A Catastrophe.

The Baltimore "Sun'' says A west
end man had tho fiat roof of the L of his
house tarred, and when six or seven cats
got on It, the following night, they could
yell and arch their backs and try TO get
pull on all four feet at once, but they
couldn't lift themselves free, and their
singing was frightful, and people in the
neighborhood began to chuck things at
them, and the owner of the house forgot
about the tar and went barefooted and In
his robe de mutt upon the roof to chase
them off and pretty soon he found he
couldn't stir and he began to whoop aud
swear, and policeman got ladder and
climbed upon the roof and when he came
up over the edge, on his hands and knees,
he had to remain in that posture, and he
used very emphatic language. Meantime
the bootjacks were falling in shower
about and upon them, and the mans moth
er-in.law, in looking out of an upper win
dow that overlooked the l. roof, to ask
them if they were not ashamed to be out
on roof playing cat at that time of night
unfortunately knocked her wig of, aud it
fell in the tar; and then she rushed down a
flight of stairs and went out on the roof
to get it, and couldn't pull the wig up, but
got her hand stuck to it; so she couldn't
let go of it, and of course her position and
her bald head make dead give away, as it
was quite light, when some one finally
came with boards TO put down on the roof
for them TO be got on to when they were
cut loose from the tar, and the old lady
didn't feel bit worse than the policeman,
who had to walk through the streets with
the knees Of his trousers cut out, and left
stuck on the roof and a great hunk of tar
stuck to each hand and got reprimand
when he reached the station. And the
house-owner himself blistered his feet try
ing to melt the tar off of them by holding
them up to hot stove, and when the cats
were cut loose from the roof and put on
the ground, they tried to gnaw the tar from
their claws and got their paws stuck in
their mouths and rolled about and yawled
and carried on so that folks thought they
were mad and killed them. And that
,houseowner's mother-in-law hasn't yet got
over jawipg him abont that tar roof.

Another Tornado,

TAYLoRvILLE, H., April 25.-A terrible
cyclone, scarcly less violent and Obstructive
than that which visited Western Missouri,
a week ago, passed over portion of Chris
tian county, little after o'clock last
night, plowing its way through the timber
and scattering houses, barns and fences in
it's course.
Those killed outright were Mrs. T. j.
Langley and two children of Alonzo Cut
Ter, and all of them were mangled in hor-
rible manner. One of the Cutler children
was found this morning in a brush-pile 200
yards from the house, with the upper part
Of its skull gone.
Besides these, Mrs. Cutler, John Hay,
Harry Langley, Mrs. Hoefner and two
children, Alexander Elliott, James Watts
and wife and George Higgins and wife are
not expected to live. Mr.. and Mrs. Hig-
gins seem to be in the most precarious con-
dition. They. sought shelter from the storm
behind chicken-coop, and several hours
after were picked up quarter of mile
away, mangled almost past recognition.
MEDoRA, ILL.,, April 25.-J. H. & ]. M.
Valintine's store was blown from its foun-
cations by the cyclone and completely
wrecked. Their loss is $4,000. Two
powder-cans, which were in the store, were
ignited in some way and exploded, injur.
ing Mr.. Valintine badly and fatally injur-
ing his clerk. The storm took northeas-
terly direction, sweeping everything before
it. Nothing was left of many of the
houses but the foundations. Mrs. Abner
Haynes was blown about 200 yards and in
stantly killed, In nearly every house the
inmates were more or less injured,

WASHINGTON, March 25.--Every, thoughtful OBJ
server of the course of events in Washington since
1875, must certainly have reached the conclusion
that the Democrats as National party have lost
the art of government
As long as they were in minority In Congress-
and were responsible neither for legislation nor for
the execution of the laws, the Democrats did not
cut such sorry figure. 1t requires none of the
oualities of political leadership to crcise and tear
20 pieces the work of a rival party. Asses and
bIoekbeads may do that and sometimes do 1t sue
cessfully Skill and judgment are required to han
die amaioriy made up often of discordant elements
as political parties in Congress generally are and
81 their qualities are wanting or If their
possessors surrender the leadership to the shallow
mated demagogues who make the most noise In al
most every legislative Assembly the party in power
Is bound to come to grief.
This is why the Democratic party in Congress
ever since it gained possession OF the House OF Rep
resentatives in 1875, has made such an unfortunate
record for itself. Instead of " sitting down upon
every fool in the party, who vainly imagines that
he ~ great statesman and who thrusts himself for
warI when he ought TO keep his mouth closed, the

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON, March 25-Now that the House Of
Representatives has, after three days struggle,
extricated itself from the difficulty into which it
was plunged by Townshend trick. it has be-
come matter Of serious importance to devise means
TO avoid another trap OF the same kind.
The resolution passed this afternoon does not CEN
suro Mr.. Townshend, and 1t would surprise nobody
if he should repeat his performance of last Monday
the first time he catches the House off its guard.
The best plan that has been suggested is that
whenever hereafter r.Townshend sends bill to the
Clerks desk for reference TO committee. some
member. as any one has right to do. shall always
call for a reading of the bill In ertens0 In order
tnat the House may assure Itself that fraud upon
II Ia hidden under an indefinite or unintelligiblo
title OF conrse this would consume of the
time of the House. but If similar precautiOn had
been adopted la Monday the three days of dis
graceful scenes which closed this evening might
have been avoided.
