The Re-UnIon nj bet. OFT.

The attempt to pass bill appropri-
ating $50, 900 to aid the executive
committee of the coming national en-
campment at Detroit over the gov
ernor's veto has failed. The action
OF the governor and legislature has
aroused the people OF Michigan. The
papers at Detroit and in other parts
of the State have opened subscriptions
to make good the amount that the
State was expected to give. The De-
troit Journal has been particularly
active In the work, and there is every
reason TO hope for its success. The
comrades generally may rest assured
that they will be given warm well
come at Detroit and their entertain
ment will be equal to that which they
have enjoyed in other cities.

CORRESPONDENTS in European jour
nal has given pitiful descriptions of
the Punishment of the Jewish mer-
chants and worl1ingmen from Moscow,
and it may be readily assumed that
the cars decree was not enforced
more mercifully in that city than in
any other portion of his dominions.
In Moscow the decree suddenly fell
upon multitudes of persons who were
born there or had resided there most
of their lives. Upon three days no
tice these Jews were compelled to
leave the city for strange regions,
known to them only as the places
where their father or grandfather
first saw the light.

TEE furtive concealer of his pros
perity is not an honest man. BY his
conduct at least he hides the truth as
to his relations with his fellows. He
lives in false light. He pretends to
lower place than his fortune war
rants him in occupying. He thus
escapes the burdens that he ought to
bear and if he does that which seems
to be generous he gains an undue
credit.

GAME protection appears to be quite
as necessary in the southern districts
as in the northern. A few years ago
Florida was unquestionably the finest
natural game preserve in North Amer
ica. AS the entire country had free
access to its fields unhindered, sports
man, tourist and pot-hunter poured
into the paradise in one surging, in
satiable army, and fin fur and feather
have alike disappeared except in re-
mote localities. When the present

been ravished, the people will proba-
bly, awaken to the necessity Of game
protection.

THE closest of all blood relationships
Is that of the mother and the child,
and it constitutes the very best exam
pie that we can select to examine the
security which blood provides as a
basis of relationship. Still, mothers
sometimes become rivals to daughters
md hate them fervently. Fathers hate
sons, and sons fathers; blood is no Sc
curity. The tic will break; we see ii
break throughout tho whole animal
creation. 1t lasts with inferior ami
mails only till the young are able to
provide for themselves. and then il
seases altogether. It is thus discov-
cred that consanguinity is not the root
or germ OF relationship.

The human mind is more accurately
acquainted with everything else in
which it is interested than with It's
own operations, and when a man,
great or small, sets out to give the
metes and bounds of his own thinking
or of his own intellectual develop
ment he essays a task for which no
man was ever fit or ever will be while
the mind remains the complex, elusive,
self-deceiving organism that it is.

The question as to whom a physi-
clans prescription belongs has never
been seriously raised in this country,
as by general use the druggist who
makes it up retains it in his possession.
In England, however prescription is
always understood to belong to the
patient; and the British Medical
Journal in a recent article on the sub
ject declares that the claim has never
been made in England that it belonged
TO any one else.

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. l0.-At 3 80
this morning patrolman on Second
street saw flames issuing from Conway's
lodging house, at the corner of Second
and Mill. He Immediately turned an
alarm and the department responded at
once, but before an engine arrived the
building was q mass of flames and the
inmates were flying for their lives. 1t is
not known how many persons were in
the building, but all but one known to
have been inside have been accounted
for. The hook and ladder truck was
Immediately called into use to save the
lives of the inmates. Chas. johnson, a
man about GO years of age, was taken
through the second story window on
Mill street. He had been suffocated to
death. His face was burned almost be-
yond recognition. Just across from him
on the east side of the burning building
was negro named Washington, a bar
Der his hands and arms were terribly
burned, the skin being entirely pooled
off; He will not recover. A man
named Green jumped from the third
story on the Mill street side and is in
jured internally. He lay on the pavement
just across from the burning building
and made piteous appeals to the by
ISLANDERS to fetch a doctor. He can
hardly recover. A few yards from him
lay J. III. Dwyer. another inmate who
had jumped from the third-story win
dow. His injuries were broken arm.
VIM. Clifford jumped from the third
| floor and escaped unhurt. Frank Brown
threw his trunk from the second story
and jumped after it. His trunk was
smashed to pieces but Brown was un-
hurt. The building was almost entirely
Quilted, being large three-story tinder

entire block would have gone. The fire is
supposed to have been of incendiary

NATIONAL POLITICS.
Curiosity as to Quay's Attitude Toward

Blaine--His Course Criticised.
NEW York, Aug. 9.-The Washington
correspondent of the Herald sends the
following regarding Quay's attitude
toward Blaine: Has Matthew Stan
ley Quay broken with the administra-
ton? That is Il question very much
discussed by politicians just now, in
view of the fact that Senator's Quay and
Cameron are credited with being ready
to turn over the Pennsylvania delegation
to James G.. Blaine in 1892. Those best
informed and most conversant with the
history of Quay's standing ut the White
house assert that he and the president
are still on good terms, but that the ex-
national chairman has been feeling the
pulse of the party in his own state, and
finds himself unable to contend with the
tide OF enthusiasm that has set in for
Blaine. Rather than play on the losing
side, he yields to pressure, and has u
dream that Blaine is the coming man
There is some criticism here on Senator
Quay's course. 1t is argued that, as he
has, received pretty much all he asked
for, it would be the correct thing for him
to make the Haraison fight in Pennsyi-
vania. On the contrary, the Blaine
men, who are rejoiced over the report
that Quay has practically declared for
the Plumed Knight, assert that the jun
ior Pennsylvania senator is not in Har-
rison's debt, that his services in 1888
have not been fully requited and that
he can with perfect propriety espouse
the candidacy of another, especially
when the state is overwhelmingly in ia
vor of a more popular candidate.

THURSDAYS EARTHQUAKES.
Further Particulars Brought by n Trap
per from the Gulf OF California.


YUMA, ArIz., Aug. &C. Smith, an
an American trapper, accompanied by
a Cocapah Indian, returned from the
Gulf of California. and gives additional
details concerning the earthquakes and
tidal wave of Thursday last. About 6
O'Clock that morning heavy shock was
felt near the Lordo colony in the state
of Sonora, Mexico, on the Colorado
river. The sky darkened and terrible
thunder storm came up. A huge wave
from the gulf was driven inland, and
fences and landing places were washed
away A second earthquake shock
caused the earth to open in many places.
Some OF the Nfssures were four to seven
feet wide, and from twenty to thirty
feet long and seemingly fathomless.
Men were thrown to the ground by the
force of this shock About mile from
Lordo they noticed fissure in the mid
die of the river bed, into which the Col
orado was pouring with much noise.
A third shock of earthquake destroyed
three small habitations of colonists and
cracked others. No human life was lost
but large amount of live stock was
killed.
The damage done by the earthquake
in Sonora is principally to the herds OF
cattle in that region. The settlements
there are small but it is feared that J.
Milton, q. Larsen and I. Thursen, who
went down to the gulf several weeks ago
are drowned, as no trace of them can be

A1most Unknown to science.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 9.-Francisco
Solfor1ni, who was suffering from en-
largement of the bones, died yesterday.
The disease from which he suffered is al
most unknown to science, and but
about dozen cases of it are recorded.
The name given to it in recent treatises
is tsacromegaly.' The outward symp-
toms are enlarged bones, the body and
head growing to enormous proportions.
The dictionaries, as late as 1889, do not
give the name of the disease. Solforini
was buried in Potter's field. Some OF
the doctors are thinking of digging him
up and investigating his ailment.
