JUDGE l.. N. BASS, of the city
court, publishes some figures in ref
erence to the cost of having man
convicted of vagrancy, which are
rather misleading and which We are
unable to understand unless the
Judge is opposed to enforcing the
city vagrancy law. The Squire pub
fishes the costs of convicting va
grant as $39. 40 including his board
while serving out fine of SO. He
neglects to state that the prisoner
has to work this fine and costs out
on the streets with hard labor. If the
Squire favors the selling of a va
grants time from the block rather
than by fine why should he not
favor selling the mans time to the
highest bidder when convicted OF a
plain drunk or gambling or of steal
ing? Why should be not favor sell
ing a mans time for life for murder?
The city vagrancy law is all right
and should be rigidly enforced. The
state law authorizing the selling OF a
mans time should and will be re-
pealed if it is found to be constitu-
tional and new and better law en-
acted in its place. OF course, ii
costs money to convict vagrants, but
this is no reason why they should
not be convicted aud under the city
law there is ample room for the fines
to amount to much more than Will
cover the costs in the case. II the
fine and costs are not paid in cash
the public gets the work on our
streets which surely need it.

Fifteen Thousand Men at Work.

According to the closest possible
estimate, Il, 900 men went to work
at the Worlds Fair yesterday, an
increase of more than 1 100 over the
strongest force that has been inside
the gates since dedication. Director
of Works Burnham was in a very
comfortable frame of mind over the
settlement of labor troubles and the
subsequent increased activity in all
the construction and installation for
ces. "We have a full force in the
department of works." he said in
answer to a query, "and are NOV
ing along all right. 1 should say
we had 5000 men of our own be-
sides the labor employed by con-
tractors on Exposition work. That
includes the landscape, installation,
color and carpentry divisions. The
contractors have all their old men
back and a good many more be-
sides. 1t would be hard to say with
out an actual count just how many
men are at work inside the fence and
on the plaisance, but it is enough
to make things move along at live
ly pace.
Mr.. Burnham's cheerful view of
the situation was shared by the con-
tractors and the returned strikers as
well. One of the union employers
made an estimate that showed a
complement of nearly $1,000 men
in all grades of labor, both union
and non union.

Colonel Dalton Cordially Received by
the President.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April IA
Colonel Dalton was presented to the
President to-day by Congressman
Champ Clark. He had a very pleas
ant interview with the President.
Mr.. Cleveland told him that the
Secretary of the Treasury had the
papers in his case, and would give
the matter attention. The interview
was brief but very cordial. Colonel
Dalton also saw the Secretary of the
Treasury to-day and SO did Senators
Cockrell and Vest. The Senators
urged the appointment of Colonel
Dalton as Surveyor of the Port of
st. Louis.
Mr.. Carlisle is making a very
close study of the transcript Of the
court proceedings in Mr.. Dalton's
case. 1t is said that he does not
place much stress on the charges
and is inclined to declare that Colo
mel Dalton was guilty of no wrong
doing or anything short of perhaps
mistaken judgment. 1t will be some
days yet, however, before anything
definite will be reached regarding
the matter. The chances for Colo
mel Dalton's getting the appoint
ment are still good, and those famil-
lar with the case believe that his ap-
pointment will be made before the
present session of the Senate comes
to an end.

Fatal Than at First Thought.

The storm on the night of the 11th
seems to have extended over most

extensive. Near Salem, Mo-, eight
persons were killed and two serious
ly injured; Lexington, Mo-, five
were killed and three fatally injured |;

STORM AT CENTRALIA.


CENTRALlA, NO., April PA
destructive cyclone passed over this
city last night about midnight, do
ing an immense amount of damage.
This storm came from the south
west and swept diagonally through
the city. The stores of Potts Bros.
and the Mercantile Company were
partly unroofed and the plate-glass
windows blown out. John Blanch-
ards two-story implement house
was torn to pieces, the Baptist
Church and Beach's livery stable
were partially unroofed, George Nc
Callister's dwelling was badly wreck
ed and Jonas McCallister was blown
out of the house. Elvin Little's
barn was scattered to the winds, and
outhouses leveled along the path of
the storm. South of here in the
country, Robert Blanton's barn was
demolished, W. o. McKenzie's resi-
dence was unroofed and his barn
and outhouses razed. A valuable
stallion was killed. The barns of
Coke Hit, VIM. Leach and Crock
Campbell were scattered to the winds.
Northeast of here Geo. Ridgeway's
barn was demolished. John Ray, a
farmer, tried to get his family in the
cyclone cellar when the storm struck
the house, and an clubhouse was
blown over on them, breaking his
little daughters collar bone, and
she is in a dying condition. The
devastation and ruin is widespread,
and reports continue to come in
about the damage in the surrounding
country. The cloud was funnel
shaped and moved with a rotary
motion, and the noise of the storm
was terrible and appalling.

