TREES AND CYCLONES.
ON the Atchison Champion.

From the Atchison Champion.
For the last twenty-five years meteor
ogists and other scientists in this country
have exerted themselves to discover the
real cause of cyclones, but with unsatis-
factory results. In British India, where
forest denudation had for years been 60
ing on until vast areas were Invested of
all their trees, it was found that cyclones
and other disastrous storms, together
with most destructive inundations. pre-
vailed TO an alarming extent-these phe-
nomena never having been known in
that region until the forests were so gen.
orally removed. So evident was it that,
in some way, the absence of tress was a
a cause Of cyclones that the government
at once ordered a general replanting of
trees throughout that entire section, and
now that the trees are grown the eye
ZONES and other destructive storms have
entirely ceased there.
The same thing is true of the Rhone
valley in France, where cyclones for
wears. regularly every summer, devas-
tated the country. The forests OF that
region were cut off and the cyclones
came, they were replanted and they
CEASED 10 come as before.
Here in the United States cyclones pre-
vail and are most destructive IN the tree
less or prairie regions, and they decrease
Just in proportion that forests are grown.
In Kansas. for example, where we now
have about 800, 600 acres Of artificial
forests, and and about the same number
of additional acres Of trees just set OF.
and Of three or four years growth, cy-
clones, for the last ten years, have been
less frequent than prior 10 that time.
Tree planting. then, or the increase Of
forests II would seem. IS a protection
against cyclones and this is a tremendous
motive OF itself alone for extensive tree
planting and cultivation.

Will some one of the ecstatic LADDERS

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY IN MISS IS
SIPPI

Senator George and Genral Barksdale
are engaged to take part in the pending
campaign in Mississippi, but they have
agreed in frank and friendly conference
neither to make arrangements nor to ac-
cept invitations for joint discussions.
George is straight Democrat; Banks
dale is an Alliance Democrat, who in
dorses the subtreasury scheme as well
as other demands of the Cincinnati
platform. They cannot but clash.
Should they meet the wool would besure
to fly. But their disposition to mash
each other is not as great it seems as the
desire of their hearers to line up and
make war over their joint discussions.
The great orators say that joint debate
"would not promote dispassionate and
impartial consideration of questions at
issue, but would unduly excite public
feeling and perhaps disturb
that harmony of the Demo
cratic party which they deem essential
to the prosperity and welfare Of the peo-
ple.'" The Galveston News makes note
of the incident and observes that this is
perhaps the first formal agreement of
the kind, for the reason assigned, ever
made in this country, where joint dis
cussion of the most exciting kind has
been a source of entertainment for the
people from the beginning, of which no
partisan would willingly be deprived.
In such hot debates few if any con-
verts have ever been made, and where
changes were wrought they have fire.
quently been in the interest of the wiry
dennagogue with an excellent voice and
inimitable squirt for smutty jokes, which
the superior intelligence of his adversary
could not withstand.
This agreement between the Missis-
sippi leaders will, of course, be approved
by the Democracy of that state and
section, and thoughtful people generally
may find in it something to approve as
in the direction of a long and much
needed reform measure calculated
to make controversial politics less
virulent, less brutal, more decent and
more sensible But this does not
make the chief purpose of the agree
ment any the less remarkable. This pur
pose, shared alike by both signers of the
paper, is ito avoid division in the Demo
cratic party" Both candidates claim to
be Democrats, yet one favors at least |
five distinct declarations of political doc
trine which the other denounces as utter J
IL undemocratic. The other keeps in |
his code dozen platitudes which his OPP |
ponent has branded as the oldest chest |
nuts on earth. They are exact traverses |
Of each other. Their routes, SO far from |
being parallel, are cross roads. They do |
not believe the same things; they do not |
preach the same things. Yet they claim |
that a paramount consideration with |
both is harmony in the Democratic party! |
The question naturally arises in the
mind of an outsider: How much will |
the Democratic party hold? What will
it hold? If it viii hold Senator George |
and his thunder and General Ethel Banks |
dale and his thunder, then will it not |
hold anything? Democracy in Missis-
5ippi seems to be chiefly harmony. Har-
mony is good or a vicious condition,
according to the character Of its inspira
ton.

The statistician of the agricultural de-
partment shows that there has been an
increase since April, 1890, of 100 per
cent in the value of corn and oats, 80 per
cent in wheat, and 80 per cent in cattle.
And present prospects are good for these
increases to be maintained. for twelve
months at least; for, while we have
promise of unusually large crops this
year, reports from Europe indicate a
general shortage in cereal crops, and so
great is this likely to be that steps are
already being taken by some of the
governments over there to remove the
import duty on gr2ins and food pro-
ducts

Professor j. Willis Gleed in the Forum
says: Investors need not be alarmed
by the recent political revolution. IN
questionably, in the campaign, the ALI
ance leaders talked something very like
reputation. But on such topic they did
not carry the rank and file with them.
The leader himself, in office, is different
from the leader on the stump. The ALL
ance success was Chiefly the result of
low prices and bad crops. The farmer
was discontinued and he determined to
try what virtue there might be in poll
tics. He had no revolution in mind; no
definite economic plan to carry out.
Change of opinion, enlightenment and
conviction regarding economic questions
did not create the Alliance; discomfort
created it. If the movement hereafter
leads to enlightenment and conviction.
it will be well for the country. If it
does not the Alliance will be short lived.
In any case, nothing revolutionary need
be apprehended.

As Mr.. Lincoln was want to remark,
this reminds us Of an anecdote, said to
be founded on fact. A noted evangelist
held protracted meeting in certain
Kentucky town, and not long after the
meetings closed one of the converts-a
man Of the town who had been some
what addicted to his cups, was seen on
the streets in a rather timber con-
diUion. Taking advantage of the
preachers presence near by a skeptic
tauntingly called his attention to the
poor unfortunate with some remark
about the kind of work the average
preacher does. To this the minister
promptly replied with Eyes, l suppose
that is a fair specimen of my work, for
if the Lord had done it the poor fellow
would not be in that condition" And
there is great big text in the remark,
don't you think?

The attention of the enthusiastic de-
Tenders and champions of the Mckinley
bill in its alleged beneficial effects upon
the industries and commerce of the
country, is called TO the simple little
statement given out in yesterday morn

ton of the SOL 900. 600 of Il per cent
bonds that fall due September !: the
treasury department. it is said, is abuud-
sntlv able TO pay all of the S5l, 600, 900 of
II per cents outstanding; but in view of
the uncertainty as to future receipts and
expenditures. it Is judged better to take
the side of safety" The question tina

care of these bonds-pay them off-and

There is an idea extant that the word
boom is of western origin (Which may
be true) and thatit is applied to western
towns and cities exclusively, but this is
a mistake. Salonica, which is the last
place in Europe TO have a group of fail
ures, is an old town with new boom,
due to the extension OF the Austro-Ser-
Wan railroad system to the 4Egean at
this point. The result was a great in
crease in trade and rise in real estate
and now collapse and failure.

A colored woman in Atlansa, Ga. who
had attained distinction as a pastry cook
and for her estimable traits of character
died few days ago and the sad event
provoked more general manifestation
of regret among the white women
throughout the state than anything that
has occurred within a decade. II is
stated that expressions of sympathy
while the good woman was i'll were nu-
merous and profound, and that the floral
Offering for the funeral occasion were
select and profuse. All this appears in
odd though pleasing contrast with the
general idea of the social status of the
aces in the south.
