The storm record was not kept with any
approach to accuracy in former times in
this country, but in the first half of the
century number of disastrous tornadoes
are recorded. There was a visitation of
the kind in 1910, by which as many per-
sons were killed and injured as were killed
and injured by all the tornadoes which
have swept the western country thus far
this year, previous to the one at st. Louis.
In June, 1912, Adams county, Mississippi,
was visited by tornado which killed 500
persons. The fatalities nearly equalled
those chargeable to all the cyclones and
storms which visited the entire country in
1894, and exceeded the storm casualties of
the country in 1895.
The tornado is more likely to appear in
May and June than in other months, but
it seems to have all seasons for its own.
On the 9th of February, 1884, there were
sixty of these disturbances, distributed
over the territory of eight states. The re-
sultant deaths were S00 persons injured,
2500; buildings destroyed, estimated at
10000 The storm which directly caused
the greatest loss of human life during the
century was that which devastated the
Gulf coast of Louisiana in October, 1898,
when 1000 perished. The greatest money
loss inflicted by violent wind storm was
that suffered by the residents of Wisconsin
and Minnesota in September, 1884, the es-
innate reaching $4,O0O,0O0 The Middle
and New England states are not included
in what is scientifically designated as the
tornado region, but these states have not
been exempt from such callers.

Ex-senator Edmunds,s views.

81 said the platform ought to express
with absolute clearness the position of the
party on that subject, one that could not
be misunderstood in one sense in one state
and in another sense in another state; and
l said that any party that undertook to
straddle deserved to be beaten"
This is what ex-senator Edmunds told a
Boston journal correspondent the other
day, and it is an expression which the Ver-
mont delegates to the st. Louis convention
ought to paste in their hats before ever
they leave home.
Mr.. Edmunds has been quoted as init
mating in letter to Col E. c. Smith of
St. Albans that he was by no means
pleased with the action of the Vermont
Republican convention in tying the dele
gates up to Mckinley, but he told the Jour
nal interviewer that his letter would not
bear that construction. He has his own
personal preference among the candidates,
but has not thrust it upon the public.
From all of which it is pretty safe to infer
that Mr.. Edmunds would like to see either
Reed or his old colleague Allison noml-
mated.

Rev. NJ. j. Savage preached his farewell

The first vote Mckinley ever cast was
for Lincoln in 1864, while he was serving
as Union soldier in Virginia; and it is
said that when he went to the ballot box he
was accompanied by Sheridan, Hayes and
Terry. 1t is needless to say that they all
four voted for Lincoln.

The Sugar Bounty.
The United States supreme Court Says
IL Must be Paid---SsI,2OO to Come TO

The United States supreme Court Says
IL Must be PaId---SsI, 200 to Come to
Vermont.
The United States supreme court rem
dered decision in the sugar bounty cases
Monday, holding that the bounty was an
equitable consideration, for which Con-
gress had authority to provide. This re-
verses the ruling of the comptroller of the
treasury, and requires the payment of the
| bounty provided for by the last Congress.
A brief history of the cases is of interest.
When the Democratic tariff law of Au-
gust, 1894, repealed the Mckinley law,
warrants were outstanding for about S234,-
600 for bOunties on the sugar crop of 1898.
When the sugar crop of that year, 1894,
was planted, the bounty provision of the
Mckinley law had not been repealed and
the Louisiana planters and other sugar
growers and producers in the United States
proceeded to take out licenses for that
year, complying with the regulations that
this should be done before July |. They
had no assured information that the boun-
ty would be repealed, and had a right to
assume that it would be paid on that
years product. Congress, at the end of
the last session of the fifty-third Congress,
in March, 1895, made appropriations to
pay these two classes of bounties, one for
about S23S, 2S9 on the crop of 1898, and
the other for s., 900, 900 on the crop of 1894.
Mr.. Bowler, the comptroller of the cur.
rency, held that the bounty was unconsti-
tutional and refused to pay over the boun-
ty money. Suit was brought in United
States circuit court for eastern Louisiana
to enforce payment. That court reversed
the comptroller's decision and the supreme
court of the United States Monday unan-
imously sustained the lower courts decis-
ion, holding that it was not a question as
to the constitutionality of the bounty, but
of the right of Congress to make the APP
preparation. 1t was also question of
equity and common fairness. the language
of the court being that 'the plaintiffs ac-
quired claims upon the government of an
equitable, moral and honorary nature"
The amount due to Vermont sugar
ers when this contest arose was SS1 200.

