Vor weeks past a large force of men has been ut work on the big 500-foot fpau over the middle of the river. The iron work was all up and resting on a heavy framework of piling driven down iuto the bed of the river and se-1 iirvly bolted and braced. Yesterday xifternoou the last bolts were to have Ikvii put in place in the iron superstructure, nnd the gig-antic span would Iia.ve supported its own weight. The "Truvtler" Worked hoone liy the Wim!. The foreman in beginning work yesterday morning noticed that during the night the "raceler," a huge derrick, used for placing iron in position. Ii;ul leen worked loose by the wind, and he ordered it drawn back into place. The wind was high at the tune, and the gentle swaying of the false worlc gnidnally forced the "traveler off of the piles on which l.t was resting. '1 ho Central Unit (Joe Dmtn. "When the end slipped, the whole work trcnbled, and the men realizing their danger, started for the piers. h ill-luck would have it. the central oont was the first to give way. and the men on this bent went down, to be covered by the mass of iron and timber of tha other bents, which fell alTinist immediately, enrrj-ing with them the other workmen who failed to reach places of safety on the piers. The north bent, or the one attached in the Indiana pier, did not fall for live minutes after the other parts went 'loirn. Tim Central Su KulM "The last pier, the partial span, d' I not fall for twenty minute after the Urstspau fell. The great .strain occasioned by the sundering and rending jf Uif bridge naturally eommuuivated itself to the unfinished span, und it took its plunge like the first into the water; but. being mostly framework, did not sink, but floated slowly down the rier. There was Mid to be four men on it when it fell, nud one was .subsequently killed. The small "traveler" on this span lloated town several hundred yards, and then gradually the heavy timberssplintcred fiJrr matches, showing the terrific force of the fall.

The crash attracted the attention of 'those on the shore, and many turned away .their eyes as they saw the men struggling in mid-air in their mad efforts to climb out of danger.

It will take several days to recover the bodies, as most of them are pinned down by the heavy Iron trusses which fell on top of the falsi; ..work. The bridge company has 100 men at work and will extricate the bodies from tho wreckage as soon as possible. When the. second part of the false work fell an engine and boiler went with it, and when the boiler hit the debris it exploded, but no one is known to have been struck by the Hying fragments. The lives qf the bridge workmen were insured for $1,500 each. A lVrllou Ocrupntion, To whose doors must be laid the responsibility for the terrible disaster will probably never be known.- It is doubtless one of those unforeseen accidents that occur in spite of all precau tionary measures. Itndge building, probably more than any other thing, is fraught with manifold dangers, and the workman whose labors are utilized in the work, practically take their lives in their own hands. Tho Ciiuxn of the Dlumter. General opinion ascribes the cause of the disaster to the stiff wind that has been sweeping the river all day. If, bore with great force on the ponderou.-, framework, which necessarily became loosened from the constant strain and swaying of the heavy timbers. A great number of people, before the first span fell, could see the great "traveler," rising eighty feet above the piers, swaying and quivering in the wind in what appeared to be the most alarming manner to those on shore. The motion, however, was hardly notice able to the workmen, who had no idea of their deadly peril until the great masiofwood and iron began to sink and the awful cracking and crashing of the timber, smote upon their ears. That the structure was otherwise than safe, never occurred to the engineers wlm were in charge, or the workmen. livery precaution had been employed to insure the stability of the framework. ' An .Wroinit of tho Accident hy u Clill t'liglncer. ' Mr. lirle Manchester, a civil engineer, who is employed on the bridge, had a very narrow escape from death. To a reporter for the Tinted Press, in giving an account of tiie accident, he said: "I was standing on the span that fell near the Kentucky side, and seeing that it was about to fall i called to the men to get ofT as soon as possible. I had jnst counted the men who were on the span a few minutes before and there were lifty-one in all not counting myself. When I called, the men dropped their tools and ran toward me, but only ten of them could get oft. The others went down in a heap. I was badly frightened that I could not tell how many of them got out, but I only saw one man swim to the shore. "The accident was caused by tho wind. The piling was strong enough to bear double the weight. The bridge fell like a pack of cards. It became loosened on the Indiana side first and swayed gradually across to the other side. "The span would have been completed by this afternoon, and after tho "tmveler" had been fastened to the pier there would have been no danger of the wind or current breaking it down." There Wero Miiny "nrrow Kciipc. Hut the most thrilling was that of a workman called "Spider," who broke the record for high jumping. He was at the top of the huge "traveler." HO feet from the water. He felt something give way, and then saw the whole span was falling. Placing his hands above his head, he leaped headlong to the water. Strange to say, he was not seriously hurt, and was carried toward the wreckage, whore he was rescued by two fellow workmen who had just come from the shore. The south channel span, about 450 feet in length, was blown down shortly after S o'clock to-night. So far as known no one was injured. This will entail an additional loss of $75,000. A Umnmnt sight. One sight that was unusual and that will be remembered as miraculous in the history of thu lamentable disaster, was tho -presence of eighteen men, who were saved by lnjlng on the great stone pier, when the iron span und its connecting timbers wont down, with its dreadful loss of human life. Here stoixl this great pier, rising alone from the water over seventy feet in the air, with tho eighteen human prisoners huddled together, dazed with an uncontrolable fear, but saved. The sight was-unique, but terrible. A rope ladder was thrown up and the men were rescued. MtrneulnttR Kurnpm. lohn Hipscnhciger, of Port Huron, Mich., accompanied the "traveler" in its plunge. Just before it struck the water ho rolled off and escaped unDr. I), t. Preston, of .Tefforsonvillu, the physician of tho Phccnlx llrhigo Co., as soon as the first span fell, seized a skllf and went to the assistance of the unfortunate men.

