GOSHEN, July Especial. THE devastat-
ing effects of the Edwardsburg cyclone have
not been told yet. The cloud struck the town
and completely demolished the western por-
ton. 1t was accompanied with very little rain
and lasted only short time. The town is a
small summer resort on one of our northern
lakes and had just been made proud by a brand
new hotel, which the storm completely wrecked
Pleasure boats upon the lake were lifted out of
the water and carried far inland. Scarcely a
store front is left in the village, while the rear
untouched Barns out-houses, fences and
trees without number were blown away.
Strange to say no lives were lost and but few
people injured. This is the first thing of the
kind that has yet visited this portion of the
state

A Hard Blow at High Tariff.
Philadelphia Telegraph-rep.l
=. e Il - - =. e ....4 ..-n..A. u.rnn

One of the most significant events since the
adjournment of the Chicago convention is the
final detection from the party of the leading
republican paper of Rhode Island.
Published in the very center of New England
manufacturing industry, at the home of the ex-
tremest protectionist views, it squarely takes
issue with the party to which it has belonged
for quarter of century, not upon personal
grounds as to the candidates, but on the great
question of tariff reform. This is the point
upon which attention must be conferred; this is
the real and startling significance OF this jour
nalistic detection 1t is bolt from clear sky;
it is hard blow at the high tariff policy, at a
time and in place where its effect must be
most seriously felt

Soldiers for Cleveland.

Hartford CRY, July 4-[special. THE
Dakota liar seems to to be getting in his work
to the indianapolis Journal and other repubii-
can papers in exaggerating republican ratifca-
ton meetings and the enthusiasm for the ticket.
Notwithstanding, Hiram Brownlee "shot as he
thought" and said "this was a campaign of the
blood of the soldier against the see of the cop
perhead," Samuel Cassell, Samuel Turner
and Samuel Cole, three old soldiers and life
long republicans, are out strong for Cleveland
and Thurman. Now the republicans say that
the pension boards are run in the interest of
the democratic party There have been more
pensions granted in the last ninety days than in
any one year Of any republican administration,
ana the work goes bravely on.

A Murderous Attack on an Editor.

EVANSVILLE, July 4-[Speeial. l-Informa-
fion has reached here from Mt Vernon of an
attack upon A. A. Sparks, editor of the Demo-
crot, by Bidge DuckwOrth. 1t is reported that
D6ekworth slipped up behind Sparks and
struck him over the head with club, fractur-
ing the skull and probably inhicting a death
wound. The would-be assassin escaped to the
woods. The town was thrown into commO-
tion, and in less than twenty minutes a mob OF
a hundred or more citizens was organized and
started in pursuit. Up to midnight they had
not captured the criminal. The assault results
from the arrest of a Mrs. Williams of Mt.
Vernon, who was charged with openinga letter
addressed to her sister and written by Duck
! worth. She claimed that the letter was unfit
for Der sister to read, and destroyed it, and this
reaching Duekwortll's ears he had her ar
rested for opening mail not addressed TO her.
Mrs. Williams was brought to Evansville for
hearing and was accompanied by Sparks. When
the particulars of the sensational affair APP
Peared in the Evansville papers next morning
DuckwoTth charged Sparks with giving the
information to the press, and Notwithstanding
the latter's denial Duekworth swore ven

temptible outrage was perpetrated here last
night. A prohibition meeting was advertised
to take place at the new band stand on the
public square, to be addressed by the Rev. Mr..

dozen eggs at the speakers, the most of which
struck the stand, although one of them hit a
lady, within the stand upon the arm, wounding
her quite severely. One or two gentlemen
who were in the audience were also struck.

ventilated Ben HarrisOn's senatorial record,
which was highly interesting. This was one of
the best democratic demonstrations ever held

Democratic Policy.

INtW IOIk oIaf
The surplus, and the peril of that surplus,
inspired the prominence which the president
gave in his annual message to the necessity for
a reduction of the sum of federal taxation. He
declared to congress that the taxes must be
diminished because of the dangerous surplus.
The st. Louis convention said that the re-
manning surplus should be obliterated in a
way, first to cheaper the necessities of life,
and next, to aid and benefit our manufacturers
and farmers by untaxing the imported raw ma
terials which are to be used by our manufac-
turers.
That is democratic policy.

The Republican Policy.
Ipnrt -nict,nfnh l

The republican party, always eager to pro-
tect home industry, and especially the labor OF
coupon clipping, promptly repealed the in
come tax soon after the war. and left the bur-
den of our debts, expenses and pensions rest
ing on the ''mud-sills of society,"" The incomes
thus protected have since fallen into the very
bad habit OF going to Europe TO be expended
there. But the republican party could not be
induced to keep a part of those incomes at
home by means Of an income tax. Like the
whisky tax, an income tax would help to
tighten the taxation which absorbs much of the
purchasing power of the laboring mans wages,
and the republican doctrine is that such alb
sorntion is a nrotection 10 lnhor
