able damage 10 buildings. Beyond
this point we have no information, and
il is supposed that il left terra frma at
this place at least il is hoped so. The
damage TO fences, trees and orchards
is terrible. Board fences we're taken
up, the posts driven down in the mead
ows and grain fields. The boards were
slivered mp fine, and the slivers are
stuck all over the fields, so that now
ing with machines will be impossible.
Rail fences had the lead. Rails flow
anywhere aud everywhere, going clear
through houses, barns. and horses;
flying through windmills and windows,
and at shooting down into some field,
driving themselves deep into the
ground. Grain is fiat. Everything
looks as il il had been combed. Large
hickory trees were moved down as
easily as corn would be. Parts OF the
buildings are strewn all through the
fields. Dead hogs aud poultry are
strewn all over Some families are des-
titute, and outside aid will probably
be necessary. 1t is the worst scene of
destruction that Wisconsin ever expe-
rienced in the form Of tornado. Only
an eyewitness can comprehend it
Twenty-Five thousand dollars is low
estimate on the loss.

Interview while the Resolutions were pending.
Positively il ia the most uncommon
piece Of political unwisdom can recall.
IL does seem TO me that there never
was such a set, except those who led US
into secession. Northern pa
pers say we are sitting investigation,
afraid to face the music OF election
frauds. except as we hope 10 make cap
ital for ourselves. That's true. II
looks exactly like that 10 the country
in general. III this resolution passes
without the Hale amendment, or some
other equally broad, my prediction Is
that we shall have another bloody-shirt
campaign on our hands, and | would
not give fg for our chances TO hold
the next House OF Representatives
Of IL, we want il all; probe the whole
fraud or let IL alone, IL is
folly Of the most wicked character 10
attempt 10 force the resolutions upon
the House without an opportunity for
amendment. III the House is
90 enter upon an investigation, let II
be known everywhere that IL is TO be
full and free. Honesty is the best pol
lev. not only in morals, but in oil pol
itical aud business transactions Of life.
Does the Democratic party feaI
10 have its actions probed? Has II
ANYTHING which it is anxious to con-
ceal? Then why this obstinate deter
mination 10 shut out fair play? If the
investigation must proceed, let il be
based upon a broad aud far reaching
demand for all the facts. Let II reach
from top to bottom and include every
alleged irregularity or fraud In tho
Prudential election. As the Democrats
are now resolved see nothing but
mischief, immediate and general, II
their plan. 10 will disturb the peace
and quiet OF the whole country, and
have a most injurious effect upon al
our industrial interests.

How communistic ideas help labor

Mark Hopkins, Of San Francisco, was
last year engaged in building busi-
ness block 10 cost one million dollars.
One night the communist leader. Kesr-
ney, made a speech which reused the
rabble and threats which reached Mr..
Hopkins ears. This and the stories Of
violence and destruction in the east
alarmed him aud induced the belief
that his property was IN jeopardy, and,
With the timidity Of capital and the
timidity Of Did age combined, he de-
clared that he would spend no more
money ON buildings that might be de-
stroyed any day by the communism

NEW YORK.

New YORK, Nov. l2--Tammany Hall
has retained counsel to proceed against
John L. Davenport. federal supervisor of
elections, for preventing holders of 1868
naturalization certificates from voting at
the late election.
A committee of the creditors of Dodd,
Brown Il Co., have not yet decided as to
the dividend to be declared trom actual
assets. The chairman of the committee
says the chief difficulty in arriving at a
settlement arose from the fact that one
partner was here and the others in St.
Louis. and concurrent action was neces-
sary.
A subordinate in one of the city depart
ments has been caught appropriating the
city's money and compelled to disgorge;
neither the name of the department nor
of the culprit are given, but arrests are
promised; one or two clerks of the police
department were recently dismissed for
backmailing applicants for position and
| for transfer.
a dispatch from Albany says Governor
Robinson will follow up the defeat at the
polls in this city, Tuesday last, by positive
action against every Tammany officia
whom he has legal power to remove, and
that Controller Kelly, sheriff, register, and
county clerk must go.
