II cannot be said that Mr.. Crisp does
not represent the tendencies Of his party
fairly. he was Tammany's choice for the
place. He Is pronounced advocate both
OF free trade and free coinage He voted
for Carlisle for Speaker against Randall
he voted for the Morrison bill. He voted
for the Mills bill. He has repeatedly
made speeches in Congress and on the
stump In which he has advocated free
trade not less atrenuously than This chief
rival for the Speakership, Roger Q,
Mills. Asa champion Of free eoinsge he
is we'll known Mr.. Crisp tYpi6es the
doctrine OF his party In advocating a
financial policy that would debase the
workingman's dollar, drive American
gold abroad and make our mints the
dumping ground for the silver Of the
world. Like his party, he stands for q
policy that would not only lower the
laborer's wages, but that would pay
them in a deprecated currency.

BY the nomination OF Charles F. Criap
81 Georgia. for the Speaksrship OF the
House last night over Mr.. Mills OF Texas,
the Democratic caucus has conferred
upon its party an eminently valuable
service and enabled the organization to
escape what might have been
damaging result and, so Far as a party
issue can be a service to the whole public,
this result Is a service TO the country.
For kble man as Mr. Mills Is, he is net
of the mould that statesmen are msde OF
land Mr.. Crisp Is. Mr.. Mills makes up
his judgments upon hasty inspection Of
tho subj ct in hand, and then enforces
them with impassioned oratory and too
frequently BY het temper, rather
than with cool reasoning Mr.
Crisp, on the other hand, is
cool and deliberate student, and his Rd
vocacy OF the principles or the cause he
espousas Is characterized by reasoning
always, and by logical deductions Mr.
Crisp belongs TO the school Of public men
aud legislators who are properly called
statesmen. The people Of the country,
therefore, as we'll as the Democratic
party are to be congratulated. What
was consummated in tho caucus last
night. after prolonged and stubborn
contest. will be ratified In the House 10.
day. and the business OF the country can
then go forward smoothly into session
that we all may trust will be for the
good OF the country The one great
thing, after the personal and party as

firmly decided against the aggressive

considerate men Of both parties IN the
House as the best all around equipped
man for the Speakership, aud above all
the safest m0n for his party. 1t was this
consideration that resolved doubts in his

THE EARTH TREMBLED.
The Attack Upon the Clouds
at FL PasO in Detail

The whole southwest has been
watching with eager anticipation the
result OF the rsinmakers experiments
at Fl Paso. The assault began on
Friday last. From the FL Paso Tin es
the following interesting account is
clipped;
at was ten O'Clock yesterday morn
ing when our PEG lie we're warned that
the war on the clouds had commenced,
by the boom Of an explosion OF dyna-
mite on the summit of Mt Franklin.
The explosions were scattering until 3
o'clork in the afternoon, when they
began 10 grow more frequent and by
1 O'Clock the battle was on in earnest,
and the city reverbersted with the
sound OF General Dyrenforth's artillery
Up TO 4 O'Clock only ground explos-
ives were used, but at that hour Capt.
Ellis and Lieut.. Jennings commenced
filling the air with balloons and bombs
The conclusions caused by the expios-
ions were so terrific as to shake build
ings in the business center OF the
city.
THE sttack upon the skies was kept
W With regularly all along the line
OF Misunderstanding g. m tb> summit
Of Mt. Franklin TO a point 800 yards
west of the water reservoir-until s 10
o'clock at night.
"Some idea of the extent Of the shak-
ing up the atmosphere received can
be reached when il is stated that in
the ten balloons exploded there was
1000 feet OF oxyhydrogea, equal TO
5000 pounds OF dynamite. In addition
to this there were exploded one humid
red 2l-Pounder bombs, thrown into
the air by means OF mortsrs, and half
a ton of dynamite and rackarock pow
der was exploded on the ground
Major Hinton s"nt thirty men from
the post to assist the rainmakers and
they rendered valuable service.
Yesterday morning dawned clear
and bright, not a clond dotting the
blue heavens, but at O'clock after
the ground explosions had been sent
of for three hours, clouds began 10
gather and drift from all directions
toward Mt. Franklin. In the after
noon, however, these clouds began to
drift toward the north, but shifted
around 10 ibe east, where they lie at
this hour-l2 80 q. IN.

there TO attend to the wounded clerk
who shot himself last Friday. The
man was still alive slthough there is a
hole through one of his lungs and his
recovery is very doubtful. He did not
shoot himself on account OF oney
matters but because OF a young wom-

false TO him.
