Mr.. Richard w, Thompson, Mr.. Hayes's
Secretary of the Navy, was disinclined to talk
politics yesterday when seen by a Graphic
representative in the Fifth-avenue Hotel.
He protested to have taken but very little IN
terest OF late in the affairs that trouble the
public mind, and said that he had been lat

quiet nights rest, comfortable breakfast
and a soothing cigar made the task of inter

test question Of the reporters as to how poll
tics in general in the West stood, he said:
"As to general political affairs l get most

think they fairly represent the state Of

papers. Some of you fellows in the East
would be laughed at out there. Now, for in
stanct, you talk seriously about Holman as
a possibility Why, my dear sir, he is not

the presidency provokes laugh, and what

"Why so? Why, because it would give US

him. But Mcdonald is different sort of a

A WISCONSIN CYCLONE.
Much Damage to Property, But No Loss of
Life.

LACROSSE, Wis, Oct. 1.-THE Republican
and Leader has received further details of the
terrific cyclone that struck the litCle town of
Arcadia, Trempeleau county, on Monday
night, doing much damage to property and
injuring several people there and in the
country adjoining None of the injured will
die. The storm struck the town at midnight.
A correspondent saysit came from the south
west, and that upon its approach the air was
so charged with electricity that lights could
not be burned, and the people rushed to
their cellars in the darkness to avoid the dan
ger which seemed imminent. The entire out
ward atmosphere was of peculiar reddish
green color, with a strong sulphuric odor,
and the deafening roar of the tornado
is utterly indescribable Barns and out
buildings were lifted from their foundations,
torn to fragments, and strewn promiscuOusly
in all directions. Broken boards, trees, bricks
and stones filled the air. and were hurled
with such violence in some instances as to
drive them through the sides of buildings.
Among the losers are Patrick Manning and a
farmer named Olsen, who lost everything
barn, house and outbuildings; John Bing
ham, granery barn and contents, 100 tons of
hay, four horses and blooded stock; John
Robertson, house, barn and outbuildings de-
stroyed, live stock escaped injury; James
Gavenor lost an orchard valued at S., 900;
State Senator Comstocks new sorghum mill
was destroyed and his barn wrecked, There
are many others damaged varyining from
500 to 81, OOO Mrs. Bessey and Miss Pipa,
who were most seriously injured by their
falling residences, are considered out of
danger. The cyclone seems to have spent it's
force up the North creek valley, doing the
usual damage to property, but causing no
loss OF life.

Mr.. Coe, OF New York, moved the adoption
of the following:
Resolved. That it is the sense of the Ameri-

age of the standard silver dollar of 4l2 q grains
is against the welfare of the nation, and that
they recommend to Congress the discontinuance
of such coinage only i'll such amounts as the de-
mands of the business of the country may re-
quire."
This caused a protracted debate, various
amendments being offered and rejected, but
the final vote adopted the resolution.
Mr., Nelson, of Alabama, moved the fol-
lowing:
Resolved, That the president, vice president
and executive council be instructed to prepare
and digest plan to be presented TO Congress

tenn"

The usual resolutions of thanks for cour-
tesies were movedand adopted, and the con-

No one can, in reason, further dispute the
fact that the Republican party is weaker
when trying to carry prohibition than 1t is
without that issue. The result in Iowa
should be conclusive evidence to any mind
that the prohibition question will not in
crease the number of votes for the Republic
can ticket Iowa is a rock-ribbed Republl-
can State, capable, in a campaign of such
general interest as the one just closed,
of giving anywhere from fifty to
eighty thousand majority for the
Republican candidates. Half the effort
made during the last campaign would have
in all probability, given Sherman majority
of so, 600 votes, instead of $4,000 or 100000
the number credited to him in the dis
patches this morning But apart from the
general consideration of party policy, there
is the question of merit in the issue. Prohi-
bition, we believe is neither practicable nor
possible. 1t has been a failure in New Eng
land, where most likely to be successful,
and if it failed in a community whose ira
Gitional instincts one would think, would
be in its favor, what is the prospect for it in
these States lying in the valley between the
lakes and the Ohio river, where we have
with US great masses of foreign population
whose traditional instincts are against pro-
hibition? Prohibition would not prohibit in
Ohio, Indiana or Illinois, and an Intellectual
attempt would result in more injurious eff
fects than the most open and free license of
the liquor traffic
This question is one that has to be met
and perhaps it is we'll that the Republican
party should meet it right now and dispose
of it

A GORGEOUS SCENE.

New YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Academy of
Music tonight is a thing of beauty, though
the Coleridge banquet may not prove joy
forever. The Transformation of the stage
for surpasses in beauty any transformation
scene ever presented upon it. The stage is
magnificent garden, with pretty lawns of
fresh green grass, beds of flowers, graveled
walks and most rare and costly shrubbery
and plants. Five thousand different plants,
shrubs and flowers, costing $4,000 were
used in this garden scene. In the southeast
corner of the garden is pitched Persian
tent twenty-three feet in height, supported
by gilded cords hung from the ceiling. This
is the central point of attraction.
Within and about the tent are placed
$50, 900 worth of Persian works of art, con-
sisting of armor, bronzes and candelabra. OF
the latter two magnificent specimens ten
feet high, are on either side of the canopy,
while $4,000 worth of handsome Persian

of the Academy, running its entire front,
was the supper room. Prep arations were
made to provide for 1900 people, and no
finer banquet table has ever been prepared

Among the parties to divorce cases held at
the recent term of our county court was a
couple who had been engaged in an ire
pressible conflict for months, and so bitter
were they that they would not speak one to
the other. But, as soon as the decree of di-
vorce was made and they left to take the
train, the emancpated man took the valise
of his amorette to the cars and showed her
the politest attention. and, although their
routes lay in different directions he accom-
panied her thirty miles toward her home
when they went into an artists saloon and
had their pictures taken together, and then
left in opposite directions.

