would have been elected President by the House
Of Representatives. while the Senate would have
chosen Mr.. WHEELER Vice -President Then we
should have had President to whom the ma.
jority OF the people had given their suffragcs
innugurated through n regular and constitu-
tonal method. and there would have been no
question about the validity Of his title. and no
example OF Fraud first triumphant in Amcri-
can history" would have been set up to corrupt
the young and disgrace the country.

alcohol upon the backs of convicts and then
gnited it. to ascertain whether they were

Wet was found to be insane. The investigation
has already shown that DR.. PHILLIPS should be
removed and punished.

Sportsmon made merry over Mr.. WAC
sTArF's bill providing n severe penalty for kill
ing moose in the State OF Now York, for the
reason that there probably isn't a wild moose
to-day in all its boundaries Amendments
were suggested protecting the majestic elc-
phant aud the agile yak from the aim Of
Adirondack sportsmcn, and forbiddng the
bringing down OF the peaceful pelican. But it
seems that club has contracted for seven
moose from the provinces and that an effort is
10 be made TO stock the great northern wilder
ness with this most noble of American animals.
Hence Mr.. WAGsTATr's bill.

Since his rise TO worldwide fame in 1906.
Prince BISMARCK has enjoyed the reputation Of
being second MAcHIAvELLI To the popular
mind. he has always been doing what he pre-
tended not to do. and has avoided that which
he was ostensibly doing. Whatever of deviltry
was supposed to be- on foot in Europe. BISMARCK
was pitched upon as its author This tendency
the astute Chancellor has taken advantage Of.
and he himself lately said that il was his habit
always to tell the truth. and that thus he out
wtted the sharpest dipomatists. In 1873 n.
during the trouble with the Roman Catholics.
BISMARCK was credited with the design Of an
ncNinc the G,rman-spc aking provinces OF Aus
trim Il was in vain that he denied tho charge
said "he wanted no more provinces to 20 n
pilgrimagng.' and pointed out the inevitable
evils that The scheme would bring TO the freshly
ccmcnird German empire. Nobody would
believe him. simply because he stated
what was plain 10 the commonest mind.
During the recent conflict. the Same
alternate jealousy and suspicion have followed
every act of tho Chancellor. When he urged
upon England and Turkey the oIdance Of the
Berlin memorandum as safe way out Of the
| Eastern difficulty. the pfRIy- PAGET LoFrus
school Of diplomatists rers stcd in seeing some
trcachery lurking beneath il, and not genuine
| desire for peace. The memorandum was re-
iccted and the war begun. During its progress
| BISMARCK has been represented rs favorlng ali
| possible sides and interests. now Russia. now
| Turkey and now Austria. a. the dictates OF his
selfish policy demanded. He has been almost
| uniformly pictured as plottcr whose chief de-
| light was in setting his neighbors 10y the ears
| with the view Of proftinG by their quarrels
| When he sought to mitigate the horrors OF tn,
war by calling the attention of the Porte to tn,
| humane provisions OF the Geneva Convention
| he was charged with attempting TO bully Turkel
| in the interest Of Russia Now when he come,
forward to straighten out the misunderstood
ing between Russia and Austria and preserve
the peace OF Europe. he is credited with un
fashionable designs. He secs nothing in th
| peace stipulations OF Russia which should eX
cite Austrian alarm. and says that as long as th
| straits and the Danube are left free the othe
powers have nothing TO fear from Russia's de
mands upon Turkey. His remark that German
had no idea Of intervening on either side bear
the impress of TRUTH and the applause witt
which il was received shows that the speake
had rightly fathomcd the temper Of the German
people. Tho Chancellor sound sense and con
tempt for diplomatic trckery were never bette
cxemplilcd.

about i O'clock this evening and blew
over houses, uprooted trees and caused
the greatest devastation. 1t is estimated
shat the killed will number at present at
least 20, while the wounded viii reach
twice that number. The telegraph wires
and poles were blown down, so that it
was impossible to communicate directly
with New Haven on the south or Meriden
or Hartford to the north.
Word was finally sent by the up :
o'clock train to the two latter cities, and
on the next down express, which leaves
Aerlden at 30, came physicians and
help. Arriving at the scene. the town
was found to be in uproar. The greatest
excitement prevailed, and the widest
rumors We're atloat as to loss Of lilt. On
the Meriden train came seven physicians.
the telegraph manager. to repair the
wires, and the Associated Press agent.
Systematic measures were at once taken
to gather together and identify the dead
and care tOr the wounded.
1t was found that the tornado had been
confined TO belt of territory about half
mile wide, and the whole damage and
loss of life occurred on the sand plains.
about a quarter of mile north of the
railroad station. near the line OF the New
\ DIRK, New Haven and Hartford Railroad.
At Is o'clock. while the men were leay-
ing the several factories in the vicinity,
1t began to rain gently In a very few
minutes the rain increased to a perfect
dcluge, while the lightning Illuminated
the darkened sky As bright as day and
thunder rolled With d continuous roar.
Without a sccond's warning a tornado ot
wind. mingled with hail and rain. swept
across the northern part Of the town from
east to west. and everything movable in
its track was carried away. 1t seemed to
last but 4 moment. but its results were
lrighttul AttcrNHd light rain fell,
which soon passed OFT, and ut : O'Clock.
when the tram arrived from MerIdcn, the
heavens were clear and the moon shont
brightly. BY actual count, forty dwell
ing houses were demolished and lit least
fifty barns.
The scene WAS a memorable one. The
wooden houses were carried clear on their
foundations. from few feet TO an eighth
Of mile. In the line OF the tornado
nothing was lelt standing, and on each
side Of its track lesser damage was done
chlmneys especially suffering. The Cath
