AMENDING THE GOEBEL LAW.


The Kentucky State Senate by an
almost unanimous vote has passed a
bill amending the Goebel election law.
The natural tendency in such cases is
to go to the other extreme in the re-
form sought to be accomplished, End
it is largely SO in this case.
The bill abolishes the party device
on the ballot, requires that all ballots
shall be printed on paper to be furn-
isbed by the State librarian, requires
that at least one member of each
county board of election commission
ers shall be a Republican and provides
that two election officers in each vot-
ing precinct shall be chosen from the
two leading parties, from lists to be
furnished by the party authorities.
There are some good features in this
measure and also some bad ones which
will not be likely to improve the facil-
tiles for determining the will of the
people of Kentucky at the polls.

MORE ANTI-"sAPHoY MORALITY.

The hue and cry of the anti" Sapho"
crusade in New York has even pene-
trated the somnolent City of Brotherly
Love, which has been aroused to the
extent of sending to Jail bookseller
for selling "Sapho." This bookseller
IS doubtless grateful for the advertise
nent. but is be really the only book
seller in Philadelphia who handles
"Sapho?"
This work of the French Dickens,
Alphonse Daudet, has been on the
market for a long time. While it may
just have penetrated Philadelphia s
shell, 1t has been on sale elsewhere

TIE DANISH WEST INDIES.

Thu preponderance Of sentiment IN
Denmark is said to be against the sale
OF Ia Danish West Indies to the
Unit. States. If this is true it is
info, tunate for both countries. Neither
is getting the slightest benefit from
the islands now. Several years ago
Denmark received her sugar supply
from there, but the development of the
beet sugar industry has deprived her
of even this reason for holding the
Islands AS it is the Danish West In
dies are simply burden to Denmark,
while they would be a valuable point
OF vantage for the United States.
Sooner or later the entire Antilles
group is bound to be owned by the
United States. With proper political
treatment all of those islands can be
made luxurient garden spots and their
value greatly enhanced both to their
inhabitants and to this country.
They are within the limits of the
United States and subject to our pro-
lection from foreign aggression, I'M
der the terms of the Monroe Doctrine.
The Danish West Indies given prop
or advantages would very rapidly de-
velop and increase in value. They will
be of special advantage to the United
States when the Nicaragua canal is
built Denmark, to whom they are
practically valueless, should not act
the part Of the dog in the manger.

makers whose scores have been read and
explained to us. Their programme of Tues
day contained these three quartettes: Va
Dittersdorf in E fiat major; Schumann' s
in minor, and Beethoven's in G sharp
minor. Not only were the numbers well
chosen for contrast and progression of
ideas, but the keys selected and their
arrangement and combination were worth
nothing. For if there be tone colors"
these three are surely worth combining.

FLASHES.

Yes flashes of light seem to come.
Through the clouds that hang Ger our
way,
To brighten the darkness, for some,
Who may have been going astray.
Yes, flashes of hope, with her prize.
Revisit our dreams in the night,
To crown the pale brow Ger sad eyes,
And burdens of grief to make light
These flashes oft come to us late.
After clouds have hidden blue skies,
To remind the treasures OF fate
Are unseen by our human eyes.
flashes visit youth. and old age
With meanings that are ever felt,
While they point to each written page,
And tell US where honor has dwelt
Those flashes of sorrow and gloom,
That we pass through, often are best
AS virtue. and truth, ever loom.
From the bosoms that grief has pressed.
Let flashes come al as they will
In life we must taste all they bring
Our cups they alternately fill,
While of grief, or joy, we may sing.

WASHINGTON Sept. 27-The Weather Bureau has
received from its local forecast official at Calves
ton, I. NJ. Cline, report on the great hurricane
of September S. The report is remarkable in
eraI respects. 1t gives complete scientific record
Of the great storm. with account of the damage
done. a map of the ruined in the city and
records of the meteorological instruments at the
station up to the time they were destroyed by the
hurricane. Mr.. Cline one of the sufferers by
the disaster. His house which a substantial
structure IN the beach section Of the residence dis
trfct. became the refuge OF fifty people at about
the height of the storm. 1t went down in the
general wreck. and thirty-two of the inmates, in
Guiding Mrs. Cline, were killed. Mr.. Cline and
his assistant, J. c. Cline rescued three children
and one woman, and escaped TO the centre Of the
city, after drifting about in the Gulf for three
hours floating wreckage.
Mr.. Cline speaks in the highest terms Of the
work Of John D. BIagden, one of the observers at
the station who stood by the office Until all the in
struments had been blown away. Mr. Blagden
knowing the Importance of the barometer record.
and fearing to trust the Paragraph automatic
recording instrument. took readings of the mer-
curiaI barometer through the height OF the storm
at intervals Of five minutes. The instrument
showed a minimum reading of 2S53. the lowest ever
recorded in this country.
The report says that the usual premonitory hur-
ricane signs were entirely wanting in the storm Of
the Sth. The wind throughout the It'll and the
early morning hours Of the 8th itful from the
northeast and storm signals were displayed. At
3 a. m on the sth the lower section Of Galveston
flooded by a phenomenal tide advancing in
long swells directly in the teeth of the wind. This
fact telegraphed to the main office Wash
ington The wind. however. did not reach storm
velocity until ; p. m, after which 1t steadily in
creased, accompanied by rain. Warnings were
by wire and verbally that the wind
due shift by the to the south. and that the
yet TO come. People we're advised to
seek substantial shelter in the centre Of the city
for the night and thousands from the low beach
section needed this warning and saved when
the general crash came.
The wind before S p m. reached hurricane
hour maintained by the thermometer for five
minutes. When the wind reached 100 miles
hour. bout s o'clock, the thermometer was carried
away. There a brief hull the storm cen
ire passed, and then the wind swung to the south
east and blew with inCrea sed velocity II is esti
mated that this gust reached velocity Of 80
miles hour
Mr. Cline's map of the area Of total destruction,
checked by the estimates of the insurance under
writers indicates that 1886 houses destroyed

known, but il is estimated at over six thousand
The damage to property will exceed $50 100000.
