The most appalling disaster
that has occurred in this country
for years, exceeding i'll horror
even the Connemaugh Valley de-
struction, is reported from the oil
regions of Pennsylvania, where
the rising waters washed away the
oil tanks and reservoirs, the oil be-
coming ignited, and the towns of
Titusville, Oil City and Cory
were swept with an angry food of
water and fire at the same time.
Fully two hundred persons were
drowned or burned to death, the
most of them being burned. Some
thing like three hundred houses
were destroyed, and the loss in
money value is said to exceed five
millions of dollars.

The Making of Presidents.

The great Republican convention
which assemblies at Minneapolis
this week, and the Democratic con-
vention which is to assemble in
Chicago two weeks hence, areevents
of national Importance, as we'll as
of world wide interest. In order
to give our readers some insight
into these gatherings we reproduce
from an exchange interesting ac-
count of some of the conventions
held heretofore:
Year after year these great con-
ventions increase in magnitude and
grow in dramatic and sensational
Importance. They are becoming
more important and far reaching
than congress itself, and though
they do their work in few days,
they not only choose but in their
platforms control legislation and
direct the efforts of parties.
The first great convention in this
country, the one which showed the
possibilities of these gatherings of
political laymen, was held in Chi
cago IN 1860, when Abraham Lin
coin WIS nominated. Probably the
world never saw more potential
gathering than this. 1t left its
mark on all time. 1t brought on
the rebellion, freed the slaves,
changed the American constitution.
1t is odd that the nominations in
Democratic conventions are not SO
bitterly contested as in Republican
conventions, Notwithstanding the
fact that in the former the two
thirds rule naturally contributes to
the stubbornness of the contest.
In 1875 Blaine was then the rising
man Of his party. AS representa-
tive and speaker he had attained
phenomenal popularity. Nearly
every one believed he would be
nominated. But between him and
Roscoe Conkling there had sprung
mp bitter personal enmity, growing
out of the famous Turkey gobbler'
speech of Blaine's few years be-
fore. In the light of subsequent
events it is almost pitiful to look
back to this convention. Blaine
was clearly the popular choice, and

Revenge is Sweet.

At the mass meeting held in
Colfax last Monday to elect dele
gates to the Democratic State con-
vention to be held in Baton Rouge
on the 14th, to elect delegates to
the national Democratic conyen-
ton, the Pros of Grant parish,
taking advantage of the overflow
and the likelihood of small turn
out, assembled their forces on the
sly, and boldly took control of the
meeting, using for that purpose
about a dozen third party men, who
by all rights had no voice in a
Democratic meeting. Only IS per-
sons were present, about two-tbirds
of whom were Pros, led by those
doughty champions, G. Il. Teal
and I. j. Hickman, who managed
their strikers with an astuteness
worthy of better cause. When
it is remembered that only a few
weeks ago these gentlemen were
squelched in an overwhelming vote
of two to one in the parish at large,
on well defined issue, this little
trick looks a bit cheeky. However,
the meeting was called by the Anti
chairman, and their action recog-
nizes him as an authority and vir-
tually ignores their pretended COM
mittee and its chairman. Taking
this view of the case, the Ants
good naturally accepted the gauge
of their hayward political broth
ers, in the hope that it is a turning
point and they will be better boys
In the future.

James Blaine, of Maine.

On the 4th day of June, Secre-
tary of State James g. Blaine,
without word of warning, sent in
his resignation to the President,
which was accepted to take effect
Immediately. Mr.. Blaine's letter
to the President is very short, only
about ten lines, and gives no reason
for his action. The whole country
is agog over the situation, and the
calculating politicians say it is a
direct and decided intimation that
he wants and will accept the Re-
publican nomination for the Presi-
dency.

Amongst other news from Con-
gress we notice that the committee
on rules of the House has decided
that after the appropriation bills
have all been disposed of, three
days shall be given to the repre-
sentatives of the Farmers Alliance
for consideration of such measures
as they desire to call up. The
arrangement is the result of the
persistent efforts which have been
made by the alliance men in con-
gress to have debate upon the sub
treasury bill, and it is probable
that the three days allotted will be
mostly consumed in the considera-
ton of this bill.

the "no quorum" snag, and resolu-
ton revoking all leaves of absence
except on account of sickness was
adopted early in the week, and the
Sergeant at Arms has run up a
big bill telegraphing to absentees.
In spite of all this it is not beliey-
ed that it will be possible to keep
a quorum together for two days at
a time during the remainder of this
month. The cause is evident. This
is national convention month. AT
least half of the Republican men,
bers of the House are now at Min
neapolis, or Oh their way there, and
when they return, which will not
be much before the middle of the
month, about the same percentage
of Democrats will 60 to Chicago,
remaining away from Washington
at least a week. Congressman are
only human, and it is perfectly nat
ural that they should desire to aid
in the selection of the national
ticket of their party.
A notable feature of the exodus
of the Republican Senators and
Representatives to Minneapolis is
the large number of private cars
which have been placed at their
disposal by the owners. Thisshows,
as nothing else can, how close the
Republican party is to the big cor
porations of the country. 1t costs
money, and lots of it, to maintain
and run a private parlor car, and
the railroad magnates are not do
ing it for fun-they expect to be
amply repaid for all favor shown
to these Republican Congressman.
Mr.. Cleveland's friends in Con-
gress say there is no good reason
to suppose that the Syracuse con-
testants will hurt or help anybody's
candidacy at Chicago, while Sena-
tor Hills friends contend that the
Syracuse convention made boilers
of Mr.. Cleveland's friends in that
State, and that he is now out of
the question as the nominee.

