Gov. Evans BlurtS II Out.

Gov. Evans of South Carolina, Till
mans right bower, Bryan's ardent
champion, talks right out loud what
some of the other Bryanites are only
whispering. He declares, what the
Popocratic platform insinuates, and
Altgeld intimates, that the supreme
court is the greatest menace to the
country there is. All understand why
they say so or feel so if they don't ex-
press themselves so openly and de-
family as did Governor Evans. They
perceive the supreme court standing
across their path. 1t is a certain
damper on their revolutionary pro-
order they would either overthrow or
pervert to their own purposes. Com
pare this talk of Gov. Evans, who is
in the same boat as Bryan, and the
spirit of whose utterance is Identical
with the spirit that dictated the do
ings of the Chicago convention, with
what Bryan said at Detroit last week:
"Show me a man who is alarmed for
fear the supreme court is being at
tackled and will show you man
who belongs to that class of citizens
who have property assessed for taxa
ton in a less proportion to it's value
than the poor man who has to pay his
taxes on his home.
Which one gave expression to his
real thoughts, Gov. Evans or Bryan
The former is blunt, outspoken but in
discreet; the latter is trying to be all
things to all men, to juggle words so
that the dazzled spectator may not see
the purpose behind them. While en-
deavorng to lull suspicion he con-
trives in his artful way to throw in a
word or two which shall excite pre-

WHEELING, w. Va, July 7-Another
waterspout in the interior of Ohio and
Marshall counties caused great loss to
property and a suspension Of railroad
traffic out of Wheeling on two railroads
Sunday night the rainfall In the interior
was very heavy, and about 2 o'clock yes
terday morning there was so much rain
that it approached a cloudburst in vol
ume. The various creeks, including Big
and Little Wheeling creeks, Little Grave
creek, Jim's run, on the West Virginia
side of the river, and Wheeling creek and
other tributaries on the Ohio side, sent
out an immense amount of water. The
water was speedily out of banks, Farm
houses were washed from foundations,
stock drowned, growing crops destroyed,
and there were many narrow escapes from
death in the raging waters.
Wheeling creek put out into the Ohio so
furiously that up bound towboats were
unable to stem the tide and had to tie up
below the city. The Baltimore and NNio
depot extends over the mouth of the creek,
and was soon seen to be in danger, as the
water was carrying away the foundations
of the pier at the north side All cars and
property of value were taken away and
the people warned of the danger. At II 80
a. IN. the east span went down. and car
ried with it the railroad bridge to the
west. Further up the creek the trestle
work of the Wheeling Terminal road was
carried away, and j. H Rosenberg, an
aged contractor, was carried down with
the wreck. He was rescued by spectators
