not be allowed to practice such unblush-

The Democrats have gained few
local elections recently, and the times
are famous for disasters. Indiana is
rent with fearful tornado entailing
great loss of life. We are not orthodox
enough to attribute all these terrible
yisitations to the wickedness of DemOc-

cradle fraud of free trade, perpetrated
upon us, by English capitalists, should
become adopted. there would be terrible
cyclone of financial and business dis

PEOPLE talk with bated breath of the
dangers of tornado, and speak of the
