Tho roport of tho tonomont lionso

ity loads to tho inovitablo conclusion
that tho big town by tho sea uoods a
tremendous, roaring, great flro ovon

and that is saying much. Tho report is
tho rovorso of nppotizing, and its road-

Free Seed Distribution.
Hon. J. Sterling Morton, secretary of
ngrioulturo, thinks tho froo soed distri
bution undertaken by tho United States
govornmont costs too much for tho ben
efit it confers, mid no doubt it docs.
Last yoar 9,656,318 packages of seed
were scattered to thoir constituents by
sonators and representatives. Mr. Mor
ton says that all oxcopt ono-tonth of
thoso contained flower and vegotablo
seeds, and woro thus of comparatively
littlovaluo to tho groat wheat, corn and
cotton farmors of tho country.
In 1839 congross appropriated $1,000
for collecting and distributing "raro and
important variotios of seed," prosecut
ing agricultural investigations and get
ting farm statistics. Tho modest $1,000
thus covered tho whole agricultural
bureau. Last year tho appropriations for
distributing soods and farmers' bulletins
alono amounted to-$177,030. Thirty
thousand dollars was tho amount allow
ed for tho bulletins.
In view of tho prosent wasteful and
inefficient methods of soed distribution,
thoroforo tho secretary proposos a
change. Ho has caused to bo draf tod and
placed boforo congross a bill to rolegato
tho seod distribution to tho state agri
cultural stations. If theso always did
thoir duty, tho proposed method would
bo much bettor than tho old one.

Light always doos come to thoso who
stand truo to thoir responsibilities and
conscientiously seek tho light. As It is,
it will go down in history that Casiruir
Perior, president of France, showod tho
wliito feather through fear of thu Radi
oals and Socialists. Had he been play-
jug directly into tho hands of the Radi
oals and Sooialists ho oould not have
dono them a greater favor than by ton
daring his resignation. In any enso ho
could havo died game, and tho world
would have at least respoeted him. As
it is, tho vordiat of both the prosent and
future will be that of the deputy who
shouted, when tho president's lotter of
resignation was read, "It is a dosortiou
of tho republic," As his friends say,
"Why oould ho not have naked tho sen
ate to dissolve tho chamber mid rely up
on the verdict of tho country?" And,
after all, the election of Fauro, moder
ate Republican, to snccood him shows
that he got frightened and lost his head
for nothing.

