TORNADO LITERATURE

Now that the subject Of tomatoes is of
more or less interest to the general public
we are able to show by official figures that
the people Of Dakota have less cause for
alarm on their own occount than those
living in other states. The signal service
office at Washington has published q
number of papers on the tornadoes which
occurred during the year 1884. They re-
port tie number of storms in the various
states AZ follows: Georgia. 38; South
Carolina, 90; Alabama, IS; North Carolina
IL; Kansas, IL: Iowa, 10; Wisconsin, 10;
Dakota, s.; Kentucky, 4; Mississippi. 7;
Texas, 5: New York, S; Ipdiana, Il Chic,
8; Missouri. 3; Minnesota, 3; Pennsyi-
vania, 2; Arkansas. .; Nebraska, 2; Color
ado, 2; Tennessee, q; Illinois, /; Indian
Territory, 1; Louisiana, l.
The following observations were also
made: The rotary movement of the
whirling tornado clouds is in 96 cases as
against the hand Of clock, and in six
cages probably moYing with the hands Of
clock.
Electrical discharges Eere observed in
so cases occurring in the clouds surround
ing the tornado or cloud. that is, 10 tho
clouds near the horizon, and in q cases
as oc. urrlng in the funnel cloud.
The width of the path Of obstruction,
supposed to embrace the distance between
the areas Of sensible winds on the two
sides Of the tornado cloud. varied in
GO cases from. 10000 TO 1890 feet, the
average being l.O37 feet. The length Of
the tornado track, as reported in 81 cases
varied from to 130 miles, the average
being 39.I miles. The velocity Of lro'
gr, SIS of tornado cloud, as determined
from the reports in II cases, varied from
Is to so miles per hour, the average beina
AZ miles. The shortest time occupied b,
tornado cloud in passing given point
varied from an instant to abouG minutes,
the average being about IS seconds.
The state in which the greatest number
Of tornadoes occurred is Georgia, fol-
lowed by South Carolina and Alabama
/ the month in which ihe largest naiI5si
of tornadoes occurred is February, ye,
this did not indicate that it was the month
of greatest frequency, because there were
only two days out Of the entire month on
which these storms occurred. The month
OF greatest frequency, that is, the month
embracing the largest number OF days on
which tornadoes occurred, is July.
The papers say that more than 1000
building we're destroyed, and give numer-
ous instances where many we're blown
| down.
The most extensive tornado was in Min.

injustice, and an injustice which will
undoubtedly be speadily remedied in
conformity to law. Admitting the
truth of the report, it does not justify
the cause adopted by the boomers.
That is revolutionary and subversive
of all law and authority. 1t is one of
the many exhibitions of lawlessness
and characterization which are getting
TO be SO common in our land and
which threaten SO much danger TO our
government.
And that those men who have been
sent to Topeka to make our laws
could give even a tacit approval to
snch high handed resistance to legally
constituted authority S one of the
strange things of these strange times.
Ii is another evidence of the light esti-
nation in which laws are held by the
Lawmakers. When legislators give
sanction to law-breaking can they ex.
pect obedience TO laws they themselves
enact. LAW j. ORDER

SENS IBLE.

The boomers are taking the wrong
course at their meetings in censurIng
the president for their expulsion from
Oklahoma The fact is, under the law
the president had no discretion in the
matter. 1t is well for the boomers 10
keep up the agitation, but il ought to
be wisely directed, and the direction
BY which the most will be attained il
TO move on congress. Let the meet
ings everywlare in behalf Of the BOOM
ers, petition congress to open Oklaho-
ma to white settlement, aud the right
step will be made toward accomplish
ing more than by raiding the territory
in defiance of law and censuriDg the
authorities for maintaining the law

A SELFISH HOWL

Some of the Democratic papers, IN
Republican counties, are bowling over
a bill introduced into the Legislature,
relative to county printing. The bill
is denounced ~ infamous. II thai
bin is infamous So Is the law govern
ing the state printing. he iunda-
mental ideas of both are exactly the
same. IL is simply to get best work
and widest circulation for fair pay.
The law fixes the price of printing,
saws what il is worth, both as to coun-
ties and state. The law says so far As
the state printer is concerned, he shall
be elected by the legislature, but he
must do the work at the price fixed,
and that the state officers shall desig-
nate the official paper of thh state but
that such paper can only receive the
price fixed by law. Now all the new
bill proposes to do is TO put the coun-
~ printing on the same basis. The
law already fixes the price, this new
bill says the commissioners shall dcsig-
nate the official paper in the same
wav that the state officers designate
the state official paper. The state
long since found out that the contract
principle was swindlc, and so it is a
10 counties The commissioners under
the new law designate the paper-it
they do their sworn duty-that
would give the widest circulation and
get the best work The bill is in the
interest of the tax payers aud against
snide concerns whose work would not
be even worth thu price asked.

TOO GENEROUS.

The Leaycnworth Times says when
il comes 20 the state COW doctor and
the sorc-mouth commission, il has
nothing TO say as TO whether they
shall be retained or not, but leaves
the whole matter with the representa-
tiyes from the central and western
portions of the state: because. they.
coming from the cattle districts, ought
to know. We object and file protest
The loot and mouth commission and
state COW doctor were created IN com
pliance with demand coming from
eastern portions of the state. The
governor who called the extra session
was an eastern Kansas cattle raiser.
The doctor appointed state veterinary
surgeon was "a Leayenworth man, and
so on. The west ANT got anything,
never had. and now she don't wani
