THE SOUTHERN STATES.

| recognize, not without regret, the ne
cesSity TOR speaking Of two sections Of our
common country. But the regret diminish
es when | see that the elements which sep
arated them are fast disappearing. Preiu-
dices have yielden and are yielding, while
agrOwing coTdiality warns the southern
and the northern heart alike. Can any one
doubt that between the sections coniid ence
and esteem are TO day more marked than at
any period in the sixty years preceding the
election of President Lincoln This is the
result in part of Republican princIple ap-
piled under the favorable conditions OF uni
formity. 1t would be great calamity to
change these influences under which south
ern oommonwealths are learning to vIndi-
cate civil rights, and adapting themselves
to the conditions of political tranquility
and industrial progress. If there be occa-
sional and violent outbreaks In the south
against this peaceful progress, the public
opinion of the country regards them as eX-
ceptional, and hopeful trusts that each will
prove the last
The south needs capital and occupation
not controversy. As much as any part of
the north, the south needs the full protec
tiOn of the revenue laws which the Repub
lican party offers. Some of the southern
States have already entered upon a career
OF industrial development and prosperity.
These at least should not lend their cleo
toral vote TO destroy their own future.
Any effort TO unite the southern States
upon issues that grow out of the memories
of the war will summon the northern States
10 combine in the assertion of that nation
ality which was their inspiration in the CIV
il struggle. And thus great energies which
lie united in a common industrial develop
ment will be wasted in hurtful strife. The
Democratic party shows itself foe to
southern prosperity by always invoking and
urging southern political consolidation
Such policy quenches the rising instinct
of patriotism in the heart of the southern
youth lit reyIves and stimulates prejudice :;
il substitutes the spirit of barbaric ven
geance for the love of peace, progress and
harmony.

DEL RIO TEX, May 2.
A cyclone from the west struck this town
Wednesday evening between six and
seven o'clock. The approach OF the storm
was heralded by an immense semi-circle
of coppcr-colored clouds and deep sui
len BOOM The approach Of the storm
was so rapid that no precautions could
be taken, and the town being composed
mainly of light wooden buildings wonld
have suffered severely had the
vortex struck it, The air was heavy,
close and sulphurous, and the
lightning was ncessant. The streets
were filled with men, women and children
and they were tossed and turned in all
directions. The new Episcopal Church,
the Southern Pacific saloon and num-
Der OF small cabins were completely
swept away. Many other buildings were
twisted out Of shape. There were five
persons severely injured, and one,
Charles Schnack, killed. Many remark
able escapes are recorded. The full
fury OF the wind may be imagined when
it is stated that heavy train of thirty
eight stock cars was rushed down the
track at lightning speed, although the
brakes were on, and two were blown
clear off the track. The northern portion
of the town, which suffered most, pre-
sents terrible appearance. Bishop Ell

All the shopmen, swtchmen and brake
men of the Union Pacific Company left their
work this morning, and are now out ona

completely blocked, and nothing is being
done. The strikers are quiet, but deter
mined and hopeful, and think that the
difficulty will be settled within twenty
four hours. A large crowd of men are
now gathered around the Union Pacific
Depot and insist that no trains shall go
out. The dummy train to Council Bluffs
started with two cars this morning, but
upon returning to this city
THE STRIKERS ORDERED
that one car be cut off, which was done
The trains west will leave with u mail
car, no baggage or passenger cars being
allowed to go out. AT Summit, two
miles west OF this city, the strikers have
possession of the switches, and refuse to
let any trains in or out. II is thought
that the company will soon give In, but

any information as TO what course they
propose to pursue. Fully $4,000 men VIII

The Union Pacific strike is a thing OF

known in America, but instead there
came a general order reading as follows;
