There was another terrible Western tornado on Friday of last week. It swept through Marshall Co.,, Kansas, doing it's greatest dam- age at Irving, and extending into Nebraska and Wisconsin. There seem to have been. i'm deed, several cyclones branching off, as is supposed, from one point, and the injury done is greatly increased from first reports, by fuller accounts from the various localities devastated. seventy, with still larger number of serious injuries. 1Nl,o attempt has been made to esti- mate the damage loprQperty which must, how ever, be very great.

The Paris Canal Congress finally settled up- on the Panama route for canal, at sea level, with tunnel some eight miles in length, aad at an estimated expense of about one hundred and fifty millions. This result is not satis- factory to American engineers, as this is the most southerly route possible, running in fact near the present railroad and. consequently, increasing distances considerably for American commerce over the routes further north. The time thought to be necessary for the compile ton of such a canal is about five years, and the next question to be met is that of finance It is supposed that the reputation of M. Les seps will be of special assistance to the project in this respect, although we see it stated in many of our American papers that there can be little hope of the subscription of so large a sum as that which will certainly be required The imposition of toll of near $3. per ton, the amount proposed, will be a heavy burden on commerce.

The success of Foster rover Taft in last week s race for the Ohio Republican nomination, is regarded as blow at Grantism. Taft was a favorite of the old administration, as Foster is of the new. There is also an announcement of the fact that Sherman is to be one of the candidates for the presidency in 1880. We have never believed that Grantism could be galvanized into anything more than the sem- blance of life. We do not doubt, however, that last falls elections have given the ship of state lurch towards Stalwartism. That is bad enough, but by no means 80 utterly indefensi ble as Grantism.

The North American Review is becoming quite political battle ground. In the last number, Gen. Garfield attacks the reform re- cord claimed by the Democracy in the matter of government expenditures. He shows quite letting-up, on their part, of late; but it can- not be denied that, during the Democratic control of appropriations in the lower House, there has been material reduction of expenses.
 This Gen. Garfield attributes to changed times and lessened prices, but we must admit that
 as a general rule, economy was not the special virtue of Grants administration nor of the re-
 cent Republican Senate. The present govern ment is much more modest in its requests for money. On the other hand there has been such lavishness of expense on the part of the House and Senate in providing for their own officers, that we apprehend that much of the economy shown in the appropriations of a Democratic House for the support of a Repub- lican administration, would be very likely to disappear entirely from the appropriations of 2 Democratic House for Democratic.

At Washington Monday night, the Demo cratic caucus committee held a prolonged ses- ssion, till two o'clock in the morning It was finally agreed to pass the general legislative bill; but a seperate bill is to be sent to the President making special appropriations for courts, and denying any funds for payment of fees of supervisors and for arrests at elections. The army bill is to be reported free of politi- cal legislation with the exception of a clause which provides that no money be appropriated for payment of expense attached to trans ports and furnishing supplies of troops called on to keep the peace at the polls The whole plan was to be acted on by joint caucus, on Tuesday afternoon, when it was accepted. Considered as a move in the game for the Presidency, the ex- tra session has proved great Democratic blunder, and all thelr shrewd managers feel that it has been such. Whether they can re- trieve the ground they have lost so foohshly is the next important political problem offered for their solution.
