publish domination has sustained III the
United States senate viii certainly not be
lessened BY the bearing OF the two defeat
ed leaders Of the republican minority.
Senator Edmunds visibly lost his temper
and Senator Conkliug mouthed she famous
old phrases about an unholy coalition.
These eminent politicians have not hereto.
fore been classed among the simple of the
earth; but when we contrast their present
attitude before the country with that of
the more astute Senator Blaine, who has
for the time withdrawn himself frem the
battle. it is impossible not be reminded Of
the saying of the wise king in the
Scriptures: "a prudent man fereseeth
the evil and hideth himself, but the simple
pass on and are punished" That the
republican party must prepare itself to
accept defeat in the senate, as it has
already accepted defeat in the house Of
representatives, has been clear to all men
who has eyes to see, for months past.
Men capable of commanding great party
would have so handled their followers in
the senate, the last grand reserve of it's
forces, that when the inevitable moment
came il should at least not bring with il
dishonor as we'll as defeat,

Our dispatches last evening brought
pretty full reports Of the appalling calamity
which happened off the North Carolina
coast, by which the U. s. war steamer
Huron was dashed to pieces on the. rocks
near point called Kitty Hawk, and out OF
a crew Of 1875, over 100 we're lost. The
Huron was commanded by Capt. Geo. p.
Ryan, aud was bound for Havana, having
been out but twelve hours from Fortress
Monroe when she struck. She was an
irOn-screR prapelor, J4l tons hurthsn.
carrying four large guns, and was schooner
rugged. No assistance was rendered Il
the unfortunate vessel during her peril,
the alarm having been given too late for
any practical good. On Sunday the
steamer Swartara and Resolute and tug
Fortune, we're at the scene Of the wreck
and picking up the dead and living. The
vessel is a total loss. The wreck of this
steamer recalls the fact that she was de
nouDced by the late naval investigation al
himsily built, and her boilers were de
ciarcd unsafe. She is one Of Robeson
jobs, and was built over at cost Of 1907,

apprehension among republicans of the
fate that the future has in store for them.
1t is possible they may avert the disaster
