THE NEWS CONDENSED
Galena, Illinois, Visited by a
Torrific Rain Storm,
NEW TO Hk SUN ON CLEVEALND.
The Record of Stevenson, Candidate
for Vice President on the Dem
ocratlc Ticket not so Bril
liant as has Been
Claimed.
The following dispatch from Ga
lena, III., says that the terrific rain
fall of Wednesday night and Thurs
day proved the most disastrous ever
experiencel in that locality. The
Galena river rose at the rate of an
inch per minute Thursday. Hy 8
tclock the main streets were Hood
ed. Rowboats were the only means
of crossing and obtaining entrance
to Home of the buildings. The base
ments and lower floors of every
business house in the town are
flooded. At the Lawrence hotel the
water stood seven feet deep on the
dining room lloor. At the Kuro
pean hotel the parlor floor was sev
eral feet under water. Business
men attempting to sae their books
and naiiers waded in water
Ut to their necks in their
own offices. The custom house
lloor was Hooded two feet
deep, also the Merchants' bank in
which the Western Union telegragh
office is located, cuttingolf all com
munication with the outside world
for a time. The Illinois Central
bridge, though heavily ballasted
with stone laden freight cars, was
swept away, and the heavy iron
bridge at Green street met the same
fate. Landslides obstruct the rail
roads. The track of the Burlington
& Northern is so covered at twenty
points below Galena and at Galena
Junction, a distance of three miles.
seven miles of the Northwestern
track was washed away. The pub
lic and private losses are very
heavj'.
No one appears to know any
thing about Judge Gresham's reply
to the Knights of Iabor as to his
candidacy before the convent -on at
Omaha for president.
It was a bitter dose that Tam
many was forced to swallow at the
Chicago convention.
V
The Otoe county democrats feel
terribly sore over the speech of
Hilly O'Hryan at Nebraska City
Monday. His position on the silver
bill does not accord with the rank
and file of those democrats. The
democrats of Otoe county are san
guine of his defeat.
The New York Sun (dem), in com
menting on the Chicago nomina
tion, says:
"There is one question depending
on the election of the next presi
dent, which in its momentous im
portance and Tital importiveness
must seem to every philosophical
observer to exceed every other
political question that the people
are now called upon to determine.
"We mean the question whether
jthese southern states which have
Jinherited a negro population sur
passing the number of their white
bitizens, shall be by federal
aw and by federal mili
ary force subjected to the political
lomination of the negroes. The
-epublican party is, by its nature
md tradition, under the necessity
i enacting and executing an
lection law whose purpose and ef
ect will be to put the negroes
n control of several of the southern
tates. On the other hand, and by
he nature and necessity of the
leas involved, the success of the
emocracy is death to the force bill
roject- Killed in the election it can
ever be revived. In this view of
,ie contest, what conscientious
emocrat can hesitate about his
uty? Better vote for the liberty
nd the white government of the
-Htthern stales, even if the
nndidate were the devil himself,
ither than consent to the election

ith a force bill in his pocket.
The Omaha Bee's Washington
irrespondent has this to say con-
rning the nomination for vice
resident on the democratic ticket:
"There was considerable discus
on in Washington yesterday with
gard to the record of Mr. Adlai
evenson, who was selected to be
. 1 mnilinir tll.lfl"
rover Lievciinm c ,........,,
the democratic presidential
;ket. There seems to have been a
jy general impression that Mr.
evenson was "v ,
at for that reason he would oe
rticularly acceptable to me soi-
element. This view was
ared by a large number of demo-
itic congressmen, ana n wan
nsiderable surprise tnai mey
... - . us-n had tio
army record and that during the
war he was pursuing the peaceful
occupation of a lawytr'at his home
in Illinois.
"At the outbreak of the war and
until Mr. Stevenson was master in
chancery of Wood ford county, Illi
nois, from 1801 to 168, he was the
state's attorney 'or the Twenty-third
judicial district. There has also
been a raking of his political record,
jrta there 'has been an impression
that he was not an out andoutdem-
tocrat in the years immediately suc
ceeding the war and that he had at
time greenback affiliations.
"Mr. Stevenson's first appearance
in national politics was in 1871, when
he made a successful contest for
the position of congressman from
theold thirteenth district of Illinois.
At that time he ran as a candidate
of the 'independent reform party.'
President Hayes appointed him in
1879 a member of the board of vis
itors to West I'oint. He again made
the race for congress and by a com
bination between the national green
back and democratic parties he was
elected to the forty-sixth congress
by a majority of 1.K0O votes over the
republican candidate. Mr. Steven
son's gratuitous title of 'general'
comes from his having been Cleve
land's lirst assistant postmaster
general. It was reported in Grand
Army of the Republic circles here
to-day that Mr. Stevenson during
the war was a copperhead and a
shining light in the order of the
Knights of the Golden Circle, and
also that his sympathies were con
stantly with the south. It is also
stated by clerks in the postoflice de
partment who served there while
Stevenson was President Cleve
land's headman of fourth class
postmasters, that it was he who ap
pointed so many jail birds to hand
out the mails to unsophisticated
citizens.

Limestone Caves iu Burmah.
The question has been raised whether
the numerous limestone caves in British
Burmah have been explored for archae
ological remains. The Rev. F. Mason
pointed out the probability of an exam
ination of the stalagmite floors of these
caves yielding important archaeological
discoveries in 1872. Many of the caves
were known : to have been used by the
Buddhists of former generations, as
Buddhist idols were found in them, and
it is probable they were inhabited by
men in the early time. Philadelphia

The Pleasures of Being a Barber.
Barbering has been a very genteel art,
and it might be fine yet. The fee is so
small there is no excuse for doing a
credit business, and there is no bore of
bookkeeping. The chink drops in fast,
and "Next I" is a merry cry.
And what a luxury it is to have a man
fumble your face and head. The bar
ber's nimble, strong fingers rouses your
somnolent wits. It is delicious to be
kneaded, combed, brushed, bathed, cur
ried, spruced up. National Barber.
