it and seems quite at home in the old
Jail on East King Street. He occupies
his time very much in reading and
keeps officers Weddle and Rhodes
after papers and books. He is par
ticularly interested in history and is
better informed as topersons and dates
than probably any man in Martins

any subject brought up. Sheriff Miller
said yesterday in conversation with a

render the Colonel unless one of Uncle
Sans officials came here and took him
in custody.

TIE prospect Of oint debate II Massa-
chusotts seems 10 have vanished. very much
10 the regret OF all WHO would like to hayo
seen full discussion of questions Of national
interest by two such distinguished champions
of their respective parties as Lodge and kus-
sell. The refusal of Allen, the Republican
nominee for the Goyernorship, 10 meet
Democrat on the platform. reflected the real
feeling of the Republican leaders in the State
with reference TO the invitation of the Demo
cratic executive committee. Allen would
not have ventured 10 decline the challenge
which was sent him if the sentiment of his
political associates had demanded that he
should accept it.
When Mr.. Lodge announced that he was
ready to meet any Democrat of prominence
on any platform in the discussion of any sub
iect he spoke of his own motion, but his sub
sequent conduct shows that he regrets his
words. So far from his being willing TO
meet Democrat in joint debate on any sub
iect, he has narrowed down the questions to
be discussed to such an extent that he has vir-
tually withdrawn his acceptance of the Demo
cratic challange.
His letter to the Democratic managers is re-
garded as amounting to this, and justly so on
the light Of its terms. Instead of throwing
open the whole political field for discussion.
he insists that the debate shall be confined to
three questions: The administration of Gov
ernor Russell; tho attitude Of the National
Democratic party upon silver, and the prices
of the necessities Of life as affected by the
Mckinley Tariff bill.
The Democrats have no objection TO al Of
these three questions being included in tho
general discussion. but they very properly as
sert thatto restrict the JOINT debate to the three
would be unfair to their side, and moreover
it would defeat the purpose for which the de-
bate was intended. namely the enightment
Of the voters on al the points now at issue
between the parties To confne the debate
on the Mckinley bill for instance, % tho items
that cover the necessaries Of life. and TO omit
all others from consideration il obviously
absurd, and such proposition on the part of
Mr.. Lodge could only have been designed TO
break down the plan Of joint debates
1t is evident that he recognized that no had
placed himself in a position in which he
could only infict damage upon his party. and
in order to escape from this position he had
recourse 10 a prevarication which he was per-
| fectly aware would be unsatisfactory 10 the
Democrats. lie Will now go before the peo-
pie with the assertion that the Democratic
champions were afraid 90 debate with him
the principal questions which divide the two
| parties
1t will be an ingenious claim, for not only
will il relieve him Of the discredit of haY-
ing shown hesitation ia meeting a Demo
cratic speaker. but it Will, as far as his inlu-
ence extends, cast odium upon the Demo
cratic leaders, because they have apparently
declined to enter into q dis ussion which they
themselves had first proposed

IN DISCUSSING the recent earthquake which
gave such shaking to the people Of very
large part Of Ohio tho New York Herald
which Justly prides itself upon its knowledge
OF all atmospheric and seismic disturbances.
attributes il TO number of causes, any one OF
which, taken by itsolf. would. in that journals
opinion, have been sufficient 10 produce tho
phenomenon. First, there were the chemical
processes resulting from the entrance of water
and the oxidation Of the metallic substances in
the bowels of the earth. Then there was the
passage of a very low baromtric pressure
Aud finally there was the enormous heat in
the central regions OF the body of the globe.
While making little claim 10 special informa-
lion as TO tho causes of earthquakes in gen
eral. We are inclined 10 think that the Herald
wss for once mistaken in its explanations of the
great phenomenon in Ohio. Does il not
seem more probable that the Ohio
shaking up was but the result of the
heavy tread of the countless Democrats
who have been collecting at every point in
tho Buckeye State where speaking has been
advertised to take place, This earthquake
will be surpassed by the mighty shaking up
what Will be experienced in November, when
the Democrats shall begin their march TO the
polls
