President Cleveland and N Vitu-
peraliYe Press.

There is something very unfair and
contemplate in the treatment which
President Cleveland is receiving from
the press and leaders of the Republi-
can party. Nothing that he can do
seems to count for anything in this
malignant process. The President
has really applied himself with an
honest intent to carrying out the pro-
visions of very bad law, known as
that of the Civil Service, but without
avail. AS a result he finds himself
enyironed with enemies, and he is
being kicked to the very pricks while
intending to do the utmost good pos
sible by Pendleton's absurd Civil Ser
vice law. Instead of being thanked
for his gracious and hearty accept
ance of this new tangled enact
ment, President Cleveland is being
yilified in an atrocious manner. From
the Federal employees themselves he
receives no manner of recognition.
Instead of thanks he receives curses.
District Attorney Stone, OF the Dis
trict Court of the United States Tor
the Western District of Pennsylvania,
lately wrote to the President assum-
ing that he (Stone) stood on the same
ground upon Which Benton stood in
Miss ouri. The President, with high
spirit which does him honor, immedi-
ately pointed out the fact that Stone
had employed his facile jaw In abuse
of the head of the nation and IN
vituperative arraignment OF the party
at whose magnanimous sutferance he
enjoyed office. The whole people,
without distinction of party, will ac-
claim the Presidents action in rebuk-
ing this composite of the slave-seek-
ing officeholder and the clown repell.
ing obligation. Mr.. Cleveland has in
truth held himself too much bound
by the restraints of hypocritical
class of men who have not only
nothing in common with him, but
nothing in common with the Demo
cratic party. These people are always
claiming everything and conceding
nothing. The HERALD has never
paltered witlsits ideas about the pub
lie veal. 1t believes emphatically in
rotation in office-the genuine old
Democratic notion. 1t believes IN
bouncing, with the high kicker step,
all the wretches, like Stone, who
would like to run with the Federal
hounds and hunt with the Federal
hares, and who, at the same time,
would bite the hand that fed them.
From all we can gather, we are in
clined to think that new and whole
some era has set in, and We are glad
of it. There ought to be no preci-
pice too steep-unfortunately we have
no modern Tarpeian rock-from
which to precipitate the Republican
ingrates who want to hold office, and
yet who desire to claim the privilege
Of abusing the honest Democratic
President who has continued them in
place. But, all the same, the fellow
of this kidney ought to be hunted
with hounds and horn from the land,
and made to realize that he should
not turn and bite the hand that fed
him. The old refrain of turning the
rascals cut is good one. 1t might
very we'll be replaced by "Turn the
ipgrates out'-turn out the fellows
who gladly gather in the Federal
perquisites, and who yet sting the
bosom which has nourished them.

A BIG QUAKE.
GREECE AND EGYPT VISITED BY AN
EARTHQUAKE.
Three Hundred Lives Lost-Towns Twep.
from the Face Of the Earth.

tBy Ang'o-Ameriean cable to the Dispatch.l
ATHENS, August 2S.-Greece has
again been visited by an earthquake,
which has been the most disastrous in
Morea, and in which the loss Of life,
according to the best information,
reaches the enormous figure OF 300.
The village Of Pyrgo and the town Of
Philiatra, both situated on the western
coast Of Morea, were the chief suffer
ers, and these furnish, it is believed, all
that have persisted. In Pyrgo not a
house Is left standing, while Philistra
is almost swept from the face OF the
globe. swallowed up in commissions OF
the earth.
The shocks were experienced through
out Greece in a greater or less degree.
In the town Of Zante every house was
damaged, and the inhabitants fed in
terror to the open country. Several
towns in Italy were also visited by the
earthquake, but not to any serious ex-
tent. Naples. Brindisi, Foggia, Ca.
serta, and Taranta being also Of the
number visited.
ALEXANDRIA, August 28.-Violent
shocks of earthquake have been expe-
perienced here and in other parts Of
Egypt, causing terror among the ma
tiyes, but so far as known doing no Sc
riods damage.
ROME, August 2s.-AmoDg The towns
in Italy where the earthquake was felt
are Syracuse, Reggie, Calabria, Poten-
"a, Pozzuoli, Bari, and Avellino. The
people were panic.stricken, and took
refuge in the fields and churches.
TIE INHABITANTS FOREWARNED.
LONDON, August 2S.--An earth
quake shock was experienced at Athens

that excessive heat, dead Gains, and
unusually high tides forwarned the IN.
habitants. The earthquake is supposed
to be of volcanic origin. Cable and
telegraph-wires are broken, and no news
has been received from the interior.
The cathedral at Pyrgo was destroyed.
A SECOND SHOCK AND THE PEOPLE
PANIC STRICKEN.
LoNDoN, August ga dispatch
from Naples says a second earthquake
shock has occurred there. The popu-
lation was crowdipg the streets, and
many families were fleeing from the
