The New York World and the New York
Sun, are both pseudo Democratic papers.
Whenever we glance at their editorial columns
certain questions arise pertinent to theirpres-
ent and future status which we are unable to
answer, but, on which probability will per-
haps shed some light. These questions arc
Was it not the detection of the Sun towards
the Democratic party, in the presidential
campaign of 1884. that aided the World in
obtaining its phenomenal circulation, and sent
it up, like a rocket, into the hundreds of thou
sands? And, will not the present detection
of the World, towards Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration bring down the World like stick,
and in turn send up the circulation of the Starr
which is the only metropolitan Democratic
Journal?

High wind-Heavy Rains-Deep SHOWS ant
Intense Cold.

A furious wind storm prevailed in the Mid
die Atlantic region and the Eastern States
during Thursday night and Friday of last
week. In various portions of Virginia and in
Washington and Maryland, houses were un-
rooted, signs demolished, windows smashed,
and trees blown down. In Washington the

buildings were unroofed and signs blown
down. In Harrisburg, Pa, houses were un.

trees, fences, signs and awnings were blown
down, stable in brooklyn was partly demol-
ished, and canal boat on the river was sunk
with 200 tons of coal. The wind velocity was
velocity of 81 miles an hour was reached and
the temperature fell to four degrees above
zero. At Boston there was q furious blizzard,
blocking several streets with fallen telegraph
wires, and at Portland, Maine, twenty inches
of snow fell, stopping all business. At St

heaviest of the season, and the wind velocity
so miles an hour. Throughout the region

ito Seymour, was blown from Lake Shore
Railroad train, between Erie and Dunkirk,
New York, on Thursday night She at
tempted to pass from the dining car to the
sleeper with her husband, and had no sooner
stepped upon the platform than she was car
ried swiftly off the train. Her husband barely
escaped following her. The train was stopp-
ed and backed for nearly mile before they
found the lady, who had escaped death, but
received deep cash over her left temple.
She was taken to a hotel in Dunkirk.
Another cold wave prevailed throughout Can
ada. The heaviest snow storm of the season
ragged at Quebec on Friday and Saturday.

Enlarged Powers for Commissioners.

The ADVOCATES suggestion as to enlarged
powers for County Commissioners, which met
with general appreciation throughout the state,
has assumed tangible shape to some extent,
in bill for that purpose, introduced by Mr..
Ireland, of Anne Arundel county. The bill
has been reported favorably and has been
read first time in the House. 1t is good as
far as it goes, but could be amended to better
cover the purposes intended. For instance,
Commissioners should have the power to re-
move as well as appoint. when appolntees
prove incompetent or dishonest. They should
have the power to issue bonds in the event OF
the destruction of county buildings, or disas-
irons foods that wash roads and carry away
bridges, &c.
Following is Mr.. Ireland's bill

Municipal Elections in New York.

New York, March 3.-In the charter cleo
ton at Elmira yesterday John B. Stanch6eld,
Dem, the former law partner of Gov. Hill,
was elected mayor over the Rev. Thomas k.
Beecher, brother of the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, who was the Republican and pre- hibi-
ZIONIST candidate, by 708 majority. Two years
ago the Republicans elected Henry Flood
mayor by s73 majority. Mr.. Beecher has
preached in Elmira for thirty years, and a
committee of sixty of his church members
worked for him at the polls. The council,
which was two thirds Republican, will now be
two-thirds Democratic.
At Utica the majority for Kinney, the Dem
ocratic candidate for mayor, is POI. The
common council is composed of nine Demo
Gratis and four Republicans. and the county
board of supervisors stands twenty -four Dem
ocrats to eighteen Republicans.
At Ithaca the Democrats elected the presi-
dent and three of the board of Trustees, a
gain of one trustee over last year. This
gives the Democrats control of the board for
two years. They also elected all their other
candidates except for collector.

One Year of Democratic Rule.

The Baltimore Sun of Thursday says =
President Cleveland completed the first year
of his term yesterday, and with the exception
of few soreheds in the Senate, the people Of
the United States are very well satisfied with
his management of affairs. He brought in
changes of policy which have been generally
approved. He caused public Office to be rec
ognised as public trust to an extent hardly
known before during the past thirty years.
The land -grabbers of the West, the cattle
kings and others have been compelled to re-
tire from public the domain and obey the laws.
The great corporations have not had the gov
eminent under their control as in former
years, and with regard to number of them
steps have been taken to restrict or end their
depredations upon the general body of citi-
zens. Having spent the year in elevating the
tone of official life, PRECEDENT Cleveland very
naturally closes it with refusal to lower the
dignity of the presidency by abandoning part
of its functions to the Republican majority OF
the Senate.

near Washington. Ca, was bitten in the lip
by stray dog. The wound healed very quick

Friday, 10Th of February, the boy was attack
ed. by very slight commissions. They grew
more violent. and on Sunday he said to his
mother. ''This is the day for me to go mad. :"
And he did go mad. The commissions in
creased until il was necessary to tie him to
the bed. He frothed at the mouth and
snapped at everything that came near him.
Late that night he died, after intense suffering.
