DEMOCRATIC LODGINGS.
AN ERA OF INCoMPETENoY.
How The Country Fared When 1t
Took"a Change For The Sake
OF a Change"

Not Single Issue met.
Nearly three years have passed
since the American people registered
their conclusion that the experiment
they had been making with Demo-
cratic Administration was q mistake.
They had adopted, in 1884, "a
change for the sake OF change, ,'and
unquestionably change was what
they got. The party which, in Mr..
George William Curtis's accurately
descriptive phrase, "felI from power
in q conspiracy against human
rights" had, with his assistance and
that of other good men, more ean-
guine than reminiscent" sneaked
back into power in q ,nspiracy for
plumber aud spoiis." Plumber and
spoils they enjoyed in the fulness of
four years. gorge. But 1t is fair to
say that their government is remem.
bered for nothing that can be calle d
q settlement of any question pending
when they took office, or arising
while their term continued. The
tariff question, the silver question,
the Benring Sea ENHANCEMENT, the
Samoan difficulty-svery important
problem of legislation or administers
ton with which they had to do,
though desperately tinkered al, fused
with. and fooled with, was finally
turned over to their SUCCESSORS to adj.
just. The net results of their four
years of office were disgusting PAN
Electric scandal, q war upon the old
soldiers and sailors, an ominous com.
plication with Germany, several en-
barrassments with EDglsn 1, com.
plete absorption of the Civil Service,
and half Matched free trade tariff
1t was not remarkable In these cir
| cumstances that the voters again con-
cluded to have "a change for the
sake of change" They recalled
that the party for whom they had
preferred Mr.. Cleveland and his horde
| OF hungry incompetents was one !.
which, to paraphrase Mr.. Curtis, had
come into power for the salvation of
the Union, and had remained In pow
or during generation to secure and
establish the fruits of its victories In
the field! They recalled that its con.
duct of government had enabled the
people to prosecute and gloriously
conclude the greatest. war that hu.
uuou ing ub bou 0toE W6x0ut W IL.
Derate s, 000, 900 slaves; to res tore State
Government and Federal authority In
every part OF the Union without the
smallest departure from their original
functions and relations; to pay In
twenty years one thousand million of
the heaviest war debt that had ever
burdened any nation, reducing it by
one.half; to pay almost as much upon
that higher obligation-the debt to
those who had done and dared in
battle, and so to utilize their resour-
ces that this enormous draft had not
been felt-their commerce every year
increasing until they had become the
greatest family of producers and con-
sumers on the face of the earth. It
was the party under whose admins
tration these results were accomplish
ed, which, upon the ludicrous failure
of the Democratic play at government
was again called upon tn assume
charge of the Nations affairs.

Special to THE MORNING CALL.

NAPA. May 13.-There will be a meeting
of the Trustees of the Napa Insane Asylum
tomorrow which, although regular

some SILL This action on Mr.. Seeey'S
part is prompted by TIE many flying rumors
about his being financially embarrassed
which have been freely circulated in this
city for several days.
Seeley is an old resident Of the city. He
has for 10 years held the Office of County
Clerk, and during the last two years has
been in the banking business with l.. a.
Bckford, being secretary and treasurer of
the Insane Asylum for the same period.
The stories Of his financial distress origin.

Co., dry-goods firm. One of the partners
of that Fl m A. 2. Voorhees,. was indebted
heavily. Among his liabilities is a note to
John j. Smith, amounting to some 5000,
indoTsed by Seeley, which has never been
paid. There is also an outstanding note
due to George Hemenway, a rancher near
this city, of S2400 signed by Voorhees,. See
ley and ex-Sheritf II. Ii. Harris. Harris is
considered the only solvent man on this
note as the matter stands to-day. He is also
one of the bondsmen OF Seeley in his posi-
tion of treasurer Of the. Insane Asylum. The
other bondsmen are j. +. Zollner, j. Even
and l.. A. Bickford, each being liable for
$4,000.
The finance committee of the asylum
board. OF which g. Nj. Francis of the Napa

the board, is confident that Seeley will make
a satisfactory showing at to-morrow's meet

who doubt this.
1t is said that Seeley will produce the
money he is responsible for tomorrow. and
that 1t will be money he win borrow for the

PEsTH, May 13-An immense waterspOut
burst to-day in the neighborhoOd Of the COL
lleries situated at Fuenfkirchen, in the
county of Baranya. A huge volume OF
water inundated the surrounding country
and poured into the mines. causing a terri
bic loss of life. The water poured into the
mines so quickly that the unfortunate men
received DO warning OF their danger. The
water rose rapidly and in short time every
avenue Of escape was shut of and tile men
perished miserably. 1t is known that q
men are dead in one pit, and many others
lost their lives at different points. The men
who lost their lives were working in the
lower levels. Those working in the upper
levels escaped, and they. with the assistance
OF those who 60cked TO the mouths Of the
pits, went to rescue the men in the flooded
levels. AS the news Of the catastrophe
spread immense crowds fastened to tie
scene and the entrance of each pit was soon
surrounded by q surglng and wildly excited
mass Of men, women and children. The
lamentations Of those who had relatives or
friends in the mines were heaTt-rendng,
and many pitiful scenes we're witnessed.
Some bodies have already been recovered
and the work of rescue Is being steadily
carried on. Every effort to pump the water
out of the flooded levels is being made.
