When the hio Pemocrat scan the re turns from Kent in ky they will fifl like kicking themselves for " following suit " on the Tariffii'iestion. Wiif.ke, oh where, is WatUinon, and that fiO,(Kl m-niocnitie majority wliich Kentucky wan to lay a thank offering on the altar of Free-trade ? An the Allcntown Convention draws near the wobbling in the iH-raocnitic rankHinctvaws. Will it be the friends of Kandall or of Cleveland that will rule the rootit ?

This is not consid ered a wry lare mini to lose now -allays, hut 'tw ill answer all present needs and bring the market hark to nonnal prices. The faith that removes mountains, was not lacking in the Prohibition ranks, hen it was resolved to tackle the IVm ocralic majority in Texas. But while faith ls?lieven in all things, and hopes for all thiups it doesn't always come out on top. A witiiesa the "wet" majority ranging from 7.",KRi to lOO.lXM, in Texas at the election of last week. Tukke is discord in the Administration camp. Kugene Hirins and (ioorge. Wil liam Curtis an' at li wrheads as to the binding cliicacy, and true intent and meaning of the civil service rules, and the President fears that he may lie called up on to 'decide w hich is the bigger man of the two. Since the Maryland primaries I! logins is apparentiy a lap or tw o ahead. The Curt that it requires the otlicial count to decide w h ich party h:is won in Kentucky, has alisolutely dazed the le-iiKs-racy of the country. Explanation are as plenty a black Ix-rrries, but in their multiplicity they are contradictory and don't explain. This time la.it week a ma jority of .Vi,H(iO was claimed, now, one half that amount w ill be joyfully accept ed. Alas poor Yorrick ! Now that l'.luine and Sherman are en tered for the Presidential race "dark horses " are Is-ing vigorously trotted out. Phil Sheridan, Judge ireshain, Allison, Harrison, Hawley, Lincoln and halfa score of others are rolled trippingly off the tongues of their respective admirers, who assure a confiding public that either one of them, is a host w ithin himself, and would unite and call out the full 1 Re publican Vi'tji. Prohibition is defeated by from (10,0(10 to lHO,tIO in Texas. The vote was very full and the contest between liipior ami cold water was the hottest ever know n in the State. There were 211 publicly ad vertised masn meeting held in different parts of the State on the day liefore the election by the friends ami opponent of Prohibition. Senator-elect IJegan led the fight for Prohibition and Isith political parties seem to have divided alxmt alike on the issue. The immense sjieoulat ion in coffee, and the attempted corner in w heat has been followed by the tobacco men, who on the allegation of a " short crop " have run up prioes out of all reason. The Com missioner of agriculture gives notice that tobacco is a fair aTcrage crop, but the KHculatora insist otherwise, and have manipulated the market to the advan tage of their own pockets. Then- never was a ti tne w hen mean tobacco and vile cigars were sold for such high prices. The uuaninous endorsement of John Sherman by : he State Convention of Uiio Known the perfect drill and the earnest determination of the party in that state. The Ohio Republicans are getting into line for the struggle of lsvss and have placed their great leader well to the front. Those who indulge the idea that Repub lican will go into next years campaign with a divided host, had better cast their fyes over he pniceedings "of the Ohio convention and disabuse their minis of this delusion. Thkue is not a particle of doubt that Mr. Cleveland w ill lie the next lemocrat ic nominee for President- All the nomi nating convention will luve to do will be to confirm the ticket settled on at Wash ington. But, for the Vice Presidency, there is an embarrassment of riches in the cabinet, Black and Vilas an? Isitli in tent iiHin capturing the prize, and the President may be forced intothe harrow ing predicament of choosing lietween friends. Here is an opportunity for Wig gins to relieve his