MIR. McCullough,s Difculty.

Evansville Tribuno-N News (Dem.)
We do sincerely wish that Mr.. Mccullough
could see the error of his way and make amends
before certain vote of the party is irretrievably
estranged from him. There are those who would
gladly vote for him if he would place himself
squarely in party lines but who will vote against
him If he persists in pursuing his present course
He should bear this in mind, and when he reads
the returns next November should remember
that it was lis own hardihood.

The CoIored Vote.
Baltimore American.


The voteless Democrats of Washington do not
object to President Cleveland 'iiberalizing and
dividing" the colored vote, but they can't see
why he should begin in the District of Columbia
by appointing Mr. Matthews, the Albany colored
lawyer to one of the best offices in the District,
when. so many of them wanted a chance at it.
They think he might at least have begun opera
tons in locality where the right of franchise
was not denied a citizen. 'Liberaizng and di-
viding" vote whch does not exist strikes them
as somewhat anomalous not to say abnormal.

THE people of New York are becoming
famous for the way in which they do not do
things in the way they should be done. They
made failure Of raising the fund for the
pedestal of the big statue till Western man
went to that city and showed them how, at
the same time giving them a lesson on how to
manage daily paper of size. They also made
dismal and humiliating failure Of the pro-
posed Grant monument fund, and it is not
certain but that it is worse off now than if no
attempt had been made to raise it, And now
that it is approaching the time when Bar
tholdi's magnificent creation is to be unveiled
it is discovered that Congress made no pro-
vision for lighting the same, and it is prob
able that it will go unlighted till an act of
Congress shall make such preceding accord
ing to law 1t other parts Of the country the
light would be attended to first and permits
sion asked afterward. 1t is not likely that
any one would be consigned to prison for put
ting light at the top Of that monument with
out the formality of asking permission of the
government, though, of course, in such mat
ters as lights along the coast and harbors of
the Atlantic it is necessary to have some I'M

Dougherty and Judge Nolan each adj

were there The meeting was one of
the largest ever held in the State. The

loyal for Dougherty. The speeches were
fine and pleased the people well. Mr..

The Shattered buildings

Mr.. Ii. w. Grady, of the Atlanta con-
stitution, has personally inspecte ed the
situation in Charleston since the earth

ings in that city he says:

situation: You take carriage i'll any
part of the city, and order your driver
to proceed Immediately. You pass side
wakes piled knee high with debris.
Every other house, and for blocks every
house, has lost its coping, porticos often
its entire front. Great cracks from an
inch to two feet wide seam the buildings
in every raIt. Often chimneys have
plunged through the roof, and piaZZas
are hanging without support. \ house
unscathed in front is apt To have its en-
ends will have its center roof crushed in.
We saw hundred houses with both
ends out and furnished rooms exposed

deepest impression is that ninety of the

The Earthquake.

There was another earthquake shock
along the Atlantic Coast Sunday night.
1t was more severe at Savannah than
Charleston. n great por lion of the pop
ulation of both these cities are still
camped in the public squares, afraid to
return to their homes.
But the situation at present is more
favorable. Charleston, where the dam
age is greatest, is calming down, and
people resuming their usual avocations.
Business is going on, not quite as usual,
but fairly well, and as circumstances
will admit.
The telegraph says the worst is over.
We copy from the pres dispatches:
The prevailing belief here tonight is
that the worst is over and that the III
habltants are reasonably secure from
further yisitations of earthquake. This
belief is based mainly upon the assur-
ance of scientists who say there IS not
the slightest probability of a recurrence
of more powerful shocks after the lapse
of so much time. With a feeling of
comparative security thus engendered.
the citizens who left the city in hot haste
to elude danger have begun to return in
small numbers and visitors aud sight
seers are putting in their appearance.
Four times as many people Were reg as
tered for dinner at the hotels to-day as
at any time since the first visitation of
the earthquake, and all the available
rooms at the various hostelries are en-
gagged for tonight. Few, if any, of the
rooms would be occupied in case of
another shock, and that may come with
