On Friday, about half-past three
o'clock, a peculiarity was observed in
a small cloud southeast of the city
that appeared to be slowly drifting in
a northeasterly direction along the
valley of the Platte. A small, funnel
shaped projection hung from the low
er edge of the cloud, which gradually
extended to the ground ; then it was
that the nature of the phenomenon
was decided, for the dust and dirt
raised from the earth, could be plain
ly seen from elevated positions in the
city, rising in a dark cloud in the
track of the cyclone, with such evi
dent terrible force that it was clear to
all who witnessed it that destruction
mnst follow in its wake, and consid
erable apprehension for the safety of
life and property in its course was
felt by observers. It lasted about
half an hour, apparently moving very
slowly, and disappeared very much
as an ordinary cloud.
We are unable to learn that any
great amount of damage was done, as
the course of the storm was, luckily,
not through a thickly settled district.
John Flechsel had one cow killed'and
his crops nearly all destroyed. A few
acres of corn, which happened to be
out of the course of the cyclone es
caped. All his small grain was de
stroyed. Nearly all of the clothing
of the family was taken from a line
in the yard, and carried away and a
wagon was taken into the air and
dropped again without doing it any
serious damage. The house escaped.
Several other farmi lay very close to
the track of the storm, severely alarm
ing" their owners, but we can learn of
no other damage.

Editor Journal : The northern
part or Humphrey precinct was vis
ited by a severe hail storm yesterday
afternoon, and for a strip of about a
mile wide from north to south, the
crops were greatly damaged, and
more or less glass broken out of all
windows on the north and west sides
of the houses.
All the glass in the upper sashes of
the north and west windows of S. H.
Wanzer's house was broken out; the
lower part of the windows was saved
by the wire screens.
Mr. Crue's cattle broke out of his
pasture and went before the storm.
Mead's horses broke out of his pas
ture and one three-year-old colt that
he was keeping for one of his neigh
bors got badly hurt on his fence or
in jumping into S. H. Wanzer's pas
ture. Several teams ran away, but no
serious accident thereby.
Horses and cattle were frightened
and hurt, too, and no wonder, for
many of the hail stones were as large
as prairie chicken's eggs and some of
them larger.
In Humphrey village and around
it, very little damage was done.

ferred to.
To vote, as Webster clearly inti
mates, is to express our will as to the
laws by which we shall be governed,
and as to who shall execute those
law.-. The ballot U the instrument
by which a free people governs itself,
and has to do with law and the exe
cution of law, in other words, Gov
ernment. The ballot, then, represents Govern
ment and the question becomes, Is
our government a physical power
alone, or Is it also a moral power.
By a physical power we understand
oue which holds physical force as its
final appeal in the execution of its
behests. On the other hand, a moral
power is one which exerts itself
through spiritual influence and never
appeals to force. This is the sense in
which I used the terms physical and
moral power.
The question is not, does the gov
ernment never, in any case, exert a
moral influence, but. Does the govern
ment, as a government, in the per
formance of its legitimate and essen
tial functions, make force, the "army
and navy," its final appeal ? If so, it
must be a uBhvsical nnor iinnp
The ballot then would represent a
physical power alone. For whatever
moral power the government possess
es it derives, not from the ballot at all,
but from the character of the nation,
from its press, pulpit, and literature,
and from its moral and intellectual
institutions.
''The moral power of the will of the
governed expressed by the ballot"
would be like the moral suasion of
the father who should shake a raw
hide in his son's face and say, "John
ny, will you please run after the
cows?"
To speak of a law as being ''en
forced by the consent of the govern
ed" is an anomaly. Our laws are
always in force by the con-sent of the
governed. They are enforced only
against those who resist them. Thev
are always enforced by the use of
physical power.
Law and government are for the
punishment of rogues and for a bar
rier between the lawless and the loyal.
If every man was honest and bowed
to the moral power of right, a form
of government such as we now have
would be superfluous. The presence
of bad men in the community gives
rise to the necessity of law and gov
ernment. Mr. Gerrard thinks that the "ballot
represents our convictions of risht,
of justice, of liberty." Well, if a man
is intelligent enough to have convic
tions, and sulllciently well balanced
to always obey his convictions, his
vote will represent his convictions
if it has a chance; many of our votes
represent only our choice of evils,
unfortunately. But if a man has no
settled conviction his vote will rep
resent his passion, or his impulse, or
his aravice, or his Ignorance. Tery
frotten this class hold the balanp nf
power and sway elections. In that
case good men will voluntarily sub
mit to the result in obedience, not to
the "moral power of-the will of the
governed" ("which expression seems
to me to contradict itseh) but in obe
dience to Him who savs"Submit to !
the powers that be."
As to whether a woman holds her
own security already that is settled
by my first and second propositions,
which Mr. Gerrard admits to be true.
If "Moral power is a higher order of
power than physical and more truly
dominant" then womau should use it
and rely upon it and beg favors of no
man. To descend from her lofty
plane and sue for a place beside man
in the use of merely physical force is
to degrade herself.
