The earthquakes con tinued te fellow ene ether In quick succession up le 7 n. in. when n leadun-colered cloud was nbseried ndvanclng from the south, spreading nut until it coverod the sky. While still moving It burst with the sound of thunder and shortly after showers of tine dust liegnn falling, for the first tlme In tradition the extinct volcano of Hiiapeha was awakoned into ac tivity. The entlre country, evor en oxtent or 120 miles long by 20 lu breadth, was nothing but a mass or llame and het crumbling soil, which In places rese te n helght of 1,000 feet, capped at the highest point by the Tekepha goyBer, said te have been ene or the grandest In the world. Xumoreus small native vil lages wero totally destroyed. Walrea was covered te a depth of 10 feet with dust and ashes. ONI! llt'NIIItlill ANll SEVENTY MVKS LOST. One hundred and seventy tiorsens are known te have lest thelr lives, among whom wero several I'ngllsh retldeuts. The less el cattle starved te death from the destruction or pastures by dust Is very heavy, and great distress exlsts throughout all the Auckland lake district. In most cases wliere bodies wero round, they wero dead. At the tlme or doarture or the steamer from Auckland the volcanoes were still very active and the temperature of the het lakes was Increasing. As seen as the news of the fearful occurrence was rocetved at Auckland, the government agent made preparations te go te the relief ei the Hiiderers. Wagons were chartered and filled with previsions and clothes. The scenes among the mountains Is terribly grand. Flashes el lightning, peulset thunder and shocks of earthquake followed In quick succession. The most violent disturb ances wero felt in the neighborhood et Ko Ke Ko teura. The violence or the oarthquake led the people tn think the Island had blown up and would sink In the sea. The sensation oxperloncod Is said te have licen beyond description. After tlie first earthquake the Inhabitants rushed about frantically In alt directions. When the second ene was felt the ontlre country was lit up by the glare from the volcano which had suddenly burst forth. (IKANII ANII .UVI'l'I. SCKNl:. The acene was as grand as It was awful. A huge volume of smoke, Illumined with llames, simultaneously burst forth ever the range et mountains sixty miles In length and nbove the llames could be seen the balls of tire, presenting the appearance ei meteers chasing ene another along the sky. All vegotatlen is destroyed and the aspect or the country is entirely changed, lilue I.nke and Iletakakhl have been transformed Inte mud baths. Nearly all the buildings are crushed In by falling mud. At this place Snow Temperance hall and the two principal hotel, as nearly all nther buildings iu town, are completely wrecked. The house occupied by Mrs. Hazard and her family was berne down by the weight of debris. Mr. Ila.ard was dug out alive, but four of her children wero found dead bosldehur.

The captain or the steamship Southern Cress, who arrived at Auckland en the lSth, reports having felt at sea the ellect of the earthquake and volcanic disturbances. He says that ou the morning or the 10th et June, the day following tliu ene ou w hlch the oarthquake occurred, he ox ex ox perionced a downfall of dust which continued three hours.

