Twenty-seven states elect members
of Congress next meek. The ques-
ton as to whether the Democrats are
to have control OF both branches OF
Congress, for the next two years will
then be decided. We have an abid-
ing faith that the Republican party
the party Of free thought and human
rights-will succeed; but whatever
may be the result Of next Tuesdays
elections, the Republican party will
In the end triumph. 1t Is the party
of right, justice and truth, and its
principles must prevail.

A fearful storm of wind and rain
swept through the east Wednesday
morning OF last week, doing immense
damage in Philadelphia and vicinity,
and in many places on the Atlantic
coast. Numbers OF vessels were
wrecked, and several lives lost. In
Philadelphia the steeples OF about
fifty churches were blown down, and
in some cases carried with them 9TH
er buildings. And now the Philadel-
phia papers are taking the ground
that church steeples, as usually built,
are a nuisance, and il there are no
laws against erecting such nuisances,
that some should be enacted as soon
as possible.
