FRIDAY ITVBNINO, JAN, 20, 1004,

It is new asset ted Hint Mr. Hewltt
will offer ene tariff bill nnd Mr. Morrl Merrl Morrl
Aen nnethcr. It will be well for Demo Deme
crata te wait rtml see. Thus far thcre lins
been nothing dene and nothing Is imme
diately threatened tit Washington te
tmtlfv llie apprehensions se freely In-
dulged In a few weeks age that the
country and tlie Democracy were te be
ruined by the action or tbedlffeienccs of
tlielr representatives In Congress. While
tUe ene extreme wing of the party, rep
resented by Mr. WaUcraen, has been
wildly and very Indistinctly clnmerlng
for re,vcuue reform, without Indicating
exactly what It Is te consist In, nnd
another has been as vigorously depre
cating any tariff reform, tlie great con cen con
scrvatlve mas3 of tlie party, East and
West, Sierthnnd Seuth, Is patiently
waiting te see what kind of a bill is te
be proposed, what reforms arc te be
secured and what industries are te be
affected by it.bofero they give adherence
te or take Issue with the measure. The
work of elaborating a tariff bill is one of
vast detail and d'ftlculty ; and once it is
completed it challenges such a variety
and complication of interests that its
adoption Is apt te be slew.
Meantime, however, preparations must
go en for the national convention of the
party; Btates will meet, adept platforms
and elect delegates ; and they will, no
doubt, act with such wisdom that noth
ing dene or emitted in Congress, nnd
nothing in their differences of sentiment
onsingle questions will prevent such
action by the gencr.il convention as will
commend its work te the country at
large. Ic 1S70, by this time, there were
far hotter rivalries ever candidates and
mere intense differences of opiulen upon
the financial question than agitate the
Domecrpcy new ; and yet that conven
tion made choice between them and came
te an agreement which resulted In a
brilliant campaign and the triumphant
election of Us candidate!.
The same thine may easily happen
again. Pennsylvania will be eue of the
states te lead off. It has the second
largest Democratic vete and delegation
in the national convention. Its repre
sentatives are net te be silent nor power,
less there. Their views en the tariff and
these of their constituents are well
known ; they have net changed ; they
are constitutional and unchangeable.
They carried Indiana in 1SS3 ; they were
adopted and vindicated in Ohie, New
Jersey nnd Virginia in 1SS3 ; the Demo
cracy of this state did net lese a vote en
account of them in 1SS2 or in 1SS3. They
are moderate and conservative; Mr.
Carlisle, we believe, has said that he is
reconciled te them. It is significant
thnt there Is no decided expression of
dissent from them in New Yerk ; nnd
no Southern state will separate from the
Democracy en account of them.
It Is said that the Damecracy
of Kentucky and Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas and Michigan, de3ire some.
tiling mete radical. But it,
sure
ly, is net expected that the
crats are te f ram. a policy with
Deme
regard
te the fear of lealng Kentucky or the
hepe of gaining Kansas, without refer refer
ence te Iudlaua, Ohie, Pennsylvania!
Virginia, New Jersey and New Yerk.
Tinse states will bathe battle ground of
the next contest, net the Northwest.
The time for that has net jet come.
Abuse or Justice.
The alderman and juatice of the peare
has outlived his usefulness. It is an of ef of
fice that needs te be abolished, because its
privileges are grossly abused by se many
of these who held it. They use it solely
te make fees for themselves. In civil
cases their judgments are unreliable,
being generally given for their employer,
the plaintiff. In criminal cases iu their
Judgment tlicy commit the prisoner be
cause the commitment is fruitful of
fees. Tlie outrageous filling of tlie Lan
caster county jail with vagrants com
mitted for u few days, tobe recommitted
as seen as they get out, is practised by a
certain set of justices In the most shame
less way. Columbia magistrates are
particularly active in this work. Since
December first there have been about a
hundred and llfty vagrants sent from
Columbia te tlie Jail en commitments
or from three te llve days, besides the
number sent up for longer terms.
The Jail Is net intended for the cus
tody of vagrant b, and is net adapted te
the work. They should be provided for
in u workheuso where they could be
made te cam their livelihood. There is
urgent need for reform in tlie ndminls ndminls ndminls
trationef Justice In this regard. The
state should provide efficiently for the
support of tlie peer who cannot support
themselves, and for the compulsory labor
of these who can earn their llvell
heed, but will net. Tramps should
be taken charge of, bui they should net
be provided for In jails, which are in
tended for criminals. The law provides
that vagrants shall be committed te tlie
workhouse, If thcre be one, and te the
jail only If there Is no workheuso. Our
understanding 13 that Lancaster county
provides n workheuso ; nnd we knew
that when Majer Cox superintended the
almshouse he managed admirably the
vagrants who naught Us hospitality, re
quiring tliem te work in the morning for
the lodging and feed that had been
given them. Ills method is the only ene
adnpted te the vagrant evli, and met the
case fully.
We presume thnt it is under tlie
nutherlty given, te summarily convict
nnd imprison drunken nnd disorderly
persons that the justices fill the prison
wlthvngruntB; but It Is notorious that
It Is vagrancy nnd net drunkenness, and
disorder that Is eftcu, If net generally,
the real cause of commitment. The
court Hheuld leek into this nbuse of
justice and lay Its hand upon theso
justices who flagrantly practlce it.
And the Legislature should abolish
the justices nnd aldermen and establish
In their stead courts of limited Juris
diction In convenient places, te take
cognizance of petty civil nnd criminal
actien1;.
The nppolntment of Wm. N. Hirst
by the governor te be controller of the
city of Philadelphia Is In nocerdnnco
wltli what gees by the name of civil
aervlce reform. Mr. Hirst was original
ly a Republican, appointed by Mr. Pat Pat
tlsen and retained by Mr. 1'nge as chief
clerk in the ofllce under tlielr respective
administrations. "Whatever qualification
for the head of the ofllce long experience
and an entirely satisfactory discharge of
the duties of Its chief clerkship endow
him vMi, Mr. Ilirst lias. The appoint-
ment is net a partisan ene in any sense ;
for, although classed as a Republican,
Mr. Hirst's name was voted for In the
last Democratic state convention, and
his letter withdrawing it indicated that
he would support the nominees of the
party.
ml W i -
It Is seldom that se complete and al
together deserving a municipal ticket is
presented for the voters of n city as that
which the Democrats of Philadelphia
have put up. It has been assumed that
the withdrawal of Pierle and the Re
publican nomination of Hunter will
tnnke It inore difficult te elect King and
Sheppard than It would have been other
wise. Thl3 is discreditable te the Inde
P'udent Republicans. They would
never have had Hunter as a Republican
nominee but for the unselfish nnd un
partisan conduct of the Democrats in
tiking hlra up ; besides, Pierie was the
most deserving et the three Republican
candidates, as he was less objectionable
than either Smith or Warwick, and his
sacrifice will net save them.

