THE increased number of cyclones
that sweepthe western prairies carrying
terror, death and ruin with them, is q
question that is to considerable ex-
tent and in serious way agitating the
men of science. The number this year
is apparently greater than ever and the
destruction is increased in an. equal
degree. The terrible catastrophe at St.
Louis is without parallel. The power
manifest in such tornado appears to
be utterly without limit. A whirling
and convergiug of the elements that
will tear the middle out of a great stone
block is as marvellous as it is terrible.
Rev. Hicks and his school Of believers
will probably find cause for these phe-
nOmena in the stars. Other scientific
men will look closer to this earths crust.
1t has been suggested by men Of such
name as to give the matter weight that
the increased use Of electricity in the
various appliances Of modern mechan-
les with the currents running through
the earth as the ground wire, and its
continued escape has so affected the
distribution of electricity and disar
ranged the currents as to cause them to
gather at times in these terrible cleo
trical explosions. Should this hypoth-
esis chance to prove true the Eext CEN
fury will have to muzzlt its electricians
or be content to allow this old sphere
to sail off in a whirlwind.

Can it beadone? Yes, it can be done.
1t has always been the scheme of pol
iticians to keep the minds Of the peo-

masses wake up to the necessity of con-
centrating their forces at the polls and
cast their ballot for the one that has
openly declared himself on the issue of

espOuse, and not till then NAV we look

Three things have been the cause of

honest scheming to defeat and disfran-
chise our fellow men. Two things nee

THERE is really considerable talk
which Washington dispatches an
nounce as coming from high authOri-
ties to the effect that there will be
very strong forces in the Chicago con
Yention working for the nomination of
Senator Teller of Colorado. Senator
Teller is a man against whom one can
say naught and if the Independent free
silver sentiment should wax strong
enough in that convention to nominate
for the head of the ticket a man who
has for thirty or forty years operated
with the opposition party, simply be-
cause he is independent and cnam-
pion of the issue which is uppermost,
and thus cause breaking into old
party forces and total Encouragement
of party lines on the issue on which
populists have expended most of their
energy, it will swamp our party. 1t
may be true that their platform will
contain only moiety of the reforms
the country needs, but there will be
no escaping tue fact that as they will
have appropriated the issue from
which we have drawn most Of our in
spiratiOn, in an organization which
may well be called reform party, it
VIII leave our bark stranded high on
the barren rocks of political dismem-
berment. If the democrats nominate
"a pure, strong silver man it may well
be questioned whether this will not be
the result anyway. 1t may seem al
most like political treason TO the old
fashioned populisC who has labOred
long in the vinyard of the trinity OF
reform, to talk this way, but it is a
very stern and stubborn condition and
not a pliable theory that confronts US.
1t is we'll to think on these conting-
cies before they become realities.
