The senate journal of 1877 contains a garbled and condensed report of the testimony prepared, happen toknow, under the supervision of Chureh Howe. But even this doctored report will havdly justify the d tion that there was not ashadow of testimony to sustun the char, Ihe following tract from the journal, pages 530 the fic to Church Howe's vindicators Mr. 1. C. Lettrecalled. Q. By Esterbrook : Did yon participate in your county in the sanvass at the lastelection? A. Tmade a few speeches, Q. Were you and Howe opposing parties? A. Yes,sir. Lamademocrat and he is a “middleman.” The question of his partici- ion in the senatorial contest two yearsago arise to some extent. Q. Did you make the charge that lowe ive henefits from Patrick on account of his action in the contest for Senator Question is objected to, and the chair Cushing, 1557, %92, ote At lengtn Lett is allowed to continue. A. Itwas some time in May, after the sen- atorial contest: 1 was in Chicago and met as we ads Patrick and Dr, Miller at the depot and came to Red Oak, Ia., on she cars with them; this talk took place about the late senatorial contest: Patrick asked me where lis mutual friend,Church Howe,was now : I said at hom Patrick said he was a “cuss:” 1said, Yes, he was lively; T then said that Howe was a “guerills he seemed to manifest some feeling over it and against Howe asked him what was the trouble between him and Howe; he answered, “I would have been thousands of dollars better off if I had never seen Howe:” [ was inquisitive, and he went on to say that he had spent ten or twelve thousand dollars during the senatorial con- test: I said t 1 did not see how he could spend so mueh; he said, “in various way Howe got seve thousand dollars of our money and promised to do many things ti hedid not and could not do;” 1 asked, ‘‘Howe never paid the money back?’ *Not and that is the subject of the con- part of the record on which Howe claims have been vindieated. The blot upon his record as a repubiican i however, indelible. The record shows that Church Howe voted for J. N.I. Patrick for United States senator on every ballot, and only changed over after Paadock had been elected, It is a notor- 1ous fact, whteh was ablished during the investigation in spite of the packed committee’s effort to.smother it, that Church Howe had entered into a corrupt conspiracy to buy a seat in the senate for Patrick with money. Ten thousand dol- lars were put into the pool to capture the Richardson county delegate all of them being republicans. That money was refundod, but the sum of 3,000 which found its way into Church Howe's overcoat pocket failed to mater- inlize after the boodle campaign col- lapsed. When the charge was broadly made in 1877, the senate was composed largely of Church Howe's boodl cluding Howe himself. The president of the senate was one of the He packed the committee for Howe by ap- pointing Isaac Powers, a railroad rings- ter, as chairman, with Ed Carns, Georgo H. Thummel and Jim North, all of whom sto od 1 with Howe. A.N. Ferguson was the only unbiased man on the committee, and he made a loud protest uinst the course of the ma jority in closing the doors of the investi gating room just when the important witnesses were to be brought in. The journals of the senate show that the whitewash report was adopted. They fuil to show who voted for it. We re member very distinetly that the report was rushed throngh without reading the testimony, and in the absence of many senators in attendance on commit- tee work. With an evident desire to de- ceive and mislead its aders, the Republican parades the names of all the senators, heuded by Van Wyck, as voting to vindieate that “‘middleman,” “‘cuss," and “‘guerrilla,” Church Howe. There is no doubt that Powers, Thummel, Colby, Bryant, Gilbam, Tom Kennard, Jim North, Pepoon and Wileox, and sev :ral more of the boodle gung and rail- road tools, voted to adopt the whit sh report. But we don't believe that Charles W. Brown, George W. Ambrose, P, W. Birkhauser, Calkins, Ferguson ficld, Knapp, Walton or Van W ever voted to exonerate Howe, So much for the record. But why did Chureh Howe fail to vindicate himself from the bribery ch through the rts? When Webster Eaton charged Church Howe with receiving §3,000 for his vote for Patrick for United States senator, Chureh Howe threatened a libel suit on dared him to come into court, and when the brazen guerilla pretended that he would not sue a bun rupt Eaton had himself indicted for criminal libel in order to force Howe to trial and give him a chance to vindicate his ¢ .

