in mid air, with stripes of red and

The democratic party, the party of
Jefferson, Jackson and Bryan, the
party whose principles are alleged to
be of the evergreen variety, is having
more trouble to find an excuse for ex-
istence than an evergreen party ought
to have. A few years ago tariff reform
was the thing; it tried to reform the
tariff and reformed about all of the
working men of the country out of
their jobs and the rest of the popula-
ton into bankruptcy. Then it began
to talk about reforming the monetary
system, but the people drew the line
there. Now it is trying to break
away from financial refrom, but can It
make up its mind what needs reform
most. Some of the boys say the 16 to
l bunco game isn't played out yet;
some of them want to reform the
trusts, and some think the question of
giving the Philippines back is para
mount. When the democratic party
finally gets down to business, decides
what it is here for, and patches up its
immortal and Interchangeable principles
so they will fit the issue-that is to
say, when the cat finally Jumps
many prominent statesmen will ex-
perience great access of courage of
their convictions, and it will be better
all around.-Yakima Republic.

Coming on top of the presence of j.
Hill on the Sound and the announce
ment that President Mellen will be
here in few days, lis persistent
rumor that new giant has appeared
in the transcontinental struggle, with
Tacoma as the object of it's activity.
1t is the Burlington, which is now
said to be bent on Puget Sound ter
minal, and the mysterious deyelope-
ments in the Columbia valley are
given more than local importance.
In other words, it may develop that
the rivalry between the o. r. & N.
and the Northern Pacific in the Clear
water country of Idaho and along the
Snake river roots back in the question
of two more transcontinental railroads
the Northwest, the Northern Pacific
being opposed to the scheme and the
0. r. & N. rather favoring it. It is
nothing less than pool of the Union
Pacific and Burlington to build to the
Sound.
No secret is made of the fact that
the Burlington system is seeking a
Pacific coast terminal. 1t is officially
given out that the road has made ar
rangements to extend its line westward
from Billings where it makes connect
ion with the Northern Pacific, to Butte
where it will have a choice of three
routes to the coast-Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and Oregon Short
Line, the last-named road connecting
with the 0. r. & N. for Portland, and
with the Central Pacific at Ogden for
San Francisco While this would be
marked improvement over the Burling-
tons present position, it could not be
entlely satisfactory to such a great
railroad system, and it is not to be
expected that that line would rest
content with It's Western terminus at
Butte. The probability that it will
have a track of its own, or facilities
that shall be equivealen: to Its own
track, to Puget Sound, is what gives
peculiar interest to the railroad stu
alton in the Northwest, taken in con-
junction with the Union Pacific's

of the most terrific cyclones ever wit

miles south of Hudson on Lake St.
Croix. It was witnessed by hundreds
OF people,. and seemed to follow the
lake and to be making directly for the
city, but about two miles south it
veered to the east and left the lake
and crossed the country. It was
about twenty rods wide and destroyed
everything in lis track.
A special to the Times from North
Wisconsin Junction, Wis, says: A
courier from Boardman, just in reports
that the whole town has been wiped

definite news can be obtained at this
time OF casualties, it is presumed
that many were injured and possibly
some killed. 1t is known that Dave
Heferton is severely injured and his
wife killed.
