The wind has made lots of work. All well-informed people at Washing ton—and throughout the country for that matter—are practically sure that the sil ver-purchase act will be repealed; that the repeal is only a question of time. It would, if the Interests of the country were to govern the matter, be a very short time. But tho Senate, with char acteristic tardiness, appears disposed to dawdle as long as possible. With the people, especially at present, time is a very serious consideration; yet the sena tors are talking about a two weeks’ de bate. Congressman “Champ” Clark, of Mis souri, says it makes him sick to hear “all this talk about the country going to wreck and ruin in case congress does or does not . certain things." “Champ” ought to tell that to some of his colleagues from Mis souri in the House, and get sick right be fore them if necessary to creato an im pression. He might begin with the Hon. Richard P. Bland, the silver champion who has had the country going to wreck and ruin for many years. When he shall have convinced Bland he will be told who next to tackle. It is said that this congress will change the form of a largo number of appropri ation bills from permanent to annual ap propriations. The object is to give con gress absolute charge of all appropri ations, with a view to effecting a saving ■wherever possible. It is further said that the House, at tho regular session, will dispose of all appropriation bills be fore June 30, 1894. It is hardly probable, however, that the permanent appropri ations to be changed will be those for the more important public works, where tho efficiency of and economy in the work de mands a certainty, and not a probability, upon which to proceed. The campaign in Kansas for the woman’s suffrage amendment to the con stitution will be begun during the latter part of this week. The first boom will be let off at a big equal suffrage mass meet ing at Kansas City, Kan., just across the river from the Kansas City in Missouri. Among the speakers will bo Susan B. Anthony, Helen M. Congar, Mary E. Lease and other women of almost equal notoriety, together with a few men. The leaders of the movement say they are going to make the greatest crusade for woman’s emancipation and enfranchise ment that has ever been made in this or any other country. It is pretty safe to say that the campaign will be lively; all Kansas political fights are. If Gov. Waite should conclude shortly that the time had arrived for him to set out on his blood-wading crusade against the east he could not dei>ond upon tho Kansas military to aid him. For the array of Kansas is “in the soup,’’ temporarily; it is without a competent head. Adju tant-General W. J. V. Deacon is in bed, oovered with arnica courtplaster and with a head full of aches as a result of his latest military efforts. The other day he went down to Wichita to review the troops and get them in good trim to shoot republican legislators next winter. He had never reviewed troops before, but in asmuch ns lie had a mortgage on his farm and hated the monopolistic cast, Gov. Le welling had confidence in him. Arriv ing' at Wichita the gallant officer buckled on his sword and started to the parade ground. On the way he encountered a drug store—they cull them dispensaries in South Carolina and we call them bar rooms :n Georgia—and went in “to see a man. " Further along he ran across other drug stores and other ‘ men," until he was glorious. With his sword tangled with his legs he plunged among the militiamen, inflicting grievous contusions and bruises ujxm himself and others. And when he came to mount he did not stop at the saddle at all, but kept on over the horse and smote the earth with his nose. Tiirice did he essay to mount, with simi lar results; then they took him off on a stretcher and the review was abandoned. Thus, for the time, tho east is safe. Standing in Their Own Light. It is difficult to understand how any reasonable man can believe that the hanks in the southern states are refusing to advance money to move the cotton crop in order to puui.sh those farmers who arc sqpi>osed to favor the free coin age of silver, and yet Alliance Ijocturer, Dr. .1. Wiiliam Stokes, in a letter ad dressed to the alliance of South Carolina, insinuates that such is the case. Dr. Stokes doas not advance a single fact to support his insinuation Ho asks whether the lianks have made the usual effort to advance the money needed for moving the crop, and if they have not he wants to know why they have not. Shaking of the bankers and cotton buyers, ho says: “The apparent a’path.v of these people, while their former cus tomers are surely drifting towards an awful tragedy, and are almost on its brink, is something inexplicable. Can it be that the farmers in their estimation have been