Sound Democracy.
New York Star.

New York Star.
The Illinois Democratic convention
cordially indorsed Mr.. Cleveland's
administration and adopted platform
sowing that it represented a party
whose Endorsement Democratic ad-
ministration has right to be proud Of.
Amoung many excellent resolutions
affirming an intelligent devotin to pop
ular rights and clear comprehension
OF public interests, none more worthy
of commendation can be found than
that relating to the tariff. 1t reads as
follows;
Resolved, that taxation OF the peo-
pie for other purposes than raising
revenue for the expenses OF the Gov
ernment, economically administered,
is robbery under the form of law
That we are in favor of reduction oi
the present unjust tariff to revenue
basis, and heartily indorse the actor
of those Democratic Representative
in Congress who were faithful to the
cause of tariff reform.
Here is clear presentation of sounC
Democratic doctrine, and a practica
application of the same to curren
event. The Congress of the Unitet
States has no power whatever unde
the Constitution to levy one cent O
tax for any other purpose than that o
raising the revenue necessary to NEE
the legitimate expenditure Of the Fed
eral Government. Any taxation 70
any other purpose, no matter what tn
pretext, is, as our Illinoise friends pu
it, robbery under the form of law,
Such being the case, the Democracy
as party defending the Constitution
and opposing the usurpation by Cor
gress of powers not granted to it,
bound to omit no effect to secure tn
reduction of the present unjust tari
to a revenue basis"
An able Illinois statesman led tn
, Democrats of the House in an effol
in this direction. He failed only b,
3 cause a member of other Democrat
deserted their party and voted wit
!, the Republicans on this question
!, The Illinois Democrats indorse the a
: ton of Mr., Morrison and those VII
1 voted with him, and thus, by implic
s ton, they repudiate the professt

Just day or two before the Guber-
material convention met in Nashville,
Bob and Alf Taylor dined together
with their father and mother at the
old home place. The conversation
naturally turned on the contest for
Governor, when the old lady remar-
ked:
"Now, Robert, I want you to prom
Use me to stay away from that conven-
tion down at Nashville this week and
not let your name go before it, for if
you do / believe they will nominate
you from what | hear about it, and as
Alfred has already received the nomi-
nation by one side, want you to keep
out of the way and not run against
him."
Mother" replied the gallant Bob
II will not attend the convention and
am not making any personal efforts
to secure the nomination, but 1 am in
the hands of my friends, and if they
do nominate me ! will make you one
promise"
"What is it, my SOM"
With his finger pointing at Alfred
he said:
"Tll promise you that baldheadeC
son of yours over there will not have
a hair left on his head when I gel
through with him."

The usual sequel to the marriage of
the coachman and the millionaire's
daughter has followed in the case Of
Victoria Notwithstanding. She has
left her Ernest in the company of an
other man, but whether the other
man was her father or another lover is
not certainly known. Coachman
Schilling, who seems to have been a
greater success as q lover than hus-
band, is all broke up, of course, and is
ready to annihilate the man, young
or old, who has enticed away his wife.
Had Ernest had as much hard sense
before his marriage as he has by this
time he would have known that wo-
man having the luxuries of million
aire home would soon tire of earning
her own and husbands living as an
ordinary member of an opera chorus
Coachmen and millionaire girls are
no exception to the ordinary fool
who have to endure some hard exper
fences before they learn anything
worth knowing.
Mr.. James manning, son Of the Sec
retary, is authority for the statemen
that the Secretary is improving rapi

return to his seat in the cabinet, al
though no consultation has been ha
with President Cleveland on tn
subject.

one watched the ruddy flames or the
pillars of clouds rising high into the
still night air Each was too intent
on listening with strained senses for
the dreaded recurrence of that terri
BILE growl or groans of the power un-
der the seas and under the land to
give thonght to the new terror,
though it had threatened his own
home and many homes in the doomed
city. The crowds poured in from ev-
cry direction to the square just de-
scribed, as though it had been indeed
a charmed circle and life depended on
passing within its grassy bounds
Street cars, carriages and other vehi-
cles were ranged in lines on the streets
surroundings the square, while the
horses stood as though shifting the
ground in ancious inquiry. The col.
ored people everywhere were loud and
unceasing in their declamations Of
alarm, in the singing of hymns and
in fervent appeals for Gods mercy,
in which appeals, God knows, many

