The Democrats who had bet look

during the past month or so.
Reginning with the terrible disaster

and where the loss of life mounted up
into the thousands, the country mas
haon subjected to a series OF MOODS
which are without parallel in the his

II is believed that the total loss OF lie
will never be accurately known, out IL
is TO be hoped that the country VIII
never again be visited by such series
Of disasters as have marked the year
1891. 81 ,..ou,
From many places the joyful lnteili-
repce is telegraphed that the waters
are subsiding and that the rivers are
seeking their natural channels; But
the scenes in the country visited oy the
floods are distressing.
The fields that before the inundatlon
smiled with the promise OF abundant
baryests are now bleak and oesoiate.
Many farms lying on the lower ground
are covered with broken trees, matted
branches, stones and rubbish OF every
description deposited there by the re-
ceding waters.
A scene of the greatest devastations
presents itself in the valley OF the Jucas
river. This river rises IN the Sierra al
bierracin, and flows into the Mediterra-
mean at Cullera. 1t is about two hun
dred miles long.
Along the banks the land is fertile,
and large sections Of the country In us
vicinity were devoted to the cultivation
of oranges. To-day the well-tliled
groves and fertile farms are wrecked.
The inhabitants Of the valley, having
been deprived of their usual means OF
subsistence, are plunged into the most
dire distress.
There is great suffering, more espe-
cially among the lower classes, and II Is
evident that unless something is done TO
relieve them, there will be numerous
deaths from famine and exposure.

The Remedy for Bank Wrec3ing.
~, TysrUIn

1t is evident that the remedy for bank
plundering is not to be found in melting
out justice to the culprits, but in rend-
ering plundering impossible. This will
be done when the affairs OF bank are
not left to the unQuestioned manage,
ment of it's head, but are vigilantly
watched over by the directors.
1t is strange and significant fact
that great financial institutions are
robbed more by their own trusted Off
GERS than by professional burglars and
thieves. Science and skill are called
into requisition to make safes proof
against burglary and fire, while the
simplest precautions are often neglect
ed to protect depositors agaist
the greater risk Of official dishon-
esty. Had the directors done their
plain duty neither the Keystone Bank,
of Philadeladelphia, nor the Maverick
National. of Boston, nor any Of the sew
eral institutions looted in this city could
have been plundered.
1t is to the directors, then, that stock,
holders and depostors must look for
protection.

Lawrence, Pittsburg merchant, was
found dead in HIS bed in the Everett
House this morning. There was a bull
let wound in his head and his right
hand grasped a cooked revolver. The
suicide was discovered by a porter.
A friend of the dead man called at the

the clerk informing him that Mr.. Law
renee had committed suicide. He held
in his hand note from Lawrence, in
which he stated his intention OF taking
his life.
Nothing had been heard OF Mr.. Law
renee since he retired early last even
ing, and porter was hastily sent up 10
his room. Looking over the transom
he saw the body of Mr.. Lawrence lying
on the bed. The clerk was informed OF
the suicide and a messenger was sent
for the coroner.

dnct OF certain English newspapers In
sscrIhing foolish sentiments ana re-
marks TO Minister Egan and Captain
Schley in connection with the penang
questions between the Chilean anu
United States governments.
No one here believes that Captaih
Sehley ever said that war was newt
able. and the opinion Is held In the oe-
nartments that the English papers IN
question are engaged in an effort TO To-
ment the growth Of feeling OF anlmos-
ity by the Chileans against the people
of the United States, which, while IL
NAV not manifest itself in war-like oem-
onstrations, would be likely to preJu-
dice the trade relations between the
TWO countries to the great oenent o.
English commerce.
AS matter of fact, the last commu-
nication received from Captain Schley
by the Navy Department Indicate the
existence of peaceful relations between
his sailors and the people Of Valparaiso.

think our boiler makers could have put
up a job equal to any concern ABROAD,
besides 1t would have left the money at
home. The concern at Bellaire was moi
even asked to bid. Cox IL Morrison are
making all kinds of boilers, as well as
Sweeney & Son. Their work has never
been adversely criticised, to my
knowledge. A difference OF few dol
lars ought not to stand IN the way as
between home and foreign competition.
l hope hereafter, when the city has
anything to give out, she will first
ascertain whether the work can be ex
ecuted at home before sending her
money abroad. All these people are

an erroneous one, for there is in town q

Bibles of an expensive and handsome
kind, suitable to hand to bishop or
fashionable clergyman on the occasion OF
a christening, wedding or funeral in the
family. If on the occasion of these re-
ligious episodes in the family the high
church dignitary should turn to the
blank leaves between the Old and New

NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.

New York, November 11.-Uncer-

tinues. Both parties assert their claims
loudly as ever. The county canvassers
did little or nothing to settle the Ques-
ton, nor will they do much before the
last Of the week.
News from the several disputed coun-
ties show an inclination on both sides
TO raise row; that was only prevented
by a wholesome regard for the law
which is plain and explicit.
The situation is trying to both par
ties, for each has its all at stake, and is
taking every chance to win. The Her
AIDS figures make the Assembly a tie,
but the Republicans claim a majority,
and so do the Democrats.
