where it compels desired reciprocity. It gives

THE GREAT STORM.

Later details of the Louisville calam-
ity are gratifying in that they show the
loss of life to be much less than was at
first estimated; yet the situation is bad
enough and appeals strongly to the
sympathy Of people of all sections. In
this cycle of calamities there has been
nothing more horrible, with the eXcep-
ton of the JohnstoWn disaster. than the
devastation created by the storm which
swept up the Ohio valley night before
last. Beginning in Kansas and sweep
ing Oh through Missouri, the southern
parts of Illinois and Indiana and the
northern part of Kentucky, the cyclone
performed a work of havoc that has
never been eQualed by wind storms in
this country. One Of the fairest
and most fertile sections of the
land has been made desolate,
lives have been lost by the hundreds,
and may aggregate thousand or more.
Millions and tens of millions of dollars
worth of property has been destroyed.
And just below the scene of deyasta-
ton the floods are laying waste a vast
area of country, driving people from
their homes, destroying plantations,
and, In some instances, destroying
human life. Our sympathies go out to
these afflicted people, and While there
are others nearer to them able and will
ing to contribute to their necessities,
still the people of the Twin Cities stand
with outstretched hands and open
purses to meet any and all demands
that may be made upon them in the way
of relieving the suffering of our South
ern brethren. There can be no sec
tionalism in the presence of such a scene
of death and destruction. They are as
near to us in the hour of their distress
as if they lived alongside of us.

CYCLONE KNOWLEDGE.

The cyclone is no respecter Of sec
tions. The old superstition that the cy-
clone was purely Western product
has been dispelled within the last two
years, for within that time the East and
the South have been visited by more
destructive wind storms than those that
were wont to sweep across the Western
prairies. The climax of the cyclones
destructive force seems to have been
reached in the fury of the Louisville
storm, which caused more destruction
of life and property than any similar
calamity that has befallen this country.
Heretofore the cyclone has avoided the
larger cities. 1t usually preferred an I'M
INSTRUCTED sweep across the open coun-
try, taking farm houses, and sometimes
villages, in its pathway of destruction,
but with seeming intelligence steered
clear OF the larger towns and cities.
The Louisville calamity, however, re-
verses the accepted cyclone policy, and
demonstrates that the size of town is
no protection againstits assaults. There
has been favorite theory that the re-
SiStance offered by compact mass OF
buildings was protection, and also that
the numerous lightning rods and wires
in city acting as insulators drew off
the electric force of the storm cloud.
and thus afforded additional protection.
But no theory, however plausible, will
stand in the presence of such calamity
as has befallen Louisville and Jeffer-
sonville. The former popular theory of
the existence of a "cyclone belt'
has been entirely dissipated by thu
experiences of recent years. and now all
scientific vagaries concerning the cy-
clone are likely to vanish. The truth
is, the wind bloweth where it listeth,
and it is not within the range of finite
knowledge to tell whence it eOmeth OF
whittier il goeth. The most we know,
or ever will know. is that when cy-
clone approaches, whether it be in the
North, or in the South, or i'll the East,
or in the West, it is time to take to the
cellar and trust to Providence for the

CREMATED In A CELLAR.
Three Men Burned to Crisp in
Sight of Hundreds.

LOUISVILLE. KY, March 2S.-At the
corner of Sixteenth and Magazine
streets, in Louisville, the most horrible
cremation of the bodies of three men
occurred. These men were caught in
the falling timbers of the two-st0ry gro
Gerry and bar room of Nick Phieneman,
and burned entirely to blackened and
charred mass. They were Bud Sulli-
v2n William Deemer and Ben Schildt,
this first two labOrerS and the latter All
undertaken. Several people were in the
house at the time, and Nick Phineman,
the owner, escaped with his life
alone. being badly burned and
the following story: II was
standing in the bar at the back of the
store and was talking to three men are
now dead, and to two other men:
''About $50 we heard terrible roar
and tearing sound, and then the house
rocked back aud forth. Ben Schildt had
just said that he was going home. but
he had scarcely said it when
the door was blown to, and we were
caught. tried to open it,but could not.
My wife and children screamed, but ran
safely out the back way, but they had
scarcely got out when that portion of
the house was blown down. We tried
the windows, but just then the floor fell
in, and Schildt, Sullivan and
Deemer went through to the cellar.
| ran to the side of the house and escap-
ed by the window with two other men.
The screams of the men were terrible
to hear as they were held in by the
roof and the building rapidly blazed
and burned. They cried for help, but
we could do nothing. We tried, but 1T
was in vain, and crushed and mangled
they burned to death before our eyes.
They were soon burned to death, and
their horrible cries for help were
soon stopped, but it was terrible"
1t was three hours later before the fire
was stopped and the wreck cleared
away enough to get at the three men,
and so black and charred were they
that Sullivan's father and Deemers
brother were unable to recognize them.
They were burned to a crisp, and they
could only be identified after long
search. 1t was II o'clock when the
bodies were removed, and they were
immediately carried to their respective
homes. Sullivan was an employe of
the Pullman shops.

