" the negroes in the South ought TO
know whether their rights are respect

FRIDAY EVENING. SEPT. /, 1893.
THE DETERMINATION of the demo-

TIVE DETERMINATION Of the demo-
cratic majority of the ways and means
committee OF the democratic U. >.
House of Representatives to allow
few people, the profits of whose private
business are doubled by the Mckinley
tariff bill. to argue against the repeal OF
that bill, is by no means indicative OF
the wisdom of the majority referred to
or Of the success of the work thereof.
The men to whom the work of framing
the new tariff bill has been entrusted
have been reading and hearing and
thinking about the tariff for years, and
if they be competent workmen, they
know as much about it now as they can
possibly know after listening to fifteen
days' talk in favor of high tariff by
men whose own selfish interests will be
promoted by the maintenance of such
a tariff. If they be capable OF prepar-
ing a bill in accordance with democrat
ic principles, one that will do the great
est good to the greatest number, they
can do so just as well before as after the
unnecessary and useless and injurious
DELAY referred to. They have recently
voted against taxing all the other peo-
pie of the country for the especial bene-
fit of the silver mine owners, and
they should not spare moment of the
time devoted to the preparation OF a
bill the object of which is to relieve the
many poor people of the country from
the oppressive tax that is now imposed
on the necessarics OF life, for no other
purpose than to increase the profits OF
few rich and protected manufacturers
and mine owners, who, by its means,
form "trusts" and combines" that
drive out Of business their individual
competitors and thus secure for them
selves monopolies.

THE RECENT STORM.
One Thousand Persons Believed to
Have Persisted.


Have Persisted.
Advices from Beaufort, S. c., says
that over three hundred and ninety
dead bodies have been found on the
islands about Beaufort and Port Royal.
Over two millions of property has
been wrecked near the same points.
Both are the direct result of severe
storms which swept along the Atlantic
coast Sunday night. Every one of the
fifteen or twenty islands lying around
Port Royal and Beaufort are mourning.
On every doorkuob there is bunch OF
Grape and upon every hillside there are
fresh made graves. The beaches, the
underground, trees and shrubbery, the
marshes and the inlets are revealing
dead bodies every time an investlga-
ton is made. Those who are at all
posted about the country and the habits
of the people in the storm-visited sec
tons are confident in their prediction
that the death-roll will run as high as
500. Some of the best people of that
section of the State even place the loss
at more than 1000. There has not
been an hour of the day since the early
hours on Monday morning that dead
bodyhad not been found atsome point on
one of the many islands. As the waters
recede and the people move deeper in
to the wreckage gathered by the storm,
the gastly remains are uncovered. so
frequently are these discoveries that
finding a single body attracts no at,
tention at all. 1t takes the discovery Of
at least halfa dozen or more to induce
them to show any feelings whatever.
1t is around Beaufort and Port Royal
that the death rate was the greatest.
The latter place is in ruins. Receiver
Averill, of the Port Royal and Angus
ia Railroad, says that the loss Of life on
Sea Islands, S. c., far exceeds any.

short of six hundred. Great destltu-
ton exists among the remaining inhab-
itants and earnest appeals are made
for provisions,
REPORTS from the South Carolina
coast tell Of great destruction and con-
seoueut restitution from the effects
of the storm. Houses were washed
away, crops ruined and vessels wreck
ed and abandoned.
In Charleston nine persons met their
death during the storm. Three others
were drowned at James Island, and
three more were killed on Sullivan's
island, The city is rapidly recovering
from the effects Of the storm. Candles
are still being used for the purpose OF
atfording light at night.
Reports Of the damage of the storm
in the outlying districts of Florida are
coming in slowly. Ten bloated bodies
of victims of Sundays cyclone have
been found.
At Brentland, near Port Tobacco,
Nd, the farm of the late Hon. George
Brent, where his young daughters live,
the storm OF Monday night did the
damage of hurricane. 1t completely
wrecked the steamboat wharf, unroot-
ed the large carriage house and stable,
cut and injured the growing corn and
tobacco. The high tide made up so
far on the river banks as to carry of
the entire supply ofseveral tons Of coal
provided for the coming winter. These
ladies suffered a great loss last summer
from storm by which the roof and
two chimneys on the dwelling house
were destroyed and many valuable
trees uprooted.

request, by the by, was recommended

ed fifteen others of the passengers and
crew. Two European engineers sur
viyed unhurt. After this slaughter the
Chinese looted the vessel, ran her on
the coast and departed with their booty
and several captiyes. The steamer will
be foated.
Meagre details were also received by
the China steamer of the destruction,
by Chinese mob, of Roman Catholic
chapel and several consorts' houses at
Genkiawan, a town near the city of
Mienyang, about 100 miles from Han
kow. The European priest in charge
received warning and escaped. Two
native converts were killed by the riot
ers, who came from distance. The
French priest, after barbarous treat

A CURIOUS ATrACK.-Mattie Sides, a
Young girl employed at a boarding
house at Columbia, Pa, has been the
victim of peculiar affection. When
she finished washing the dishes in very
hot water she went to the ice box to
arrange something. To do this, it was
necessary for her to thrust her right
arm into the box When she did this
the cold atmosphere suddenly paralyz-
ed her arm, which fell helpless to her
side. and in few minutes her hand be-
came cramped, and the arm swelled to
twice its normal size. The paralysis
then passed from her arm into her neck
and face, producing something similar
to lockiaw, from which she suffered
great pain. A physician was immedi-
ateIy summoned and did everything in
his power to relieve the girl of her suf-
fsriag. but medicines were of no avail.
Finally hot irons were applied to the
arm and neck, which alieviated her
suffering somewhat.