Chief, and at the same time add to his fame. Governor FouAKEKof ( mio has written a cordial letter to Mr. Cleveland inviting him to aoivpt of tue hospitalities of the .state when on hi Western trip, and the uoall fry l Vmocratio politicians are shout ing derisively that the Governor is hedg ing uii his former letter denouncing the Irvsi.leut's flag surrender order. The numbskulls can't distinguish between a mauly and tin ible dissent from an ille gal act, and an otlicial, but graceful cour tesy. All politician are not so coarse and truculent, as these critics of the Ohio diuvemor evidently assume them to be. Tub explicit declaration of the Ohio Ireuioeracy against Protection, was met last week by the Maryland IVmocratM Willi a revolution favoring protection, and demand favoring the rejeal of the Na tional revenue taxes wag chucked in the teelii of the Ohio brethren w ho denounc ed any taniiering with the tax on w his ker. There is going to be some trouble ia getting up a platform tliat w ill straddle between these divided views, so that it can be made to Mean protection for the Protectionists, and Fn-e trade fr the Free traders. Such a platform will be noth ing new, but after such public declara tions the task of framing it will be slightly difficult. It is said that, follow ing the example of their brethren in Ohio, the Republi cans of Iowa w ill come to the front in the next National Convention with their senior rtenator Hon. William B. Allison as a fit candidate for the Presidential nomination. The Iowa Republicans deem their favorite son, entirely too big a man to await the chance of lieing made residuary legatee of any otlier candidate, and will therefore push their banner into the front rank. There is going to lie no lack of candidates and gissl ones too, in the National Convention in lsS. The Democratic family fight, over the Jadgeship, in Fayette county, grows bit terer anil dirtier as it grow older, and there is an evident determination to6ght it out, at the risk of losing the district The charges of corruption do not rest solely npon the statement of Republicans. The " h'ifjritt SliniUir" Searights organ, in its issue of last week din-ctly charges glaring fraud and corruption as the meth ods by which Boyle's nomination was procured, and asserts that IVmocxata are not bound to support a nomination ob tained by such means. Nay, it pies fur ther and names the parties who Jiaid and received money, ami jints out the precincts where fraudulent votes were cast. So open and specific are the charges of bribery and frami, made by the fml tir that we do not see how, if the District Attorney and Grand Jury do their duty, a pneeution under the act of l SSI, pro viding for the punishment of brilicry and fraud at primary elections, is to be avoided. Mr. Boyle cannot afford, to go on the liench with such charges hanging over him, nor can the decent citizens of the district submit to his doing so and retain their self esteem. Is May last the llemocrats of Kentucky, in State Convention assembled, determin ed to take the lead, and set the pace for tlte National races in 1SSS. Accordingly they endorsed the President in the most fulsome and gushing manner, denounced "the present war tariff," and declared in favor of taxes " limited to the n-uire-ments of the Government economically administered " and nominated as their candidate for Governor, ieneral Buck ner, the gentleman w ho w as compelled to surrender Fort Donelson. They opened the campaign with a hurrah ! claimed fifty thousand of a majority, and kept it up to the end. So thorough a canvas? of the State w as never before made. Black burn, Bvk, Carlisle and other leaders were called upon to take the stump, the whisky ring threw its thousands into the IVmocratie campaign treasury, the fires of ox-roasts and barbecues blazed throughout the State,and voters were en treated to rally for the honor of the De mocracy, and for Cleveland and reform. The result of this unparalleled effort is not yet know n, although a full week has elapsed since tiie election, but instead of the .V),(KiO majority so jiersistently claim ed, the heart sick IViiimwy would now gladly compromise on much less than one half that amount, which is virtual defeat. Ketitiw'ky has not given so meagre a ma jority ft r many years. Four years ago tW majority of Pnx tor Knott for ver nor was 44.4:"4. Thn-e years ago Mr. Cleveland carried the State against Blaine on a largely increased vote over that of lvsl, by a majority of 34,S:i0, and on Mon day of last week ttcneral Buckner receiv ed a majority of less than 20.