making too much racket in their efforts to secure just treatment of the financial world?" Every thinking farmer who reads Dr. Stokes’ letter must wonder how it is that any man could have put his trust in Dr. Stokes and regarded him as a safe leader to follow. Admitting that Dr. Stokes is sincere does it not appear that he is so wholly uninformed respecting the,financial situation that he is not a fit roan to give advice to the people? Every man who keeps himself informed knows that the banks are ready and willing to do all they can towards furnishing money with which to move the cotton crop. Long ago they gave notice that unless there was a restoration of confi dence and the money market became easier they would not be able to provide the money needed for handling the cotton crop. This, Dr. Stokes knew, or ought to have known, before he wrote his letter insinuating that the banks had entered into a conspiracy' to punish the farmers for favoring free silver coinage. That the banks have formed no conspi racy is shown by the fact that a very large number of them have failed, and by the further fact that by withholding money they would fail to make a profit out of their business. Instead of punish ing the farmers, therefore, they would punish themselves. The reason the banks are not furnish ing all the money' demandod of them is that they haven't it. Depositors in the south as well as in tho north have with drawn their deposits, and, as a conse quence the banks are not in a condition to respond to the demands upon them to the extent they have been ac customed to do. The southern banks at the beginning of the cotton sea son have always obtainod large amounts of currency' from New York. They have not been able to do that this year, be cause the northern banks haven’t any more money than they need for their own Immediate use. Is it not about time for the farmers to inquire whether such men as Dr. Stokes are safe leaders * Are they not standing' in their own light by allowing them selves to be guided by such men? Has, Dr. Stokes ever said or done one single thing that has benefited tho farmers? It is safe to say he has not. What he says about the bankers is misleading, and calculated to mako the farmers discontented. Those of them who take the trouble to think for themselves are not influenced by such utterances as those of Dr. Stokes. If all of them would think more the occupation of Dr. Stokes and other teachers like him would be gone. Save the Trees- There appears to be a disposition among certain people throughout the city to de stroy every tree that was even tilted by the wind. As early as seven o'clock yes terday morning a number of persons— and not under direction of the street de partment, either—were observed to Ik? cutting leaning trees and piling the boles and limbs in their yards to be used as fire wood. Many of these trees could have been saved. There are still othors that may yet be attacked if steps are not at once taken to preserve them. At the ex pense of a few dollars a number of the trees could be set straight and given a new lease of their lives of use and beauty. Should they be destroyed, it would re quire years of time for them to Ije re placed. The city authorities should make it their business to-day—this morning—to see about the trees and take steps to save every one possible. With blocks and tackle, and a careful manipulation of the roots with spades, probably more than one-half of the number of the trees blown over could be righted; and that at a cost less than would be the cost of chopping them down. Very few people would be needed in the work of rescue; most of the trees would stand alone and take fresh root and flourish again if given a chance. Yesterday it appeared to be the order to slash and chop everything that invited chopping; and fine trees that could have been saved were ruthlessly sacrificed— many of them young and vigorous and others of splendid growth. Twenty years or more may be required to replace the trees needlessly destroyed yesterday. Lot the destruction stop instantly. The Moknino News succeeded in get ting a few dispatches last night by way of Jacksonville. The wire was so crowded with other matter, however, that very little could be done in the way of getting telegraphic news. In a day or two the wires will be in working order and the Morning News will then bo in receipt again of its splendid telegraphic news service. Taking into consideration the compara tive amounts of property and the num bers of lives endangered, the storm which swept over this city and vicinity Sunday night was more destructive than the storm that struck New York and Boston last week. Jacksonville is to be congratulated that she caught only an edge of thegreat storm. 