of the Interior Department, to aid in
paving the expenses Of the coming cam

bidding any such political assessment.
But order or no order. if the amount Is
not promptly forthcoming, it wouldn't be
surprising to hear Of several vacancies
SOON to be filed.

Furious Thunder Storm in India.
LONDON, June 2S.-A dispatch from
Budha, Pesth, to the STANDARD, SAYS that a
furious thunder storm passed over that
city to-day. The lightning was ncessant,
and hail fell IN such quantities
that the roofs of the houses and the
surrounding hills, were covereS two
feet thick with ice. The water fall was
extraordinary. torrents swept through the
streets of Budha, carrying men, vehicles.
and everything movable down into the
river. Many houses suddenly fIoatcd,
and were destroyed before their inmates
could escape. Five hundred inhabitants
are missing, and about one thousand
have been drowned or killed by falling
walls. All railways are interrupted.

The Voice Of a Dead Politician

DIR. Gwin was perhaps the ablest man

democratic, and has not yet conquered his
prejudices, though for some years out of
public life, and living in retirement in Cal.

over 70, equally overlooking with physical
and mental vlgor. Talking, lately, with a

judgments as positively as fresh collie

the best candidate yet mentioned Charles
Francis Adams is statesman of the old
school | wish he could be president, but
he cannot be. The hardest load which the
democrats have TO carry Is the south. The
war is over, and instead of taking modest
course, which experience ought TO show Is
the best, even If nothing but policy is to be
considered, the south wants to take its old
place in the party. This 1t cannot do, for
many reasons. 1t is under cloud, Its
prestige is gone, its wealth is gone, its
statesmen are gone, aud IL ought TO exer-

tune teaches. 1t ought to keep still and
permit the party of the north TO take the
lead. Then turning to the probable repub-
lican candidate, DIR. Gwin said Bristow Is
a good quarter horse; nothing more he can
run quarter of mile in good time, but he is
not a four-mile horse. He can't stand a
long race he can't stand the whip and
spur. Blaine ia good man, no doubt,
probably better than the others named I;
but he will not answer. / am afraid his
stable is not clean enough. There is, to
come to the point, only one man to be
found in the opposition-that man is
Grant. He is the republican candidate.
He is stronger than all of them. He will
sweep away all such goslngs as Bristow
and Morton. He is the only man to fear.
Hc has organization. His $4,000 office
holders are organized like the army of the
Potomac. Fear will make Grant the re-
publican candidate. When the republican
convention is held there will be a despond-
ing party, and they will say that Grant is a
certainty; we know what he is the peo-
pie have trusted him he has organization

No Clue to the Missing Maine Lady.

The distressing mystery surrounding the
disappearance Of Miss Clapp still remains
unsolved, aud her whereabouts unknown.
Five days have now expired since she left
her home, and her relatives are as much in
the dark as to where she is or whether she
is living or dead. The awful suspense
which her family is laborng under has be-
come almost unbearable. The aged father
is SO bowed down in his afllction that those
who are intimate with him say that he ap-
pears to have grown ten years older in his
locks within the past five days.
The missing girl was a tender-hearted
and loving daughter, Her mind has been
always clear. although of late che has been
quite depressed on account of feeble health.
She was member of the Episcopal church
and until recently had charge of Sunday
school class. There is every evidence that
when she left her home to consult her ply
stefan she intended to return. Nor ia there
any evidence that she went off with any
body Of her o~n accord, and by any ar
rangement beforehand Her father says
that she was naturally afraid of men, and
avoided them as much as possible, on ac-
count of timidity. i-. 81.
IT she has been cnticed away the pre-
sumption is that the top carriage seen near
the Unitarian church, and only few steps
from her place of residence, must have
conveyed her asay, as the person who got
into it and who was seen Just after she left
- n.,1, n At
was thought to be her, although not fully
identified by the parties, who were Miss
Clapp's neighbors. No trace Of this car
rage has been found. If she was abduct-
ed there is suspicion that she has met
with foul play, or at all events that no
sooner was she placed in the carriage than
| she expired from sudden attack Of heart
disease, with which she was troubled, and
that the parties who kidnapped her have
concealed her remains. o
The theory that she has drowned herself
in theriver is still adhered to by many,
| although there is not the least particle of
| evidence which goes TO show that she was
| bent on suicide, unless il was the mental
depression which she was laboring under
caused by her i'll health. This theory is
undoubtedly gaining ground in the absence
of facts. If she threw herself in the river
her body would not be apt to rise before
Saturday or Sunday next. 1t seems to be
generally believed now that she did not
stray away to the woods in that vicinity, as
they have been most thoroughly searched
aud no signs of her whereabouts discovered.
The afflicted family is receiving numer-
Gus calls from sympathzng friends and
neighbors. There is more talk of calling
public meeting with view to giving ali,
thority to the mayor to offer a reward for
her recovery, in case the missing young
lady has been fouley dealt with.

