A Terrible Time on a Collingwood Line
Steamer.

ST. PAUL, MINI. August 29.
A Winnepeg special to the Pioneer Press
saws: ga terrible storm of cyclonic char
acter prevailed here last night, doing in,
calculable damage to property in towns
and villages throughout the province and
damaging crops 20 an extent not yet as
certained, although believed to be large.
/, The roof was wrenched off the Bay
stores and torn to pieces, damaging lr-
rounding buildings. A street-car with q
number of occupants was blown from
the track. A frame house and stable,
occupied by horses and owned by William
Burke, were carried into the river.
Not less than fifty buildings in the city
were damaged. Reports from twenty
points in the province show that the
storm was equally disastrous in all.
A special from Headingly, village fif-
teen miles southwest, says: large num-
ber of buildings suffered. Mr.. Francis
store was scattered over the prairie. Mr..
Taylor's dwelling was picked up and car
ried several rods before it struck the
ground, and was shivered into fragments.
The occupants had a narrow escape. The
English Church was strewn into frag-
ments in all directions. Mr.. Luxtent's
house was turned completely over, and a
barn on Mr. Coucheon's farm, measuring
thirty by sixty feet, was carried away.

months ago. They did threaten. WITH all
their might they strOvc 20 make the last Re-
publican revision rs bad as they could. Since

Rut This Democratic Congress has not Only

to increase the amount OF coinage and OF issues.
The nredcted speculation has come, and the
imitation of paper currency. and the exports OF
gold. and still Democratic Congress refuses 10

The Democrats who are controlling the pres
ont Do Nothing Congress have reason to pray
that something may occur to shield them from
responsibility for their own acts. II some
power could give them the grace, even at this
late day, to pass one or two wise financial meas
ures, it might help them materially. But they
have been in session nearly six months. In any
one week of all that time, had they pleased,
they could have put up barriers TO shield pro-
ductive industry from tho collapse Of excessive
speculation. Some measures of great Importance
have been passed by a Republican Senate. But
Mr.. Morrison and his associates, in a fit of wrath
because they cannot break down American in
dustry by destroying the tariff, seem determined
TO involve the country in trouble as far as they
can. in the hope that ignorant voters will ascrbe
all evils that may come, not to Democratic in
capacty or naction, but to Republican tariff.
The people are going to forget, these men
fancy, the marvellous growth and prosperity
which Republican tariffs have caused. They
are going to believe that the same protective
system under which the country was.so blessed
in 1879 and 1850 has suddenly become the
dreful spring of all our woes in 1884.

succeed so long us they treat the American peo-

The FLOW or IRISH IMMIGRATION.

At the solicitation of the Irish Catholic Colonial
ton Society, Cardinal McCloskey has established
the new mission of our Lady of the Rosary at
Castle Garden. The object of this is to secure for
Catholic immigrants the advice of priest who can
warn them against the dangers which In city Ike
this threaten the poor and innocent if unprotected
Father Rordau, who has charge Of the mission, IN
circular describing its aims, says that neither tho
Colonization Society nor the Cardinal has tho
slightest wish to increase the flow OF immigration
from Ireland to this country. Happily" he adds,
il seems now to have abated."
We think that few of the great host Of Irish
people who have come to this country have failed
TO better their condition. aud the decrease in imm-
grafton can hardly then be considered blessing to
the Irish race But it is certainly for the interest
of this republic that the stream OF poverty and
ignorance which has poured in such mighty
volume from the Irish boys and cabins should be
regulated and limited. Greater masses of such mate
rial AS is borne on this stream cannot be speedily so
moulded as to fit into our National life without
serious jar and friction. Father Riordan is
right from an American point Of view.
