A Great COmKlaEratkon In Japan
$4,000 Homes Destroyed.

TOXIC, Dec. 26.-The third disastrous
cOnfiagration within seven years oc-
Cured to-day. Miles of ground were
laid waste, Is 900 homes destroyed, and
SO, 900 persons made destitute. The
actual pecuniary loss is undetermined
yet. The loss Of life is reckoned at 100,
although nothing is certainly known.
The progress of the flames was SO rapid
as to Overtake and destroy many who
could give no sign. In several instan-
ces numerous unrecOgnizable bodies or
fragments have been found among the
ruins. Many again died from exposure
and cold the night succeeding the fire,
it being exceptionally bitter. AS hap
pened twice before in great fires, a con-
siderable part of the foreign district
was destroyed, including several mis-
one foreign newspaper office, the Toxic
Times. The United States Legation
was in danger, but escaped unharmed.
Extraordinary measures of relief were
instituted by the government authOri-
ties and private individuals, and no
efforts spared to alleviate the suffering,
but all these were necessarily INSULT
cient. There is a strong cry for imper-
ative action of the authorities prevent
ing future crowding together of in
f1amable structures, and for the organ
ization of an efficient brigade, which
is now unknown here, the common
multitude opposing them and clinging
blindly to old usages. The confident
expectation is that reforms will be in
trOduced, insuring that this will be the
last of the fatal destructive fires of
Toxic.

The Republican leaders are already
making preparations to repeat the reat
fraud of 1876. 1t matters not what may
be the voice of the people, they have
no intention of letting go their hold of
the reins of government. They prate
loudly about honest elections, but they
have once, by bribery. perjury and
fraud thwarted the fairly expressed
will of the people, and have formed a
grand conspiracy TO repeat their wick
ed and criminal act in 1880. A WASH
ington special of the 10Th inst. to the
Enquirer writes:
"The only feature of it which agi-
tates the Republicans is, Who is to be
the nominee? Not q single Republican
member will conceda. even for the sake
of argument, that the result Is in je0p-
ardy. Why" said a very promin-
ent Republican not four and twenty
hours ago, 1--WE CAN NOMINATE A VEL
LER DOG AND ELECT HIM. We have
control of the Legislature in every
Northern State save Indiana. The at
tempt of the Democrats to steal Maine
away from the Republicans will be
cause sufficient to change the mode OF
electing Electors. We can elect either
by the Legislature or by Congression-
al representation, and the Democrats
will be powerless. By God!" he add
ed with emphasis, I'VE CAN PAVE THE
WAY FOR THE ELECTION OF OUR CAN
DIDATE BEFORE WE NOMINATE HIM,
AND WE MEAN TO DO 1T"
"It is laughable, in the light OF
events, to hear Democratic leaders be-
little these intentions. This kind OF
talk is nonsense. The past of the Re.
publican party shows that it can COM
NIT any act, no matter how audacious,
and the powerful press behind it, which
is loyal in every emergency, can Gre
ate q sentiment to sustain it.''

A colored man named Jonas Chris
topher makes complaint through the
columns Of the Cleveland Plain Dealer
of indignities heaped upon him by a
barber of his own race who keeps q
shop at Euclid street Station, in refus-
ing to cut his hair when called upon
to do so and to cap the climax and
add insult to injury, Jonas says that
when he carried the story of his foul
wrongs 10 the editor of the Leader, he
fatty refused to publish it., and the
insulted "man and brother" was driv-
en- to the necessity of appealing to the
public through the columns of the
"nigger" hating Plain Dealer. Here

tion Legislature to attend to.

The Chic miscegenation Legislature
is working away at the bill for the re-
peal of the law pi ohibiting the inter-
marriage of negroes andwhite persons,
and the noble Republican youth can
now look forward to the time when
no arbitrary copperhead law will stand
in the way of the full realization of
his noble ambition and when he can
fold the dusky Dinah to his manly
bosom, sip the nectar from her lips
and bask in the sunshine of her smiles.
He can then anticipate the day when
the effemminate pale faces will
give place to q race Of noble mahogany
colored men, and the great millennium
will be ushered in.

Parnell at Cleveland.

Parnell and Dillon, the great Irish
land reformers visited Cleveland on
Saturday. They were met at the
Union Depot by a monster crowd
The enthusiasm was uubounded, peo.
pie in their joy kissing the hands OF
the distinguished foreigners. The
streets leading to the hotel were
jammed. The party was escorted by
bands, the Emmett Guard and the Irish
Legion, and moved with difficulty.
An informal reception was held during
the afternoon, and in the evening an
immense procession, consisting of all
the Irish organizations in the city, mil
itary and social, formed and escorted
the guests to the Tabernacle, where
speaking was to take place. The line
of march was brilliantly lllumi mated
with calcium lights, and cheers rent
the air continually. In the Tabernacle
1000 people had gathered, while out
side the doors the street was wholly
blockaded by reason of the crush. ALI
along the route the demonstrations
were most lavish in character, and
Irish flags and emblems were conspic.
uous everywhere. Tbs Interior of the
Tabernacle was profusely decorated.
AS the face of Parnell appeared the
applause was deafenlng. The bands.
stationed in the galleries, played Irish
airs. Ex-Mayor Rose was introduced
as Chairman of the meeting and re-
sponded with a speech full of symps-
thy for Ireland and the cause of her
distressed people. The Rev. Father
Thorpe delivered the address of well
come to the guests, after which Par
nell spoke for about an hour. He said
his welcome In Cleveland had been
the grandest he had experienced since
leaving Ireland. Dillon followed in
a speech of considerable length, after
which a reries of resolutions express
i've of sympathy for the Irish cause
were adopted. A serenade took place
at the Weddell House at the close of
the meeting.

THE latest racket" on the farmers
is the census taking" A gentle
manly fellow drives up with blanks
for statistics of the farm-bushels of
wheat, number of cattle raised, acres
under cultivation, etc. Between the
tables and the foot of the page, where
the farmer signs his name attesting the
statement, is blank space, whose ex-
istence is accounted for as affOrding
room for miscellaneous information.
In a month more the farmer receives
notice from neighboring bank that
his note for $16O is due. He knows
nothing of the note, but investigation
shows that the census taker" has
filled in the blank with a promise to
pay. which being now in the hands of
an innocent holder, must be paid by
the unlucky dupe.-[Wayne Co. Dem.

The Radical politicians have the
most profound respect for the opin-
ions of State Supreme Court If they
only promote the interests of their
party, as in Maine; but if otherwise,
on the contrary, quite the reverse, as
in Florida, where the Supreme Court
of that State decided that the count OF
the Returning Board was illegal and
void and ordered new count to be
made. These gentlemen who profess
much generation for the decisions OF
high judicial tribunals utterly ignored
the decision of the Florida Court and
went right ahead in the preparation
Of the greatest CRIME in the annals OF
history.
