Kentucky used to be classified as a
Southern State. A classification IN
der the head of "ihe mississippi

modern school biographies, is not gem
orally accepted. 1t is q curious az

nois as "the West" The grouping
proposed by the Census Office is into
North Atlantic, South Atlantic,
Northern Central, Southern Central,
and Western States. Under this sys-
tenn Kentucky is among The Southern
Central States. by this arrangement
She Western States begin about the
le4th degree Of west longitude, Col

to count as much as possible The Toronto
Globe sensibly remarks that a census intend.
ed to show the actual condition of the coun-
Try might as well include people in Scotland

have all been counted once in our census.
The recent lorna does in Maine and Massa-
chusetts have brought out the fact that these
terrible storms have been by no means I'M
known In Maine in previous years. In 1874
very severe tornado passed through the
northern part of Somerset county. In the
town of Cambridge the Methodist church
was blown down hill, huge oak beams in
the tavern were dashed through the walls,
barns-were torn to pieces and a general
devastation occurred in swarth some 40 rods
wide and miles long. 1t began and ended as
smoothly as If cut with sharp knife.
About 1884 another tornado. or a series of
them, passed through the woods in northern
Piscataquis county. cutting swath about
five or ten rods wide. Every tree that felt
the force of the tornado fell as If
cut with a knife, and the path OF
the storm was an impenetrable mass OF
broken and entangled trees. Last year
tornado swept out of the sky in the town Of
Peru,i In Oxford county, on the Androscoggin
river. In an instant it totally demolished
barn. turned a shed around on its founda-
ton, and broke off large tree which shaded
the dooryard of the farm house. The farm.
er's family were in the house at dinner.
They felt no wind and no disturbance, al
though few yards from them their property
was being demolished. Tornadoes are far
from unknown In New England; although
they are by no means so terrible as on the
broader plains of the West.

The attention of pronounced license
Demo Gratis" is called to this item which oc-
cupied an obscure place in the Bangor Com
merciaf recently:
Members Of the Democratic State committee
with other prominent politicians who work in the
party, were at the Eimwood Hotel, Waterville,
last night for the purpose of surveying the situa-
tion aud taking such action as might seem ad-
visable In connection with the present campai. n.
Its noticeable fact that the Commercial
nowhere states what action was taken. 1t
Is more than probable that Bass, Gillen,
Murphy & Co, heard from the back towns
and that what seemed advisable in connec.
tion with the present campaign" did not
altogether suit those gentlemen. Perhaps
somebody showed the enterprising firm the
resolutions adopted by Farmer Aliens con-
yedtion and POINTED out the place where the
endorsement of license should have been.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Press says that the amendments to the
federal election bill have been completed by
the Republican members Of the Senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections and that
the bill will soon be submitted to a Senatorial
caucus. 1t is expected that the tariff bill
will be disposed of by the middle of this
month and that the elections bill will fol-
low. This probably means that this session
of Congress will be prolonged until the mid
die Of September.

Senator Aldrich thinks the tariff bill can
be voted on by the middle of this month
provided the Democrats proceed honestly
with it's consideration. But this is precisely
what they will not do. Under the astute
leadership Of Mr.. German they are not max
ing their flibustering ostentatious and
odious; but they are nevertheless wearing
away the time.

WISDOM AND FIRMNEss OF REPUBLICAN
LEADERS.
New York Tribune.l
Speaker Reed has occasion to thank the
Representative who assailed him because the
Speaker had used his discretionary power to
check appropriations for phblic buildings.
The discussion calls attention to the extrav-
agant appropriations for which members of
one house or the other have already voted,
and to the wisdom and firmness of those Re-
publican leaders who are trying to keep the
expenditures within reasonable limits.

The campaign lie is abroad, although the
election is some time distant. In this parti-
cular early lie 1t is alleged that work is to be
started up in the Kittery navy yard in order
to help out the Republican vote next Septem-
Der. Work is to be started up there, but for
an entirely different purpose. Last January
two of the large buildings of the yard were
destroyed by fire; and it has as yet been i'm
possible to reconstruct them on account of
lack of funds. Congress has now made
the appropriation, and Secretary Tracy.
In pursuance Of his duty,
has issued proposals for contracts for this
work and other necessary work that has
been awaiting the appropriation. There is
no ground whatever for ascribing to Secre-
tary Tracy partisan motive In getting the
work under way in the season best fitted for
such work, instead Of waiting for the fall
and winter. Besides, Secretary Tracy
knows that the First District is surely Re-
publican and would be, were the Kittery
navy yard sunk hundred miles off the Isles
Of Shoals.
