The Disastrous Storms in Great Brit
ain.


Special telegrams from London inform US
of the visitation of England and Scotland by
terrible storms Of wind and rain which have
caused enormous damage, with loss Of life by
inundations in England, and equally dis
tressing and fatal shipwrecks on the coast
of Scotland, between Pittenweem and
Peterhead. The storm, or rather cyclone,
which has caused this devastation was
similar in every respect to that which
visited the Texas coast last month, but its
curve Of progress did not bring it as far to
the west as our Atlantic coast. The apex Of
the curve or most westerly point of turning
was located to the southwest of Bermuda, in
the open ocean, and the meteor swept over
that island in its northeasterly course Sew
erval vessels arriving at American ports dur
ing the past ten days report violent hurri-
canes in the mid-Atlantic, so that no doubt
whatever can exist as to the character of the
storm in Great Britain. The country
inundated by the heavy rains is in the
northeastern counties, particularly that Of
Lincolnshire. The river sources are in the
hilly districts of South Yorkshire and Not
tingham, and from this region, favorable for
the sudden accumulation of the waters, the
floods descend and overtop all barriers "
the low level plains to the eastward, convert
ing them into vast lakes of boiling, surging,
wreck-laden waters Such scenes as we
briefly describe are we'll illustrated in the
account Of the fen floods in ''The Mill on
the Floss, the scene being laid in the same
region that is now devastated. The wrecks
on the east coast Of Scotland show that the
cyclone passed diagonally, as it were
through England, with very slow progress
sive motion. The poor fishermen who earn
a livelihood by the herring fisheries are, in
all probability, the heaviest sufferers. The
HERALD has repeatedly insisted on the ne
cessity of establishing perfect system Of
international storm signals, especially be-
tween countries that are exposed to these
cyclonic visitations. The interests Of COM
merce, not to say humanity, imperatively
demand the establishment Of such without
DELAY.

The wrongs of the Red Man.

The long series Of wrongs heaped upon the
aborigines Of America ever since the discov-
cry and settlement Of this country has
nothing more heartless or pathetic than the
story Of the Temecula Indians which we
print this morning. We are accustomed to
speak Of the cruelty and treachery Of the
savage but the avarice and inhumanity of
the white man are even more prominent fea-
lures in American history. In little more
than two centuries the natives have been
driven from the Atlantic to the Rocky
Mountains and tribes as countless rs the
leaves Of the forest reduced to a mere
handful Of half-starved wretches. The brave
is no longer a warrior, but loafng and
treacherous murderer, and the Indian has
no rights anywhere If he refuses to 90
upon a reservation necessity requires that
be shall be exterminated. If he puts him
self under the fostering care Of the Great
Father the Indian Ring is sure to rob him
first and allow him 20 starve afterward. Go
where he will, Civilization" in one form or
another, is sure to follow him and to op-
press him. To this fate the Temecula
Indians are no exception. Indeed, the story
Of their misfortunes is one of the
most pathetic Of the whole series. hun
dred years ago their children swarmed on the
Pacific coast. Now they are reduced to
beggarly five thousand. Then the whole
land was theirs. Now there is not a foot Of
ground they can call their own. Retreating
before advancing civilization, they at last set
tied down among cone of the San Bernardino
Mountains but the white man from over the
seas coveted the spot for sheep pasture, and
the native is not even left room enough to
/ starve without disturbance One Frenchman
and two Scotchmen have ousted the original
lords Of the soil, and their sheep Craze in the
Indians last retreat Is it thus the govern
ment Of the United States takes care Of the
rights Of these poor people-the rightful
wards Of the nationf Is it possible that one
Frenchman and brace Of Scotchmen, either
with or without the consent Of the govern
ment at Washington, are allowed to dispossess
five thousand people, that they may feed their
sheep on the last vestige Of the heritage of
the red man The case as presented in the
letter Of Colonel Peel and transmitted to the
Indian Bureau, is one which not only excites
our sympathies, but demands the Immediate
attention Of the department and the country.

