The cyclone. al LoIIsvIlle.

There were a good many anxious
people in our town, when the news
first reached here Friday morning,
announcing the terrible disaster that
had overtaken Louisville on Thurs
day night, as many of our citizens
had relatives living there, and the
telegraph was brought into reaui-
sition, to obtain the particulars, and
make anxious inquiricsab about friends.
The first reports placed the num-
Der killed at 1900, and the wounded
at several thousand, and of course
all who had friends in that city were
startled at the enormity of the loss
of life, and many wore blanchca
faces.
The Cincinnati papers failed to ar
rive, and the meagrc account the
people got of the terrible calamity
was obtained from the Charleston
and Columbus, Ohio, papers, and
This was not calculated to aIlay their
fears, for these reports only con-
frmed the previous ones.
The storm at this place Thursday
night, and all day Friday, was only
short remove from being des-
troycr of human life and property.
The latest news from. Louisville,
mp to the time we go to press, is not
SO appalling, yet it is bad enough.
1t puts the loss of life at not to ex-
coed $50 and the wounded at not
over 3OO.- The loss of property will
reach up into the millions; about
200 houses were blown down.
The American people were quick
to respond to the appeals of the dis
tressed, and relief committees and
money subscriptions are pouring
into the desolated city from every
part of the land.

Ii it stretches our subscription list

confess that'it is not original with us.

The work of properly organizing
the Democracy of this State is being
discussed pretty generally by the
papers and is receiving attention by
the people. 1t is matter of vital
Importance to every citizen. 1t

ment until the work is accomplish:
ed. A thorough organization of the
party is all that is necessary to in
sure sweeping victory in the next
election. The Democrats have the
voters if they will simply see that
they are cast, and prevent the col
onizing of nonresident voters. No
such disgraceful proceedings as pre-
vailed in some of the southern coun-
ties in 1888 should ever be allowed
to blacken our history again. L,

as ECONOMIC ADMINIsTRArIoN.

The representative of the REsrs-
TER made careful examination of
the records which the Board had
before it, and from which the semi.
annual report is to be made up.
The result was highly fiattering to
the ability with which the institu
ton has been managed. The Board
has created clothing and bedding
accounts and various other forms of
reports, which give clearer in
sight than formerly into the work
ings of the penitentiary. There are
now about go convicts within its
massive walls. For the mouth of
February there was daily average
of 265, and the total expense for
the maintenance of each inmate per
day was only eleven cents. This
low figure has about represented
the average dietary cost for the
past three or four years. Authofi-
ties pronounce it as low as in any
other institution of the kind in the
country. In most eastern peniten-
tiaries it is from fifteen to twenty
five cepts. The present rateis from
one to two cents less than the rate
in 1888 and 81, and is now lower
than at any time previous in the
history of the penitentiary. The
eonvicts are furnished plain, sub

ment has taken in deciding upon the
simple enforcement of the law. The Left
looks upon the Dukes act as mere boy
ish escapade, aud holds thst he should
be tried and sentenced to assert the
majesty of the law, but after sentence he
should be pardoned and be sent out of
France. Thus the law would be upheld
and there would be no roval victims of
Republican persecution. The Right has
advanced the intention to interpellate the
Government.
The Moniteur, an Orleanist organ, ap-
plauds the Prince for obeying the patri-
otic inspiration when he communicated
to no one, and upon which he acted
spontaneously with the generous ardor
of youth.
The letter of the Duke to Carnot is
written in the tone of one surprised that
others do not do justice to the purity of
his motives. He expresses his conf
dence that every Frenchman who loves
the tri-color will approve his conduct,
and he ventures to think that he has no
reason to fear the judgment of Car
not's owD conscience. He then proceeds 2
"Since You are 30 justly proud of your
great and patriotic ancestor, you can
hardly be surprised at my invoking the.
memory of the many princes, my ances-
tors, who died for France on the field of
battle; nor that as one of the descend.
acts of Henry w., ask to become q
common soldier. beg you, Monsieur
Le President, to accept the assurance of
my high esteem"

WASHINGTON, February Sc. L,
Duckwortb, recently appointed post.
master at Sharon, Tsliaferro county,
Georgia, has represented to the Post
office Departments that he is prevented
by threats of personal violence and hos
tile demonstrations from taking posses.
sion of his office. 1t appears that Duck
worth. who is understood be an indepsn-
dent Republican, was some time ago ap-
pointed postmaster to succeed DemO-
crat, who, with his friends, it ia repre-
sented, have since used every means to
prevent hie successor from taking charge
of the Office. Threats of personal vio-
lence, and even death, it is stated, were
publicly made and heaped upon him.
On the 5th of the present month Duck
worth wrote the Postmaster General
that be could hold out no longer, fearing
he would be killed, and asked that his
resignation be accepted.
After consultation with the President
and First Assistant Postmaster General
Clarkson, Mr.. Wanamaker last night
telegraphed Duckworth as follows
"Whatever power this department has
will be used to protect you and put you
in possession of the Office to which you
have been appointed. Communicate freely
by telegraph the full facts if interfered
with further, and immediate action will
be taken"
He also ordered two postofice inspec.
tors to proceed Immediately to Sharon
and investigate the whole matter. At
torney General Miller ordered United
States Marshal to the scene of the
trouble. Duckworth was recommended
for the Office by large number of reput
able citizens.
