NO CHANGE IN THE TARIFF.

The strong sentiment of the Republican
press of the country, as we'll as of most OF
the national leaders OF the party who have
thus far spoken, is that tine Mckinley bill
is to be fairly and fully tried. While there
is general disposition to recognize that the
exaggerated and unfair clamor brought
about by the advantage which was taken OF
it to give prices a jump all along the line
sweiIed the Democratic vote 10 many quar-
tiers. there is also the good sense exhibited
that the Republicans in Congress should not
permit themselves to be Influenced by that.
The Republicans passed the bill as the most
effective and beneficial tariff measure they
could frame for the industrial interests OF
the country. They will evidently stand by
it until it is fairly tried. As their majority
in the Senate is not affected by TUESDAYS
vote they are in position to insure COM
plete and satisfactory test.
Amy other course would be as foolish
politics as it would be detrimental from a
business point of view. To revoke their
own judgment merely because the bill was
extensively misrepresented would be the
extreme of folly and inconsistency. If the
Mckinley bill operates we'll there will be a
swift reaction among those who have been
denouncing it. If it is found defective or
injurious in any particular there will be
time enough to amend it when the light of
actual experience of its workings makes
such defect entirely clear.

IN THURMaNs HONOR.

There were words enough, aud enthu-
siasm enough, and notable statesmen and to
spare at the banquet given in honor of the
Hon. Allen G. Thurman's seventy-seventh
birthday, at Columbus yesterday. The
speeches were illuminated by the blaze of
the Democratic victory in last weeks
elections, and naturally they will be
closely scanned for indications of the
policy which the party intends to pursue
in the campaign ending in November, 1892.
But aside from a very general and more or
less felicitous exposition of Democratic
principles, the orations of Cleveland, Breck-
inridge, Wilson and the rest, and including
the eloquent response of the Grand Old
Roman himself, will be found to
be rather barren of political signposts
1t was to be expected that MIR. Thurman
would mildly deprecate the Uffer of active
leadership in the future. But the banquet
was essentially success, nevertheless, in Its
primary purpose to honor a great party
leader and citizen OF the Republic whom
men of all parties admire and respect. The
enthusiasm was of the superlstive order, and
ex-President Cleveland, perhaps, will enjoy
recollections OF the banquet as much any
one-

miralty who allowed the Serpent to leave
port in an unseaworthy condition. The al
legations are that the vessel was from its
launching in 1887 unsafe because Of struct-
ural defects. This is not the first time that
such charge has followed q disaster
to an English man-of-war. After
the iil-fated Captain foundered in
mid-ocean fifteen or twenty years ago.
and all on board were drowned, it was
proven that the fatal faults in the con-
struetion of the vessel, which was one of the
first turret ships built, had been known and
discussed in official circles for some time
previous. It is strange that Britannia. who
sets such store by her claim to rule the
waves, should let her representatives In
office be so careless of her sailors lives. If
the Serpent is proved to have been coffin,
ship, Lord Salisbury's Ministry will be
called to yet another accounting, and in
England there is no more catching cry than
that which pleads the cause of "poor Jack. T"
1t may be that the Tory Ministry will fol-
low the Serpent upon the rocks.

TORNADO STATISTICS.
Destruction Wrought by Several Storms In
Recent Years.

Destruction Wrought by Several Storms In
Recent Years.
. SALT LAKE CITY. November 13.-In an inter-
view with Mrs Lieutenant John P. Finney.
wife of a noted meteorological expert, she gave
some interesting statistics on tornadoes. "Their
number. go far as observed within the last II
years, was 1856. With the sole exception of
the Rocky Mountains. no part of the United
States is exempt from their ravages. No sea-
son of the year is wholly proof against them.
Some of the recent tornadoes were very de-
structiye, as, for instance, the Grinnell tor
nado, on June II, 1882. by which a large section
of Central Iowa was desolated and the town
itself nearly swept from the earth, and 100
human souls dashed into eternity in less time
than it takes to relate it
In Mansfield. Mo-, over 100 people were
killed. I'm 1885 tornado passed over Maryland,
Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, de-
stroying over 81 100000 worth of property aud
many lives. On April II, 1885, st. Cloud and
Sauk Rapids, Mimi, were visited by the mon
ster, resulting in the loss of over $500 600 and
nearly lU0 lives. Among the severest is the ter
ribleAexperience of February ~. 1884, when the
States of Virginia. North and south Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi. Tennessee and
Kentucky were seourged by tornadoes, all oc-
curing in one fatal day, between the hours of
10 A. M. and midnight, bv which nearly 500, 600
00O worth Of property was destroyed, 800 people
were killed. 2500 wounded and fully 1900 per-
sons rendered destitute. Over 10000 buildings
were destroyed.u

FAIR OF GRAND SALARIES.

