There is mpio truth than poetry in his remarks. jj'Tbe ends a party 1 as in view can opy be attained by the strictest cohort nee and o operation of ti e individual parts that go to mike it up. Any failure with in the party to knowledge this im j.eative necessity, aDy lack of participatibfl in the common pur pose, tends j to the dissipation of strength aud ijo cUfeat in the end.

Obeaiiihce of the proper sort is absolutely inecessary aud it must obtain throughput te ranks, fiom oce end of the organization to the other. This implies! leadership, and leader ship is as nepefesary a concomitant as any other feature. It depends upon peculiar characteristics and these should be sflight for always in the organization? tif a party for battle. The republicans have been more fortunate in- their choice of leaders than ourselfe, we think, for some time past. jliThey have secured such leadership as' has inspired confidence &li along. their line and enforced a discipline which has been superior to that if the democracy. How this pas been done we leave for democralic statesmen to deter mine. But hese statesmen of ours should set l themselves to discover why we havfi sailed of late in this re gard and ehpjlild devise a remedy for the evil witlfdut delay. The discipline of the repulcans is so good that it is said with tuth, we believe, that the republican members of the next House wili respect to the Speakership Swill "most of them be slow to decide upon their course They are a '.11 impressed with the re sponsibility! bef ore them in framing the party's eburse, and they will think a loug whil over it. lathe end they have got to ftu.ll altogether to a man and they jajfe going to be very care ful to arousjb ho serious antagonisms." We do noljmean to say we have no discipline or 'leadership in the demo cratio party . ! We do not mean to say we havelbt brains and ability. We have both brains and abilicyin large measure anqj we have, moreover, pa triotic statelaanehip of the highest order and ab?ve all right on our side. At the same' fime the discipline and leadership ofj the democracy is less effective than that of our enemies, and the recent result at the polls proves it. H We must ;M wise men Bet about curing our ; defect in the two res pects to which we have alluded, and our public rpen must point out the way to the rank and file. jif . - VT v,osgbe8sju5juciiisly is a very shrewd republican as well as one of the most respectable of the wrong side of the tlonse. fHe is reported as saying thai the talk of his party being now insured for twenty five years of powr is mere extravagance "It we are to? win agaia in '92," he continues, "; will ba upon what we do between 'f$8 and that time. We can't win on j the past." He is very right. Hia party has nothing in the past to win op. Before thejieople it hss everything to lose on and the popular intelligence will have become so wen lniormea by on the press ing issue of ioday and the immediate future tariff tax reduction, that it will be impossible for the republicans o win by arjy means. The contest just passed was Bprung upon them. In was forced) upon them before they were prepares! for it. Rut the cam paign of information will proceed,and in '92 the republican party will be rele gated to theleondition of "innocuous desuetude" tlhich alone it is fitted to adorn. The! party of trusts and mo nopolies and; j corporate greeds must necessarily g under when the people 8 peak and are allowed to act at the North as at the South without coer cion. The popular majority is against it this time largely. The majority in the electoral follege as well will be against it nekt time.

Mr. Vandever has not yet perfected the measure, but he secured leave from the House to send it to the appropriate com mittee when. it is put in Bhape. Mr. Vandever said, in explanation of his bill, that the great length of the State of California! had resulted in a diver sity of interests, and that it was thought that the interests of the people of the two sec-tgons would be advanced if each section could legis late for itself aloe. The graat length of coast line of thaS ate and its variety of climate and resources had rendered State legislation that would be acceptable to the people c f Sjutb and North California very d.flijult, if not impracticable.

