Thar ware lour wen o the platform, and a big red banner was placed la one comer, leaning against the drop-curtain. G. Wetter, who was chosen for chairman, thanked the audience twice, once la German and once ia English. He also said that the Anarchists had been unfairly criticised, and invited all of the editors of the Buffalo press (none of whom, of course, were present) to step on to the platform and debate the matter. Then the chairman said that It had been proposed to sing the "Marseillaise" before proceeding farther. The speaker of the afternoon, Mr. Gorasch, of Chicago, was Introduced. He said the editors were not anxious to discuss anarchism on equal terms. The editors abused aud hurled ridicule at those who favored a change. He denied that Anarchists were assassins, as charged by the press of Chicago, Cleveland and Buffalo. In Chicago they were uujustly accused of preaching arson, murder, robbery, theft and rape. Here the police were called upon to suppress them. Said Mr. Gorsuch, sarcastically : "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." Applause. Mr Gorsuch spoke of labor's rights and aid: Every nation is trembling -with fear aad anxiety about the new child that is about to be bora.

UNDER AN"AVALANCHE. The Town ef Alta. Utah. Nearly Wiped Out Mr an Avalanche of Snow Hxtren Per en Killed By the Hushing Maaa. Salt Lake, Utah, February 15. The startling news was brought here last eve ning that the town of Alta was nearly wiped out by an avalanche. It has been snowing for a week, aad the snow ia twelve feet deep on atlcvel. It Is still 6torralng hard. Friday night Jsoon after eight o'clock a tremendous volume of now swept down over the Emma mine works, doing no damage there except taking the smoke stack along. Then it struck the town and crushed about throe fourths of it, but fortunately many of the houses were deserted for the winter. The place is built at the foot of converging gulches, and the slides have a fair mark. Tuoker's boarding-house was swept away and his hotel crushed. The Vallcjo works, Including buildings and tramways, were crushed. Two men at thU mine happened to be in the drift and escaped injury. Btlckney & Tucker's and Wallace's .store were Injured slightly. Pope & Simpson's drug store was the only building that entirely escaped. A large portion of the lost were In the boarding house and hotel. Twenty-eight fa all were buried. Twelre were dug out alive this morning. The rest are all undoubtedly dead. Men from City Hocks Mine and Kvcrgrecu formed a digging force to get out the bodies. Three were taken out at last accounts with much difficulty and In a heavy storm and severe cold. Timothy Madden was not dead when brought out, but died soon after. The bodies of Jas. "Watson and Mrs. John Ford were also taken out quite dead. Following is a correct list of those not yet recovered: Andrew S. White, Harney Gllsos, Fred Calllnson, Mattle Hlckey, Charley Volk Chlnaman) Big Jim (Chinaman), Jerry "Reagan, David P. Evans, a child of Mrs. lord's and four children of Ed. Ballou. A rescue party starts from here in the woralng. It Is possible that some of the above may be alive, as on a former occasion some were found alive after bsivlag fceea buried three days.

SINGULAR BUT TRUE.

