The gulf storm was even worse than that on the Atlantic coast few weeks ago The Sea island storm destroyed 1 900 lives. That on the gulf drowned and crushed to death 2,O0O. The Sea is land disaster left not less than 5000 peo- pie destitute because their crops had been destroyed. The gulf cyclone was 50 awful that 1t left few alivc to tell the tnle. Those few arc all strong, robust young men. The old, the weak and the ailing yielded quickly to the fury of a wall of water 15 feet high, driven by wind travelling at a velocity of ll5 miles .m hour. A more terrific war of the forces of nature has rarely been wit EeSSed on this continent. In some of the places raVa!rd not a child was left alive In many parts of the coast of Louisiana the land is only three feet above sea level. A Louisiana geOlogist expresses the opinion that the state was settled 300 years too soon and should have been left till the overflow of the Mississippi and the gradual rise of the land along the coast had made human i life safe. The only satisfactory reflec- ton in this melancholy business is that those who escaped the storms fury are ] tp all cases ablebodied young people who can make their way without trouble.

| IF Mir Edison desires to maintain his
 reputation for wisdom be had better con fine his utterances to matters pertaining to
 electricity and avoid any reference to 1 finances. His recent declaration in favor
 of pressing q dollars worth of wheat down l to the size of silver dollar and
 circulating it among the people is so absurd that it has set the country laughing at him. In the first place MT Edison will have to compress the dollars worth of
 wheat down to the silver dollar size before anybody will believe 1t can be done. Then 1 he will have to remove strong projuGces
 ot the people against turning into food the
 stuff that has been circulating through II kinds of hands and accommodating disease
 germs a~ 1t go,.s. Again he would haNr to
 guard against counterfciting or filling "f
 thr coins The rnterprlsiug man who
 wanted 10 turn all honest penny might s,apc enough of food from a silver dollar to nlakr a meal for his family and then send it on its travels. Suppose, too, a
 man chanced to drop dollar in the gut ter tn, huSheI or 50 of wheat which would immediately confront him would hardly be fit for consumption. His scheme to coin iron into dollars is no less absurd. Ii k hintcd that MT Edison k largely intcrr strd in an iron mino 10 account for his preroS- session in favor of that metal We don't believe that he WAS influenced by such considerations. The flct is Mir. Edison $ solid base is electricity and he get of his base when he tackled the money qucstion.

THE Selectm en. We understand. ask for appropriations in the aggregate amounting to nearly S15O.O To raise this they recommend the laying of n tax of four mills. As there will be no extraordinary expenses during the coming year to the DEMOCRAT the time seems Opportune for cutting down the tax rate. The annual report of the selectmeE shows that there has been n reckless expenditure of the peoples money. The bills for roads not under contract were large, especially for the two months preceding the election and other orders were drawn that have set people thinking. The report was ] held back until election day. which | in itself was suspicious, as it had been the custom when the democrats were ill power to circulate the report among the people a week or more before the date of the annual town meeting The com mittee appointed at Monday nights meet ing should make sesrching investigation and cut appropriations down to the bone. The sliPshod way of allowing the select men to spend much they please, is dangerous and should be abolished.
