How This Ondcrf and DeStruc-

To get an idea of a cyclones forma-

more and more violent rapidity toward

cyclone turned upside down, for the air
rushes upward instead Of downward.
In the cradle Of cyclones during tie
summer months, when the land and the

for a time held down by dcnser air

M'KTNLEY'S ADMINISTRATIONS.

There can hardly be a doubt that the
next house and senate will be ~republi-
can by an easy working majority. This
ought to be particularly gratifying to
President Mckinley. whose %personali-
ty has entered to a great extent into
the campaign and the events that pre-
coded it. There vas no great effort
exerted by the republicans of the Il
try to capture the present congress. for
they would have succeeded just as well
at the next election had the democrats
Of republican politics in off years is to
let the democrats have the congress.
for they can be depended upon to blum
der, and out of these blunders grow
great republican majOrities. This
year. however, the people of the coun-
try were determined to indorse the ad-
ministration of a man in whom they
repose confidence.
What must be the feelings of the
democratic party? Left without issue
and without hope, they hover like vul-
lures over the camps and battlefields
during and after the war in search of
an issue that they might delve into with
their beaks. No party can triumph
that relies upon death and sickness for
an issue. The losses to the democrats
in all parts of the country is the most
singing rebuke that could be offered
by a loyal people against the methods
they resorted to.
But after the strife has passed and
there is an opportunity to calmly re-
view the situation. there is one man
who stands cut greater and grander
than he ever did before in the minds
Of the American people, and that man
is the statesman. Christian. gentleman
and American-President William Nc
Kinley.
There was a time when he was
known as William Mckinley. the SOL
dier and defender of the union, then

Kinley the congressman and the poll

tian gentleman in whom the people Of
a great nation repose faith.
When the guns from Dewey's ships
belched for the their brazen notes on
that bright May morning in Manila
bay, a new era was born for this coun-
try. And on that morning the veil OF
distrust the maligners Of Mr.. McKin-
ley had placed between him and the
people was torn away and Mckinley.
the politician. as the people had been
led to believe, became what he really
is and always has been-McKinley the

BACKBONE OF OUR NATION.


The Brain Power of Our Country
Comes From the Farms.
1T is from the farm and the country
districts that the great brain power of
the country has come, is coming today
and must come in the future" writes
Edward Box in The Ladies' Home Jour.
nal. "Instcad of deprccating country
life and saying that to live in the COun
try means to live ont of the world, in
telligent people know that the free, I'M
trammeled life of the country unques-
tionably gives broader views. The hu.
man mind always grows to suit its out
ward surroundings. Originality and a de.
velopment for great things have naught
to check its growth where one can look
with earnest eyes from nature up to ma
lures God. To speak of the ignorance
of the rural regions is to stamp oneself
as al ignOramus, not the country peo-
Pile. There is q soundness of core and
an intelligence in the back country Of
this nation of ours that people who live
in cities and think themselves wise
never suspect. We can talk all we like
of social revolutions and kindred evils
that are supposed to threaten this ma.
ton. When they do threaten our insti
tutions, the danger signal will not come
from the back country. Such thoughts
are born and fed amid the foul atmos
phere of the cities. In the clear coun-
try air of the farm nothing threatens
this country, and when anything in the
shape of a socialistic, anafchistic revo-
luton does menace this land the true

WON'T ALL SERVE.
Men President Has Named to Investigate
War Departments.

Washington. September 11.-At the
White house no statement was made to-
night as to the status of the commission
to inquire into the administration of
army bureaus, although it was understood
that most of the gentlemen invited by the
President to serve on the commission had
been heard from. Some of them, how
ever, had written that they had the mat
ter under consideration an it was
thought tn be desirable to await final
conclusions by all of those asked to serve
before making any announcement 1t
appears to be accepted among high offie-
ials that Gen. Gordon, Mr.. Lamont and
MIR. Lincoln are not likely to accept.
The two ex secretaries of war are very
busy men of affairs and it is thought to
be hardly possible that they can spare
the time for ths.work Of the commission.
1t was reported tonight that Mr.. La
mont's declination had been received, but
this inquiry failed of confirmation. The
opinion was expressed by high officials
that Gen. Manderson, Col. Sexton and
DR.. Keen might serve. As stated, how
ever, some of the gentlemen have written
that they had taken the matter under
advisement and there is considerable
doubt what the result viii be.
