A cyclone or tornado of uncommonly doslruntivo power swept down upon that city from the Fouthwest , wrecking buildings in the debris of which hundreds of por- -ons perished , and tilling the en tire community with drond nwl constornatton. Tito fearful vis itation , it would appear , was entirely unheralded , nml nonius from its sudden dovclonmont and limited extent lo have been rather in the uaturo ot u tornado than of a cyclone , though in violence it suggests the worst form of the lallor. The terrors ofouuh n visttalion can bo underslood only by Ihose who have ex perienced them , nnd in this instance they were rendered nioro awful by the burning of some of the buildings that wetu blown down , making a holocaust of the unforlunnlo people imprisoned in the ruins. Our dispatches give a graphic account of the fearful destruction , tlio appalling nature of which it is tlitllcult to comprehend , even with the statement that probably not less than twenty-live hundred hoiues were lovolcd to the ground and perhaps two thousand persons killed nnd injured. The tornado did its tcr- riblo work swiftly and relentlessly , leaving n path of death and disaster unprecedented in the history of the country from a like visitation. y n in.'KisuL / ; . A few days ago the house commiflco on coinage , by a vote of seven to live , agreed to report the \Vindom silver bill with a few important amendments. The measure , 113 agreed upon , places no limit on the amount of silver bullion , the product of American mines or of ores smelted or roliiiod in the United States , that may bo deposited with the government , KO long as the mar ket price of silver as determined by tnc secretary of the treas ury does not exceed one dollar for three hundred sevonty-ono and twenty-five hundredths grains of pure silver , but in case the price of silver goes above one dollar for the stated number of grains of pure silver it is made the duty of the , secretary of the treasury to refuse to receive deposits of bullion for the purpo-Cb of the act. in such event , however , any owner of bullion may take it to a mint to bo coined into standard silver dollars for his benefit. .It is thus provided that under any circumstances the govern ment shall utili/.o the silver product of the country as a part of the currency , in the ono case by receiving the bullion on de posit and issuing treasury notes against it , and whenever it shall not bo expedi ent to do this , by reason of the price of pure silver exceeding a stated value , by coining the bullion into dollars for the benelit of the owner. The protection thus accorded to the silver interest would seem to be ample , with due io- ; gard for the interests of the govern ment. A minority of the. coinage committee has. however , submitted to the house a report in opposition to the bill , in which it is staled that the measure is adroitly drawn to suspend silver coinage , to- lally demonoti/.o silver , and perma nently establish ! i single standard of gold payments. This merely suggests the general conclusions of the minority , and the arguments by which they are reached will be awaited with curious inliTost. It is certainly very dillicult lo underntaud how a measure that is absolutely mandatory in its provisions , and which leaves nothing what ever to the discretion of the secre tary of the treasury , could have such results as the mi nority of the coinage committee claims. Meanwhile the plan accepted by a majority of the house committee having charge of this subject has been practically rejected in its entirety by the finance committee of the senate , which proposes that the treasury shall purchase silver bullion to the average amount monthly of four and a half million dollars. There was a very pronounced opposition to the Wiudom bill in the senate committee , and nothing has occurred to indicate that under any circumstances that measure can llnd aucoplanco in the sen ate. On the other hand there has boon no intimation of friendliness toward the senate bill in the house. Thus it is that this very important question is in a most confused and un certain condition , with thu chances against any legislation regarding it at this session apparently growing stronger. It has been evident all along that if anything wore done to inere.nso the use of silver in the currency it would bo the result of a compromise ot views , and both tUeVindom bill and Iho senate measure make largo con cessions to the silver men , but the more radical ot those appear deter mined to antagonize all propositions that do not contemplate free coinage. It remains to bo seen whether they are strong enough to defeat silver legisla tion and tuo willing to ttike thnt re sponsibility. 'JUK I'"HHIT U.Y ir Hy n nearly strict party vote the house of representatives on Thursday passed the Wyoming admission bill. The democratic opposition teen various grounds. Ono of those was the iu- Bullieiom-y of population , another that the constitution of the proposed now sttito oilers Kuropean syndicates an In- vltation to "gobble up public hinds , " n third was that the instrument gives women the right of suft'rugo , but the real animua of the oppositfun was inado apparent in Iho declaration of u Pennsylvania domucnittu roprosonla- tivo that thi ) proposed admission of Wyoming "was intended to prick the United states senate. " A majority of the valors of the lorrllory are republi cans , nml it is reasonably certain that us a stale Wyoming would bo repre sented in botti brnnchas of congress by republicans. This is the ono consider ation that closed the minds of the democrats in the house to all soiuo of fairness and justice lo Iho people of Wyoming , and every .other argument for their opposition was u more pretext. Uno repuUkun voted ajjuiuat the bill for the reason that Iho Wyoming con- ( dilution provides that women shall fonve the