The IIumlHaUMg 1'tMltlan That Virginia 0(iupl In the United Mate Srnatr. Virginia preamts & siugulu spectacle in the United States Senate. She is the only State without a representative ia that body. Of thirty-eight States in the Union some are represented in the Senate entirely by Republicans; others entirely by Democrats. In some cases a Republican ami a Democrat sit as col leagues. Most of the Southern States are promt oi tneir senators: among them Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, Ken tucky and Missouri, lite bouthorn Senators are Democrats. Most of the Northern States are proud of their Senators, a majority of whom are Republicans. Whether Republicans or Democrats, they were elected by Legislatures chosen bv the people. Hut irsrinia, the home of freemen, the scene of progressive action, the held of lnuusinni ciuerpriw. i iuu c.mtjiuuii hi the rule. Wo look in the fccnatoruu directory anil liiul it is truo, two names under tfie head of Virginia. Rut thev no more represent this State than if they hailed from the uttermost ends of the earth. If questions of importance come before the Senate for discussion Virginia has no voice in that discusSKin. Jt utntters oi viiai interest to tins State require attention in the Senate a friendly Senator from a neighboring State 'has to take up our cause and represent the sentiments of our people. Tho senior Senator credited to Virginia has been drawing his Senatorial pay for four years. His colleague lias been drawing pay for two years, having tour more years to serve. Jiut mo one is known in this Statu as an Outcast a miserable marplot; while the other is known as a braggart and a fraud. "Rut were these men not chosen by your Legislature, and are they not therefore lepreseutingthe popular party in their State?" some one asks. Everybody familiar with the history of olitics in Virginia will quickly answer in tho negative, so far as relates to the latter clause of the question. Mahonc, by demagogy and fraud, foisted himself upon the public. Ry making a jwlitical issue of the State debt this unscrupulous renegade succeeded in drawing to ids standard some well-meaning people; and along with a handful of respectable people he carried the ignorant and the viciou. This mongrel party triumphed in several elections, and Mahone was sent to the Senate by his own Legislature. Rut that Legislature did not represent the people of Virginia, and had there been "a free ballot aud fair count1' the result would have been different. The same party, holding power by the petty Ross' trickery, two years latter sent the Ross' henchman to the Senate as tho colleague of Virginia's arch enemy. A year after the second outrage freemen arose in their might and overthrew Mahone. In 18S3 fraud and intimidation were made impossible, aud never did a would-be dictator receive a more crushing defeat A ring of plunderers gave place to tho Democratic party, and one by one the evils fastened on the Commonwealth by the renegade leader were uprooted. One of the first acts of the people's Legislature was the adoption of a joint resolution calling upon Mahone to resign his seat in tho benate, but the thick-skinned usurper paid no heed to the sentiment of this representative body. The resolution had the effect, however, of branding the se nior Senator from Virginia as an out cast, and an outcast he will ever remain. The desire of this man was to ruin Virginia. He thought that bv putting his diabolical scheme into tho hands of Senator Sherman he would succeed. A street-fight iu Danville was magnified into a political massacre and no fcoutu hater in the bitterest days of reconstruc tion, waved thu bloody shirt more vigorously than this renegade, Mahone. Itichmond (Va.) State. THEMSELVES AGAIN. The Alleged Lore of the RrpHbllcan Tarty far the Irlnh Shown to Have Been a Hhaat and a Fraud. One of the notable features of the late campaign to which the Courier-Journal frequently called attention was the com plete and sudden change of front of tho leading RIalac organs with reference to the Irish. Without exception, these papers had, up to the opening of the campaign, never lost an opportunity' to show their sympathy with England and to heap ridicule and insult upon tho Irish, and especially upon Irish-Americans. Rut upon the nomination of Rlaine, when it was thought that votes could be won for him from the Irish-Demo crats, the tone of these papers suddenly changed. Ihe ridicule and villilication which thev had hitherto poured upon Irishmen they transferred to the P.n elish. and Irish-Americans at once be came in tlioir eyes as worthy and patri otic citizens as before they had been in cendiary and whisky-soaked hoodlums. O'Donovan Hossa, who takes pride in posing as the leader of tho dynamiters in America, was courted and won for a season to become a co-leader in their cause, while Patrick Ford became t hero among them for his labors in be half of Riaiiie. Perhaps this mean and transparent hypocracy would have been continued if it had resulted in the salvation of Rlaine; but with his defeat the Republicans' temporary admiration for tho Irish ceased. They no longer endeay ored to keep up the sham, but gradu allv resumed their true colors, and to day the most bitter, violent and sweeping denunciations of the Irish peoplo oa account of the London dynamite outrages are from these identical Rlaine organs, whwa mv replaced tneir hob

