UTUBMS TO SMITE THEM.
Two battle cries of tbe Kepubli
can party have lately become boom
r-rangs and are smitiug down the
throwere. In stentoriuu tones they
have met the cry of imperialism from
the Deaaoerata by tbe taaat of "Who
will Haul Down the Klag?" nnd just
as their spell-binders were gctting in
good work, as they thought oa thia
line, the report of the receding po
sition taken by Mr. McKinh-yV
agents in Alaska bl made pabttO, U
seems that there was B contr
with Kngland over a bouudarv line
which had never heretofore been in
diapute, and iu a most gracious man
ner the Administration hauled down
the Stars and Stripes and tnrticd
over to Knglaml a strip of Daiaad
Statca territory twi-lve miles in
breadth. So much for Mr. McKin
ley'a eagerness to cuny foaag with
Kngland. Thia concession is a re
markable one, but it createa less won
derment than it w'ould otherwis,
have done had OOt MOBIIB McKinlev
and Hay showed a epirit of "boot
licking" in the matter of the Paunce
forte treaty.
The other boomcrang is that of the
"Full dinner-pail." They would
make the work inan believe that
liberty and taxation wviv small
things when eoinpared to a full
stomach. Also that aa are living in
times of prospcrity, and that work
men are not idle, and the mills run
uiug over time. About the time the
campaign button was stamped with
a dinner pail the cotton mills at Fall
Itiver, Mass., closed down; shortly
afterward right here at home the
fumacea of the Viiginia Coal and
Iron Company atopped, and on hfe*
day last 140,000 miners in the Wy
oming Vealoj of IVnnsvlvania threw
down their picks hBOBBBB tbej were
not gettiug suilident aaajaj tOOBO
port themaelves and families after
the Company'a sior.s aad taxed them
to the utmost for the proiisiuns
which they were compelled to buy
there.
Thia ia one of the BBblimest spec
?acles which has been witnessed in
thia great couutry since the "Molly
Maguires" raged through the iVnn"
eylvania coal tielda. So great a bear
ing doea it appear to have upon the
political proapecta th-s fall that the
Kqmblican National Comniittee is
juatatpreseut bending its energies
almost solely in efforta to counteract
>t. They put up the cry that tho
fitrike waa prompted by Ib-mocrats,
and this throwa a ludicrous phase
over the whole matter. Theoe aaea
have always heretofore voted the Be
publican ticket, along with their
bosses, andit will bf intereating to
watch eventa in that rock-ribbed
Kepublicau state.

Nevek within the history of this
country has so dreadful a calamity
fallen upon our land us was visited
upon the people of (ialveaton, Texas,
laat week, and perhaps only the
calamities which hefell PompJii in
Italy and Lisbon in Portngal, excel
it in the annala of the world's his
tory. The former was blotted out by
Vesuvius about the begining of the
Christian era and the latti-r was al?
most swept away by ihe aea in l;;;,.
Not even the Chicago lire, the.Johna
town ilood, or the Charleston earth
quake can compaie in horror to ihe
dire viaitation of lVovi.Vnee on the
city of Oalveston. llardly :i fatnily
escaped without the loss of one or
more members,and not the lenal bar
rowing part of it was the many
Suicides occasioned by grief and
deapair. History can hanlly furnish
a counterpart to the heroic strivings
of mothers to eave their children,
many losing their iives iu the mad
rush of waters while attempling to
swim with their balxs to places ol
safcty.
