We walk the earth, IL is firm beneath our
tread, and we never think Of danger. Yet
IL is possible, at any time and place, that
this solid foundation may be convulsed
like stormy ocean, rising and falling, and
opening awful, unimaginable depths to en-
gulf all people and all, even their proudest,
works forever,
Earthquakes have theirappointed periods.
Yet we do not know when or where they
may come. This, alone, is positive, that
every part OF the world has been visited by
them, and is stlTl liable to their visitation.
Such disturbances occur with most fire.
quency in southern ATTITUDES Yet so little
is understood, such mystery surrounds
them, that predictions are Idle.
From various facts and indications 1t Is
possible that another earthquake period is
about to startle this great globe of ours
Mexico and Central America have shuddered
under the stroke within the past two weeks
Adobe houses fell, people were thrown to
the ground. Who shall say that here IL
endsP The region mentioned is familiar
with calamities resulting from this cause.
Three minutes only were required to sink
under the waves, in 1902, the capital city
Of Jamaica--Port Royal. San Salvador, in
1873, was utterly destroyed Many times
South America has waved like banner In a
tempest and been rent apart.
May such disaster visit our country I'm
doubtedly. We have not been exempt in
the past For several months, In 1911, the
Mississippi valley quaked through many
hundred miles. Lakes appeared or dlsap-
peared; the ground tossed like pillows.
New England and the middle states re-
ceived their experience long before, in 1855.
There was noise like thunder; people were
Frustrated like the slain in battle. Houses
were cast down or dlslocated in Boston.
Fences roamed wildly away, confusing all
boundaries Of farms.
California's earthquakes have been nu-
merous. Within our knowledge, the south
en states have received but a few gentle
shocks. Before their settlement by the
whites doubtless they had their share.
Should the genuine Central American
article ever touch our cities they must
tumble like children's houses of cards, for
they are not constructed to withstand even
n moderate earthquake. Let us hope that
we may never meet the trial.

period Of tender adolescence. II had no
experience, nor had it any modern example
to show how Democratic administration
ought to he run. But It had the sweet
credulity Of youth, aud wicked Democrats
took advantage of It's innocent trustfulness
to get appointments for bad men. We can
think of nothing meancr than such dcccp-

ity party to control the state. Our onlyhope
Of Republican success, as we then and re-
peatedly thereafter declared, was that lead
ing Democrats outside Of the Old Dominion
might be induced, as a matter Of sound ma
tional policy, to advise the Virginia contln-
gent to desist from the purpose of defeating
majority by fraud.
In this purpose we failed. The ballot
boxes were handled and the votes inspected
and counted by Democrats alone. The cleo
ton did not elect. Had there been 10000
Republican majority the net result would
not have been changed.

IT is not good policy TO attempt by legis-
lation to prevent the making Of contracts
requiring payment in gold. In this free
country two parties have a right TO make a
contract STIMULATING that payment shall be
made in wild cats, peanuts, potatoes, or
any other article whose sale and use are not
prohibited by law, The friends Of silver
should keep cool, and let the other side do

their ready promises, in echo Of the honest

Mr.. GLADsToNE's great speech Of Thurs

rule for Ireland would not violate the integ-

encouraging utterance that the nationalists
have heard from any quarter, and it gives
the keynote of the next campaign.