It was very easy for Church Howe to as clamor: vindicate his character throngh his chums and co-parcenors in raseality, but he dured not visk a trial in open court We have given hiw another chance. Th BEE publishing company is not only sol vent but able to pay a handsome judg: ment. Let Church Howe come into court and vindicate himself by a libel suit. We promise him inadvance to go to trial promptly. We will even expe- dite the case by tuking depositions at once. The witnesses witl not eriminate themselves now—as they would have done In 1877—by telling what they know. | The statate of limitations has barred any prosecution of partics who were more or less involved in the boodle campaign —_— The Seismic Disturbances, The carthquake shocks which visited a wide region of the United States on Tues day night, with varying degrees of inten sity, and occurring within a few minutes or seconds of cach other at points sepa rated by hundreds of miles, constituted the most important and alarming exhibi tion of scismic energy and phenomena that is of record as havi ver before oc curred in this country re have been similar convulsions of the earth, notably those of two years ago, but they were felt inamore limited area, and except in a few localities were not characterized by the degree of encrgy very generally re corded of those of Tuesday night. Ac cording to the dispatches the mostin tense shocks wero need in th experi gion estending from Savannah, Ga., to Raleigh, N.C., and investigation will robably determine that here was the seismic’ center, with its focus about 1 most Charleston, which city has su disastrously from the disturbance. From this conter the carthquake wave took a somewhat erratic course, eoxtend- ing northward to New York, where its undulations were very de- cided, westward to Burlington, lTowa, where there was only a slight shock, and northwestward to Milwaukee, where the disturbance was very marked, A great deal of the arda between these extreme points also felt the effects with greater or less distinciness, or unple, the shocks were quite severe at Cleveland and Detroit, less so at Cineinnati and St. Louis, very distinet at Indianapolis and Louisville, ledly marked at Chieago, and violent at Memphis and “Nashville, At some of these points more than one shock was felt, and the duration of the locks varied from a few scconds to seve eral minutes. Altogether the affected covers thousands of miles, embracing a greater extent of territory than was ever before reached by seismie disturbances, It is noteworthy, also, as, indicatin the tremendous energy of this earthquake deei ‘wave, that there is a difference of only a few minutes in the time av which shocks were felt at points most remote from each other. The best authorities assume, regarding the veloe ity of earthquake waves, that they moye at an average of twenty-three to thirty- nglish miles in o minute. Plac eismic centre 1 South Carolt and calling the distance by direet line Burlington, Towa, a thousand miles, a wave moving thirty-two miles a minute would consume thirty-one minutes be- tween Columbia and Burlington. Ac- cording to the dispatches the shock at the former city was felt at 9:48 o'clock, and at the latte 9 o'clock, so that, with the geographieal difference in time, the wave vibration oceupied only twelye minutes between these points. Other time shows differences less or eater than this, but in every the evidence is that the veloeity of Tuesdu mght's wave was very much greater t the average assumed by the authoritic In another important vespect, also, phenomena presented by this occurre will require some revision of theol 14 report case the ismologists carthquake waves consi the most rt of longitudinal vibra- nd g0 distinguished an authority Rudler expresses a doubt “whether the seismologist need conces himself with any but longitudinal vibry tions.” It is very evident, however, from the course of this lastwave that there are also tr al vibrations, and that m- ators eannot neglect to eonsider xisting with longitudinal vibrations, without the danger of render- ing their imauiries defectiv ‘e que stion that everybody will ask arding this occurrence, what is the ause or origin of the carthauake shock ? cannot be satistactorily answered. Al- though earthquakes have happened :n all ages and in nearly every land, many times with most terrible consequences, it is only within the last half century that the phenomena have been subjected to exact investigation. A great deal has been written on the subject. large made up of theories, but httle is really known to the origin of these subterrane urbances, which come unhe alded, against whieh no precautions possible, and in the pr of which the bravest are awed.

EFrom the seismic cen- tre waves are propagated in all directions through the solid materiuls of the carth's crust,” The widespread disturbance of Tuesday night, which will become mem- orable for the death and destruction wronght at Charleston —a city that seems to be fated to periodical disaster—may contribute valuable knowledge to the lit- for tions. as Professor sence tle that is now known regarding the origin of earthq 5, and it secms Lo present phenomena that must invite the most careful investigation of seismolo- gists. » fact it appears to establish beyond a doubt, and that is that the United States possesses a very extended earthquake area, Froym a scientilic point of view, at least, interest in the seismic disturbances in the United States will be increased by the civeumstance that they were preceded only three days by eavthquakes in Gre Italy and Egypt That 1w Gry the most seri ous, resulting in the los severa ]l hundred live coun did little damage.
