TORNADO DESTRUCTION.

To the Editor of the Globe:
According 10 official reports of the signal
service 1s4 people were killed By a tornado
on July 20, 1875, near Erie, Pa, and sixty-five
were killed by another at Marshfeld. Mo-,
April Is. 1880. Some of the 900 tornadoes re-
ported from 1894 to 1881 were almost as de-
structive.
In the bill now before the house of repre-
sentatives favoring the extension of the sig
nal service reports for the relief OF farmers,
It is proposed to forecast ''coId waves, rains,
storms and marked inclemencies of the
weather." The proposed system of predic-
ton involves only the usual methods.
Tomatoes require special attention and q
high degree of scientific accuracy for their
prediction. Danger signals ought TO be es-
tablished at telegraph stations not later than
April 1, 1885, otherwise many lives will be I'M
necessarily lost. WILLIAM A. EDDY.
Tornado Reporter, Signal Service. u. 5. A.

street.
Under the impression, and rightly, too,
that the GLOBE is read by more members
Of congress than any other newspaper in
the country, the tornado reporter of the
signal service has favored this paper with
number of communications recently of sim
liar import TO the above. Placing these
facts together we are led to the conclusion
that the signal service wants good. liberal!
appropriation from congress for the benefit
of the tornado bureau. and it relies on the
GLOBES influence with congress to secure
the appropriation. As we are fortunately
located in a section of the great West which
is outside the cyclone belt, and we know
nothing of the destructive effects of these
freaks of the elements except as we read of
their occurrences in the sections South and
East of rs which have been visited with
such horrible consequences by them, we are
not in condition to argue the proposition
with such force and pathOs as it ought TO be
presented. AT the same time we are will
ing to do our utmost in a good cause and
give Tornado Reporter EDDY the benefit OF
his appeal by publishing his letter.
While we are anxious to see danger sig
nails established throughout the country in
every section where a tornado is liable to
blow, what we are particularly interested in
is some scientific discovery whereby cy-
clone in congress can be fOretold. There
are quite a number of pent-up tOrnadOes in
the halls of congress which are liable TO
sweep forth at any time on course of de-
struction. 1t is said that not less than
dozen cyclones are hid away in the recesses
of the senate chamber. Mr.. EvARTs holds
the key to two of them. from which fact
the country can gauge the immensely of
them. Senator LOGAN sits astride a
simeon which is restlessIy tossing i'm IFS
anxiety to take swoop at EDMUNDs and
SHERMAN and knock them out of the presi
dental race. In the house the silver coin
age and tariff tied-up hurricanes can be
counted by the hundreds. What the coun-
try wants is tornado reporter for con-
gress.

DOwnaPreciDIce

New HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 19-The in
sane wife of Prof Waldo of Yale college
escaped from her keeper this morning and
no trace of her has yet been found. Recita-
tons at the college were suspended and the
students joined in the search She
was first missed about o'clock A
hasty search revealed the fact that the lady
had scantily attired herself in a wrapper
and with nothing but slippers on her feet
had left the house. BY O'Clock this after
noon nearly 600 students and at least 200
citizens were searching in all directions for
her. About 4 o'clock she was found at
Pine Rock a few miles from the Waldo
residence. AS the party approached Mrs.
Waldo was trying to ascend the
face Of the rock, which is
nearly perpendicular, and they called
to her to wait until they could come 10 her
assistance At that time she stepped on
the rock and fell headlOng down the preci-
pice, striking among the rocks at the feet
of her friends. She lived but few min
utes after being picked up. Mrs. Waldo
was 30 years OF age and leaves two young
children. 1t is thought that her insanity
dates from the birth of her last child, three
months ago. She was native of Phla-
delphia and niece of Judge Fullerton of
New York. TO-day's sad incident recalls
the attempted suicide of Mrs. Waldo's sister

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Political Barnncles.

To the Editor or the Globe:
What gall and NORWOOD the present atti-
tude OF the Republican senators toward the
administration must be TO that vast body of
Republicans who honestly believe in the
principles which they advocate. Is there any
need OF argument TO convince them Of the
utter absurdlty Of the position assumed?
How any man who pretends 10 even a remem-
brance of manhood can wish to retain an
Office which virtually places him in the posi-
ton of paid spy in the ranks OF the enemy,
Is one OF those IncOmprehensiOle things that
furnishes such a fair criterion of the class
of men the Republican party has kept in
Office for over twenty years, When the Dem
Ocrats came into power, il was supposed
that the Offices would be filed with men from
that party. How many Republicans thought
otherwise? II would be absurd TO imagine
that there was one who honestly believed
different Yet to-day is presented to the Re
publican party OF the country the humilatiug
spectacle OF this army OF office-holdings cling
ing to their places like barnacles to a ship.
If they were manly men they would resign.
II they were men OF principle would IL be
necessary TO remove themI There can be
but one answer. For years the Republican
party has placed in office wardworkers and
petty political strikers They used every
means known 10 their official position TO keep
their party in power. The mOlehill of cor
rOption grew into a mountain of malfeasance
in Office. To overthrow citadel garrisoned
as this was seemed an impOssibility. But in
their wild revelry amid the spOi.s of Office
these partisan Republicans grew reckless in
their mad defiance of the popular will. They
forgot the power behind the throne, and after
the long years of false promises TO reform,
the people repudiated them. But, did they
gog No. And to-day we have the leaders of
this party standing in the United States SEN
ate and assailing the chosen president of the
people for removing these scabs from the

