Had we written about the weather on Satur-
day loot. 81 we should have reported that less
than one inch of rain had fallen, to the best of
our belief lin any part of the island save town,
since the departure of the English Mail a fort
night ago but the delay of three days enables
US to raise a feeble ray of hope in the minds of
distant proprietors by stating that soaking
showers were generally experienced on Sunday
night. The rainguage kept at the Public
Library registers 47-1O0ths of an inch as the
Oity's share of this acceptable change of wea-
Their, but we have reason to believe that from
an incn and a half to two inches was the aver
age of the country districts. Mr.. w. R.
GEDDEs, Of FGtches Creek, kindly favoured us
last week with a comparative statement of the
rainfall in 1874 and 1878 upon the estates Nm
der his supervision. This statement shows
that the rainfall of the present year was not
much more than half of the number of inches
which fell to the lot of these places during the
same period Of 1s74-a very disheartening
record which we believe is equally true of
most if not all the estates situated in the
nothern and eastern quarters Of the island.
Towards the middle and southern districts
there has been better weather, but even in
these comparatively favored localities the
canes are stunted and exhibit precocious
sipsness.9 The ponds too, are drying every
where. We fear it 10 almost too late for any
change Of weather to affect the general yield
Of the island next year, Two inches per week

for the remainder of October, and about four.
teen inches nicely distributed throughout No
vember, December, and January may enable
some estates, where the soil is very good and
the canes are more vigorous than they are
generally, to make an average crop, but the
large majority of plantations will do well if
under the best conditions they turn out half the
ordinary number of hogsheads.

1t is stated that the Northern Powers
afe agreed on regarding as satisfactory
the guarantees demanded by the Insurgents,
namely, the right of Christians to give
evidence in courts of justice the selec-
ton of the police from among the inhabi-
tants, and not from only one class of the
inhabitants and a limit on the taxation;
and finally, that these reforms be guaran-
TEDDY the mediatiEg Powers. But the
latter concession, if it is to be gen
uine, must surely mean something
more than that the mediating Powers
will endorse Turkeys PROMISES
it means that they will take
care that Turkey fulfls them; and how
can that be secured without either taking
the administration of the insurgent pro-
vinces into their own h~ands,-Which, OF
course, is out of the question,-or giving
them a limited autonomy, SO as to put the
remedy for abuse into the hands of those
who suffer by the abuse? Any guarantee
short of this would be a mockery.
Marshal MacMahon certainly occupies a
very peculiar place as the Constitutional
head of q Republic which is intended to
give free play to parliamentary discussion
and parliamentary responsibility. His
friends never lose an opportunity of iden-
tifying not merely his private views, but
his public endeavours, with the wishes OF
one party in the State, and ofrepresentlng
them as hostile to the efforts of every other
party. And not only does the Marshal
himself accept this description of his pub
lie aims, but he evidently regards it as q
highly meritorious element in his conduct
that he should justify this description.
Thus, at Rouen, the other day, M, Angel,
president Of the General Council, after a
dig at the Radicals, said, "The country
will ratify the policy of paciication and of
true liberty,-the Conservative policy
which has always been the Assembly's,
and which is also yours. It knows that
this policy alone can give tranquility to
the future" Whereupon the Marshal re-
piled, "You are right to have confidence
IN me. As long as [ have the government,
I will maintain order. (which was equi-
valent to saying that only the Conserva-
tive policy could maintain order. Yet if
that be the Marshal's belief, he cannot even
affect impartiality towards the various
parliamentary parties from whom he may
have to choose q ministry j; and he might,
in common self-respect, have to retire
with his present Ministry, iii were beaten,
just at the very moment when he would
be most needed as the fixed political centre
round which parties %revOlve. If the full
crum of your crowbar gives way just when
you are heaying up the weight, it does
not take much sogacity to predict o
smash.

With the exception of two or three drenching
showers which have done good to the cane
crop, the weather during the past fortnight
has been hot and dry. Grinding has been
begun, but not extensively. The yield so far
10 very poor.
1t will be observed from our rainfall tables
for the month of September, that there was a
very heavy down-pour in several parts of the
colony, particularly on the West Bank Of the
Demerara River, on the 10th ultimo, At La
Grange the registered fall was 4.50 inches.
The rainfall is still, however, considerably
below that Of last year. The average up from
the 1st of January to the end of last month
was about Sc, 81 inches, while the average for
the same period last year was about 1906.
