Political Topics. —Biaine will stump Ohio for the Re- publicans. —John Sherman thinks the Democrats may take up Hancook again next year. —Cleveland's best friends say that he no longer has a chance for the Presidency. —The Chioago Democrats are moving to seoure the next Democratic National Con- vention. Ex-Speaker Keifer, despite the Demo- cratic enthusiasm, prediots a Republican victory in Ohio. —Gen. Sherman on the Republican tick- et and Gen. McOlellan on the other, is one of the prophecies. —All the Republican county conven- tions so far held, in Iowa, fourteen in num- ber, have declared for prohibition. —The Her aid's Columbus special says: Judge Hoadly threatens to withdraw from the Ohio Democratic state ticket unless the management of the campaign is taken out of the hands of his opponents. —The Democratic state committee of Ohio has deposed John G. Thompson from the chairmanship Qf that body, and elected an unknown man to the place. The change is good for 10,000 votes for Foraker. —Senator Dawes being asked what was the leading political issue in Massachusetts, replied: \Butler!\ \What other issues are there ?\ continued the reporter. \Butler I 1 responded the senator. \The whole ques- tion is whether Butler will be continued in the governorship or not.\ In speaking of the probable result that would follow - Butler's re-election, Senator Dawes said: •'You can put it down as certain that if he is re-elected he will be the Democratic nominee for president in 1884.\ —The Democracy is in danger of being smothered with admonitions as to how it must deal with the tariff issue in the next National campaign. -The Louisville Courier- Journal gives the latest advice on the sub- ject It believeB that \the Democrats muBt handle the discussion aggressively, else better that it be not touched at all.\ Well, now, General Hancock thought he handled.the thing \aggressively but it exploded and he has been sorry ever since that he touched it. Mr. Watterson ought to be old enough to know better than to advise his party friends to kick dynamite. —The Ohio Democrats, after nominating • Jndge iloadly for Governor, named John O. Warwick for Lieutenant Governor, Martin D. Follett for Supreme Judge (short term,) Selwin Oliver for Supreme Judge (long term,) John G. Cruikshanfe for Su- preme Court Clerk, James Lawrence for attorney General, Erail Keisweiter for Auditor, Peter Brady for Treasurer. The platform declares the party in favor of a tariff for revenue limited to the necessities of government, economically administered, and to adjusted in application as to prevent unequal burdens, encourage productive in- dustries at home, afford a just compen- sation to labor, but not to create or foster monopolies; opposes Bumptoary legislation opposes contract prison labor, and de- . mands a thorough reform of the Civil Service, first by a ohange in administra- tion. The Internal Revenue Districts. The President issued an executive order on Monday afternoon promulgating the changes made in the internal revenue col- lection districts in accordance with the action taken by Congress at the last session The order is to take effect July 1st or as soon thereafter as practicable. The num- ber of districts is reduced from 126 to 80. The annual saving in salaries will amount to about f 200,000. , Under the new arrangement the twelfth district of this SUte, comprising the coun- ties of Columbia, Dutchess, Putnam, and Westchester, (excepting the county of Rockland, which is on the west side of the Hudson river) is consolidated with the fifteenth district, oomposed of the counties of Rensselaer, Washington, Warren, Essex and Clinton, with James S. Smart as col- lector. The new district is designated the .fifteenth district. This gives Mr. Smart 4]ift appointment of eight additional deputy collectors, and increases the collections to about $700,000 annually, the present col lections averaging about 9300,000. Washington Topics. —The New\ York Times' Washington *• special says it is rumored that Internal Revenue Commissioner Evans will be re- •tnoved. —Gen. Crook has been ordered to Wash- ington to consult with the Secretary of War regarding the final disposition of the captured Apaches. —It is stated that after the President had finished the work on the plan for the re- duction of the number of the internal revenue districts, forty-four had been out off. The present number is 126. —The National Board of Health has or- ganized by electing the following officers: President, Dr. James L. Cabell of Virginia; vice president, Dr. Stephen Smith of New York; Secretary George E. Warign, Jr., of Rhode Island. Sinking of'the Waitara. LONDON, June 24.