Saltwater, Mimi, July 31.-An cleo
tric storm Of great severity prevailed
IN this city and considerable damage
was done. For the first hour there
was a perfect deluge Of rain, accom-
panied by almost continuous lightning
and ~deafening peals of thunder. The
OBrien mill at Marine, Mimi, was
struck by lightning and destroyed by
hre, and William D~reshsler's barn at
Houlton, Wis. was destroyed In q
similar manner, two cows perishing In
the flames. A barn on Dickinson
Bros farm at Lakeland, Mimi, was
burned, and a horse was suffocated by
smoke. Martin Whalen's barn, on
what is known as the old Matthew
farm, north of this city, was burned to
he ground. Lightning entered the
residence of DR.. Pratt, on the North
hill. by the telephone wire, and, burn
ing out the instrument, passed out by
the water pipe. The family were bad
ly frightened, and the servant. who
was in the kitchen at the time. was
slightly shocked by the electricity.

Mr.. Editor: We are approaching a
great crisis in the tariff question, as in
dicated by the growing demand for dis
eliminating duties on imports and on
tonnage. and by the bill of Senator 81
kins. While | have always been will
ing to accept any step toward the res
toration OF our merchant marine to its
position in the old days. I
have long believed that the
modus operandi employed by the foun-
ders of the present Union, and repre-
senting the best experience OF the ma
ton, is the only sufficient modus by
which to restore our lost prestige on
the ocean-to ~recuperate our shipping,
navigation and commercial interests On
the blue sea. But 1t will bring back
and intensity the old contest which
was at the foundation of our revolu-
tionary struggle.
When Colonel Henry Laurens left
England in the year 1774 he had pre-
viously waited on the Earl of Hills
borough, In order to converse with him
on American affairs. In the course OF
conversation Colonel Laurens said the
duty of three pence a pound on tea and
all the taxes were not worth the ex-
pense of a war. You mistake the
cause Of the controversy" said his
lordship. You spread too much can
vas upon the cean. Do you think we
will let you go on with you navlga-
ton and your 40, 900 seamen?" The at
tempt to revive our prominence In the
carrying trade of the world will revive
that old issue with England. for she
has a very abiding faith in the truth
of the ancient adage, "He who is mas
ter of the sea will soon be master OF
the land"
Before England will yield her abso-
lutte dominion OF the waves and sue
cumb to our mastery of the ocean. she
will exhaust every source OF resistance.
and she comprehends, with the highest
degree of intelligence, that the most
effectual way to Illustrate aggression
and encroachment Is TO repel them at
the very threshold of their advance.
Our presidential campaign in 1900 will
therefore be permeated with her an
tagonisms. Remember 1t Is only a few
years since a president Of the United
States dismissed Lord Sackville-Wes
the British minister at Washington, for
attempting to instruct American citi-
gems how to vote for Britain's benefit.
That audacious intrusion into our ma
tional politics emblemizes British poll
icy. David II. Mason.
