The resolution relating to the tariff
adopted al the late Illinois democratic
convention offers a marked contrast to the
shutting expressions OF opinion upon the
same subject to which so many conven-
lions have given utterance. 1t den0unces
the present tariff IN emphatic terms and
favOrs decided revision and reduction
of tariff duties in words equally unmis-
taxable.
The resolution relating to prohibition
expresses the ancient doctrine OF the dem
osratic party in explicit terms. While fa-
voring proper restrictions upon the sale
of Intoxicating drinks, it vet strongly OPP
poses any invasion by The government
upon the tastes and habits of citizens so
long as they are confined to orderly chan>
nels. This resolution but voices the ideas
of the vast majority Of the rational and
thinking people of this country, whose
sentiments are equally removed from
license and narrow puritanism,
The resolutions also called loudly for
laws preventing the competition of con
wet with honest labor. and while express
ing sympathy with men engaged IN earn,
Ing their livelihood b. their daily toll. yet
favor the strict enforcement of the. laws
against conspiracy and the protection Of
persons and property against mob VIC
lerce. This seems to refer directly to the
frequently lawless manner of conducting
strikes and hoycotts.
Thus upon the three most important
questions Of the day the democrats o. ILL
nois have spoken freely and unreserv-
eddy. as becomes meu with the courage of
their convictions.

Report of the Geological Survey.

WASHINGTON CITY, Sept. Mai Powell
director of the United States Geological sur
vey, furnishes the information that otserva-
tions at Washington showed the direction
of the shocks II earthquake Tuesday night to
he a very little north of east, and the vibra
tions from l15 To l30 per minute. This was
the Seth earthquake recorded in the United
States and Canada in twelve years This
earthquake, like earthquakes in general, IS at
tributed to internal disturbance, resulting in
contraction Of the eaith's crust, The oc-
currence of earthquakes in the eastern por
ton of the United States is attributed TO geo
logical facts, which are being carefully studied
by the geological sur vey, and which indicates
that IN Georgia and the Carolinas. Virginia,
and on northward, there is a seward fitting
of the surface unquestionably connected with
the suhterrmean movements 1t may 5e
questioned whether there has ever been q gen
eral movement on any part Of the oarths
surface much more energetic or rapid than
that now taking place along the Atlantic
slope, and the comparative immunity from
serious earthquakes is due more to the less
profound depth of this great displacement
and the absence of volcanic vents than TO the
absence of great earth movements
