The WEATIER.-The progress of the cyclone
In the Gulf States has been marked by de-
crease of energy and rise of pressure at its
centre. The area of low barometer has how
ever, increased toward the lake region, and
although the storm has lost its dangerous char
actcr there is u probability that it will again
assume it when OFF the coast. At present the
centre of disturbance is in Georgia and net far
from the ocean. In advance of the depression
rains have fallen from Cape IIatteras to south
ern Florida, diminishing westward toward the
mississippi mouth. The area of high pressure,
which influences the movement OF the storm,
is now passing oft the Middle At
lantc coast. The depression which had
passed over Nova Scotia is succeeded
in that district by rising barometer Over the
northern sections of the United States the
baroInctric pressure is very Irregular and indi-
cations present themselves of the advance of
another disturbance from the Northwest. With
these conditions prevailing the utmost caution
should be exercised by shipmastcrs about to
put to sea, as the weather on the middle and
eastern coasts is deceptivcly fine. The tenn
,eraturc is highest in the West and continues
ow within the area affected by the cyclone. The
Weather in New York to-day will be cool and
Loudly or partly cloudy. possibly with rain.

TIE PRESIDENT very properly changed the
tone and character OF his speeches ut the recep-

speak it is just as well to be serious. His adj

past, erect school houses, invite immigration and
build up the State was sound and sensible. Adj
dresses like this ought to do good.

FEW persons at the present day have any
adequate conception Of the bitter hostility
that was waged against George Washing
ton during the second term of his admins
tration as President. 1t was during that
period that the Federal and Republican
parties were organized, the former under
the leadership of John Adams and the lat
ter under that of Thomas Jefferson. AL
though Washington took no active part in
favor Of either party, and stood aloof from
their personal warfare, lis sympatllies were
with Adams. In 1891, when he was clos
ing his second term and about to retire to
Mt Vernon, the Aurora, then a well known
paper throughout the country, was especi-
ally abusive of him. 1t is difficult for the
present generation to conceive how the edi-
tor of that journal could deliberately sit
down and hold up the pure and virtuous
Washington to the scoin, hatred and con-
tempt of the country as he did in the fol
lowing words on the last day of Washing
tons term as President:

WE have no hesitation in endorsing the

As VIRGINIA has been called the mother
Of statesmen, so may Ohio be called the
mother Of office holders. a Republican
who is fortunate enough to live i'll the
Buckeye State and wants an office from
Mr.. Hayes, can read his title clear without
much difficulty. Loyal Republicans in
other States who are ambitious to serve
their cOuntry, had right to expect that
in dispensing his patronage Hayes would
look beyond the limits of Ohio and give
them at least an equal chance. 1t would
take more space than we can afford to spcci-
fy i'll detail the responsible offices now filled
by Ohions in the different departments of
the government. Their number.is legion.
and still they come, the latest and one Of
the most important being that or ex-Gov-
ernor Noyes as Minister TO France. 40

the exception perhaps of Don Cameron, did

the electoral vote of Louisiana in the way
that would do Mr. Hayes the most good,

By the treaties of July 10, 1910, and July
IA, lS4l, says the Harrisburg Patriot, Tur-
key was received iuto the family Of Euro
liean nations. The integrity of the Otto.
man empire was threatened by Russia in
1853, but was preserved by the arms of
England, France and Sardinia united with
those of Turkey. By the treaty of Paris,
in 1856, the Black Sea was made a neutral
highway aud the control of the mouths of
the Danube was taken from Russia. The
Danubian principalties, which were former
ly to great extent under Russian influ-
euce, were united in 1861 under the name
of Roumania. y prince OF the imperial
family of Germany was chosen its ruler,
who acknowledged the Turkish govern
ment and paid it an annual tribute in
money. In 1871 the neutrality ofthe Black
Sea was abrogated, but the Dardanelles
and the BosphOrus are open 10 the ships of
powers friendly to Turkey, Should their
presence be necessary 90 protect the latter

onstrate whether Mr.. Hayes had or had not

Ben Wade, like Wendell Phillips and

greatest service in his power by abusing
HIM. Nothing is more likely to rally the
conservatives of the country than the
violent opposition of the ultra portion of

i'll perfectly cold blood have sought sys-
temaiically to inflame the passions and
prejudices of others, and by every devilish
art and device to keep alive the bitter
hatred engendered by the late civil strife.

Hayes for doing right, yet not one of our
