The Democratic campaign book,
prepared under the auspices of the
Democratic Executive Committee,
is now in the hands of the printer,
and will soon be ready for distribu-
ton. The committee has not re-
sorted to the Republican methods
of levying assessments upon office
holders for their campaign expen-
ses, nor has any officeholder in the
United States been requested to
contribute a cent. The book will
contain spicy review of the past
administration of the Government
under Republican rule, and will
discuss a number of subjects of
contemporaneous Importance. It
will contain an exhaustive history
of former abuses of the Pension
Office and of the prostitution to
party ends of this bureau. It will
give n history of the war on the
President by the Senate and the
surrender by that body of the false
issue which it had raised for politi-
cal ends. In short, the book will
be fair and truthful presentation
IF political matters. The commit
tee is not in possession of funds
20 enable it to distribute the book
yratuitously. In order that the
Tolume may be Thoroughly distribu-
ed the committee has determined
o send it prepaid by mail to- any
person who will make application |
therefore, and transmit the sum of |

light copies will be sent for s.. |
All communications should be adj |

A fearful flash of powder terri
fed the people living around the
Lafin-Rand powder works, a few
miles from Chicago, on last Sunday
morning. 1t was caused by light
ming striking one of the magazines
containing 1000 pounds of dynam-
lite and 14,O00 pounds of powder.
The force of the explosion excava-
ted hole fifty feet deep and nearly
a hundred yards wide, while the
whole face of the country for six
hundred yards was rent in seams
as if plowed with steam plows. 1t
was plainly felt in all parts of the
city, while nearly every building
within three miles of the scene of
disaster was more or less injured
by the shock. The most remarka-
BILE thing is that only one person
was killed outright, a young lady.
-Four persons are SO badly mangled
they are bound to die, and thirty
more were painfully injured. The
loss to the company is estimated at
S75, 600. and the injury to the sur
rounding country in broken glass
and damage to buildings is placed
at about the same figures.

FOB CONGRESS,
FOURTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT,
N. G. BLANCHARD.
OF CADDO.


An earthquake shock was felt in
fully half of the United States on
last Tuesday night between 9 and
10 o'clock. A great destruction of
life and property is reported, the
city of Charleston and coast of
South Carolina being subject to
most of the suffering. Two-thirds
of that city is said to be uninhabi-
table ruins. Forty persons were
killed and over hundred wound
ed. The injury to property is es-
timated at 100000.

NATIONAL AID TO EDUCATION.

Since the smothering of the Blail
bill at the close of the last session
of Congress, by the trick of a COM
mittee of the House refusing to re-
port on it, the enemies of national
aid to education imagine that the
measure is dead. The ost-Nation,
one of its bitterest opposers, is SO
conceited as to claim as result of
its campaign that the very idea of
national aid to schools is losing
ground. In answer to this exceed
ing egotism the Boston Transcript
makes showing, and says it seems
to have escaped attention that sew
eral rather important sets of peo-
pie are behind this movement, as
follows:
lst-The National Bureau of Ed
ucation, that has the most complete
knowledge of Southern school af-
fairs now possessed in the country.
2d-The trustees of the Peabody
fund, including their eminent presi-
dent, Hon. Robert C. Winthrop;
lawyers like Chief Justice Waite
and William M. Evarts; with emil
nent representatives from both Sec
tons.
3d-Eyery President of the Uni
ted States from Lincoln to Cleve-
land; President Cleveland not hay
ing recorded his dissent, while two
Southern members of his Cabi-
net, Garland and Larmar, are its
firm advocates.
4th-All the twenty-five Senators
in Congress of the eleven ex-Con-
federate States, save fve-Bntler,
Morgan, Harris, Coke and Maxey, |
this majority fairly representing |
public opinion In these eleven
Commonwealth, approved by the
action of several of their |
and the recorded opin-
ion Of the-maiority of their State
Superintendent of Education and |
leading public men.
5th-The solid majority of the
most eminent public school men of |
the South, including such we'll
known names as Drs. Curry and
President William Pres
ION Johnston ex-Gov. Thompson.

Prof. Nicholson's series of arith-
metics has been adopted by the
school board of Baltimore. These
books, when first adopted by the
Louisiana board of education, pro-
voked considerable comment, but
have constantly won in favor, and
the action of the Baltimore school
authorities is at once a compliment
to Prof. Nicholson and a vindica-
ton of our State board.

its labors, and is now awaiting the
action of the State Department in

At any rate, the statue will be fin

The editor of the La Democrat
claims to be a Sir Isaac Newton or
second Gallileo when it comes to
the discussion of intricate and pro-
found subjects. Perhaps it is this
top-heaviness, SO little appreciated
by the obtuse Alexandrians, that
induces our friend to only inaict
them once or twice a year with his
cumbersome productions. We are
happy, like Bro Jasper, in the dis
cussion of affairs, and, even if does
occasionally border on ''the sun do
move" order, have the satisfaction
of making a record, instead of the
large and profound blank that our
friend glories in so much.

TIE Century magazine is preparing 10
furnish the public with q life of Lincoln
the joint production of two Pike county,
Illinois, men, long the close friends and
| official assistants Of the western Hero. AS
biography of Lincoln it will never be
approached in truthfulness and excel
lence, no doubt, and the Century does
we'll to scatter this fact broadcast as a
preliminary excltation. These biogra.
piers of Lincoln are John Hay and John
e. Nicolay, the private secretaries who
followed the wake of Uncle Abe to for
tune and station in the great world.
These biographers of Lincoln VII do
their historical work well, and the litera-
ry celebrity OF Mr. Hay will entail upon
the volumes all the garniture of rounded
excellence. Nathaniel Hawthorn has left
a too flceting commentary, an 1nstanta =
neous process sketch of the character of
Lincoln, and his personal appearance,
seen one day in Washington during the
great combat. 1t is wonderfully clear
and sensitlve-a marvellous mosaic of des-
cription, and its brevity is all that lacks.
If the new biographcrs do thus well with
othe" completer views, the labor Of fl.
ture vcnlurers will be attempted IN vain,
and the life of Llpcoin will haye been
written. But the tentative tuning Of
western attention ly the publishers furn-
