The Lewis mid Clarke road, a large part of w hlch In an entirely new road, open to the city a rich and fertile sec tion of country heretofore entirely de pendent upon bout service for Its con nection with the city. All that Is now needed to give to the people of that part of the county the. fullent iH-nellt of a good riwd. la the building of a bridge acroM Young'n river at the head of the bay or the eainbllahment of a ferry line there. It m almoHt the unanimous opin ion of thimc 11114 Interested In tho mat ter, namely, the farmers and the mer chants of the city, that the bridge Is by far the preferable means of connecting the east end of the road with the city. It will cost a few dollui'M more at the outset, but the Improvement will be a permanent one, and III not require a dally outlay for Its maintenance as would a ferry. It Is with great pleasure that the mm .s of Mr. V. J. Ingnlls In securing signatures to the petition for a tax for this purpose, about to be pre sented to the county court, Is recorded. Without exception residents of the country to be served are In favor of a bridge, and yesterday with one or two exceptions every man In the city ap proached upon the subject put his name to the petition, which auks for the levy of a 2-mlll. or leas, tax to cover the coet of the bridge. One of the merchants said yesterday that it would be a very simple matter to make the bridge a toll bridge for the drat few years, and fix a small rate of toll which would soon re pay a large share of the cost of Its erection. Hut he thought that on gen eral principles, a straight 2-mlll tax would be an easy burden for both the farmers and dwellers In the city to bear. The objects to be attained are so great that the cost and trouble In com parison Is very slight. When the cost of country produce, eggs, butter, chickens, milk, potatoes, In Clatsop county "is considered, and the well known fact that the farmer, even at the present high prices, makes little or no prollt on his wares, Is also figured in the calculation, every voter In this county and city should use his best endeavors and spend his tax money for the Improvement of roads and the building of bridges. The magnificent macadamized country thoroughfares of New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia, over which one can drive for miles In any kind of weather, at a good rate of speed, and find his cattle In good condition at the end of a thirty of forty mile trip, speak volumes in fa vor of movements now on foot In the West. Germany, Franco and England long ago realized tho Importance of having first-class roads. Everywhere and In every direction one can spin along through those countries, past beautiful country resiliences, fine or chards, cozy farm housta and cottages, and can see the results to both farmer and dweller In- the city of these roads. ProdiH-e Is cheap, and yet the farmer In ni'oit Instances rctvi a fair rcimini r-atli-n for bis loll, 'it la the i.-unc und 'luleknera with which prodm-la can be marketed that render n profit, and pro ill does not mean excessively high prices on mi. at artlih-a produce I fnm ilio farm In this county. When the far mr inn put his atulT Into the hands of Hot consumer In a few hours' time and w ithout the risk of Killing hla team and breaking up hla watfun every time be goes to tow n, and can bilng bin k his slires and machinery at little cost for traiiKixirtallon, he can iifTord to sell hla produce at a ch'-aper rate and still be rh'hr thun under prevailing condi tions. , There la no more Ininorliint ui.rU r,.r thif people of Clatsop county than that of building gfx.d county road. And next to the railroad Itself, the citizens of Astoria can no mole pn.nubly spent their Money than In aiding In thla road ora. C 'IltAr0 HKIH'liLICA.VH They Slund by I'rotw ilm und Interna tional lil-lneUlllsm. Colorado Springs, Cd., Kept 3 '.Seven huudnsj delegates .were present when the Ilepubllcan state convention met to day. The convention waa harmonious and the ticket was Boinlnated by unan imous vole. The report of the commit tee on resolutlone, which was unani mously adopted, says of the financial uuestlon: i 'Resolved, That our people. Irrespect ive of party affiliations, favor the free coinage of allver and believe that our mints could bo aafety opened to free coinage under an administration In which the people had confluence. We regret that the national convention at Ht. Iiula did not view this question as we view It. We accept, however, the assurance of the party that Its efforts will be devoted to the securing of an International agreement fr the unlimit ed coinage of silver as a sacred pledge. We believe the pledge will be fulfilled und we are llnuly of the faith that the remonetlzutlon of sliver, so essential to the welfare of this and all civilized countries, will be accomplished through the efforts and under the direction of the Republican, party of this country, and through no otfier. Kxccpl on the silver Uest!un, we heartily endorse, the platform of the party at St. Louis and di-clarc our undiminished and un wavering belief In the great doctrine of the protection of American labor and American Industries." Continuing. Uie resolution reads: "We favor free silver, but we value free government more, and while the success of the party upon the Chicago platform might bring silver monometal lism. It would afford no hope of bimet allism In this country'." Previous to the nomination of the ticket, Senator Wolcott delivered a brilliant speech. The nominations for the various stale officers were made as follows: tJovernor, Judge Geo. W. Allen. Den ver; Lieutenant CJovernor, ex-Congressman Ilisi Townsend. Silver Cliff. Secretary of state. Edwin Price, of Grand Junction. State Treasurer, James H. Harlow, of Colorado Springs. Auditor. Geo. S. Adams: Attorney General, Alexander Gunni son.

