THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
10000 Perlshed in the Tidal Wa,

10000 Perlshed I'm the Tidal Wave.
The tidal wave which swept 200 miles
of the northeast coast of Japan on the
night of June 10 wrought one of the great
est disasters of modern times. In five
minutes 10000 people were killed, 1900
injured, and II, ZOO homes were destroyed.
About I o'clock three or four shocks of
earthquake were felt. not violent, though
of the vertical kind that people in Japan
dread. Some 20 or 25 minutes later a
booming sound became audible from the
direction of the sea. Only few suspect
ed its real significance and fled inland.
Rapidly the noise increased until it as
sumed the volume and deafening din of a
great park of artillery and then in a mo-
ment waves from 20 to 80 feet high were
laundering against the shore. OF the
three procedures visited by the wave Iwate
had by far the largest aggregate of disas-
tiers, its list of dead amounting TO 10000.
AT Kamaishi, a little seaside town, three
avalanches of water rushed forward, and
in less than two minutes the town was
virtually annihilated. Out of 1928 dwell
ings, only 143 remained standing, and out
of population of 6557 death had over
taken 400 and 500 lay wounded. In COM
pleteness of destruction this record heads
the list. The work of the waves was,
however, nearly as appalling at several
other points. A submarine earthquake
was undoubtedly the cause.

That Fine Rhetorical Figure was a
Chestnut.

The phrase which won the nomination
for the "Boy orator of the Platte" at Chi
cago slipped off his tongue easily, and with
good reason. Hon. j. Sterling Morton,
the secretary of agriculture, is the New
York Herald's authority for showing that
it was used a week before the convention
in debate with John p. Irish 1t is,
however, much older than this. The boy
orator used it in the House of Representa-
tives Dec. %, 1894, when a bill was under
consideration to amend the laws relating to
national banking associations and to eX-
empt the notes of state banks from taxa
ton under certain conditions.
Notwithstanding all these influences in
favor of bimetallism,n he cried, .-. &c
citing some of his stock arguments, 1.-THE
money centres present this insolent de-
mand for further legislation in favor of an
universal gold standard. | for one will not
yield to the demand l will not help to
cruelty mankind upon cross of gold. |
will not aid them to press down upon the
bleeding brow of labor the crown OF
thorns.' At Chicago he said: Having
behind us the commercial interests, and
the laboring interests, and all the toiling
masses, we shall answer their demands for
a gold standard by saying to them, you
shall not press down upon the brow OF
labor this crown of thorns. You shall not
cruelty mankind upon cross of gold" =

Country to Rally i'm Defence Of Its FL
nnncinI Integrity.
Major Mckinley made his first speech
after the nomination of Bryan by the Dem.
ocratic convention at Canton Saturday
night, when he addressed a delegation OF
the Foraker club of Cleveland as follows
"Recent events have imposed upon the
patriotic people of this country RESPONSE
bility and a duty quite as great as any
since the civil war. Then it was strug-
gle to preserve the government of the
United States. Now it is a struggle to
preserve the financial honor of the United
States. Then it was contest to save the
Union. Now it is a contest to save the
spotless credit of that Union. Then sec
ton was arrayed against section. Now
men of all sections can unite, and will
unite, to rebuke the population of obliga-
tions and the debasement of our currency.
"In this contest patriotism is above par
ty, and national honor more than any par
ty name. The currency and the credit of
the country are good now and must be
kept good forever. Our trouble is not
with the character of the money we have,
but it is with the threat to debase it. We
have the same currency that we had in
1892, good the world over and unques-
toned by any people. Then, too, we had
unexampled credit and prosperity.
"Our difficulty now is to set that money
in circulation and invest it in productive
enterprises, which furnish employment to
American labor. This is impossible with
the distrust that hangs over the country at
the present time, and every effort to make
our dollars, or any one of them, worth less
than one hundred cents each only serves
to increase that distrust. What we want
is sound policy, financial and industrial,
which will give courage and confidence to
all, for when that is done the money now
unemployed, because of fear for the future
and lack of confidence in investment, will
appear in the channels of trade.
Gentlemen, the employment of our
idle money-the idle money we already
have-in gainful pursuits will put every
idle man in the country at work, and when
there is work there is wages, and when
there is work wage earners are consumers,
who constitute the best market for the
products of our soil.
"Having destroyed business and conf
dence by free trade policy, it is now pro
posed to make things still worse by enter
ing upon an era of deprecated currency.
Not content with the Inauguration of a
ruinous policy, which has brought down
the wages of the laborers and the prices of
farm products, its advocates now offer a
new policy, which will diminish the value
of money in which wages and products are
paid. Against both of these we stand op-
posed. Our creed embraces an honest dol
lar, an untarnished national credit, advo-
Gates revenues for the uses of government
protection to labor, preservation of the
home market and a reciprocity which will
extend TO our foreign markets.
Upon this platform we stand and sub
nit its declarations to the sober and con-
siderate judgment of the American PEG.

