THL RATIFICATION MEETING
AND WHAT IT ALL PORTENDS.
The democrats of Oklahoma have rati {led their ticket placed In Lho
field at Enid. The « al o (approval of tin: opposition to the republican party
may n< w be :aid to have been set on the selection of the convention tliat
nominated Mr. Cross for the high office of delegate to congress. To be sure,
there were not very many yeopie in attendance at the meeting and tlhe
enthusiasm was iu '. .-*> great as it might have been. But withal that there
wa: not a semblaiu e of hilarity a feeling that the result of the campaign
there inaugurated would hold much for the faithful democrats there assem-
bled to make merry over when the time came In Nuvcmber for somebody
to ratify the election of a delegate to congress.
And the situation was thus viewed by the people who met to be glad
for the nomination of the man of all the bunch who will develop small
strength in the quarters where strength is needed. Twq years ago the
nomination of Mr. Cross might have been a better selection than it 13 at
thin time. Then the pouplist part of the vote seemed more certain and the
number ol populist voters was indisputably greater than it is today, and
the selection of a candidate who is distinctly unpopular with t.his element
misht have been advisable in the place of the malcoutent whom they
nomiuated.
At that time a bid for the support of the better members of democracy
by the nomination of Cross might have brought strength to the ticket.
Those m« n who Were wavering two years ago toward supporting the repub-
lican ticket could not stand for NofT. and they are today republicans. The
nomination of Cross this year cannot draw any strength to the ticket from
the men who are progressive democrats. Aa to the populist wing of the
allied party .there is no hope that Cross can poll any candldcrable portion
of the vote, for his well known disgust with the selection of Neff two years
ago, and his scarcely veiled derision of the candidate and the faction of
farmers that placed him in nomination, has been forgotten by the men who
arc today asked to support him.
These few generul features of the situation would indicate that the
ratification meeting, however dull, was as enthusiastic as the circumstances
of the eveasion warranted, not to mention several minor but not less
pregnant features that have developed in the short period of time elapsed
since the convention at Enid. These are the well-known and llaunted dis-
like on the part of the democratic nominee for any northern people, he hav-
ing taken occasion, it is alleged, to say that he disliked Kansas and Kansans
so thoroughly as to make it impossible f<v him to feel well while traveling
through the state. This aud other small items make up an aggregate, the
overcoming of which, and after that the clear gaining of several thousand
votes from the republicans, is the task that the meeting at Oklahoma City
has entered into with the aplomb and enfldence that hps marked the be-
ginning of iiuve than one democratic campaign that was to meet a Mount
Pelee eruption In November that came like a ruthless hand to sweep
away the toy house of a small goy who was civerconfldent,
SOML UNIQUE FEATURES
OF THE ST. PIERRE VOLCANO.
Although many of the phenomena attending it are identical with those
previously observed, the eruption of Mont Pelee in Martinique is a mem-
orable event In the history of volcanoes, not only owing to its destructive
effect upon human life, but also by reason of two uncommon, if not un-
paralleled characteristics. These are first the fact that the outpour of
lava which took place on May o did not mark tho crisis of the eruption,
and. secondly, to tho appalling quickness with which the population of St.
Pierre was wiped out by tho fiery whirlwind which. Just before 8 o'clock,
on the morning of May 8. enveloped the town and the adjoining harbor.
As regards the number of lives destroyed, the eruption of Mont Pelee,
though conspicuous, is not pre-eminent among the volcanic outbreaks
which have occurred in historical times. From this point of view, indeed,
it dwarfs the explosion at Mount Vesuvius, which overwhelmed the towns
of Herculaneum and Pompeii. It is itself eclipsed, however, considered as
a death-dealing agency, by the terrible outburst of Krakatoa, In the Straits
of Sunda. In 1883, which wrought unexampled havoc on the neighboring
coasts of Java and Sumatra.
Neither Is there anything exceptional in the fact that incandescent slags
and cinders were shot up to a great height, whence they were driven by air
currents to distant islauds. and thereon deposited in the form af ashes or
dust. The fine allies of Krakatoa are said to have been carried by the
upruah of gas and vapors to the altitude of seventeen miles. In 1835 ashes
from Mount> Conaequlna fell in Jamah a. 70o miles off. and in 18,45 the dust
from Mount Hecla in Iceland was borne to the Orkney aud Shetland Isles.
Nor Is there anything anomalous in the reported circumstances that,
linn the eruption, the height of Mont Pelee has been diminished by sr/ne
hundreds of feet. The cone.' of Etna and Vesuvius have often been in this
way curtailed. In ITT- the whole peak of Papangayang in Java was blown
off. In 1822 the summit of Vesuvius was reduced by 800 feet. In 1S88 Mount
Kobandal in Japan was shortened to an extraordinary extent, it being esti-
mated that 1. .">$7,000,000 cubic yards of rocks were torn from the top of
the mountain and scattered over an area of nearly thirty square miles.
