The great storm which recently
swept over the Mexican Gulf, wreak-
ing its fury on the towns of the Tox-
as coast, but worst of all upon India
nola, has only followed in the track
of previous Gulf cyclones, and its
general history, save in mere details,
does not differ from that of the storms
which have visited that region in
former years. The most notable of
these was that of September 1875,
which swept over the same area as
the cyclone of 1886, causing great
loss of life at Indianola, carrying away
the United States Signal Station at
that place and causing the death of
the observer just as was done in the
storm of last week. A little study of
these Gulf cyclones will show that
they move in well defined paths va
rying but little from year to year
and perhaps from age to age, India
nola is in the midst of the cyelonio
river, which is usually wide enough
to reach Galveston on its north mar
gin and the mouth of the Rio Grande
on tho south. This storm path is
probably about four degrees of lati
tude broad, occasionally touching Mo
bile, New Orleans, Lake Charles, and
Morgan City, but these places never
get more than the edge of these
storms. Cyclones, both on land and
sea, follow accustomed paths and re-
eur at apparently irregular yet regular
intervals I; and the scientists have
discovered that each storm cradle ol
nursing place for tempests sends forth
its terrible offspring in regular cycles
In the absence Of a knowledge of the
laws Of storms it IS at least possible
to chart their courses ifnot to predict
their recurrence, Cities in the regular
storm tracks should expect them as
matter of course and prepare FOR
them. The people Of lndianola would
do we'll to move their city.

Neither the present nor the pros
pective timber supply of the world,
already greatly reduced by a century
of gross forest mismanagement justi-
fics any such loss as this country has
experienced during the last six weeks,
and it is now more than ever desirable
that the American people should en-
act in ever State sensible laws for the
protection of forest property, and
then make their enforcement possible
through just appreciation of the val
ue of the forest to the community.
Such laws without the backing of
public interest, are useless. The les
son which can be learned in the mis-
fortunes of Michigan and Wisconsin
should not be neglected.

The Cincinnati Exposition

Opens on September LIST, and closes Octo-
Der 9th. From the extensive arrangements
being made, this promises to be the most COM
prehensive and enjoyable entertainment of the
kind yet Held in this country. This great Ex-
position should be patronized literally by the
people of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.
Steamboat and railroad companies have all
offered reduced rates of transportation, and
the hotel transportations of Cincinnati are I'M
surpassed for comfort and reasonable charges.

hundred other attractions, is making the most
elaborate preparations to receive the thou
sands of guests who will visit her great au-

Political Nominations.

The Catholic Columbian uses the
following solid remarks in regard
to the modern practice of obtaining
nominations for office, and we are
certain they will find a cordial re-
Spouse from every reader, no mat
ter what his political opinions, and
they do not apply to oneparty more
than another:
There must be honesty inpolitics
as well as everything else. Boodlers
and Doodle practice must be stamp
ed down deep into the earth.
When fraud enters into compacts
it vitiates them, renders them null
and void and absolyes the parties
from the obligation of observing
them.
Therefore, if the nomination of
a candidate for public office has
been comprised by bribery, intim-
idation, and the violation of pledg-
es, it is not binding on the mem
bers of the party. 1t is worthless.
1t has no more force than if it had
never been made.
In case a politician resorts to
fraud to reach a nomination, he
wrongs the constituents of the dis
trict from which he seeks an cleo
ton; he Injuries the party to which
he belongs; he harms the whole
country. He wrongs the constitu-
ents of the district because he swim
dies them out of the right to choose
their representative according to
the law hat the will of the MAORI
ty shall prevail; he Injuries his par
ty because he impales it on the di-
lemma of condoning his crime or
allowing the opposition to win the
office he harms the whole country
because he undermines the princi-
pies on which it is founded.
Accordingly, should AN Office
seeker by fraud have obtained a
nomination, he ought to be invited
to withdraw. If he will not resign,
let him be defeated. Beat him, free
men, beat him, beat him beat him
at the polls; vote for his antago-
nist-an honest Republican is better
than a dishonest Democrat and a
Democrat Of integrity is preferable
to a corrupt Republican; destroy
him politically and bury him so
deep under an adverse majority
that there shall be for him no hope
of resurrection!

