CALCUTTA, Sedt. a9. Disastrous
floods covering an area of $500 square
miles, have occurred in the Presidency
of Bengal the largest and most popu-
lous of the twelve main division of
British India. A great amount OF
property has been destroyed and num-
bers of lives lost, many families have
been made destitute, and houses, crops,
and portable goods Of every description
have deem carried away by the floods
The Government authorities are dis.
tributing provisions and clothes, and
doing all they can to relieve the
suferes. False Point, which was thought
to have the best harbor between Cal
cutta and Bombay, safe, roomy and ac-
cessible to all ships, was struck by a
storm wave on the aad inst, and swept
so completely that most Of the inhabi-
tants perished.

"CoMPREHESsIvE AND coHEsivE.'

The policy of every Government is
measured by the effect produced upon
its subjects. If the effect is good, the
policy in most cases may be considered
sound. II discomfort and opposition
to the Government extends SO far as
to disaffect large portion Of the people
then it is pretty certain that something
Is radically wrong with the system Of
Government, or at least with its admin.
istration.
To speak of the comprehensive and
cohesive" power Of a Government that
is distrusted, as one of its merits, is to
illogically assume virtue in spite oi
the fact that such power is unlawfully
gotten. The true comprehensive and
cohesive" power Of Government rests
in the scope OF authority granted that
Government by the people. Whenever
the power is extended to meet ends
which lie without the limit of power
delegated by the consent of the gov
erned, then the men so using it are
properly denominated usurpers anc
tyrants.
Politics naturally grow out of the
maintenance of personal liberties, anC
the advent of opposing parties under
any form OF Government represents
conflicting interests Of classes Of peopl,
nothing more. The patriot who at
tempts to segregate personal interes
from abstract principle may help EN-
belish the poetry of history, but vii
fail in aiding the cause of humanit,
practically.
A Government to be comprehensive
must be inclusive of all classes and in
terests and above all self-interests ano
political factions A Government to bt
cohesive must have something to co
here besides its debts, bad faith, anc
the reimbursement of the best classes
of its citizens.
The Government which places itsel
upon the defensive against its subjects
and by its own acts alierates their sup
port and continues their disaffection
is in no way comprehensive Govern
ment, and cannot be internally co
hesive one. Under such circumstance
Government may for few year
assume it is both comprehensive ant
cohesive and manage to exist, but a
certain as Fate, with the logic Of event
following, it will soon be forced t
change its form or comply with tn
wishes Of the people
In the end, if the Government de
fies Fate, and refuses to recogniz
sound practical principles, which ar
founded in the nature Of man---the
the people will change its form withou
the concerts of the rulers.

New YORK, Sept. a4.-By the ar
rival to-day of the Pacific Mail steamer
rom Aspinwall, late advices are re-
ceiyed from Lima. General Caceres,
at last advices, was sojourning al
rarona. His forces now computed at
,,5oo men, with ten fieldpieces, are
catered over the country in that
neighborhood, but make no demonstra-
Jion toward Lima, where the Govern
ment has a garrison of 5000 soldiers.
Further south, at Pisco, lea and Chin
cha, the Cacerists are more active.
Those three places have fallen into their
hands, and in consequence an order
has been issued by the Treasury De

Spain and Germany.

1t is not reasonable to suppose that
Spanish indignation over Germany's
course in regard to the Caroline Islands
will vent itself in anything more for
midable than words. Unless Spain has
allies that the world knows nothing
about, it would be- absolute folly for
her to 60 to war with Germany. And
in the nature Of things it would
seem improbable that she has allies
as against Germany. That France
would sympathize with Spain in the
event of war cannot be doubted, but
France could not afford to extend AL
roNso active aid. Nothing has hap
pened to break the triple alliance that
nearly encircles the French republic
with a Gordon Of bayonets, and until
the parties to that alliance get at
daggers' points France must remain
passive. The only Powers re-
manning to which Spain could look
are England and Russia, and neither Of
these would at this juncture be in
hurry to forfeit the goodwill Of BIS
MARoK. 1t is possible, therefore, that
the solution of the trouble will be that
Germany will take what she wants of
Ire Carolina Islands, and that Spain
will seek consolation in the consump-
ton of an additional number Of cigar
cites per annum.

The Iron Men.


The iron manufacturers, the miners,
&C., &c. Of Southwest Virginia are
just now the particular objects of great
solicitude on the part Of the Malone
ties, who are endsavoring to convince
them that the Democrats as a party
would If they could SO change the tariff
laws IS to leave the workmen unpro-
tected. Just in the nick of time comes
along the report Of an interview re-
Gently had by the Secretary of the
Treasury, Mr.. MANNING, with q cor
respondent Of the Iron Age. Read:
Correspondent: Great stress is
laid on limiting taxation to the require
ments of the Government economically
administered
"The Secretary: THAT is the doc
trine of the [Chicagol platform, but,
then, in an explanatory clause it says
that the reduction must be made with
out depriving American labor Of the
ability to compete with foreign labor,
and without imposing lower rates OF
duty than would be sufficient to cover
the additional cost Of production due to
higher wages here"
That's explicit enough. Now, re-
member that Mr.. MANNING is a New
Yorker and the Presidents favorite
Cabinet officer, and you will be pre-.
pared to make a shrewd guess as to
what Mr.. CLEVELAND will have to
say on this subject whenever occasion
shall offer.

There ara IN Congress . few Repub-
licaSs who arc in favor Of . bimctallic
currency and . few Democrats who are
n favor Of monometallism. The ques-
ton Is not exactly party question,
therefore, but comes so near It that 1t
would not be far out Of the way to style
the Democrats the silver party and the
Republicans The anti-silver party.
In the face Of these facts, the Marion
Patriot and Herald rails against the
Democrats as follows:
"He lthe PRESIDENT will place his In
fluence and power in the hands Of the
gold bugs : Of Wall street. lie will
try to secure the passage Of an act by
Congress stopping the further coinage
of silver. In this way the circulating
medium will be no longer added to.
By such legislation gold will be placed
at a premium and silver at discount.
The gold is held chiefly by Wall-street
brokers and other spectators. They
will be greatly benefited by premium
on gold. The silver dollars are chiefly
out, circulating among and held by the
people. They will be reduced greatly
in value; the people will have to use
their money at discount, and be the
sufferers.
"what do the people think Of Pre-
sident Cleveland's war upon the silver
money!"
ALI the comment that we need make
upon the above follows. The Cincin-
matt Commercial Gazette. the leading
Republican bloody-shirt paper in Ohio,
says:
There is only one silver question,
and that is whether tho coinage Of two
million silver dollars per month shall
be stopped. Sherman and Foraker are
in favor Of stopping it,"
SHERMAN and FORAKER are the
allies in Ohio Of WISE, WOOD, BLAIR,
MALONE, and company.
