HURT IN A PANIC.

A False Cry OF Fire I'm Connecticut Tho
alter Causes Wild Rush for Life In
which Many Women and Children are
Hurt.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 20. There
was a serious panic last evening at Ben.
nctt's Museum. The audience was large
one, packing the house in every part, many
ladies and children being present. An
intoxicated man, who sat in the rear OF
the house. created disturbance and
was being elected, when some one
started a cry of fire. The audience
became alarmed in moment. A panic be
came inevitable. Men rose from their seats
and screamed while children cried and
women in their fear fell fainting. The
alarm became general, and there was q
rush for the exits, many moving
toward the stage and leaplng into the
orchestra. 1t was the usual scene enacted
In panic-the men losing their heads and
each seeking only his own safety. The
stronger pushed on regardless Of the
piteous appeals Of the weaker. When the
excitement was at its height Dale Arm

tone of voice assured the excited people that
there was no cause for alarm. His rcassur-
ing words had no perceptible effect at first
and for nearly two minutes pandemonium
prevailed.
In the midst of the excitement newsboy
leaped from the gallery, sustaining slight
injuries. The shrfeks of women, the cry.
ing of children and the hoarse utterances
of men made the scene one Of hor
ror. When the audience gained tho
street 1t was learned that the CRY
of fire was false alarm. Thirteen
ladies and double that number OF children
were more or less injured, and one man
had both legs broken in jumping from the
stage. Two ladies-were caught under lot
of chairs, and were extricated in badly
bruised condition, and minus most OF Their
clothing.

none except the vague general idea that
the party viii endeayOr to 90 run the
country rs 10 make its chance Of retain
ing power fonr years from now better
than its chances Of gaining power wero
at the opening of the present campaign
The Democratic party can fairly be
credited, therefore. with only one poll
icy, viz, an organized appetite-a de-
sire 10 remain in power. The only hint
yet given as 10 Mr.. Cleyeland's inten-
tons is that Daniel Manning is to be
Postmaster. General Cleveland can
stand a very few such appointments,
but many of them will render his de-
feat extremely easy four years from
now, and prove his unfitness even be-
fore he has taken the oath of Office.
There is q suspicion that Cleveland be-
longs TO the order of bummers. 1t Is
quite certain that Manning does. The
public will not soon forget that he was
the responsible editor of journal that
threatened with murder all men whose
views should lead them to adopt legal
mode OF deciding dispute in the cleo
toral count.
Another suspicion exists that In the
organization of the Democratic Admin
istration the South will represent the
Democratic dog and the North the Dem-
ocratic tail. This may or may not be
so. 1t is probable but not inevitable.
IL Is probable because nearly all the
States which the Democratic party con-
trolls are Southern States. Yet it is not
inevitable, because. in actual numbers
the Democratic voters of the Northern
States alone are twice as many as those
of the Southern. Although nine-tenths
of the Democratic States are Southern,
two-thirds of the Democratic voters are
Northern.
The only safe course to pursue in stat
ing the future course of the Democratic
party is to say that we shall probably
find it out as soon as the party itself
will. We know something of its record.
but the party is too slippery to be bound
by It's record. We know something OF
its tendencies, but these are conflicting
We know as much about its policies as
any Democrat knows, but we would not
give a pinch of snuff for all that is
known anywhere as to what the Demo-
cratic party will do. Nobody knows SO
little about that as the Democratic party
itself. 1t is fortunate that it has got
four months for reflection before 1t can
do anything. Chicago Inter Ocean.

WHAT WILL IT Do2

Democracy Dazed by Its Recent Victory
ana Doubts How to Act So as to Secure
Party Advantages.
The Democratic party has been so
long the party of fault-fnding and crit
icism that it is likely to feel somewhat
dazed for awhile at finding itself called
upon to become the party of action.
Everybody knows it is unprepared for
such contingency 1t is a quarter of
century since it felt its last throb of
conviction or framed its last policy. Its
conviction then was that slavery for
black men was as good n thing as lib
erty for whites, and its policy was to
put the two institutions on the same
terms and give them a scrub race.
Shall il on returning to power rean-
nounce its old convictions and policy?
If not, what is its stock in trade. It's
platform sheds no light upon the ques-
ton. 1t was framed expressly to catch
votes by conoeding principles. Its
newly-eiected President is no more lu-
minous that the platform. He has said
thas the Government should be admin
istercd like private business and on
business principles. But what does this
meanP Private business is conducted
simply to make money, and business
principles consist in making the most
money possible out of given invest
ment of capital, labor and skill. Docs
Mr.. Cleveland mean that the Govern
ment of the United States is to be adj
ministered for private profit upon
strictly selfish principles, and without
public spirit? IL this were what he
thought, Ii would not be what he would
say.
The fact is IL Is not a very good OF
wise shibbolcth to say that the Govern
merit is 70 b. administered like private
business. IL does not correctly define
anyl'ody's notions of government.
Where, thea. are we to look for q
Democratic policyP AS yet there il

FROM WASHINGTON.

SECRETARY MCCULLoH recently received
letter from a resident of Riga, Russia,
inclosing a 500 note of the Confederate
States, which he said he inherited from his
uncle, and wanted it exchanged for cur

er with the information that it was worth
less.
THE President on the 23d nominated Com
mander Winfield Scott Schlev. of the
Greedy expedition, for the post of Chief OF

THE Secretary of the Interior, in reply
to a recent inquiry from a resident OF
Kansas whether he could pre-empt land
in Indian Territory, says: There is nc

go into the Territory now will simply lose

THE Senate has confirmed the nominal
tion of Mr.. w. B. Thompson, of Michigan,
TO be Second Assistant Postmaster-G Gen

A COMPARISON of the list of names in the

About the New Treaties.

WASHINGTON, Dec 29.-Secretary Ere

the Spanish treaty is to be withdrawn, said
that i'm fact there is no foundation for it

Minister had been authorized by his Gov
