JOHN STROHM.
He's o Good Man."
hi Ia In

AAhlcS
Mr.. w. L. Hensel's interesting article in
Progress ON John Strohm will recall many
interesting "reminiscences of the sturdy
Anti Mason and Wing leader of tho Old
Guard. He has we'll nigh reached the
more than patriarchal age of four score and
ten years, but he is still greeted around his
rural home and often on tho streets of
Lancaster, with the reverence that the
present ever yields to those whose honor
able records are linked between the pres
ent and the past. Mr.. Hensel has
drawn his pen portrait with master
hand, and entirely without partisan preju-
dice. John Strohm was senator un-
known to fame, although highly esteemed
by his Lancaster constituents, when he
gave the casting vote in 1888 that recog-
nized the Z" Hopkins House, and thus
ended the disgraceful half-trasedy and
half-farce remembered as the " Buckshot
War;" Stevens was then the lead
er Of Senator Strohm's party in the
House, and the recognition of the Hop
kins House" summarily terminated Stevens
battle for the control of the body. Stevens,
always unyielding to the last, refused to
kins, and the House declared his seat va.

reelected by ..an overwhelming majority,
and lie then qualified, but he never fully
forgave Mr.. StrOhm. The writer hereof
was member of the Whig state conven-
ton Of 1851 that met at Lancaster and
nominated MIR. Strohm for canal commits
sioncr on the ticket with Governor John
stOn. Mr. Stevens, then resident of
Lancaster and in Congress, was grieved at
the nomination Of Strobm, but he grace
fully acquiesced and cordially supported
him. While conceding Strohm's in
tegrity, he did not concede that Strohm
was right in 1889, but he sig
ni1icantly said Its time that Strohm
should be forgiven he's good
man. StrOhm was defeated with John
ston, and he has not since been p, omi-
nent in politics outside of his co lnty.
From being the contemporary of Clay,
Webster, Calhoun, Benton and Winthrop,
and the Ingersolls in Congress, and re-
spected as one of the most intelligent but
unObstrusive of our national legislatoro,
he has witnessed another generation come
and 90, and he has served it as justice of
the peace, school director, township au.
di.Or, and he yet administers justice among
his immediate neighbors, beloved by all
around him.

A special from Sioux City says there are
thirty feet of water in the channel at
Yankton. The lower part or the city is
overflowed, the Inhabitants having fled to
the hills. The flood is the largest ever
known there: aud the damage is immense.
The city Of Vermilion, Dakota, is also in

were taken to the bluffs in boats, and
were probably landed in places Of safety.