—The British passenger vessels Hurunui and Waitara belonging to the New Zealand shipping company oame in collision off Portland Friday night. The Waitara sank in two minutes and 25 persons were drowned. The Hurunui im- mediately launched boats and rescued 16 persons, including a saloon passenger to whom a Bailor who was saved had given up MB life belt. Two other saloon passengers were also saved. All the second-class and steerage passengers were lost. The captain of the Waitara was dragged aboard the the Hurunui with the aid of ropes. The two vessels left London together Friday. The Hurunui struck the Waitara end on just in front of the saloon on the starboard Bide. The survivors state that no crash was heard but the side of the Waitara gave away, like cardboard. They say that more of the passengers might have been save' bad a bark and a steamer which were seei near by heeded the Waitara's signals o: distress. The Waitara was an iron ship of 833 tons, built in 1863. The Hurunui was also an iron ship. Among the Politicians. Harmony Desired by the Republicans of till* State-All Shades o f Party Feeling to be United in the State Con- vention—Who may be Nominated. Corr. of the New Yorfc Times. .ALBANY, June 23.—The Republican poli- ticians who have visited the capital since the adjournment of the legislature report that Republicans throughout the State express a desire for harmony, and all factions seem ready to unite if a good ticket is nominated y a convention which will be considered representative of the true party feeling and be free from machine practices and disgrace- ful scenes, such as were witnessed at Sara- oga last September. It is understood here that President Ar-i thur and ex-Gov. Cornell, who represent the two factions which figured in the Saratoga contest,have reached an understanding about the campaign, and their forces will act to- gether in the interests of harmony. A prom- inent politician who has just been here says the programme agreed upon embraces an early convention, called so as to include all hades of Republicans. Orders will be giv- sn, it is said, to the machine workers in the jities, who have become especially obnox- ious to the independent voters, to keep in the background and allow the election of new men as delegates to the convention. In New York city, it is believed, the scheme adopted by the central committee will re- move all dissatisfaction and secure a good set of delegates. A State convention chosen in this\ manner, the managers think, will do its work in a way thoroughly acceptable to the rank and file, and the party will enter upon the canvass with bright prospects. Gov. Cornell would be the next chairman of the State committee, but as the rumors of his senatorial aspirations began to circulate this idea was dropped. It is now said that the Hon. Silas B. Dutcher, ex-superintend- ent of public works, has been accepted as the most available man. He is an indefa- tigable worker, a splendid organizer, and enjoys at present the good-will of the dif- ferent factions. It seems to be taken for granted that the present Republican State officers—Secretary of State Carr, Comptroller Davenport, At- torney-General Russell and State Engineer and Surveyor Seymour will be renominated. None of them will make a canvass for the honor, and none will refuse to go on the ticket if the convention desires it. Mr. Da- venport's friends feared at one time that the condition of his health would require him abroad next winter, and thus prevent his being a candidate. He has, however, gained strength steadily during the spring, and his consent to stand for a second term con now be obtained. Gen. Carr, Judge Russell and Mr. Seymour will, it is believ- ed, give rather a more hearty appearance to the renomination than Mr. Davenport. Of course, the talk about the old ticket does not include Gen. James W. Husted, the defeat- ed candidate for State Treasurer in 1881. If one who has great personal strength and popularity and has not figured in the recent party squabbles can be secured, he will bring many votes to the ticket. Only a few names have yet been mentioned for the position. Ex-Senator Stephen H. Wendover of Co- lumbia county, one of Mr. Conkling's spar- tan band in 1881, is said to want the honor, and Senator Edmund L. Pitts of Orleans county is also reported in the field. He has served two terms in the Senate from the Monroe-Orleans district, and this year Mon- roe county claims the right to select the sen- ator, leaving Mr. Pitts out in the cold. Wayne county has a candidate in the person of Pliny Sexton, a banker. A proposition to put ex-Assemblyman Henry