Intemperauce, like treason, ought to be
made odious in the land, and there is very
close similarity between the two. The
reasonable man endeavors TO dethrone the
rightful sovereign, and intemperance de-
thrones the reason from her throne: and
reason is the presiding spirit of our soul, the
ruler Of our soul.-Cardlnal Gibbons.

look out for these purchased desertions.
The fact that free speech in the south
iS almost impossible at this time Is not
denied by both General Weaver and Mrs.
Lease. But the crime Is not and has not
been confined to the south. In 1890 and
1891 Col. Polk, the president of the farm
erS alliance, while on q visit from North
Carolina to Kansas, was used as brutally
BY republican ruff1sns In Kansas as was
Gen. Weaver by the democratic hoodlums
Of Georgia.
The brutality of the Kansas republi-

Gated by the Cleveland ruffians In Macon
and Columbus, Ga. Gen. Weaver warns
the great west to pay attention to princi-
pie and let the Cleveland Harrison party
take care Of themselves.
Gen. Weaver says:
"Never mind the ruffianism Of the
south, never mind the utterAnces Of the
republican rowdies who drove Col Polk,
Of North Carolina, and president Of the
farmers alliance, ous Of Kansas. Never
mind the wrongs Of the two corrupt old
parties; stand firm for the right and for

that Weaver was denied free speech in
the south, and that "the confederacy is
In the saddle" and that the time has ar
rived for "solid north" to meet 'solld

used as an excuse for every Populist

DEs MONIES, Iowa, Oct. General
Weaver and Mrs. Mary Lease, the latter
the famous lady Popullst from Kansas,
who, with Mrs. Weaver, has accompanied
the general in his canvass extending
through twentyfour states Of the union,
arrived in this city this morning from
Mount Pleasant and OttumWa, Ia, at
both of which places they addressed Inn
mense meetings Of farmers and lsboEing
men.
I This afternoon the general and Mrs.
Lease addressed 1000 farmers in grove
one mile south of the city. To night Mrs.
Lease discussed the issues Of the cam
paign from the standpoint Of the Peoples
party In the immense hall of the Y. M.
@. A. building, which was thEonged with
a cultivated and refined audience, while
General Weaver spoke to q large over
flow meeting at the court house.
At the close Of the meeting the NesUs
correspondent solicited and was accorded
an interview by Mrs. Lease with refer
ence to widely circulated report that
she had advised the POpullsts to "vote
for Harrison" and ''thst vote for Weaver
is vote for Harrison"
"No, sir, l never said that, nor any
thing that could be construed or dis
torted into such meaning"
"Have you any intention Of going to
New York to stump the state for Hsrrl-
son or for the benefit Of the republlcans?"
81 answer no TO both questions. The
story Of this matter 80 widely circulated
was conceived and sent out by the re-
publicaus, and they will give currency
to other like Infamous fRlsehoods before
the campaign is over.
"In conclusion, permit me to say TO the
NeiUs and our friends in Colorado and
the other great silver states, that do not
consider Benjamin Harrison in the con-
test. / do not believe he has any earthly
chance of election. The great battle Of
ballots this fall is between Cleveland and
Weaver, and with a fair count Weaver
can carry every southern state. Every
thing possible will be done to help the
people Of the south secure an honest
election. In fact, the only hope for the
south Is the success Of the Peoples party.
l remain with General Weaver and party
until the close Of the campaign. The
speaking will be in Iowa, Minnesota, the
Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas"

New Orleans Swept by Fire.

