The Rival Democracy.

Our principal rival for popular FAVOR, the
old careworn discouraged, broken down.
disunited democracy, has for forty years
wendell it's weary way through the trou-
bled field of politics. just as the comet OF
1I76 passed among the satellites Of Jupiter
without disturbing in the slightest degree
the motion Of the heavenly BODIES.
Our party sprang from the aroused anu
uuickened conscience of the people. 1t mas
been supported by the masses OF our coun.
trymen; it has been guided by the mig nest
wisdom, and it's buttressed fortresses nave
been the watchtowers of the republic. Us
onward march has emblazoned history with
a refulgent glow.
l make bold to assert that no American
patriot. even had he the power. of the tabled
Joye, would blot out single page OF our
party achievements or alter by so much as
a single line any important accomplish
ment for which we are responsible.
Our great Industrial system Is the magnet
around which circles the commerce of the
world. The value of our domestic trade
greater in the aggregate than the foreign
commerce of England, France and Ger
many combined.
1t has been freely predicted by our op.
ponents that our tariff wall would not only
prevent commercial relations between
America and the great countries Of the
world. but that most dire consequences
would follow the re-enactment Of our law
How idle the prophecy; how worthless such
a gift of vision. We not only rebuilt the
tariff wall, destroyed by the Cleveland ad-
ministraton, but in the face of their pre-
diction we have kindled the fire In the fur
naces, furnished employment to millions OF
our countrymen anxious to expend their
energy in useful and profitable labor. and
we have actually sold to Europe more
agricultural and manufactured goods than
has ever been done in the history of our
government

VoIcanos Still at Work.

Another eruption of Mont Pelee vol
cano occurred during the evening of May
26, causing a great panic at Fort de
France, but the cinders and scOria did
not reach the town, falling entirely on
the north of the island, which is com
pletely devastated. st. Pierre is CON-
pletely covered with lava and it will be
dangerous to approach the place until
the covering hardens. Ash showers and
detOnations continue and it is impossible
to adequately describe the desolation
that reigns. The inhabitants of the
stricken island are leaving as fast as
possible, 900 of them, mostly desti-
tute, being now on the island of Guade-
loupe. La Soufriere on st. Vincent
island continues active, sending streams
of lava into the sea and dense clouds OF
sulphurous smoke into the air. An
other crater has been formed and smaller
vents are opening at various places. A
thunder storm broke over the island, the
rainfall being SO heavy that bodies of
the buried victims OF the buried victims