L. Sp'rague, of New York, who was defrauded of his seat by-the Democratic legislature, on the State ticket for treasurer meets with considerable favor among young Republicans. Western Correspondence. A Kansas Tornado. MANHATTAN, KAN., June 1$, 1883. MB. EDITOB:—-Our beautiful city was visited a week ago by a violent tornado, which developed one of its streaks into a cyclone; this is very evident from the dam- age done. A portion of the city was visited by a wind sufficiently strong to un- roof buildings and blowing others down, and blowing large Btrong trees down; it out a swath through the woods, tearing and upsetting huge trees. I saw one tree, at least thirty inches in diameter, prostrated in a yard. Where trees suffered the houses escaped, but where no such protection was afforded the house had to go. From what information I can obtain the storm was general through the entire State. My board- ing house, a stone one, rocked like a cradle, shaking plaster from the ceiling. I had to stand firmly holding the window from blowing in, and listen to the cracking sounds of the quaking roof. The storm, like all Kansas storms, came about 11 o'clock at night Any one who has read Holmes' \September Gale,\ will get a clear idea of the preliminary proceedings of this storm. A light shower came first. Then came the darkest night I ever perceived. The very darkness was overawing; the brightest, sharpest, and fastest lightning flashes interrupted the dread darkness with only lightning's own rapidity. The thun- der was hushed by the loud and angry roar- ing of the coming storm. It filled my room with suffocating dust, through the unavoid- able air passages around the windows—up- stairs at that. Its very audacity and fierceness made it sublime. Think of its breaking a stable door open and pressing brick walls in three directions over two rods from their base, literally breaking the walls off and hurling the upper part indig- nantly over the ground. It did all this, and removed the roof about 400 feet from the barn, and not even scratched a horse which was in the stable, evidently an eye witness; but as I saw the storm no need of an interview. In our house a little girl and her mother are lying at the point of death from the effects of a falling house. The tin roof of the mill was blown aoross the street and the rain poured all through the flour, saw the debris of a carriage shop, it pre- sented a conglomeration of timber, stone, lime, wheels, in faot everything; it was a confused mass. Manhattan, as your read- ers are aware, is walled by nature and did not suffer as badly as the country. One man's stable was utterly demolished, but himself and his horses escaped unhurt; he was sleeping in the stable. The walls of a house gave way and one corner of the roof rested on the organ, and the other corner on a sorghum barrel, keep- ing it enough for the family to live under it. Another stable was razed, and in the morning a hen was found setting among the ruins. A cow Bhed which was expected to fall, any time, of its own weakness, stood triumphantly through the storm, bu1 a strongly built poultry house, not a yard from the shed was completely smashed. I have just received two papers from the western part of the State, and find the storm about as it was here. In Ellinwood it took a stable away and no trace of it has been found. Near Great Bend a large barn was picked up and soattered for miles over the prairie. I will not try to give any inci- dental or itemized list of wrecks, they would fill your paper. Yours respectfully, D. P. BAEBY. Pauper Immigrants. John Barry, member of Parliament foi Wexford, visited the pauper immigrants ai Castle Garden on Monday afternoon. H< expressed strong disapproval of the actio: of the British government in throwing such a large number of non-productive people on the charity of the State of New York. He was shocked at the squalid misery that oame under his observation. There ar< ,100 of these people In the garden. The Hop Movement. There appears to be a revival in the de- mand, and this has tended to check for the time being, at least, the downward ten- dency which has prevailed for some weeks ast. This may be accounted for in the fact that Hops now cost about the same as substitutes, and in view of the anticipated atmosphere, brewers prefer using Hops to a mixture of drugs. Much attention is now being paid to the appearance of the vines in various parts of the State, which doubtless has now some bearing on the market for Hops. The Cooperstown Freeman's Journal of Saturday prints the following: During the past week, from different localities in Ot- segb and other counties of the