Candidate Wolfe talk largely of the vote he ex)-ti'ts to jxill. He claims that lie will receive the sujijMirt of (itltKiU I'ni kibitionists; that he will have a large following of the former Indejicndcuta, and that the vote of the colored jreople can easily be dcn-nd-.d ou. If Mr. Wolfe knows when-of he allirtim, a lively campaign is Ix-fore us. Both the Commissioner and Assistant Coiuiiiissionor of Indian Afiairs are al ent from Washington, and a woman Miss Minnie S. Cook is running the of fice. As another young woman is run ning the I'residcntial otlii-e just now, it begins to look as if this great nation was being Ribjectid to "petticoat rule." The National iHMiiocratic Congressional Campaign Committee has issul a hand book for the use of the faithful, crammed full of stuff committing the IVuiocratic party to free trade, pure and simple. This is unquestionably the position of the party, but in tariff States like Pennsylva nia it puts the Imivk who are trying to court the laltor vote in a very liad hole, and "cuss" words fill the air. The liquor dealers in this State have formed a League and pn pose to raise a fund of flMU."0. w ith which to defeat Legislative candidates who favor submit ting the pr hibiUiry question to a vote of the jople. Tli us the Liquor Leagiieand the Prohibit ionists meet on a common platform, for the common purpose of de ieating prohibition. The IVtuocr&tio revolt against Uie methods used to Dominate Chauneey K. Black for nvemir still goes on. Seimtor Wallaj-e openly attributes his defeat.to a bargain with ClavelamL and the Harris- burg Patruit has joined the malcontent, tells the "tuike.1 truth," and asserts that Wallace waslx-aten and Black nominated in pursuance of orders from Washington, executed by Kandall. With the bitter hostility to corpora tion w hich Chaunory F. Illack inherited from Lis distinguished father, he also imbilied his hostility to protection and devotion to the doctrine of free trade. And yet Mr. Ran. lull had a carefully de viei pnU"ction platform ereted, which Lin candidate stands upon, and professea to heartily admire and endorse. It ia very evident that aormloey is to lie cheaUsl. A Free trade iH'mofrat on a tariff platform is ample proof that 'fraud ia con teui plated. Let the Ultoriiuj men of tbe State beware the free-trade trap that is baited with protection. Ma. Buie is nwving a right royal welcome wherever he suks in Maine. His sipulurity at home is undiminislieL and thousands of people turn out at ererj-HM-eting to listen to his exposition of party doctriues. There is robablv no other man in the country w ho could draw such crowds to near him, and none ho is so lucid in his statement. SwiurrAKV Bayako is in ill luck again. Sedgewick, the special envoy ahom he dispatched ta Meiico to investigate the arrest, trial and conviction of editor Cut ting, no sooner arrived at the City of Mexico than he proceeded to get roaring drank and Ktartod out with a party of young roystcrers to jwint the -apita! of the Montexumas rtL It will now lie t order for the St-retary to send anothe envov to take care of F.nvoy Selg' ic and bring him bouse. Ix Tenneswee the IVinocratio State Convention adoj. ted a n-sulut ion 'favoring the submission of the liquor question to a vote of the people. In Pennsylvania tlie I Miiocratic Suite Convention di lar e.1 against all "sumi!u!iry laas." And vet we constant Iv hear the Imast that the DemiMTacv is Jeirersonian and rock-rilt- bel in irinriple, united and homogenioua in cause, the same yestcrilay, to-day, and forever. This time four years ago the Kcpubii- cansof this State were divided in support of two candidal for tioveraor, and the Indeja-ndent candidate wasuplorted by more than a score of newspapers. Tie lav the iartv is united. on one candidate who has the support of even Republican per in the State. n tlie other hand. lack's nomination has caused almost as much disaffection in his own arty as followed tieneral Beaver's nomina tion in lssi, and if like effects follow like au.e, he w ill lie beaten out of sight. The President having taken to the wsds. swsrms of Federal ottice holders were "present and active" at the Ienio- cratic Conventions of this and other Stat-, notwithstanding his nivnt orders to them alsmt "pernicious ai-tivity in polith-s." This exemplifies the old saw, "while the cat's away, the mice will play." We w ill see when Mr. Cleveland returns whether he (hires enforce his own rder, or w hether, as is popularly lieliev- ed, it was only intended to apply to 1U pulili-an otliivholders.