Some things about the Chicago Worlds
Fair are shrouded in doubt, but above and
beyond all the clouds loom up the salaries
OF the managers, commissioners and other
hign officials. The salaries are magnificent,
and if the Exposition is constructed
on like lines it will be a great success
The Congressional committee appointed to
inquire into the management of the Worlds
Columbian Commission ought to see whether
the big salaries are being earned. Con-
gycSsInan Flower, who is on the COM
mittee, gave notice yesterday that he in
tended to ventilate this end of the Fair, and
we presume that the disposition to regard
GERS will receive wholesome check.

MORE LIGHT ON AFRICA.

If the friends of Barttelot and Jameson
had been wise they would not have called
for more light upon the doings of the rear
guard of the Stanley expedition. After the
details Of that infamous pilgrimage which
THE DISPATCH exclusively publishes to-
day there can no longer be any question of the
entire justice of Stanley's structures. Indeed
Stanley might have used far stronger terms
of condemnation toward Barttelot and
Jameson and still erred on the side OF mercy
But the scoundrels deserve no more mercy
than they showed to the luckless savages
under their command. The story of Faran,
the Arab interpreter, gives us q picture of
fendish brutality on the part OF
men supposed to be civilized Chris
tians that we would like to believe
exaggerated for the sake of poor hu-
manity. Enough of the charges against
Barttelot and Jameson are verified in the
statements of Faran and Bonny, which We
print to-day, to prove their dire guilt, but
further revelations to the same effect may
be expected 10 clinch the matter completely
when the log-book of the rear guard
comes to light. The story is horrible, but it
is best for the world to know the whole
truth,

STRICTLY A HOME AFFAIR.
The Quiet Ceremony That Made Mr.. Rob
Mexican Benedict.

The Quiet Ceremony That Made Mr.. Rob
Mexican a Benedict.
Married is Mr.. Rob Mexican. The ceremony
that made him a benedict was the event of the
hour at tho residence of Captain A. c. Cox, on
Wylie avenue, last evening at o'clock, as his
daughter, Miss Margaret May Cox, was the
happy bride. Rev. Mr.. Patterson completed
the trio-as there were no attendants-that was
the cynosure of all eyes in the tastily decorated
parlors at the time specified and by his words
effected the union. The bride, tall, slender
young lady, of very pretty features deep blue
eyes and a wealth of wavy brown hair, was
gowned in stylishly made light gray crepon,
with velvet bodice and sleeves. She carried a
bouquet OF lovely roses, and appeared so unas-
suming and natural that serious doubts as to
her being bride and it being her wedding
would have been entertained had not the groom
and the minister been convincing proof that
such was the case.
The fact that it was strictly a home affair,
with few but home people as guests may be a
partial reason for the absence of all stiffness
and formality that made the wedding. though
transformations, one of the most charming and
enjoyable. With the perfect freedom of people
thoroughly acquainted with each other con-
ventlonality was almost entirely discarded and
the chat at the supper table became somewhat
personal. Postmaster Mexican, the groom's
brother, was rallied quite extensively upon his
continued singleness in spite of the many en-
gagements the newspapers credit him with and
others of the company were treated to little
bits of family wit that kept up continual rip
Mrs. Mexican to the East, where few days
will be spent in sightseeing. On their return
they will reside with rhe parents of the bride,
at 407 Wylie avenue.

A Letter From New York's Governor.

l need not assure you of my regret at not
being able in person to show my respect and
admiration for the Grand Old Democrat whose
birthday you will celebrate. His services to
his country and his party have been conspicu-
Gus and important. He holds. as few Aneri-
can statesmen have held, the love and esteem
of the people. The recipient of many honors
from his party, and deserving of the highest,
he never forgot that he was bur the party's
servant. In defeat as well as in victory he was
always true Democrat, laboring earnestly
and intelligently for his party's best interests
For these he made. and was always ready to
make, great personal sacrifices. 1t was this
loyalty and unselfshness which have endeared
him to the hearts of all Democrats, a reward
more lasting than public office and more salts
flying than the honors of political power.
The celebration which you and your political
associates have arranged will be fitting
preston of the gratitude which all Democrats
feel for the "Old Roman" and those of US who
will not be able to greet him personally upon
that anniversary may be allowed from a dis
tance to wish him many years more of health
and happiness. The quality of his Democracy
