MINE ACCIDENTS.
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.

PITHY POINTS.
DEMOCRACY AND SILVER.
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
