STORM PARALYZES TRAFFIC. IN SNOW BANKED STREETS

A blizzard almost of the immensely of that
of March, 1888, struck New-York yesterday
For more than twenty-four hours it turned the
metropolis and adjacent territory, water and
land alike, into a binding whirl of snow, wind
and ice. Whether or no a record has been
touched, January 25, 1905 will go down in the
annals of the city of the stormiest. cold
est, most inhospitabe days in the memory of
the present generation. Death. damage and un-
told discomfort marked the progress of the
storm.
While the surface car traffic in Manhattan was
interfered with early in the day yesterday. it
was not until last night that the effect of the
storm became really apparent
Practically no passengers were carried on sur
face cars in Manhattan last night. Along some
of the arteries the company sweepers. run
ming with perhaps single car in their wake.
On every surface line long strings of cars
were stalled waiting for the sweeper to clear the
tracks and for power to bring them to the barns.
The railroad employees. wherever it was possible
to obtain sufficient power ran these cars in
strings. at times four and five long. into the
barns. This plan was pursued all night.
Colder but clearer weather is predicted for
to-day.
ParaIyzed street traffic, shipping at stand
stin. overdue mails. depleted stores. school
houses and theatres; distress beyond computa-
ton and accidents beyond number, were among
the byproducts OF the storm.
Forecaster Emery expects that the tempera-
ture will drop from 10 to 10 degrees in the next
twanty-four hours. Telegraph reports have been
received from the West showing that
treneIy cold wave is moving rapidly eastward
in the wake of the snowstorm.
Up to O'Clock yesterday morning the official
record at the Weather Bureau showed that 90

Mr.. Emery the severity Of the storm was due to
the fact that two storms met
Little by little the car service on the Williams
burg Bridge surrendered TO the storm. until
shortly before midday none of the cars were
moving across the structure. Even the hardest
pedestrians refused TO hazard chances in cross
ing the bridge. The horse car lines. even using
teams of four horses. made little or no head

through Columbus Circle were delayed by great

Efforts of the sweepers. In all the cross streets
leading up from the river the northwest gale
formed drifts sometimes four or FIVE feet high
on the north sides of the streets and swept the
other sides bare.

by specific proclamations by the local authori-

light of that fact it looks like DEM
ocratic trick. But it appears more
like the work of some fanatic, who
incidentally or otherwise broke into
the Legislature, and amid the hum
drum of busy session of that "Au-
gust" body got bill through the
two houses providing for the sub
mission of the question to a vote.
Be this as it may, we are face to
face with the proposition to abandon
the secret ballot system of voting.
We are, by our votes in November,
to determine whether we are to
continue the present system, The
secret ballot" or return to The
walk up and publicly designate your
choice system" a system that offers
premium to vote buyers and other
corrupting influences and adds
greatly to the strife, turmoil and
evil effects of political campaigns.
According to The REPUBLICANS
view of the situation, decisive vote
should be given against the proposed
change.

dreadful disease. In short while,

A SMART GERRYMANDER.

It's really amusing to watch the

rem and note the cunning silent man.
ner in which they manipulate public
affairs so that, if possible, their in
ordinate desire to dominate and rule
the county's affairs, draw the Salar-
les, of county offices and drop the
crumbs which fall from their official
table into the hands of less signifi-
cant, yet equally willing, dissem-
blers, may be gratified.
AS before stated they are crafty
souls" when it comes to adding to
their own account under a guise of
serving the public. In looking over
the field in 1901 they saw that there
was no way possible, with only five
Magisterial districts for them to re-
tain control of the Fiscal Court, so
at the May term of County Court
that year, Judge Miller presiding,
the number was increased to seven
and by astute figuring and concen-
trating all the main Republican
strongholds in one (CromwelD dis
trict, four of them were made Dem
ocratic. But alas and alac in 1903
Hartford district went Republican
by small majority. Something
must be done before the next coun-
ty election the artful souls" whis-
pered to each other. So in due time,
as the initial step and in case of ne
cessity. an order was made in Coun-
ty Court by Judge Miller establish
ing Prentis voting precinct out of
Democratic parts of Cromwell, Cool
Springs and West Beaver Dam pre-
cincts and comprising parts of Crom-
well, Rockport and Hartford Magis-
terial districts.
They began early so there would
be no necessary for haste. They de-
cided to try the the strength of
Hartford district again which they
did in 1904. But 10 and behold the
Republicans carried it that time by
81 majority. This clearly showed
that Democratic Prentis must be an
nexed to Hartford district which
was done at the last term of County
Court, and now we have a Magister-
ial district extending from Alexan-
der school house, about two and a
half miles north of Hartford, to
Rochester. All of this was done I'M
der guise of serving the public and
but few would.detect the underlying
hand that has wrought the whole
matter for practical purposes. A
sharp gerrymander isn't it? But
don't charge it to our County Judge
it bears semblence of unfairness.

An Indisputable
SAFE INVESTMENT

The material progress which our
country is now, and has been making
for the past decade of years, naturally
brings to the surface numerous schemes
Of the "get-rich-quick" character that
benefit only the promoters of such, at
the expense Of innocent investors.
In this age of genuine prosperity
with every legitimate business boom
ing, wages high, work in abundance,
giving employment to all willing to
earn, and products of the farm bring
ing best prices; there is little or no
excuse for one not to join the army
OF money-makers.
The first and safest investment to
make is to become a reader of the
CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, the greatest
and most reliable newspaper in the
United States. With the facts, truth
and information cleaned from its COL
umns, one may become we'll qualified
to reach out and secure his share of
