The Washington Post credits the Dis
patch with having warned Democratic
boilers that "a day OF reckoning" Is at
hand. The warning was needed. The
lines, however will soon be drawn as be-
tween the true Democrat and the deserter;
and 1t will be idle for the latter to at
tempt to have his political sin forgiven.
There is too much at stake.

FRIDAY EVENING SEPT. IA, 1894.

THE well informed Northern people
know that political bulldozing in the
South is practiced almost exclusively
nv negroes; the others, if not too pre]u-
diced, may now learn the same thing
by reading what the chairman OF the
executive committee of the negro DEM
ocratic league has to say on the sub
iect. which is as follows:
SIT is Just possible that the President
and the party really do not know wnsI
il costs to be a negro democrat-the
social. religious and domestic ostracism
we must brave to meet the storm OF
shuse in the attempt to convince our
neonle that it would be to their best IN
ierest to divide the vote and become
democrats. I have staggered many a
time as | have been forced to meet the
public opprobrium of my religious ana
social friends. Bishops OF my cnurch
have upbraided me. Ministers, irienos
and companions have demonstrated
with me. Poor Bishop Brown, whom
we all loved so we'll, could not stand ii;
he suffered and died under the pres
sure"
But experience proves that hate for
the South is 30 intense in the hearts OF
hundreds of thousands Of Northern
people that they wouldn't believe,
though one from the dead should tell
them, that Southern negroes are bull
dozed by their own race, and not by
the white men for whom they work
and whose self interest is consulted by
making them contented. These peo-
pie must be great fools themselves or
else they are under the impression that
those of the South are. If the latter
be the case, they were never more mis-
taken in all their lives.

THE ELECTRIC RAILwAY.-It IL IN
derstood that special meeting of the
City Council has been called for this
evening to take action on the apphca-
ton of the Washington, Alexandra
and Mount Vernon Electric Railway
Comdany for permission to construct
its road along north Columbus street to
the boundary. 1t does seem strange
that whenever corporation wants ia
vors, it wants them at once, and mem
beers of the City Council are subjected
to the inconvenience of attending spec
ial meetings of that body, and the city
is saddled with the expense attending
the same; but may ask what does this
railway offer in exchange for the use of
Columbus street. Anything? No. it
has cost large sums OF money to open,
grade, gutter, curb and drain that
Street, and now comes corporation
and asks the City Council to gire it the
right to occupy and use it. / suggest
that as the Council imposed upon the
Midland Railroad Company the paving
of Union street, and on the Washing
ton Southern Railway Company the
paving of Henry street, that the Elec-
trio Railway Company should be re-
CURED to pave Columbus street in con,
sideration of the grant they ask. If
Columbus street is paved with Belgian
block or some other modern pavement,
rows of houses will soon be built the:
and the city derive some benefit by
taxation. It is to be hoped the City
Council will impose, as condition foi
the use of Columbus street, the paving
of the same. PROGRESS.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
Fire on a steamer.

NEW YORK, Sept. Nv. R. Grace
& Co.'S steamer Capac. which arrived
from Gillian ports this morning, had
an exciting experience with fire in her
coal bunkers. On August II fire was
reported in the amidships bunker,
where 100 tons of coal were stored. A
line ofhose was at once stretched and Il
stream of water poured on the coal,
with the result of partially smothering
the fire. The fumes of coal gus were
so powerful that the men on deck were
made dizzy. By Aug. IA the fire seem
ed to be out and the bunkers appeared
cool, but on the evening OF the same
dav the fire became worse and in spite
of all efforts to subdue it, gradually
burned its way through the flooring OF
the bunkers and coal and ashes fell
into the bilge, choking the bilge
pumps so that it was impossible to free
the hold of the water which was being
poured into the burning bunkers. The
Capac was at once headed for Rio ia
metro. The night of Augustl6 was one
of great anxiety. The cargo consisted
mainly of nitrate of soda in bags. This
is almost as bad as gunpowder as re-
CARDS infammatory qualities, and for
time it seemed as if the fire would
work its way through the partition
walls and ignite the nitrate. In fact SC
real did this danger become that Capt
Thomas ordered the boats swung oul
on the davits, provisioned and made
ready for lowering. After almost
superhuman efforts on the part of the
crew the fire appeared to lessen in in
tensity and, to the relief of all, the
entrance to Rio Janeiro harbor wa;
sighted in the morning. Firemen from
the city assisted the worn-out crew anc
finally men were lowered into the
bunker and the coal was hoisted up il
baskets. The men could only work {
few minutes at time, but finally afteI
removing several hundred tons the fir
was reached and quickly extinguished
The cause of the fire was undoubtedl,
spontaneous combustion.
