The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-04-12
THE DEATH OF THE REPUBLIC.


Against that we are strong. The exist
ence of vice and crime will not destroy
us while virtue is predominant. The
healthy body, by it's own vital action,
may be depended on to triumph over
and throw off the disease. Even the
liberation Of evil is not surely fatal, for
the dormant energies OF virtue may yet
be aroused. But one thing no nation
can survive, least OF all a republic, and
that is the dominance of vice.
When the vicious cease to ask toler-
alton or to court oblivion, but come
boldly forward, take possession Of the
lsw.msking power, frame statutes to
protect and exploit their vices, and snap
their fingers in the faces Of the honest
and the Virtuous, that nation is in the
crisis Of disease that will be mortal
unless some very potent ana very speedy
remedy be found.
What q spectacle has just been wit
messed at Trenton, New Jersey, where
the legislature elected q race-trRck
starter as speaker Of the house Of repre-.
sentstiVes, and rushed through three
bills to legslize one Of the mesnest forms
OF gambling throughout the state, re-
passed the same bills over the governors
veto with indecent haste, then promptly
adjourned, and fled to the Inauguration,
tn avoid the storm Of indignation gath
ering in the pulpits Of the state, and left
the discounted ministry, when they de-
scendsd upon the capital, to make such
terms as they could with the jsnitor for
the occupancy of the empty hall.
Yet what those legislators did is law,
binding on every good citizen in the
state, while what the ministers said is
but talk, not able to protect one town,
nor stop one race, nor hinder one gam
bier. The enemy hold the field.
How has sll this happenedP citizens
are asking. By what means have the
vicious elements gained this sudden
sscendsncy? Gentlemen, it has not
been sudden. These elements have been
coddled and nursed by many of the best
people and by q majority Of the voters Of
the state. The principle OF these gam
bling bills has been defended by clergy
men, lawyers, judges, teachers and edl-
tors and leading business men-that
government may lawfully derive reve.
nue. from vice, and that when vice is
inveterate and obstinate, the best thing
to do is to licenseit. That principle the
legislature Of New Jersey has carried
part way to its logical conclusion, and
only part way. There is much more in
the cup Of license, and the virtue Of
New Jersey will have more exceedingly
bitter dregs to drink unless they upset
the cup. 1t is little more than twelve
years since the high license movement
began, and already New York and New
Jersey have licensed gambling, and New
York's superintendent Of police declares
that prostitution never has been SUD
pressed, and never can be, and the best
thing is to tolerate and regulate" dis
orderly houses and restrict the vice-the
familiar arguments we have 80 often
heard applied to the saloon.
For several years there has stood upon
the statute books Of New Jersey law
empowering the governor to appoint q
county commission, with power to license

MANY TOWNS DAMAGED
Portions of Iowa, Kansas and
Nebraska Visited by a Sc
we're Cyclone.
A Number of People Reported
Killed but Particulars
Are Meager.

SIOUX Cry, Ia, April IA cyclone
passed over Northern Iowa between
and 8 p. M. It struck Akron and West
field, in plymouth county, at o'clock.
At 4:40 it struck Page, Neb., 100 miles
west of the the other two places. At
Akron the sky became dark about 2
o'clock 50 that lamps had to be lighted.
the storm came down very suddenly
from sthe northeast and in few
minutes Akron was almost in ruins.
The storm covered a wide path. The
iron wagon bridge across the Sioux
river was torn to pieces, the great iron
trusses being twisted and broken.
Houses We're unroofed or carried from
their foundations and destroyed. The
grain elevator
Was Torn to Pieces
and several store buildings were par
TALLY wrecked and unroofed. Akron
has about 500 people. The damage cam
not be learned accurately, nor details of
the storm, as wires are all down. The
storm followed the Sioux valley south
to Westfeld. It's path was marked by
demolished houses and barns. Two
people, man and his wife, were killed
at one farmhouse. Their names are not
yet known. Several others were badly
injured and many horses and cattle
were killed. No reports are received of
any devastation between these places.
At Page, Neb., the storm demolished
the Pacific Short Line depot and sew
eral houses, blew cars off the track and
injured woman and boy, names un-
known. The woman's condition is Sc
rious. The only reports received are
from the railroads.

a Number of People Killed and In
Jured in Montgomery County.
INDEPENDENCE, Kan, April 49,
Southwestern Kansas, and particularly
Montgomery county, was visited by a
terrific cyclone during the evening
which left path of death and destruc-
ton behind it. This city was only on
the extreme edge of the storm and suf-
fered little damage, but reports from
the surrounding country and small
towns show great destruction of prop
erty and loss of life, full particulars of
which it is impossible to get at present
as wires are all down. The little town
of Parks, 10 miles south of here seems to
have got the worst of the storm. Of
the business houses situated around the
public square two We're left standing,
the others being completely wrecked.
1t is known several persons were killed
and large number injured, but it is
impossible to learn the details and
names of the dead and injured. Leav-
ing Parker scene of wreck and ruin,
the deadly wind swept on to the north
east, leveling farmhouses, barns and
fences before it. Two farmhouses in
the eastern portion of this county are
known to have been wrecked and it is
certain that this represents but small
portion of the damage done.

ROACH CASE DISCUSSED.
Investigation Of the North Da-
kota Senator Considered in
Secret Session.
IF Republicans Continue to
Push the Matter Democrats
Will Retaliate.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The Roach
case came prominently to the front in
the executive session of the senate and
was the cause of some rather plain talk
from both sides of the chamber. The
senate only went into secret session
after yea and nay vote in which it
was developed that the Democrats had
enough members present, added to the
Republicans, to make a voting quorum.
As soon as the doors were closed the
Republicans propounded an inquiry
as to what the other side meant by re-
fusing to permit the committee on
privileges and elections to report the
resolution relative to the contest of Mr..
Martins seat by Mr.. Ady, a resolution
that had been agreed upon in the COM
mittee at the meeting Saturday, and
further why they had exhibited what
appeared to be bad faith in
The Roach Resolution,
o resolution which the Republicans
contenied had been agreed to by Demo
Gratis on the floor of the senate. This
at once precipitated a discussion in
which it was developed that the Demo-
Gratis were opposed to taking up the
Roach case at this time and wanted to
postpone any further action until the
next session of congress. 1t was de-
clared by Democratic leaders. as had
been stated by them before, that if the
Roach case was gone into, there We're
others that should be taken up as well.
The Republicans retorted that they
were afraid Of no investigation concern
ing any of their members but they in
sisted that some positive action should
be taken in this particular case. After
o long discussion of the two views SO
vehcmently adhered to by retrospective
sides tine question was laid aside with
ont any definite action being taken.

DESERVING SIOUX FALLS.

The Divorce Applicants Now Make
Fargo Their Mecca.
FARGO, N. D., April 12.-Fargo now
seems to be the divorce Mecca for the
unhappily married couples. Eighteen
aspirants for the dissolution of their
marriage vows have recently arrived
here, five of the number coming from
Sioux Falls, s. d. South Dakota has
changed the divorce law, doubling the
length of residence necessary before ac-
ton may be commenced for divorce. In
North Dakota an effort was made to
increase the length of residence re-
quired before suit could be COM
menced, but it failed and the law re-
mains as of old. This contest to change
the law brought North Dakota into
prominence than ever before, and greater
the result is seen in the present influx
of short-time citizens.
