An AWFUL CATASTROPHE.

One of the NEST appalling and fear
full events which has occurred in this
country for many years was the cy-
clone which destroyed a large part of
the city of ST. Louis on Wednesday.
The loss of human life was terrible, it
being estimated that the number of
killed and wounded will aggregate one
thousand, while no estimate can be
made of the damage to property. The
number and force of the tremendous
storms which have swept out of ex-
istence many towns and villages in our
Western country, and destroyed Il
large number of lives, has been suffi-
Gent to send thrill of horror through
out the land, but the awful calamity of
Wednesday stands pre-eminent. The
wind blew at the rate of so miles an
hour Aft the cyclone had wrecked
whole blocks of buildings and buried
almost numberless victims beneath
the ruins, a dozen fires broke out, and
flame, flood and wind combined in the
destru ,tive work until the eastern
part of the city was blotted from the
map. On the river the great Eads-
bridge, one of the greatest engineering
feats in history was blown down.
Scores of steamboats, sunk with all
on board, and to add to the scene, the
horrors of which words can hardly
describe, the electric and gas lights
were extinguished, and darkness was
only relieved by the glare of the con-
flagrations which followed the disas-
ter.
All that our art or science can do is
useless to prevent these fearful revolu-
tions of nature; andithose of us whose
country has thus far escaped should be
more grateful to that power through
whose Pemency we have escaped.

One of the most horrible tragedies
of the year was enacted at Gathers
burg, Montgomery county, on Mon
day, when Mr. r. Lemuel Buxton, his
wife and two young daughters were
murderously assaulted while peace
fully sleeping. Several colored men
have been arrested charged with the
crime. and it is to be hoped that the
real perpetrators OF the awful crime
will speedily receive justice.

In most cases OF sickness there are
what are termed reactionary periods.
Times when the surging waves of
disease are checked; when the benefit
of remeoral agencies is best felt, and
direct steps are taken leading to re-
storation to perfect health. 1t is then
that every effort of the wise physician
is used to restore the wasted energies,
and facilitate recuperation, and it il
the same with political parties. When
such a revolution takes place as that
which convulsed Maryland last year,
and the control of the State is wrested
from the grasp of the party, to which
it naturally belongs, even a casual
observer can plainly see that the
cause must be attributed to disafToc
ton. The political history of our
State shows that it is naturally Demo
cratic, and any change in the govern
ment must arise from causes other
than mere difference in party princi-
Piles.
The decided change in the ad-
ministration which occurred last
year, must be attributed to the
wave of popular dissatisfaction which
swept over the State. Leaving out of
the question the issues which brought
on the revolution, it becomes us to
examine the results and discover
whether the change has been
remedial; and if not, then what
methods are to be used to restore the
government to the party to which it
naturally belongs.
The redemption of party promises
and the fulfilment of party pledges,
should be carried out to the letter
A year of active politi cal strife has
opened upon us, and it is one in which
that strife will be naturally waged
with unusual energy. How are we to
conduct it? By relentlessly shutting
the doors against all who feeling
themselves aSgrieved, or who, rebelling
against the party management, de
serted the standard during the past
few years; or by extending to all
hearty invitation to reunite with us
and join in such a campaign against
the common enemy as must result
in a victory. Surely no one who has
at heart the good of the party, and
who is willing to consider self as sub.
ordinate to that party, would wish to
adopt the former course. The Demo-
cratic party needs the help of every
voter to insure victory in the coming
contest. Let the dead past be buried
in the grave of oblivion. 1t il essen
TALLY necessary that the Second Con
gressional District shall be represented
in the Fifty-tifth Congress bya Dem
ocrat. To that end every means used
should be conciliatory. elimination
and re elimination should cease, per-
sonalities be dropped, and the unity
of all discordant elements earnestly
sought. We have a united and de-
termined foe to fight. Let us welcome
back to our ranks all who have been
beguiled from them by any means, and
the way is clear to a triumphant close
o: the campaign.

Whatever of sins the members of
factions have committed in the past
should be forgiven and all members
of what ever faction, should be invited
to the feast and general uniiication.
The machinery of the party should be

the members of the party who helped
to defeat it last year, should now
direct their efforts toward aiding the
faithful in building up the party and
restoring it to its old-time strength.