Cor. of the News and Observer. Hioop, Japan, Oct. 31, 188S. It does not renuira a lnno- rnci.luro in Japan to become accustomed to ite buock oi earthquakes, and while they are not as fieoueut in this sec tion as in the northern Dart cf t'.e empire, a shock was felt here a short time ago that moved the desk on which I now write rearly two inches from its usual place. Japan is a volcanic country. The mountains ;aml bills that irive such beauty 6 the cenerv are but tho un failing evidence of the m'gbiy up heavals of nature. And to on can tell wlics ur whero tu rent uo fires will burst their i-arthlv cerPiT"nts l'h-r was a srnk-utr proof of this ouiy a ttw mo nLs ao - one which the 1 . v i it of ibis dav in Juiiin will i ..... ividly riAiicmber aud wLich t-c.euce will traiinujit I havo be.n Vf.lua for reiiah'n statiitics before writiukr you in rt gard to llie voicauic eruption of litudai- baU. Lm excitement was bo eroat and the reports so cot flicting that the real iacts couia be ascertained only after the cons dent rush and con fusion was over. Ia tLe north of Japan, there arises- alobg the shores of the Facific Oce.n a rane of mountains known among geologists as Abukuma. Towards the interior, and along-side this range, is a chain of volcanic mountains. One of the chains is called Baudai Sau. It is situattd in lat. 37 dei?. 30 min. N. and loni?. 140 deer. 6 min. E. Baudai Sau had been classed as one of the active volcanoes many years ago. .tradition states that it was in a state of eruption 807 A. D Since then it has been quiet. If its sides were ever scorched by lava the traces bad disappeared. Nature had been kind and had clothed them again with vegetation, which,fertilized t il ' l ii. ... oy its eany ana tne latter rains, seemed to promise peace and rebose. The dwellers at its base and in the plains below, had followed their vo cations for centuries without anv in dieation t of an impending change more ternoie tnan any inundation that ever swept the Hollander from his home or destroyed his meadows. The morning of the 15.h of July, 1888, came bright and clear. The mountain that had so long given beauty to the landscape btill stood in hold relief against the sky and caught the first raj b of the rising sun on its loftv summit mote than five thusand feet above the level of the sea. About 7 o clock on the morning of the day named a rumbling noise was heard It was like the sound of thunder often heard by the natives among the moun tain gorges, rviinin na.f an hour came a sudden shock, lastinc as lone aS twenty seconds followed soon af ter by a violent shaking of the ground -when a dense column of black smoke (steam and dust) shot into the air, making a tremendous noise. Then explosion followed explosion, in quick succession, mauncr about twttv. ( belching forth smoke and convening daylight into pitohy darkness. The terror stricken inhabitants 4 of the neighborhood fled for their lives. In one ham'et the inhabitants attempted to escape to a mountain only five hundred yards distant. The route lay across the valley, every foot cf which -was under cultivation and fa miliar. - Not one succeeded in escap ing. All were drowned in a sea of hot mud, which, from the devious way it came, must have traveled at the rate of forty miles ner hour. Tt is estimated that 416 were killed and 70 wounded. Only 117 bodies have been recovered. In addition to the killed and wounded, the recion. hav ing a radius of fifteen miles, round tne centre or tne volcano, almost totally devastated, and the damming of the river Okawa completely inundated the village of Hihara, situated on its banks. The river Nagase was also dammed, and inundated its tanks for six miles inis diversion ot the water courses has proven very destructive to crops and entailed great cover tv and want. The mountain looks as though it had been struck two blows by a colossal axe and cleft from its summ t down. ward. The depth of the first cash ia aoout lour nundred feet. It! is al most a sheer cut, one little edge alone breaking its uniform creoinit&ncv. The second stroke was delivered about a hundrad yards outwards from the base of the first. It Eenet rated two hundred feet and laid are a cauldron from which mat volumes of steam hiss and puff. The quantity of this mountain destroyed is estimated at 2,982 million tons. The greyish blue powder thrown out covered an area of 1,037 square miles, the mud, earth and rocks an area of 27 square miles. As many as 27,000 acres oi forest have been de stroyed. Nearly four, hundred of cultivated land have been buried and three thousand acres of rice fields threatened with destruction. Rocks, measuring from 20 to 30 feet each way were deposited many miles away from the crater. But atatiu. tics appear cold and unfeeling in con nection wiCQ tne appalling destruc tion tf life and property by the ex plosion, as it were of amine contain ing thousands of tons of dyna mite. The bodies recovered were so mn- tila'ed an to h hflvnml iha nnaaiKllil. rf recognition, exceot the body nf a little child, which was found to pre serve a semblance oi completeness. Evon in the midst of aunh a flnml nf boiling mud and hot rocks and pitchy darkness parental love triumphed and parental arms would have shielded the child fr jra danger. lbe Japanese have been nromni to me every possible relief to tha suf ferers, aud many who were spared are working today m sight of their buried kindred and homes.