Huntington Delegates for sticLney.

The Burlington caucus, held Wednes-
day night to elect delegates to the state
convention was a surprise party, resulting
in the election of Stickney delegation in
a city supposed to be assured for Grout.
The vote stood 39S for the Stickney ticket
to 230 for Grout. The Free Press says the
result does not correctly represent the
views of the 1000 Republican voters in the
city, and that it was brought about by the
over-confdence of the Grout men and a
"still hunt by Stickneys supporters, who
did not let it be known till Wednesday af-
ternoon that they meant to make contest.
If this result shows to the supporters of
Maj. Grout in the other towns the danger
of undertaking their opponents, and leads
them to put in the proper amount of work
for the man of their choice, it may help
the Major more than it hurts him.

The Great Bell of Moscow.

The great bell whose booming thunder
announced the opening of the coronation
festivities of the czar, is the striking thing
within the Kremlin. 1t is in the cathe-
dral of the Assumption, where the corona
tion took place. 1t rests at the base of the
great Ivan tower, 925 feet in height, and
is called the liking of BELLS" 1t resem-
bles huge tent of bronze when it is ap-
preached. Its weight is 444, 900 pounds.
Within this bell, whose walls are two feet
thick, 40 people can assemble at one time.
In fact, its cavity has been used as a chap
ell. 1t was cast as long ago as 1870, and
the great gap in its side was made soon af-
ter the mass of metal cooled. This frac-
ture was due to flaw made, it is believed,
by the jewelry, coin and precious metal
thrown into the liquid by the ladies of the
city. The piece which fell out weighed II
tons, and this accident practically ruined
the work. Through the aperture thus left
a tall man may pass without STOPPING. In
the tower near it hang not less than 36
bells, two of which are silver. The largest
in the tower weighs 10000 pounds.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1896-05-29

The article elsewhere copied from the
editorial page of the New York World
states in clear and concise way, which
everyone can understand, the facts about
the silver agitation, what has been done
for silver, what the result has been, and
what the effect would be of giving the free
silver men their way. The article was
written to head off the free silver movement
in the Democratic national convention at
Chicago, and it is entirely wrong in saying
or implying that the depreciation of silver
was the sole cause of the panic of 1898,
and of the business depression which has
existed ever since; but aside from this the
facts are so well stated as to make it worth
while to reprint the article for the instruc-
tion of the public on one of the two great
issues which will be involved in this year S
campaign.

One of the best informed of the New
York correspondents says that positive as
surances have been given to leading New
York business men, first, that the ST..
Louis platform will declare unequivocally
for sound money, and, second, that Nc
Kinlev will stand upon the platform and
endorse it, These assurances have come
direct from Mr.. Hanna and Major McKin-
ley's other managers. AS an indication of
the kind of sound money platform in
tended, the bankers have been asked If the
money plank in the Maine platform would
suit. That plank declared practically for
the maintenance of the gold standard un-
til international bimetalsm could be estab-
lished, and would, undoubtedly, be accept
able to the business interests of the East.