An important act was passed by
the Legislature on May 18th, which
will prove of interest to many who
have had the misfortune of being
burned out of their houses or hav-
ing them destroyed by a tornado.
The following is the law:
"The county auditor shall, when
ever after the second Monday in
April and before the first day in
October in any year, it is made to
appear by the oath of the owner,
or one of the owners of any bull
ding or structure, and by the aft
davit of two di%sinterested persons,
residents of the city Or township
in which such building or struc-
ture is, or was situated, that such
building or structure has been in
jured or destroyed by fire, flood,
tornado, or otherwise, since the
second Monday in April, of the
current year, deduct from the tax
list and duplicate, the value of
such building or structure, or such
part of the value thereof as shall
correspond to the extent of such
injury.

no doubt in the mind of an honest,
intelligent, patriotic citizen, and that
is. that when seventeen Senators out
of thirty-six, with a Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor, set themselves up as a quorum
of the body, Dust four members and
seat four others, when each and every
one of them knew that he was violat-
ing not only the spirit but the plain
letter of the Constitution, it is revo-
luton, for which there is neither de-
Tense or excuse. Granted that the
ousted members had defective titles
when these titles were legally inquired
into, that does not justify the violation
of the constitution. IL this is to be-
come q rule, all constitutional guaran-
tees become a nuliity, so that it will
come to pass that when n party does
a wrong for some political advantage,
another party will see that wrong
and go one better at the first opportu-
nifty. You younger men should see 10
it that every constitutional guarantee
is preserved inviolate, and not one OF
them is trampled under foot, ever
upon the %pretense that it is necessary
to do so to meet an exigency or right
a wrong. 1t is a fallacy to say thai
any othermethod than The plain meth
cd of the law may be resorted to safe
/ ly for any purpose or under any pre-
5 text, or that the constitution must b'
: violated for its own vindication. Un

compass"

HOW THE SOLDIERS WE'RE
ROBBED
by The Republican Patriots.

The Pittsburg Tribune furnishes
the following facts and figures,
which we know to be reliable, and
puts them in a shape SO plain that
any man may clearly understand
the villainy practiced upon the I'm
ion saviors in the dark days of the
rebellion:
"The highest point Of the Ma
tional debt was, Aug, 81, 1868, S2,-
S44, 629, 626.56 of which S 2,3Sf,520,-
294.O6 was interest bearing.
"On July 1, 1885, the total prin'
cipal was $1,S76,424,375.14, o.
which $1,26O,774,462 was interest
bearing.
During the period named there
has been paid more. thar $4,000,
100000 on account of the debt
and at least 5000, 900, 100000 (twt
hundred million dollars) more
than the principal was at first.
."In other words, by the paymen
of three thousand million dollar
the principal of the debt was re
duced about one thousand million
dollars. Where do we now stand
"The official statistics give tn
following as the export prices Q
commodities in the years named
in cents and fractions of cents.

A class of fellows whose patriot
ism and love of country, find gush-
ing vent through newspaper col
umns, pour out paens of praise to
the memory of our dead soldiers
and mourn over the green hillocks
made rich by the blood of heroes,
and we have often wondered when
perusing such ebillutions, why it
was that the dead men did not rise
from their graves, and shake their
bony fingers at the ghouls who now
sing patriotic songs to their mem
cries, but when the battles ragged,
stole commissory stores from sick
and dying, and by such conduct
consigned many a brave heart to a
soldiers grave, who with proper
care might have recovered from the
wounds or disease and be now liv-
ing!
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1886-07-22

"Now, to have paid the principal
of the debt in 1865 as it stood then
in flour at the price flour was then,
it would have required 273,156,000
barrels. To have paidthe principal
in 1885 as it stood then in -four at
the price flour was then, it would
have required 3S3,17S,000 barrels.
In other words, it would take no.
100000 more barrels of flour to
pay the principal of the debt now
than it would to have paid it in
full in 1865. 1t would take 1903,
100000 bushels of corn to
pay the balance unpaid than it
would to have paid the whole in
1865. 1t would take over 100000
600 more bushels of wheat to pay
it now than then. q
"Without taking time to figure
or the space to publish EACH in de-
tail, the figures are given from
which any child in school in the
mathematical class can figure out
how much moreo of anycommodity
it would require to pay the balance
of the debt now after paying three
thousand million dollars on it than
if it had been paid at once in 1865
ave may.add, however, that il
would take at least 1S5,00o,00(
more tons of coal, 100000 more
tons of bar iron, 100000. NOR
bales of cotton, 100000 barrels O
beef, to pay the balance now thar
it would have taken to have pait
the whole debt in 1865. Are tn,
figures not plain?" The smaller tn
debt grows the more it swallows
and this by that sleight-of-han'
process called "gold standard AM
contrartion."

The Ohio Patriot, one of the old
est and most reliable Democratic
papers in the State, takes a glance
at the political situation and says
"Ohio has been taken from the
Democracy only for a short time.
Our friends have it in their power
to redeem the state this fall, and all
the work they need to do is to hitch
up their horses and drive to the
polls. Foraker and his rump legisla-
ture do not satisfy the people by a
long shot. In fact, the Republican
party has become distasteful to the
masses because gifts duplicity. The
people want frankness and honesty

Fraud renders void an election,

The Dow law is a sort of a black
mail law. 1t acknowledges that the
sale of liquor is an evil, yet allows
a man to commit the evil if he pays
for the privilege. Why didn't they
call it a bill to create revenue? Re
venue is The object. No honest man
expects that it will have any effect
on the sale of liquor. A drink of
whisky will contain as many in
toxicating properties as ever, and
there will be just as many drinks
sold.
