Because It Springs From the People Tne - Laud-Owners : Should Rule the Country. I Why Tariff Reform Is a Vital Question for Agriculturists.' Stecbkjtvillb, Ohio, May 12. J. A. Hill, corresponding secretary of Oak Grove Lodge, Ne. 22. far mers Alliance, near this city, wrote to ex-President Cleveland a few weeks aeo. enclosing a copy of the declaration of purposes of the At- iunce,ana asking lor jar. uirve- Innrl'a vicwi thereon : imoif the declaration of paiposes are the foJ lowing: lo labor for tne education of tne agricultural classes in the science of economical government in a strictly non-partisan spirit. To secure tmntv of the elective fr.mchise and to induce all voters to intelligently exercise it for the en actment and execution of laws which will express the most ad vanced public sentiment upon all questions involving the interests' of laborers ana tanners. i To suppress personal, local, sec tional ana ' national prejudices, all unhealthi ul rivalry and all selfish ambition. Mr. Cleveland replied as fellows: J. A. Hill, corresponding secretary etc: . Dsik Sib: I have received Your letter accompained by a copy of the declaration of principles of the Far mers Alliance. i see nothing in this declaration that eannot be fully indorsed by any man who loves bis country, who be lieves that the object of our govern ment should be the freedom, pros perity and happiness of all our peo ple, and who believes' that justice and fairness to all are necessary con ditions to its useful administration. It has always seemed to me that the fanners of the country were especially interested in an equitable adjustment ot our Unix system. me inaiuerenee tney nave snown to that question and the ease with whLu they have been led away from a sober consideration of their needs and their rights, as related to this subject, have excited my surprise. struggle as tney may, our farmers must continue to be purchasers and consumers of numberless things en hanced in cost by tana regulations. Surely they have the right to say that this cost shall not be increased for the purpose of collecting unne cessary revenue or to give undue ad vantages to domestic manufactur ers. The plea that our infant in fant industries need the protection which thus impoverwhesthe farmer and consumer is, in view of our natural advantages and the skill and ingenuity ot our people, a hollow pretext. Struggle as they may, our farmers cannot escape the conditions which fix the price of what they produce and sell, according to the rates which prevail in foreign markets, flooded with the competition of countries enjoying freer exchange of trade than we. The plausible presentation oi the blessings of a f home market shoujd not deceive our depressed and impoverished agricul turists. There is no home market for them which does not take its in structions from the seaboard, and the seaboard transmits the word of the foreign markets. Because my conviction that there should be a modification of our tariff lavs arose principally from an appreciation of the wants of the vast army of consumers, comprising our farmers, our artisans and our workingmen, and beciuse their con dition has led me to protest against the present imposition, I am especi ally glad to see these sections of my fellow-countrynjen arousing them selves to the importance of tariff re form. Yours very trly, Groves Clzvj&akd. SCENES OF MOUKNIXG IS STBlCKESf ASHLEY THE STORY OF THE DISAS ' ' TEIL Rob ert Hoberts, One of the Com panions of the Foolnardy Fire Boss, Tell What Happen ed.

How long before ' the deadly cases will rush upon and lay them all low in death is the question each man puts to himself. IN TOTAi DARKNESS. The moment the drop occurred that made these thirty-one prisoners down in tho Jersey, also plunged them in total darkness, for eterf light was extinguished in an in stant, and imagine, if possible, what kind of darkness it was that surrounded these men. Naturally they crept toward each other to csuiicil together. As the moments rnssed they felt no inconvenience i-om the lack of air. This en couraged them. They knew well enongh that rescuers would begin at once and their full dinner pails, as well as the recollection ' of the Sugar Notch rescue of 1879, when a score of men wero brought out safe and sound after ten days imprison ment in a colliery there, inspired them with hope. lioberts, one of the two men who lives to tell the story of that sub terranean convention, says that as they became assured that they would not be suffocated, proposi tions were considered an to whether it would not be advisable to make the attempt to get out by the way of an old opening which Fire Boss Allan, who wa3 among the impri soned, said was certainly not more than 1,200 or 1,500 feet from where they were. EXrLOKIXQ THE Dl'XGZOX. It was a doubtful succeston. to oo f say the least, for their movements in the direction of escaped must be made in the awful darkness that surrounds them, as each miner lrnw that it would be courtinc - ' - - - " Q death by explosion to light a lamp, .i 1 1 . as aner an cave im ease accumu lates in great quantities and in places previously considered safe.

Every new Jand then they halloed back to those lett behind Who re plied with encouraging shouts. After a while, however, they reached a point where noanswenng echoes could be exchanged. For two long hoars the three men worked their way toward the old opening which Allan bad reference to. At last they came to a point in the gangway which marked the foot of a steep decline. It had a pitch of thirty degrees and was over 200 feet long, liere Allan became discouraged at the surrounding darkness. The steep was slippery and uncertain. By the aid of a light it could easily be surmounted, and once at the top they were with in 300 feet of the old opening and the aurface. It was worth the yen' ture, he thought, to tempt fate by lighting his lamp. His companions begged nim not to do so, but to quiet tlieir fears he Ja3sured them there was no pilule danger, anotne lamp was lighted. ISE ESTLOsIOX. Unhappy inspiration! Like the roar of 10,000 cannon was the aw ful detonations that followed. A vast amount of gas was ignited by that fVwlharJy net of one who should have "known better. The fire boss and his two companions were knocked to the ground senseless, but not dead Lint like a chut from a can non the burning gas flew onward toward the little roup of twenty eight, who were huddled together, waiting and hoping with patience the music of the pick overhead, which s'uoulu tell them that rescue was near. la the twinkling of an eye they were transformed into torn, bleeding and blackened corpses. Loaded cars that stood on the gangway track uear them wete shivered to atoms and the mutes attached to them roasted alive. It was a terrible sight to look upon when, later on, these mangled remnants of men were lifted out of the mine and borne away to the improvised morgue at Ashley.
