THE storm when prevailed here on
Friday. Saturday and Sunday extended
largely throughout the Northwest and
Was marked In various localities by falls
Of rain, hail, snow and Sleet, and fierce
winds. Considerable damage was done
by the wind and hail, and in some pla.
ces injury was caused by lightning
At Jacksonville, ILL.,, hailstones, some
as large as turkeys eggs, fell to the
depth of six inches on the level caus-
ing thousands of dollars injury to
property. At Carroll, Iowa, there
was tour-inch fall of snow and water.
At Boonsboro, Iowa, heavy snow,
melting as it fell, did considera bic
damage to crops. Similar reports of
morenor less damage come from Hi

OF course, the amount of dam
age done to fruit depends upon the
frost which on Sunday night sue
ceeded the storm. 1t is TOO early for

much hope is expressed that the storm
may have done something towards ex-
terminating the grasshoppers. We

"BULLDozING is extremely unpop-
ular in Waterfowl"
So says the Democrat of last week,
but the statement does not appear to be
borne out by facts The mannerin which
the Union League has "bulldozed"
the Democratic party shows that the
undertaking has been successful to say
the least. Perhaps it has not been pop
ular, however. Onthe whole, we think
very probably it does lack some of the
elements of popularity, particularly
with those who are the subjects of the
"bulldozlng." The buldozee may have
reason to not like it, any more than a
man "hankers after billed OWL" but the
buldozer has greater cause to be salts
fed. Think for moment of the "bull-
DOING one year ago when a hand full
of "straight' Democrats, in the inter-
est of the Union League, threw con-
sternatlon into the ranks of the Demo-
cracy and "bulldozed" them into a
complete somersault as regards local
politics. See how handsomely the op-
Grafton was repeated last fall when the
Union League "bulldozed" Democrats
into the support of its candidate for
Member of Assembly. And if this is
not enough, see further evidence of
"bulldozing" in the driving of Demo-
Gratis into the support Of the League
ticket this spring. If still more proof
Is wanted that "bulldoziny" has been
a success, observe how the WATERFOWL
Democrat has been whipped into

The European war news thus far
has but little of actual war in it, if we
expect an uucon6rmed report from
Turkish sources that the Russians have
met a reverse on the Asiatic frontier.
resulting in less of 500 men to the
invaders. The Russisn legions are
pouring in over the Roumanian border,
and there are now $4,000 and 100000
of these troops we'll advanced toward
the Danube. One account intimates
that body of the invaders has even
crossed that river in the vicinity of
Gladova. All reports concur in the
prediction that the several Russian
corps now moving southwark have
common destination, which is believed
to be in the vicinity of Galatz, fifty
miles or more from the point where
the Danube emptes into the Black
Sea. All indications seem to point to
this locality as the probable scene of
the first great battle. So far as the
Turkish provinces are known to have
expressed their preferences regarding
the approaching contest there is little
or no sympathy for the Porte, and,
though considerable aid was expected
from this source, there is no prospect
that these expectations will be realized.
Roumania is holding aloof, with dis
position to side openly with the Russi-
ans. Servia warns the Porte that the
occupation of her territory by the
Turks will be the signal for open rup-
ture, and the Grecian islands are be-
coming FESTIVE, threatening to throw
of their allegiance. Upon the, whole

The Democrat last week gave the
anti-league Democrats In this city a
severe rap over the knuckles, but it
was we'll deserved It told them that
little more activity before the Demo
cratic primary meetings are held, and
a little less cursing and swearing after
the conventions are over and unsatis-
factory nominations made, would be a
vast improvement upon the present
style of doing things. The theory ad
vanced is sound, provided there were
enough anti-league Democrats to max
a respectable showing. The Democrat
says they "are sufficiently strong in
numbers to exert potent influence in
the management of the party and city,"
but We do not know what evidence it
has of any such fact. Certainly none
of the elections which have occurred
since the spring Of 1876 justify this
conclusion. Hardly corporal's guard
of Democrats opposed the League this
spring. This was partly the effect of
intimidation and bulldozing, but was
mainly due to the strategy of the
League in buying up many of the
faithful and their friends with petty
offices which were parcelled out where
they would do the most good. How
ever, the wisdom of the Democrats
advice is unquestioIed and ought to
be adopted, but it is almost certain
not to be for fear it will "hurt the
party" and stand in the way of another
great Democratic victory"

be visible to the naked eye. The
Democrat is simply deceiving itself in
trying to believe that the League and

They are so closely allied as to make it
impossible to find the dividing line be
tween them. They have buried all
differences which existed, and are now

success and caring not for local affairs

Democrat.
While the above is true as regards
the Republican party, it is VIGOROUSLY
incorrect so far as the Democratic
party is concerned. For proof of this
we refer to the charter election one
year ago, the election last fall and
again to the two elections this spring.
What are the facts as to the action of
the Democratic party on each of the
occasions alluded to? No one can
deny that it belied its professions of
two years ago, and, taking advantage
Of "our unfortunate situation" played
into the hands of the repudiationists
in consideration of votes TO be given
the Democratic party in return. That
party, for the sake of strengthening it's
position and commanding additional
votes for its candidates, truckled to the
League, making "our unfortunate stu
alton" the stepping stone to "a great
Democratic victory" The policy of
the Republican party has been in d.
rect antagonism to the one above out.
lined. The programme adopted two
years ago by the Citizens Association
with reference to the management of
the city debt was chosen after mature
deliberation, and irrespective of gener-
al politics. Republicans did not enter
into minute mathematical calculations
to ascertain what the effect would be
upon this or that candidate for Office.
Their efforts were chiefly directed to
devising plans for relieving the city
from its financial embarrassments, and
they studiously worked with that OBJ
ject in view. Politically, they prob
ably would have been gamers by form
ing an alliance with the League, but
tor reasons which to them seemed sat-
isfactory, they chose not to do this.
This kind of political scullduggery has
been left to the Democratic party, and
whatever benefits, if any, accrued have
been reaped by the opposition. We
do not think they have been sufficient
to compensate for the wear and tear
of conscience which the party mana
gers have experienced, but as the
Democratic conscience has been so
scared as to have become callous, it
will probably withstand the shock un-
injured.
