A WORD1N SEASON.

The seedtime for our Minnesota farm
ers is at hand.
What will the harvest be?
Abundant crops, we hope. But will
big crops bring wealth to the farmers as
long as they have to pay tribute to the
monopolies? This is question thatour
farmers have been thinking over during
the long winter months, and we have
no doubt that they enter upon their
spring work with more tariff knowledge
than they ever possessed before; and
the more tariff knowledge they have, the
more certain are they to be tariff re-
formers.
Providence bestows its blessings in
vain unless the selfishnesS OF man can
be restrained. A fruitful season means
but little to the farmer who has to take
of his plenty to pay the unjust taxes
eXacted by the favored classes. 1t
makes but little difference to the farmer
whether he raises Que buShel of wheat
or one thousand bushels, so long as he
is forced to take less than the cost of
production for his grain. Under such
circumstances, the less he raises the
better off he is. There is such thing
as'becoming property-poor when mans
own earnings are only held in trust for
another'S use.
With the decision of the supreme
court of the United States declaring
the state railway and warehouse law un-
constitutional, the Minnesota farmers
have no protection against eXtortionate
railway and warehouse charges. They
know from painful experience how the
profits of big crop can be swallowed
Up in that way.
They know from an equally painful
experience how the profits of farm
can be swept away in paying the extra
cost of articles needed for farm use i'm
posed by the operations of the high tar
iff laws. They know more about this
than they formerly did. because they
have been studying the subject. \
Because of the many open maws
ready to swallow the profits of the farm
shall the farmer be discouraged from
putting in big crops this season? Not
bit of it. In spite of all these adverse
conditions he has more encouragement
to plant this year than ever. He has at
length discovered the cause of the evils
that have afflicted him, and is now in
condition to help himself.
This is the time of all times for the
farmers to make themselves felt in pol
itics. Their remedy is in legislation,
and in removing from public office those
who have been subseryient tools of the
monopoies and filling their places
with men who are honest and coura-
geouS enough to protect the public in
terestS.
The farmers can be the reformers of
the times if they go at it in the proper
spirit. and with fixity of purpose. But
the moment they get to dickering with
the politicians they are lost.

SHAPED LIKE A FUNNEL.
The Terrible Storm Cloud Seen
Long Before 1t Struck the City.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 2S.-The ter
rible funnel-shaped cloud was seen APP
preaching up the river by several per-
sons, among them Walter Dean, who
says it looked like black double-fun-
mel with the narr0west part in the mid
die. Its roar could be heard long be-
fore it struck the city. and people were
alarmed by it. At the Strauss house,
corner Spring and First streets, large
number of guests were gathered, some
for shelter. The funnel struck it
and everybody tried to escape. A
hail of brick and tumbling walls met the
fleeing crowd; but, strange to say,
though the building was almost totally
wrecked, no one was badly hurt. Capt.
Ed Strauss was caught by the falling
wall, but escaped with stoveup hand
and cut on the head. At the foot OF
Front street, near the Car works pump
house, are several Shanty boats. One
occupied by Henry Wilkins, three chill
dren and wife, was bodily lifted and
thrown into the river, and the inmates
flung into the water, where they would
have drowned but for Frank Wallace
and number of car works employees,
who herOically risked their own lives.
Voices could not be heard above the
Roar of the Cyclone
and the waves dashed in fury upon the
bank, threatening to carry everything
away. At the residence, Rev. Il. e.
Bosley, Jacob Green and George Jones
were in the second story when it fell,
but miraculously escaped. Miss Leila
Jewett was slightly hurt about the head
when the house fell. An old lady was
badly injured about the legs in the old
orphans home when it fell, which were
the most serious casualties. 1t is SIM
ply wonderful that no one was killed.
This morning the roof of the
main entrance of the government
depot blew away, barely miss
ing John Wilson and team of horses.
At the Pumpkin Patch two coal boats
of Capt. Dubois, with 10000 bushels of
coal, sank this morning. Off Front and
Market streets the damage is slight and
consists mainly ofblOwn-dOwn chimneys,
lifted roofs and broken windows. The
estimate of furniture and other property
ruined cannot be made. 1t is certain
that in almost all the damaged houses
the furniture is nearly complete loss.
owing to the heavy rain. 1t was fortu-
nate that the cyclone struck before the
people went to bed or greater loss of
life would have resulted.

