Cyclone at Allentown.


The storm that swept across Pennsylva-
MIA and portion of this state, on Thurs
day, was very severe in Allentown, Mon
mouth county.
About $50 o'clock two black clouds ap-
peared in the horizon, one in the north
and one in the south, and they came
together over the town. Trees were up
rooted and thrown against houses, crash
ing through them. Sheds were over
turned, roofs blown off, the inhabitants
frightened and driven to the cellars and
general havoc played all along the path
of the cyclone. As soon as it struck, the
country orchards and barns went down
before 1t like grain before sickle; wag-
ons were overturned and two persons
we're seriously, perhaps fatally, injured.
The chief loss in the town was to Clay
toms furniture store, which Is a complete
wreck. The roof was wrenched off and
carried two hundred yards, and the build
! ing. a frame one, was twisted off the
foundation and $1,000 worth of new fur
nture was destroyed. Chairs were car
ried by the wind and landed In the few
remaining trees on the street.
Church street was a sight. Trees were
blown every way. Oae landed on the
top of Rev. s. G. Pitts house. great
many chimneys were blown off on Main
street. The houses most damaged were
those of David Savidge and Samuel Gu
lick, trees breaking in the gable ends
The sheds of the Presbyterian and Epis-
copal Churches were entirely destroyed.
The public school was slightly dam
aged. The school was in session, and
teachers and children fed to the cellar.
The cyclone passed in an easterly d.
rection out the Shrewsbury road. George
Newell, of Allentown, was driving home
from New Sharon when the cyclone
struck him. hurled the wagon over against
the fence and broke Mr.. Newell's ribs
and injured him internally, beyond re-
covery, it is believed.
Harrison Dillon, colored, who was
working in barn overturned, was also
internally injured.
The barns reported wrecked were those
of Enoch Brown, Daniel Rice, Adam
Spence, William Spence and James Bar
calow. At the latter two places team of
horses and of mules was killed outright.
The large pear orchard of Daniel Gulick
was completely destroyed.
No particular damage was reported to
the west end of the town. 1t was Allen
towns first experience with western
cyclone.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an lnfiamed condition of the

When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy

A HUDSON county freebooter was asked
the other day by newspaper reporter
for information as to the meeting of a
committee of which the freeholder was
chairman. According to published re-
ports his reply, prefaced by an oath, was
to the effect that it was none of the news
papers business. Therein he made a
great mistake. 1t is most emphatically
the business Of the newspapers. and
through them the public, to know when
and where public bodies are to meet for
the transaction of public affairs. Men
who are elected or appointed as the peo-
pies servants should never forget that
their masters have right to keep the
closest scrutiny on all their actions.

Book Notes.

! The Forum for June contains dozen
articles of more than usual interest and
timeliness by as many distinguished writ
ers. The leading article is contributed
by Senator John HI. Mitchell, of Oregon,
who for many years has advocated the ell
ection of United States Senators by popu-
lar vote and who has lately introduced a
bill in the Senate to that effect In his
article he makes powerful and convinc-
ing argument in favor of the proposed
change IN the present system of choosing
Senator's which he considers unrepubli-
can, undemocratic, and vicious in all re-
spects-and he contends that if the Indiv
ual voter has any interest in being repre-
scented by United States Senator, he
should be permitted to vote for him direct
~ and not vlcariousLy. Bjornstierne Born
son, in an article even more brilliant than
his former one, concludes in this number
his review of Modern Norwegian Litera-
ure." These notable contributions, from
the most distinguished living Scandina-
Wan author, give US the clearest and most
comprehensive view of Modern Norwegian
lIiteratnre-its aims and inf1uence-that
has probably ever appeared. Prof VIM.
@. Sumner of Yale, in his usual brilliant
style, exposes 1.-The Fallacy of Territorial
Extension"-a very timely and valuable
article. A paper of great timeliness just
now, when so many thoughtful men are
asking themselves if Democracy Is a fail
ure. is an elaborate and thoughtful discus
sion of the question by Prof. F. w. Black
mar. of the University of Kansas
Although he finds much to complain of,
he comes to the conclusion that Democra-
cy in America, in the form of represen-
tative republic, is not a failure. The
Forum, as usual, contains not one only but
number of articles, written especially for
it by writers of worldwide distinction,
who are the highest living authorities IN
their particular fields of thought. At its
present price-25 cts copy-The Forum
is at once the best and cheapest review.