11 was a rather rough edge, to be sure; but it seems that Jacksonville's blow was hardly more than a good stiff breeze as compared with Savannah's. The scheme to divide Kansas into two states is again being agitated. The great ist objection to the scheme is that under it there would be two Kausases for the incubation of cranks, whereas one is about all the country can aland. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, AUGUST 2D, IW3. Mayor McDonough Criticised. We are inclined to think the Bruns wick Times will agree, on second thought, that its tfrilkdiwn of Mayor McDonough, ‘ for asking Gov. Nortben to establish camps of detention for refugees from Brunswick, - liras unjust. Mayor McDon l"tough bad bat one object in view in mak ing the request of the governor, and that wit the good of the refugees aud the peo ple of the stat'd. He assumed that the | fever \weuld becomes'epidemic in Bruns j wick. lieeause the mayor of that city had advised ali the jieople who could get away to leave. Ami if we are not mistaken the leading official of the marine hos pital service at Brunswick gave tho hSme advice. With such authority to Support him he was certainly justified in expressing the opinion that the fever would become epidemic. If blame at taches to any body for creating a scare at Brunswick. Mayor McDonough is not the man. Believing from the advices re ceived from Brunswick that the fever would become epidemic, was not Mayor McDonough justified in asking that camps of detention be established! The people of that city were leaving by hundreds and thousands, many of them having no definite idea of their destination and many more having no means with which to support themselves after getting out of the city. Under the circumstances, was not the suggestion that camps of de tention be established a wise one? And the wisdom of the suggestion apjiears to bo all the more apparent when it is re membered that the camps would afford a place of refuge for those who had not the means to go elsewhere. If an epi- demic should occur there are very few places that would receive refugees direct from Brunswick, but a great many places w’ould be open to them after having spent a reasonable time in the camps and leav ing them with health certificates. Mayor McDonough is not responsible for the action of the people in leaving Brunswick. He only proposed a safe method of caring for them after they ,had been ad vised to leave by their own authorities. Whether that advice was good or not we do not pretend to say, though we are satisfied that those who gave it did so believing they were doing what was for the best interests of the people of Brunswick and for the city. They might he criticised for acting hastily if there should be no epidemic, but it would not be forgotten by fair minded people that if the fever had become epidemic their action, instead of being condemned, would have been commended. That Mayor McDonough deeply sympathizes with Brunswick is shown by' his liberal donation to aid those who are suffering for the necessaries of life. The House Acts the Right Way. The House yesterday stood squarely by the President and voted to repeal, uncon ditionally, the Sherman silver law, In ac cordance with his recommendation. That was the only wise thing to do. The ma jority against the free coinage of sjilver at the ratio of 16 to 1 was siightly larger than was expected by the friends of uncoftijUtional repeal. The vote on the other ratios proposed did not excite much iEterest, because it was well understood that if a majority for free silver coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1 could not be obtained, there was no possibility of obtaining a majority for free silver coinage at any other ratio. Now let the Senate act, and act promptly. That body has not seemed to appreciate fully the peril of tho couutry. The senators have already wasted a vast deal of valuable time. They have acted ns if they thought they knew a great deal more about the fiuaqj.ial condition of tho coun try than tho' people who have so much at stake. They should bo made to understand that the people have made all the sacrifices they can afford, and that they will not tolerate longer the indif ference to their interests that has been shown by the Senate. The Senate should have been ready to vote when the House was, and the fact that it was not will not be overlooked or forgotten by the peo ple. Sunday’s Storm. For years after 1881 it was a common thing for the people of this city to fix tho time of important events in their exper ience by reference to the groat storm of that year. And it was a storm that was well calculated to fix itself in the memo ries of the people of this city and vicinity. The number of lives that were lost was large, the amount of property that was destroyed was