TO healthy sores caused by fair defeat, would

They Profess Pleasure.
Special to the Globe.

special 10 the Globe.
LONDON, Feb. 19.-The ParneIlites are
putting very good face upon matters and
are expected to be perfectly satisfied with
Mr.. GladstOne's brief declaration of pro-
gram yesterday. Mr.. Parnell, who has
usually been very reticent, suddenly
became accessible to interyiewers
after the adjournment last night
and expressed himself freely in
appreciation of what Mr.. Gladstone had
said. 1t was evident that he wished to set
the key TO which his party should tune their
utteranceS. The apparent haste with
which he and other leaders of the party put
themselves on record in this respect NAV be
accounted for by the fact that they are de
termined not to break with Mr.. Gladstone so
long as there is any possible chance of get
ting the desired measures from him looking
toward partial separation. PanelrS Won
dertul patience has so often manifested
itself that it may be relied upon in the pres
ent eXigency. The only question is whether
he can Undue his followers with the
same degree of endurance and eau
ton. There is also the danger always
OF internal strife in the party, growing out
or rival ambitions, like those shown
in the O'Shea-Lynch case and this danger
increases with every daY that the practical
realization of at least some portion of the
Irish demands Is postponed. In this view
II would be confessed that the outlook is
less satisfactory for the browning of
Dir. PARNELL'S AMBITION
than it was day before yesterday and this
makes his courage all the more admirable
in declaring THAI Mr.. GladstOnes postpone
ment of home rule is justified by the neceS-
sites of the situation. Meanwhile the
Tories aSSail the poStpOnement as need
leSsly keeping the country in suspense and
agitation This is perfunctory
attitude. however, and is merely made on
the theory that the outs must aSSail the ins
on general principles. Several of the Irish
leaders have declared that they will not
obStruct parliamentary business so long as
Mr.. Gladstone seems to be acting in
good faith toward them. and this
being so, there is no reason why
somewhat delayed, should not be speedily
cleared up. and all the grumbling on this
account cease. There is one point, how
ever, which the Nationalist confess they
will not support Gladstone on. and this
is the matter OF amending the rules
OF the house so as To shut of
debate at the speakers pleasure
Mr.. Gladstone has been i'm favor of extend
ing the speakers power in this respect
ever since the defeat of some of his
tavorite schemes by Irish fill
clustering three years ago. but he
Is not likely to attempt To risk such
change IN the rules at this juncture, SO that
there seems 10 be no present danger of
a clash between him and his Irish adj
herentS.

THE CowRoY KrGINIESTs

The old Indian who declared that he
wanted cannon to kill cowboys. but for
soldiers would be content with good stout

when the intelligence reaches him that a
bill has been fayOrably reported for the
equipment of two cowboy regiments to fight
the Apaches of Arizona and New Mexico.
Without any disparagement to the courage
of either officers or men of the regular army.
this seems TO be the wiSest and most prac-
teal method of dealing with the problem of
Indian fighting. From the cumbrous
nature OF their equipment. il is
unfair TO expect soldiers even with
Spartan bravery in their makeup to com

! senate to attempt this gross misrepresenta-
! ton of the presidents position. The argu-
ment presented by the senate judiciary
committee. signed as it is by all the Repub-
lican members of that committee, but TO
which there is no Democratic senator's
name attached, would be a most excellent
argument If addressed to the British parlia-
ment, but is as much out of place in an
American congress as if il had been
addressed TO the governor of Tim
buctOO or TO the mayor of kal-
amaZOO. If the American cabinet
officers were the creatures of the American
congress there might be some relevancy in
the points made by Senator EDMUNDs In
the elaborate report of the senate judiciary
committee. This is only another evidence
of the tendency of the Republican leaders
to ignore the plain, simple forms Of demo-
cratic government, and to copy after the
stilted aristocTatic methods of English gov
enmeEt.
Mr.. EDMUNDs announces, with a good
deal of gustO, that after labOrious search
the committee fails to find precedent for
the position that the president takes
in this matter. Mr.. EDMUSDs might
have saved his committee a good deal OF
trouble, and have saved himself from good
deal OF ridicule il he had only recalled the
fact that this is the first time in the history
Of the government OF the United states
that political party refused 10 obey the
voice Of the people. when it was dethrOned
from power. There has never been an in
stance when a defeated party refused to
step down and out until the present I'M
precedented position taken by the Repub-
lican officehOlders. Ii is because there has
been no precedent for the hoggish DISPOSE
ton of the Republican OfficehOlders to
hold on to power after the people had
ordered their deposition that the president
finds himself in the exceedingly novel posi-
ton he occupies. OF course there is no
precedent for il, because there has never
heretofore occurred anything to neceSstate
the establishment of a precedent.
However much the subject may be CLOSED
over with sOphistry or however learnedly
and deliberately Mr.. EDMUNDs and his com
mittee may talk and write of matters which
have no direct connection with the case,
they cannot disguise from the public the
plain fact that the president is making a
manly and patriotic fight in behalf of
great constitutional principle. the preserva-
ton Of which is essential 10 the perpetuity
of free government in America.