"Annexationists feel keenly the slight put upon them by President Cleveland's administration, in that it imparted its views and its purposes to tiie ISritish and royalist citizens in preference to the American resident of Hawaii. It may not be generally known that on January 1" last a member the Canadian miuistry named Mackenzie Howell, DOMINION MlNISTKIlor FINANCE, visited Honolulu on his return from New Zealand, and attended a meeting o' prominent people there, at which he advocated the advisability of abrogating the existing reciprocity of trade between Hawaii and tho United States and invited the framing of a similar treaty with the Dominion of Canada. He suggested the appoint mcnt of a committee to consider tlm matter and INVITEII THE CLOSEST ATTENTION TO IT. Let mo say in conclusion that if there is any suspicion that the present situa tion in the islands will lie changed without a vigorous protest on the part of the provisional government.

AN UN-mMER-ICAN PRINCIPLE. Thu IlauillUtlni; Appeal Coiurjed In ttm 1'rotertloii Ilnrtrlne. There .is nothing In tho doctrine of protection as a principle that is not repellent to the principles upon which tho American republic was founded. We are not arguing that tho country is in a condition to do uwuy with protec

tion now; circumstances have placed her where she is not If nil the world was organized on tho same republican basis us is America, wo would probably do without it; certainly wo could with other nations' cooperation. We uro held down to a degree of protection becuuso we cannot get away in u day from customs which nations less enlightened than ourselves in their form of government have fixed upon the wor.'d'a intercourse. Hut wo hold to protection in this point of view solely as a matter of expediency, not at all as one of principle. As a principle it is repugnant to everything American. The American people are a people who have freedom first at heart The nation was a nation founded first of all to promote freedom. It prided itself upou being a nation to promote thu utmost freedom in all respects. Its motto was free soil, free speech, free worship, free ships, free men. protectionist will mm, j, i.:,. -. not deny that the natural corollary of this was free trade. In fact, free trade was mndo the national motto at an interesting period of our history, when "free trade and sailors' rights" was emblazoned on tho national banners on land and sea. If the nation stopped short at free trade in importations, it was partly because the vorld, which had been so long under the control of monarchical ideas, had not reached this stage of enlightenment in the interest of human freedom, but more because tho country was not in a condition to carry out fully the principles it had adopted for its guid ance. Hut while it is conceded that the country is not yet ready for tho fullest free trade, if there is anything character istic of the American idea in government, it is tho aspiration for freer trade. President Garfield voiced this sentiment when ho said that all our legislation should lie with this end in view. What stands in tho way of it now? The meat un-American idea con ceivable. Tho most distinctive American principle is the principle of freedom and equality. The grandest Amer ican trait is tho trait o! self-reliance. The appeal of protection to-dav is to the antipode of this. It is an appeal to American co.vardice. This is more humiliating even than the appeal to American selfishness that accompanies it. We are told that wo must have extreme protection because without it our people cannot hold their own in competition with the nations of the world It is u libel upon them to say so. It is denying their strongest point The American can hold his own against the world in any trial of 'strength. Ho has superior advantages to any nation in tho world hi the character of his country and the men who compose it, and if there is one point stronger than another in the capacity of American men, it is their capacity to trade. They are proverbial for it at home; it is the most utter cowardice to deny that they are not equal to it abroad. Oov. McKinley is untrue to American ideas when he says that protection is a great American principle; he is untrue to American men when he declares that. with this country to back them and their own native capacity, they cannot contend with the world in the contest for success.

When tho tariff changes come to be announcer! a ureat hue and cry is cer tain to be raised by the high protectionists about their destructiveness. "Wo shall be told that all manufacturing industries will go to rack and ruin. nnd that deadly blows are being dealt to American capital aud labor. Not only will there bo this frothy talk, of which we have had a superabundance for twenty yearn or more, but among producers and manufacturers them selves there will doubtless bo an uneasy sense of new and trying conditions to come. Tho truth is that the great mass of manufactures have been uarriod on inside of a wall so high that they have not been able to see what was going on on the other side. Importa tions have ceased, domestic manufac tures have had sole control of the field, and what foreign makers could do if they had a cliano nobody knew. Es pecially in toxtilo industries the opportunity for a real comparison of prices and qualities in many grades of goods has not existed at all. Thoso who, have looked carefully into the situation arc certain that tho great mass of American textile industries will hold their own without difficulty in face of a more serious reduction of duties than congress is likely to enact Hut tho continual preaching about pauper labor and the disadvantages of tho American manufacturer has pro duced a natural feeling of timidity and uncertainty among business men who have attended to their own affairs and have had no time to concern themselves with foreign competitors. 1 ho reform of tho tariff, to bo real. must at best be somewhat unsettling. A chango from the very worst tariff nyatem to the very best would mean Borne disarrangement of industry nnd would inevitably bring a trying period of transition. Tho real and moderate changes which we aro likely to boo must cause somo readjustment if they aro to be of any benefit to the community at nil; but wo may prepare our-t-elves for great exaggerations of their disturbing effects and may comfort ourselvc with the assuranco that when they aro completed collamcs and broak-tlowns in manufacturing in dustries will be few, if any.