great, and there were many thrilling personal experiences, par ticularly on Tybee Island. Sunday night's storm was its fcqual in fierceness, though notin the number of lives lost. Many of those who witnessed both storms say that the one Sunday night wit; the most terrible, because the wind to bdof greater velocity. Just w hat the velocity of the wind in the storm of 1881 was is not known, because the anemometer was destroyed when the wind reached a velocity of 60 miles an hour. In Sunday night's storm the maximum velocity of the storm was 70 miles an hour, and the barometer fell lower than ever before recorded in the United States. The full damage done by the storm is not yet known, and will not be doubtless for several days. Accounts of loss oflife and property are coming in all the time. The section of country swept by the hurricane was large, and of the damage done to buildings, crops, trees and fences no satisfactory estimate can be given. It is a source of great satisfaction that Sa vannah is not visited by such storms fre quently. It would be a source of still greater satisfaction if she were wholly exempt from them. It seems that Denver is not in much of a financial pinch after all, although the most distressful cry of ha*i times heard in a month of Sundays came from Denver. A single Denver bank one day last week paid across its counterslos.oooin currency to twq depositors and another Denver bank on the same day shipped east an amount of currency almost as largo These two banks, and others there, report that money in large quantities eoutiuues to come iu to them every day. Confidence is returning to Denver, it seems, after all, without the passage of a free silver bill. THB MIDNIGHT CRASH. Thirteen Unfortunates Among the Dead Riut Far. Long Island City, Aug 2*. —The details : of the horrible accident on the ]<ong Island railroad, at Berlin, on Saturday night wore necessarily meagre, owing to | the lateness, darkness and distance from communication The loss of life, happily, [ proved to be somewhat less than at first reported, but the calamity was never theless full of fatality and terror. The I-<mg Island train was overtaken by the Manhattan Beach train, which crashed into the rear, demolishing two of the fire passenger ears comprising the forward train. At thesametime tliemiddlecar was overturned. Every person on the five cars were more or less shocked and shaken up, most of them receiving centusions, and It severely injured. awful suspense. It was more than an hour before news of the accident could be sent to any point, and the sufferings of the injured were thus greatly enhanced. When it became known, however, through a passenger who had walked to lying Island Gity, the railroad company at once hastened a relief train, with physicians, to the scene, which was an ap palling one in the extreme. Many of the killed were horribly muti lated, of whom fully two thirds were uni dentified except through personal effects or letters. Several of the wounded, too. were fearfully cut and maimed. Of the seventeen received at Si. John's hospital, two died soon after being admitted. NEGRO LYNCHED. He Had BrutaJly Murdered an Italian Roy Peddler. louisville, Ity., Aug. 23.—Between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning about thirty horsemen rode into New Castle, the county seat of Henry county, and, wak ing up the jailer, told him that he had a prisoner the horsemen wanted. They were after a negro named Leonard Tay lor. Securing their man, they took him about a quarter of a mile out on the road to Franklinton and strung him up to an oak tree. The lynching was conducted with as much order as was possible, considering the business in hand. Those who took part were evidently, repu table people, and so sure were they that they were doing it for the good of the country that they only took partial pre cautions to conceal their identity. FUK MI'UOEItING A BOY. Tile crime qI the negro was the brutal and unprovoked assault upon an Italian boy peddler. Tt Occurred a week ago at Franklinton, a little place seven or eight miles from New Castle, toward the river. The negro struck the boy over the head, fracturing the skull. He was brought to this city, and the people at Franklinton learned yesterday that he had died. AT ST. AUGUSTINE. W aves Eight Feet High Break in Upon the City. St. Augustine, Fla.. Aug., 28.