The cyclone which visited Kansas City on the night of the lUtli was very tlestinctive to both life and property property to tho amount of hundreds of thousand3 ol dollars was destroyed, houses were completely demolished, several deaths are reported and many people injured. In the. vicinity of Wyandotte, also there was wide-spread disaster. Several other localities in Missoui, and Michigan also suffered from storms at about the same time. IMPROVEMENTS.

He has been a consistent, straight forward advocate of the commonest riirhta a . people under any form of civilized government ure entitled to.

Xovv, the British rate on. tobacco is 84 cents a pound ; ours is 3" cents. Tiw British ra'e on spirits is $.48 per gallon; ours is 82. The British rates on wines aie.bout as heavy as ours. The British rates on tea is 12 cents "a pound, while this article is on our frte list. On the whole, therefore, these im ports are taxed more heavily there than here. But the quantities of these ar ticles imported into tho United States are so much smaller than the quanti ties imported into Great Britain that, even if our duties were as high as the British duties, the amount of revenue raceived would be very much less here thin there.

The following we clip fiom a cor respondent of the Liacolu Journal from Fail bury, Jefferson county: A good deal of iuterest is mani fested here in the proposed Plalts- niouth and & Southwestern railroad. Fairbi y nas long been cut off from di- . - i : l : . . t . . recc communicaiion uy ran wnu umn parts of tha state our only accsss to Lincoln or Omaha being by way ol Hastir.gs for many years. V hen the Denver Iin9 of tlie B. & M. was built we were promised that the road should pass through Fairbury if we should give the company bonds. The bonds were voted, but lor some inscru table reason the road made a crossing six miles below us and left us in nearly as bad a plight as before. A railroad is needed on the line tlie v. S. W . proposes to build, and we have strong hopes that one will soon be built there." The HfIuald can assure its readers that this correspondent voices the sen timents of the people along the. entire route of the proposed Plattsmouth and Southwestern railroad. Tiie FaTTs City Journal does not often get off of its base, but iu its com ments on our Nebraska courts, wo are surprised at Bro. Pepoon's course of reasoning, and can only account for his exceatricjogic upon the theory that he has been exposed, and caught the disease from the Gazette-Journal, of Hastings. The Falls City Journal says: "These reversals by the Supreme court merely show that the Supreme judges disagree with the District jirtlges in re gard to the construction to be givcu to statutes and upon these points any two lawyers are likely to disagree." This is a remarkable conclusion, and of itself ought down any Supreme court in the land. The same objection ob taias to all Higher court.

Hank The following article from the G obe-Demo'Tat is well worthy the per.--.ual of all persons interested in the ?o-ca'le t tariff issue: ENOLIi-n AND A2IEKICAN TARIFFS. The British government has during the l ist ten years raised Ju-;- al out ?100.uou,000 of revenue ann rally by duties on imports. Oar government derived 8200,000,000 from customs last year, 8108.000,000 in 1831, $186,000, 00o in 1S80, and an average amount of about 8l40.o00,000 during each of the five years next preceding 1880. Whether wo have a tariff for revenue only, or one for protection only, or one for revenue with incidental protec tion, or one for protection with inci dental revenue, we shall for many years to come be oblidged to collect upon imports much loss than $200, 000,000 per annum. It is obvious therefore, that a great deal of the talk of the Iroquois clubs and the Henry Wattersons about free trade is all humbug; and it is equally obvious that some of the friends of protection are needlessly alarmed over the ex pected advent of a "free trade Con gress. For, though the adoption again at some future day of a strictly revenue tariff is conceivable however un likely it is to happen for many years the exigencies of the country are certain to be such that considerable protection must continue to be af forded to various industries. It is impossible to collect all the revenue that must be paid, upon articles not produced in this couutry. Tea, coffee aud sugar apart, there are not suffi cient importations of articles produced abroad exclusively, or almost exclus ively, to yield, whether at a high or a low rate, anything like "the total amount of revenue from imports that must be had. A tariff for revenue mu3t afford in cidental protection, because, in older to yield the n-eded amouut of revenue duties must bd imojjjd 0:1 ta my im ported art icles such as are also pro duced in this ouatiy. Tiu republi can party, as we uudv.rsliinJ t.'i-s cise, advocates not a tariff for 1.10 io:ioly, but a tariff for reveuu-j with inci lea tal protection. If $203,0 Jtf.OJJ ii to be collected a inu ily, t ie oh-'t.ic ; for an honest diffvrr't nj of o;:-ii;i lain relation, t:i the. a lj 13111 ml of duties and the stdooti i if nl litil-a t i bj given incidental pro'-soUou. Th? ne cessity for projection cao not be de nied, however vehemently its pro priety may be declaimed against by professors of pure economies. A little examination, cf the British tariff will bring to light the fact that 3200,000.000 can net be collected iu this country by duties on imports without giving much protection to home industry. In raising 8100,000,- ta,riff JpetLjiritain ceis $42, Spirit Wine tral Wine iu The British rates are presumably ad justed to produce the maximum amount of revenue. If our rates were the same, the quantities imported remaining un changed, we should derive, say, $ 11,- 00'7K)0 fro n tobacvo, $1(),')U0XX) from t-, " ( 0.),() )0 from -pirits. and $2,750,- 000 from wines Thesis iten make a total of MJoO.OOO- The above estimates, though rough, are close enough to show that while Great Britain raises 90 per cent of her customs revenue from four com modities, the same rates applied in this country to the same commodities would produce not 15 per cent of our custom revenue. There is, moreover, no prospect of the reimposition of a duty on tea or coffee. Both parties appear to be com mitted to the "free breakfast table' idea though, by the way, both parties support the tax on sugar, which is more important as an article of fcod than tea and coffee are together with several other things thrown in. The point we wish to make is that there is no danger of the adoption of the Brit ish free trade system here, bscause it would bankrupt the treasury. It is true our tariff might be so adjusted as to produce more revenue and give le: s protection than at present; 1 ut, what ever the adjustment, it must resemble the present tariff much more closely than the British system, and must give no small amount of protection to many trade'.
