One elemental woe follows
upon another in quick success
sion in these perilous times, un-
till even the keenest appetite
for horrors must needs be sa-
tiated. But for cataclysm at
st. Pierre the record of recent
cyclonic destruction in Texas
and other Southwestern States
would have startled the nation.
Hundreds of people whirled to
swift death; homes, factories,
churches, and even entire towns
obliterated; railway and tele-
graph communication cut off,
and the sad story of suffering
given but meagre publicity
such are the salient features of
the Texas tornado episode
which set the entire Southwest
a-shivering with apprehension
and dismay 1t is too late for
this generation to safeguard
the growing towns of our wind
sweptprairie regions from these
furious elemental visitations;
but the duty of due precaution
is none the less urgent. In the
distinctively cyclone section of
the Mississippi Valley there is
far greater danger during the
spring season from tornadoes
than from any other element of
public danger, yet these mon
sters, that come "horsed on the
sightless couriers of the air."
are persistently ignored by the
careless populace.-Philadeip

CUBA is free; the long strug-
gle for independence which has
characterized the life of every
Cuban for years has at last
ended, and the desire of freedom
hoped for has been realized.
This week for the first time in
the history of the Island the
people of Cuba have been able
to breath the air of free coun-
try. This is as it should be and
every American freeman should
feel proud to known that to our
country is due the credit for the
freeman's life which the inhab-
itants of Cuba will hereafter be
permitted to live. The Spanish
Cubanwar went on for years and
would have continued for years
to come but for our interference
to free the Islanders, an act
which has won for us the praise
of every liberty loving people.
That our course in intervening
was right is exemplified by the
easy manner of success, and the
justification by all the nations
of the earth. What use the
Cubans will make of their in
dependence remain to be seen.
For our sake as well as their
own it is to be hoped that they
will fulfil, in a reasonable meas
ure, the requirements of stable
and efficient government. In
the interval of trial, it must be
remembered,it has been not only
the American governors, but
also the Cuban governed, that
have behaved well. Let us
hope that their future record
will be creditable, but let us
remember, too, that many
standings are to be forgiven,
and that we ourselves, i'm our
State and city governments at
home, are not always beyond
reproach.

THE newly installed secre-
tary of the navy is reported to
have expressed surprise at the
great number of naval officers
on duty in Washington and to
have expressed a determination
to ship a lot of them to sea on
active duty. Let Mr.. Moody be-
ware. The bureaucratic gang,
headed by Crowninshield, which
dominated John ID. Long, is
still in existence and all the
rocking chair sailors, cotillion
leaders and senatorial sons-in-
law on the navy list will be af-
ter his scalp if he undertakes to
put his purpose into execution.
The successful sailor nowadays
Is the man who sticks close to
his desk and never goes to sea
or who, if he does go to sea,
keeps out of range until the
fighting is over.

1t is quite evident from the
correspondence of the Armours
with their agents that the high
toned gentlemen in the Beef
Trust have small confidence in
the integrity of each other
while they are mutually fleeing
the public. Although bound by
the most solemn agreements,
they are kept constantly on the
watch lest one of their number
should invade territory allotted
exclusively to another and cut
prices. So great a want of con-
fidence among honorable bust
ness men united in the quest of
spoil is quite saddening to the
moral philosopher.

THE SECRET SOCIETY.

The attempt of supposed indig-
nant members of secret socie.
ties to mob two rash and mis-
guided, if not slanderous,
preachers at SeafOrd, Del, was
foolish as well as lawless and
reprehensible. The provoca-
ton was series of bitter at
tacks on secret organizations.
of the character and purposes
of which the preachers are prob
bly, ignorant. ''Thad" Stevens
was the last great Mason fight
er in this country, and even he
is said to have been convinced
at last that the Masons do not
grow horns and spiked tails.
At any rate, as his sphere of
influence enlarged he found
many more important concerns
to tax his energies than the
doings of amiable citizens who
crafty their love of mystery
by secret meetings, grips, signs
and pass words and their am
bition for superlative titulary
designations. Since even the
Great Commoner could not ter
rorize the people by predictions
of the overthrow of free insti-
buttons by a number of harm
less secret societies, it is not to
be feared that the two preach
ers could succeed in the same
purpose.
OF course, there have been
and there are still in some parts
of Europe, among the oppressed
and among the vicious, secret
organizations which have far
reaching aims, and which some
times resort to assassination.
Doubtless groups of hotheaded
and often admirable young men
in Russia have planned the muir
der of men in authority in re-
sentiment of police tyranny. In
Italy there is reason to believe
the Malta murders for gain, and
that the regicides from Italy
have belonged to secret anarch-
istic societies is highly proba-
BILE. In this country, however,
and especially among represen-
tative citizens, secrecy at the
worst is an amiable weakness in
a society. Most of us are ac-
quainted with active members
of such societies. We have
seen a neighbor in full panoply
and on parade, and although he
may look formidable until his
legs get tangled up with his
sword, and perhaps capable of
planning a campaign of dyna-
mite for the purpose of blowing
up the churches of Cristendom,
we know in our hearts that he is
more concerned about keeping
the dandelions out of his grass
and the moths out of his regalia
(for he smells of camphor) than
about the deep and dire objects
which have been charged
against his society.
Let the Seaford preachers con-
tinue to hurl their rhetoric at
the secret societies if they can
find no better use for their en-
ergies. The American people
have cut their eye teeth and
are not easily duped. To shoot
at the preachers for their fool
ish utterances is to dignity
their charges and even TO lend
an appearance of truth to them,
Besides, to be attacked as har-
boring malignant designs for
the overthrow of ecclesiastical
institutions is to give unreal
to harmless forms
which must add greatly to the
pleasures of Masonry, Odd Eel
lowship, Pythianism and other
systems of secrecy.-Pnitadei., hia

Do { Believe H7 Dreams ,?

Well, you can bet your last 3-cent piece [ do, and why? Because the other night dreamed that coal could be bought at S5.50 per ton wholesale, aud the retailer was charging S10; and then it dropped to S5 and the re taller went up to S10.50. Doesn't that seem true? I dreamed the trolley car people thought walking was good up Baldwin street way. so they decided to fay no tracks up there for another few years. Doesn't that seem true? I dreamed Hamilton park was to get a two years setback. Look at your 1903 tax bill when it arrives and see if that doesn't look like q dream on facts. 2 | dreamed we were to get a patrol wagon for the police station eleven years hence; wait and see if my dream isn't pretty near correct. dfeamt weswere giving boys well made sled with one pound of our war ranted good sBaking Powder, 45 cents per pound. and sure enough we had them the next day.
