DEAD LOOKS

The beauty of the two-thlrd.
rule in nominating conventions is
being aptIV illustrated by tho num-
crous dead-l6cks that have occur,
red since tho convention season
opened. The congressional con-
vention lately held in Denton tor
minated by turning two candidates
loose and giving tho Republicans
chance TO elect Q congressman
with minority of the votes of the
district. In the third district there
is u seeming probability OF n lock
at Longviow. 1t would seem to
be good policy If the minority
candidate would withdraw when it
is found that he cannot secure the
nomination, but IN far too many
cases the friends of the minority
candidate will not do SO preferrIng
to play dog in the manager. This
is bad policy to pursue and it
should not be encouraged by the
delegates TO conventions. The
good of the party ought of right to
be paramount, and candidates and
their friends ought willingly 10
make sacrifices for the general
good. There is really no occasion
for a dead lock in any convention
and were the two-thirds rule en-
tircIy abandoned there would
never be Gny dead locks, and as a
further consequences there would
never be any possibility of olccting
Republicans to Office IN Democrat
&c districts. Tho two-thirds rule
has been the causc of much mere
harm than good, and only in very
rare instances can it be shown 10
have accomplished any good what
evce. Too many dead LOCKS and
10 many promiscuous Democratic
candidates mr,''st eventually prove
disastrous to the Democracy an'
to tho Republicans.

THE Galveston News, which for

ward Terrell for the senate, says :
Terrell should ponder heavily on
the fate of Gibbs. The dark-lan-
tern lodges are taking considerable

ought to be fatal TO a real Demo
GRAFT" Terrell has been posing
before rural audiences as an anti
mo2opoIist and opponent of cor
poratIons. He has been telling the
farmers how railroads have ruined
them. Terrell has been advocat-
ing doctrines bordering on COM
munlsm. He has been trying to
mako farmers and workingmcn be-
licvo that they are oppressed by
capitalists and be woGld have the
people divide into classes and ar
ray one class against another. All
kinds of people are necessary in
this country and all are mutually
dependent upon each other. Po-
litically there are no distinctions,
one citizen is no better than an
other. 1t is only the demagogue
that appeals to class prejudices and
who advocates class legislation.

shock was at 11.55 last night. The
people are just beginning to pick
up courage to come out. For two
long days and nights of horror

the houses and public buildings in
the city are either damaged or
wrecked. The shocks, from 9:55

ALL was quiet in Charleston on
Sunday. Hardly q church in the
city is considered safe for occupan-
cy and the ministers of the differ
ent denominations held services
in the public parks and in the
grounds adjoining the churches.
The city appraiser and those who
are familiar with the value OF pro-
perty say 1t will cost at least S.
100000 to put Charleston in as
good condition as it was before the
shake. Scarcely a sound house is
left standing. At leaast 5000 per-
sons will need shelter for some
weeks to come. A dispatch says
difficulty would be encountered in
attempting to exaggerate the con-
dition of Charleston at this time.
There was another slight shock at

two seconds. The prevailing be-
lief is that the worst Is over and
that the people are reasonably Sc

THE EARTHQUAKE.

The beautiful city of Charleston,
S. c., is now a scene of dcsolation
and destruction, a considerable
portion of the city is in ruins. At
9:53 Tuesday evening the 3lst ult.
the first shock of the earthquake
was felt. 1t is thus described by
a writer on the Charleston News
and Courier. First there was n
tremor as by the passing of a
heavily loaded wagon on the street.
For two or three seconds the &C.
currance created no surprise. Then
by swift degrees the sound deepen
cd in volume, the tremor became
moro decided and ratified the win
dows, gas fixtures and other loose
objects. Then all was bcwildermcnt
and confusion. Then a long roll
deepcned and spread INTO an awful
roar that seemed to pcrvadc AT
once the troubled earth and still
air above and around. The whole
building quivered as though being
shaken by a hand of unreasonable
power. From first to last it was a
q continuous jar only adding
force at every moment, and as it
approached and reached the climax
of its manifestations 1t seemed ter
rible for seconds that no work of
human hands could possibly sur
vive the shocks. People abandon
ed their houses not waiting to pay
any attention TO treasure, life alone
was the object. The second shock
of the earthquake occurred eight
later. Until long after
the streets were filled
with fugltives and through the long
hours that followed until daylight
but few eyes were closed in sleep.
The loss of life was not so great
rs might have been expected con-
'idering the number of buildings
hat tumbled down. 1t Is suppos-
ID that about sixty persons were
killed and wounded. Several
allen buildings caught fire and in
he scare and disorder that pre-
allied 1T was some time before the
ire department could turn out.
The loss of property is estimated
It from Ss,OOO,OOO to S1O,OOO,OOO,
nd the lowest estimate is double
he loss occasioned by the cyclone
asst year. Three-fourths of the
in tho city will have TO
70 rebuilt.

The Galveston News contains q
lengthy editorial on the proposed
county convention in In which it
brings Sir Miles Crowley promi-
nently to the front. 1t says that
Sir Miles seemingly has autocratlc
control of the primaries. 1t says
the fact that the convention will
be called a Democratic convention
instead of Crowley convention
will not change the material as
poets of the situation. The ticket
will be branded "straIght Demo
cratic" and all good Democrats
are expected to swallow 1t.