A DEMOCRATIC MEASURE.

nr&iouatile Itefnrni l-rnponed by the Wilton 1!I1L Tho first decisive step towards thu performance of tho pledge given the people of this country at Chicago last Juno has been taken by thu formulation of a revenuu tariff bill by tha ways and means committee of tho house of representatives. The measure has been presented in iw entirety, nnd even a casual review of its provision!! enables tho public to see that it approaches more nearly to a revenue basis than any measure which has been presented In congress by tho party in control for the last thirty ycani. It is a measure which embodies a declaration of democratic tariiT principles. It does not provide unjust restrictions upon trade. It does not favor one industry at tho expense of another. It is a judicious and well developed measure of tariff reform which will benefit the material interest of the people of the United States. Tho immediate value of the publication of the provisions of this measure is that it relieves the country of tho uncertainty which tho lack of knowledge of the proposed reform has created. It cannot be doubted that this uncertainty has caused lethargy in certain linen of industry. Manufacturers have boen doubtful of the intent of tho ways and means committee and have waited until tho specific rates to bo provided for in tho tariff bill should be iiiudo public All the information necessary to a proper appreciation of tho purpose of the majority in congress has been given the public Tho measure may not, and probably will not, pass as it has been prepared, but its substantial provisions will remain unaltered. The changes, if any, will bo of minor importance. There is ami should be, therefore, very littlo ground for uneasfticss or hesitancy on the partof manufacturers now. They should seo in the measure which Chairman Wilson has presented the kind of reform proposed by tho democratic party. It is a conservative measure. It docs not go to the extremes to which the more ardent tariff reformers would wish nor on tho other hand does it meet the views of tho protectionists. The democratic party is neither a five trado party nor tho party of protectionists. It believes in tariff for revenue. That is the scope of tho measure iust completed. It is a measure which should win the favor of all who earnestly de sire the promotion and betterment of our industrial condition. It is a decisive tinnounccmcntof dem ocratic purposes to which the party aud its representatives aro pledged, and it biionid create the confidence which the honesty and sincerity on the part of those who nave prepared it and who now stand ready to work for its pas sage must inspire.

Tho democratic party knows no sectional interests, and the real democratic sentiment of the country is in favor of no favoritism to special interests. Albany Argus. Coming from a party that has tinkered tho tariff not less than a score of times within tho thirty odd years of its existence, the protest against tariff tinkering at this time partakes somewhat of the nature of monumental ussurauce. Iloston Herald. The good senso of the president of tho United States nnd the sturdy intelligence of the mass of democrats in both houses of congress will result, it may be hoped, in placing1 upon tho statute book within a very brief period revised tarifl laws. Chicago Times. "Calico Charlie" Foster, the bankrupt cx-govcrnor of Ohio and Harrison's ex-secretary of tho treasury, will pay his creditors fifty cents on tho dollar, it is said. Hud ho remained in tho national treasury much longer Uncle Sam would have been reduced to liquidation on about tho earae basis. Chicago Times. Though wo opposo the theory that tariff laws may be passed having for their object the granting of discriminating and unfair governmental aid to private ventures, we wage no exterminating war against American interests. We believe a readjustment can be accomplished in accordance with the principles we profess, without disaster or demolition. Wo belicvo that freer raw material should be accorded our manufacturers, and wo contemplate a fair and careful distribution of necessary tariff burdens rather than the precipitation of free trade. Cleveland's fetter of Acceptance. The Now York Recorder says Wilson's tariff bill kills tho tin-plate industry, which "would, under the McKinley tariff, have given work and wages to one hundred thousand American workingmen within two years." This shows great modesty on tho part of the Recorder, or great poverty of imagination. Why not a million workingmen in six months' time? There is just as much ground for that statement as for theono actually made. Tho "tinpluto industry," so far as this country is concerned, is a myth; and there is not tho slightest reason for supposing that tho McKinley bill could ever set it on its feet Detroit Free Press. It is hard to keep track of the different theories advanced by republican organs for the condition of business at present Whenever a manufactory which has been closed starts up, they ascribe it to the result of tho elections, which they Bay were a protsst against freu trade. Hut nt the samo time they cay that the democrats learn nothing from the lesson and are going ahead with their froo trade tariff just as though there had not been any elections. This seems to make out of the manufacturers a set of fools or to put in that category tho editors whe do not sec that tho establishments which have resumed business ninco tho election did so for the samo reason as thoso which resumed earlier, becauso they have faith in the futuro since the pasaago of the repeal act N.