Our Washington Letter.
wAsHUeToN. d. G.. June s.

WAsHloeToN. d. G., June s. 1892.
The Blaine-Harrison rumpus has
reached a stage dangerous alike
to both of them, and many of
the prominent Republicans who
have left here for Minneapolis
within the last 48 hours have ex-
pressed themselves as opposed to
nominating either Blaine OF. Har-
rison. Secretary Foster is much
chargrined at the boomerang eff
feet of the ''nigger" document,
signed by Fred Douglass, Auditor
Lynch, Register Bruce, and Con-
gresham Cheatam, which was
sent out at his suggestion through
one of the press associations early
this week for the purpose of injur-
ing Blaine. 1t is, according to in
formation received here, hurting
Harrison more than Blaine. 1t is
among the probabilities that the
Grant Blaine fight may be duplica-
ted at Minneapolis and dark
horse capture the nomination.
The Harrison men are making
desperate efforts to get Blaine to
announce that he will not accept if
nominated, and as an inducement,
it is said that Mr.. Harrison has
offered to nominate his son-in-law,
Col. Coppinger, to the vacancy
made by the retirement of Briga-
der Gen. David s. Stanley, few
days ago. Mr.. Blaine has been very
anxious to get Col Coppinger pro-
NOTED, and one of the reasons for
his late GOODNESS toward Mr.. Har-
rison was his failure to secure the
last vacancy for him, but be is in
the sulks now and the offer may
have 10 effect.
Senator Sherman's 2-day speech
against the free coinage bill, which
the Senate has agreed not to vote
upon until after the 14th inst, was
an able presentation of the 6nan-
cial question at his point of view,
but it will change no votes; indeed,
the silver men claim to have made
two recruits Senators Hill, and
Hunton of Virginia on the day it
was finished.
The Republicans of the House
sat like deaf mutes when Repre-
sentative Moses challenged them to
show the benefit receivsd by the
farmer under the Mckinley tariff
law, and offered to vote the Repub-
lican ticket for the rest of bis life
if any one could show him that the
Mckinley act benefited the man
who raised bale of cotton or a
bushel of wheat There was one
exception among the Republicans,
Mr.. Bergen, of New Jersey, but as
soon as he opened his mouth he
put his foot in it, and that was the
last of him. Impossible tasks are
not alluring to Republicans or
others.
Senator Turpie paid his respects
I to the administration, yesterday
in speech criticising the action
of the President in issuing rGxalia-
tory proclamations against Hayti,
! Columbia, and Venezuela, because
of their failure to make reciprocity
agreements with us.

Kisses for Coin.

A big church row is on the boards
in Buffalo, and the Lutheren denomi-
nation is responsible for it.
The church being hard up for coal
held a fair and induced six of the
prettiest married ladies in the parish
to sell kisses at 25cts apiece.
There was a big rush and scram-
BILE for place, after about ten min
utes of promiscuous kissing in which
everybody took a hand. A number
of married ladies who saw their hus-
bands spending money like water for
OSCILLATION, started in to row and
there was a regular riot. At the
same time the church realized large
sum of money and it will be spent in
the service of the lord.
The plan is an excellent one if the
Jealous female can be kept away from
the building where the kisses are sold.
but then she can't be kept away you
know. Kissing makes great deal
of trouble in the church but then
there's money in it-for a while.

FREE SILVER.
What POWnfng Told Philadelphia
Paper.

1.-The sentiment of the people il
Nevada is so strongly in favor O
free silver this campaign that they
will support, irrespective of party, nc
man for President who IL not il
favor of free and unlimited coinage
of silver If the two great parties
should name candidates hostile to
this idea it is contehplat d to run
an independent combination elector,
ial ticket, pledged to support only a
man friendly to the silver interest,
and if neither is friendly to this
interest neither will receive the votes
of the ticket.
"Thls step will be wedge which
will open the way for California,
Colorado, Idaho and South Dakota
to follow eventually in the same line
in order to secure recognition.
Tine full recognition of silver as
circulating medium must and will
come in time" continued General
Powning. The people must have
it; it is necessity. 1t is fact that
there is less gold in this country now
than twenty five years ago, and IN
the face of this the arts and manu-
features are annually absorbing
greater amount, while the natural
supply is dimini shing. This is an
evil in itself sufficient to command
a remedy, but it is being largely
aggravated by the growth and expan
sion of the country; for it is true
that as the population grows the
circulating medium must be increased
in corresponding degree and silver
or paper must be taken up when
gold is not available
Free silver means the develop !
ment of many Of the countless re-
sources of the Pacific States, and !
incidentally an increase in the pros
duction of gold, because one half of
what would be uncovered in the
search for silver, which would be
greatly stimulated by proper legisla~
ton, would be gold, so that the
natural output Of bullion, both gold
and silver, in the State Of Nevada
would be $4,000, 900 year instead
of $40, 900, 900 as at present.

Does Not Pay.

Men are growing more temperate,
says the Chicago Tribune, not be-
cause the law says they shall not
have a chance to get drunk but be
cause public sentiment impresses
upon them the conviction that they
cannot afford to get drunk. 1t is by
strengthening this sentiment that
the work of temperance reform is to
be chiefly prosecuted. Tell man
the law says he shall not get drunk,
and he is quite likely to do it out of
spite; convince him that at does not
pay" to get drunk and no law will be
needed.