dotalls of tho loss of tho North Gorman
Lloyd steamship E-llw and lior human
freight aro being discussed horo by crowds
of pooplo gathered at different places
whoro tho survivors remain, although n
regular blizzard is blowing at prosont,
and under ordinary clrcumstuncos Very
few pooplo would hnvo ventured out of
doors.
A handful of tho survivors, who woro
clustored around a hotol flro, Indulged in
tho most bitter criticism of tho ship which
mmineil nml sunk tho Elbo. Thoy all
claim that sho should havo stood by tho
Elbo, and that If sho had dono so a groat
many lives would have been saved. This,
of courso. Is a matter which cannot bo no
cidod until all tho facts in tho case aro
brought to light by tho court of inquiry
which wilUnnuIro Into tho mattor.
Tho explanation given by the surviving
officers as to tho proportion of tho crow
saved to tho numbor of passongors saved
Is as follows: Thoso orders wero given by
tho olllccrs of the Elbo: Tho ohildron woro
to bo savod first and then tho womon, and
thoy wero to bo placed in tho boats on tho
starboard side, where tho womon anucnu-
dron wero told to cathor. But almost im
mediately after thoso ordors had boon
oboyod tho Elbo listed heavily to star
board, nnd tho soas swept over tho promo-
nado dook so that tho starboard boats wero
rendered useless.
Tho boat which brought tho survivors
nway was ono of tho port boats and -was
tho last to loavo tho ship. Acting upon
tho ordors of Captain Van Goessol, Third
Officer Stollborgnnd tho pursor, who woro
in chargo of this boat, took their scats in-
sldo of her and thon, whon tho water was
creeping over tho dock, it was a rush tor
tho boat and anybody who could got into
It did so.
Tho following statement of tho disaster
was officially given to tho Associated
Press correspondent by tho German vlco
consul, Herr Bradbocr, and was corrected
by him. Tho statement was mado oftor
questioning tho officers and crow:
"Tho collision occurred forty-five miles
from Morscholllng lightship. Though both
tho Elbo and tho colliding Btcamor wero
uolnc full steam ahead, tho concussion
was vory slight. Immediately nftor tho
collision tho Elbo began to settlodown
stern first, her bow mounting high Into
the air and rendering It Impossible to
reach somo of tho boats. As everybody
crowded up on deck Immediately after tho
shock, and In a stnto of grca alarm, it
was impossible tor tho ordors ot tno cap
tain,, who was standing on tho brldgo,
that tho women nnd children should bo
saved first, could bo oboyed.
'A rush was made for the boats that
wero accessible. Tho first boat to touch tho
water was immediately swamped, and tho
passongors who had crowded Into it woro
drowned. Tho second boat launched was
lost sight of in tho high soa which vas
running; but It is feared that sho cap
sized.
Into tho third boat.nt tho last momont,
When tho water was up to tho promenado
deck, tho vessel sinking under their root,
and two minutes boforo sho disappeared,
there crowded nlnotcen men, tho women
nnd children having rushed to tho other
sldo, owing, it is said, to tho command
that they should getjnto tho boats thoro.
This third boat pulled away from tho
itiip, and In so doing soon afterwards
passed a woman passenger, Miss Anna
Bueckor, who clung to tno gunwale or stuo
of tho lifeboat. Somo tlmo olnpscd before
sho could bo pulled Into tho boat.
"Aftor tho collision an unknown steamer
Dossed under tho storn of tho Elbo, nnd
proceodod on her courso without paying
any hood to tho shrieks of tho pooplo on
board tho sinking stoamor."
Inqulrios woro tolcgraphou to all tho
coast stations between Cromer and East
Bourno os to whether any wreckage from
tho Elbo had been seen. Replies havo been
received from all tho stations, and thoy
are of tho samo unvarying tenor. Noth
ing has boen discovered. Fifteen fishing
smacks, which sailed over tho scono of tho
disaster, havo returned. Thoy roport that
thoy saw nothing to Indicate that a steamor
hod been lost.

of tho steamer Crathlo, which ran down
tho Elbe, said in an interviow: "Aftor tho

but we wero unable to soo any signs of tho

Origin of the Cue.
"It is to tho Tnrtnrs who conquered

''You hear n great deal about the laws of
China relating to tho wearing of cues
how a Chinaman cannot return to his
country without his cuo, nnd all that,
Well, It's all bosh. Tho wearing of a cuo
is no more required bylaw than your gen

nnd a stylo, and a Chinaman renllzos somo
tnth in tho saying thnt you might as
well bo out of tho earth as out of style. A

that tho Chinaman should hold to his cue
with such tenacity when it was originally
imposed upon him as a mark of subjoo
tion. When the Tartars camo ovor and sot
n rulor on our throne, thoy docreod that
evory Chinaman should wear h cue such
as thoy did. Of courso this was at first
galling to them, for they could not soo or
touch their plaited hair without being re
mlndod of their conquest. But tlmo heals
all wounds, and it was sot long beforu the
Chlnnmon began to cherish tho mark of
subjection as a good fashion or style. This

The Kind that'Ourcs
REV. K. T. JAQJJAY, the
pastor of ' M. E. Church at
FERDINAND, Erie Co., Pa.,
certifies to his CURE of Dyspepsia
by DANA'S Sarsaparilln. That
it was indeed a CURE, and not
temporary relief, his words below
will show.
"I was troubled with Dyspepsia,
and in vain sought aid from phy
sicians. Took any amount of all
kinds of medicine, without benefit ;
only temporary at mos't. I could
not take even the lightest food
without suffering. I was influ
enced to try your Sarsaparilla
(DANA'S). I began to feel
better with its use-, and now, after

I refrained from writing lest it
should return again j now I am
confident. I am happy to lend
my name and influence to help
others to be CURED as I was."
