Horrors in the South Seas.

Advices received BY the Australian
steamer late last night show that April wae
a disastrous month in the south seas,
great floods occurring in New South Wales
and q hurricane along the New Zeal
and coast. The food at Bourke, New
South Wales, was the worst in the history
OF Australia, the water being waist deep
all over town. Many brick buildings COL
lapsed because of undermined founds-
tions. The inhabitants camped on neigh
boring hills. The river also overaowed the
surrounding country and sheep persisted
by thousands because they could not get
feed.
-Four survivors of the San Francisco bark
Emile were brought to Auckland last
month. The bark was driven on a reel
and the captain and seven men were
drowned while launching a boat. The
four men saved stayed with the boat, which
drifted five days and then went ashore on
Stewards island. They suffered for food
on vessel and on island and experienced
many hardships. One man died after res,
cue, his legs having been gangreped from
wearing rubber boots. The survivors SAY
the vessel was u floating coffin.
Four white men and forty seven natives,
who we're going as laborers to Australia,
were lost by the wreck of a schooner on
the New Hebrides. The survivors say that
about twenty natives and one white man
reached shore, but the natives, after invit.
ing them to a feast, t~omahawked and ate
the whole crowd, except one boy, who es-
capped.
News from Samoa shows that the new
treaty was formally signed by the chiefs
April II. They made no amendment, and
two days later King Malietoa and the con-
suls ratified it.
The Pacific mail steamer China, arrived
bringing Yokohama news to April 26. The
papers are full of receptions given to the
duke and duchess Of Connaugh in China
and Japan. Many valuable presents we're
given the royal party in Hong Kong and
Shanghai.
News from Honolulu says Attorneys Cen
eral Ashford has advised King Kalakaus
not to sign the new treaty with the United
States, although the remainder Of the cabi-
are in favor Of his signing. The feel
ing against Ashford is SO strong that he
will probably have to resign.

South Dakota Tin.

Senator Moody, Of South Dakota, has
delivered to the senate committee on
finance 1000 pounds of tin ore and 100
pounds of pig tin and other specimens of
tin, taken from the Honey Peak tin mines
in the Black Hills of South Dakota. He
intends to use these as a tangible %illustra-
ton of the possibilities of South Dakota
tin mines in asking for an increase of duty
on tin plate. Senator Moody said that
South Dakota alone would furnish all the
tin TO be used in the United States, if pro-
lection is given sufficiently long to bring
about the development of the mines.

PetticOats Must Go.

The general conference of the NJ. E.
Church South listened to an appeal from
the Northwest Texas conference against
licensing women to preach. The resolu-
ton admitting laymen TO membership on
all committees was carried by On over
whelming majority. David j. Waller,
secretary of the British Wesleyan confer.
ence. the first delegate ever sent to the
general conference Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church South from the mother con-
ference, was introduced during the day.
before adjournment the following protest
was presented by those opposed to negro
admission: "We respectfully request to
record this our protest against the adop.
ton of amendments tending to do away
with the separate organization of the
races" The protest is signed by 1O2 per-
sons. The seceders declare that they have
not given up the fight; that the alleged
compromise is adopted to enable the bishop
to admit as many negro clergymen as he
may desire.

crop year is hattering.
South Dakota Crops.

The Huuonite prints reports from thirty
one counties in South Dakota on the con-
dition of the growing crops. The reports
show that, although but little rain
has fallen throughout the state and
high winds have prevailed in many To-
c%alities, the early sow wheat is grow
ing nicely. Cold nights and heavy frosts
have done no injury other than to slightly
damage fruit. A considerable acorage of
corn has been planted. The heavy rain
here and in the north. east and south parts
OF the state yesterday and to-day will be
of incalculable benefit. The outlook in
South Dakota for an excellent Drop is

ACHIEVEMENTS OF DEMOCRATS

ACHIEVEMENTS OF DEMOCRATS
What are the achievements of
American historyg First, the crea-
ton of the commonwealths of the
Northwest by the severancy of
Virginia. This was done by a
Democrat, Thomas Jefferson.
Then the purchase of Louisiana
from Napoleon, giving US the con-
troll of the Mississippi River and a
magnificent empire, sweeping from
the Gulf of Mexico to the Canada
line! This was done by a Demo-
crat, Thomas Jefferson.
Then the annexation of Florida
entirely the work of Democrat,
Andrew Jackson.
Then the coming in of that noble
commonwealth of Texas, territory
larger than France-the work of a
Democrat, James K. Polk.
The acquisition of our Pacific
States-such an empire as might
have dazzled the Imagination OF
Caesar-was the work of a Demo
crat, James K. Polk. To the Dem
ocrat Andrew johnson we owe

Paper from Cotton Seed.

The manufacture of paper pulp
from cotton seed hulls is new in
dustry spring up in various portions
of the South, the first mill being
built recently at Huntsville, Ala.
The American Fibre Association,
it is stated, will erect these mills
wherever there are oil mills, so as
to utilize the refuse of their cotton
bulls. It is thought this industry
will raise the price of cotton, and
thus give the planters a better re-
Enumeration for their labor.
Cotton has ever been recognized
as the best material for paper. The
hull is the strongest part of the
plant; it is the concentrated essence
of the sunshine aud climate which
brings it to perfection, and from
this is to be made paper, as white
as the cotton itself-which, in a
hundred years would be of the same
color and strength, as the process
through which it passes does not
weaken the fibre. This new indus
try is destined to supply this coun-
try with superior quality of paper,
but will export pulp to foreign
countries from which they can make
finer article at less price than
they now pay for an inferior article,

The Democrats, who will come
into control of the next House Of
Representatives, cannot forget the
lesson of the recent election, for ii
applies as strongly to them as to the
defeated party. What is a Sebuke
to the Republicans may also be con.
strued as an admonition to the Dem
ocrats to stand by fair play, uphold
the freedom of debate, recognize the
rights of the minority, and take no
vengeance. Moderation in dealing
with opponents, even though they
have shamefully misused you, is the
manly course for all who are worthy
of success Baltimore San.

