The TERRIBLE disaster which ba

The TERRIBLE disstte which Das

brought forth many uncbartible and
npchristian comments from some per-
AIMS but sincere expressions OF COM
misseration from millions OF other hu-
man beings who see DO avenging sword
of heaven 10 such calsmities. Col.
julius G. Tucker, fotmer o. s. consul
at Martinique, says:
"My first thought when Tread of the
destruction of St. Pierre was that 1t was
simply the history OF SOdom and Go
morrah repeated. The morals OF the
inhabitants OF st. Pierre were very bad.
cannot picture the vice and immor'
ality OF that place wildly enough. IL
had to be seen to be understood"
There is no city on the globe con-
tanning forty thousand Inhabitants
which has not its percentage OF i'm
moral inhabitants. but that st. Pierre
was any more to be considered
modern Sodom than London, Paris,
New York or Chicago msy be
Justly questioned. All seaports have
their ratio of abandoned women, dance
houses and other sllurements. Liver
pool, Cadiz, Barcelona, Marseilles.
Alexandria, Cairo aud sll other ship
ping points abound in such temptations
to lure sailors and visitors from the path
of morality, and that heaven should
sslect a small island on this side OF the
world on which to pour vial OF wrath
Is not clear. Many are apt to jump at
uncharitable conclusions when disasters
oyertake their fellow-creatures who
are often no worse than their crit
les. and the unfortunate inhabi-
tants OF s.. Pierre who were Gre
mated while they slept are likened by
some to Sodom, Gomorrhah, Pompeii,
Herculaneum, ard other unfortunate
cities. II the wrath of heaven was
poured out upon Martinique because
the Inhabitants we're sinners above
Others, the same explanation would
hold good in regard to Lisbon, Calabris,
aud other places which have suffered
from seismic aud volcanic oonvulsions.
When the Great Teacher was told OF
the Galileans whose blood Plate had
mingled with their sacrifices He said
those victims were not sinners above
other Galileans because they suffered
such thioRs, nor were those upon whom
the tower OF Sloan fell, and added the
solemn declaration that all will like
wise perish if they fail to bring forth
fruits meet for repentance. A few
wears ago a minister of the gospel
placed the number Of abandoned wo-
men who prowl about London at night
at sixty thousand. Probably half that
number infest the city OF Paris. For
tunstely there is always a percentage
of righteous people 10 those places TO
stand as buffers against the wrath OF
heaven and the cities are preserved.
Such was not the case in the cities OF
the plains. We have every reason to
believe st. Pierre had an average mum"
Der of moral people within its gates and
if its destruction was the work OF the
destroying angel the axe may now be
lying at the roots of other cities marked
for destruction.

THE PHILIPPINE fire in the Senate
will be on different lines this week.
Toe democrats have decided TO prepare
better substitute for the pending bill
than they have yet offered, and bring
the debate down to the question Of
holding the Islands permanently or &C.
oording them the same opportunity for
independence which was given the Gu
baus. The democratic bill will there
fore follow closely the bill passed by
the republicans respecting the Cubans
and republican arguments against II
will be answered by citing the course
of the government in that instance. II
is the belief OF the democrats that the
time has now arrived when the country
should seriously consider and decide il
the Philippines are to be retained as a
constant source Of expenditure and of
conflict, with only problematical bene-
fits as the result OF all the cost. The
army appropriation OF 100000, 900 and
the enormous sums already expended
on account OF the war in the Philippines
will probably never be regained by this
country, and certainly the prospect at
TIE present time is not encouraging.
The democrats will show that the COL
onizstion system OF England hes not
been q source OF profit to that nation,
aud that failure will eventually result