THE WYoMING FRAUD.

The female suffrage agitatorS are get
ting fine send-off from Republican
congress. The proposed admission of
Wyoming with the woman lffrage
clause in the constitution is as complete
a vindication of the female suffrage doc
trine as the Republicans can give it.
But the fact of principal interest is that
the stand the Rep ublicans have taken
on this Wyoming admission proposition
shows to what extremities the Repub-
lican party is driven in its desire to re-
tain supremacy of national affairs. In
their eagerness to get two more sena-
tors and three more votes in the cleo
toral college, they would have voted for
the admission of Wyoming just as read
ily if mule suffrage had been incorpo-
rated in the Wyoming constitution.
We feel impelled to commend the
statesmanlike stand Representative
DUNNELL took on this question. There
were doubtless other Republican con-
gressmen who felt as Mr.. DUNNELL
did, but they lacked the moral courage
and the manly independence to vote ac-
cording to their convictions when
brought under the lash of the party
whip.
There is one source of consolation
left, however, in regard to this matter.
There has never been time in the his
tory of our government when an eXer-
else of extreme partisanship at the eX-
pense of common sense and common
decency did not recoil with terrible eff
feet upon the perpetrators of the deed.
The Republicans are sowing the seeds
of their own perdltion when they
indulge in such extreme partisan legis-
lation that they can offer no better justi-
fication for it than that the extreme
necessities of the party require it. The
proposed admission of Wyoming and
the exclusion OF other territories that
have an equal claim to admission is
confession from the Republican leaders
that they are afraid Of the election in
1892. 1t is an open admission that with
all the governmental machinery in
their hands and all the power Of patron
age at their disposal, they cannot rely
| upon the people of the states now in
| the Union for an Endorsement of the
| Republican policy.
The admission of Wyoming is simply
| another device of the protectionists to
perpetuate power that was never hon
estly acquired, and which cannot be re-
! tanned by strictly honest methods.

THEY EXPORT.

The organs Of the protected monopO-
lies are nervous over the timidity of
some of their forces in the face Of the
growing demands of the farmers and
good many other people. The central
raliying, inspiring principle Of the Re-
publican party is in danger of distor-
ton and emascnlation by its trusted
custodians. The organ of PORTER, the
protection authority and census taker,
says to the revisers in congress: "Be
ready to show courage in the increase
of duties where it is necessary to put
an American industry on its feet.
Strengthen the tariff wherever it is
necessary. Infuse into your tariff bill
the spirit of the last presidential cam
paign. Don't give up the true protect
i've principle" But that sort of music
doesn't enliven as it did. There are a
good many congressman who want to
be reelected this year, and they begin
to think Mr.. LINCOLN saw situation
similar to the present when he said that
the people could not all be fooled as a
nermanent thing.

SEARCHING FOR VICTIMS.
The Coroner and Corps Working
Amid Awful Confusion

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 2S.-The
coroner and corps of assistants he has
pressed into service are assiduOusly at
work gathering whatever information
concerning the dead and missing that can
possibly had in the awful confusion that
exists on the scene of the catastrophe.
The reporters have assisted him greatly
in the work, though there is scarcely a
man in the terrOr-stricken. gaping
crowd that hangs about the ruins
who can tell an intelligent
story, or whose statement regard
ing the missing and killed can be
relied upon. At 9:05 O'Clock the rescu-
ing party heard cries at the rear of the
fallen building. Twenty anxious men
rushed to the spot. Beneath mass of
timberS and iron roofing, smothered
groans were heard. The crowd went to
work with will. In short time
the strong arms had dragged
the heaye timbers from the
place, and rolled back the
debris on every side. About seven feet
beneath the level of the surrounding
pile, the form of woman was seen. A
heavy piece of timber lying across her
stomach pinned her to the wreck. The
other tImbers had formed an arch above
her head, and prevented her from being
crushed to death. When the rescuing
party reached her she was still breath
ing, but she was unconscious. She was
quickly rescued and placed in the No. 9
patrol wagon. None of the crowd knew
her. Her face, head and shoulders are
badly cut, but if she is not internally in
jured she will probably recover. She
was taken to the hospital.