How the Senate will Stand.

The orbit of the recent political
eclipse of the Republican party ex-
tends through some of the hitherto
Republican States, and marked in
It's path of partial totality in those
obscured regions several State legis-
lures which may be marked as ''fair
and uncloudy" for Democratic United
States Senators.
The membership of the Senate is
s4-37 Democrats, Al Republicans.
The membership viii be increased to
SO by tie admission of Wyoming and
Idaho, giving the Republicans 81
a majority being As. On March 4,
1891, twenty.six Senators go out-16
Republicans, 10 Democrats. But,
10 fill these vacancies, four Demo
Gratis and two Republicans have
already been elected. The remaining
six Democratic States viii each elect
q Democratic Senator, thus securing
the ten whose terms expire next
March
So far, the Republicans have elect
ed only two to succeed the Is whose
terms expire next March. They have
lost New York, Illinois, Wisconsin
and New Hampshire giving the
Democrats four additional Senators.
The Senate viii then stand; Demo-
Gratis, IL; Republicans, 47-total, IS;
a majority of six.

How the House Stands.

The everlasting National Democ-
Eacy rears It's. head proudly and sur
veys with great satisfaction the field
of its recent action. It sees strewn
here and there the wrecks of its
enemies, who encempassed their own
defeat in attempting to foist upon
She people the robber tariff bill,
The infamous Force Bill, and, worst
of all, the general infamous acts of
the House of Representatives during
the session just closed.
At the recent election, the Demo
cratic party cast a majority vote in
the Eastern, Northern, Western and
Southern States The House has q
quorum of Democrats. All the Re-
publican members can absent them,
selves without retarding business.
In 16 States the Republicans have
no Representative in Congress, what
soever. That party has not one
Representative from two New Eng
land States-its former stronghold.
The Democrats have 13 members
from New England; Republicans, IL.
Never, since the Republican party
organized under that name, in 1854
has it's representation been so small
as it is in the next Congress-89
In that year the Republicans elected
10S Representatives. In the follow
ing Congress, the Thirty-ffth, thai
party had 80 Representatives-now
It has three less in the Fifty-secon6
Congress. In the Forty-third Con
gress the Republicans had 1913 Rep
resentatives; in the Forty-eighth The
Democrats had 200; and, in the mex
Congress there viii be.243 Demo
Gratis. This is the largest member
ship ever returned by either party
It will be the largest majority b.
which the House has been controlled
since the organization of the Repub
ican party. In the Fortieth Con
gress, the Republican majority il
the House was 126; in the Forty
third, before the upheaval of 1874
it was ITO. But, the recent cyclon

second Congress a majority of Is

the Republicans lost 80 seats, and til
Democrats came up smilingly wit

cane, 80 Republicans were swept on

The leading Republican newspapers
are again clamoring for the district
ing o. all the States by Congress.
They declare that this is made nee
essary by the results of the recent
elections. They thus admit that
their demand is not from patriotic
impulse, but to prevent Democratic
success in 1892. It is very doubtful
whether Congress has the constitu-
tional authority to district the States.
Ever since the inception of the Gov.
eminent the States have exercised
that privilege without contention.
The people are becoming alarmed at
the encroachments of the Federal
Governments upon the States, and
they view with distrust this propo
sition for Congress to district the
States, as they did the attempt to
pass the tyrannical Force Bill.

r No doubt an extra session of Con-
gress had been decided upon, but,
after their overwhelming defeat, the
Republicans changed their scheme.
However, they may pass the Force
Bill at the session which begins next
month. It is not likely that they
Wilt is not policy; but, then, in
their desperation, they might do it.
The new Congress could render the
bill Intellectual, 90 far as the election
of 1892 is concerned, by the refusal
of the House to appropriate money
for carrying out the provisions of
the law. Even Republican officials,
no matter how patriotic they may
pretend to be, will not work unless
paid-money is at the bottom of
their alleged patriotism.
The Constitution provides that no
appropriation of money for the sup
port of an army shall be for longer
period than two years; but it is silent
as to other appropriations. While
such an appropriation may not be
unconstitutional, it is not probable
that the Republicans will be so auda
cious as to make such an appropria
ton, or even to pass the Force Bill
in view of the results of the recenr
elections.

It is one of the incongruities Of
our governmental arrangements that
the Representatives elected to Con-
gress at the recent election do not
meet regularly until December, 1891
thirteen months afterwards. The
people choose their Representatives
with regard to certain issues, which
may have passed or become of even
greater importance between the time
of their election and the meeting OF
Congress. In other words, Repre-
sentatives, being elected by popular
vote, are supposed to more directly
represent the local issues than the
Senators, and for that reason should
not be elected until on the very eve
of the assembling of Congress.
Then, coming fresh from the PEG
| pie, elected on issues that demand
immediate Legislation, the Congress
would reflect the living issues of the
day-the prevailing sentiment of the
country.
AS it is, the new Congress elected
to wipe out the high tariff steal, viii
not have that pleasure until a yeal
hence. In the meantime, the very
Representatives whom the people
have repudiated will meet this Win.
ter and legislate for the country.