great Hop District of this State, have come numerous complaints in regard to the bad appearance f the growing vine. Entire yards are not ffected, as incase of blight, but many hills are; the vine stops running, shrivels up, and the leaves curl and turn dark. Is it the result of the sting of a large fly that has made its appearance, or a grub at the root ? Some growers think it is caused by the too free use of phosphate in some of the hills; this we doubt. To a limited xtent, in a few yards, the same thing ap- peared last year, where no phosphate had >een applied;' and some yards, where it has been freely used this year, are looking well. Some of our correspondents, and exchanges published in the Hop District, allude to this disease of the vine; others report their yards as never looking better; the growth of the vine in good yards has been unprecedented during the late warm rainy weather. The market is very unsettled in the country and it is difficult to give quotations. The reports in regard to the vine have tended to check the \scare and holders jf '82 hops are firmer in their views. Since our last issue a few lots have been sold in this county at 45 to 50 cents. One lot of about 60 bales '8Fs at 32 cents. Inquiries from dealers and brewers are daily received, showing that hops are needed by manu- facturers. It is hoped that all the hops now unsold may pass out of first hands at good prices before the next crop comes on the market, for the reports from the Pacific Slope and from Europe are favorable to a large yield. A week hence it may be differ- ent—so sudden are the changes in the ap- pearance of the vine. A New York city dealer who is in the country taking personal observations of the growing crop in this State in part cor- roborates the above when he says: \That in the largest sections appearances are not so favorable as at the corresponding date last year. The growth of vine is repre- sented as very uneven, with a great deal that looks poor for both quantity and quality of hops.\ This is not \gush\ from growers, and is entitled to more credence than the general run of crop re- ports. In regard to business in New York we find nothing new. Sales are moderate and mainly in small lots, with 40@42 for about the best grades. The Coinage of Silver Dollars. What the Outcome Will be if i t is Soon Stopped. The New York Independent of last week contains the following sensible comments on this subject: Secretary Sherman, when preparing for the resumption of specie payments, accu- mulated in the Treasury, mainly by the Is- sue and sale of Government bonds, what he deemed an adequate gold reserve for the purpose of redeeming all the legal-tender notes that should be presented. The reserve thus accumulated proved to be abundantly sufficient. Not only was there no drain of this reserve, but it gradually increased. On the 1st of December, 1881, this re- serve amounted to $178,225,303, against which there wese $5,199,620 in outstanding gold certificates, which left« net balance of gold owned by the Government to the amount of $173,025,683. On the 1st of Febrnary,1883. this reserve had fallen to $125,648,194, showing a decrease between the two periods amounting to $47,377,489. While the gold reserve has been decreasing the silver dollars held in the Treasury have been constantly increasing. The same causes which have brought about both changes are still operating; and if they are kept in action they will ultimately deplete the Treasury of nearly all its gold and put silver dollars in their place. Toward this point the Treasury of the United States, under the policy forced upon it by bad legislation, is moving with the inevitable- ness of fate. There is no escape from the result under the laws as they now exist. The consequence at last will be that gold will disappear in the country, or, so far as it remains in the country, circulate at a premium, just as it did during the suspen- sion of specie payment, and that silver dol- lars will be the standard of value, and all oar paper circulation will be brought down to this standard: The country is steadily drifting toward this condition, and if the coinage of silver dollars is continued, the condition will become real in the not dis- tant future, and that, too, with as much certainty as the ebb and flow of the tide, or the rising and setting of the sun. When it does become real, the people will find out by a sad experience what this silver mania means. It will be dearly bought wisdom. The attempt to palm off a sham dollar as a genuine dollar will prove a costly experi- ment, r 41 Commencing this Week I HUGH KEN RICK'S WILL: The Story of a Posy Ring.
