is the condition of the treasury, but
he frankly vows that the purpose is
protection as we'll as revenue In our
opinion a special session at this time
is not only unnecessary, but likely TO
prove banefui by reviving the dreaded
tariff agitation and affording new op-
portunities for jingo mischief. thus de-
priving the country of that rest which
il so much needs after passing
through a succession of crises which
have greatly taxed it's vitality and
handicapped its prosperity AS for
protection. the country has had enough
of its abuses and burdens and the
people have repudiated it at the polls.
Not even the election of Mckinley
was a protection victory.
From this feature of Mr.. Mckinley s
inaugural address we turn with graf
ification and hope to his views as TO
the true foreign policy of the United
States. This part of his message is
a timely. earnest plea for peace. which
does infinite credit to the statesman
ship and patriotism of the president.
A FAVORABLE IMPRESSION.
The Sun Dem) says: There is the
framework of an administration which
can satisfy the country and restore
prosperity to its citizens. There are
some important omissions. some points
of vagueness, and some signs of what
we believe to be mistaken judgment
in the presidents parliamentary an
nouncement but the impression Gre
ated by the document we are sure will
be mainly favorable. Everybody will
find in the first official utterances of
President Mckinley the traits of. sim
plicity, apparent sincerity. and an un
affected modesty in his attitude
toward the other departments of the
governments and the people who have
elected him.
WORDS OF HOPE.
The Tribune (Rep0 says: The new
era speaks in President McKinley's
address words of bright hope for
American industry and strong encour-
agement for American honor. After
the last four years it is refreshing to
hear from the president of the United
States genuine and anxious desire for
the happiness of individual homes; for
increased employment and compensa-
ton of labor; for restoration of ma
tional prosperity: for public revenue
instead of public deficit; for faith
full maintenance of the entire paper
currency at par with gold everywhere.
and at all times; for protection of al
rights of American citizens through
out the world, and for manly, un-
hesitating defense of American honor.
1t is the inaugural address of an
American.
A GOLDBUG VIEW.
The Times Dem.) says: The coun-
try will observe with hearty satisfac-
ton that President Mckinley puts at
the very beginning of his message,
confirming the clear and positive
meaning of his words by the emphasis
of their position. the declaration that
the value of our money must not be
further threatened-it should all be
put upon an enduring basis. not sub
ject to easy attack nor it's stability to
doubt or dispute.
Mr.. Mckinley was elected for
that specific purpose"

SHORT, EARNEST. DIGNIFIED.
Tribune (Republican): 1t is a COM
paratively short but earnest and digni-
fed as we'll as business-like document.
The president recognizes the prevailing
business depression. and seeks for the
remedies, which he partly finds in a
revision of our financial system, in
the continuance of governmental su-
pervision of the currency and in reme-
dies for our various forms of paper
money without diminishing the circu-
lating medium-all this to be accom-
plished after adequate revenue has
been secured, so that it may no longer
be necessary to maintain so large a
gold reserve. The president recog-
nizes arbitration as "the true method
of settlement of international as well
as local or individual differences. and
gives his emphatic sanction to the
general. arbitration treaty between the
United States and Great Britain. urg-
ing the senate to ratify it mot merely

Kinley comes direct from the people.

A STORMS TERRIBLE FURY

and a Cloudburst.
SWEPT SAN JOSE AND VICINITY
Carried Death and Desolatlon
In Its Wake.
Or. A. c. Mcdowell, His Grandson ana
Five People Who Were Visiting the Ply
sician's Family Killed aud Mrs. Mellow
ell and Her Two Children Injured.

San Jose, ILL.,, July 81. Death and
desolation followed rapidly In the wake
of cyclone which swept across this
section of the country last night. Seven
persons were killed outright, and three
seriously injured.
Following are the names Of the killed:
DIR. A. G. Mcdowell, Mrs. Samuel
Brownlee, three children pamed Brown,
lee, a grandson of Mcdowell and ISIS
Jessie Groves. The following were
seriously injured: Mrs. A. o. Nc
Dowell, Charles Mcdowell and Miss
Mary Mcdowell.
The day had been one OF great op.
pressiveness The heat had been almost
UNDESIRABLE. and only those whose occu-
patton brought them out on the street
were to be seen. In the evening tho
clouds began to pile up 10 black,
ominous banks, and the air became
more oppressive. The clouds were sc-
companied by vivid flashes OF lightning,
which seemed to rend the heavens. and
loud crashings of reverberating thunder.
In many instances occupants Of houses
took refuge in their cellars. just before
O'Clock funnel-shaped cloud sepa-
rated itself from the others, and came
rushing with frightful velocity towards
the town. The house and barn on tina
farm OF DR.. G. A. Mcdowell lay
directly in it's path. The Mcdowell
homestead was torn into fragmsnts.
The barn met the same fate. and, with
it's contents, was swept out Of sight.
Inside the house. the family of Dr..
Mcdowell, consisting of five members,
had taken refuge. together with Mrs.
Samuel Brownlee and her three chill
dren and Miss Jessie Groves, the
daughter of neighbor, who had como
to the Mcdowell house to spend the
evening. When the cyclone struck the
house everything it contained was
nwept beneath the ruins. Following
| the cyclone came a deluge of water
resembling cloudburst. ,8
Neighbors who had Witnessed the
destruction Of the Mcdowell homestead
hurriedly summoned assistance. Those
who were alive beneath the ruins were
| taken out as soon as possible and car
ried to neighhoring farmhouaes, where
their injuries were given medical atten-
tion. These were Mrs. a. Q. Mcdowell,
her son Charles and her daughter
Mary. 1t is thought that they cannot
survive their injuries. The dead re-
ceived attention next. Their bodies
wera fearfully torn and mangled by the
force with which they had been tossed
about in the ruins Of the house. The
cyclone also struck the farm of John
Mcdowell, but did no damage there be-
yond destroying his barn and fine wal
nut grove.

The Compensation ofthe Collector Of this
Port of Wilmington Matefialiy Reduced.
While the attaches OF aome OF the
customs officers IN the country have re-
Gently had their salaries Increased, the
local Office has not been affected. The
inrreass 10 other places was merely the
restoration of a previous schedule,
reduction having BEEN made. But as
there was no reduction in the local
office, there has been no increase. !.
II is said, however, that the pay OF
soma Of the attaches Of the local office
is small, when their work and RESPONSE

Therefore, an increase would not be I'M
welcome. at.M
Collector of the Port Cooper does not
get the remuneration received by some

that some Of the psrquisites have been

uncommon thing for his pay to run
well up to the limit Id those days all
boats lying at bewes for 9s hours were
required TO pay entrance and clearance
fees, and in addition CT cents for in
apection. Now the government re-
quires the work to BIO performed with
out compensation to the collector, which
cuts that officials salary down to be-
tween 81, 600 and 81. 100. In fact, in
one year the Compensation AMOUNTED TO
only Sl,305. w.
In addition to his duties as collector

duties he il compelled TO give bond