Tire Cemermllfeancl Iteiireaenlatlre.IeiirimU I'elnt the Proper Cunnie. from llegert's WllkeitmiTC hunter. Thore are nt least loe.ooo veters In this state who have veted the itepuhllcan ticket chiefly for years past, who are very shaky in their nlleglance te the Republicanism of te-day as ropresontod by Quay and hit crowd. View ing the exlstlng situation of Ml airs through the country, and comparing It with what the mouthing demagogues or thelr party pro pre dieted It would be In the ovent or Democratic success, they are ashamed te nil mil, even te themselves, that they allowed thoinselvet te be se roellshly deceived. These or a majority eUhmn.can be wen evor by a properonort,and there growlnglndlcatlens that a proper effort will be made. As tocamlidatet thore is an almost unlimited supply or the very best material te choeso from, though It must be admitted that seme of the names mentioned would neither grace neradd strength te the ticket. All that Is needed is that the char actors of the men be such that the party's pledges shall be redoemod, and that these pledges shall boldly aud squarely meet every pending Issue. Ilrlelly they should be: 1st. Aplndgethat the party shall be har monized for an honest fulfillment of the tarlft reform pledges or the national platform. This pled go should be supplemented by an address clearly oxpeslng the Insidious falla cies or that put out by the convention et last week, and showing, as It easily can be shown, that the tarill", as at present existing, Is net needed ler and does net conduce tn thn rait. lug or wages, but that it does tend te the abridgement or natural markets ter our sur plus products and thereby throws large nuui nuui bers et our working poeplo into Ireqiientand long continued periods or enforced Idleness, thoreby reducing Instead or maintaining wageH, and that In this and ethor wavs It is n fruitful aid te the creation and maintenance el oppresslvo monopolies. 2d. A pledge that the antl-discrimlna-tlen laws se clearly called for by the state constitution shall be put upon the astate books at the earliest possible day. 3d. A plodge that the utmost economy shall be oxerclsed iu the management et the state's moneys, and that whatever surplus the statements of the treasury shall at the end of each year exhibit, shall be applied, tlrst, te thosiieediost posslble liquidation or the state debt, and, secend, te the largest possible cutting down of local taxes, ettber by Increasing the appropriations for schools or transferring the liquor, mercantile and otner licenses und taxes te the county treas ury. Theso three pledges are in strict accerdance with Doinecratlo teaching. With them fairly and fully made In the platform, any one of n half dozen gentlemen can be named who, backed by suitable candidates for the lesser olllces, could take the nomination for govorner and, heading an actlve speaking canvass, win success almost beyend a per adventure. Let us carry the issue or the rights and In terests or the people, the ta-taylng, hard working people against the power et the bosses and the monejiolles, te the deer or every buslness man and every working man In the state. Let us de It manrully and honorably. Let us have a regular old-fashioned light for llve principles and the result must be a victory. A Voice I'rein Yerk. Frem Stuck's erk- Age. The tarill" is an Issue vastly tee important te be lest sight of, but te attempt te make an lssuoerlt In a campaign te which It Is en tirely foreign, is te hack the Democratic party with a double edged sword, Invite over whelming defeat for the state ticket and allow congressional elections te be made a go-as-you-please. The plain duty of the state convention, if it touch at all upon the subject of tarlir reform and we seriously doubt the expediency of such a course is te simply realllrm the action of the Chicago convention. That will be quite enough, if net tee much. We, who are enthusiastic tariff reformers, want the tight made In the congressional districts where the poeplo have an epjxirtunlty te express their desires upon- thts all-absorbing and distracting element In our elitlcs. The delegatcs, and a very few delegates, usually construct platforms at state conventions and glve expression te principles, sometimes wlse and sometimes misguided. The poeplo of Pennsylvania have rend the agitation of tarill in the public, priuts and are prepared te act intelligently updu the subject If they are given an opportunity. If It Is te be made a mill stone te hang around the nominee of the Harrisburg convention, tlie people will be disappointed and disgruntled, and Instead of the victory which new daw us mere ausplc leusly upon the Democratic bauner since the Republican nominations will be turned Inte defeat, overwhelming and disgraceful te the Democracy as that which Maughtered the Cleveland electoral ticket and snowed It under with bO.OOO majority. Uive the peeple, therelere, Iu their respective congressional districts, n chance te take iu their own hands the question of the continuance et the present system of unequal and unwise protection or the securing et tarill reform, by electing such representatives as will reflect the voters' senti ments en the iloer of the Heuse, and we will net only have a strong Pennsylvania delega tion el taritV reformers in the next Congress but we will bring out such a vete In the state as will be surprising and elect our state nominees. The ltepulicans have blundored en the tarltt In their recent convention, by advocat ing a contlnuance or high protection, and they have also seriously blundered by their refusal te declare rorauli-dlscrlminatien.

Loniien, July 12. Tlie Duke or Argyll has written a letter te the Wines regarding America and Ireland In which he says that desplte the oxlstence of great national sympa thies, the most profound Ignerance prevails both In Kngland and America concerning each ether's constitution. He admits his own ignerance in thlt direction at the liegln Ing of the American war In sympathizing wiiu tne south. The duke thinks that the warm sympathy of America for Ireland arises from the error of thinking of Ireland as belng tn the same rolatlve position as an American state and holding te the opinion that Kng land withholds similar powers te theso Which the states pessess. Nothing, he says, could be mere erronoeus. Keferring te the right of the American slates te thelr due sbare in the powers of Congress and the checks en their own government which each allows, the Duke says that Mr. Gladstone's proposal violates both or tliese grand principles and Is noth ing less than a corrupt and'iuimeral bargain which banishes Ireland from the Imperial ceurtand surrenders the minority entirely into the hands of a local majority. Ameri cans will perhaps hardly bolleve It, but It Is strictly true that the pretended limitations and restraints proposed are entirely Illusory. He appeals te Americans te clearly under stand the contention or the Unionists, namely, that It Is for Ireland's sake that thelr opposition is given te Mr. Clladstoue's scheme mteit of the Brltlah Klectlena.
