Wo take tho following interesting article, from tho Philadelphia Times. It will provo interesting for tho Hkrai.u'h many readers interested in coal mining. Speaking of tho annual report of tho mino inspectors, our contemporary pays it again calls attention to what has been painfully impressed upon tho public mind by numerous fatal miueaccidents in tho past, tho fact that tho best and most carefully considered laws for tho protection and safety of tho miners can easily bo ren dered of no effect by the carelessness of tho miners themselves. Every session of the Legislature for tho past twenty years has had this sulycct under consideration witli the net result that care fully draviu laws covering almost every con ceivable detail of tho process of mining havo been enacted and aro enforced by inspectors appointed becauso of their practical and technical knowledge. In f-pito of laws and competent inspectors, however, fatal mino accidents are of common occurrence. Why? llocnusu no code of mine laws and no Hoard of Inspectors, however faithful and competent, can compel careless miners to obey and observe the neces-mry rules and precautions to Insure safety. Mino roofs will fall if not sulllciently propped, and mine gas will explode if it comes in contact witli u naked lamp. Explo-dvo gas is as common to mnt coal Holds as coal itself, and all mines have roofs to bo propped or otherwise sup poited. Tho aim of tho mining laws is to compel the uso of adequate supports, tho proper drainage and ventilation of the mines and careful inspection of every chamber and pnssago for gas beforo miners with open lamps aro allowed to enter. If these rcnulre- meuts are faithfully fulfilled mine explosions would bo as raro as tho law intends them to be. WViy do mining laws fail? liecatiM) miners in their eagerness to got to work, tush headlong into gas tilled driveways and chambers in advance of tho inspectors; be- ause those charged with the duty of niacin: the proper supports do their work tarclowly and in violation of all sensible rules; in short, because miners act frequently as though they considered thu oxlsteuce of protective laws on the subject all tho protection they require. ltnsslnit National Union.

Thero is considerable uncertainty as to tlio attitude of tlio Democrats on tho financial question when they assemble in national con vention at Chicago. Evan P. Howell, of Georgia, says, lu speaking of tho freo silver men, "if wo can not get what we want in Chicago we will walk out and go oil' and form u party of our own." Mr. Howell is tho editor of tho Atlanta Constitution, one of tho most influential Democratic papers in tlio South. Unquestionably tho silver end of tho Democracy in Georgia is the big end, though tho other faction seems to bo active and .hopeful. This element is showing an examplo which ought to shame its sido in some of tho other states into work. There is a chance, says tho St. Louis Demo crat, that sumo of the threats which havo been made of bolts at Chicago aro bluff, designed to frighten tho found money sido into submission, and aro not Intended tu lo carried out. Tillman's incendiary talk, r most of it. is probably of this order. Yet Tillman controls tho delegation of his state and very likely can mako it do Ids bidding, uvon to tho extont of repudiating his party's candidate and platfoun If those aro for gold To bo sure, tlio primacy in the Southern State which South Carolina snatched from Virginia when Calhoun went to tho front in tho "30s" and which sho held aloug to lb(!l, has been lost since, yet possibly if sho left tho convention some of tho other statos of Jicr locality would follow lior as they did when sho left thu Union. A largo part of tho ! South is tainted witli the free silver virus hi 1890, as it was witli tho secession poison thirty-six yours ugo. A bolt engaged in by Georgia, tho "Empire State of tho South," would bo especially dangerous. Prolmbly the silver crusado In tho De mocracy is not quite as formidable as its champion! believe or pretend, but it seems to be gaining In strength in tlio party iu thu South and West. It is immensely aided by the inactivity of the sound money sido. Apathy lias attacked most of tho gold Demo cratic leaden. A sort of Chinese fatalism has seized them, and iu a stolid and despair ing way they watch tho silveritos capturo delegation after delegation, and appear to think that the disaster whleh awaits their party Is a decree of destiny which can not bo averted. Heretofore, lu fights on finance, tho Con ner vative element of the Democracy has managed to save the extremist from them selves, but iu this instance tho latter aro allowed to work their own will without any sorious oproltion from their parly. It has been within tho power of the gold element of the Democracy to not only oontiol their National Convention, but tocroatoa sentiment which would crush out ull tho spirit of reolt amyng the silver incu, but their opportunity for doing cither Is pass ing quickly ii on '.bom.
