THE CHURCH Il ND STAT PARTY
The So called American Prohibition
party held a National Convention in
Chicago last week. This is the God in.
the Constitution party, or the party
which favors Il virtual union of Church
and State, the anti-liberty party. the
party which demands that its hobbies
and peculiar moral, social and religious
ideas shall be forced upon the people by
federal and State laws. 1t has no re-
spect for the feelings or wishes of 9TH
ers, and believes that the majority,
however small the majority may be, is
omnipotent and can DO no wrong.
The platform adopted declares
That the G ID of the Christian scrip
lures is the anthor Of civil government
fAvOrs the use of the Bible in schools
asserts that God requires and man
needs /: Sabbath; demands strict prOhi-
bition laws; the Withdrawal of all char.
ters to secret lodges and their Oaths
prohibited 10y law.
This fanatical body finished it's work
by nominating 5. G. P"meroy: of Kan.
sas, 1anliliarly known us ''subsidy
Pomeroy." lis its candidate for Presi.
dent. Pomer"y is the man who paid
over to Il member .: the Kansas legis
lature Il large sum, 600 or 81 GOO, il,
an attempt to secure the II einher'>
vote for Pomeroy for United State:
Senator. The member laid the wl"!,
matter before the legislature, and tl,t
money was turned into il fund, to bt
used i'll prosecuting Pomeroy for brib
cry.
This is probably q lt candidate fo
that class of men who think that thei
particular religion is the only true one
and that it must he enforce d by law.

EarthQuake Phenomena.
ropular seience Mon,hly

FopulaE Science Monthly.
 The causes of earthquakes have long been the subjec, of many conjectures. The numerous investigations of later years have contributed much 70 define their characters and several data re- gently acquired tend further to make their mechanism clear. IL Is known that the shocks are by no means distributed at haphazard over the surface of the globe. The countries where the strata have pre- served their original horizontal position. like the north of France. par of Bel gium. ard the most of Russia. are privi- legged with tranquility Violent commo- tions are manifested particularly in re- gions that have suffered considerable mechanic |! accidents, and have acquired their last relief al recent epoch. like the region of the Alps, Italy and Sicily.
 The tracts that are simultaneously dis turbed by the same shock most ire quen,ly comprise arcs of from 5 10 I5e. or from zoo to I,5oo kilometres. They rarely include much more considerable fraction of the globe: although the cele- bra,ed catastrophe al Lisbon on the I st of November. i755. extended over some i70 or iS'. into Africa and the two America., or over surface equal 10 abou, four times that of Europe.
 The detailed examination of many earthquakes has enabled Us to determine the centre of the shocks AS well as the contours of the distprbed areas. From the manner in which the latter surfaces agree with the lines ot pre-. existence dis locations, several of the most disun- guished geologis,s. including MT. Dana M Suess and Albert Helm. have eonsld cred the shocks n question as connected with the formation of chains ot mount. aims, of which they may oe kind of con- tinuation.
 In fact. the crust oi the earth every where shows the enormous effects eNer- cised by the lateral pressures that have been in operation at ali ep"ehs. The strata. bent and bent over ag iin many times through thousands of metfes of thickness. as well as the great fractures that traverse them. are the eloquent Wit nesses of these mechanical actions. Not- ~ithstanding the apparent tranquility now reignlng on the surface of the globe, equilibrium does not exist in the earth. and commotons have not been arrested in its depths. The proof of this Is found |. not only Tn earthquakes. but also in the slow movements of the soil, of elevation and depression "a kind of warpiug. which has continued to manifest itself within historical times in all part, oi the globe.

English Railway Carriages.

We took occasion not long ago 10 speak with proper contempt of the absurd fashion still Tn vogue in England and on the continent of cooping up passengers like cattle in the compartments of rail way cars. Max O'rell. the witty French man whatever his real name may be whose recent book, John Bull ct son He. has made such stir n the Ugh, litile isle," touches on this point and re, la,es in graphic manner the terrors of the English railway system speaking of dangers which environ the inexperienced foreigner he says:
