ably not regarded as very serious, for only one
man was killed.
Those members of the German Reichstag who
argue that their Government ought to make an
effort to divert to the Danubian regions the
enormous stream of emigration which Is
flowing to America only half understand
the causes of the movement which cNcites
their lively apprehensions. The great plains
along the lower Danube are only sparscly
settled, it is true but cheap land and
more clbOw-rOom are not the only Objects
the German emigrants seek. They want to live
under free institutions and escape enforced
military service. They know that in the United
States they will not have 10 live in constant
danger of bcing marched To- a battlefield to en-
nance the glory of a sovereign or 10 graliy the
ambition of prime minister. They are sick OF
the whole costly, bloody business of hnecait
and diplomacy, with its huge standing armies,
its wars and It's crushing taxation.
For some reasons which the mctcorolocists
would do well to investigate further the re-
gion lying between the Mississippi River and
the Rocky Mountains is peculiarly liable to
the visitations of destructive wind-s,ormS. sun
day last was Il day of terror i'll large portions
of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Minnesota. M
mcrous cyclones are reported, winch caused
the loss of many lives and much property. Ii
the phenomena of these storms we're nor
well attcstcd 10y the sad experiences O.. former
years we should READ with incredibly OF cattle
and horses whillcd through the ar. of frame
houses carried over the troctops with people
in them. and of solid brick buildings reduced

Another curious point has come ort in rla-
ton To the famous interview between lrd-
ley and Speaker Sharpe. Bradley low e1N'
he wrote his speech in Sh.~e'- room while
the Speaker was counting the mooney. 80 d
seems that in tie space OF " from five To seven
minutes -" Bradley narrated TIE story of the
bribery TO the iltuoI~ and of course u'l--
naut Speaker, handed him tire $1,000, and
wrote out the speech. We may naturally infer
that he also real the speech 90 sharpe, for
why should he have written II iu hi- pi" n"c
unless to submit it 10 thc speaker, Jud-nl'
Bradley SAYS Sharpe " seemed plriHlcd when
nc gave him the money, and did rot count 1t
as RAPIDLY a. he could have done. sharpe lin
islcd counting il. however, before Bradley
completed his writing. For a ~raltz"d man
the Speaker managed to thumb tac $1,000
with considerable rl?dty. only tho.c Will hc-
lirvc this story who want Ia believe H. 10
the candid mind the whole transaction wears
the look of cut-and-dricd affair. The more
il is examined the more the suspicion grows
that Bradley gave 10 account ot the alleged
bribery in the interview hccaGsc sharpe knc"
all about the story he was To tell that Sharpe
did not count the money, because De- knew cX-
actlv how much was in the package; and that
if there was any letter written in the room. II
was copied by Bradley from draft prepared
for him by much shrcvdcr men than he.
A staff correspondent of The TRIBUNE, max
ing preliminary survey of the political field
in Ohio at the opening of the Republican cam
paign, finds the prospects decidedly favorable
to Governor Foster and the excellent ticket
upon which he was placed 10y the Cleveland
Convention. There are elements Of uncertainty
in the contest, however, chief among which Is
the action of the Temperance votc-somc por-
ton of this vote may be dissatisfied AT not got
ting from the Republican Convention an IN
dolscmcnt of its movement in behalf of "A local
option law. The sober second thought Of these
excellent and conscientious rcIorIncr, viii. we
are confident, convince them that the only
practicable way OF securing the adoption of
wise measures to curb the evil OF tie liquor
traffic is by cooperation with tn" Republican
party. Nobody suppo-c~ that the Democrats
if they come into power ia Ohio, viii abolish
a single rumshop. III, choice for TIE friends
of Temperance is between the Republican

agency for accomplishing their purpose.