(KKi, and probably less than 15,000, and that too, hacked as lie was with all the hoped for prestige to be acquired for the State by leading off in the Presidential canvass, and measurably dictating the party's coining platform on the questions of tar iff and taxation. Mr. Cleveland may well take pause for thought, as he cons over the figures of this election, and Lakes a ret rospe live giant. During the past four years there has been a steady, telling reduction of the majority in this Demo cratic stronghold. Forty-five, thirty-five, less than twenty thousand majority, tells an unmistakable tide. Kentucky is cut loose from her moorings anil is steadily drifting into the Ilepublican harbor. The teachings of Henry Clay though ap jiarently dead, have taken deep root, and are again fructifying. The redemption of the Snith is coming, and it is coming through the power of the demand for the American doctrine of " Protection to home industry." Speaker Carlisle of Kentucky and the Louisville CrT Jinmitil are the most conspicuous repre sentatives in the country of the Fnx Trade idea Behold where thev lie ! Ohio and Kentucky. I'luludflpbi Times. Ohio hist elected a Democratic Ot.vernor iu IsjvJ. chiefly on the issue of protection to industry. It was done just on the heels of the passage of the new tariff that reduced the duty on wool, and the wool counties broke almost solidly against the Republicans. Now the iK-miHTats of Ohio, having tried almost everything else, have planted themselves on tbe platform of the Kentucky free traders, and thus assured Foraker's re Iwtion by 4o. ooiiorso. The party that eveu squints to ward free trade in Ohio only lives to save fu neral cxjieiiscs. Just after Ohio had accepted and proclaim ed tiie Kentucky free trade theory, Ken tucky held uu important State election that called out a full vole, and the majority of the votes iast are against the Peniocrats for the, first time since the war. Buckner squeezes in as (iownior, but it looks as if lii election is only by a plurality. Ohio llemm-racy mviiis to have tumbled into the free trade wmripool just ill time to be iu at the death and die with il. Some sj sties f insanity excite pity, hut the .ulitical insanity that aivcpts free trade ill a nation where industry is sovereign and is the wealth and power of the government, is the utter insanity uin which pity would lie wasted and which must ever Is a stranger to hojie. Virginia for Protection. Washington. August S. Ex -Congressman Jodn Ambler Smith, of Virginia, in conver sation to-night, said : "Mr. Cleveland will cam- the state in convention without much opssition, unless Hill is a candidate, and if that hr tlien a lively fight will take place. But what will (11 against Cleveland when Voting is in order is hi free trade views. Tbe iwople of Virginia are strong in favor of protection, and to a mall all advocate the ab olition of tiie war taxes, that is the internal revenue taxes. The tariff will be a promi nent issue in the caniiaign, and I expect tiie Republicans will liave the best of the tight. It's only a qunstion of time w hen Virginia will Is? a solid Republican wtate, and the tar iff will make il so." Four Persons Killed Near Reading. Uxamso. July 2. A covered wagon was run into by a train ou the Pennsylvania rail- j road at Ridgewood station this morning and j four persons were killed. They were Miss I Amanda F'ritz, aged S2; Hellie Fritz and her ! two children, sited IS months and 3 months.

