The Great Rain storm.

The country has seldom been visited by
such general rain storm as that now moving
into Canada. the lake region and the Middle
and Eastern States. Taking it's course from
Mexico and the Western Gulf the storm
centre moved through Texas into the Indian
Territory, thence across the Mississippi be-
tween Cairo and st. Louis, through Illinois
into the lake region and Canada. We de-
scribed its progress and characteristics during
Thursday in yesterdays HERALD. Yesterday
it advanced northeastward with considerable
velocity, and, as we predicted, contracted
its area when approaching the lakes
and Ohio Valley In the morning the
rain area extended over the country
from Florida to Lake Superior and from
the Missouri to the Atlantic. In the after
noon the rain area contracted considerably,
extending from Northern Tennessee to tho
lakes and Canada and from the Mississippi
to the ocean. The heaviest rain fall was
along the coast and over the Middle States
and Ohio Valley region. Snow fell north of
Chicago and Toronto and rain at all other
points. The precipitation at New York up
10 uVo l.. NJ. was U. ~ OF IN lucu DalClulOrc,
O.75; Philadelphia, 0.51, and New London,
0.45. A high southeaster prevailed on the
coast during the afternoon, and strong
winds, varying in direction accord
ing to locality, were experienced
within the circle of greatest disturbance,
which was fully one thousand miles in
diameter An area of high pressure bars
the outlet Of the St. Lawrence to any rapid
eastward progress Of the storm centre, while
another high area follows from the north
west. The barometer has fallen very low,
with rain, at San Francisco, and also in
the Rocky Mountain region. The tempera-
ture has fallen to zero in Manitoba, but is
high on the northerly southerly and east
erly margins of the storm area The Lower
Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio rivers have
fallen, but the upper sections of these
streams have commenced to rise. The
weather in New York to-day will be cooler
and partly cloudy, with high southwesterly
to westerly winds, followed by clearing

Crib Work BuIkheads.

The proposition embodied in the report
of Committee No. of the Commercial Asso-
citation of New York for completing the
bulkhead line with crib work is one calcu-
lated to mislead public opinion regarding
one of the most important of our city i'm
provements. Although the suggestion is
qualified in the report by reference of the
question for final decision to the Com
missioners of the Sinking Fund, still
the object seems to be to secure the
adoption by that body of the proposed plan.
Any argument that can be advanced in favor
Of crib work for the bulkhead line must
rest on the single foundation Of mere econ
omy. It cannot be made on the ground that
crib work is the best and most suitable form
of construction for the water front of this
great city. It does not require On extraor-
dinary amount of technical knowledge to
convince any one that the employment of
perishabls material in what is intended
to be permanent improvement can
have any claims on public favor.
We would beg to remind the crib
work economists that New York is not a
Nova Scotia fishing village, and that her
docks are not intended for the exclusive
purpose of drying herrings or curing cod
fish. The proposition itself is so absurd
that we fear it covers more than appears on
the face of the committees report. We hope
that in this case the public interests of New
York are not going to be sacrificed to the
private interests of any individuals who may
own large tracts Of pine forest in Georgia or
elsewhere and who would notscrupleto turn
an honest penny in the name of economy.
Strong, substantial and perfectly con-
structed bulkhead walls of solid masonry
and concrete can be built along the water
front for very little more than the cost of
weak, unreliable and perishable structures
of wood. Indeed, it is doubtful that if
proper system of improving the water front
were adopted the stone wall would not nc
tually cost less than the wooden one. Be-
tween the two there can be no choice, for
stone work is SO immeasurably preferable in
every way 10 crib work that We are sur
prised that any proposition to adopt the
latter should be seriously advocated, much
less entertained. If our present system Of
work on the bulkhead wall is slow and ex-
pensive it is because of maladministration
and ignorance of those in charge, and not of
the plans they attempt to follow out. One
OF the most dangerous undertakings for a
body like the Commercial Association is to
tinker plans that they evidently do not un-
derstand. Let them apply their acknowl-
edged ability to it's proper object-namely,
the abolition of the vicious system of admin
istration of the Dock Department. but
abandon their absurd advocacy of crib work

The Appropriations.

