The rain storm at Lawrence Mon
day was one of the heaviest for years.
and did great damage, not only to
corn, but in fact everything that
wind and rain can damage at this sea-
son of the year. Bridges were washed
out, fences blown down, trees torn up
by the roots, grain stocks badly dam
aged, and traffic was suspended for a
time on the Santa Fe. In speaking of the
damage done to Snow Hall, the Law
renee Journal says: During the
storm considerable damage was done
to- Snow Hall. a large plate glass
window, 10xI2 feet was demolished in
addition to four other lights averaging
48x56 inches. The attic window of
the building was taken out completely,
sash and ali, and hurled to the ground
with terrific force. The third floor of
the main building sustained some lit
tie damage by rain beating in. Up to
a late hour last night nothing had
been received from the couRtry, but it
is believed that the corn and other
crops vet in the shock suffered consid-
erably.

THoBE, the man who contested Mr..
Carlisle's seat in congress after the
election of 1885, has been working very
industriOusly for an office under the
government. He has failed to get
either of the two unimportant places
for which he asked. His friends, the
workingmen, are hot about it, and pro-
pose to make a demand for something
better still, something the granting or
refusing of which will test, as they
think, the sincerity of the party prom
ises to the workingmen in the late ma
tional campaign. They will ask for
him the post of sergeant-at-arms In
the house, a place worth 81, 500. They
put up their money freely to enable
Thobe to carry on protracted con-
test for the Carlisle seat, and think
they are entitled to some slight reward
since Thobe's success would have in
ured to the benefit of the republican
side of the house. That is their way
OF looking at things.

IT is said that Chauncey Depew is so
strongly smitten with deisre for pOlit-
ical pTeferment, that he will before
long resign the presidency of the Van
derbilt roads and give his attention
entirely to politics. The Vauderbilts
are said to be displeased with the idea,
and feel that he is not treating them
quite fairly. Said friend of his late
ly: He was picked up when help
less Peekskill lawyer by the Wander
bits, was promoted from one place to
another, and finally was made presi-
dent of the New York Central at the
death of William III. Vanderbilt. The
family thought he would be betraying
trust if he gave up before one OF
VIM. II. Vanderbilt's sons was capable
of taking his place. Mr.. Depew on the
other hand, considered that he was
made president of the road because OF
his special fitness for the place; that
the promotion was a matter of desert
He thought he was perfectly justified
in changing his quarters for the white
house if he could get there. There
were many discussions on the subjec
between Mr.. Depew and the Wander
bits. The Vanderbilts know thai
Depew may leave them at any time anC
Cornelius Vanderbilt is training Il

whether Mr.. Depew would give up hi
office to make a contest for the Unitet

THE coal operators at Streator,
Illinois, propose to settle
the strike question by inn
porting cheap labor from other
states. OF course they have perfect
right to do so when the
old employees refuse the low
wages offered. This is only
another illustration of the well known
fact that the wages paid by employers,
whether protected or not, are con-
trolled mainly by the supply of labor
ers and not by any juggling tariff laws.

MURAT HALsTERD n telling about
his European trip, had of course to say
something about the low farm wages
paid in Germany. The usual gratu-
latory reflections were INDUCED in re-
speeding the difference between wages
here and there. Nothing, however, is
said about the extraordinary density:of
population in Germany as compared
with that here, and nothing about the
fact that protective tariff is in vogue
there as here. When man goes about
telling an anecdote, he should not omit
the principal parts of it.

SECRETARY WINDOW some time ago
raised the duty on worsteds thus giving
the manufacturers of wooden goods
additional protection. Lately the tariff
law respecting metal buttons has been
so interpreted as to classify them with
brass buttons, thus raising the tariff
on them twenty per cent. This was
quite boon to the button makers at
whose instigation the duty was raised.
Now if the increase of the duty in the
case of worsteds and metal buttons
will result in even the slightest benefit
to the farmer, well and good. But we
should like to see the farmer who feels
that he is getting any more for his
products in consequence of it.

negroes that they were representatives

the fiery furnace of NebuchadnezZar of
old. He proclaimed that a certain
furnace where iron is melted and cast
was the furnace of NebuchadneZZar
and that the three could all pass
through without danger. The three
negroes under the influence of their
new prophet, deliberately entered the
gate of the cupola of the furnace and
rushed headlong into the white heat of
the melting iron. When they failed to
come out jackson proclaimed that he
saw them rising in the air with the
smoke of the furnace, attended by
angels, and that they would revisit the
earth again next sunday. The negroes
