FOOLISH JrNGo INVENTIONS.


Why should a section Of the English
press wish to make trouble between the
United States and Spain. 1t is. TO be
sure. an inconsiderable section, numert-
caIly and otherwise, but its essential un-
Importance may not prevent its remarks
from being telegraphed to Madrid, any
more than 1t prevents them from being
eabled to a portion of the American
press. And the tendency Of such re-
marks is to make mischief in Madrid,
If not in New York. where their true
value is better understood.
Congress. observes me Of these Lon
don sheets, voted with the intention Of
being offensive to Spain, and adds:
This, presumably, is the new American
diplomacy. and we must candidly con
fess that we do not admire it." No
doubt there are congressman who meant
to be offensive to Spain, like Senate
Mills. OF Texas, with his blasphemous
eccentricities Of speech, and Mr.. Quigg.
the New York representative, who fiaunt-
ed the American flag in the face Of the
spaniard. But what have they, or what
has congress to do with American diplo-
macy?
It is not American diplomacy, but
American politics, which these gentle
men in Washington have in mind. OF
diplomacy, or its usages and courtesies,
they know nothing. OF politics they
know something, perhaps-that cheap
kind of politics which fiourlshes in con-
gressionaI districts and has to do with
election to the house or senate. That
is what is at the bottom Of all this Gu
ban swagger. 1t is ridiculous to connect
It with diplomacy.

r.,.n.,,, and pl...treu. storm..

Severe storms prevailed throughout
Wisconsin. Illinois, Iowa, Kansas.
South Dakota and Michigan, with
heavy rain and in several sections with
cyclonic manifestations. At the Union
stock yards, Chicago, the storm played
havoc. Easements and first floors were
flooded and the big packing house
firms were heavy losers. Hundreds of
windows were blown in, and the rain
spoiled tons of beef which had been
prepared for canning. At Virgil, S. d.,
cyclone leveled a number OF houses.
Four persons were drowned and con-
siderable damage to property done at
Leavenworth, Kas At Barabas, Wis,
heavy washouts occurred and train
service is demoralized. A special from
st. Paul, Neb., estimates the loss re-
sulting from severe floods at 500, 900

number of horses, cattle and hogs were
drowned. Many farmers lost all their
buildings A report from o Neill, Neb.
saws that the town of Lynch, Boyd
county, was wiped out by tornado.
A Luverne, Mimi, special says: John
Kittleson, while fording the river, was
washed from his horse and drowned.
Several farm houses were demolished
and hundreds of cattle, sheep and hogs
persisted. A terrific hail storm de-
stroyed thousands of acres of growing
corn in southern Kansas with hail
stones, cutting stalks off like moving
machine. The storm was so severe
that the roadsides are strewn with
dead birds. The storm was apparently
general all over southern Kansas and
extended over part of Oklahoma.
Various parts of Illinois and Michigan
suffered, but less severely.