The Foreshadowed Downfall OF Tam
many.

The fact that the city Of New York is op-
posed to the present management Of Tam
many Hall and is prepared to cast majority
OF its votes against John Kelly's organiza-
ton whenever union Of the opposing ele-
ments can be effected, is conclusiyely shown
by the result Of last years local election.
The true democratic vote Of the city was
shown on Governor Tilden, who received
more than forty-two thousand majority over
Governor Dix. But when the citizens came
to vote on the Tammany candidates, they
gave Wickham only eight thousand majority.
the opposition not being united against him.
and they beat Hayes, against whom the OPP
position was united, by eleven thousand
votes. They gave General Jones, the candi-
date Of the united opposition to Tammany
for Register nearly two thousand votes moro
than Wickham, the Tammany candidate, re-
ceived from the Tammany democracy.
Taking the vote for Register Jones as the
basis upon which to calculate the chances OF
the present united opposition against Tam
many, and we find the following encouraging
facts. The vote for Register last year stood
as follows:-
For Jones, united opposition. II lo1
United opposition Tammany. IL 6ii
There was not an element that was against
Tammany last year on Jones that is moi
against Tammany this year on the Hacl1ett
ticket, with the single exception Of John
Fox. Last year Fox cast his influence in his
apo4or;o1 5;ctriaf ooospcl Iyo,yac on1 ~
result was that the vote in the district stood
as follows-
ror Hayes. II 9S2
Majority for Hayes s......................... 5l6o
Mayor Wickham was supported by Fox,
and his vote in the district compares with
the vote for Hayes as follows-
For Hayes. Il 952
wickham over Hayes. es....................... 1896
1t is clear, therefore, that two thousand
three hundred and ninety-six votes are the
full measure of all the strength the support
of Fox gave to General Jones in the Fourth
Senatorial district. Fox is this year with
Tamnany but Morrisseys fight against Fox
in the Fourth district will certainly give
more votes in the district to the Hackett
ticket than Fox gave last year to Jones.
Apart from Fox every element that was
against Tammany last year on General Jones.
is against Tammany this year on Hackett.
On the other hand, Morrissey Hayes, Sena-
tor Ledwith, County Clerk Walsh, Costigan,
Peter Woods and host of other local leaders
who were active workers for Tammany last
year, are now openly in the field against
Tammany The laborers, who were unitedly
with Tammany last year, are now opposed
to the men who held out to them false prom
ises of work, and cut down their pay forty
cents day When to these facts are united
the strong feeling on the part of all the
reputable part of the community against
John Kelly's attempt to drive pure and
faithful Judge from the Bench from personal
motives it must be admitted that the success
of the Hackett ticket next week seems to be
assured.

THE THIRD AVENUE SAVINGS BANK-One
of the reasons why the creditors Of the
Third Avenue Savings Bank should
promptly take steps for the displace-
ment Of the present receiver and the
appointment of a new receiver not mixed up
with the broken bank is incontrovertible.
The trustees of the rotten bank gave bonds
for the security of the depositors. Some if
not all, of these trustees have made large
profits out Of the bank, but they now resist
the payment of their forfeited bonds and pre-
tend that the swindled depositors have no
claim against them until 1888 1t is very
desirable that the receiver shall be free from
all suspicion Of collusion with the trustees,
and the depositors have a right to insist that
their interests shall be placed in the hands
of person who has not been mixed up with
the trustees in the management of the con-
cern by which they have been victimized

The recent riot at Clinton, Mississippi, is
directly traceable to the inexcusable resis-
tance of a young white man to the authority
of colored peace officer Negroes rushed
to the assistance of the officer, and white
men came to the rescue of their friend.
The result of this rash interference was
the killing of thirteen persons, including
the original offender, and the wounding Of
as many more. Mississippi courts now have
an opportunity of vindicAting the good
name Of their State by bringing the sur
viving rioters, white and colored, 10 Justice