Pmvxt Republican Congresses have

It is a mistaken uotleu that prlvatn inju

At 8 o'clock Thursday morning n terri
ble explosion occurred at Crested Butte,
Cel,, iu the oeal mice of the Colerado coal
and iron company. There were 07 men In
the tulne at the time of the explosion. Of
these 11. who were Just entering, wero
thrown back by the force of the explosion
nud rescued. Of this number one has
since died and all the ethers urn badly
Injured. There are 6(1 men et in the
mlue and as the entrance te the mitie is
blocked up they cannot be reached. They
are all supposed te be dead. The explosion
was of such ferce as te wreck the ouglne
house, which steed fully 100 feet fiem the
entrance te the mine.
Tbe oxpleslon was one of the most ap
palling iu its const quenee that eier
occurred In n coal mlue in this country.
Crested Butte, near which the mine is
located, Is a coal tewu about thirty miles
north of Gunnison, en the Denver and Rie
Grande railroad. The e.iuse of the explo
sion is net known, but is supposed te have
been from flredamp. It occurred In eitncr
chamber 1 or 2 just half an hour after the
day force of 07 men h..d gene te work.
Ten were nt work in the chamber. All ,'f
these escaped unhurt, ixeept o:ie mm,
Jehn Angur, was in the passage way just
outalde the chamber. He is badly burned
but will recover.
Fifty-seven men were at work iu cham
bers ene and two. 'UwMoare all thought