Damage to Trees by Electric Wires.
[From the Scientific Americana

1NN~AAN'N
1t is a question whether the stringing of
electric lines in cities and villages will not
destroy large proportion of the trees.
Complaint is made in several cities that
where wires pass through the foliage, the
trees in nearly every instance have died,
presumably from the effects of the electric
current. 1t has been noticed also that the
death of the trees almost invariably follows
a season of rain, when the wet leaves are
good conductors of electricity and carry it
from the wires to the trees. In some cases
the death of the trees has been caused by
wires supposed to be thoroughly insulated,
the covering having been rubbed off the
wires by the friction of the branches when
moved by the wind. The evidence that
the trees have been killed by electricity is
furnished by the fact that in numberless
instances the trees through which the
wires pass died in an hour during a storm,
while those standing few feet from the
wires were uninjured. These results will
raise the question as to the liability of cleo
trio light companies for the damages caused
by the killing of shade trees.

c. A. Prouty of Newport, one of the
Vermont delegates-at-large to the ST. Louis
convention, well known as a Reed man in
his personal preference, is quoted as tell
ing a Boston Transcript representative,
who met him in Boston, that the Vermont
delegation stands bound in honor, by the
action of the state convention, to support
Mckinley to the end, unless there are de-
velopments in the national convention
which change the entire complexion of
things. Senator Proctor, who has been at
his home in Proctor for a few days, en-
dorses the views of Mr.. Prouty and says
that, while the Reed men of the delegation
will still adhere to their personal views,
they have no right to support any other
man than Mckinley, and as a matter of
honor they will stand by him to man.

other Disasters in st. Louis.
A cyclone, destructive of life and prop
erty, visited East st. Louis in June, 1882.
The principal destruction was along the
water front and in the railroad yards. Be
tween sixty and seventy lives were lost,
boats were blown from their moorings and
sunk with all on board; persons were
picked up on the levee and hurled to their
death; buildings were scattered to the four
winds The most destructive vsitations
that St. Louis has had to contend with
however, have been overflows from the
Mississippi river, which have occurred at
least half dozen times during the last
seventy or eighty years, submerging con-
siderable portions of the city near the river
front, and doing enormous damage to prop
erty generally by invading stores, ware
houses and dwellings, and washing away
bridges.
St. Louis has suffered from several pre-
vious confagrations of more or less serious
character, the worst being that of 1S49,
which practically destroyed the whole
town, the total value of property consumed
being 100000. A cholera epidemic
that broke out almost simultaneously and
ravaged the community for six months filled
the cup of bitterness of the stricken people
to overlooking, as many as 200 deaths oc-
curing daily at one time, and the total
mortality reaching in round numbers 4060

Waters of Jordan Caused His Death.

The death of Archduke Charles Louis of
Austria, which occurred few days ago,
was ascribed by his physicians to his drink
ing of the waters of the river Jordan, which
he did as a matter of religious devotion on
his recent pilgrimage to Palestine. The
water of the Jordan is by no means pure,
and in the case of the archduke it had a
tendency to bring on intestine weakness,
which could not be overcome.

The Serious Troubles That May Come
Upon People at This Time of Year.
'Oh. it's only cold.''
Such remark as this is often heard at
this time OF the year, when the weather is
chilly. The people who make such a re-
mark seem to forget that cold is really a
dangerous condition of the system, a weak
spot, a disease. A cold may lead to cough,
and then to pneumonia, or it may SOW the
seeds of consumption. For this reason it
is dangerous to neglect cold. IT is better
to stamp ii out at once. Fortunately there
is one means of doing this that is always
safe and reliable. What it is and what it
will do can be seen from the following:
y Mr.. M. o. Connor, 271 Scott ST., Brock
lyn, says: ''Some time ago l was stricken
down with congestion of the lungs, and.
though having the best medical attend
ance, did not improve. | had cough
that seemed to contract my chest to bali
its natural size. was in constant pain,
and had no rest day or night. At last l
was advised to try Duffy's pure malt whis-
key, and it effected a speedy cure. The
lung trouble and cough entirely disap-
peared, my appetite was regained, and
breathing became as natural as ever.
now feel like new man all over"
No ordinary whiskey could have pro-
duced these unusual results. As means
OF build ing up the system and restoring
the health, Duffy's pure malt has always
been unequaled. If it were kept in every
household, and used in all cases of emerg-
ency, vast amount of sickness and Suf-
fering could be entirely prevented.