right to vole. H is thought lo bo posssblo thnt when the measure goes to Iho ectmto it will be amended sons to repeal or nullify thnt clause of the con stitution , It is quilo probnblu , however - over , that nothing of this kind will bo done. In admitting a now stnto till that Is required regard ing the character of Us constitution Is thnt it shall bo republican in form , and whatever may bo thought of the expediency of granting the right of HiilTrngo to women it Is questionable whether a majority of the members of the .sonnto will declare that to do so Is inconsistent with a republican form of government. Hut in any event tins IH a mailer which can very easily bo dis posed of , and need not prove an obslti- clo lo the admission of Wyoming during the present year. So far as the objection on the ground of population is concerned it will un doubtedly have no weight with Iho.son- ato. The inhabitants of the territory number more than ono hundred thou sand , and in tholr character-for indus try , enterprise and thrift they cfomparo favorably with the people of any of the now states. There can bo no reasona ble doubt of their ability to support a stale government , and this Is really the chief matter for the consideration of congress. As lo the objection that the Wyoming constitution invites the in vestment of foreign capital , that is nn atl'uir of the people of which con gress cannot properly take tiny nolicc. There are great mining resources in Ihe territory which it. is desirable shall bo developed as rapidly as possible , nnd if the people who own and control them believe it to be to their interest to en list foreign enppiuil in developing them their right to do so cannot fairly bo questioned. They may undoubtedly bo trusted not to go farther in this than a prudent regard for their welfare sug gests. The republicans of Iho senate may make some changes in the house bill , but it is safe to say they will do nothing to unnecessarily delay the ad mission of the territory. A'O MOltK FHA A proposition has been submitted to the council by corlaiii capitalists and speculators to cslublish coinpnling gas works in Omaha , provided the city will grant to the ineorporators a fifty-year franchise ) for erectinir and operating gasworks. The conditions under which this franchise is asked are very tempting. The projectors agree to furnish to the cily of Omaha and the inhabitants thereof gas at a price not to oxcecd ono dollar per thousand cubic feet , with a reduction of ten per cent on all bills paid before the tenth of each month. It is an established fact that the sup ply of gas and water as well is in ilself a municipal monopoly. Competition is always followed by combination , nnd the only cheou to the cxa.-tionsof t.hoto monopolies it ; the intervention of mu nicipal power. The manifest object of the promoters of the competing- gas company 11 to procure a valuable fran chise. If their company over becomes a forinidablo rival to the existing gas company , -it will either sell out at u big . profit or consolidate the two plan is. fu cither event they will enrich themselves without inalorialy ben lilting the public. That a reduction in the price of gas will benelit the public we will concede. Hut the city council already lias the power to reduce the price of gas with- our gran tin i' any. new franchise. The charter expressly confers this power upon the city council and makes it its duty to regulate and establish the price * ot gas from time to time. If the con tract between the city and gas company can be legally abrogated , Iho price ot gas can bo cut down til any time. If the eity is obliged to take its gas from Iho present company fora lixed lerm of yours at a fixed prico. the taxpayers cannot get relief by giving a franchise to another company. The franchise to another gas com pany will simply mean ono ol two things a company with its gas-holders on paper and its pipe-lino running through the city council with boodle as a pernicious influence , and a sell-out in tlio end ; or , the digging up of llio streets and alleys , the damaging uprooting of pavements , and .11 consoli dation with the existing company with in a very short tune. In either event the only parties bone- filled would bo the boodlers , jabbers and speculators. Omaha has granted all the franchises she ever ought to grant. These franchises nro always represented us of litllo or no value when they are asked for , but they loom up in to the millions just as soon as a corporation'lias ac quired thorn. It has been so with the struct railways , the gas company , the waterworks company , and the electric lighting company , and it wilt bo so with every corporation that succeeds in fastening itself upon thu community with a right-of-way overhead , on the surface or underground. A I'OMJti iTi-.u of the Iowa legislature hau been trying to discover by the dicker of a dark lantern the existence of a school bool : trust. Under the" cir cumstances no evidence could be found. If the search light had pcnotrnlcd be yond the boundaries ot the slalo suf- tlciont proof could easily have been col- loolod showing Iho existence of a com bination or understanding bglweon four of the largest publishing houses in the country. In Vermont , Connecticut and other stales besides Iowa whore legis latures are in session bills are nornling bourlugtho ear marks ot the. school book trust to adopt a uniform standard of text books. If those measures be come law , u bunnuxn would bo put into-thu hands of the combine. It would Jmvo a monopoly ot supplying school books to llio stales at a price ii.burlng n handsome | n'olll. A'crmont has rejected the proposition of tlio trubt duo to a. hoalilu pttblic sentiment. It remains to bo been what Iowa will do. In the meantime , the special committee on text books for the schools' should trim its lamp and look again.