A little question of veracity has crop- d out between some of our eminent k-moeratic friemls. Tlie Philadeliihia :,ntrd, the Harrisbtirg Vulr'u, Senabir Wa.llai-e and others charge that their Convention was dominated and controll ed bv Federal ollice holders and Federal patronage, while Cliauncey F. 1'ilack savs: "Some of the Republican newspatiers driven to their wits' end, and having nothinir else to sav. U-ll their readers that this ticket was made by the Federal of fice holders. They know it is false as well as you Or I do." Shinny on your own side, Mr. Black! It is your own tarty associates, not "some liepublican new simpers," that make the charge. Apparaiitly you "are driven to your wits' ends, having nothing else to nay !" Thk Prohibition State Convention that was in session during Wednesday and Thursday of last week, had a " halcyon and viH'ifemus time." It was composed of tW delegates, representing every coun ty in the State except Flk, each county sending us many delegates as it deemed proper. Wednes-lay was devoted to pre liminary organization, praying, sjieeeh uiaking and singing, and not until Thurs day was the real work of the Convention taken up, when the platform of prin ciples was adopted and tbe ticket placed in nomination. While the enthusiastic brethren were enjoying prayer and song, the old jsiliticians who were running the machine, had been busily employed writ ing up the platform ami arranging the slate, and accordingly when it came down to real wts-k everything ran as smoothly as if it hail laen greaseiL The ticket agreed upon and adopted with much apparent enthusiasm is Hun. diaries S. Wolfe, of Union county, for tiovernor; Hon. A. A. Barker, of Cambria, Lieutenant (iovemor; Hon. John M. Kmory, of Lawrence county, Secretary of Internal A Hairs; Charles L. Ha ley, of Lackawanna county, Auditor ticiieral, and liev. John M. Palmer, (colored i of Allegheny county, Congress-iiian-ut-I-arye. The platform was then adopted with great enthusiasm; a State Central Committee, consisting of one iiiemlier for each county in the Common wealth, was appointed, a purse of $,( 10 for campaign purposes was sultscrilied. and after singing the doxologv this nota ble Convention then adjourneiL to uiect at the i Kills in November next.

Mr. Wolf will get Mime otherwise Demo cratic, but many more other wise Republi can votes. As a rule Democrats are not as silly as Republicans, and it takea a particu larly silly man to hope to cure insobriety by prohibition. Imetutrr Inleiligaxxr Dtm. The Pmhibitiotii.sts opened their conven tion at Harrisliurgh the other day by sing ing "Jesus, Lover of My Soul " and oilier stirring hymns. That' very much unlike the way the ailiticians opened their conven tions : and it reminds us iiiucli of I nmmell't " fighting psalm-singers." They apxr to lie in dead earnest, and there'll be any amount of fun in tbe ilitical arena 'twixt now and tlie ides of Sovemlier. Toerin, Labtt Orpin, W should do everything in our power to aid tlie Prohibitionists in conducting Wolfe's campaign. Tlie reason for such action is tliat Wolfe- raniiiilttz-v m-ill ctmIj m fbreai-h in the BelHiblivan trtv and cause it to take steps to crush out all similar move ments originated by tlie -Prohibitionists in tbe future.

A party sent out by the Geological Survey, under tltc command of Captain CiareiH E. Dutton, 1'. S. A., lias succeeded iu making a complete survey uf Crater Lake, in On-goti, whose shores, with the possible exrejition of one point on lite south, had never before been touched by the feet of white men. The par ty's boats were hauled a hundred miles by mule teams, dragged by a iletail of soldiers up tiie snow-clad siili-s of the riilge which surround tlie lake and lowered by ropes from the crest to tlie water, nine hundred feet below. One hundred and sixty sound ings were maiie, the result of which gave tlie geueral eharneter of the lake bottoin. Two large submerged cinder rones were found, respectively eight hundred and twelve hun dred feet high, the rest of the bottom being flat. Captain Dutton believes this to be the deepest body of fresh water ou the conti nent. The greatest depth obtained by the sounding line was 2.1X15 feet. "As reganls the origin of the basin," he writes to Director Powell, I now have a de cided opinion. It has, I think, iwen formed in much the same way as the great caldi ras of the Hawaiian Islands, by the melting of the fouudations of tlie original mountains and the blowing out of the molten material in the form of light pumice and fine tufa. It cannot have becu formed by an explosion like Krakatoa and Toinls.ro, iu the F.ust In dies, for their is no trace of tiie fragments anywhere in the country roumlaliout. Hut the pumice and tufa, which surely emanated from the crater, are seen in vast quantities anywhere within a radio." uf twenty to sixty" miles, and iu quantities to till the whole vast crater tw ii-e over. The age of the cra ter is wholly sist-glacial. I have found at the extreme crest of the wall on the western side splendid examples of glacial striatum, while the old moraines are half a mile to a mile below. As the age of the laldera can notilie great is evident from the fait that, though the walls are cniiubliug at a very rapid rate, the talus has not only uot reached the water surface anywhere, but the sound ing discloses but little of it at the bottom." Destitution In Texas. CtiiCA.si. 111., August 35. A sxrial from Fort Worth, Texas, gives a graphic ui-coniit of the deplorable condition of the ssiple in the drought-stricken region.
