PANAMA, Sept. 1.-THE earthquake
shock which occurred early this morn
ing is unprecedented in severityin the
history of the Isthmus. Although Il
week has passed the Inhabitants re-
main in the same state of uneasiness
and fear. The damage here Ii roughly
estimated at $25, 900. The municipal
building and cathedral are badly dam
aged and almost the whole of the Or,
nate houses have been injured.
Malambo church has fallen and the
roof of Santaqua church has tumbled
in. Gen. Aigprichin's house in Gale
Real suffered severely, also Manuel
Hustacus and many others. Slighter
shocks have since occurred, but no
damage. All shocks were felt ON the
islands in the bay.
The tower composed of heavy blocks
of masonry fell through the roof. The
damage to the side aisles will amount
to at least $4,000. The number of pri-
vate houses damaged is very large.
No accurate estimate of losses can yet
be obtained. The walls of the Council
are badly cracked.
Some houses suffered at Taboca. La
Chorrera has been very unfortunate.
The church and cemetery are a mass
of ruins, and a number of houses have
fallen.
The earthquake was severely felt at
Chagres and opened numerous deep
assures from which stones and black
sand were thrown up. A number OF
houses fell in ruins and the air is still
pervaded with sulphuric smell. Along
the railroad the damage is extensive.
Some abutments and several bridges
cracked and split, and embankments
sunk in many places. Traffic inter
rupted for few days has been resum-
ed. Some places the rails were curved
as if Intentionally bent. Communi.
cation by cable is suspended. 1t is
supposed the cable was parted. The
sea was remarkably calm at the time
of the shock at Colon, showing the
earth's motion did not extend as sup
, posed to the West Indies. The inhab
itants are crowding to the churches a
every servise and the gaming tables
are deserted and most of the gambling
houses closed. Absolutely no news
has been received from Central Of
South America.

The Republicans of New York held
their State Convention at Saratoga on
Wednesday of last week, and on the
second ballot nominated Secretary
Folger for Governor. He was the Ar
thur and Conkling candidate, and al
ready there are signs of kick that
will spill the Republican fat. The
Albany Evening Journal, the old and
influential central organ of the party,
says:
"Plain words are best. The Sarato-
ga convention has signally failed to
respond to the sentiments of the Re-
publican party. The convention which
evolved the nomination of Folger from
the chaos of turbulent body and an
incapable chairman was not the con-
vention which the people elected at
the primaries. Treachery, greed and
cowardice ran swift race through the
hotel corridors at Saratoga, Tuesday
night, to the goal which Jay Gould
and the administration had 80 lavishly
gilded. The people were betrayed,
defrauded, sold out. There is no need
to mention names. Men grown gray
and fat in the we'll rewarded livery OF
the party cheated their constituents al
home at the bidding of the party's
worst enemies. We know them, oul
readers know them, and blush fol
them. Only in the most coldly formal
manner can the result their treason
procured be recognised by the party as
binding upon it. In the law of the
land fraud vitiates contracts. Perhaps
there is some such clause too in the
moral laws which govern honest mems
convictions and actions and votes"

ELECTION one week from next Tues
day. Let every Democrat be at the
polls.
LAST year the great objection raised
by the Republicans to Bookwalter was
that he had not always been Demo-
crat, while their objection to Newman
this year is that he has never been
anything else. These fellows are ex-
tremely difficult to please.

Labor and Capital.

The Logan Examiner, edited by Mr..
Thos. Hubbard, one of the most bril-
liant writers connected with the coun-
try press, lets fly the following shots
in regard to the matter of labor and
capital:
The best paid laborers in America
draw their wages from the earnings of
unprotected capital.
A tax upon labor for the benefit of
capital, is levy of tribute upon weari-
ness for the benefit of ease.
The heaviest tax that the laboring
man pays in this country is sneaking-
ly filched from him by the Republican
robber tariff.
Labor pays ALL" and capital gets
all. This is why capital prospers and
is happy, while labor dwells in poverty
and sorrow.
The protective tariff, divested of the
deceitful flummery by which its true
character is disguised by political DEM
agogues, is simply tax levied upon
labor for the benefit of capital.
The laboring men of this country
would not submit to be hitched like
horses to the carriages of the wealthy
but they do submit to what, in effect,
is the same thing.
The man who sawed the limb off be.
tween himself and the tree was not
wise. Neither is the laboring man
who imagines it to be to his interest to
contribute portion of his hard earned
| wages to the assistance of capital.
Nevertheless, this is exactly what is
demanded of him by the Republican
protective tariff system.
To test the matter: We will agree,
if somebody will furnish us with lot
of capital, to skirmish around and
protect" it against the assaults of la
bor without any assistance whatever
from the Republican protective tariff.
We make this proposition in good
faith, and in order to show what a
man of energy and vim can accomplish
in good cause.

