Eruption ForetoId in 1892.

While the biggest catastrophes that
make history, apparently come with
out warning, after they are over it is
often easy to see that they have been
foretold. Forty thousand persons
were wiped out by the eruption of
Mont Pelee. But even this disaster,
the saddest since Pompeii, was pre-
dicted.
In 1892, almost exactly ten years
before Pelee sent forth death, NJ
Maturin Ballon, one of Frances best
known geographical explorers, made a
remarkable prediction. In his
Equatorial America, after referring
to the former eruption of the noun
tain, he said:
''Once or twice since then ominous
mutterings have been heard from
Mont Pelee, which, it is confidently
expected will one day deluge St.
Pierre with ashes and lava, repeating
the story of Pompeii.
With what terrible accuracy this
prediction was carried ont the long
death roll at Martinique shows.
Similar callouSneSS under such con-
ditionS is not unusual and has not
been since the days of Noah, when
"they ate, drank and were given in
marriage until the flood came and
carried them away" Each town,
every community, like each individual
man or woman, feels that whoever
meets fate, it will not be 1, And but
for this optimism life would not be
worth the living.--New York Press.

The Richmond Sun, one of the old
est democratic papers in the state, is
afraid the party is going to be republi-
canized. 1t says:
The democrats who hope to carry
elections by adopting republican plat
forms will be wofully mistaken, when
the votes are counted. The Sun-Tele-
gram believes in "getting together,
but if ''getting together" means COM
hitting the party to republican poll
cies then we must say in the language
of a prominent politician now dead
and gone. "There is no necessity for
two republican parties. The one we
have is bad enough; two would make
neither of them better Let US have
a democratic party or abandon it en-
tirely. Let it be the genuine article
and not bastard.

People who travel over the MOnOn

said man Yesterday. ''are attracted
by picture in window of house in
the town Of Oakley, Carroll county.
The house stands near the railroad.
and the picture can be plainly seen
from the car windows. 1t is pict-
ure of William jennings Bryan. 1t
was put in that window in 1896 when
Bryan first became a candidate, it is
said, SO far as l can learn, it has never
been removed. Rain or shine, night
and day, the face of the great Silverite
is always looking from that window.
l have not been able to learn who
lives in the house, but have my
opinion of why the picture is kept
there. You have heard of a man
allowing his hair or his whiSkerS to
grow out long and declaring he would
never cut them until so and SO was
elected to some particular office.
Now, that's the way l have this case
figured out. / Imagine that man put
that picture in the window when
BRYAN was nominated and declared he
would never remove it until Bryan
was elected president.

One.Sited Harmony.

Mr.. Cleveland's speech before the
Tilden Club will be widely read, but
the reading will not add to the cheer
fulneSS of those who are seeking some
kind of compromise by which all the
elements that have ever called them
selves democrats can get together. If
there are democrats whom it will
please they are those who did not vote
for Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and 1900. The
tens of thousands who voted for Mr..
Bryan and the Bryan platforms, even
if they did not believe in them, are
rebuked by Mr.. Cleveland, and all are
told that "there is no hope in new
and gaudy issues and in the interpre-
tatiOn of strange Visions" In nearly
every paragraph there is an attack
upon the democratic policies of the
past eight years and declaration
that he will not act with any organi-
zatiOn of the party which does not
mean the utter reputation of Bryan
ism. In the words of Mr.
Bryan, Mr.. Cleveland will be demo-
crat if the democratic party shall be

A Very Weak Party.

We have no idea that there is any.
thing i'm the much talked-of Cleveland
boom for presidency. David Gilbert.
secretary of the Manhattan Club, New
York, is quoted as saying that the
whole thing rests with Mr.. Cleveland,
and also that his "present mental and
bodily vigor" are unimpaired. If his
mental vigor is as great as Mr.. Gill
bert thinks it to be, Mr.. Cleveland will
make short work of the third term
movement" in his behalf. There is
no man in the country who stands
higher today than Mr.. Cleveland. He
is, indeed, ou- first citizen. In his
dignified retirement he exertS an in
fiuence on the political thought of the
country that is by no means slight.
People know that he is absolutely hon.
est and disinterested, and that he has
no selfish aims or purposes TO serve.
When he speaks, therefore we all
know that he speaks the truth exact
ly as he sees it. He has served bis
country and his party faithfully and
well. And both owe much to him.
Those who are really jealous for Mr..
Cleveland IS fame will be the last to
urge him to do anything to weaken
his influence or to stain the luSter of
his record. If there is only one man
in the country whom the democratic
party thinks that it might be able to
elect, it is weaker even than its Bit
terest enemies have thought.-India-