On the Naval Appropriation bill new
conference has been found necessary; and
likewise on the Post Office Appropriation
bill. The Deficiency bill has been agreed
upon, and the Sundry Civil Appropriation
bill has gone to the Committee on Appro-
priations. The Army bill has passed the
House, but in shape which en-
dangers it's passage by the SEN
ate This bill is loaded with the
condition that the army shall not be used as
it has recently been used in tho Southern
States without the authority Of Congress.
Republicans in the House voted for it
despite this condition. and it is likely that
republicans in the Senate may do the same,
for in fact this clause is like the bull against
the comet. In the contingencies to which it
might apply it can have no effect. Any
President determined to interfere in the
elections in Southern State will not stop
on account of one more clause in the law
against it. If such o course of action could
be prevented by law there was enough law
against it already yet this restraint has
been found imperative. Perhaps the re-
publican Senators may see in the passage of
the bill with this clause q ready way to re-
lieve President Hayes from embarrassing
relations with dangerous element in their
partv

Spring.

Spring, the coquette of the year, whose at
tendants are clustering March. April, whose
tears are turned into rainbows by his smiles,
and merry May, has come at last and the
other day as we welcomed her we bade goodby
to winter. Yet we must not be sure that we
are rid of him, for as March came in like a
lamb he is likely to go out like lion,
and winter as he flies will shoot his
Parthian arrows of snow and frozen winds
into the area Of our depression. March
is the meanest of all the months for, while
he is claimed by spring. in this country he
really belongs to winter, and we would be
glad to see him banished from the calendar.
Eleven months in the year would be quite
enough The American climate is so very
uncertain that we can only be sure of cold
in the head in this season, of which the
English poets, from Chaucer to Thompson,
have sung so charmingly. Their poetry is
not founded upon our facts, and thus we
read of daisies primroses and daffodils
that come before the swallow dares wrapped
up in ulsters and racked with bronchitis
and colds Even now, as was foretold by that
awful and mysterious being, he who
rides on whirlwinds and directs the
storm-the W-th-r Pr-ph-tvspring ap-
proaches us from Texas in the form of a
tremendous tempest of rain, which, not
being detected by the Allegheny Noun
tains, burst upon the city yesterday. With
such climate it is natural that Americans
should sometimes confuse the seasons, and
that such names for the months as Janpril,
Apruary, Juvember and Septober should be
instinctively used. Still, we must welcome
spring, with all her faults, for the sake of
her pleasant prophecies All the seasons
have some peculiar merits, and not the least
of spring is that it is the vestibule to sum-

The Dog Ordina nee.

Alderman Cowing's proposition that dogs
shall submit to license and muzzles has
gone to the Law Committee Of the Board.
supported by the hopes Of all timid citi-
zens. Affection, even for o dog, is apt to
grow conservative when it reaches the
pocket of the person exercising it, and the
imposition of license fee of five dollars
will provoke many wonder as to whether
the dog is worth his cost. Should
such wonderings develop into unpre-
JUDGED inquiries there can be no doubt that
the rivers and harbor of New York would
soon resemble o miniature and thickly
studded archipelago, while sausages would
become so cheap that every tramp could
have one. Canine mortality would be largely
increased. too, by the muzzle requirement;
for when the beautiful Spitz comes to realize
that he can lunch only upon his owners
family and in the sec)usion of the family
mansion his tender heart will burst with
the agony of hope deferred.
The only weak point of the proposed or
dinance is the imperfectness of specifica-
ton. It's provisions should verbally include
puppies as well as dogs, and then kill two
nuisances with one legal stone. If all pup
pies, including those which infest society
and hang about church doors and theatre
lobbies, could be muzzled, On immense
nuisance might find temporary abatement,
and the destruction of those without licenses
would keep undertakers and gravediggers
from grumbling about hard times. The
body of the two-legged puppy is useless
for edible purposes anywhere this side of
Equatorial Africa but the charitable So
cieties could speedily put his outer covering
where it would do the most good. His con-
demned body might be given to the sur
geons for vivisection, and thus end the COM
plants of the tender-hearted against this
practice, for it is an incontrovertible fact
that no pain can be experienced by on
organism which is utterly destitute of brain.