GREAT PROSPERITY.

r. q. Dun's report for the year end
ing December 81, is something for the
American citizen to read and ponder
over. Demagogues may talk OF calam-
ity, but the trade reports chow that
there has been no calamity, but on the
contrary, that there has been great
prosperity during the past year.
"The most prosperous year ever
known in business" are the emphatic
words in which the years work lie
summed up.
Let this be inscribed upon the Re-
publican banners:
1892.
The first year in which the full force of the
Mckinley law was felt. The commercial agen-
cies report 1t as "The most prosperous year
ever known in business"
Here we rest. The country has de-
creed that the party whose policy has
brought about all this prosperity shall
give way TO another.
What that other party will do Se do
not know. What it has promised we
know, but it is party of unfulfiled
pledges. The pledges of the Republi-
can party are in the statute books.
The pledges OF the Democratic party
lie broken along its pathway. and the
only good thing it has done in this gen.
Grafton is the breaking of its pledges.
For this the country has to thank it.
II it iulflls the pledges upon which
it came into power it will adopt policy
the opposite OF that followed by the
Republicans. II after year and a
half of this policy it can point to such
increased prosperity as we have seen in
the past eighteen months under the
Mckinley tariff then it may at least
claim that protection has not had the
effect we attribute to it, But if, as now
seems probable, the Democratic party
shall keep up its reputation for timidity
and shall only modify, without ma
terially changing the protective features
of our tariff laws, then that party can
only have credit for having sense
enough to let well enough alone and
the people will rightly think that a
mistake was made in despising the
party which gave US laws their oppon-
epts dared not materially alter.

What the Homestead Strike Cost.
1t lasted five months, and the strikers
had to give in at last. The loss in wages
was $1,000 600. The less to the state
and to Allegheny county in maintaining
the soldiers and making good the dam.
age from the riot will be half a million
dollars. 1t was the most disastrous,
most barbarous strike ever known in
this country. Ten thousand men were
involved at one time. Ruin and bank
ruptcy to many business men at Home
stead was another of the results. "If
the strike had continued much longer 1t
would have ruined the town." says one
report. The loss to the firm is not
known.
Thirty-fve deaths are directly trace
able to the strike. One of these was
murder, another was suicide. That
the number was not thirty-six, and that
assassination was not added to murder
and suicide was only due TO the robust
constitution Of Superintendent II. G.
Frick.
The strike came because the Carnegie
company refused to sign what is called
the sliding scale of wages, which con-
cerned certain departments of their
works in which members of the Anal
gamated Iron and Steel association were
employed. 1t is called sliding scale"
because the wages slide up or down
with the price paid in the market for
steel billets.
All the millions of loss, the deaths
and destruction could have been avoided
by the application of one single word
arbitration. Even when your opponent
is dead wrong it is better to meet him in
conciliatory spirit and convince him
that he is wrong.

THE SUGAR bounty is likely to be a
source OF contention among Democratic
members OF congress. The majority
want it repealed, but some southern
members, notably those from Louisi-
ana, are opposed to it. On general
principles they are not in favor Of pro-
tection-that is, when it benefits the
other fellow; but when it brings money

1t is not the money Hunks received for
voting for t'other candidate at the late

paper currency, so offensive that nobody
would willingly touch it with a pair of

something worse when he handles it.
For his own comfort one shuns speculat-
ing on the probable history of that grimy,
foul smelling dollar bill he has received

Congressman Cultivate, from Ohio,
proposes if possible to give the people
clean, crisp bills, by making it less ex-
pensive for banks and business corpora
tons to return dirty money TO the treas
ury at Washington and get bright new
bills in exchange for it. AT present al
most the only people who give us nice
clean bills in exchange for our tattered
rags are the great dry goods firms. In

never gets filthy bank bills.