An Unexplainable Infatuatiou.
.Evansville journal.

One of the strangest infatuations of this
age of humbugs is the Juror that exists to so
great an extent, leading people who are we'll
situated in such desirable States as Indiana
and Illinois, to remove to hyperborean Da-
kota. In doing this they exchange mild
climate, fertile soil, plenty of timber, coal
and water, land on which fruits berries and
vegetables of all kinds grow luxuriantly, for
cold and inhospitable climate, soil adapted
to the production of only two or three kinds
of grain, and but small range of fruits and
vegetables; where more than half the year is
wintry; where the ground freezes eight and
ten feet deep; where water is scarce and of
poor quality; where the festive blizzard'' is
positively dangerous iE its effects, and where
in short. there is very little to render life en-
durable.

There are other and better things in this
country than holding office, and some of the
most useful men of the nation are those
who never drew an official salary in their
lives. That the colored people should have
their share of representation is right and
just. and in this particular for people who
are still in the babyhood of their freedom,
they have Jared pretty we'll. Let the leaders
of the colored race look after the intelligence
and morals of their people and the Offices
and political preferment will come fast
enough.

They could tell how they sent achievements

over the Union victories and rejoiced when

how, after all this, their beloved cause was
defeated and overthrown, and they could
wind up by falling on each others necks and
weeping in concert. By all means let Dan

In Indiana the Democratic party is being
judged for the iniquitous proceedings of the
last Legislature; for its rape of the benevo-
lent institutions; for its violated pledges to
the people; for it's spending its whole time
in hunting for ways for turning Republicans
out of office, and to put Democrats in; for its
failure to provide for the continuance of the
work on the new State-house; for its refusal
to pass the necessary appropriation bills; for
its reckless squandering of the peoples money
to feed party paupers:

that while they might spell United States

Grain and Provision Gambling.

New AIDany Leuger.
Over two years ago the Ledger commenced
a war on the system of grain and provision
gambling that was then spreading over the
country. AT that time but little notice had
been taken of the matter. Since then nearly
every prominent paper in the country has
made war upon the system. So far, but
little good would seem to have been accom-
plished. But a great work has been done.
Public sentiment has been aroused. Sooner
or later, the nefarious business will have to
go.

Lafayette Courier,
Let free trade take the place OF protection,
and American laborers would soon find
themselves reduced to a necessity for the
economy of the old world. There could be
no approach to the dress and living of those
higher in the scale of society, but the line
between capital and labor would be drawn
deep and broad as it is wherever and when
ever the experiment has been tried.

1t would be, of course, preferable if the
South could, or would, educate her own
children, but the tax is too meagre and lev
led grudgingly by the old bunker Bourbons.
Even in some localities in the South in times
past when there was a shortage in some de-
partments, ruthless hands were laid on the
school fund and diverted to other purposes.
So long as this Indifference exists in the
South the necessity for the federal govern
ment to do something becomes imperative.

The Whole Battle To Be Fought Anew.

Columbus Republican.
The election OF 1884 is ust as uncertain as
before. AS we remarked some time ago, a
decided victory for either party would go far
to determine the result of the next general
election, but there being no decisive victory,
and the gains and losses being due largely to
local and temporary causes. Latest advices in
dictate that the prohibition amendment is
carried in Ohio, an unexpected. victory for
temperance. The whole battle is to be fought
with chances unchanged.

Inequalities of the Pension List.


Lebanon Patriot.
The list furnishes an interesting study
one of it's peculiar features being that most
of the large allowances are to men of special
prominence who are accredited with dsabil-
titles that are most susceptible of the criti-
cism of being trumped-up. 1t aptly Illus
trates the weakness and injustice of the PEN
sion system as it now exists, because it is
palpably wrong and unjust to discriminate
as to officers and men. The loss of an arm
or leg to private is just as great misfor-
tune as a similar loss is to an officer, and yet
we find the officer drawing three times the
amount of government aid that is
awarded the former. The man who
carried his musket and knapsack
on the weary march and who ate his hard
tack on the tented field, ought to be enti-
tied, at least to the same consideration the
officer is who lived in comparative luxury
and safety; but caste has conspred to take
from the one that which is justly his, and be-
stow it upon the less worthy, because of their
rank and influence. No one can be mean
enough to begrudge the soldier the bounty
that a grateful government has provided for
him, but there is a necessity for a more
equitable adjustment, whereby the disabled
and deserving private may have the same
consideration shown him that is granted the
fortunate few who are his superiors only in
empty official titles but whose real or fam
cied influence gives them access to special
privileges.

have better laws order and government
than we can expect under the most favora-

A Complaint from Grant County.


The pension law needs overhauling. and
the pension of the private soldier either
raised or that of the officers reduced The
pension law also needs changing in some
other respects. AS it now stands it is very
and many who are entitled to one do not try
to get it-although they sorely need it and
should have it-for the reason that the de-
partment officers regard them or treat them
as if they were scamps until they make proof
otherwise. Commissioner Dudley allows
some of his subordinates to treat some pri-
vate soldiers in this county very shabbily.
His ''lordly' style of business does not suit
tide people at large.