Several Large Cotton Presses, $4,000
Bales of Cotton, and over $50 Build
Ings Destroyed---LOss $4,000. OOO---
4 Cigarct the Cause Of the Larger Fire.
The two largest fires ever known in New
Orleans began almost simultaneously Sun
day morning, destroying IL squares of
property and $1,000 bales of cotton, and
causing loss of more than $500, 600.
Each fire was the result Of carelessness
and the great destruction is due to long
drOuth, causing n dry condition of houses
and cotton. There was a strong breeze
blowing and the fire department which was
re0rganiZed in January from the volunteer
to the paid system, has been cut down to
about onc-tenth of its former members.
The new men had not got accustomed
thoroughly to their duties and were unable
to cope with the fires. The first fire began
at five minutes to 10 o'clock, in some cot
ton stored on the pavement in front of the
iireproof cotton press on the corner of Rob
in and Front streets. 1t is not usual to al
low cotton to be so stored, but the stock on
hand here is so large-mOre than 100000
bales-that the law about storing cotton on
the pavement was allowed to become a
dead letter. Some one i'm passing threw a
lighted cigaret among the cotton. 1t
smouldered, and finally burst into blaze.
The fire was so small that at first little at
tention was paid to it and it might easily
have been stopped. The cotton was so
dry that it spread rapidly, and the flames
soon attacked the press itself. Then the
attempt to stop the fire proved futile, and
it spread to other large presses until 63,500
bales of cotton, valued at 2,220,0OO, the
presses valued at $4,000, and large
amount of other property had been de
stroyed. While the fire was in progress a
woman living II squares away, in attempt
ing to use coal oil in stove, set fire to her
house. The flames from this fire spread
from the poorer to a better residence sec
tion of the city, burning in all lS5 houses
and property to the value of S6OO,OOO.
Three fremen were badly injured by the
fall of buildings. The valuable cotton
presses had been sold to an English syndi-
cate the day before, hut possession had not
been rendered.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
FEARFUL T0RNAD0ES
Sweep Over Several Western
States.

Kansas the Scene of the Greatest Havoc
---Finy People Killed aud Many In
jUred---One Town wiped Out or EN-
Istcnce---A building at Chicago Blown
Down, Causing Seven Deaths.
4 tornado swept over several Western
Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa,
Texas and IllinOis-during the latter part
of last week. The greatest destructiveness
was in Kansas on Thursday night, Butler
county suffering most severely. Towanda,
village of 1900 inhabitants, was entirely
destroyed, not house being left standing.
Several bodies have been taken from
the ruins, 20 persons are fatally and
40 seriously injured, and a large number
more or less manned. At other places the
storm ragged furiousy. Three persons
were killed outright at Augusta. An in
FAINT was blown from mothers arms and
dashed against a brick wall. At Leaven-
worth, st. Joseph, Lawrence, Atkinson,
Ottawa, and Kansas City the wind reached
great velocity, and buildings were damag-
ed.
Near Burlington, Iowa, train was
blown from the track and baggageman,
mail clerk and two passengers seriously in
jured.
At Chicago Friday night the wind blew
az a hurricane rate, and seven-story brick
building at Halstead and Peace streets was
demolished. 1t was surrounded by one and
two-story frame and brick buildings, the
homes of humble laborers, and crashing
upon them instantly. Seven persons were
killed and others injured.
Havoc was wrought to the build

loss of life was small. At Nelson several

4 Holocaust in Mandalay.
Two Hundred People Burned to Death
and Thousands HOmeless---The Prop
erty Loss S5,OOO,OOO.

The foreign dispatches state that three
fohrths of the city of Mandalay, the CAPT
tai of Burmah, is in ashes. The whole
business portion, including the English
buildings and the Old palace, has been
swept away. Two hundred people were
burned to death and many more were in
iured. Thousands of people are homeless
and there will be great suffering unless
food and medicine are received at once
The population of Mandalay is about 20O,-
600. 1t fell into the hands of the British
when they conquered Upper Burmah few
years ago. Before the conquest white
man could visit the city only at the peril of
his life. Now, however, it is connected
with the outside world by rail.
Soon after the British troops marched
into the city it was fired by dacOits, as the
robber bands of Burmah are called, and
thousands of houses were burned. BAN
boo enters largely into the construction of
the houses. The British have been putting
up some substantial buildings, but the rest
of the city is and always has been finder
box. In 1886 this city was inundated by a
great freshet in the Irrawady river, though
an embankment 40 feet high is supposed to
furnish adequate protection. A tract five
miles long by two wide was under water
from four to % feet and $4,000 people
were driven out of their houses. So Man
dalay in recent years has had her full share
of great misfortunes.
Three fires occurred within few hours
of each other. They are supposed to have
been of incendiary origin. The total prop
erty loss amounts to 50 100000.
