True, 1t may be expedient to let some of 1t fade out of political re- membrance, but in many respects 1t is the most progressive document ever pro- mulgated by the party which claims Thomas Jefferson as its founder.
 The chief trouble with the Democratic party in Congress, particularly in the House of Representatives, is that it has no man of conspicuous abiliE to lead it. There are many able men In it's ranks. but some of them are too old, while those young enough for the battle are too timid and conservative. All of them seem to lack that enthusiasm and fire without which victory in any case Is impossible.

ENTIRE CITY FlRE-SWEPT.
ST. PIERRE, N. f., PRACTICAL.
LY WIPED OUT BY A CON
FLAGRATION.

st. Johns, N. F., Nov. 4-The
town of St. Pierre, MiQuelon, has been
by fire. A destructive con-
hsgration swept the main portion OF
the town. The governors house. the
government building, the building &C.
cupied by the ministry Of marine, the
Roman Catholic cathedral, the presby-
terry, the schools and a number Of 9TH
er buildings were destroyed.
II has not yet been learned how the
FIRE originated. There was no wind
last night, else the entire town would
probably have been completely oblit-
Grated. Even as it is the extent of the
disaster is very far reaching, and the
financial loss will probably reach
$500. 0oe. There was no loss Of life
or serious accident. The rapid spread
OF the confisgration was due to the
trifiing water supply and to the fact
that st. Pierre has no adequate fire.
fighting appliance.
The town Of st. Pierre has been
partly burned down three times before
in 1865, 1867 and 1879.
