to what they thought Of President
Cleveland's policy, and what Demo

The result is really startling as in
dicating the condition Of public SEN

cratic States. Out of 348 delegates
who expressed their views 325 de-
clared themselves in favor Of Cleve-

wanted to see Hill nominated. A
large majority cordially endorsed the

MANY persons suppose that moth
ing like the recent earthquake was
ever felt or witnessed in this coun-
try. The following taken from q
church history will prove Of great in
terest, as 1t is a description OF the
earthquakes of 1911 and 1872:
The years 1911 and 1872 were re-
markable for the number and terror
of earthquakes in the West. The
commissions we're frequent, and con-
tinued through several months. The
earthquake at New Madrid, Nilsson
ri, on the Mississippi, was the most
important that ever occurred in this
country of which we have any record.
Humboldt remarks that it presents
one of the few examples OF the in.
cessant quaking of the ground for
several successive months, far from
any volcano, over an extent of three
hundred miles in length. From the
mouth OF the Ohio TO that Of the St.
Francis river the ground rose and
sunk In great undulations, and lakes
were formed and again drained. The
surface burst open in assures from
which mud and water were thrown
as high as the tops OF the trees.
About the same time brilliant com
ct appeared in the heavens, and
strange lights we're seen, and there
were rumors Of wars with the Indi-
ans and with Great Britain. These
signs In the heavens, the shaking OF
the earth, and the dreadful alarm OF
bloody conflict produced in many
places great CONSERVATION, and the
people shook and were convulsed az
was the reeling earth beneath them.
Many fed from their own homes and
sought safety and refuge with their
Christian neighbors. The preachers
were everywhere implored to preach
and to pray for the people; there was
q great awakening among the inhab-
itants, while mems hearts failed
them, and their knees smote togeth.
err with fear. Such is poor, guilty
human nature-the preaching of the
gospel, the proclamation OF mercy
through Christ, the goodness of God,
fail to bring men to repentance; and
then when judgments come, they
tremble and fear, and like the wick
ed in the last day, call for rocks and
mountains to hide them from the
face of God. How much genuine
piety results from this state or things
Is not for man to determine; but il
| is evident when alarm is over, and
the apparent danger is past, many
turn, like the SOW that was washed,
to wallowing in the mire. No one
will say that these fears did not lead
thousands to repentance, but still the
record stands: "If they hear moi
Moses and the prophets, neither will
they be persuaded, though one rose
from the dead"

In several strong democratic ress:.aI-i
ties the democratic vote on the state
ticket In the late election fell behind
the same vote in 1884, because Of
the. weakness OF the opposition. But
this failure to vote may reduce the
representation of these counties in
the next democratic state convention
and lessen their influence in determ-
ming results. If for no other reason
than to show the party strength, all
able bodied democrats should vote In
tile state elections. The habitual
sstay at home" is only one remove
from man in the opposition. AL
though not voting against his party,
he does not take enough pride in it
to go TO the polls. He moves only
when aroused TO action by personal
interest or the fervent appeals Of ac-
tive workers to stretch forth hand
to avert defeat of the party. 1t will
be found, however, that the ssstay at
homes" are adopts as grumblers
when dissatisfied with results they
did nothing to prevent.-Gazette.

The ROSTERS can now be taken down,

pleasure enough without proddlng
your fallen foe further. 1t Is natural
to rejoice, and right also, but not to
exult over q defeated enemy. 1t is
always wise when your foe is defeat

we're after, and that you are too
high minded to kick man when he

splendid record Of having voted ac-

TIE sentiment against the saloon
and its accursed work among the
people is growing and taking deeper
root in the minds of the people every
day. Last year only three or four
counties went AGAINST LICENSE in
the state. This year so far as heard
from, the saloon is voted out OF Ne
vada, Garland, Clark, Hampstead,
Pope, johnson. Franklin and Ben
ton, with local and township victo-
ries scattered all over the state.
The strong sentiment against sa-
looms and the never ending AMI woful
trouble and strife which they breed
among the people, is every where
cropping out and finding expression
in the opposition OF not only the
good temperance men, but of many
men who do not even claim To be
temperance men. The .eaven of
temperance sentiment is working
among the masses and ere long it
will leayen the lump Of American
citizenship so as to lodge the saloon
out of public policy as an authorized
institution OF the country.

Earthquake Lore.

Earthquakes increase in number
toward the middle and end Of a cen
fury.
/. Since the creation OF the world,
100000 people have been killed
by earthquakes.
Points on the sea coast suffer more
than interior localities, but the int
rior is by no means exempt.
Possibly large islands and even
continents have been swallowed up
in earthquakes. The ancients be-
lieved that Atlantis disappeared in
a night, its millions OF people, it's
beautiful cities, and its bright civil
ization being annihilated by one
monster shock.
Earthquakes occur at all hours of
the day ard night, on land and sea,
in the low lands and in the high
lands, ON the seaboard and in the in
terror. Sometimes one shock is all.
Sometimes the shocks continue for
a year.
Permanent physical changes have
been produced by earthquakes Some
islands and coasts are gradually Fails
ing, while in this country the coasts
from Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras is
sinking at the rate of two feet in d
century. 1t is only question of
time as to when New York will be
under water.
Earthquakes have always been
rather common occurrences on the
Pacific coast. In California In 1852
a violent shock destroyed one Of the
old Spanish missions in the southern
part Of the state. In 1872 San Fran.
cisco was visited by several severe
shocks, and the walls of many OF the
finest and most substantial public
buildings were seriously cracked and
damaged. At various other times
the state has suffered similar vista
lions, but they were generally Of a
light character. Other parts OF the
west have had their share Of seismic
disturbances. In Nevada, In 1871,
Lone Pine and several settlements
were destroyed. The mines were
shaken up, and for time general
exodus was threatened.