The town hall has been prepared for the

the fan was repaired aud put te work

set te work te remote the obstructions s
as te reach the chambers ii'id get (he
bodies out as seen as possible.
Many of the dead ere married u.cti and
leave families. A narubcr of the families
reside iu Denver. At present everything
is in such confusion that it is impossible
te give details. A special train left Gun
nlseu nt 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon
with surgeons aud a number of citizens te
render all the aid possible. The town of
Crested Butte is in m turning. Crowds
of women cluster about the entrance te
tbe mine, wringing then hands and cryiug
piteously, presenting a most heartrending
scene. It Is said that at the time of the
explosion there were ten kegs ( f black
powder hi chamberi 1 and 3, where the
men wero working a: d where the explo
sion is supposed te have taken place. The
mine has three miles of driltiug, cons?
quently it is impossible te definitely lecate
the accident, at least until reseaing pir
ties can gain admittance.
The mine has long becu considered dan
gerous by theso acquainted with it. While
ene of the beat producing m ucs iu the
country, its operation has been attended
with mero or less apprehension and real
danger. "It Is a tire damp mine," said
Superintendent Cameren, who is new in
Denver, "and ecems tecji stantlygcuorate
the most deadly gases. They seem te
generate in the coal or under it and pour
out of the seams in the walls of the tunnels
and shafts. Yet the mlue is ene of the
most perfectly ventilated in the world.
The nir is forced in abn? a shaft; bv ma
chinery, and no less than 00,000 cubic feet I
of fresh air is forced into the mine every
rainute." At ten o'clock Thursday night
no bodies had been recovered.

" This Is hew it all occurred, my dear

She is perfectly devoted te the boy says

invincibly, allying the two countries, can
thus be achieved for Ireland, and net
otherwise We must leave te Europeans

aud struck him with it several times ; he
followed thM up with blew of hia fist ,
the bartender Dually told Hildebrand that
he would put them out If they did net
step tightlDg. In a few moments Hilde

pushed him against the deer jam ; he
tlnnily threw him out of the deer and down
about two steps te the ground; while Esh

Dr. VeTrs KiUlrucr.
The first witness wan Dr. J. G. Wcatcr,
who was sworn ; he testified as fellows :
am a practicing physicinn of Strasburg ;
whero I have been for 13 years ; en the
10th ofSepterabor last I went te Henry
Eshleman's heuse with Drs Keueagy aud
Black. I aw the deceased and made nn
examination ; found much swelling of the
face and discoloring ; found the cartilage
of the nese breken, ene cye swollen, lip
cut and swollen and small mark en left
car : that was all of the injuries en the
head; we then examiucd the body nud found
ea the breast bone a mark as if
produced by the heel of n beet, Im
prints of nails being distinct ; we
then opened the ebest and found con
sidorable hemerrhage iu the cavity of
the chest under the breastbone, with n
great deal et contusion and a rupture of
the left innominate veiti which runs across
the chest ; it was nn eighth of au inch iu
diameter ; found ue ether rnarkH of vlo vle vlo
lence ou any ether portion of the body ;
the vein described leads from the brain te
the heart, whero it empties, nnd is very
large : the rupture of the vein was
caused by the force used en the ohest ;
the rupture and hemerrhage wero the
oause of death, together with the shock
te tbe norveui system : the clotted bleed
indicated that n blew et sufficient foreo en
tbe outside caused it ; Eshleman lived in
Strasburg township, about a inlle aud a
half from the borough
The witnesswasruL'jeci'J te.- Isugmy

ceurse of which he said that the rupture
of the artery might have been caused by
many ether iutluenccs than the blew in
dicated by the traces of the beet heel, but
finding them he concluded thnt the rup
ture nn due te the same ferce ; he was
net certain as te the location of the artery;
had examined it with his hands nnd saw
no signs of disoase te account for the rup
ture ; only inferred hew it had beeu
occasioned from the external signs of
vlolcnce.
Dr. lilnck'iTmlliiieuy.
Friday Morning. Dr. II. N. Black,
who nsslsted in the pest mortem made
upon the deceased, corroborated Dr.
Weaver in regard te the wounds found en
the face. They opened the ohest nnd
found a rupture of the left innominate
vein, which otherwlso was in n healthy
condition ; found a mark en the lett
breast bone which roeemblcd thnt made by
tbe heel of n beet ; te the best or witness'
rocellcotion It was directly ever the rup
tured vein ; the ruptured vein Indicated
great violenco ; the wound en the outslde
was oentused ; air. Eshleman's death was
caused by tlie injuries nnd Internal hemer
rbages, occasioned by the coueusslon pro
duced by the exterier wound. Deceased
was a mau of robust appcaranoe who
would weigh bctwen 100 and 170 pounds.
The wltuess was cress-examined at
great length en the subject of anatomy ;
he stated that this rupture might have
been caused in different ways ; could net
tell whother the mnrks found wero made
by a heel, but they no appeared ; It is
pessible for a blew ou the breast te rupture
thlB vein without causing a fraoture of
nny part of the breast boue ; he bolievod
it had occurred In this case ; thore was ue
recerd made of the autopsy ; made no
examination for ether causes of the rup
ture of the vein ; if a mau was found with
IiIh head cut oil there would net likely be
an examination of the chest te dlsoevor
the cause of his death.

few questions ou cress examination ; he
knew of no rcoerd of the autopsy havlug
