DANGER ON THE LowLANDs.

The Work Of Drainage Already Begun
Opposite the City.
Sundays storm has not departed with
out leaving its mark in more ways than
one. As is weIl-6nown, the heavy winds
blew the salt water up the river for
miles. On Sunday night the entire sur
face of the river was covered with salt
water, which was blown into the fields on
every side, and when the waters subsidized
a great deal OF it remained in the pools
and lowlands on the marshes.
This salt water was the result of the
death Of all the young rice in the fields

The Loss of Life in the Sea Islands
During the Storm.
In the country between New river,
South Carolina, and the Savannah river,
the negroes report that over a hundred of
their people were drowned. The country
is so intersected with rivers and there
has been such a total destruction of
bridges and blockade of roads that there
probably never viii be any further par
ticulars of this great loss of life, BY
the time matters resume their normal
condition it will be impossible IN such a
country and among such a people to OBJ
tain any definite account Of the calamity
that has befallen them. Those who
know where and how these people live
can realize how great the loss of life
might be in such a storm as that OF Sun

Lieut. Wadhams, u. S. n. in an in teresting
article in tho Christian Union, on the New
United States Navy, gives the following
interesting statements concerning the power
of the new guns, and the efficiency of the
new armor:
The largest gun which we are to mount
on board the new ships is the thirteen-inch
gun, weighing 90 tons. The shell of this
gun weighs 100 pounds, and the charge is
300 pounds As the projectile leaves the
muzzIe of the gun it will strike blow equal
to that struck by one ton OF iron if it foil
from a height OF SIX and tnres-tenths miles.
At distance of one mile the projecte will
perforate 30 inches of steel. Its range is
Is miles, to which distance it fires the pro-
jectile in about one minute; and it costs S215
to fire the gun with full service
charge. The secondary battery will
consist of II rapid firing guns which
will fire projectiles varying in
weight from one to one hundred pounds.
These guns are well named. The six-inch
guns, which fire projectiss weighing 100
pounds, can fire five shots in two minutes
and b, seconds; and rapidity of fire Of
five shots in II seconds has been attained
from the four-inch guns, whose proJectiles
weigh 33 pounds, the firing being so rapid
that the five shells can be kept in the air
together. The secondary battery OF the
new battle-ships will fire $50 shots in one
minute, and il all the guns of the ship are
fired at once they wlll fire over three tons Of
metal at a single discharge.
The armor OF our ships will be ma lie
from nickelsteol, treated by the Harvey
process. From actual experimental firing
it has been shown at our naval proving
ground that this armor is superior to all
others. 1t is SO tough that five shells, each
weighing $50 pounds, were fired against a
plate ut "A distance of only 80 feet, and they
did not crack the plate, although each shell
struck with an energy OF 5000 tons to the
square foot.
This experimental firing has demonstra-
ted that this country, in the rebuilding OF
its navy, will protect its armored cruisers,
monitors, and battle5hils with material
vastly superior 20 that which has been used
in other countries. The rebuilding of the
navy has also shown that our resources are
so great that, if people demand it, we can
easily become the first naval power.

Change INAUGURATION Day.

