THE COLD WAVE.


III FOilOWeO IN the wake OF HOuhg
Cyclone.
Last Friday afternoon heavy gale
struck this city from the West, accom-.
panied by heavy rain, 1t was little
short of a genuine tornado. Several
squares Of the tin roof on the foundry
rolled off in a wrinkled heap, numer-
GUS shade trees we're uprooted and the
cornice gable Of the Carlisle Hotel was
snatched from it's place and hurled
into the street by the fury of the winds.
1t lasted about an hour, and bore upon
its rushing wings a feeling OF awe and
fear. When it reached the country
few miles from town it moved down
the timber in it's path.
1t pretty we'll cleaned up everything
in its way, and added new and dan
gerous element to its Iorce-hail. In
some localities it was of such enor-
nous size as to 60 right through the
windows, leaving only the paneless
sash. 1t done considerable damage
TO crops and pelted the trees so merci-
lessly that the forests which withstood
the fury of the wind were stripped Of
their foliage by the hail. A good
many out buildings we're blown over
and quite a lot unroofed, but. as far
as heard from, no one was hurt, though
several narrowly escaped.
1t kept on raining after the tornado
had passed and scarcely ceased fol
. twenty four hours. The thermometer
began falling Friday night and by

freezing point. If it had cleared NJ

'''''.f Geo Ne Mile casting the only
,.,s dNt Io,e. Tue same thing vas
developed in thevitc upon the duties
on chronic and citric acid. On Sat
urday only a part of the Republicans
supported the compromise amendment
on fannie acid, but all voted for that
on tartaric acid. In general, it may
be said that while these compromise
amendments, dictated by trusts and
specially favored manufacturers" do
not fix the rates as high as the Repub-
licans want them, they are supporting
the amendments which raise rates,
Nothing could be more absured than
the pretense that the Republicans are
opposed to concessions to trust, They
are denouncipg now the granting OF
twelve and one-half cents to the 10C
pounds protection to the Sugar Trust
Yet they insist that the Mckinley law
which gives fifty cents protection, oil
four times as much shall be let alone
This is q measure of the sincerity Of
their prolessed hostility to trusts,
The prediction OF the Tribune as &c
the action of the Republicans on the
compromise amendments was proved
untrue in few hours after it was pub
lished. The role of prophet is ont
that is beset with many perils.-Coor

How to Avoid Scandal,

The Senate has ordered an invest.
cation Of the various allegations Of
bribery and corruption in connection
with the pending tariff bill. This is
quite right, though it ia tolerably safe
TO assume that the investigation com

Importance, There seems to be .
pretty strong case against an irrespon.

tanners thu. tho tiger is more to be
feared than II lion, 01e will kill a

but the lion gives fair warming of his

TheD.irect Tax.

The statement which has appeared
in some of the newspapers to the eff
feet that the money received from,
the Government on account of the
direc. tax is to be distributed among
individuals, is entirely erroneous.
BY an Act of Congress approved Aug
9th 1861, AK of one mill on each
500, was levied on all property of
the States and Te ritories and the
District of Columbia This was
called direct war tax, and was as
sessed and collected in the same
manner. as all other taxes. Ii went
into the State and Territorial treas
uries, and was paid to the Treasurer
of the United States by the treasur-
ers of the several States and Terri
tories.
Therefore no individual has any
claim upon any OF this money. The
then Territory of Nevada paid S4o92.
By an act of Congress approved
March 3, 1891, sum of money was
appropriated to the several States
and Territories, to reimburse them
in full, Q5 per cent having been paid
under an act of Congress approved
July :, 1881
On April Fl, 1858, a check was re-
ceived by the Governor for the bal
ance Of the money due Nevada,
of SS903 Z. which was paid by him
int, the State Treasury where it
mist rsniin in the general fund.
It is probable this transaction
has bs.n COMPOUNDED with the In>
dian War Claims which are held by
individuals, aud which as yet. have
have not been adjudicated, nor h.s
any appropriation been male by
Congress covering the same.

NEVADA, UTAH AND STATE
HOOD.

Speaking IF the annexation of
Utah to Nevada, this singular state
of facts is made clear: There is no PEI
tition from the men of Utah, or from
the men of Nevada, for such fusion.
The Senators from Nevada do not
desire it. None of the high contract.
ing parties express any wish for such
an alliance. We presume that is the
reason it is being urged on the quiet
by certain Democrats, who are deter
mined that no more Republican Sen
ators or Congressman shall come
from the West if they can help it.
We are aware that Nevada has not
now the population necessary to
maintain it's pla ce as State in the
Union, but it seems to us the sensible
way to manage that would be to give
Utah Statehood, and in her Consti-
tuition put in the necessary provisions
so that she might accept any ajacent
territory offered t. her, and then
leave it to the men of Nevada wheth-
err or not they wish to join their
fortunes with Utah. We think the
result, eventually, would probably be
to move the California line east to
the meridian which n arks the eastern
boundary of Oregon, giving all east
OF that to Utah, and then Califor-
MIA into North and South California,
about on the line drawn west from
the point where the eastern line Of
Oregon, continued south, would
strike the present State of Califcr nia.
All that country was once a part Of
Utah. and we think that at least
half of the State of Nevada should
be, pretty soon, attached to Utah.
Then we think California ought to
be two States, because, by wealth,
by population, and in area, she aught |
to have the influence of two more ,
Senators in the Congress of the
United States. We think North
and South California are drifting
apart, and were that State divided,
either half would contain as great an
area as all New England, with New
jersey, Maryland, and Delaware
added, and with half of Nevada to it
either State would be twice as large |
as all the New England States COM
bined. The reason we think Nevada
would want division on some such
lines as we have marked out, is that
Ill western Nevada is already almost
as much part of California as any
If the northern counties of Califor-
mia itself. San Francisco is their
depot, and We think they would pre-
fer going that way than to be attach>
ed to Utah, with the perfect certain
ty that their capital, and nearly all
their public institutions would, in
very short time, be removed east.
