The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1877-10-04
A TORNADO NEAR DUNOAIK IRELAND

The DuRdak Democrat says:
On Tuesday morning a most extra
ordinary occurrence took place at
Claret Rock, a place about four miles
north of Dundalk. On the morning
IN question, between four and five o.
clock. 4 blacksmith named Dooley,
and his two brothers, were awakened
by loud rumbling noise, and. dread
ing that something was about to hap
pen to the house, they jumped out Of
BED. and. running to the door. put
their shoulders against it to secure it
more effectually. They had scarcely
done SO when the covering of the
whole roof was taken off the house and
the windows blown in by terrible
hurricane. which passed over it with
a terrible roar. In a few minutes the
noise ceased, and venturinc outside
they found that the roof of an adioin-
ing forge was also blown off. while a
cow-house which was under the same
roof was uninjured. \ donkev's cart
that was left in the street before the
door on Monday night was carried off
about four perches and deposited on
the top of a wooden gate. Both the
cart and the gate were smashed.
At the time. the rain was
falling in torrents, and the Dooleys
had to take shelter in the cow-house.
They heard the noise of the hurricane
for about ten minute. and they state

THE ELECTORAL TRIBUNAL.

The case of Florida has been argued by
the counsel on both sides and submitted
to the electoral commission. A decision
will probably be rendered to-day. The
Democratic reporters are at variance about
what is thought in Washington the de-
cision will be- The specials generally
pretend that an award favorable to Tilden
is confidently looked for by the leading
Democrats of Washington.
The Associated Press dispatches, on the
other hand positively, not to say rather
arbi trarily declare that nobody on either
side has ventured an opinion. The AS
sociated Press man is clearly wrong, as
usual. Observer, Buell., Bijou, and all
and singular the Democratic special
writer's have made up their minds and
backed up their opinions by attributing
them to pleading Democrats. " Who shall
say that the writer's themselves are MOI

THE GRAND 1NoU1s1T1oB OF STATES.


History tells of an institution for the
suppression of heresy, which held its SEES
sions at the seat of supreme government,
and summoned offenders from the most
remote regions. This institution was
armed with the power of temporal and
spiritual punishment. "When the judges
were led to suspect any person, he
was cited at once to appear before them,
and if he did not appear he was forth
with condemned" After many days, and
perhaps months, which the accused
dragged out in a loathsome dungeon, he
was brought before the commission. 'If
his answers did not satisfy the judges,
resort was had to torture, which was in
flicted in various ways, etc. The Demo-
cratic party, which claims the States to be
sovereign, have constituted an inquisition
of the States. 1t consists of members of
a single house of Congress which acts in
block or in detail. The apparitor or pur-
suivant of this authority summons or
seizes a citizen suspected of heretical
action or opinion, and drags him before
the Democratic House or its committee.
If the person arrested be an officer of the
State, or if he decline to answer the
questions put to him, he may be sent to
prison. 1t is true that the tortures Of
Torquemada can not at this day be in
ficted. Civilization forbids that the
wheel and the screw and the fire shall be
employed to make men confess that
they have committed frauds of which
they are innocent, but the Democratic
inquisition exercises a power analogous
to that Of its infamous exemplar. 1t may
seize any officer of State, and bring him
to the bar TO answer how he has per-
formed his duty TO the State. He may be
DETAINED by 8 venomous and fanatical
press, as a felon who has not even the
right Of a fair trial. He may be thrown
into prison, and denied the right Of
hAbeas corpus, Notwithstanding the au-
thorities Of the State might protest
against this invasion Of the scarcely cor
porate rights which the Democracy has
left them.
Where are the State defenders Of the
South What has become Of those who
| psriled their lives upon the doctrine that
the States were in the last resort the
judges Of the limits Of their rights, but
also Of the mode and measure of redress
