The Recent Storm.
RARELY has the northwt st ever wit
nesssd such a s4sirnus storm as the
one which swept the lakes last Friday
and Saturday. Toe terrific wiz ds were
accompanied by heavy rain ana snow.
and the sudden change of Temperature
from nearly 900 in the shade to S30
made the sufferings of alors almost
beyond description, VESSELS were
driven ashore and six of crew OF
eight were drowned or died from
cold and exhaustion within Z of n mile
of land and in sight of hundreds OF
persons who stood on the shore OF the
harbor Of Milwaukee. The Milwaukee
Life saving station crew comes In for
severe censure A lamentsbie lack Of
skill and grit was shown by both
officers and men True. he waves
were unusually high and the Wind
fierce. but these are no excuse for
those whose duty it is to save he lvss
of others All modern life saving appli-
auces were in their hands bnt they
lacked the courageto use them until too
late. These faii.w, ather braves need
overhauling and very probably n
change Of employ msnt rot for heir
own health perhaps, bui for the health
of others. Cowaids are never good
life savers.
CHARLES W. FgLKER, of Oshkosh,
one Of the prominent attorneys Of the

democratic party at a lively rate.
The following are extracts from an
interview printed in the Chicago In

CLEVELAND AND ANARCHY.
If you will look over Mr.. Cleye-
lands speeches and alleged state pa
pers YOU will find more of socialism
and anarchy than in the utterances of
any other public man unless it be
Senator Palmer of Illinois In their
talk about the toiling and the moiling
of the downtrodden people they are
rs bad as John Most and the other
anarchists, and | believe that Grover
Cleveland is responsible for Coxeyism
and all other types of anarchy that
exist in this country to-day | know
Of no other man 60 compare with
Cleveland unless ii Be old Chadband
as Dickens has pictured in Bleak
House. Mr.. Cleyeland's sober plati-
tudes are as high sounding and as
meaningless rs those OF old Chaband.
You remember Chadband's sermon
when he employed little rag-a- muffin
for his example, and said: say this
brother present here among rs is de-
void of parents. devoid OF relations,
devoid of focks and herds. devoid of
gold, devoid of silver, of precious
stones, because he is devoid of the
light that shinesin upon us. What
is that light9 What is it2 | ask YOU
what is that light2'
"Then leaning over the table and
fixing his eyes upon Snagsby, old
Chadband continues 1t is the ray
of rays, the sun of suns, the star of
stars. 1t is the light of Herewith. of
Herewith. Say not to me that it is
not the lamp Of lamps. | say to YOU,
it is. 1t is! | say to you that | will
proclaim II 70 YOU whether you like
y or not Nay, that the less you like
u I'm. the more VIII proclaim II to You.
WIN speaking trumpet' say toI
you that u YOU rear Yourself against
# YOU shall tai, You shall he bruised,
YOU Shail pc battered you shall BE-
hoored' You shall he smashed
"Ihat Is old Chadband, rs Dickens
reported him and that is as intelli-
gent, as the sounding platimdes otI
MI cleveland. It's piatltudes about