—The storm approaching, of which the Morn ing News geve warning Saturday, came on in full force and lasted from the north until 10 o’clock Sunday morning, causing the ocean to break over the Anastsia island marshes and rushing to the city in waves eight feet high, which combed and broke over the sea wall. Several wharves were carried away, though the damage to shipping is slight. The wind turned to tho westward near noon, and quieted the sea, but continued in violence and the work of unroofing many houses, uprooting trees and prostrating fences. An omni bus with its driver, two passengers and the horses, was blown off the causeway into San Sebastian river. All were saved. Tho tide last night was the highest known hero. The wind luled atl sundown Sunday. It is warm aud quiet to-day. We have had no commuuication by rail or telegraph from Satur day, night, and, until noon to-day, ho wire south of here. Superin tendent Crawford, of tho Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Indian River railway repaired the wires to Jacksonville. No ives were lost. NO BABY BONDS. Unlikelihood That Atlanta Will Erect New County Buildings. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 28.—N0 action it a s taken by the special meeting of the board of county commissioners hold to-day for the purpose of considering the plans of the federation of trades to build anew court house and jail by tlio issue of a half million dollars in finny bonds, tho idea being to float thcsS bonds by issuing them as a local currency. The board listened to sjieeches by representatives of the labor organizations, who want to provide employment for the idle. But inasmuch as the recent proposition of the board, to issue a million dollars in bonds to build the court house and jail, had been repudi ate l by the pi ople after numerouscharges ol "jobbery,” it was not thought advis able to go before them again at this time, even under the recommendation of organ ized iafior. TERMS OF SETTLEMENT. Chief Arthur's Agreement in a Heavy- Damage Suit. Toledo, 0., Aug. 28. —A petition was filed in the United States circuit court in the c ase of tlieCraigil Shipbuilding Com pany against the Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan Railroad Company, which indicates the terms upon which the Ann Arbor damage suit against Chief Arthur was settled. In the language of tho petition for authority to settle, Mr. Arthur agreed to pay tho receiver the sum of #2,500, said sum including tho foe of #I,OOO to the piaintiff's counsel. Mr. Arthur also pays all the costs of the dam age suit. JOSIAH MORRIS BANK. Ita Doors Reopened Yesterday at Montgomery. Montgomery, Aug. 28.—Creditors of the extensive banking house of Josiah Morris & Cos., of this city having expressed limit less confidence nnd consented that the assignees should surrender the trust and that the hank should reopen, tho institu tion to-day resumed business in the firm’s name. Every depositor signed the agree ment. The liabilities are #1.600,000, with 'assets of $3,600,000. BAKING POWDER. _ Op#Baking iLjsPowdei: The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder,—No Ammonia; No Alum.

Aug. 28.—porter Bros., retail shoe establishment, one of the larg est and oldest in the city, was closed by the sheriff this morning under a mort gage aggregating #IO,OOO. Mortgage for £1.303.000. Cleveland. 0., Aug. 28.—The Chapin Mining Company of Milwaukee, Wis., this morning tiled a certified copy of a mortgage for #1,308,000 on its property, ore and franchises, to secure funds for the purpose of payment of labor and taxes, for the payment of royalty on ore actually mined and for the development and operation of the mine at Station Mountain, Wis. A Big Rumpus Brewing. Bangkok, Aug. 28.—The situation of affairs is very critical. The negotiations between France and Siam arc at a stand still, and no date has been fixed for a re sumption of diplomatic correspondence. Siamese commercial interests are at tacked in a vital point by the new de mands made by the French government, aud it is believed that Siam cannot assent to them. ITEMS OF INTEREST. The refuse sticks of the sugar cane can, it is said, be utilized in making paper, and a contemporary expresses astonishment that, in face of the present large production of su gar, this industry has not been developed on a practical basis. For centuries, says a scientific writer in Occultism, "the mud wasp has built its cells of soft mud; in tho bottom of these cells the female lays its minute egg. building Us mud home just the size that the young will be when grown. Before closing this mud-walled cell the wasp catches a suitable sized spider, injects into its body a fluid that causes it to remain torpid through the winter until with the warmth of re turning spring the wasp grows, consuming the spider for food, thus gaining strength to break the mud wails and emerge into the outer world a full winged insect. And yet no mud wasp from the beginning has ever seen its young.” A report is circulating in European politi cal circles that the czar will issue a ukase on Jan. 1. 