eyed words with their old-time aud raiittansHied hostility and scorn. The very men, Rossa ami Ford, whom they so courted and truckled to a few weeks ago, are now held up and chastised as the representatives of thu Irish, ami through thorn the people of Ireland, both in tho old country and in this, are t induced aud blackguarded with all thu bigotry and fury of fanatics. They refused to 'make any allowance for the fact that the great mass of tho Irish people who really have the cause of their country at lieart deprecate as much as the humane everywhere those acts of irresponsible cranks, and disapprove and condemn as since rely the mouthiugs of such notoriety seekers as Rossnand his associates. They persist in this wicked course of misrepresentation in order

to make the opportunity for venting their malignancy against Ireland, its teople and their cause, and thus gratify the spirit of contempt, resentment and malevolence which they entertain for Irish-Amerieaus. The course of these journals within the last twelve jnonths with reference to this element of American eiti.eus is, in truth, a huniiliatiujr and disgusting spectacle to all who admire manliness, sincerity and consistency in friend or be. Louisville Couricr-JourHttl. WHAT WE HAVE ESCAPED. Some of the Evlla We Have Avoided by Mr. Cleveland's lilcctlon. The supporters of James G. Rlainn were fond of emphasising thu "Americau policy" of their standard-bearer and of picturing his brilliant prospective Administration. A man of great experience in public affairsa diplomat by nature and by training, a man of indomitable spirit Mr. Rlaine, in the opinion of his friends, would bring luster to the uovernment ami leave a name more enduring than bras or marble. Mr. Cleveland, on thu other hand, being a man of limited experience in statecraft must necessarily make a failure accordiug to Republican opiniou. Acquainted with few public men he would be at a loss in selecting a Cabinet, and being elected by a party that had been ourot power lor a quarter of a century, he would have to yield to the clamor for oflico anil devote ins time to turning out tho "ins" and rewarding the "outs" who had done valuable work in the campaign. Hut a more important issue still, ac cording te Republican opinion, was that of the tariff. Mr. Rlaino's election would mean a triumph of the Pennsylvania idea. A high tariff would "be maintained and industrial enterpiu would flourish as it had never flourished liefore. Tho mills and furnaces would resume operations, coal and iron ore would 1)0 in demand and wages would be higher than they bad been for several years. Mr. Cleveland's election, on tlio other hand, would mean revenue reform, and values would drop accord ingly. Ihe mills that had been idle so long would remain idle. Business that haifbeen so depressed under Repub lican rule would remain depressed, workingmca would starve, and desolation would very soon visit our rich and happy land. 1'heso were tho dark linns in winch liiame and nts co-workers drew the picture of a Democratic Administration. Fortunatclv, tho business men of the country took a different view of the Democracy. They saw that monopoly would fatten under Blaine's administration, while honest, industry would languish, i hey saw tnat the scotm of our great resources would become nar- ? . i 1 rrt rower, insieau oi oroauer. x nuy saw that hard times would continue so long as demagog)' and corruption retained its power. ' All honest men, whether they had studied public economy or not, knew that a man of Mr. Cleveland's tried ability in cxecutivo affairs and of his severe integrity would make a safer x rcsmcni man a man iiku .ur. dihuic, whoso record was blemished by many questionable transactions, ami whose counsellors and daily associations were millionaire jobbers and bitter partisans. And the right-thinking men being in tho majority, Blaine was defeated and Cleveland elected. Had Mr. Rlaine been elected his American policy would have been n sectional policy American for his sectional friends and anti-American for the South whoso people he hated. Lon before this he would have selected his Cabinet. Jay Gould, or his representative, would have held the Treasury portfolio; Elkins would have taken the portfolio of the Interior; Roach's representative would have had the Navy; Star-llouto Dorsey's representative would have had the Post-otuce Department, and some Southern renegadesome Southern South-hater would have been selected for ono of tho two remaining Cabinet oflices. The South would have had four years of sectionalism and centralism to contend against; the freemen of the country would have labored against tremendous odds. Rut to-day, under the healthful stimulus of Democratic success, we sec business improving, prices advancing, and a great outlook forSouthcrn enterprise. Better still, wo find sectionalism blotted out, and tho Southern patriot, not seeking office, but rejoicing in the fact that ho can look upon the Government as a Government for the whole peoplo and not for a minority. Truly are all Mr. Rlaino's predictions dashed to the ground. Mr. Cleveland is now accepted by all unprejudiced men, regardless of party, as a statesman, fearless but conservative, and as he rises in popular esteem so does Mr. Blaine become smaller and smaller. Mr. Blaine may attempt again to force himself upoa the country, but he is to all practical purposes as dead as Ma- , hone. Watting (en Post.