THE VERMONT NEWS.


Mrs. Lewis Merritt and Joseph McGraw,
an clipping couple from Hartland, were ar
rested Thursday night at Jay Bridge,
Maine. Deputy Sheriff D. G. Jones of
South Royalton showed the woman des-
patch from her husband refusing to take
her back and she wept bitterly. Lewis
Merritt, the husband is said to be one of
the wealthest citizens of Hartland, where
he owns three large dairy farms. Mrs,
Merritt says that her husband never abused
her, but that she was obliged to do the work
for a family of several hired men, and
often went into the bayfield, to manage
horse rake. Mrs. Merritt thought this treat
ment was not what such as she ought to eX-
pect, considering her husbands financial
condition. McGraw is squarely built illit-
crate Frenchman from Lower Canada.
For a month he talked with Mrs. Merritt
about her husbands treatment of her, and
she finally agreed to accompany him to the
home of his parents in Maine. The repre-
sensations made to Mrs. Merritt by Nc
Graw were false in many particulars. Mrs.
Merritt is a handsome young woman and
has been a leader in church and social cir
cles at Hartland

Waved Old Glory in the Throne Room.

Not content with being the first armed
foreigners on English soil in many CEN
turtles the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
of Boston have carried sold Glory" into
the throne room at Windsor and waved
the splendid banner over the head of the
commander-in-chiefc CT the British army.
When the Ancient and Honorables en-
tered the castle they were welcomed until
the color sergeant appeared in the doorway,
when two guards crossed their swords be-
fore him and said that no foreign colors
could enter there. SIS that SOP" asked the
color sergeant. "Then none of our men
can enter. Where we 60 there the colors
60" The guards were immovable and the
Bostonians halted. The color sergeant
said: Gan our men must come out if these
colors cannot go in" He at once sent
word to his men in the advance, who then
were far along in the interior.
What happened to relieve the situation
can only be guessed at. An order was sent
to the sentries at the door to violate all
precedent and admit to Englands Holy OF
Holes the first non-English flag that was
ever seen in front of the throne of the
monarchs of England. The sentries lifted
their swords; the colors went in by the
hands of the plucky Bostonian.

over 80 Killed in a Railroad Wreck.

An appalling accident occurred Saturday
evening at Logan, Ia, 80 miles east of
Omaha, on the line of the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad, in which 81 per-
sons, living in Omaha, Council Bluffs,
Missouri Valley and intervening points
were killed and 40 injured. Many of the
injured WILL in all probability, die. The
train consisted of u coaches containing
excursionists who had attended field day
at Logan. 1t had just started on the re-
turn trip and as it rounded a curve it
crashed into freight train. Both en-
gines and the first passenger coach were
demolished. Ehe shrieks of the wounded
and dying rose above the crash of heavy
machinery and screeching of escaping
steam from the wrecked locomotives. The
engineers and firemen of both engines
jumped and both crews escaped without
injury. The conductor of the freight
train says he was running on orders, and
that the excursion was not. The engineer
and fireman of the excursion train disap-
peared soon after the wreck, and this lends
color to the story told by the freight con-
ductor. A special train was made up and
a number of surgeons were sent to the
scene of the wreck. The accident used
great excitement at Omaha and GRO |ds
collected to await the arrival of the trains
bringing the dead and wounded.

Murderer WAY on Trial.

The case of the state against Marshall
Way, the Wheelock wife murderer, opened
in the county court at st. Johnsbury Mon
day before Chief Judge Ross. Way plead
ed not guilty. His attorney filed a plea in
abatement on the ground that stenogra-
pher was present and received all testimo-
ny before the grand jury last month The
court overruled the plea and ordered the
case to begin. Way attempted to address
the court in dramatic manner, causing a
mild sensation, but was stopped by the
sheriff and his attorneys. The defence
will attempt to prove insanity, while the
state expects to prove wilful and premedi-
atted murder.