1894, putting an end to the deportation of convicts to Siberia, and that on the same day the provisions of the judicial procedure act of Alexander 11., with the exception of trial by jury, are to be extended to that coun try. It has been expected that, as a result of the recent visit of the czarovltz. and in view of the construction of the trans Siberian rail way, a revolution In the government of Sibe ria would be effected, but the report of a change so radical as that suggested is re ceived with caution. The natural w ealth of Siberia makes it an ideal land for coloniza tion, for it is hy no means a region of un relieved harshness and arctic rigors as is largely supposed. Its horrors are in the con vict mines and the exile system. not in the country itself. Hut the abrogation of the sxs tem of Siberian exile would, change the whole scheme of government in Russia and while some radical change in Siberia is confidently expected in the near future, it is hardly prob able that the czar will make a move so posi tive as that. In India, says a writer in the Chicago Inter Ocean, I once witnessed a most remark able phosphoric light issue from a giant flower called by natives “bed-war.” The flower was nearly six Inches In diameter and of a deep red color, but with yellowish pet als. My attention was called to the luminous radiations of this beautiful plant by a guide, and we used to visit the garden overy morn ing two hours before sunrise to observe this fascinating spectacle. This was during the months of July and August. The light, al though most brilliant in the early morning hours, could also be discerned during twi light. but not after total darkness came on. This led me to believe that the light was not emitted fromOhe flower itself, but that it was reflected. To determine this I placed one of the flowers in a perfectly dark, that is. fight, tight room, where I knew the air to be per tectly dry, and not the faintest spark could the seen. This might have been caused by the broken stem, but lam of She opinion that the light was reliected, as it was quite in ense. and could be seen at a distance of sev eral feet. When viewed closely the petal re sembled a miniature incandescent electric lamp. An important undertaking affecting largely the industries of Maine, says the New York Sun. is that of storing the water ol the Ken nebec and its tributaries, to be used in times of drought. In various ponds and streams, thus enabling the volume of water available In a dry time, in summer or winter, to be largely increased—this to be accomplished by building dams, flowing ponds and deepening channels. It Is believed that this resort will serve the purpose in view quite satisfactorily and meet the serious difficulty of diminished ■ power arising from the disappearance of for ests on either bank of the river and tho in creased evaporation. It Is stated In connec tion with this that the river from Moosehead lake to Augusta, a distance of 112 miles, con tains many hundred water powers which would be valuable if the water could be con trolled and used when most needed. The de scent of the river from Mousehead to the tide is about 1.022 feet, the distance being 112 mites, this giving a mean descent of 9.1 feet to the mile throughout the water power por tion of the river. There are also stated tq be 152 reservoirs of the Kennebec and its tributa ries, covering 357 square miles, the total lake and pond surface contained in the Kennobec basin being not far from 450 square miles The wasp plague continues to cause great inconvenience in the neighborhood of Dover. England. A curious Incident happened re cently In a village near Sandwich. A laborer discovered a wasp's nest, and. struck with the beauty of its formation, instantly took It home and carelessly put it aside, with the ob ject of taking it to a naturalist. The nest proved to he full of eggs, which the warmth of the house developed during the night Into hundreds of wasps. When the family awoke on Sunday morning the house was swarming with wasps, and the family had to make their escape as best they could. Some of them were severely stung. A correspondent of the Newcastle Chron icle writes: It may be of value to sufferers from the present wasp plague to know the following simple and most efficacious method of destroying nests in the ground: Procure from the chemist some cyanide of po tassium, dissolve It In water (about four ounces cyanide to a quart of waterl pour a small quanity of this mixture into the mouth of the hole. The result Is marvelous. Wasps returning home enter to leave no more. Those already home re main there permanently. The work should be done quietly about midday, when most of the wasps are out. We have destroyed in the last ten days about eighteen or twenty large nests in this way with perfect success. The cya nide of potassium should, of course be handled carefully, being a deadly poison.
