A GIRLS STORY.
She Tells of the Recent Cyclone in
Oklahoma.

The following letter will give Rec
ord Union readers some idea of what
pranks cyclone or tornado plays. 1t
is written by a young girl, Miss Grace
Babb, of Homestead, Oklahoma, to her
aunt, Mrs. Lizzie Hubbard, of Kansas,
who is now visiting in this city with
her brother, DR.. F. M. Shields. Not in
tended for publication, of course, it
gives in rude details some sketches of
tornado work that brings one nearer to
the true horror of the thing. The writer
says:
I'VE had big cyclone here on Fri
day night, the 10th, about s O'Clock. 1t
was mile wide and twenty miles long,
that we know Of We have not heard
any more than of twenty miles of its
work. 1t may be longer-we do not
know as yet.
eve were the most motley outfit you
ever saw-just literally drenched with
mud and water Almost everything we
had is gone The house is unroofed,
the stable gone, windows gone, out
buildings all gone. Even the pasture
fence is torn up, and great big trees
are torn to pieces and twisted down.
''In some places the earth is actually
SCOODGu Oul III great llOlcS VI DetSliS.
Our farm wagon and buggy were car
ried off and smashed up, so that there
is not piece that can be repaired. We
had about one hundred yards of mus
lin overhead for ceiling, and the floors
were carpeted. The muslin was torn
to pieces, and the carpets taken up and
whipped to pieces. Our clothing was
blown off the nails, and we had a large
box that was sitting out of doors, but
not a thread of it can be found.
I'VE have not got change of cloth
ing left, and have only one sheet left
for the beds, and two pieces of quilt
and one bed comforter. Our bedding
is torn up, wet and muddy. Some of
cur neighborS have not even the side
walls of their houses left to camp in,
and some of them We're badly hurt by
flying debris
You never saw a more distressed
looking neighborhood, but, then, every
one seems to be thankful that they are
alive after it all. We do not know
what way to look or what to do. The
week before two little boys of our
neighbors were struck and killed by

SCURVY POLITICS.

1t was anticipated that any protests
entered by independent manhood
against the attempt to bulldoze commu-
mites in the interest of Barham and
Hfborn would raise a chorus Of howls
from those who are aiding the preten-
sicns Of these men to be returned 10
Congress. The Record Union" has not
denied the abstract right of the two
Congressman to be candidates for nom
ination, but it has said and does insist
that the same right inhering in. other
citizens who desire to exercise it and
present themselves as candidates,
should not occasion such indecent as
sault upon them as has been made in
the interest of Barham and of Hilborn,
namely, that these aspiring citizens,
because they dare oppose the ambition
os the two Congressman shall be stig-
matized as Corporation hirelings" and
"servitors,' since the one and only
claim for preferment of Hilborn and
Barham is that they fought the rail-
road"
The Petalurna Argus" is the latest
to echo Hilborn and Barham that they
were the friends Of the people" be-
cause they fought the railroad" there
fore whoever dares to aspire honorably
and frankly for nominations upon
which Hilborn and .Barham evidently
think they have mortgages. must be
slaves of the railroads. There is no
other Interpretation to be given to the
long article when 1t declares:
We will ascertain this fall whether
the people or the railroad are to select
Congressman. and whether they are to
serve the people or the railroad. If the
Republican party wishes to disgrace
itself it can do so effectually and en-
phatically by retiring Rarham and CIV
ing the nomination TO a railroad tool
or allow the railroad to put up one Of
its enemies whom it can defeat by fine
work.
Which verifies the earlier statement
that Barham and Hilborn propose to
bulldoze their way to nomination by de-
ncuncing through their chosen agencies
pose them, as a railroad hireling."
That is to say, all virtue resides in the
ircumbents, and it is summed up sim
ply thus: I'VE opposed the funding bill,
we fought the railroad" The conclu-
sion is in the estimate of these men
that whoever dares to contend with us
for return to Congress is a tool and a
servitor of the octopus
That is the long and the short of the
whole matter The people will not give
their approval to such a coercive means
of political advancement. They will
not be parties to such scurvy politics
The people love fair play, manly con-
duct and raightforwardness, and de-
spise and abhor such tactics as the Bar
ham and Hilborn following have
adopted in the vain hope to frighten
all possible opposing candidates from
the field.

