Next Earthquake Period.

Ordinarily the next return of volcatic action
occurs about Sept. %, but as the equinox Is on
the 22d We fear TINT evidences Of perturbation
may come about that time, especially rs the
concentration of its energies Is more intense
and its results threaten to be more disastrous
than that just passed. Happily 1t may go far
TO settle the question of quiet or trouble for
Charleston in the hopeful and eventful future.
On account Of Its severity we must, as in the
case of the one just gone by, look for action a
day or two earlier or later than otherwise, or
from Sept. 25 ten oil, twelve days, or through
the first week of october.

to organize the planters for the purpose
of agreeing not TO sell their cotton seed
for one year to the American Cotton Oil
Trust Company. They say the Oil COM
pany has resolved not to pay more than
So per ton for seed on the river
bank. The planters claim the seed
is worth more as fertilizer on
the lands, which in many localities are
badly In need Of il. They also claim that
by refraining as body from selling seed
to the oil company for one year they will
break up the monopoly OF the seed com.
pany. A number Of country papers have

VOORHEES, AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Republican Hypocrisy and Short
COmiDgs Clearly Exposed.

Republican Hypocrisy and Short
comings Clearly Exposed.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 27.-A Demo
cratic mass meeting was held here to-
night at which Senator voorhees, was the
principal speaker. The Senator began
his speech by condemning the Republi-
can party for denouncing the Democracy
for things of which the former had been
equally guilty, and then passed TO con-
sideratI0D of the Hayes-Tilden count. the
result of which he characterized as "a
triumph OF dishonest ballots and false
count" The speaker then reviewed the
Republican record in reference to the Pa
cific railway and whisky ring, charging
wholesale frauds. He then took up civil
service reform, and charged that
the Republican party has been dis
honest in its advocacy of that
measure. and quoted the statement OF
Gen. Cox, of Ohio, in support Of his as
sertions. In this portion OF his speech
the Senator dwelt particularly upon the
assessments Eof oficeholders by the Re-
publlcans. The remainder of his speech
on this point was devoted to a defense OF
the administrators appointees and re-
view of the shortcomings of the Republi-
can off1ceholders. The speaker then de-
nouuced the Republican financial and pub
lie land policies and lauded the position
of Democracy on the labor question. On
the subject of the tariff he said the Re-
publicans were indefinite and vague, and
declared himself in favor of tariff re-
vision, with view to reduction in the
tax. The Senator then took up the sub
iect of pensions, and argued in favor OF
an income tax to assist in raising the
rpVenua for THAR D9Vmpnt. In eDeAkIng
Of the Presidents vetoes of pension bills
he said he should not discuss their mer-
it's, and asserted that the President acted
from honest motives. He cited the action
of the House of Representatives in adopt
ing pension legislation as a refuta-
ton of the charge that Democrats
were at enmity with soldiers. He
defended Gen. Blacks course as
Pension Commissioner, and claimed that
the work of the Office made a splendid
showing. He charged the Republicans
with Insineerity and duplicity on the
liquor question, and argued in favor Of
the license system. The remainder of his
speech was devoted to an appeal to voters
TO keep the Democrats in power.
