The sea Threw Rocks.

An Astoria (Oregou) dispatch says:

Rock to invesii gate the damage to the
light from the recent hurricane. The
sea was too rough to approach within
speaking distance OF the rock, AMI the
chief keeper sent his report to the
steamer in bottle, attached to buoy.
The report stated that the hurricane
was the worst ever experienced on the
coast. Mountains of water dashed
against tine rock on which the light
stands, clrrying away the top of the
adjoining rock. Great waves leaped
over the high walls, spending their
force on the building, which trembled

raging sea below. A crash OF glass
told Of the damage caused by the
waves. Fragments OF rock, torn loose
from the foundation, were hurled
against the outer glass, which pro.
tected the costly lenses. The panes
were all broken and the lenses ruined,
and the clock machinery revolving the
light rendered useless The force of
the wind and waves can be imagined

These books are merely those which
have been ordered by him, and sent

His library grows apacc.
As reader, however, Mr. Cleveland
is known to devote himself almost
wholly to works which afford him ma
tcral for his own essay in authorship
This book will probably appear when
the president lays down the cares OF
Office, it being well known that he will
not hear of any mention OF his name in
connection with third term. The
plan of it is not new to those who
have had opportunities of observing the
progress Of the work, but they are very
few. Mr. Cleveland is presenting eco
nomic science from a point of view
somewhat in advance of j. Stuart Mill.
His book is divided into four depart.
mcntS. production. consumption, dis.
tribution and exchange, and there is :.
special chapter under the department
of consumption on the theory OF mar.
ginal utility. This theory does not
seem to find much favor with Mr..
Cleveland. From what can be gath
cred on the authority pf those who nave
talked with Mr.. Cleveland, he does not
mean to eXpound doctrine SO much MS
to make clear the lines along which
progress III economic thought must pro.
coed. This way of going to work has
permitted copious illustration drawn
from American history. In this Mr..
Cleveland seems to strike a new note
But there are difficulties In the wav
OF forecasting the work itself, owing to
the literary methods of the author. As
has been stated, Mr.. Cleveland has
been some years now gathering ma
terials Tor his book. Il is merely an in.
tcllcctual exercise with him, and he re-
viscs and rcviscs. and makes copious
references. What he writes is the worl;
of his own hang. In his library at
Woodley Mr.. Cleveland reads far into
the night. He writes at late hours. too.
for he is likely to be the least disturbed
then. AZ this rate it takes months to
write a chapter, and even then there is
further delay, because the manuscript
is laid aside and sometimes not looked
at for many weeks, when the matter is
cruelty edited by &s own author
OF course, the distractions OF public
life are largely responsible for the de
lay. This is one reason why the book
is not destined to appear until Mr.
Cleveland becomes 4 private citizen
Another is the unSsual care the author
is taking in the matter OF classification

political party, and as long as we do
rely on such a conservator, we
simply admit our own weakness:
and by implication become the
wards of the party who will use our
vote to advance their own ends.
And at the same time despise our
weakness and ignore our claims. If
any of you doubt this statement,
you need but to look around you
either in this city or in any other
Republican community, and observe
the insincerity of this party, toward
the colored men, In the distribution
of Office and places of trust and
honor. The colored race is now
free and equal before the law, and
will remain so forever, if they will
not fetter themselves by alignment
with the party, for the soul reason
that they are negroes. Your destiny
is in your own hands, and you must
work out your own salvation, by the
exercise and display of inheretant,
manly qualities.
The Nel1 Democracy stands with
extended hands and open arms, In
viting you to tread the pathway of
human progress by her side. She
asks you to receive the comfort and
sympathy you so much need and
desire; she desires that you should
become intelligent, and study the
public questions of the day, and
act freely and conscientiously there
on. She wants you to be good
and noble men and women, and to
prosper and be happy, and leave
behind you examples of virtue as
imperishable as the mountain
ranges that overshadow this beauti-
full valley. And finally she claims
you as her child and brother; your
home is with her children, your
songs, your tears, your joys, have
for generations been mingled with
hers, and at last, your dust will be
consigned to mother earth, side by
side with the sons and daughters Of
this new Democracy, to wait the
events of time and eter-
nifty. Shall we not reach out our
hands and accept this profered giftH
Shall we not thus encircle our race
with the halo of sunshine and
glory, which will inger with US to
the end of timer Let US dedicate
our strength anew, for the cause Of
liberty and justice, and at last,
There shall come a time when brother
hood
Shows stronger than the narrow bonds,
Which now distract the world. When
canons
Roar and trumpets blear no longer.
When ironclads rust, and battle flags are
Furled, when the bars Of creed and
speech,
And race which sever, shall be fused in
one
humanity forever.