A Smoker Explodes a Gasoline Tank

Archibald Murray, young man of about
25, and employed in the Holyoke, Mass,
warp mill, met with surprising and near
ly fatal accident, Sunday forenoon. He
was exploring about the Inglesde ruins,
and entered the chamber containing the
gasoline tank, which supplied the hotel
when there was one. He had pipe in his
mouth, and, as soon as he entered the
room, the gas took fire and up he went
like a rocket, carrying the roof with him,
the building beng only about six feet by
eight. He came down like stick, with
the roof and dirt upon him, while the tank
was on fire about him. His companions
soon rescued him, with jaw and arm
broken, his head badly cut, besides other
bruises and some burns. Parties who were
on the river say the explosion sounded like
cannon, while the man and roof went up,
II is estimated, from ten to twenty feet
The escaping gas had so filled the sur
rounding earth that it burned until five
o'clock in the afternoon. If the man had
been alone and killed, it would have caused
a "mysterious disappearance" fit to battle
the best detective skill.

While DIR. Planck was In Troy, Satur-

BY THEIR FRUITS.

In opening the republican canvass in
New York, Roscoe Conkling, in abiding
to the fact that the platform makers had
placed both parties in substantial accord
upon the questions which have agitated
and divided the country during the past
twenty years, made good point against
tie democracy. While proposing to con-
slider live, not dead, issues, he said it was
important to refer to the record of the
democratic party, as from it only could
the people judge whether or not it was to
be trusted in the future. lie then referred
to it's course relative to the extension of
slavery the claim to the right of seces-
sion the right Of the nation to preserve
its existence by force the emancipation
proclamation the enlistment of freedmen ;
the abolition of slavery by the passage of
the thirteenth amendment the passage OF
the fourteenth amendment declaring citi-
zenship, equalizng congressional represen-
tation, declaring that the public debt should
be held sacred and that the rebel debt
should not be assumed and on the If
teenth amendment declaring that the right
OF suffrage should not be denied OF
abridged on account of race, color or pre-
vious condition of seryitude. Upon all of
these issues, the democratic platform now
acknowledged that the republicans. were
right and the democracy were wrong. If
the democracy were now insincere, they
were unworthy OF trust and were seeking
to obtain Office by false pretenses If they
were sincere, and let it be conceded that
they are, then il affords a " catalogue of
"blunders and confessions enough to dis
credit the judgment and competency of
men in any field of public administra-
tion."
The point is we'll taken. While we be-
lieve that the democracy are sincere in the
declaration that they accept as settled the
issues of the past and that no attempt will
be made, on their part. to reopen them in
the future, yet we do not believe that there
is any actual change of sentiment, but the
rather that they accept the issues as settled
for the same reason given by their leaders
on the floor of congress, that, in national
convention, they held it the duty of the
government to mete out equal and exact
Justice to the people, no matter what
might be their nativity, race, color or per-
suasion- namely that they were forced to
