THE CYCLONE IND IT'S LESSON

On the 21st of August terrific hurricane
passed over the Islands of St. Thomas and ST.
Kits, destroying almost every house, killing
from q hundred to q hundred and fifty of the
inhabitants, and rendering six thousand people
homeless and destitute. During the time that
the storm occupied in passing over these islands,
the wind came from five directions, in the fol-
lowing order: The gale first broke from the
east and soon shifted to northeast; at noon
it was blowing from the north; In the after
noon it came from the northwest; at six
o'clock it swept over the island from the SOUTH
an1 in the evening it had passed. These OBJ
serYations show that this storm, having an in
terror rotary motion, originated In that great
manufactory of hurricanes, the Caribbean Sea,
between the north coast Of South America and
Santo Domingo, and that it was moving in a
north-eastery direction at the time it first
broke upon St. Thomas. This direction was
maintained until between five and six o'clock
In the afternoon. 1t then turned to the north
west, and when last observed at st. Thomas
was moving directly for the coast Of Florida,
distant twelve hundred miles In direct line.
Cyclones are impelled forward by the trade
winds In which they originate. The velocity
OF these winds Ia from fifteen to twenty-five
miles an hour. Supporting this cyclone to move
at the average rate-twenty miles An hour
1t ought to reach the coast Of Florida In sixty
hours after leaving St. Thomas, or, allowing
one hour for difference Of time, at seven o'clock
on the morning of August Gath. At the time
the Weather Bureau report was made ateight
O'Clock a. m, August Gath, the barometer was
rapidly falling at the Florida stations, and the
indications of great atmospheric disturbance
were 30 great that Prof. Able. the meteorolo-

The Public Debt Statement for the 1st of
September shows a reduction of the National
Debt during the past month Of $9,9Oo,979 go,
or at the fate of over 800, 100000 per annum.
Since the 1st of March, 1859, bonds have been
purchased and cancelled by the Treasury De-

net cost estimated in gold of $2o4,67S,O6e. Let
us continue this regular and systematic reduc-
ton of the national Indebtedness, and we shall
find no difficulty in funding the principal of
the Debt at four per cent in very few years,
thus largely reducing interest and the burden

AS might have been expected, the inquiry
into the Revere disaster shows that the man
agement of the Eastern Railroad is parsimoni-
GUS even to meanness. When the train which
was subsequently wrecked left Boston on that
fatal night, it was crowded with people who
were standing up in the aisles; it was
late, owing to difficulty in making
up the train; it was run by guess-work
over crowded track. The collision
was to be expected not because the
cars were crowded, but because the track was.
1t is wonderful that more of such accidents
have not happened on road which is run
with such excessive frugality. And this at
tempt to save money has resulted in great loss
of life as well as in destruction of the Com
pany sproperty. There will be no difficulty in
fixing the blame in this case.

dist, announced the probable existence OF o
Cyclone to the east of Florida. In o short time
1t reached the coast, and carried such destruc-
ton with 1t that the telegaphic lines were
down when the time came to make the next
report, and no news was received from the
Florida stations. It's course after it struck the
land is we'll known to those who have studied
the Weather Reports of the past ten days.
These facts are full Of important sugges-
tions as to the future possibilities Of the
Weather Bureau. Had the United States been
connected by telegraph with st. Thomas and
other West India islands, and had there been
observer stations at various points from Flor
ida to st. Thomas Qboth of which will be ac-
complished facts within the next FIVE years.,
the approach of this terrible cyclone might
have been announced along our coast and In
every port on our eastern seaboard sirty hours
before its arrival. This knowledge might not
have enabled merchants, planters, and railroad
men to save their property from injury, though
q timely warning would have caused them to
prepare for the storm, and their loss would
have been much less than it now is. We can
as yet make no estimate OF the damage to
shipping along the coast of Florida by the
hurricane, but that it must have been immense
is evident from the fact that the Collector of
the Port of Jacksonville has telegraphed to the
Secretary of the Treasury at Washington for
permission to feed the destitute, shipwrecked
sailors who have arrived in that port in great
numbers, and furnish them with transportation
to Savannah How many of them may not
have been within the reach of warning signals
could they have been given during the sixty
hours that the cyclone was moving from St.
Thomas to the coast of Florida

"OUESnONS OF TIE DAY"