What was abnormal about the Mont Pelee eruption was the fact that
the great outpour of lava which took place on May 5 did net mark the crisis
of the cata< ysm. If they were to judge from precedents, the members of
the commission appointed that day in St. Pierre were justified in assuring
their fellow townsmen that the worst was over. As a rule, indeed, tho
vol-anocs which emit la\a in the greatest volume are comparatively quiet
iu their action. Tho mciten rock or lava supply rises to the rim of the
crater or of a lateral fissure, and overflows It.; when the crater or fissure
Is depleted of Its liquid contents, tho eruption ceases. This is the ease with
volcanoes of Hawaii. Where, on tho othor hand, eruptions are periodical
and paroxysmal, as in the > ase of Etna and Vesuvius, tho violent ejection
of inendescent drops and fragments precedes tho outburst of lava from the
lip of th,- crater or of a rent in the side of tho cone. It will probably be
found, when scientists are able to examine the desolated district, that two
separate explosions of Mont Pelee occurred; cce on May 5. which found vent
through a lateral fissure or so-called sourfrlere (sulphur pit.) and the other
on the morning of May 8. when the crater and tho whole top of the cone
. were blown ofT. In other words, there were two outbursts of lava distinct
locally and iu the order of time.
For the awful suddenness with which In from thirty seconds to three
minutes the imputation of St. Pierre was exterminated by a hurricane of
fire there is no recorded parallel. From the relatively few remains of human
lw>dies brought to light in Herculaneum and Pompeii, it is manifest that
the great majority of the inhabitants of those places had timo for escape
from destruction. The direction of streaming lava can be calculated, and
from the downfall of ashes a shelter of some sort can commonly be found.
The fountain of incandescent cinders which normally precedes to the im-
mediate vicinity of the crater whence It springs. That the inhabitants of
St. Pierre, which stood at a considerable distance from the eruptive centre,
should have been caught in a cyclone of flame, constitutes a new and unique
catastrophe.
THE ANTHRACITE MINERS
AND THEIR GREAT STRIKE.
The New York Sun. discussing the anthracite situation, says: "There
will be no occasion for criticising, favorably or unfavorably, the action of
either party to the affair, miners or operators, it is a business proposition,
and cannot be made otherwise."
Of course. Still, it may be pertinent to inquire if, on the whole, the
rank and file of the mine-workers really understand what a plain "business
proposition" it is—whether they actually comprehend just where their
advantage lies. The great mass of them is composed of foreigners, men
of meager intelligence and no education, unfamiliar with industrial or
business matters in their own countries, unacquainted with American
methods, aud knowing absolutely nothing of the business mechanism of
the anthracite men, says the Engineering aud Mining Journal, are easily
worked on by unscrupulous leaders seeking political power, and are made
to feel that they are victims of capitalists and the slaves of the coal barons."
It does not require a great effort to. believe that—and, once it is believed, the
futility of submitting a business propsiiion to men of that sort becomes
easily apparent.
From the same source it is learned that the "miners." so-called, are
not the "mine-workers." The former operate under contract for the most
part, on a car-load basis of production; the real laborers work under them,
doing all the blasting, picking and shoveling; the "miner" gels, ay Y6 a
day with hours short or long to suit his convenience of superintendence;
the laborer works ten hours and gets, say $1.75 for It. The "miners" are tho
handlers o fthe strikes—and, says tho Journal, one cl the prime reasous for
the present agitation over an increase of wages and an eight-hour workday
"is that the laborers are becoming restive under their treatment by the
miners and the latter are seeking to have the companies guarantee wages
which they themselves are not willing to pay."
As to the adequacy of the wage scale, there can be no doubt that the
average condition of the anthracite mine workers is vastly better today
than it has been at any other time during the past third of a century.
Their incomes are practically equal to those paid during the period of in-
flated values at the close of the civil war; the cost of living being consid-
ered, they are measurably higher. The laborers are sharing liberally In
the general prosperity of the coal trade. As to the condition at present
ruling in that quarter let the Journal speak again:
"Whatever may be said against the present control of production and
prices, the fact remains that it has brought order out cl chaos and profits
out of impending bankruptcy, he various mining and transportation com-
panies are in closer alliance than ever, the individual producers are con-
stantly becoming fewer as their properties are purchased by the large con-
cerns, and the control of the trade is in strong hands.
Who would seek to disturb these conditions? The union organized
laborers appear to u& to be assuming grave responsibilities if they persist in
their strike.
