TERRIBLE STORM AND LOSS OF
LIFE AND PROPERTY.

Wednesday afternoon dark and
threatening clouds passed over this
section, but beyond little rain and
wind left no sign of the destruction
they carried with them elsewhere.
At Reading, Pa, car shop was
blown down, the gas exploded set
ting fire to the cars and four men
were burned to death and others in
jured. The cyclone struck silk
mill next where $50 girls were at
work sixty we're killed and 100 ia
iured. The suffering, fright and con-
fusion were terrible. At Pittsburg
dozen buildings were wrecked,
hundreds of people buried in the
ruins, eight or more killed and many
wounded. At Sunbury. Pa, nail
mill was wrecked, several men killed
and others hurt. At Harrisburg and
other points the storm was severe.
At Harrisburg a school building was
unroofed and the hundreds of chill
dren thrown into panic, trampling
each other i'll the rush to get out.
At Williamsport, Wilkesbarre, York,
and intermediate points, much dam
age was done. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth
of property was destroyed by the
storm. At Carlisle the Indian
school buildings were unroofed,
houses and barns blown down in the
Cumberland Valley,-s10,000 dam
age at least.
The storm possessed every feature
of a tornado. The signal service of
ficer said the storm came from the
Southwest. 1t made its first appear
ance in Texas on Monday, reaching
Arkansas on Tuesday and struck
Chicago at O'Clock Wednesday
morning. The storm then swerved in a
direct line for Pittsburg, which, how
ever, escaped the greatest severity,
as the track of its force lay North.

storm struck Pittsburg the barome-
ter recorded 29.0S, the lowest point
reached there since the establishment
of the signal service.
At McKeesport, houses were un-
rooted, trees blown down and win.
dows smashed.
On the rivers a number of boats
were torn from their moorings and

WORKED UP OVER DEFEAT.

The Governors message, generally
first read before the Legislature, to
both houses of which it is addressed,
has been in circulation for over
week. 1t says that the money bor-
rowed by the state in 1887 and 1888
has been paid back, and $1,000 of
the $4,000 borrowed from the school
fund in 1886 and 1886. There is,
says the Governor, but one delin
quent Sheriff in the state; the
amount less than thousand, and
that secure.
The question of fraud and cor
ruption in elections ," is dealt with at
length; a registration law recon-
mended, and the violation of the
election laws made felonious crime.
We admit the seriousness of the
question, and the danger to the state
and the people,-the necessity of
proper restrictions and safeguards
to protect the purity of the ballot.
But the fault is not with the
people but with the politicians, and
are not the politicians among those
who make the laws, and represent
the State, -governors, judges, legis.
lators, representatives, public officers
of the law and the elections9
Politics or political prejudices and
preferences seem to control courts,
juries, election officers, &c.
Why is it that this all-absorbing
question of frauds should just at this
time take a hold of a whole state
government They make it appear
that from 5000 to 10000 illegal votes
were cast in West Virginia. From
the actions of the election contes.
tants they were all Republicans it
would appear. Yet a fair mind must
admit that if there were such whole.
sale frauds and corruptions, there
was as much on one side as on the
other. And if such was the case,
how is it the whole sworn election
machinery of the State, the Courts
and justices and juries have not up

dreds of witnesses have been sum.
moned wherever Courts have sat
since the election, and to what pur
pose! The increase in the vote
scares these political purists yet the
increase is general and uniform over
the whole state, excepting in several
mining and industrial centres, where
it is greater. The increase of the
Republican vote is another surprise
and cause of alarm to the party on
the verge of going out of power; but
hasn't there been a steady Republi.
can gain of late fifteen thousand
the Democrats once had,-ten
thousand not so long ago,-five
thousand but few years back, moth
ing to-day!
These evils have existed before,
why no action long since to suppress
them?
Who put the money into the cam
paign to make the corruption posi-.
BILE? The leaders themselves, and
now the deluded and got.left victims
are to be made to suffer the penalty,
and the "leaders " will repeat the
crime the very next election.
Had the State gone Democratic
under the same circumstances.
would there not have been an easy
smoothing over of the crime and its
danger
The Governors recommendations
as to the prevention of railroad dis
elimination, prohibiting free passes
to public officers, against trusts and
conspiracies, and in favor Of encour'
ing immigration, are all good and
we certainly endorse them and urge
our delegates to give them favorable
consideration.
