LOUISVILLE. March 11.-Under the
heading, "a Few Words Of Warming"
Mr.. Henry Wattcrson prints in the
Couriey.jonradI the following editorial /:
"The people are wiser than the politi
clans. Given information 10 see, they
rarely go astray, and, however they may
be misled by llceting chimeras Of dis
content, they are very apt, III the long
run, to get at the truth. They arc be-
You'd the reach Of merely personal IN
tluences, and, therefore, they are better
able to take Il wholesome and sensible
view of stated case after il has been
fully presented to them. Hence il is
that those Of our friends who have been,
for three months of uncommon heavy
work and strain, boxed up in the Capt.
tol nj Washington, will find not a little
instruction rs well as relief by contact
with their constituents.
1.-Two points Of disturbance are being
advanced TO mar our counsels. One of
these relates to the denomination of Mr..
Cleveland, the other to the adoption Of
some as yet underlined but altered policy
as to silver coinage. Touching the first
Of these, the reflection ought to lessen the
anxiety Of these opposed 10 II that it de-
ponds largely, If not wholly, upon the
action Of the Democrats of New York.
eff New York comes TO the next ma.
tionnl Democratic convention resisting
the nomination of Mr. Cleveland, or
seriously divided upon ii, his nomina-
ton would be suicidal In that event the
party will be compelled to quit New
York altogether and TO seek for nomi-
nee elsewhere, for nothing would be
more absurd than the suggestion of set
ting aside Mr. Cleveland and substitute
ing Governor Hill or any other New
Yorker in his place. When we leave
Cleveland we leave New York. In the
interval, however, the eX President
should be treatcd with the respectful
consideration alike commanded by his
public services and the obligation VIC
owe TO the single Democratic President
we have had III 80 years
Touching silver this is to be said
All of rs in the west and south are bl-
metalists; all Of us nrc friends Of the
double and enemies of the single stand
ard; All of us believe that the expanding
needs Of the country require and the
country will assimilute II still larger cir
culating medium, and look largely 10
silver as the basis of the currency which
Is to succeed the natiUnal bank notes.
But us TO conclusions Of this kind the
OStrtl Of il III the matter Of legislative
detail, or the best fiscal means of reach
ing these ends, there is no agreement,
because there has been no adequate dis
Gussiun and there is no general kn0wl

| CARNATIONS of the state The election
of Gen. Palmer by the votes of Repre-
sentatives Moore and Coclrell has
caused division among the 4. M. b.

sued tonight by A. j. Streeter, the re-
cent senatorial candidate and Repre-
sentative Taubeneck, the single farmer
member who remained true to the indie
pendent candidate on the last ballot.
In this address ii is stated that
Streeter was pledged the support of the
Alliance men, including Moore and
Cockrell, who also openly and emphati-
cally stated that they could not vote
for Palmer because in an interview with
them Palmer had admitted that he had
no remedy TO suggest for the depressed
condition Of the farming industry ex-
cept "a little reduction of the tariff and
the free coinage of silver Stroeter had
agreed upon his line of policy in case Of
his election, and that policy was en-
dorsed at a conference of Independents,
at which both Moore and Cockrell were
present. They then renewed their
pledge to abide by the action Of the
caucus. Their change of heart is stigma
tized as dshonorable, and the address
concludes as follows:
1--WE believe that Representatives
Moore and Cockrell have not treated us
fairly. When, in the history of events,
was a senatorial candidate on the eve of
an election and the remaining votes
promised 10 secure the prize thrown

The Fatalities win Exceed 7O--England
stiii Buried in tho SNOW.
LONDON, March ia foreign steam
ship, the name of which is unknown,
was wrecked OF Start Point near Dart
the recent blizzard. All the crew and
passengers were drowned
The British ship Dryad, Captain
Thomas, bound from Shields for Val
paraisO has also been wrecked of
Start Point, Her crew consisting Of "a
men and officers have been drowned.
The Dryad was an iron vessel
Of t,035 tons burden. She was
built at Liverpool and was owned
by j. b. WGlmsley Of that city Among
the schooners lost off Start Point was
the Lunesdale. Four of her crew were
drowned. Her captain was saved. The
schooner Lizzie Ellen was also lost and
two Of her crew were drowned 1t is
already known that nj least 40 lives
have been lost on the coast during the
blizzard, and in addition at least 10 men
persisted from cold and exposure after
reaching the shore.
1t Is feared that the list Of wrecks and
the record Of lives lost is far from being
complete, as several vessels are known
to be missing.
Many points inland, where the storm
was most severely felt, arc still isolated
from the surrounding country and days
must elapsc before through freight and
passenger traffic are entirely restored on
the branch lines Of the railroads.
The severity of the storm and the
difficulty Of restoring the lines of com
munication to their usual state Of useful
ness may be Judged from the fact
that an express train which left Ply
mouth on Monday IS still blocked up
near the Brent river, The passengers
are suffering severely from exposure.
Gangs of laborers numbering hun
dreds have been sent from all directions
10 clear the railroad lines in Devonshrc
and Cornwall, where the snow drifts
have piled up SO heavily that cuttings
II feet deep llaye 10 be made through
the snow, which is now frozen into an
almost solid mass.
The loss to farm stock is enormous
and will entail much suffering among
the farmers who have already lost con-
siderable money by the terrible weather
experienced at the end Of last year.
The water mains at Plymouth are
showed MP to such an extent that
force Of 200 soldiers from the gar
rison has been sent 70 assist the
water works employees in clearing them
to an extent which will enable them to
be used. AS il is no water has passed
through the mains since Monday last
aud Il water famine is now added TO
the other sullcrings which the people Of
Plymouth have had TO endure through
the terrible blizzard which has caused
So much distress in ENGLAND.

Thnnsese Iianishcd To an Uninhabited
Island for Inriting RnNnIt.

49, -'Nf''HE ffNfPsNE
COLUMBIA, March i2.-Thc state has
received n letter from its special CORE
spondcnt at Apia, dated February 18th,
which foreshadows an early renewal Of
hostiles in the Samoan Islands.
The cN.rcbel King Tamasese recently
requested to be allowed to establish his
headquarters at Mulinum Point, which
he occupied while carrying on the rebel
lion two years ago.
His request being refused, Tamasese
attempted TO incite an uprising of his
old followers, but his scheme was
promptly thwarted, and he was banished
to the uninhabited island of Manon.
King Ma!ietoa is becoming feeble
minded, and many Of his subjects are
clamoring for a change,
They think MataaGa, who acted as
king during Malietoa's Punishment,
should now enjoy the reward of his
lahors and the spells of his battles.
AIataafa is growing FESTIVE, and openly
intimates that unless he is in some way
well provided for he will combine with
Famascse and overthrow the present
government