From a gen tleman just arrived from Hojiknwvilie the follow ing particulan are obtained of the sinking of land in Tri county; Ky, ninrr the earthquake Mntulay night : JoJdrn Pond it a mere bam let, domainiag two set tlement of rwgroes, who eke out a living ly working on several large farms owned by non-rraident. Monday night about 6 o'clock several of them fett the earth tremble, but thoin;h! nulJiiiiK seriooi had oorurwljbeyond a slight tremor, and after passing over it went to bed. About li o'cl.s everybody was awakened by a sharp shock and had barely jumped to their f, when the earth with a shaking dizzy motion suddenly sank a distance of five feet, carrying botnea and terrified darkies with tbem. The scene that cjuued baffles descriptkirf. The negroes Ml on their knees and in fren zied tones " prayed the Lord lo save them." Others began shouting and prnMng the Al mighty, and ever and anon casting an up ward glance to see if charioi of fire were not deending. Adled to this iiilcmwiiiiin was the intense darkness wliich perradMi. the moon being completely obscured by th heavy black ctouib, wliich hung very low and like a pall over the dmed district. Rumblings were heard from the depths be low, which grew louder, and numerous springs, hidilen Sir years, muldenly fsind an owning, and liegan to bubble upward in con stantly-incrcai-inR stnams. The terrified in habitants, not pausing for house bold gtiod or chattels, gathered their offspring hurrid ly and nifhcJ away from the doomed ot, and some of them are still pulling as much distance between them and the sinking land a possible. More courageous ones only fled until they reached safe ground and there waited until daylight, when they ventured back to the scene of the night's terror, and gazed sadly usn the ruin spread before them. Over 25 acres of fine farm land, including one magnificent plantation, owned by 0. Z. Hay ilen, lay from five to six feet below the level of the surrounding country, and con tained about three feet of water from the springs started by the eartli.iiako. A large an-a of corn and toliawo will lie a total lws. Xiwrly all the cabins have been torn loose and are floating alsmt in warious po-ation, while household goisls are mixed up in in extricable confusion.

Deed of a Crazy Man. 'kw Youk, Aug. 4.A crazy Irishman trietl to blow up tiie British ocean steamer Queen, of the National Line, yestenlay after noon.

A serious acci dent occurred this nioniiug at the ruins of the St. Anthony elevator iu the suburbs of the city. The elevator burned J.uly HI, and since the settlement was made with the in surance companies, a large force of men have been employed removing the ilamaged wheat. To-day twelve men were employed shoveling away grain from the south wall of the ele vator, behind which, in the bottom of the bins, was still a great mass of wheat, and. without warning, the wall yielded to out ward pressure, and lite great stone structure fell over Umn the men, crushing them terri bly and mangling them almost beyond rec ognition.

According to official reports there were 10,236 deaths from chole ra in Chili during the period from January to June of this year, and the Government ex pended i ,007,000 in fighting the epidemic Drouth and Fires. ( t'r Li.s. Wis, August 5. Fnless the j prevailing drouth comes to a sjieedy end. tbe indications are that a very considerable por ! lion of Southern Wisconsin will be little more than a black desert before many days. The' present dry spell has eclipsed any thing in I ha recollection of tba proverbial " oldest settler," and brush and prairie fires are reported from a score of dlreetiona. Of ten farmers who were gatliered last night at Postmaster McVey's hotel, at this place, six badhceft engaged for six days infighting back t lie flames front their homesteads, while the familio of the other four had been tak ing turns at sitting up at night in order that the household uiight be aroused in caaa of sudden danger. ,"Tlie condition of tle ground can scarcely be imagined. Every hit of moisture ancf sap has been burnt out of the grass, brush and all kinds of vegatation, and the earth is so dry that even the roots of the stubble in recently mowed fiehls arc burning over hundreds of acres. Sloughs and weedy streams which have never before ceased flowing are dried up and the air is filled with smoke of the burn ing wce!. Scores of wells fed by springs have gone dry, and farmers iu many instan ces are compelled to go miles to the hikes for water for household purposes. Iu many cases the farmers have plowed wide ridges around their homes and hay stacks, in order to prevent the crossing of ihe flames, but even this precaution has in many instances proven futile. Cattle are suffering terribly and the milk supply has beeu redu ced to a minimum. Morning after morning the farmers look anxiously in hope of rain, bnt the sky is cloudless, and the hot blasts of wind sweeping over the burning fields are a perpetual reminder of the Sahara desert. Nothing like the present drouth lias ever been known in this region, and the summer of l(i7 will ass into the history of Southern Wisconsin as the most terrible season it has ever experienced. e A Chastly Ornament.' Washinuton. D. C, August 3. A curious and interesting relic of Indian barbarism was received at the War Department a few days ago. It consisted of a necklace of human fingers. Originally there were eleven fingers, stmng together after the manner of necklaces of bears' claws, but three of them had been lost.
