will aim TO be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to Il newspaper.
The value of a newspaper is not IN its size or
display. but in the intelligence and care the
conciseness and freshness with which 1t Is
edited. THE TIMES spends layishly for news
from all parts Of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed. in
order to give the complete news Of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape. and with
it d large variety Of entertaining and instruc-

TIE WEEKLY TIsEs is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers of twenty years
ago. The day Of those papers have gone by.
The telegraph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
Of rural population, have made the Old weekly
metropolitan newspaper uneatisfylng. Those
that cling To their ancient usages have lost
their hold on our mountaineering people. they
are but shadows Of their former greatness and
they have but shadow Of their former power
Those papers have had their usefulness bur it
is gone: and, with it, they are going too If
was not the fault of the papers: IL was the i'm
proyemenr of the country that brought about
the change. Men and women, wherever thev
live. now require fresher news; and they re-
Quire more than news.

Senator Vest, of Missouri, on
being asked by an interviewer what
he thought of the nomination of
Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks. said: at
was a very good choice and gave ad-
ditional strength to the ticket. It
was as near as we could get to the
old ticket. | do not think the ticket
could be improved upon. They say
that Cleveland is unknown; he is
as well known as Tilden was when
be ran, il not better. Then the OBJ
objection has been raised that he
was never sent to congress; Mr..
Iilden was never sent to congress.
The fact is that Mr.: Cleveland's re-
cord shows that he is made of the
proper material for a good president.
He has shown that he has fine exec
utive ability and that he will be a
credit to the nation. He has work
ed himself up to where he is by tie
force of his own ability-from She
if up TO governor-and he is a man
whom the democracy can and viii
support most heartily"

Mr.. Blaine will have a chance to
turn himself loose and comb the hair
of the "grand old party on August
18th. As dispatch from Farming

party was first organized and chris
tened in Strong, Me-, August 7, 1854,
by a union of the wings, free soilers
and temperance democrats A few
days later a convention in Minneso-
ia adopted the same name. The re-
publicans of Strong met the other
evening and made preliminary ar
rangements for suitable celebra-
ton of the party's birthday, August
Z. 1t is expected that nearly all the
survivors of that famous convention

fed his intention to attend."

CAIRO, February 20.--The storm yester-
day did no damage here, although the
velocity OF wind at one time was sixty
miles an hour. At Metropolis it blew
down about forty houses, including one
church, and injuring several peopole, but
as far as learned, not fatally. Among the
injured are Capt. J. C. Wallis, who had his
leg broken, Reports are very meaGer. 1t is
also reported that several were supposed to

safe here f n the night; and not the slight
est doubt is expressed but that Cairo will
pull through all right. The severe storm
OF yesterday, besides what has been mem
toned to-day, ALSO destroyed eighteen
houses at Bird S Point, Mo- .loss about 5000.
It also knocked three off their founda-

Disastrous Floods In SOuIheru Califor-
INSTRUMENTATION in All DirecIiOns.


SAN Francisco, February 20.-Owing to
heavy rain storm, telegraphic communi-
cation has been interrupted with South
ern California since Sunday night. Los
Angeles dispatches, received last evening
ria Deming and Ogden, state that the dam
in Los Angeles river broke Sunday even
ing, producing the most disastrous flood
ever experienced. The lower portion of
the city is completely inundated. Hun
dreds OF families were obliged to abandon
their homes and seek shelter in the hills.
Forty buildings were washed away. Loss,
Sl50,000. From Los Angeles to Mojave,
distance of 100 miles, hardly mile of the
Southern Pacific track remains intact.
East to San Gorgonio, eighty miles, the de-
vastation is equally great. The California
Southern, from Cotton to San Diego, is
washed out. Traffic in all directions is
suspended. 1t will probably be two
months before communication is properly
re-established. Reports from towns in the
southern portion of the San Joaquin val
ley announce the heaviest flood ever
known in that section.
Later.-Telegraphic and mail facilities
to the southern counties are still inter-
rupted. and only communication r5d Kan
sas City is full Gangs of repairers have
been ordered out, but it is not expected
that the lines will he in working order be-
fore Friday. No further particulars have
been received OF loss of life or property.
The heavy rains and floods were confined
to the southern sections of the State. The
middle and northern sections have not
suffered as yet. The prospects for an ex-
eellent wheat crop in the great grain
producing sections of the State were never
better than at present.