The Democrats of New York held |
their State Convention at Syracuse on
Thursday last, and on The third ballot
nominated Grover Cleveland as their
candidate for Governor. The proceed
ings were entirely harmonious, and
the Democracy of the Empire State
will go into the fight this Fall with
united, solid columns, with the assur-
ance that victory will perch upon their
banners.
The platform adopted arraigns the
Republican Congress for falling to re-
duce taxation, and favors such tariff as
shall best serve the interests of all
classes condemns the river and har-
Dor bill; declares that in nominating
the Secretary of the Treasury we see
the alarming power of the Government
to control State elections; holds the
Republican administration responsible
for the unredressed wrongs upon our
foreign born citizens; charges the Re-
publican party in the State that refused
| to renominate its Governor because he
dared to use the veto power against the
demands of the dangerous monied ell
ement of the State; favors local self
government of cities favors the pas
sage of laws providing for security
against frauds at elections; and de-
clares that monopolies and corpora
tions be held subject to laws of the
States, and that corporate property
should pay fair proportion of the
public burden; supports the constitu-
tional amendments; favors free canals;
reafflrms the policy of the Democratic
party that labor be held free con-
demns convict labor; declares that
| labor shall have the same right as cap
ital to combine for its own protection ;
declares that the Government, State
and Nation should be restored to the
condition it was in during the primi-
tive days of the Republic.
John Kelly in speech, moved that
the platform be referred back to the
committee for the insertion of the
plank condemning the enormous
grants of public lands to private cor
porations, which was adopted. After
which, the list of delegates as agreed
upon from New York City were added
to the list.
General Pryor, of the Committee on
Resolutions, reported that he was in
structed to report the following plank
in the platform, and moved its incor-
poration therein
1--WE also arraign the Republican
party for its wholesale gift of the pub
lie lands to the railroad jobbers, thus
robbing the mass of the people of their
rightful inheritance, and we demand
that, so far as possible, these lands
shall be reclaimed and reserved for
occupation by actual settlers, and we
request the Democratic members in
Congress from the State of New York
to use their power to secure this great
blessing"

The Republicans of Ohio have held
power in all departments of the State
Government, do not seem to have
demonstrated their ability and the
sincerity of their desire to enforce the
liquor laws already on the statute book,
and their howl about temperance at
this late day Is mere hypocritical cant.
FOR twenty years the departments
of the governments at Washington have
had no inspection beyond what those
interested in concealment have made.
In view of the fact that the cost of
running the government is constantly
on the increase, isn't it about time
there should be change?

sippi, from his seat in Congress. and
denouncing him as the head of the

The Cleveland Leader says "the
Democratic party from its earliest ex-
istence favored free trade or low wages
tariff" That assertion conveys by
way of inference an unmitigated false
hood. The history of tariff legislation
in this country has failed to demon
strate that low and unremunerative
wages is an incident of revenue tar
iff, or that protection " insures to the
working man remunerative wages.
On the contrary, quite the reverse is
the fact. In the days gone by, when
the Democratic doctrine of "a tariff
for revenue only" prevailed, the la
boring people were prosperous, con-
tented and happy, and none of those
chickering's, contentious and strikes
which so much prevail under the Re-
publican system of fostering monopo-
lists, were known.

Dispatches OF Saturday give accounts
of destructive storm that had pre-
vailed throughout the East for three
days previous. At Port Jarvis, New
burg and POukeepsig, N. Y, at Bor-
dentown, Patterson and Plainfield, N.
J., and at other points in the East,
dams and bridges were swept away,
streets and cellars and railroad tracks
flooded and a vast amount of property
destroyed. 1t is estimated that the

The Republicans are exceedingly
anxious to force the Democracy to
take hand in the fight that is raging
in the ranks of the happy family, but
with little success. Democrats can
watch the progress of the melee over
the unconstitutional legislation of the
Poker Legislature last Winter as un-
concernedIy as the old woman did
when her husband and the bear were
locked in a loving embrace.

high protective tariff, and the per cent
age of increase in the aggregate wealth
of the country for the decade was So.
From 1910 to 1850 the tariff was modi-
fed and lowered, and the per centage
of increase for the decade was 80. From
1850 to 1860, we had tariff for revenue
aud the increase in the aggregate
wealth of the country, during the de-
cade, was 1854 per cent. For the 20
years since 1860 the increase was rs
per cent. from 1860 to 1870, and 43 per
cent. from 1870 to 1880. A tariff lev
led for revenue is the best for the whole
couRtry.-[Eeneca Advertiser.

THE prohibitory liquor law is still
openly violated in nearly all the cities
of Kansas, though pretty strictly en-
forced in the rural districts. Leaven-
worth has III barrooms, in which bu-
siness is not interiered with, and the
owners pay the old city license, just
as they did before the law was passed.
Topeka has l04 public bars, and Atch-
ison 20. The largest place where liquor
is sold only out of sight is Emporia,
with 6 1000 Inhabitants.

THE Republicans profess to be in
favor of an" honest vote and fair
count" but at the same time they
would gerrymander the State in such
We" as to take to themselves sixteen
OF the twenty-one congressman, upon
a vote emitting them to not more than
majority of one in the Congressional
delegation. Now isn't that a pretty
commentary upon their professions of
honesty?

indeed, it is said to be the finest in
Eastern Ohio. Homer owns a large
white ware pottery, and is a strong ad-
vocate of a high protective tariff. He
says home industries must be protect

that he sends to Pittsburgh for his
bricklayers and to Cleveland for his
carpenters. How much protection
does that kind of work give the city of

do good, but he rather chooses to do

HARPER's Weekly has the following
to say about the Republican assessment
extortiOn:
1.-The persons assessed included day
labOrers in navy yards, workmen on
the Government works, messenger
boys, women clerks, hostlers, matrons.
Indian assistants, nurses, laundresses,
washerwomen and scrubbing women
in the Indian training schools and
public offices. The committee cast a
drag net over the whole civil service.
then combed it with an iron comb.
Webster, speaking fifty years ago of
an inquisition for spoils, did not dream
of search so remOrseless and rapa-
cious. The mean terror of the spoils
system never touched so low depth
of degradation, and at no abuse of the
power of patronage was the country
more justly indignant"
