THE DEADLY CYCLONE.

About this time look out for big

able tokens of his power.
IL ARKANsAs.-About o'clock las,
Saturday morning disastrous tornado
struck White Oak, station on the Little
Rock and Fort Smith railway, ten miles
west of Ozark, Ark. The wind blew from
the southwest, and Its force was beyond
the powers of description. The sides OF
the mountains, which before the storm
were covered with trees, now show none
standing, even oaks being snapped in
twain like pipestems, After 1t came hail,
and lasted till the ground was covered with
ice. Many stones were nearly as large as
hens eggs.

FoREIaN.--The trial of Joe Brady, at
Dublin, as one OF the assassinators of Lord
Cavendish and Mr.. Burke, closed with n
verdict of guilty on Friday Of last week,
and he was sentenced TO be hanged May
14th.
On Monday the trial Of Daniel Curley

THE LEGISLATIVE DEADLOCK.

The house Of representatives at Spring
field has got into another deadlock, thi.
time on the contested election case OF
Bradwell against McNally 1t came about
in this way. On Wednesday of last week
the house took up the general appropri
alton bill on the second reading and spent
the day upon 1t, ad;ourning with an i'm
portant amendment pending. On Thurs
day morning when the house met, OF
course the first business IN order was the
pending amendment to the appropriation
bill As the question was beng stated
however, Mr.. Cooke, chairman of the cleo.
tons committee, arose and offered to pre-.
sent the report of the committee on the
contested Bradwel- McNally case. The
democrats objected Mr.. Cooke claimed
the right to present the report as . matter
of high privilege, and Speaker Collins de-
cided in his favor Crofts, democrat, ap
peaed from the decision of the chair, and

tor it as long as the republicans persist in
their refusal to take up any other business
than the contested election case, unless
they can muster quorum of their own

thus far been unable to do, as they have

republicans could only explain their ab-
sencc by saying the democrats had got

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE,

The Illinois legislature IS now il its
fifteenth week, and has not done what
would be respectable one weeks's work
of the La sale county board OF superyis-
ors. OF couIse the complaint is not that
the legislature has passed no more new
laws, fer the more they pass the worse 1t
generally is tor the people, but the COM
plant is that they waste SO much time and
money over doing the very little work the
people ask or expect of them.
The only bills We can find, on a careful
search Of the record, that have been passed
by either house IN the last two weeks are
BY the senate: the house bill providing
for biennial election of aldermen IN cities
adopting the minority representation plan
of voting.
The senate bill to prohibit telegraph
companies from interfering to prevent the
construction of rival lines; and
Senator Rays bill making juries judges
of the facts only in criminal cases. Sen
a.or Duncan holly opposed this bill and
tried to get reconsideration, but failed.

In the house.
The same stage In the senate has been
reached by what is known as the Lynch
bill, to prohibit and punish conspiraclcs
to prevent competition in trade.
The senate has second time killed what
Is known as the bucket shop bill-thc OBJ
ject Of the bill being to compel the Chi
cago board of trade to furnish the bucket
shops with Its market reports.
The business Of the house, since THUS.
day of last week, has been at deadlock

than quorum, failed on account of the
refusal, OF at least failure, of TWO OF their
own memb ers--Rook and Studer-to
stand up to the rack" Atleast they were
absent when II came to the scratch on
Wednesday, and the republican papers
explain their absence by saying the dem
ocraos got them drunk! On Thursday
they became sufficiently sobered up to cast
one vote with the republicans that enabled
them to read the elections report but on a
subsequent motion to reconsider and lay
on the table Rook again became democrat

The tidal wave IN politics that set in so
strongly in favor of the democracy last fall

The elections of the present month
throughout the country. wherever politics
were made the issue, showed uniform
gains rather than losses by the democracy.

with but a partial defeat last fall, and

THE CHICAGO IROQUOIs.

The Iroquois Club of Chicago, a high |
toned Democratic organization, conceived
somewhat on the plan of the aristocrat!cI
Republican Club of New York city, had ITS
second annual banquet on Friday evening
of last week at Potter Palmers big tavern,
and like its first a year ago, il the subject
Of WIDE newspaper attention. Among the
distinguished guests from abroad were
men like Senator Bayard Of Delaware, Col
Villas of Wisconsin, w. l.. p. Breckenridge
OF Kentucky, VIM. Hurbut of the New
York IVorld, Hon. James, o. Brodhead OF
st. Louis, Hon. Everett Wheeler, President
of the Free Trade League Of New York, NC.
About 300 members Of the club and invited
guests sat down to the banquet. THE cloth
being removed" toasts were read ana
speeches made by Senator Bayard, Jas. o.
Brodhead, Col. Villas, Col. Breckenridge,
Judge Trumbull, Everett Wheeler, W. ii,
| IIurlbut, &c, the last speaker on the pro
grammc being Carter Harrison, Chicago
best mayor" OF course all the speeches
were political and strongly democratic, and
what is more, nearly every one paid par
ticular attention to the tariff question
most of them, like Senator Bayard, Col
Villas, Mr.. Hurlbut and others taking mod
crate ground in favor Of tariff for reven
ue with sQulni towards Incidental
protection, while others, like Mr. Wheeler
and Col. Breckenridge, took strong and
decided free trade round. Now Carter
Harrison, whose speech was to be the wind
up," and whose SUBJECT beng Public or
fee and public trust" WAS not expected IN
any way to touch the tarlffQues'ion, and who
IN reality had written out and given to the
newspapers his speech wholly ignoring
the subject, when his name was reached
at 3 o'clock IN the morning, after very
tree circulation of the flowing bowl" for
some hours, forgot what he was to talk
about, and beng excited by the echoes OF
Mr.. Wheeler's free trade speech still ring
ing in his ears, went off "halfcOcked" with
quite violent harrange against ultra free
trade notions. declaring that the dem
ocrats must adhere TO the more moderate
ideas OF some Of the other speakers, look
ing to revenue tariff with incidental pro-
lection" Under the circumstances the
speech, which almost anywhere else would
have been sensible and proper enough, tell
upon his audience like bombshell, and
created no small disgust There is no ques-
ton but 1t was in bad taste under the cir
cumstances, though otherwise Carriers
speech will probably find as many demc-
cratic cndorsers as any other speech OF the
evening. The best jokein connection with
the affair is upon the Dig Chicago dailies,
all OF which took for granted that Carter
would deliver his set speech with which
they had been furnished copiesln advance,
and their reporters leaving in body as he
arose to speak, never heard Of his "bomb"
until next day. Then, however, they made
the most Of 1t by largely incorporating