There were no distinctions of place

Charleston on Tuesday night.
THE DREARY WATCH TILL DAWN.
Arrived at his home the writer found
the same scenes distraction and wreck
which marked nearly every other
home in the city. All the houses in
the neighborhood had suffered severe
ly, and streets, yards and gardens were
filled with the walls that were left
standing were rent asunder in many
cases from top to bottom and were
badly shattered in every instance,
Women and children, reused from
sleep or interrupted in their evening
pursuits by the sound of the ruin be-
ing effected above and around them,
rushed out into the streets and hud-
died together awaiting the end, what
ever it might be. Invalids were
brought out ON mattresses and depos-
tied on the roadway. No thought was
given to treasures left behind in the
effort to save the peculiar treasure oi
life itself, suddenly become so precious
in the eyes of all--the invalid women
and the robust man alike. Until long
after midnight the streets were filled
with fugitives in the sight of theiI
homes. Thrugh the long hours that
followed few were the eyes, even ol
childhood, that were closed in sleep
Charleston was full of those who
watched for the morning, and never
in any city in any land did the first
gray shades that marked the approach
Of dawn appear so beautiful and sc
welcome to eyes as they appeared tC

RALEIGH, N. O., Sept. A speciaI
dispatch to the News and Observer
says that news has been received at
Asheville tonight from Mitchell coun-
ty to the effect that the earthquake
phenomena were very startling in the
mountains. In the vicinity Of the
pinnacle of Black Mountain the sub
terranean rumblings were numerous
and continued fifteen minutes. I'M
mense rocks were moved from their
beds and hurled down the mountain
side to the valleys. The people fled
from their houses to the woods.

sending Mr.. Morrison to Congress.
The obligation is increased by this
platform backing him up, and pro-
claiming anew and with no uncertainty
the only party creed that deserves to
be called Democratic.

STRICKEN WITH TERROR.

AS l write for reigns supreme. Peo-
pie are tGsA terrified to remain in their
dwellings, least they should topple
over and overwhelm them in the
ruins. Tenderly nurtured ladies, on
whose faces the breath Of heaven has
never been allowed to blow with even
the semblance of harshness, are sleep
ing out doors for the first time in their
history. They are camped out in ev-

CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept 1, 1885,
A black pail hangs over this panic
stricken city. The hour of midnight
is ushered in, not by the bells of the
churches, for they are silent, but, by
the lamentations of women the ter
rified moaning OF children and the
prayers of men. The wrecks of fallen
houses cucumber the Streets, and the
dread of impending calamity even
more awful than what has already
happened adds further sorrow to the
situation.

PICTURES OF pEsoLAT1oN.

Fancy people trembling as if the
destruction of the world were at hand.
Fancy families clinging to each other
in abject terror, their supplications,
their shrieks and their means filling
the air with mournful sounds Imag-
inc the weeping of woman bewailing
the loss of their children, some OF them
known to be dead and others lost in
the confused crowds which poured
from the houses when the first shock
caused an excited exodus from every
dwelling. Picture streets of desolation
and utter darkness, made visible only
the more by a solitary gas gare! I'm
agine each and every one of these
grim and CHASTITY features, and then
one can have only a faint and feeble
idea of the horrows which encompass
this once fair city.

= CURIOUS JETS OF WATER.

These evidences of the great con-
vulsion are not sporadic they extend
far and near in every direction from
the city limits from Charleston to
Summerville, and at the latter place
it was found, from trustworthy infor-
nation, that the cracks and assures
are everywhere visible for miles and
miles around. Strangely enough,
some of these were in active operation,
and the constant shocks that were felt
at Summeryille sent the water out OF
these fssures in jets to the heigth OF
from fifteen to twenty feet. This was
evidently the result of the cracks be-
ing filled with water and then the
sides opening and closing by each
succeeding shock, These appearances
we're, OF course, suggestive of still more

A Night of Horror.

