uNWELCnME WINDS.

Although Western Pennsylvania has not
suffered to any great extent in the violent
storms which have grown 70 terrible proper
tions elsewhere, it is disquieting to OBJ
serve that cyclones and tornadoes have
been more frequent in the northern
half of the continent than usual. These
terrific atmospheric disturbances, such
as that which wrought death and destruc-
ton at Wilkesbarre this week, have shown
q preference for regions to the west and
southwest of us before. The maps of the
Signal Service show, we believe, that the
greatest number of violent tornadoes occur
in certain well-defued areas extending from
North Carolina to Central Texas, and from
North Dakota to Kansas on one side and
Central Ohio on the other. But latterly,
and especially in this year of grace,
the unruly winds have broken with all
precedents and scientific assignments as to
locality. The tornado has made its appear
ance as far east and north as Lowell, Mass,
and Wilkesbarre, and the wind storms
which have visited Lake Pepin, Fargo and
Eastern Ohio this summer have been extraor-
dinary and abnormal.
The New York Tribune suggests that
there is doubtless good cause for this change
in the tornado belt Tornadoes, it is now
veil known, usually occur in the south

MONEY RATHER SCARCE.

The excitement which reigned in Wall
street yesterday was caused by scarcity of
money, for which the spectators were un-
prepared. 1t does not appear to portend
financial disturbance of any magnitude, nor
is the condition of the country such as to
occasion the slightest anxiety. The evil
effects of the stringency in Wall street cir
cles are confined to the operators, who were
obliged to borrow money to carry stocks and
make settlements at an extraordinarily high
rate OF interest.
Not unconnected with this spasm in New
York's finances is the remarkable apprecia-
tion in the price of silver. Silver, before
the passage of the law enlarging the pur-
chasing power of the United States Treasury,
was quoted at "a cents, and yesterday the
quotation was 81 20 per ounce. Although
this sharp rise is for the time a disturbing
element in the financial situation, the indi-
cations are that it will inure eventually to
the beneit of the whole country. As yet it
is hardly possible to appreciate to the full
the effect of the new value of silver upon
our industries and agriculture.

QUAY DID NOT BITE.

The Prohibition party is supposed to
be run on trucks of an extra moral pattern.
The attitude of the leaders of the party in
this State would, seem to indicate that they
are above resorting to the questionable
tricks of the practical politician. But the
Rev. W. r. Covert Prohibitionist OF note
in Westmoreland county, has cruelty
shattered this belief Last fall, in the char
acter of liquor dealer, and under an as
sumed name, Mr.. Covert, wrotesto Senator
Quay asking for political pointer or two
about the liquor situation, and the pending
judicial election. Whether Senator Quay
scented the clerical adversary under the
disguise of the friendly liquor man we do
not know, but the answer which the silent
statesman of the Connoquenessing returned
gGre Mr.. Covert very little information,
en- . none that could be used as ammunition
against the Republican machine.
We do not know what the reverend gen.
tleman asked Mr.. Quay, but there is nothing
wrong with the latter's answer that "the sub
mission of the amendment to vote Of The
people was not made either to benefit or to in
jure the liquor interest or the cause of tens
perance, but simply to permit the people of
Pennsylvania TO pass upon propositions
which very large number of them desired
to have incorporated in the Constitution. ;"
This ingenious statement of the Republican
party's attitude toward prohibition last
year could hardly have been what Mr..
Covart want fishing for
Mr.. Quay's reputation for shrewdness and
reticence will not be injured by the publica-
ton of his correspondence with clergymen
masquerading as liquor dealers. 1t is not
SO certain that the Prohibition party, or
any party claiming to be moved by
high moral ideas. can afford to employ the
tricks of machine politicians to gain the best
of ends.
