To Reduce the Surplus.


New York World.
The true inwardness of the direct tax
bill, happily defeated for this year, is re-
vealed in the bitter accusation OF a Re-
publican organ that ''the Southern
brigadiers didn't want the surplus re-
duced." 1t will be to the lasting credit
of the Democratic members if they shall
defeat every raid on the treasury made
for the sole purpose of reducing the subj
plus and preventing reduction in the
war tariff. They cannot do the country
or their party a greater service than thiS5

Depew.s Advice to Young Orators.

The best thing for young man who
desires to become q successful public
speaker to do is to join debating society
Here he should take part in two kinds OF
debate one requiring elaborate prepare
ton as leading speaker and the other with
out preparation. but still as one Of the
chief disputants. he should also hear all
the famous speakers of the day and study
their style and method Of presenting their
subjects He should endeavor to dis
Germ the thoughts which produce effects
and also bring out whatever may be
suggested to his own mind. If he has
the stuff in him in time method Of cor
rectly expressing himself will result IL
he mas not got the faculty, as soon as he
finds this out he would do well to
abandon his efforts to become a speaker;
for otherwise he becomes a slavish imita-
tor of some speaker and proves failure
don't believe any successful speaker
could tell how he became successful or
what was the element of his success: while
he is sure footed. every effort is neverthe
less an experiment But for man to be
good ordinary speaker-expressing him
self well without attempting to be an
orator-to be able to give his views to a
society, address a meeting of citizens, the
people of church or similar gatherings,
the debating society gives facility OF
speech and confidence on ones feet.-New

When individuals and the masses OF
a community find themselves day after
day and year after year face to face with
fellow citizen who is doing nothing. has
never done anything and never proposes
to do anything except to stand around in
an eloquently impressive style, they
naturally go to work to utilize HIM
Sometimes they make him the chairman
president or secretary of various organiza
tions, and again they make kind of
show figure of him. working him into
matters of social or political nature. In
the course Of time he becomes a necessity,
and whenever anything is to be done 1t Is
generally given up that the case Is hope
less unless the prominent citizen can be
secured. Age deals gently with this pop
ular favorite. and the younger generation
gradually come to look upon him as man
who could have climbed the dizziest
heights of fame, but whose modesty and
public spirit led him to voluntarily turn
over all the prizes Of life to his friends. -

A REAL STORM.
RecoIIections of the Great Blizzard
Here in 1879.
A Snowdrift Which 0vershadowed
the Carey Block.
Families Imprisoned for Three Sue
Cessive Days.

Cold weather "reminiscences by the old
est inhabitant are now ripe. 1t is a pc
culiarity of this immediate section that in
a meteorological summary the recollection
of the collect day is lost in reviewing in
cidents of the great blizzard of 1878. The
storm lasted three days in March. Dur
the entire time snow fell and a gale pre-
prevailed. When the fury of the storm
was lspent it was discovered that the
damage inflicted could scarcely be esti-
mated, while the sufferings OF those who
wero SO unfortunate as to be exposed to
the elements were almost incredibel.
A drift had formed in front of the
Carey block which allowed one to step
from its crest to the roof of the building.
For several days boys coasted down this
white mountain, a point in front of this
Office being the termination of the slide.
Many glass fronts were demolished by
the pressure of the snow, which rapidly
accumulated and solidiied. Merchants
burrowed from the center of the street
into their places of business, while many
h~ouseholders were compelled to remain
indoors until rescued. Several roofs gave
way to the weight of millions of flakes
and crashed upon the prisoners within.
Many chimneys were blown down and
poorly constructed buildings wrecked.
One side of the Union Pacific car shop
was borne away by the hurricane.
In many instances families were upon
the verge of starvation when the storm
abated, people fearing to venture outside.
Several days elapsed before a team
could be driven through the business por-
ton of the city.
Hundreds of cattle and herds of sheep
were destroyed. Fori months men were
engaged in removing the hides and pelts
of frozen animals. 1t was this season that
the live stock interest of the territory
suffered its first calamity.
Many freights and travellers bound
north or south were overtaken by the
storm, and man and beast suffered alike.
The present cold snap would be re-
garded DIS a strange phenomenon else
where than in Wyoming, the birthplace
of natures freaks. The surface is uncov-
cred and wind almost imperceptable.
Yesterday the temperature ranged from
140 to 27o below zero, and still pedestrians
deemed it unnecessary to weight them
selves down with wraps. 1t continued to
grow warmer after nightfall, and at 3
o'clock this morning the thermometer
registered 190 below zero.