Bishop Nicholson, of the Milwaukee
Episcopal diocese, has created a mild
sensation among the priests and laity
of the diocese by issuing a sort of
pronunciamento against the use of to-
bacco. The bishop maintains that
there is not one trace of spiritual
help or physical gain from the use of
tobacco, but untold evils have resulted
from it's use.
The extent to which the bishop s
adherence toward tobacco goes is
evidence by the statement that if it
is true that Sir Walter Raleigh in
PRODUCED tobacco into England, "tis a
pity that the ship that carried him
did not sink in the ocean,"

university and st. Mary'S academy,
the two famous educational institu-
tionS of which South Bend is Justly
proud. They were never in more
prosperous condition than now, never
looked more charming with the wealth
of green foliage and of flowers in their
spacious grounds, and no commence
ment season was ever attended by
fairer weather or a larger number of
visitors.
Friends and patrons of college and
academy were here from all over the
United States and not only enjoyed
the beauties of nature with which the
massive buildings OF both institutions
are surrounded but were most hoSpit-
ably entertained. The graduating
classes are larger than ever before in
the history of these great places of
learning, and the exercises of an I'M

A Good Canal Bill.

1t must appear to fair minded peo-
pie that the bill which the senate has
passed to secure an iSthmIan canal is a
much better measure than one bind
ing the country to single route. and
that a route much the longest and
difficult to utilize. If the two routes
had equal merits the senate bill puts
the country in position to get that
which is offered upon the more favor
able terms. 1t has been said the
pending bill will not pass the house.
That may be true, but for the prob
osition to substitute the Panama for
the Nicaragua route the house gave
nearly two-fifths of it's votes at time
when the offer of the French company
to sell its property had not been made.
So far as the senate bill is concerned,
it was passed because, in full debate,
the Panama route appeared the bet
ter by all odds, and more the more it
was discussed the greater the advant-
age of that route appeared;-Indiana-
polls Journal.

The action of the senate in voting
to leave the selection of an iSthmian
canal route to the president may be
disappointing to ardent advocates of
either of the rival routes, but il is
probably a wise conclusion of the mat
ter. The president will approach the
subject without bias, or if he has any
he will diveSt himself of it, and with
a mass of information on the subject
he should be able to reach right con-
cluSiOn.

Secretary Root "has assumed full
responsibility for the payment of
money to General Gomez hy General
Wood during the American occupancy
of Cuba, and if congress asks for an
explanation, he stands prepared to
give the most convincing proof that
the payments were dictated by the
wisest craftsmanship" We have not
a particle of doubt of it. A man Of
unquestioned ability and of the
loftieSt aim, Secretary Root has from
the beginning of his official term,
been ready to assume responsibility.
1t may not be forgotten, perhaps,
that during the Spanish war more
than once when congress called on
the executive for information, the
secretary of war bluntly refused to
give it on the plea that it was against
public policy, and so act after act has
finally come to the surface accredited
to Mr.. Root. We have a great ad-
miration far the secretary's ability.
Above all. he is one of those few men
in the world that gets things done.
The world is full in every office and
avenue of men that are great on dress
parade. but the world is ever poor for
the services of men that can not
merely take orders, but that can see
that the orders are executed. Secre-
tary Root belongs to this rare class of
men, and we'll has he served his coun-
try in a critical time. But it begins
to look by this last revelation as de-
duction from previous acts of the
same kind as if he had a love for
autocracy and secrecy. 1t is not a
question as to whether General Gomez
should have been paid money. 1t is
a question of doing things in high
handed manner. This country is not
used to it, and We hope that it never
will be used to it. OF all people in
the world, we most demand publicity.
We are almost barbarian in our public
ity, and the tendency of our life is to
increase. rather than diminish this
publicity.
AS people we do not relax grasp
of public affairs when we elect an adj
miniStration. The people believe
that they are always to be consulted.
Because Of this characteristic the peo-
pie find out with regret that such
things have been done as the secret
pensioning of Gomez on authority of
the secretary of War.-IndianapoliS
