Sallust and his party had just gained the
direct path from the city to the port
and here they were arrested by an i'm
mense crowd more than half the popu-
lation of the city. They spread along the
fields without the walls, thousands upon
thousands, uncertain whittier to fly.
The sea had retired far from the shore,
and they who had fed to it had been so
terrified by the agitation and preternatu-
raj shrinking of the element, the gasp
ing forms of the uncouth ceasings which
the waves had left upon the sand, and
by the sound of the huge stones cast
from the mountains into the deep, that
they returned again to the land, as pre-
senting the less frightful aspect of the
two. Thus the two streams of human
beings, the one seward, the other from
the sea, had met together, feeling sad
comfort IN numbers arrested in dispair
and do ubt. The world is to be destroyed
by fire, said an old man in loose robes,
philos opher of the stole schools, stole and
epcu rean wisdom have alike agreed IN
this prediction, and the hour 10 come.
AS he spake there came that sudden
illumination, which had heralded
the death of Arbaces, and the glowing
over the mighty multitude awed crouch
ing breathless, never on earth had the
faces of men seemed so baggard; never
had meeting of mortal beings been so
stamped with the horror and sublimity of
dread; never till the last trumpe. sounds
shall such meeting be seen again. And
above arose the form of Ointhus with
outstretched arm and prophet brow, grit
with living fire, and the crowd knew the
face of HIM they had doomed to the
pangs of the beasts, then their victim,
now their warner, and through the still
ness again came this ominous voice. The
hour has come; the Christian repeated
the cry, it was caught up, it was echoed
from side to side, woman and man,
childhood and old age, repeated, not
aloud but in smothered and dreary
murmur, the hour is come. - - :

So it is race difficulty that confronts the
negro and resists and obstructs his politi-
cal power. Every day the jealousy in
creases and the intolerance intensi6es.
The fact is disclosed in churches. schools
and every industrial pursuit, for negro
labor, except the heaviest drudgery, is
constantly narrowing, and this is more
distinctly the result of race aversion than
is the exclusion of the Chinese. The cure
is the separation of the races under differ
ent governments. Give the negro the op-
portunity for selfgovernment and to the
white man an unobstructed course for the
accomplishment of his high destiny. The
feeling of unrest among the negroes which
now sweeps them in revolving eddies from
one State to another is a plain indication
that they are preparing for general
exodus. This, says Senator Morgan, it
should be the Office of the Government
and the people to aid, commend and ap-
plaud.
Such are the views of representative
Southron, who has more concisely and
strongly presented the Southern side of
the negro question than any political
light in recent months, and whose views
have been thus synopsized, that the read
ing public may be the better informed
upon both sides of question that is of
augmenting Importance and must be met,
discussed and settled by the American
people.

Signal Service Review for the Month just
Past.
The Signal Service Bureau, Division of
the Pacific reports the following compari-
son from Pacific coast points for August:
The month of August has been charac-
terized by a general deficiency of rainfall
and general increase of temperature.
The rainfall has been decidedly above
the average in Southeastern California,
Southwestern Nevada and Southern Ari-
zona, where destructive floods, high winds
and thunder storms have occurred. Pre-
cipitation has been below the normal at all
Signal Service Stations except Yuma,
Keeler, Fresno and Spokane rails The
increase at these stations ranges from trace
at Fresno to l 81 inches at Keeler. The de.
iciency ranges from .02 inches San Fran
cisco to 81 inches at Portland. Rain fell
on three days at San Diego, but in amounts
too small to measure. The rainfall at Sac
ramento was trace. which is the normal
condition for the month. Red Bluff was
the only station reporting no rain during
the month. The heaviest rainfall, LII
inches, occurred at Keeler, and trace at San
Diego, Fresno, Sacramento and San Fran
cisco.

CHRISTOPHER POND became the nomi-
nee of his Convention only after making
his peace with Christopher Buckley, whose
malign influence has become so potential a
factor in San Francisco politics that he is,
to all intents and purposes, the power over
events and ambitions political in that city,
and enjoys rule that reaches out and
touches and controls every official matter
and thing in that municipality, out of
which by any possibility money can be
made by political boss, or by which his
power may be augmented.

THE STATE EXPOSITION.

The approaching annual fair of the State
Agricultural Society promises to be one of
eminent success as a display. 1t is now
assured that the live stock competition
will be the closest and largest in the his
tory of the Society. The exhibitions of
the past twenty years have been potential
in stimulating investments by fine stock
breeders, and that is now becoming true
that the RECORD UNION long ago forecast
that in the blue grass of California there
is more of wealth and progress and mate
rial prosperity than ever Kentucky, fortu-
nate as she has been, has found in the
famous blue grass regions of that State.
If there were no other interest repre-
sented at the State exposition, that of
blood stock alone ought to draw an i'm
mense assemblage of representative people.
But besides the splendid exhibition of
horned stock and that of fine horses for all
service, we are to have speed programme
of unusual attractiveness and one that
brings to the front some of the very best
results of fine stock breeding in California;
and that is creating wonderfully fine and
broad supply market of horses for all parts
of the country and even for foreign parts.
The assurance is given that the fine art
taste will find high qualification in the
Pavilion this year, and that the CONNER
cial display will be commensurate with
the occasion. The pleasure-seeker is 10 be
addressed especially through the avenue of
the ear at this fair, and two of the finest
musical combinations of the Union are to
FILL the concert programmes day and night.
One of these comes from New York under
special engagement, and is monster con-
cert and military band, with a famous cor
netist at its head.
The county exhibits promise well, and
while the season for some fruits has not
been very good one, it is known that the
viticultural and small fruit exhibition will
be very large. So that for stock-growers,
speed men, farmers, art lovers, viticultur
lists, music connoisseurs, and the people
generally, there is to be ample attraction
and entertainment
No matter where the State Fair, or any
other State institution is located, it cannot
be wholly delocalized. The people Of the
city containing a State institution are
naturally supposed to stand little closer
to it. 1t is, therefore, well for Sacramen-
tans to remember that then own liberality
in patronage of the fair at Park and Pa
viiion greatly stimulates others ia like
direction. Our-people should feel, and it
is entirely proper for them to do so, that
upon them, to considerable extent, rests
the obligation to make the annual fairs of
the State successful. This, we believe, our
citizens fully appreciate, but at times they
are dilatory in carrying cut their wishes.
This year let Sacramentans be early and
late in patronizing the State Exposition,
and giving its tireless Directors encourage

WE have said that combination with
such potentiality as that of Buckley is
utterly debasing. No matter what the
standing of the citizen, how high his orig

he cannot touch such pitch and escape de-

such an influence barters his manhood, and

THE Democratic papers do not tire Of
pointing to what they claim to be the
economies effected in municipal govern

Bulletin shows, however, that these claims
are not well founded. Taxation is in San