TIIK Now Vork board of railroad commissioners in passing upon the recent Lake Shore disaster has this rcconunonduUon lo make , that in case of accident railroad ollicials should aid the spreading of the earliest possible information of the names and the number ot the killed and injured. It is a notorious fact that the railroads throw every obstacle in Iho way of Iho transmission of reliable information and do everything in their power to Icccp the news from the newspapers in proportion to the gravity of the acci dent. This is n false and foolish policy. It is host that the truth ot n disaster bo learned at once rather than lo have conflicting rumors , often to the pvoju- dice of the railroad , spread abroad. Ollicials , moreover , owe n duty to rela tives and friends of the injured to relieve their suspense with reliable news and lo put them in communication with the victims at the carliu.it possible moment. If railroads persist in ignor ing these resonnblo demands the legis latures of the vrrious states will sooner or later bo invoked to grant thu neces sary powers to enforce them. Tins new Baltimore public building , which means custom house and post- olllce , was formally opened last Satur day.

The 1)111 ) introduced in tlio Uritlsli house of commons by Mr. Halfour , proposing to nd- vunco ono liuiiilrod iiud sixt.y-iivo million dollars to llm land tenants of frchinu , mak ing them instead of tlio landlords responsi ble for its repayment , 13 one of lt.ho most im portant inoasuix'3 presented in parliament in rccont yours. It 1ms ulrcatly been sub jected to n trovt ; : dcul of unfavorable vorable- criticism , us boitig plausible enough in promibe , but of questionable value to those in wlioao inturust it is urofesHotlly of- Icrcd , and the fact that it is denounced by Mr. Piirnoll will bo pretty sure to iiialco it unpopular with the real friends of Ireland. The fact that it ia proposed by the friontla of the landlord ! ) anil is to bo administered \ > y the I'rionds ot tha landlords , brings out its trtu character. It is n bill for the relief of the landlords. Urn-ing the past ten years the v.ilno of land all over Great Urituin linn fallen 15 per cent. In Ireland it has fallen tx great deal nore : than this , boycotts to depress - press rents are tnlsinft the place nf evictions to raise routs. The sentiment is growing that tlio mass of IrUh landlords paid noth- lui : for this property to begin with nnd have paid nothing 1'or Its ininrovomcjit , and that those lands of right balong to tlio Irish peo- plo. The LJjlfour act Is therefore an at tempt to transfer nncorl'iln ' claims upon the Irish tenants into certain claims upon the English government.