THERE has always been contention
that the ballot law could be made more
effective if the distribution of tickets was
confined entirely to the election officers.
This has always been opposed on different
pretexts. which have prevented the desired
change In the system. An example of the
Importance of having restriction on the
handling of ballots has been given in

test is now going on over one of the offices
The evidence shows that there were
nearly 100 imperfect Republican tickle in
one ward, and there Is evidence that the
printers delivered tickets to the Demo-
cratic committee contrary to orders. How
easy IL is under the present system to
change tickets so as to make them defect

outside of the booths, the same as penal
ty is now imposed for having official en-
velopes, would settle the whole business.

the campaign of 1860 will recall the fact
that previous to the Chicago Convention
the political Interrogators were after Lin
coin just as they are now after Mckinley
They insisted that he should define his
position on the fugitive slave law and tell
what he would do in the event of the Sc
cesslon of the south. Their pretended
anxiety about his views in those respects
was simply trick, of course. to draw ex-
pressions from him that could be used to
his disadvantage. But the device did not
work. He was politician of too much
sense and experience to be caught in such
trap. In answer to all inquiries os that
sort. he pointed to his reco I'd, and said he
must be judged by it as to his opinions
and purposes. He understood very well
that the persons who thus questioned him
were not honestly seeking information or
striving to serve the party or the country,
but only trying to prevent his nom nation
They called him straddler and accuse
him of cowardice and insncerity, but he
preserved an amiable silence, neverthe-
less, and left his case to the people. The
result proved that there had not been any
necessity for him to speak; and certainly
there was never any cause for regret that
he was nominated and elected.
The fact that Mckinley is now pursuing
the same course under similar circumstan-
ees only goes to show that he is like Lin
coin in the way of detecting the object Of
his interrogators and declining to assist
them in accomplishing it. He has been
conspicuous figure in public life for
many years, and there is no lack of test-
mony in his numerous speeches as to his
views upon all important issues The
people know all about him and are entire
ly willing to trust him. There is nothing
for him to say that would be likely to
make the country any surer that he lie a
man of ability, integrity and patriotism
and bis self-respecting refusal to crafty
his opponents by answering their imper-
stinent questions will confirm and increase
the popular feeling in his favor. He has
perfect right to "hold his BREATH" as it
is fiippantly called by Democratic organ,
and as matter of propriety, he can not
do otherwise. 1t would be decidedly in
bad taste for him to assume the function
of outlining platform for his party. That
is the business of the convention, and he
has nothing to do with it. There is moi
the least danger that he will fail to abide
in good faith by the action of that body
on all pending questions; and there is
just as little reason to doubt that the St
Louis platform will be perfectly satisfac
tory in every way TO the voters who are
going to elect the next President. THAI
is the appropriate and conclusive answer
to all inquiries that are obviously in
tended to serve dishonest and mis-
chievous purpose.-&. Louis Globe Lem

INQUIRIES have frequently been made
respecting the powers and duties of po-
lice officers, and the replies have been nu-
merous and varied. Policemen do not
receive appointment merely to walk the
streets and prevent disorder, arresting
those who offend against the laws only
when direct orders are given to take that
step, but they are to take notice of any
violation Of law and use their utmost en-
deavors to suppress lawlessness in all
shapes. Justice Lippincott, of the Supreme
Court. holds to this opinion, and if his
ruling is correctly reported, it is the duty
Of police officers to enter complaint against
any offender, and not wait for somebody
else to do it. Here is what Judge Lippin-
colt says: 1.-THE time has come when the
police authorities must be held to a rigid
accountability for neglect to enforce the
crimiRs.1 aws of this State. 1t is only
: WAS mat nod government can be main.
tanned, and that the lives. the peace, the
prosperity. reputation and comfort of our
citizens can be preserved. Every citizen
has the right to demand that he be pro-
tected by the enforcement eff the laws
made for the preservation of society,"
