene of the disaster state that
it is impossible to ascertain the cause Of
greatest care was exercised throughout
the mine and that only safety lamps were
used. This latter statement Is an indica-
ton that the mine was gaseous, in which
condition an explosion is always possible
where men are permitted to carry lights
and dependence is had upon that means
of illumination. Even with the safety
lamps required by mine regulations miners
Will persist in opening them to light their
pipes. deliberately violating rules and in
viting death. Only through the installa-
ion Of electricity will mine disasters be
prevented, and as long as the state legis-
latures fail to require the adoption OF
that means of illumination human life
will be sacrificed by the scores and num-
dreds. Just as on the railroads collisions
but remain in most circumstances the re-
suit of inadequate equipment, SO in the
mines the ultimate responsibility rests
with the corporations which persist in
maintaining dangerous system of IL
Elimination despite repeated warnings in
the form of wholesale slaughter.
