This is striking illustration Of the
benefits, iii monetary point of
view, of ignorance. Alabama, with
population Of l,262 ,jO5, gets nearly
double the money which New York
State, with population of 5,OS2, oIl,
will receive. South Carolina, with a
population Of less than l,OUO,0OO, re-
ceives over 100000, while Kansas.
whose population Is almost exactly the
same, gets less than $4,000. Georgia,
with 100000 people, gets nearly So
100000: but TO Michigan, with popula-
ton 100. coo greater. is given but about
three quarters of million. Kentucky,
with l.Gio 900, receives - 1880, while
Iowa, with 1.62+ 600. gets but $4,000.
Florida, with $500 souls, draws $3.50
"A; yet Vermont. with 32,OOO people,
will be given only Sl95.425. tennessee
has ], 542 600 people, and gets x5,0OO,0OO.
Pennsylvania has 4,2s2,0OO population
and will receive $2,SO0,0CO, and so on.
No more striking commentary upon the
condition and Characterization of the diff
fsrent States Of this Republic than that
presented by these figures could be made.
Tie presence Of the colored people at
the South in considerable degree ac-
counts for this great disproportion of
tllIfsraev. lint AVIAN War. f,av alimip
ated, the contrast would be startling.
IL Is the direct result of II system now
happily blotted out forever.

A private letter received 10y n resident
OF this city yesterday. from Senator
Delphi. of Oregon says, relative To the
proposition to place foreign lumber on
the free list, Il do not think II at all
probable that any legislation affecting
the tariff will be had at this session of
Congress" Senator Dolph further says,
Il should be very reluctant To favor any
tariff legislation that would injuriously
affect so important an enterprise OF the
Pacific Northwest as the numbering
business" There is doubtless no dan
ger that the Morrison bill, or any other,
which involve, extended changes in the
present tariff law will bee made, The
only danger is that some item may be
slipped through. attached To another
bill. and in the press of legislation near
the close Of the session be unperceived
by the kepres, natives Of the North
West

SENktlESA OklAHS.

While the Democratic majority In the
House Of Representatives. IL doing its
best to commit political hari kar by
fooling with the tarltl. measures OF vast
benefit and urgent public necessity are
compelled to await the prolonged dis
oussion which will inevitably take place
when the Morrison bill comes before
the House for passage. 1t has long been
apparent that the bill oonld hardly pass
the House. Ii is absolutely certain OF
defeat in the Senate. Its advocates have
already by pressing its consideration ut
the present session of Congress-, reduced
To minimum, il they have not abso
iutely destroyed the chances OF the
Democratic party for success IN the I'M
pending Presidential election. Still
with a faulty absolutely inexplicable,
the 40 called tariff reformers insist
upon AN opportunity to air their rhet-
oric in the columns of the congressional
Gio6e, while nearly the whole country
including large proportion OF their
own party, are looking at the situation
with ill concealed disgust and appre-
hension.
Meanwhile, M has been said, measures
Of great Importance. and the enactment
Of which is most earnestly demanded
by the people, wait for this tariff non
sense to vacate the way. The Commit
tee on Public Lands has reported favor
ably to the House several bills propos-
ing forfeiture of many millions OF acres
of unearned land grants to railroad
corporations. When the tariff bill ls
disposed of these can be called up for
discussion and action. but not before.
II is thus made stumbling block, u bar
to necessary legislation. The enactment
Of laws forfeiting these unearned public
lands would not only be an act of just
zoe. and i'll compliance with the clearly
expressed desire of the public, but it
would, rs u political measure, be- II very
strong card for the Democratic party.
But for the ignorance and stupidity of
the tariff reform leaders most of these
land grant bills would ere this have
passed the House. and the Senate, which
il Republican. would have been placed.
80 to speak, lin the DOOR II would
have been compelled to shoulder the
charge Of being owned ard controlled
by railroad corporations. or on the
other hand, forced To pass the forfeiture
bills. In the face of Presidential
election the dilemma would have been
embarrassing. The Democrats have by
allowing this tariff business to usurp
the place of necessary legislation only
played into the hands OF the monopo-
lists and as usual aided the Republicans
by refusing to press the forfeiture ques-
ton up N their consideration. How
ever much confidence the public may
still retain in the honesty of purpose
inherent in the Democratic majority. 1t
is fast losing all reliance In the intelli-
Cence Of its leaders. who always fail to
appreciate and lay hold of an opportu-
uity for partisan or public advantage.

Cyclone in Ohio.

DAYTON. March pa desruc-
tive wind storm visited this
section this evening at 6 O'Clock.
The principal damage was done east
OF the city, and from Spring Valley
it is reported that the house and
barn of Samuel Bunkles was blown
down. No loss Of life is reported,
but everywhere the wind was very
destructive.
Further details confirm first re-
ports of the damage done. Six
miles south of the city the destruc-
ton was most general and frightful
Mr.. Rinersan, who was on a Pan
handle passenger train, gives a Thrill
ling account of it. He had seen a
cyclone once before and at once rec
ognized in it the peculiar form OF
clouds. IL was in the shape OF a
balloon and almost entirely white,
surrounded by dense black clouds
1t first appeared in a southwesterly
direction from Lebanon and passed
rapidly to the northeast. Its track
is most marked in the vicinity of
Oak Ridge on the narrow gauge,
where a whole forest had been level
ed and buildings razed. The rail-
road was blockaded by fallen tim
ber5 and trains delayed. Near Oak
Ridge a house, barn and other out
buildings, belonging to Thomas An
derson, were blown quite a distance
and a farm hand named Charles
Cowles was carried a distance OF 200
feet. The path of the cyclone Is es-
timated at 80 yards in width, and
the forests show where it rose from
the earth and descended again. In
such places it had almost serpen-
tine trail. On the Lebanon Pike 1t
passed between a house and barn
belonging to William "opens, bat,
being up high, did little damage.
Intelligence has been received that a
little daughter of a farser, Abram
Wilson, was crushed under the tim
bers of a barn near Oak Ridge The
full extent of the damage has not
yet been heard from, aud other loss
of life is expected.
