TWENTY-FIVE lives are known to
have been lost at Mount Carmel, Ill :,
on the Sd inst. In two minutes the
tornado did its terrible work. There
was hope that the earlier dispatches
might have overstated the loss of life,
but 1t is now known that not less
than twenty-five deaths were occa-
stoned. The outburst seems to have
occurred at the point where two
winds, from different directions, met.
Its power, when developed as whirl-
wind, was almost incredible, men
and women being lifted by it and
carried hundreds Of yards. OF course
all human efforts in such a crisis was
unavailing, hut there were many sim
gular escapes from inquiry, among
the most curious being that of boy
who was carried over housetops to a
distance of half mile.

GENTLEMEN'S FAvORITES.

Grntlemen's favorites whom women
dislike and distrust, are not usually
good for much, morally. They are
often false snd insIncere, superficial.
and possibly with very low aim in
life. The men know all this, but
fnrgive it for the sake of the pleas
antness which is the grace and charm
that shadows, or rather brightens. all
the rest: having oftentlmes indeed II
half-contemptuous tolerance of their
sins, as not exnecting anything better
from them. Grant that they are
false, and that they sail perllously
near the wind, are skiffs and untrust-
worthy, what of thatl They are not
favorites because of their good quail
ties, only because Of their pleasant
ones-that subtle something indie
scribable of old writers which stands
one in such good stead when one is
at loss for an analysis, and which is
the only term that expresses the
strong, yet indefinite charm. which
certain women possess FIR men.
1t is not beauty. it is not necessa-
rily cleverness, taken in the sense of
education, though it must be a keen
ness, If not depth of intellect and
smartness, if not the power OF reason
ing; it is not goodness, it is not al
ways youth nor yet warmth of feel

as characteristics--but it is compan-
ionship and the power of amusing.
Still, what is it that creates this
power. this companionship2 A smart,

cordlng to circumstances.
But whatever they may be, they
are useful in their generation and
valuable for such work as they have
tn do. Society is miserably dull
affair to men, where there are no
favoritcs of any set; where the
omanhood in the room is of the
kind that herds together rs if for

about the sheepf,ld of crinoiine in
coats and boards; where conversation
is monosyllabic in form, and restrict

4 REFORM ADMINISTRATION.


Every day brings additional evil
dence of the wisdom displayed by
the Cincinnati Convention in the
selection Of a candidate for Presi-
dent, when the claims OF machine
politicians were ignored and the
popular Governor Of Ohio made
standard bearer of the Republican
party. This wise discretion Sc
cured to the nation a Reform Presi-
dent, and he is now engaged in
this very necessary work instead OF
pandering to the fol!ies Of shoddy
aristocracy at Long Branch. No
idle luxury at the seaside for Hayes
or the members Of his Cabinet while
the public service demands their
presence in Washington. The
President marked out course OF
reform before be went into Office
and he is fearlessly. honestly. in
dustriously pursuing his defined
policy. If Republicans support
him the sscendency OF the party
will be prolonged, but if they pre-
fer the corrupt practices SD preva-
lent under the previous admins
tration the Democrats will elect the
next President a. sure as fate.
Every member of the Cabinet
seems to be aiding the President III
the good work of reform. Secre-
tary Evarts is giving his attention
to needed changes in our diplo-
matte and consular service, and
economy and efficiency will be the
result. Secretary Sherman Is in
Producing many needed reforms in
the customs and internal revenue
service, prosecuting the whisky
ring thieves, and discharging from
the Treasury hundreds of unneces-
sary clerks and employees. Secre-
tsry McCrary is repairing the de-
moralization in army affairs wrought
by the sutIership broker Belknap.
Secretary Thompson is inaugu-
rating reform in the navy, and will
endeavor to repair, SO far as posi-
BILE, the fragrant wrongs perpetrated
by his predecessor. He does not
conceal his intention of preventing
navy yards from being hereafter
used as political machines.
Secretary Schurz is bringing or
der ont of chaos in the Interior
Department, and the swindIing
rings so long fostered in that branch
Of the public service must give
place to honest practices under tits
sturdy reformer. Postmaster. Gen
eral Key is making his department
feel the effects Of reform, and the
system Of straw bids will doubt
less be broken up. He tells his
subordinates that they serve their
party best by doing the work as
signed to them. instead Of attending
to party organization and discipline.
Attorney General Devens will ma
terially reduce the expenses of the
Department Of Justice and at the
same time make the service more
efficient than it has been under
former incumbents. He will put
stop to the corruption and robbery
heretofore prevalent.