DR.. William Elder has written and Henry
Carey Baird Of Philadelphia has published
compact volume of 367 pages entitled as above.
1t discusses Political Economy in that larger
sense which includes Social, dealing with
Wealth and its production, Population,
Wages, Money, Banks, Commerce, lnterna-
tional Exchanges, Free Trade and Proteo-
ton, Objections to the Protective Policy,
Protection in History, Guarantyism. Secret
Societies, and Cooperation under its va
rious aspects. While we do not in dorse
every proposition of DR.. Elder, we regard this
as one of the most useful, suggestive and
well-considered works that has yet discussed
the momentous issues involved in the relations
of Capital to Labor and Taxation to Industry
1t bristes with important facts ignored by j. Is.
McCulloch and spurned by Baptist-Say, yet OF
which knowledge Is essential to the just and
full comprehension of Economic Science.
We advise those who purpose to engage IN
the next Presidential canvass to make them
selves familiar with the contents of DR.. Elders
work. We defy the most conceited Free
Trader to study it thoughtfully and not feel
whether he does or does not admiD that there
are grave truths in Political Economy which
Stuart Mill never apprehended and facts essential
to a competent knowledge Of that science which
Prof Perry seems incapable of digesting and
assimilating. And we do heartily wish those
who from time to time ask us to solve
for them some of the simplest problems in
volved in this science would buy and read DR..
Elders book (prce $3), and only call on us
for solutions which that book does not con-
tain. If they win also read POLITICAL
Economy by Horace Greeley" (price SID,
we shall be obliged to them; but we only
insist on their making themselves acquainted
with what DR.. Elder has well said, and then,
if they are still beset with difficulties and per-
plexites, we will add such light as we shall
be enabled to throw upon the subject.

THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.

Present indications are not well calculated
to cheer with hope the heart of the observant
Democrat. There may not be very active
political heat anywhere, but certainly the
most deadly-lively scene just now within
range Is q Democratic canvass in any one of
the States where contest is going on. There
is something ghastly in the semblance of life
which the Democracy puts on in the field this
year; it is as though man who Is really in
moribund condition should insist upon getting
out of bed and dancing jig; it is septua-
genarian flirting with his chambermaid, with
one foot in his grave The fun LIS desperate
and the struggle with the inevitable is bitter;
but, for all that, the subject is in the article
of death.
In Ohio, for instance, where the much
Wanted New Departure was first taken, moth
ing hos come Of the trick but disaster and de-
feat. The candidate for Governor met with q
cold reception from his own party when he
first entered the canvass. As he went on with
his absurd single-speech, disappointing the ex-
pectations Of bis friends and disgusting the
people who were drawn to hear him, it became
evident that his nomination was failure.
He was quietly shelved and Is heard of no
more; whether he is candidate none seem to
know His withdrawal under any pretext is
virtual defeat, and no man can be found
courageous enough to take up the standard he
has laid down. The action Of the Ohio Dem
ocratic Convention in accepting as legal the
Constitutional Amendments which had
been steadily denounced with the latest
breath of the party, was not acceptable to the
old fle-leaders of that organization. And in
the State where the Democracy was to have
commenced q new existence and new career,
the candidate 10 q failure and the platform
an utter wreck. A similar half-hearted sup
port Of the New Departure resolutions has
distracted the Democracy Of Iowa, where
formidable quarrel has only been hushed up
by keeping the sulky ones at home where
they silently nurse their wrath. The same
may be said of California, where such old
horses" as Bolts and Weller utterly
refuse to absorb the new-fangled doctrines
of the latter-day Democracy and abhor
their weak candidate, declaring that
be Is only an ofice-hunter and o
mere Jumping Jack In politics The Wisconsin
Democracy have beon forced, in their wild de-
spair to put forward a. their exponent and
banner bearer the forlorn figure of James r.
Doolittle. This man, who but few years
ago was Republican, is now representative

In the absence of any State Democratic
Convention in Arkansas, the New Departure"
dogma has been Endorsed by "a large gather
cling of Democrats" near Little Rock. The
vagueness of the number of Democrats re-
ferred TO- and the uncertainty of their promi-
nence in the party, make the whole proceed
ing simply inconsequent and farcical. The
Arkansas Democracy are just as much divided
IA their brethren in Virginia.
