Ii shakes Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia, September 2.-An earth
quake shock lasting several seconds was
felt IN this city shortly after O'Clock
yesterday morning. This disturbance 10y
mother earth of the quiet of the Sabbath
morning was violent enough, while it
lasted, to create great deal of couster>
nation and not a little damage Build-
ings percepubly swayed, windows clat-
tered and banged and clocks and pic
tures toppled from their places.
The shock was most severely felt in
the suburban districts, and it is said that
In one part of Georges Hill, in Fair

mIttIng the entrance of a plummet
which extended down distance of over
a hundred feet without touching bot,

II Is mournful fact that several lead
ing Republican papers of the state are
not willing to accept the conversion of
Brother Quay to the sacred cause of re-
form as being thing to swear by. The
Philadelphia Telegraph is one of these
doubling Thomases, and says:
For 80 years Mr.. Quay has been stand
ing detiantly in opposition to the cause
OF reform. He has never before had
anything but sneers and supreme con-
tempt for those whom he regards as the
orlsts, purists and crauks. Now this
thorough paced politician wraps himself
IN the white robes of reform and poses
as It's champion, This Is enough to
make the owls OF the Alleghenies unite
IN hoot that might be heard through
the land. Without the aid of political
time servers Mr.. Quay would have been
beaten out Of sight. He renews his
commission As the autocrat of the Re
publican party in the greatest Republi
can state OF the Union by the grace of
those whose combined ignorance, selfish
ness and weakness has again POSTPONED
the day of the peoples deliverance.

IHE coal commerce Of the country.
says the Philadelphia Times, is deep in
suggestions to the advocates of high
protective schedules. For the wear past
the total coal production of Canada.
which includes British Columbia and the
Northwest terri rltOries, amounted to 3. 454.
loS. The consumption of coal in the
Dominion aggregated 5,496,77G tons.
and while Canada exported 995. .g9S tons
the imports amounted to !, $50, ,522 from
the United States
When tariff OF coal was reduced from
- to 10 cents a ton it was claimed that
such course would ruin the soft coal
mining industry Of Pennsylvania and
W est Virginia as Canadian coal would
compete and flood the markets. Under
the first year of the Wilson tariff bill the
Dominion imports half as much coal as
the Nova Scotia and other operations
were capable of producing, and all this
with the Cape Breton miners making 70
cents ton to the average rate Of to
cents in this state.
What would the situation be if there
was no tariff tax? The removal of So
cents of the tax increased imports from
this country nearly one million tons in
the year just ended-a very contrary
claim to the predictions of the calamity
hOwIers.

IMPROVEMENT in markets and prices,
says DUa's R....sg, continues, and where
as a few months ago everybody was nurs-
ing the faintest hopes Of recovery, it has
now come to be the only question what
branches. If any. the rise in prices and
the increase in business may go too far.
\ strong conservative feeling Is finding
expression, not a. vet controlling the
markets or industries. but warning
against too rapid expansion and rise
In some directions the advance in prices
clearly checks future business But en-
couraging features have great power
10y syndicate deposits and expected to
cease soon. AuXietieS about the none
tary future no longer hinder. Crop
prospects, except for cotton, have some
what improved during the week. I'm
pOrtauJ steps toward reorganization of
great railroads give hope to investors.
Labor troubles are for the moment less
threatening, and some of importance
have been definitely settled. The in
dustries are not only doing better than
anybody expected, but are counting on
a great business for the rest OF the year.
The advance In prices Of iron and its
products has added about - per ton
more in single week to the price OF
BeSsemer iron at Pttshurg, and vet the
great steel companies are buying
wherever they can, while the air is full
Of reports that this or that finished pro
| duct will further advance. Many of the
ablest men deplore this rapid rise, note
that it may expose some branches to for
eign competition, and urge that consum-
ers begin to hesitate. But the various
combinations which now control many
iron products have so successfully lifted
prices thus far, that the markets seem
to lack the restraint of individual eau
ton, and meanwhile holders of large
quantities purchased for future sale or
| delivery want to get all they can for
them. The demand, whether on old or
new orders, appears large enough to sus-
tain all advances yet made, and strikes
OF ore handlers and Marquette miners
cause fear that supplies OF Bcssemer ore
may run short.

WHEN the Democratic State Conven-
ton assemblies, says the Philadelphia
Record, it should declare in unmis-
taxable language for the abolition of
the superior court, and make that an
issue both this year aud next, when a
new legislature Is to toe chosen. In or
der that there may be no misapprehen-
sion of the position Of the party the can
dIdates put IN nomination for Judges of
the superior court should be pledged in
advance not to accept penny of salary
after the court shall have been abol-
ished.
While the Republican platform con
veys a strong rebuke to the Hastings
administration in its declaration for the
abolition of unnecessary offices and
salaries which the recent legislature
busted itself in creating, and which the
governor approved, the effect of the re-
buke Is weakened by the generality OF
its terms. The Democratic platform
should be explicit, and should call
things and persons 10y their right names
Since superior court is to be elected it
Is to the advantage Of the people that
they should have the best material in
the state to choose from. The Dem.
ocrats should, therefore, name a full
/ ticket. If proper men shall be named
there Will be no difficulty in securing
their acquiescence in a pledge not to
avail themselves Of the en,oIuments OF
office in case the office itself should be
abolished.

a negro, he disappeared and was seen no
more. These thre men afterward
swOre that they witnessed his drowning
while rowing in leaky boat, but
after strict search his body could
not be recovered.

to this he began loading up with life in

messed Fraker's death were men of bad
character. They Immediately set on
foot plans for his capture with the re
suits given.

evidenced late in the campaign was only
possible after TIE combine had confused

San Francisco, August 31.-The
steamer MonOwai, which arrived last
night from Australian ports, did not
stop at Honolulu, as usual. When off
that port the steamer was hailed by the

Chinese the cholera broke out soon after
the steamer Belgic left on her last trip

by that vessel. The MOnowai did not
enter Honolulu harbor, but steamed di-
rect to San Francisco. Her pa sengers
for Hawaii were brought here. There
had been eights deaths from the disease
