The tornado which destroyed Washing
ton Court House in Ohio on Tuesday
evening was the severest storm of ITS kind
that has visited this country during ten
years, unless. indeed, the one that swept
over Grinnell. Iowa, in 1882 was more
violent The loss of life in Ohio is not
known, but the number of houses destroyed
is about 400. In Grinnell 100 buildings
were shattered. 1t may be noted. too,
that this tornado comes exceptionally late
in the year, Judging by the way such dis
turbances have run heretofore yet Just a
year ago Wednesday three tornadoes swept
over as many different parts OF the North
west. Hurricanes. cyclones and lorna,
does have not been scientifically studied
long enough to allow positive conclusions
to be drawn from what data we have; but
apparently it is rare for tornadoes to oc-
cur late in the season, and when they do
they are most destructive.

Secretary McCulloch believes the
business depression has touched bottom. A
special dispatch from Washington TO tho
Chicago Tribune says:
Secretary McCulloch states that he has been
misrepresented In reference to the business
depression. The Secretary says he has not ex-
pressed the opinion that greater depression is
to be expected. On the contrary. he thinks
that every indication points to better times
unless Congress is guilty of some grave error.
In reference to the revenues, he does not think
that the increase of the debt in November and
December can be repeated The revenues
for January will be greater than for either
of the preceding months, and February will
doubtless show a more pronounced improve
ment The change for the better in the
revenues, as in the business of the country. will
be very gradual, and will probably date from
the LIST Of January. when the depression reached
it's worst. The agitation of the silver question,
and long delay and uncertainty as to the course
to be pursued would lead to a boarding Of gold

Congressman manifest disposition
to settle the Oklahoma question finally, either

that I'm his opinion, It was right that intruders
SHOULD be kept our of the Indian country by
force Of arms If necessary. Oklahoma was
small tract of few hundred thousand
acres, surrounded on all sides by Indian res
ervations. There was no civil law there, and
collisions would almost inevitably occur be-
tween the Indians and whites. If the tract
was TO be opened to settlement the way
should be prepared by the enactment of
proper laws.
