FoUR thousand pounds of giant powder
exploded at Berkely, California, on Fri
day last, blowing twenty-five persons into
fragments. The factory in which the
explosion occurred manufactures cart
ridges for mining purposes. One cart
ridge, three-quarters of an inch in diam
eter and eight inches long, is said to be
sufficient to blow up small-sized build
ing. The cartridges explode easily, and
it is believed the explosion was caused
By workman having attempted to drive
screw with hammer into box con-
tanning the cartridges. The factory was
completely demolished, not bit of TIM
Der being left larger than lath. The
men in the factory were literally blown
to atoms. Large trees in the neighbor-
hood were broken TO pieces and buildings
a quarter of mile away were partially
demolished. The waters of the bav for
two miles were covered with the debris
hurled broadcast by the fearful eoncus-
sion.

The heavy wind of Sunday night was
a perfect tornado in portions of the Unit
ed States and did considerable damage.
In Missouri it proved very destructive to
life and property. Seventy eight persons
were killed at one place and many more
are reported missing. Almost every
building was blown down in the town of
Marshfeld aud fire started in to add to
the horrors. Some people were carried
away bodily. The wind stripped trees
OF their bark and carried telegraph poles
hundreds of rods. In Illinois the storm
was not so severe, although buildings
were blown down and lives lost. In this
state Whitewater. Oconomowoc, Beloit
and GAINESVILLE suffered by the destruction
OF buildings. A man was buried in the
ruins of his building near Beloit.

The investigation into the Whitaker
case continues although no testimony of
any Importance has been given. Almost
every che has settled down to the belief
that 1t was a case of disgraceful hazing
and that the cadet had nothing to do
with mutilating himself. 1t would be a
wise move to abolish the academy.

TILDEs will hardly withdraw from the
presidential contest This is something
to be deplored by the democratic party.
From present appearances, Tilden will
be the strongest candidate at the Cincin-
natl convention. The two-thirds rule
may possibly defeat him, but if numer-
cal majority dominates, Tilden in all
probability will be the next candidate.
Those who are disposed to look upon
Tilden's determined candidacy as griev-
ance, should consider that he more than
any other man has personally stronger
reasons to refuse to withdraw than any
other man whose name is mentioned in
connection with the presidency. He was
elected and defrauded. Obloquy was
heaped upon him. To withdraw from
the contest now is virtually to admit the
charges of attempted corruption which
were made against him. .Tilden became
strong man because of his able admin
istration as governor Of New York. His
weakness now comes from charges of
attempted corruption. Why should not
Sherman withdraw He was as badly
smirched as any man could be in the
successful villainy of Louisiana. Tilden
may be conscious of his innocence, and
there is no evidence to prove that he
pursued any methods that were not
strictly honorable. Why does not Blaine
withdraw? His record in congress on
railroad matters is darker than Tilden's
in his search for presidential elector.
Why does not Grant withdraw The
feeling against third term is stronger
than the indignation against Tilden for
his timidity or for his suspected attempts
at bribery.
The strongest objection to Tilden is
his cold, unsympathetic nature. He has
nothing to recommend him but his intel
lectuality. A man with more personal
magnetism would not be troubled by
continued reference to slight departure
from strict political integrity.
