ASto I%arthatiakcS.

There has been collated "a list of over
z 900 earthquakes i'll the range of his
tory, and il Is estimated that 1900, 900
the world began. Considering the area
of the earths surface covered by water
it is believed that there is an average Of
an earthquake shock for every day in
the year.
There are many theories regarding the
cause of these dreadful commissions of
the earth, but no one satisfactory has
yet been advanced. There is a growing
tendency to dIscredlt our relationship
with other worlds as having nything To
do with the cause. 1t lis becoming an
an almost universal conviction that they
owe their origin to the internal fires of
the earth, and 10 them alone. Atmos-
pheric changes are supposed TO haye no
sort of connection with them. But, at
ter all, these are but theories, and the
fact that earthquakes come Is the one
startling thing that remains.
There Is no possibility of foretelllng
their visitation.
Greece, Italy, Egypt, Asia Minor and
North Africa belong to one of the three
great earthquake areas of the globe.
The other two are % the Andes, western
coast OF North America, kamschatka,
Japan and New Zealand, and (2l Arabia
and India, from the equator To twenty
degrees north.
No country or age of the world, how
ever, has escaped the earthquakes Wis
itation.
There was. in ancient times. at the
battle of Actium. in Judea, Sdo Is. -,
an earthquake which killed 10000 people.
The most remarkable and destructive
earthquake of which any account Is
found WAS at \ utioch. in which POI, 600
people lost their lives, This same city
had another which cost the lives of
81, 600 inhabitants.
In 1873 Calabria experienced an up
heavel in which 100, 900 persons persisted.
A branch of the same earthquake de-
stroyed Messina.
In 63 Herculaneum and Pompeii We're
partially destroyed by an earthquake.
They were. in 60, covered by the lava
of an eruption of Vesuv ius.
The -eat Lisbon 81 hquake occurred
on November LIST, 1. -. The city was
par ally submerged in the sea, and
&C, 900 people lC.t their lives. 1t is es-
timated by scientists that this memor-
able earthquake covered an area four
times the extent of Europe.
The year 50. chronicled AN carthquak e
at Naples from which 10000 lives were
lost.
Port Royal, jamaica, was swallowed
up by the sea in 1892, during an earth
quake disturbance.j
San Salvador suffered complete de
ST ruction in ITO.
Mexico had severe earthquake in
1858, which destroyed the aqueduct that
supplied the City of Mexico with water
The City of Caracas, in Venezuela,
was leveled by an earthquake in 1912.
Up to- that time il was thought to be sin
6ularly free from earthquake shocks.
The earth opened in several places and
buildings and inhabitants were engulfed.
Earthquakes have been freqent and
severe on the western coast of South
America. Quito, in Ecuador, was
nearly Destroyed in 1859. In 1868 Ecua-
dor was again visited severely.

In order to keep the expenses within the
appropriation, Public Printer Benedict has
discharged about five hundred employees. Did
anybody ever hear of discharges of employees
Just before an election under Republican rule,
except of Democrats who refused to be as
sessed for Republican campaign purposes ?
On the contrary, extra men were generally,
and for a few years always, put on the rolls
Just before an election. The expense was
not to be considered-it was the votes that
were important to party that had outlived
any usefulness it might have had, and a Re-
publican Congress would readily appropriate
money for any deficiency arising from such
expenditure. The Democratic party wants
appeal to the judgment and patriotism of vo-
tiers than attempt to debauch them by office
or money exacted from Office holders.

ga Champion of Honest Labor"

Mr.. Marine, the Republican nominee for
Congress, in this district, is not making much
of a stir in the district In fact we have not
come across one public utterance of his since
the campaign, nor have we heard of his max
ing any canvass. He may be in state of
mastery inactivity" Some party friends,
however, have put out circular in his be-
half. 1t may have originated from the Re-
publican campaign committee, and it desig-
mates Mr. Marine as "a Champion of Honest
Labor" The basis for the designation is
extracts of a speech by Mr.. Marine at q public
meeting at Woodbury. some time ago (date
not given) in favor of bill to make it I'M
lawful to work children under sixteen years
of age in factories.
The extracts are taken from report in the
Baltimore San. The report must be very
meagre, for the extracts fromit contain about
as near as nothing asi is possible to conceive.
Asa Democratic Legislature of Maryland
ten years ago enacted law prohibiting the
the employment of children under sixteen
years of age in factories, this great speech OF
Mr.. Marine is of no importance now. Not
only did Democratic Legislature pass law
of this kind but established bureau of labor
statistics and passed several other laws fol
the protection and alienation of the condition
of laboring people.

The Civil Service Humbug.

Civil Service Commissioner Edgerton re-
Gently remarked that there is no State IN the
Union, where civil service was more hated at
one time than Indiana. He might have
omitted the words Eat one time" for it is
cordially despised there now. And ne can
mark down Maryland as another State whose
Democratic citizens, at least, have no sympa,
administration. Both of our Senators and
each of the three Democratic members would
vote for its repeal at the first opportunity
A Civil Service law requiring applicants fol
public positions to show good character fol
honesty, knowledge of the duties of the
positions they seek, and capacity for work
would meet with appreciation; provided
those in office were removable at will, and
the terms of all be only for four years, or
during the incumbency of the appointing
power. But the Democratic party does moi
approve of law that contemplates making q
privileged class, or excludes citizens over
thirty five years from one branch ofthe service,
and those over forty five from another. Neither
does the Dem oc ratio party believe that the
principles or policy of political party can
be applied and carried oat through the agencies
of its enemies. Hence, they believe that
Republicans should be replaced by Democrats
lust as soon as practicable.

Secretary Manning's Return.

Secretary Manning will return to Washing
ton about the middle of the month and resume
his duties at the Treasury Department. This
resumption of duty, however, will be expert
mental, and it is doubtful whether the result
will justify the Secretary in continuing. 1t is
his own desire, as well as that of the Presi-
dent, to remain at the head of the treasury,
but Mr.. Manning has no confidence in his
physical ability to assume full charge and re-
sponsibility of the multifarious and exacting
duties of the department. Those whose re-
lations with Mr.. Manning entitle their opin-
ions to consideration say that he expects to
continue nominally in charge until after the
reassembling of Congress, when he will insist
upon retiring, unless his health should in the
meantime so far improve as to justify his con-
tinuance. it is understood that Mr.. Man
ming would prefer to permanently retire at
once, but has consented to remain until De-
cember at the earnest request of the Presi-
dent, who believes he can better select snc-
cessor to Mr.. Manning after the results of the
approaching fall elections are known.

The Rivals.

The public has noticed that Messrs. Blaine,
Logan and Sherman have all stepped to the
front, recently, and actively engaged in party
affairs. When one of the trio appeared upon
the forum, it was the signal for the others to
do likewise, as they were evidently watching
each others every movement with vigilant
and jealous eyes. This means that they are
all three aspirants for Presidential honors,
and are determined to leave no measures I'M
tried to attain them. But the Presidency,
like the ignis .fatuus, seems to elude more
surely all those who pursue it most. There
is, therefore, small hope for either Messrs.
Sherman, Logan or Blaine.