The agitation for a change in the date OF
the Inauguration OF president has been re-
vived by tho introduction of Joint resolu-
tion by Senator Sherman having this end in
view. Inasmuch as only the Senate is now
in session this step is likely to result in little
save emphasizing the need and desrability
of the change in question, but the resolution
will undoubtedly prepare the way for early
action in the matter on the part OF both
branches of Congress.
The joint resolution provides for the sub
mission to the Legislatures OF the States OF
an amendment to the constitution fixing
April 30, 1897, instead Of March 4, 1897, as
the limit of the current presidential term,
and OF the life OF the Fifty fourth Congress
and providing that the terms OF the presi-
dent and vice-president and OF the mem
beers of the two houses of Congress shall
thereafter begin and end on April 30 instead
OF March d. The terms of senators expiring
on March 4 1891, are also extended to
April 80 Of that year.
1t will be remembered that plan some
what similar to this which was presented in
the House last winter by Mr.. Grain Of
Texas was defeated by decisive vote. Mr.
Grain proposed a change of the date Of
the Inauguration ceremonies from March 1 to
April 80, but he sought also to destroy all
coincidence in the expiration OF congress
sional and presidential terms by making
the terms OF senators and representatives
begin and end on December 81 instead
of March 4. Tho Congress chosen on the
first Tuesday after the first Monday Of No.
vember would. under Mr. Crains arrange
ment 60 into office on December 81 of the
same year; but the president and vice.
president chosen at the same time would
not be inaugurated until April 80 of the
following year. This radical change was
strongly objected to in the House, and
caused the defeat of tho joint resolu-
/ ton.
Senator Sherman's remedy is much more
simp than was that proposed 10y Mr. Grain
and as it would plainly bs effective its adop-
ton is among the probabilities of the next
session of Congress. 1t is moreover an op-
| perfume time to advocate this change. The
| fact that Mr.. Cleveland was Obliged to uu-
dergo the most severe exposure in Sat
urday g storm during the tedious hours oil
the Inauguration has served 10 recall that
the first President Harrison caught the cold
that ended his life on the day he was in
augurated, and wonder Is expressed thai
Mr. Cleveland was able to escape an attack
OF pneumonia, The change is likely to gain
new advocates rapidly from now on until il
is an accomplished fact.

the meeting OF the executive committee was
the advisability of establishing headquarters
OF the league at Chicago Immediately after
the close OF the convention for the conduct
OF a systematic campaign. This is a wise
thing to do and it is to be hoped that this
project will be carried into effect. The OK
ecutive committee considered the merits of
the five candidates for the presidency of the
league, Joseph b. Foraker of Ohio, W. w.
Tracy of Illinois, Colonel +. A. McAlpin of
New York, James S. Clarkson of Iowa, and
j. b. Patton OF Michig an; and it is not i'm
probable that the committee settled so far
rs its own opinion was considered the ques-
ton as to the most available and efficient
man for the position. Much depends upon
the action OF the league at the
coming convention and its course will have
not little influence in determining the pre-
,imnary steps Of the republican party in
the congressional aud State campaign of
1894, for which arrangements must soon be
made. Republicans have no reason to be
discouraged, especially when the record and
persistence Of their rivals during many
years OF retirement are mbered, and,
we can rest assured that republican prnci-
pies will in the long run prove more accept
able than those OF any other party to a ma
jority of the people of our country.

The veteran OF the present Senate is JUS
tin Morrill, OF Vermont Mr.. Morrill's
years are apparent in his slow movement
ald bowed shoulders, which have bsen bent
with the weight OF many public problems
His position on the finance committee, OF
which he has been the chairman tor 80
many years, has served to edd emphasis to
his thorough knowledge of tariff questions.
Since 1857 he has held seat in the Senate,
aud prior to that time he sat in the House
OF Representatives from 1870. His con-
gressional career, therefore, extends over
nearly 40 years. Had not Senator Sher
man left the Senate TO serve as secretary
OF the treasury in the Hayes cabinet,
tho Ohio senator would have au
equally surprising record, as Mr.. Sherman
and Mr.. Morrill, entered Congress in the
same year, and the former entered the Ssn-
ate in 1861. Judged By the rules of soma
torial precedence, however, he caunot claim
to rank above other senators whose terms
Of continuous ser vice began in "the seven
ties as the Ohio senator did not return to
the Senate from the Hayes cabinet until
1851, although in 1885 lie became president
OF the Senate.
Next to Senator Morrill, on the roll Of
precedence comes Senator Ransom OF NortL
Carolina, who entered the upper House III
1872. Then comes the stalwart Allison o.
Iowa and the patriarchal Jones of Nevada
the former rigid examiner of appropria
tons, the latter tho aggressive but good
humored enemy of the my thlcal 'golC