It was related in the dispatches yes
terday that the women who have been
made widows in Cuba by Spanish SOL
Giers, those whose sons have fallen be-
fore Spanish bullets and those whose
lovers have been cut to death by Span
ish cavalry, took to arms under Maceo,
and made up a large and formidable
body of Amazons. When Maceo made
his recent attack upon the trocha four
companies of these women were en-
gagged, and they fought like demons.
EXhausting their ammunition, they
seized the machette and rushed IN
charge upon the Spanish with 1rreslstl-
BILE fury They cut and slashed right
and left, as no other soldiers ever had,
and the fight became absolute slaughter
until Maceo had to order it stopped, as
the enemy was beaten and helpless. But
the women refused to be called down,
and proceeded to butcher the wounded,
and finally the commander had to
threaten to shoot down the infurlated
beings, before he could control them
and put an end to the horror. This is
characteristic Of women everywhere,
no matter what nativity. AT once the
most gentle, refining, merciful and gra-
cious of Gods creation, once aroused
and carried away by her emotions, her
hates and the memory of her wrongs
and the opportunity for revenge, she is
the most cruel, merciless, and unforglv-
ing and ruthless of human beings. His
tory all along the line proves this to be
true, and it Is fact that enters very
deeply into the question of woman suf-
frage and argues against placing wo-
men in an attitude where the cond1-
tlons would appeal to characteristics
that are not ennobling, merciful or
gentle

There is not sufficient warrant for
believing the story that Secretary
Olney has advised Spain to send more
troops and crush the rebellion in Cuba,
and that If Spain abandons the Island
the United States will undertake the
pacification of Cuba. In the first place
the probability is that if Secretary
Olney has written to Spain at all about
sending troops to Cuba, it is in the way
of intimation that unless the rebellion
is suppressed speedily, the United
States may feel obliged to recognize the
belligerency of the Cubans. Secondly,
that If he has said anything at all
about pacifcation, it was with refer
ence to rendering the good offices of the
United States to bring about peace. 1t
is wholly improbable that he has said
that the United States Government
will undertake the pacification of Cuba,
for if Spain abandons the island paci-
fication will ensue as matter of
course There would, in that event,
be nothing to settle. Besides there is
nothing in the act or attitude Of Spain
suggesting any intention to abandon
Cuba. So, then, there is nothing to
give the Secretary warrant for assum-
ing that to be probable or possible. The
story does not hang together well.

The President has sent an ultimatum
to Spain concerning the prisoners taken
from the schooner Competitor. 1t
amounts to this, that these men must
not be executed, that they must be
freed or tried anew, and afforded every
opportunity for defense; that the
United States Government regards the
conviction of the men as an outrage,
and cannot think Of their being exc
cuted. It Is said in Madrid dispatches
he ordered for the men before the
proper tribunals, and that eventually
they will be discharged. This is the
tenor Of the dispatch regarding the
matter We can rest assured that the
President has not said to Spain that
citizens of the United States can in
wade Spanish territory to make war on
the Government, and not take the law
full consequences. It would be simply
impossible for us to take any such
stand as that. The President has not
therefore said that the men should not
be punished if properly found guilty.
The story came yesterday with much
circumstantial detail that the English
| and the Egyptians have achieved a de-
cisive victory over the Dervishes at
Fierket. It is said that 1000 Dervishes
were slain, their commander killed and
| the whole body of one of their armies
| of the advance put to flight. If this
| be true, and there seems no reason to
doubt it, though we should remember
| that the Dervishes have no news
papers, telegraphic wires or war re-
porters, then it is most fortunate for
| the invaders Of the Soudan. The Der
wishes are superstitious, and a serious
reverse at the outset Of the campaign
will do much to dispirit them. How
ever, they are fatalists also, and the
Kahlifa may be able to soon convince
them that nothing has happened that
was not bound to take place. But
nevertheless they will fight hereafter
with less boldness, in memory of the
terrible flight to which we are assured
they were put at Fierket
