The Storm King.

A terrible storm passed through Green,
Christian, Sangamon and other counties III the
state of Illinois, on the night of the oath, des-
troying an immense amount of property and
killing dozen Or more people, besides injuring
a large number.
At Lorraine, Iowa, on the night of the 23d, q
cyclone destroyed seven houses and lumber
of outbuildings besides iniuring several persons.
California has experienced the heaviest and
most protracted storm that has visited that por-
ton of the country for long time. In the
valleys the rainfall was almost constant, over
flowing rivers, sweeping away bridges and wash
ing away ievees and railway tracks. Fortunate
ly the rain changed into snow on the Sierras,
otherwise the whole valleys of Sacramento and
San Joaquin would have been devastated by the
flood. In the mountains some idea of the Sc
verify of the storm may be obtained when it is
known that over sixteen feet Of snow has fallen,
while in some places on the line of the railroad
it has drifted forty feet deep. AValanches have
swept down the sides of the mountains, crush
ing snow sheds, bulying the track and carrying
away telegraph lines. Near Alta landslide
buried and tore away the track and road-bed.
Snow-plows, each driven by ten engines,
were pushed through the gathering drifts with
out cessation, and hundreds of men have toiled
with shovels where the plows could not go.
The storm has now ceased, and the track is
virtually clear with the exception of the land
slide, Which is being removed by mining.

the 18th as having been unprecedentedIy severe

pr1an MEN FOR OFFICE.

ministration of the affairs entrusted
to them. The Richmond Christian
Advocate liz appealing to the con
sciences Of the religious class Of vo>

"The time is coming when the

preachers, and sending out religious
reading will never thinking Of voting
for a person of soiled or dingy char

NOTHING WASTED.

There is beef packing company
at Rockport, Arkansas county, Tex
as, owned by Boston men, who find
a market for the products in the New
England States, Europe aud the Ems
glish navy. The factory kills an
average of 81, 800 grass-fed beeves
a year, and finds ready market for
their products. Every part of the
beef is utilized, even to the tuft OF
the tail, which are all preserved and
sold, it ia thought, for the purpose of
making ladies' frizzes. The blood
flows into tanks and is dressed and
sold at two cents pound for the
manufacture of artificial fertilizers
The lean beef is boiled and canned
in two pound cans. The hides are
sailed and sold green. The fatty
matter is all extracted and goes to
make tallow. The bones are all boil
ed to pulp to extract its fatty matter
which goes to tallow, and the dry
bone, mainly phosphate of lime, is
sold for fertilizing, at one cent a
pound. The water in which the
meat is boiled is boiled down and
eyaporated to a think paste, which to
canned and sold as "extrsct Of beef"
in fifty pound cans. The feet are
are cut off at the knee, and from hoof
meats foot" oil is extracted The
horny part of the foot, the shin bone
and the knuckle bones of the foot,
are extracted and sold 10 the East for
the manufacture of Yankee ivory.
The horns are piled up until the pith
becomes loose, and then this is added
to the fertilizers, and the bones sold
for manufacture. Every atom of
the animal is used.

conflict with his own record as a
Congressman, when be voted for

him to go back on his friend, GAR
field, for the Objectionable amend

partizan appointment Of deputy mar
shall and supervisors Of elections,
was the offspring of Garfield, and
which the democrats adopted and
tackled on to the deficiency bill as a
rider. The bill does not abridge the
independence Of the Executive in the
exercise Of any Of the functions Of
his office, but seeks to prevent fraud
and oppression at the ballot>box,
where partizan appointments Of
pimps Of the lowest slums, manage
to get hold Of the election machinery
in some of the largest Northern
cities and defeat a free exercise Of the
elective franchise. Hayes partizan
purpose in this instance, is 10 keep
ing with the principle Of fraud that
placed him in office.

THOSE of the colored people Of
The South who are thinking of going
to Kansas this year, had better wait
awhile. The outlook there is that
there are good many people there
now who will, befope many months
wish they had never seen Kansas
In some parts of the State there has
been no rain for six months, and the
prospects for good, of even fair, crops
are anthing but promising There
is very general feeling in Kansas
that this is to be droughty year
Drought in Kansas means great
deal. 1t means poverty, ruin and
starvation, Heretofore, iU. bad years
the money spent by thousands of
new settlers was great help to the
people. Now, however, the tide of
emigration flows past Kansas to Col
orado and other States and Territories
farther west. Many wheat fields are
already scorched past recovery. Tn
less rain comes soon, Kansas will not
produce sufficient wheat this year to
make bread for he; own people.

NOTHING that has transpired in
several years has agitated the Re
publican press more than the report
of Senator Davis Investigating com
mittee sho wing discrepancies of tens
of millions in the United States
Treasury accounts, and loose sys
tenn of management that seems to
have bid for dishonesty. The COM
ments of the Republican organs are
of the usual kind, and may be class
ed as Specific in nothing except
general denial" As the report does
not by name charge Secretary Sher-
man or either of his predecessors
with theft, it is asserted that no theft
has been committed-a pal paS sSss
Sequittw. There is but one way of
satisfactorily meeting the implied
charges of the Davis report, viz : by
showing that the officials who have
mysteriously become millionsires on
comparatively small salaries accu-
mulated their fortunes legitimstely.

ETHER the office ought to be
abolished, or some duties should be
assigned to the Vice. President which
would lend dignity aud importance
to the place. At present the office
is so distasteful that it is almost i'm
possible to secure first rate man to
take nomination for it, and the
constitutional provision for filling
vacancy has become sort of assur-
ance that a second rate man shall
occupy the Presidential Office. 1t is

A COLoRED CANDIDATE FOR VICE
PRESIDENT

The coiored Rradicals in various
sections are demanding that Senator
Bruce, of Mississippi, shall have the
second place on the Grant ticket. -
The Boston Post commencing the
movement says the colored brethren
are on the right track. 1t says that
one blonde is enough for the third
termer's ticket and that Bruce is
just the brunette for the other place.
This demand of the colored element
for recognition will test the sincerity
of the philauthropists who are max
ing such howl over the West Point
mystery. Grant cannot object to
the arrangement, for has he not
said, "Where 1 am they can come"
The negroes will hold the balance of
power in the Chicago Convention,
and if they have as much pluck as
they have ambition and political
strength, they can force the recogni
ton of their right to be represented
on the Presidential ticket.

MONEY POWER,

one half Of this amount is 10 Govern

vast amount of calculation to see that
il the interest one such q sum, at
four per cent was allowed to accu-
mulate, in thirty years he might own
tho Government Indebtedness. Per-
haps his ambition runs in this direc
ton, as he seems to be disposiDg of
his railroad interests aud converting
the same into United States promises
to pay. Already the interest on
those be now owns amounts to be
tween five and six thousand dollars
each day, a sum perfectly enormous
coming the way it does. Somebody
has to pay this, and it is not hard to
seewho that somebody is.