GRATIFYING.

Tho 8ttgtMttHH That Ar Madn far the (iuldHHOn of tkn jHeemlHK AdMlnatration The amount of advice aud kind suggestions pouring in on all sides for the guidance of the incoming Administration is a gratifying indication of interest aud friendly disposition on thu part of the advisers. There is certainly enough material to choose from, whatever its quantity may be. Every possible method, except, perhajw, tho right one, of "running the Government," abolishing abuses, instituting reforms and creating a revolution Tn the department systems, is to 1ms found in this miscellaneous collection. The venorablu authority at the village post-office aud grocery, aud the sulf-contidont dispenser of legal lore, tho lightning calculator of men aud measures, aud the plodding statistician of half a century of jxdities, all come forward with gratuitous advice and build up very nice theories out of their own favorite materials. They become so enthusiastic iu their j-elf-imposed task that they frequently forget the unsubstantial character of those theories anil refer to them as representing the policy of the incoming Administration. They even, with rare disinterestedness, disclaim being the originators of said theories and endeavor to unload them on some more substantial shoulders than theirs. Indeed in this interesting occupation of building rival castles in the air, they allow themselves to bo worked up to an unpleasant degree of excitement anil indulge in contention and recrimination, each crying out fiercely in defense of his own budget of advice. A large number of gentlemen nil over the country have been proposed for Cabinet positions, many for the same position, and their merits and qualifications have been duly set forth in the most attractive light by their zealous friends and admirers. Newspaper. have been particular prolific of advice to the incoming administration, aud have run thu gamut of reform in their own key with remarkable skill and dilligence. It is claimed that the machinery in manv of the Government departments requires considerable overhauling, that tho gearing is awry, tho wheels rusted or worn out and the boilers unfit to stand tho pressure of reform steam. Our esteemed contemporary, the New York Times, gives a rather 'depressing view of thu situation, referring particularly to our treasury system as thu same that Hamilton set m motion, an old English idea which gave way, years ago, to u better system in Great Britain. The Post-ollice Department, says the Timet, was intended to be a self-sustaining instituUou, and, if the right man is put at the head of it, the etlicicucy of tho postal service can be greatly increased antl it may be made to pay its way. The Interior Department may be run in a dozen diflerent ways from its present course, to the advantage of the country, according to the assertions of this multitude of advisers we have referred to. No ono will deny that the Navy Department will stand'a great deal of salutary cleausing and fumigating, and that tho present system of accounting, which is not a check upon disbursements, but renders frauds of all kinds feasible, might be profitably improved. Amid all tho advice that has poured in, a few golden grains of practical sense and good judgment may be found. Albany Argus. m BUSINESS AND POLITICS. An Unpatriotic, Illoglral and UnrrpHbllcan Allegation. Several organs of the party which was defeated at the polls last November continue to attribute tho prevailing depression in business to tho fact that the majority of tho American people concluded to have a change in the administration of the Government at Washington. Aside from the certainty that this allegation is entirely without reasonable basis it is unpatriotic, illogical and unrepubliean. Popular government everywhere rests on the idea that it is perfectly legitimate .. . I .innniMi tin, nnnhtn in fllincrft their rulers at will. If they are to he denied that privilege lor any reason they have no popular government Thosb organs aro attempting to make the bigoted and ignorant believe that the worst thing that can Happen to a country is to have its affairs controlled by n majority of its citizens. They put it in a little different light, but that is tho substance of their argument.
