Two Storm incidents.

Mr.. H. Shoafe, SO badly hurt, and taken
to Brookhaven, has recovered sufficiently
to return here to-day. This gentleman
was blown from Wesson to Beauregard. a
distance of one mile WesSon special to N.
q. TimeS-DemOcrat, May LIST.
Mr.. Simpson-we forget his other name
was taken up by the storm in West Lin
coin, carried past Wesson and Beauresard
at tho rate of a mile minute and sloshe d
down into the: middle. of Pearl river at
Rockport. He then swan down the
Pearl to Monticello, and crawled from that
place to Brookhaven, reaching here last
Thursday just too late for us to announce
his arrival in our last paper. He said that
his house had been swept away and car
ried beyond where he himself was split
from the laps ofthe STERN and that he was a
sufferer and needed help. We believed
him, and he was endorsed by the editor OF
THE LEADER and several leading citizens
of Brookhaven with instructions to draw
on the Times-Democrat's Relief Fund for
500.
At last accounts, Mr.. Simpson had sufli-
GENTLY recovered to walk little, and was
still improving.

We are informed by DR.. Applewhite that
all of this money has not yet been expend-
ed, and that he trusts but little more will
be required.
The condition of the sufferers is much
improved since our last report. Their
fences have been rebuilt, lands cleared of
timber as near as practicable at this sea-
son of the year, and some are rebuilding
their houses, though others will have to
defer this work until the crops are off of
hand.
We are truly gratified to be able to make
such favorable report. Meantime the
hearts of these unfortunate people swell
with gratitude toward DR.. Johnson, the
committee of gentlemen named, and many
others who have taken an active part in
their relief, as well as toward the generous
hearted ones who have contributed money
to their aid. #

THE SWEDISH MISSION.

Mr.. Thomas, 1t appears, will accept the
Swedish Mission. There have been many
hints that the appointment was contem-
plated with reference to certain complica.
tions In Maine politics, but 1t Is unnecess-
ary to search for obscure reasons which
may have occasioned the selection of q
candidate consplcuously qualified for the
place. Mr.. Thomas resided for two years
In Sweden, In the service Of the United
States. The records Of the Department Of
State show that he was an efficient officer.
He reads, writes and speaks the language
OF the country. At the suggestion OF
Federika Bremen he translated In 1865,
Victor Rydberg's remarkable novel, " The
Last Athenian," and has received the
thanks OF the late king and of his success
or for thus making known to great peo.
pie the literary achievements OF a remote
northern nation. Finally he has conduct
ed prosperous colony Of hardy Swedes
TO their new home In Maine. It is not,
then, as a stranger that he will appear
In Stockholm, but as the American best

better appointment.-Portland Advertiser.

THAT plank in the Ohio Republican plat
form calling for an extension of time IN
which soldiers may present claims Tor ar
rearage of pensions is an absurd one. Inc
war was ended nearly twenty years ago,
and all who had just claim against the
government have had ample opportunity
TO present the same. No doubt many oiu
soldiers are now feeling the effects OF ther
campaigning, who were apparently well
when they left the army We know the
ranks OF veterans grow thinner and more
wsvering, year by year, and that many fali
out from the effects Of terrible exposure al
the front or more terrible treatment in
southern prisons. The government can
afford to be generous to these men, but II
should also be Just to the present genera
ton which is not only to pay these pen
sion bills, but also TO iquidate the enor-
nous war debt. Liberal pensions may
well be given those who are feeble and IN
able to earn a livelihood; but there is no
reason why the government should give
money by the thousands Of dollars to men
who do not need II, when it Is by their
own option that the time set for the pre-
sentation OF their claims has passed by.
The pension bill is already too heavy
heavier than justice demands. II al the
fraudulent claims were weeded out, there
might be money LEFT for backpsy claims.

ceeded to capture trout enough for dinner.

better catch. FELIX.

A RECENT writer in the Century maya
zine says that the chief present cause OF
discomfort in Ireland and England grows
out OF the fact that the two peoples do not
understand one another. His argument
struck US forcibly as we read that chapter
In Guy Livingstone which we have pub
lished as a story, this week. A prominent
English novelist wrote this sensational
piece and ten editions Of the novel have
been issued by Harper Bros, New York.
II the tale was treating Of savages In
America or the East, it would not seem so
much out OF place. But to depict the
Irish peasants as guilty, In these days, of
such barbarity; such shocking ferocity;
such iendish blood thirstiness is too bad.
Indeed it Is. While such descriptions OF
this abused people continue popular in
England, no settlement of disputed ques-
tions can be effected. 1t Is worse than the
views formerly prevalent In this country,
between the northern and southern sec.
lions.

SOME New Yorker has kept record Of
suicides as they have appeared in the daily
papers for the past two years. Because
he noted sl7 cases in ISL, and l6O6 in
lss2, he argues that the practice has iu-
creased one hundred per cent. Such sta
tistics are worse than useless, and reason
ings based on them are groundlesS. In
one year the compiler may have been less
careful than in the other; increased facili-
ties for gathering news may have enlarged
the list, and some special conditions may
have led 10 an abnormal increase for the
second year. Only by carefully complied
statistics, running through series Of
years, can the fact in such matters, be as
certained. 1t is not surprising that six
teen hundred persons out of population
OF tifty million should vote life bore, and
end al with their own hand. Legislation
cannot prevent it, and it seems puerile to
attempt TO force man 10 remain in this
world after he has decided that il is worth
nothing 70 him or he to il.
