CLAPP'S CLAP-TRAP.
A Fellow Who Needs Reforming.

Washington, Sept. 3.-The New
York Republican association adjourned
sine die Saturday in compliance with
the Presidents order. The funds of
the association, after payment of all
outstanding obligations, were ordered
to be turned over to the Soldiers Home
at Bath, n. Y. A letter from A. NJ.
Clapp, of Buffalo, was read before ad-
journment. In conclusion he says: "Its
existence should not be cut short to
meet the behests of any one, no matter
how high OF low his state officially or
politically. Are we mere pariahs or
serfs that we must bow meekly to an
official order from the White House or
Interior Department? Must we sur
render our independence as citizens
and our integrity as Republicans, and
tear down or desert our Republican
association at the autocratic bidding
of potentates or powers? 1 for one
cannot consent to it. The abasement
is too deep to be reached without pro-
testation and an effort to prevent its
occurrence. This nation has reached
its centennial in history, and this is the
first instance in which the destruction
of peaceful and useful political organ
izations has been demanded to pro-
pitiate the seat of power. If this is
Republicanism 1 want no more of it,,
though I propose to be a Republican of
1856 so long as life lasts"

Wells and Anderson.

Washington, August 3.-The trial of
Wells and Anderson will be called this
month. Both left here last week full
of confidence that they would never be
convicted. They were not so hopeful
that they would be acquitted by the
jury, but it would be impossible, they
believe, to secure any verdict. The
President and Secretary Sherman are
understood to share this confidence.
Well informed parties in New Orleans
seem to take the same view. and while
admitting that the prosecution will be
vigorously pushed, their conviction is a
matter of much doubt.

IT Is now proposed to form a Central
American Union, and the proposal is
favorably received by Guatemala, Hon
duras and Salvador. Nicaragua and
Costa Rica are unwilling to renounce
their sovereignty, but their scruples may
be overcome should the other three
States constitute one republic. The
scheme is, in fact, the revival of the
Central American Confederacy, which
existed from 1924 to 1889, when it was
dissolved, owing in part to the lack of
facilities for inter-communication. As
that obstacle no longer exists, the new
Union might have better luck.

their furniture is destroyed. While
the fire was at its height a number of
persons on sheds in Phelan's yard were
thrown to the ground and badly in
jured. Hale's piano factory was very
extensive establishment, turning out
about 100 pianos a week.
THF ERE ORIGINATED
through Nicholas Monk, a varnish-rub-
ber, who was heating some varnish
over a stove. While his back was
turned it got ablaze and the flames
spread like flash. He fed at once for
his life, giving the alarm as he ran, but
the windows being open the flames
SWEPT THROUGH THE BUILDING,
finding fresh fuel every step. 1t is
supposed that about two hundred men
were employed in the building at the
time-on the second floor, twenty-six;
on the fourth, thirty-one; and in the
fifth, sixth and other floors about one
hundred and fifty. 1t cannot yet be
ascertained how many have been
burned in the building. The hatch
ways in one corner were open and the
flames rushed to the upper stories as if
through a flue. Several fremen say
that from the windows of the upper
story of the factory men were calling
for ladders and 'help for Gods sake!"
But the ladders were not long enough
to reach them, and even if they were
they could not be placed in position,
owing to the intense heat. Some fell
to the pavement, and others after
wildly waving their arms fell back into
the burning mass behind them.
BURIED BENEATH THE WALLS.
The great eight-story wall on Thirty
sixth street fell almost without notice.
Those buried under it will not be known
until the debris is moved away.

occurred contained seven women and
two or three men. Mrs. Sue Kean, the
landlady, was instantly killed.
The widest excitement prevailed as
the flames leaped to adjoining buildings,
mainly tenement houses, and men,
women and children fled for their lives.
Up to late hour tonight, it was i'm
possible to obtain a list of killed or
wounded.

REPORTS from Washington say that
General Howard has used the greatest
caution in his campaign against the
Nez Perces. This shows the genius of
a great general, for it has all along been
evident that great caution was neces-
sary on Howard's part to prevent
Joseph's finding him before he found
Joseph. He has not always succeeded
in this, however, and still greater eau
tion will be essential. If the utmost
care is not used the ruthless savage will

sessions, and then there will be the

three months men to get him back,

THEREhas been considerable criticism
upon the custom now prevailing among
army officers Of signing their dispatch
es with their surnames only, their
titles being appended. This has been
called by some affectation. The fact is
that it is done in compliance with an
order from the Adjutant Generals
Office (No. Ss, October IA, 1879.
designed to effect economy in tele-
graphing. The paragraph referring to
this matter says: Gin signing tele-
gram the last name of an officer and
the designation Of his command or
Office are sufficient to make it authentic,
as; Kautz, commanding department;
Taylor, paymaster; Forbush, post adju-
tant; Wood assistant adjutant general
chandler, quartermaster; Haskill, COM
manding detachment.

To the carnal mind there is something that
is unpleasant in the sovereignty of God. Sin
full human nature would arrogate to itself
sovereignty. That spirit of rebellion which
is in US all by nature, is ready to prompt US
on all occasions to exclaim with an air of
selfassumed dignity and Importance, sover-
eighty to ourselves. "This," says human ma
ture, sis free world. Who is lord over Us p
We should remember that we are creatures
worms of the dust-and God is the Creator
For near six thousand years, God has gov
erned this world. To-day, Of the countless
millions of creatures that rejoice in heaven or
move upon this earth, or writhe in world Of
woe, there is not single one that is not con-
trolled. by God.
We should also reflect that God so governs
this world as not to interfere with our free
dom. Every human being is as free as it is
possible for a creature to be. God leaves US
all to the freedom of our own choice. Such
was the condition of Adam in the garden of
Paradise; and such is the condition of all
his descendants. God drags, by force, no
man to heaven. No man is taken to seat
at Gods right hand against bis will. God
drives to hell no man against his will.
"Choose ye this day." says God, to all men,
"whom ye will serve" eff God be God,
serve him, but if Baal be God, serve him"
Sin dug the pit of perdition, and it is sin that
sends men there and retains them there in
hopeless despair. Every ransomed son and
daughter of Adam may say:
"Grace first inscribed my name
In Gods eternal book
Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,
Who all my sorrows took"
Still, although it is grace that rescues from
the ruins of sin-grace that leads "our row.
ing feet to tread the heavenly road" every
individual is free to accept or reject that Of
fered grace.