AGONY ON EVERY FEATURE.
The Bodies of Four Laundry Girls
Found TOgefher

Found Together.
LOUISVILLE, KY. March 2S.-The
scene at the ruins of Virgil S. Wright's
cigar store at 30 o'clock this afternoon,
where the four bruised and mangled
bodies of the Louisville hotel laun-
dry girls were found, was simply hor-
riblr. A huge mass of humanity, actu-
ated by curiosity, made q rush for the
debris when it was announced that the
bodies were protruding. and it took the
moral suasion of squad of police,
armed with strong blllies, to keep
them back. The four unfortunates
were found in the cellar directly
at the spot under what was the seeOud
floor front room. They were wedged in
so tightly that suffocation must have
been swift, and picks had to be used to
remove them. so tight was the bricks.
laths and mortar pressed around
them. They were horribly cut
and inangled. Maggie Ryan was sit
ting upright, and her face was first
fullp exposed to view by the removal of
piece of plank. She had the awful
pallor of death Oh her face, and agony
was written in every feature. Maggie
Campbell was also sitting upright.
Mary Grove was laying PROSTATE on
ASl DdCh. tuu HcI ldlluS WClC
elevated above her head, as if to
which she saw impending. The posture
was agonizing. Every muscle was
tensely drawn, and there were ugly
cuts and bruises as if the awful suffoca-
ton was not complete of itself. Mary
McGinty lay as if she had thrown
herself face downward on the
floor to shut out the sight of
the awful calamity at any cost
The women were all tenderly lifted and
cared for, and their bruised forms were
as sacred to the busy diggers as if they
had worn silk instead OF calico. Their
removal concludes the work of digging
for the present at the site of the cigar
store and the saloon.

CAUGHT BY A WHIRLWIND.
Human Beings Sail Through the
Air Like Birds.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March ga thrill
ing experience was that of Mrs. Mary
Moemele, who kept dry goods store at
Coigan and Seventeenth streets. Her
house was new brick. At the time of
the storm her nephew. Willie Killmier,
was with her. When the walls began
to shake and threatened to fall. both of
them were nearly frightened to death.
Without pausing to look, they rushed
to the front door just as whirl-
wind was passing. 1t gathered in
both of them, and carried them
into the air distance of fortyfeet
At Maple street they were both hurled
againsta fence and remained there UNI
conscious until they were found by the
peighborS a few minutes later. DIR.
Anderson was summoned to attend
them. He found the lady was badly
bruised and perhaps hurt internally.
KiIlmeir's right arm was broken at the
wrist, his ankle was sprained and there
was deep cash i'll his throat. No vital
part was touched. though, and he Will
recover. The house was destroyed and
not thing will be saved. A skiff was
lifted bodily from the river and blown
into the second story window of the
residence of w. A. w. DOrney.

OCEANS OF BURNING LIQUOR
Fire Accentuates the Horrors of
the Wreck.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 2s.-The
Carpenter-Annear Iron works on Eighth
street, four-story building, was blown
down and only several feet of the walls
remain standing. The wholesale liquor
establishment of j. B. Brown & Son,
corner of Eighth and Main streets, fell
and instantly liquors caught fire and
casued an awful conf1agration. The
building consisted Of five stories and
was com paratively a new structure.
By hard work the firemen managed to
control the blaze despite the character
of the stuff that filled it. The building
adjacent to it was considerably torn up,
and it is quite positive that several
dead lay beneath the ruins. The great
building No. 745 Main street, oc-
cupied by S. f. Gunther, tobacco
broker, 81. r. Toewater and James w.
Prather. was nearly demolished, as was
also an immense building occupied by
the II. A. Thierman company, whole
sale liquor dealers and distillers. The
LangdOn-Krieger Saddlery company. at
737, lost the roof, and Carter Bros. stor-
age rooms were badly damaged. Sew
eral men were injured in the queens
ware store of Charles Rossenheim &
Co., at 745. Several men were seriously
injured in the wreck. Johnston Bros,

NOT so MICH IN.