A majority Of the boJy Is 103. This can bo attained by n coalition of the center ollhor with the two conservative parlies or with the two "llbornl" parties , or with the frol- smnlgo or socialists. A union with tlio fral sianlgo and democrats falli 13 short of n majority. The old cartel counts 133 mem bers , and would require , therefore , the sup port of almost the entire frolslnnlgo group to retain jiowor. This lins bcon thought of by aomo organs of the mlildlo parties , but moots with small favor among cither ultraconservatives servatives or liberals. It is not probable that any group of parties can secure a majority without the centro , so thnt If it remains mains united It is tnnstor of the situation. Its obvious Interest demands union , nml In loader , \Vindhot-st , Is among tlio ablest men In parliamentary life. In former times this party has had Its price , nnd no doubt wilt have It now. It is the general opinion hero that the conservatives will pay a larger price In concessions to tlio Catholics than the liberals will bo disposed to do , ami thnt Iho government will thus procure a stonily , though denrly bought support. Hilt , on tlio other hand , the majority of Uathollo voters would prefer to go With the liberals In their foreign nnd llnnnolnl policy , and they share with the laborers a healthy dread of the gov ernment's social legislation. Neither Catho lic nor other laborers want tnoro of this paternal , but meddlesome , policy. Tlmnues- tlon on which the grouping of partlo. * In the next reichstog really hnnps is whether the leaders of tlio centre , to secure these social and political gains , will lower their demands in clurch | affairs to a point where liberals can meet them without sacrificing their own support. Hence , it is with some bltlur truth that Windhorst Inn been called the "king" of the present releasing. * The wisest nnd sWowdest observers of old world political and economic conditions have differed widely with regard to the real cnujo of the astonishing growth during recent years of German socialism , but that reason which da's been most frequently , anil with the greatest probability , assigned for it , is the commonly reported ulways great and always growing dutestatioi' of the hsavy burdens which military ruio imposes upou the whole population. It is represented that the discontent of tno German masses with the ever Increasing tyranny of sword and gun is shaping itself into eventual revolt under the standard of socialism. 1 heso people ple , whoso intelligence is so great , who nro essentially a nation of thinkers , have naked themselves if military strength ati'l prestige are worth the dire priva tion they suffer , and in HiilTuriug , pay for them. This discontent the emperor is trying to remove by suggestions of pater nal reforms , some of winch arc in their na ture as socialistic as anything that tLo social leaders have dreamed or schemed. The kaiser warily proposes to light communistic socialism with socialism after a pattern of his own , and hcuco the labor rescripts , nnd the international conference. The increase of the socialist vote was not stayed at the latu elections by the emperor's plans , but so long as the present system of hi3 government endures ho has nothing to fear. 1'art.v pro portions in" the reichstng may change , but the emperor nnd most of tlio political machin ery of the empire .will remain undisturbed. The restraining power of the political vole of socialistic ulaus , or of Iho popular will , is the emperor's , and only revolution can divest him of it. * * \ \ ith the exception of Switxorlnnd , nnd of the I'otty Djiiubiun stales , tlioro is not n power in Kuropi ) that can nfford to remain indifferent to the Dark Continent , which seems destined to remain for some time longer n vexed question In international poli tics.

Itn ' subjects King ly's con trol of Abyssinia is regarded with great dis favor by Uuosin , which had devoted much treasure and labor to the acquisition of n religious nnd political foothold in the coun try. Frequent diltoroncos tnlco place be tween Franco and King Leopold on tlio sub ject of their respective settlements on the Congo. It is well known in London that the headquarters of tlio anti-English nsitn- tion among the Boors in South Africa are at Amsterdam ; and Ilnnlly Morocco , where the authority of the sultan bus been undermined und the outlook is ominous , bids fair to be come at no distant date n serious bonu of contention between the governments of Paris and of Madrid. * * The curse of Latin America , over slnco its revolution from European domination oariy in the present century , lias boon Iho doc trine of state rights. The revolutions in Mexico , in tlio former confederation of Cen tral America , in the former confederation of Columbia , In the provinces of the La Plata , in thu Porn-Hollvinn confederation , have been the logical outgrowth of thnt double andjoften'conllicting allegiance to the state nnd to the nation. To apply this doctrine , the general use of the state ami national custom houses anil p3.itonL cs side by sldo and of equal authority wns introduceij. The natural consequence was ultimately an tinned conllict , which unsettled lioth ntnto nml federal authority. Within tliu last twenty years the atato of lluonos Ayroa rcstsU-d the Argentine government by armed force in the very suburb * of Hnenos Ayrea : the Columbian govern ment has had to use us army to supprous atato rights in sovural of the United States of Colombia ; and on several occasions smco the overthrow of Maximilian the Mexican government Ims had to' do the saino tiling , The confederations of .Central Anu-rlca and of Colombia ( Now Granada , Vanvz'joln and Ecuador ) were dissolved by tlio Btato righU doctrine ; the Poru-llolivln con federation formed by General Santa Cruz llfty live years ago was oven less lung lived. Wo now learn that tlit sainn 111-omuncd idea of ultra state rights seems to bo gaining foothold in Iirn7.il. What ttio result will Ho can bo Judged by the unvarying experience of other American nations during the past seventy yours. However li.ul may bo thu financial outlook of llruzil nt tlih Juncture , it cannot bit more ominous than ttio accoptnuco of the doctrine of state rights. , - a - - lltHt IIS Of Ul ( | .
