The Storm.

The storm which started in the West
Indies few days since reached this vi
cinity yesterday and last night much
minor damage was done. Along the
Florida, Georgia and Carolina coasts
the storm was not as severe as that Of
last August and the damage was not so
serious as was anticipated. No casual
ties are reported from the South. The
storm seems to have followed the coast
and did not reach far inland. At Rich
mond and Petersburg the wind blew q
gale and rain fell in torrents. Tele-
graph wires, trees, fencing, walls, &c,
were blown down and other damage
done. Last night the storm was cen
trail over Virginia, and the indications
were that it would move northward to
the st. Lawrence.
A dispatch from New York says :
THE heavy storm of last night has
Frustrated the wires in all directions
and the Western Union reports that
business is practically at n stand-still."
At Baltimore the wind carried the
waters of the bay and the Patapsco riv-
er over all piers. doing immense dam
age. The flood reached TO Lombard
street, one street away from the river
front.
At Philadelphia the storm was quite
severe but did only little damage.
Along the Jersey coast the wind blew a
gale; the sea was very high and the
tides overlooked the low lands. The
storm proceeded north along the coast,
doing much minor damage in its course.

SENATOR QUAY says the silver repeal
bill, OF which he is supporter, can
never be passed, "not because there is
not q majority in its favor, but because
of the utter impotence of the Senate to
carry out its own will" And yet the
Constitution provides that majority of
the members of the Senate shall make
the rules governing the proceedings of
that body. The real fact is, that the
blame for the existing disgraceful and
humiliating Senatorial deadlock, lies,
not upon the few self-interested silver
Senators, but upon the large majority
of their opponents, who haven't the
moral courage to exercise the rightful
authority conferred upon them by the
Constitution.

SATURDAY EVENING OCT. IA, 1898.

THE LATEST rumor concerning MI
C,Ferrall's refusal to resign his seat In
Congress, so that his successor may DC
chosen without putting his State tothe
great expense of special election Is
that he may be doubtful of success III
his contest for the gubernatorial chair,
and NAV think it wise to hold on to the
Mace he has, until the one to which he
aspires shall be secured. Well, that
is certainly more plausible reason
than the one previously offered, that
he continues to draw his pay as Con-
oressman in order that he may fulfill
some of his personal promises by re-
tanning his Congressional influence.
Rut surely he must know that such a
reason affords his rival. Col. Cooke, the
best sort of campaign ammunition, and
no democratic nominee has the right to
risk the success of his party by pro-
vidipe for his own individual in
terests. 1t is not yet too late for Mr..
O'Ferrall to resign, aud thereby deprive
the populists ofthe ammunition referred
To- and at the same time spare the tax

unnecessary expense. The opportunity
is still before him. Will he allow it to

ACCORDING TO the present rules of
the Senate not only does the minority
in that body control it, but one man
can delay its proceedings indefinitely
by necessarily demanding the presence
OF majority of its members; and still
stranger, one member can set ali the
others at open defiance by occupying
his seat and refusing to vote, though
not excused by the Senate, and openly
assert, as his reason for doing so, that
he is responsible to his State, and not
to the Senate for his actions. This as
sertion that tue government of the
United States is democratic. is ''post-

NOTHING Is more frequent than the
denunciations of Wall street by southern
democrats-all New York being in
cluded in the words Wall street. The
lot of the South has been hard indeed,
but the people referred to evidently
don't know that it would have been in
finitely harder had it not been for
New York democrats, who have
always, to the utmost extent
of their power, stood by the
South, and, in many instances, sue
cessfully defended her against further
attempted outrage. The southern dem
ocrat who denounces the New York
members of his party, is either exceed
ingly i'll informed, or devoid ofthe quail
ity of gratitude.
