The house committee on Invnlid pea
siont on the 25th authorized a favorable
report on the bill providinrr a service
lnlon for the soldiers of the rebellion
and their widows. The bill authorizes
the secretary of the interior to place on
the pension roll the name of any officer
or enlisted man of sixty-two years or

age.
We confess to great surprise aa well nr

remaps our press does err someumcf
n the fulsome praise of local orators
With many flowery language ami grace
fill elocution puss for eloquence; and par-
tial and injudicious friends laud to tin
skii s sieukers whose chief merit is flora
fluency and animated and graceful ac
tion. Nevertheless, we prefer, with tin
News Observer, to bestow praise rathe
than withhold it. The tendency ot mod.
ern habits is to the decay of oratory. I
is less the instrument of influence than i
once was before the newspaper supplier
the field of directing public thought. Bui
when the orator does appear he will al
ways be heard and will control. His is
n divine gift, like that of the poet, rare
phenomenal and fascinating, and li kt
the comet, the infiratient visitor to tin
skies above us, will always cominanii
wonder and admiration.

The ratification of the new extradition
treaty between the L'uited States nud
Great' Britain, embracing Canada in it
provisions, terminates the greatest inter-
national scandal of the age. Pur the
gates of the Dominion stood wide open
to welcome s) class of refugees who may
be said to have bought welcome by the
stolen money that condoned thcirr.fl"nce,
and made their presence desirable, if not
honorable. All bank thieves, all em
bezzling officers, a II dela lilting treasurers,
all betrayers of fiduciary trusts, prepared
and executed their dishonest purposes
dclilierately, assured th-t a few hours
wilt night by railroad would cive them
safety und protection. Alone side of us

ot high and low degree found safe and
free, if not respected enjoyment of his
plunder, defying his victims, und com
placently enjoy ing t heir impotent chagrin,

Canadian firesides. This is nil ended, in
s relation to the future. The thieves
already across the border have only the
stings of cons ience, or yearnings after
their old homes to ilistnrbthem. Canada
has been to the United States what Texas
was n long time ago. ''Gone to Texns"

swept over this city," it said, "wrecking
two or three hundred houses, and killing
two hundred people. The wind came
from the southwest. The union depot,
it the foot of Seventh street, was lifted
rom its loundution and turned over into
he raging torrent of the Ohio River. A
rain of cars making up for the Louis
nlle Southern road went over with the
uilding. Falls City hall, on West Mar
set street, was wrecked.
"In the hull were over a hundred peo
ple, and but few of them escaped alive,
"Many buildings after falling, caught
'ire and the inmates were burned. All
the streets are blockaded with debris ot
'alien buildings or telegraph and electric
vires."
Even yet it is almost impossible to get
lews direct and nearly all the news is

An eye witness of tbe storm tells the
ollowing:
"I only saw the course of it from Four
ecnth and Walnut to Eleventh and Mar-
tet streets. From tbislatter point it fol
owed its course to Seventh and River,
vhere it left the city, and, striking across

een minutes.
"There is scarcely anything left that

Another report from Louisville says:
"Outside of clearly defined limits, the

Inrni of fire from tbe different stations.
nd the presence of a calamity began to

"Probably the greatest loss of life ce

rooms of the hull were fifty or seventy-

There were at least 12S persons on
the tower floors and seventy-five more
attending a large meeting on the upper
loor, when the terrible windswept down
upon the building. The entire structure,
in less than five minutes, was a shapeless
mnss of brick and mortur, burying 200
helpless victims, ot which number few es
caped uninjured.
"Conservative estimates give the loss
f life at this place nt 100, while reports
indicate a number near 200,
"At 3 n. m thirty-five bodies had been
taken from this ruin and fifteen wounded
and dying. Only those on the third floor
had been reached. Thr room containing
the dancing school and visitors had not

"Thirty-five, mostly women and chil