Complying with the request of a cor- resondent for a few short and pointed questions to fire at a silver spouter, the Philadelphia Press furnishes the fol lowing: Ask him why gold does not circulate In silver standard countries when silver circulates In gold standard countries. Ask him why the United States has a larger per capita of silver In circula tion than any silver standard country In the world. Ask him why the United States has more silver in circulation than any sli ver standard country in the world ex cept China and Japan. Ask him why the silver standard pre vails only in poor or semi-civilised coun tries. Ask him why the gold standard pre vails In the civilized, enlightened, weal thy and progressive countries of the world. Ask him why, If the ratio between gold and sliver can be fixed by law, that ratio has constantly fluctuated since men began to keep written rec ords of business transactions, never be ing the same from one year to another, and hardly the same front one day to the next, In spite of prolonged and ear nest efforts of powerful governments to maintain a double standard of value based on gold nnd silver. Ask him why there has been a differ ence between the value of gold and sil ver, weight by weight, since mankind began the use of lioth as money. Ask him why, If the luw can regu- lote the ratio between gold and Bllver, It does not set It at 1 to 1. thus making the two metals equal In value, weight for weight. Bryan advocates that which history haa written down a failure. FURTHER DETAILS FROM THE STORM Whole Districts in the East South Are Entirely Kuincd. and THE WHITE MOUSE DAMAGED Historical Treealrvelled to the Ground j In Georgia and Pennsylvania Great Loss of Life and Proper- ty Is Reported. Washington, Spt. 30. Reports receiv ed from suburban towns aliout Wash ington show that great damage was done throughout Hie surrounding coun try by lac t' night's storm. Great dam age Is also reported In the farming dis tricts, where all the grain In stack or shock has lieen strewn over the land. Many barns have been blown down. The White House was slightly Injured by the storm, a portion of the copper roofing being stripped off and other damage done. The tall flagstaff from 'which the signal was given to the city that the president was In town, dlsap : peared completely. In the ground sur rounding the house twenty-five of the splendid trees, elms, sycamore, walnuts l and magnolias, some of great age and of historical associations, were com pletely leveled, while fully fifty of the surviving trees suffered, the loss of thelr tops and principal branches and are permanently defaced. F. C. Blount, a 'member of the Interstate commerce commission, was In Reatty's restaurant at the time it fell. He was so badly bruised he has been unconscious ever since. It Is feared he Is also Injured internally and may not recover. The storm damage nere is estimated to run from a quarter to a half million dollars. At Alexandria there were four fatal ities: W. D. Stewart, killed by falling walls. XIrs. Holt, a visitor from North Car olina, killed in bed. Unknown colored woman. Tillman Giles, colored, w ho died f?5m the shock. Lancaster. Pa., Sept. 30. Late this evening telegraphic and telephonic com munications have been established with the surrounding country and later re ports confirm the earlier advices of the wide extent of this morning's cyclonic storm. Every section of country has been heard from and the story Is that ruin rode In the w ake of the gale. While an estimate of the total loss is necessa rily speculative, there does not seem to be any doubt that it will easily reach a million dollars and may largely ex reed that amount. The destruction of the Pennsylvania railroad bridge across the Susquehanna at Columbia over shadowed all else In relative Import ance. The bridge, which comprised 17 spans, was completely demolished. It was insured for $300,000. Savanna, Ga.. Sept. 30. The hurri cane which swept over Savannah yes terday afternoon cost nearly a dozen lives and entailed a loss of nearly $1. OoO.Ooo. Each report that Is received Is worse than the first. It was thought only one death would be caused by the storm, but the number has reached eleven dead and many Injured. New Orleans, La., Sept. SO A disas trous hurricane has visited Jackson ville, Fla., and forty Uvea have been lost. Telegraphic communication Is practically cut off from there. Memphis, Sept 30. A Commercial Appeal special from Jacksonville, Fla., says: It Is a conservative estimate to say ithat fifty people have lost their lives ! from yesterday's hurricane, and the ' number may run much higher. News ; from that portion of the state where j the storm struck first Is very slow Jn coming In, for tjie wires are down and the railroads Impassible. Wrecking ' parties which went out this morning have not returned, and it will be to i morrow before the full extent of the : damage Is known. The hurricane struck ' Florida at Cedar Keys, and passed In j its path of destruction over twenty j towns and villages, and reports show ; that between twenty and forty people jhave certainly "been killed. Cedar Keys : is about 100 miles southwest of Jackson I vllle. The hurricane, which had been ; churning the waters of the gulf, first struck this place, a village of 1500 in habitants. The only report which has come concerning Cedar Keys Is that the town has been swept away and many lives have been lost. This report comes from Gainesville, which Is fifty miles away. Nobody has been able to get any reliable news from Cedar Keys. Northeasterly the storm struck Wlllls , town, a small town where eleven houses ' were blown down, one person killed. and several so badly injured that It is expected they will die.