The following article was prepared

writers's own words;-
Necessarily the description that car
be given of the disaster which has be
fallen our city consists in the nara

being the same, and the experiences
OF all being nearly alike, the story

slight variations.
A PoRTENToUs RUMBLE.
While engaged in his usual duties
in the second story room of the NeWl
and Courier Office at the time OF the
first shock, the writer's attention wal
vaguely attracted by a sound which
seemed to come from the Office below
and which was supposed for a mo
ment to be caused by the rapid rolling
of heavy body, as an iron safe or
heavily laden truck over the floor
Accompanying the sound there was
perceptible tremor of the building, no
more marked, however, than woulC
be caused by the passage of a stree
car or dray along the steeet. For per
haps two or three seconds the occur
ance excited no surprise or comment
Then by swift degrees, or perhaps al
at once-it is difficult to say which

A FEARFUL SHOCK.

What is thatl Earthquake and
then all was bewilderment and con-
fusion. Then the long roll deepened
and spread into an awful roar that
seemed to prevade at once the troub-
led earth and the still air above and
around. The tremor was now rude,
rapid quiver that agitated the whole
lofty, strong walled building as
through it were being shaken by the
hand of an immeasurable power, with
intent to tear its joints asunder and
scatter its stones and bricks abroad, as
a tree casts its ripened fruit before the
breath of gale. There was no inter
mission in the vibration of the mighty
subterranean engine. From the first
to the last it was continuous jar, on.
| ly adding force at every moment, and
as it approached and reached the eli
max OF its manifestation it seemed fol
a few terrible seconds that no work o.
human hands could possibly survive
the shack. The floors were heavine

REV. EDMUND LAMPKIN WHATLEY

ninth year of his age, and was buried In the
quiet country churchyard at Little Horse
Creek, close beside where. eighteen years be:
fore, HIS daughter and grandchlld were laid
to rest.
His last audible words we're: "God bless my

eldest son OF Hon. Aoner Whatley. of Edge

united in marriage to Rev, j. j. Lawton's
daughter, OF Aliendale, S. c., in his twenty
first year. From early youth to the day OF
his death, he was not only a firm believer in,
and devout follower of Jesus Chris, but the
prime of his manhood was consecrated to that
Lord aud Master whose cause he advocated,
whose name he delighted to honor, and the
building up OF whose Ringdom upon earth he
labored m nsterlally for many years. With
such record we feel that he Is one of those
blessed who have 'cea> ed from their labors,

Apostle Pau, he cou we'll say. ''Oh, death,

SENA rOIS JONES' PASSION,
The Old Story Retoid With Varia'
tons.
From the Ne,o York Star.

From the Neto York Star.
Senator Jones, Of Florida, about whom
little has been said of late in the news
papers, is still in Detroit, a guest at the
Russell House, and apparently an idler in
town. A gentleman who saw him lately
describes him as having begun to spruce
up In appearance, and as eping his head
clear. For time, after the first puDlica-
tons concerning him, he was much de-
pressed In spirits, neglected his dress, and
drank hard. He got to look like a tramp,
and was rarely himself. Now he has
braced up, and would appear to be as
man with some hope. The gentleman in
question sad TO me to-day concerning
Senator Jones' passion for the Detroit

predicament: "Senator Jones went TO
Detroit upon the invitation OF ma lie rela.
tive Of the Young woman, who faucied he

had met senator Jones here, was . cased
with him, and finding that he Was en-.
amored or his fair cousin, invited MIN to
Detroit and generously proffered to sing
his praises 10 her. u" Senator appeared
on the scene, pressed his SUIT, but was re-
pulsed. He renew ed the offer OF nis neart
and hand repeatedly, until ut last even
the gen lemnn who had invited him there

request that be raise the siege. This not
only mortified but angered the dIstln-

request. but continued his say in town.