Gov. HILL was pretty nearly cornered
I'm the reform election scheme. 1t was
an embarrassing turn. his mind took
previously over the measure in suppos-
ing it unconstitutional. 1t was not an
obstacle to be waived for courtesy or the
public good. The Republicans insisted
upon the Objectionable features for his
special benefit. One of the most essen
tial of these is to provide for registra.
ton. Without this preliminary the law
would be difficult to operate in the larg-
est cities. But the governor has dis
played a good deal of shrewdness in the
tack he has taken. He informs the
legislature that he will sign the bill if
that body will secure an expression
from the highest court favorable to its
legality. This is not unreasonable, as
it is very important to have law of
this kind, involving so much expense
and machinery, put on a substantial
basis. If the Republicans really want
the law, they will accept his suggestion.
They are likely, however. to bubble
and fail to act on the matter. They
worked for veto, and only fear of the
public will induce any other course.

Knowing that popular sentiment is OPP
posed to the high tariff policy, they pro-
pose to abuse the power they now pos
sess to defeat the popular will and to
fasten upon the country policy that is
ruinous to everybody except to the mo-
nopolies.
In free and enlightened country
like ours, such skullduggery will not be
tolerated. Party ties sit too lightly on
the masses of the people to give assur-
ance of the success of questionable
methods, even when done under the
guise of n party measure. The tempo
rary benefits reaped from skullduggery
do not compensate for the permanent
losses that are sure to follow.

CARELEss sIGNERs.

The sensational developments in GER
tain portions of the administration of
New York city recall the fact that
people sign Endorsements, petitions
and memorials in very loose way. The
rottenness in the Office Of the sheriff is
found by the grand jury to run back
several years, and to have been as odor-
Gus under Sheriff GRANT as any other
incumbent. In fact. the developments
are SO infamous that the New York Star,
one of the chief opponents Of the politi-
cal element that elected him. now de-
mands that GRANT shall resign his
present position of mayor, and Tam
many shall force him out of his station
as sachem. 1t says that he violated
every sense of official morality in his
career as sheriff, and his Office was
fostering nest of corruption. This man
GRANT, now mayor, was elected as
reformer, and. his standing as such
was based upon his career as
sheriff. as vouched for by great
number of the leading lawyers
of the city, who are presumed
to have better opportunities than
other citizens to know the interior
economy of the administration of the
sheriff's Office. These vouchers were
members of all parties, and men Of the
highest standing. Col. BOB lNGERsoLL
was one of the best known Republicans
on the list. They all signed memorial
that was kept standing in the papers
before the election of GRANT as mayor.
They asserted that as sheriff he had
corrected long-standing abuses, effected
needed reforms. and made the Office ''a
model or prudent, firm and courteous
administration" 1t is not strange that
the masses of the people credited the
statements made over the signature of
Col. INGERSOLL and his associates.
Still, the man had not administered the
Office at all in the manner they asserted.
1t had been used to defraud the men in its
reach, and plumber the community. The
men who signed the Endorsement had
no intention to favor dishonesty or de-
ceive the people. They simply gave
their names without consideration, per-
haps as a trifling courtesy to some party
who requested it, just as most people do
when petitions are presented. In Iowa,
the other day, one of the most unrelent-
ing advocates of the prohibition law
signed petition for its repeal on
the assurance of faceti0us parties that
it was another kind of document. In
Illinois noted lawyer once signed all
appeal to the governor that he be hung.
The average citizen generally signs a
document upon the assurance of some
friend of the fact that it contains names
that he has confidence in. 1t is not
often. however, that such documents
have much value or influence. The
New York case seems to be one of the
executions.

IT IS believed it would be cheaper for
the government to hire attendants for
disabled veterans than to pay bounty
in the way of pension to women who
will marry them, after they become
widows. The 10000 widows of the sol
diers of 1912 now drawing pensions are
thought to show that many of the
widows will refuse to marry again in
order to draw the pension. The ratio
from the war seyenty-fiVe years ago
would make a list of 100000 of these
pensioned ladies still surviving seventy
five years from now. Public policy is
against the encouragement OF widows
not to marry again.
