THE STORM RECORD.

The record for the year of storms in
this country with electrical phenomena
is probably about completed, and it is
classed among the most notable for di-
versity of sphere and fatality. The
journals in the states OF Kansas, Ne
braska, Iowa, Missouri and Dakota ale
gathering the data with some COM
placency in evidence of the fallacy of
the old theory that they were the favor
lite centers of the devastating elements.
The figures adduced show SO far in the
United States 915 lives lost this year by
cyclones, tornadoes and wind storms.
In 1889 the total was but 1853, the small
est in any year since 1885, when it was
Ill. The largest in the five years was
$50, in 1888. The aggregate of 1890 is
likely to about equal the five preceding
years. The season was inaugurated by
Kentucky in January with II fatal
tiles. In March the same state had 440
lives lost. Then Arkansas, Texas, Ne
braSka and Illinois came in the early
summer, with Minnesota, Massachus-
etts and Pennsylvania later. This state
has unfavorable conspicuity owing to
tuO July otolili anu UiIC CdlcICSS UUdl Ou
Lake Pepin. 1t is put at ITO, and sec
ond only to Kentucky. The perverse-
ness of one boatman has put it in list
where it does not properly belong. 1t
is not in the natural range of these UNI
welcome visitors. The records of the
signal stations show that it should not
be named in connection with the wonted
visitationS of violent storms. These are
not complete SO far back, of course, but
in 81 years there are records of 156 tor
nadOes in Missouri, 153 in Kansas, 1928
in Georgia, 127 III Illinois, and 1IS
in Iowa. Alabama comes next with
102. Minnesota is not in the list of
those that might look for these storms.
The erratie ones that have come so far
north appear to be strayS, and are
classed with the scattering. No state
east of the Rocky mountains seems to
enjoy greater immunity. The old lands
over the waters have had share of the
disasters. Their losses by storms this
year are put al 4, 231, but 5000 were in
Japan, 800 in Siberia and 700 in Arabia,
where lives are not held at high valua-
ton. There have been enough in
nearly all the European countries to
show that they are liable to such dis
pensations. 1t may be noted that the
most recent one in Pennsylvania did
not have any meeting Of clouds or
cyclonic conditions. Their antecedents
and impulses are chiefly matters of
SpecuiatlOn.

WHY THE DECREAsEq

If the Iowa paper has the figures cor
rect as taken in the census, the sur
prising fact appears that in the seven
counties comprising the Des Moines
congressional district there has been a
loss of population in the ten years of
$3.50. In the five agricultural counties
the reduction was 1855, but the two
counties that have manufacturing CEN
tiers have made all the gains. Iowa is
among the best prairie states, an the
conditions of agriculture are as lavora-
bic as they we'll can be in any state that
has been settled any length of time. 1t
will no doubt be found true of all its
purely agricultural districts, except
those just being opened up to settle
ment, that the population is decreasing.
Prohibition legislation will not furnish
adequate explanation, as the depletion
is found also in states that drink as
they please. The farmers are beginning
to understand the cause and how to
locate the responsibility.

Now and then you will find a man

was ugly, quarrelsome and braggart,
but he would have fought ten men as
soon as one. For two years he had a
revolver where he could drop his hand
ON it in a second, and the half-doz-

a fuss with new arrival. He just
ached to kill somebody. and when he
nettled the stranger into talking back"
he reached for his gun to pop him. His
gun wasn't there. When Bill realized
it he turned as white as snow, thinking
his time had come. The stranger had
drawn on him, you see, and he carried

TARIFF TAX TABLETS.

The principle of the Mckinley bill,
says the New York World. is to reduce
the tariff for revenue Gas that on sugar.
in order to increase the tariff for pro-
lection; that is. the tax on consumers,
five-siXths of which goes into the peck
cts OF a favored class. Mr.. Blaine's idea
is to increase the protective tariff as
proposed, and keep the revenue tariff
too, at least until he can make some
kind of diplomatic trade. Butwhat if
he should not succeed in his trading
scheme How much would his modifica-
ton of the Mckinley bill, supposing it
becomes law. relieve the people? If
at the end of the fiscal year congress has
to face the fact of deficiency of reyes
nue. without the sugar duties, what will
be the prospect for reciprocity treaties,
or for any other reduction Of the tariff
The Philadelphia Record says: "The
plausible protectioniSts tell the farmers
that they put added duties on wheat
corn, barley, potatoes. ETC., ETC., to raise
the price of those things; and in the
next breath they swear they are doub-
Ing the tax on tin plate, glassware,
crockery, cutlery, etc., ETC.. in order to
lower prices. They know very we'll
that levying the duties on articles that
we do not import does not raise the
prices. and that the collection of duties
on articles we do import Increases their
cost to the extent of the duty paid. But
they expect to befool the country again
with this double-edged deception. The
fraud has been SO long and SO success

vout believers it passes for economic
truth, while gray-beards are found VINO
