Storms in Europe.

Our telegram from London reports o
storm OF wind and rain over Ireland, Eng
land and Northwest France, and thus once
more verifies our prediction Of the course
and destination Of disturbance that left
us some days since. 1t has been stormy
winter in Europe; winter as notable for
departure from the ordinary standard of
weather on the side of severity as with US
the other way. In France the snow in the
mountain ranges and in the great forests
has been such as to drive the wolves to the
very gates of the great cities. In Paris
they have enjoyed the unusual treat
of days of sleighing, more snow hav-
ing fallen than in any year since the
winter of the siege. All the great
storms they have had have been regularly
predicted by us and communicated through
our London and Paris offices, SO that the
storms never came Unexpectedly to those
who cared to notice the news. Some hard
hearted mortals will want to know presently
what is the use of our foretelling storms,
and whether or no we cannot prevent them.
But in time it will be commonly under
stood that there is not much difference be-
tween the two; that to foretell storm five
days in advance, and thus enable one to
make his preparations to avoid it, is as good
the sea in ships" understand this already
better than others. but all will see it very
we'll one of these fine days.

years they have utterly neglected. They
will succeed in this, as they have succeeded
in building up their manufactures. and in
less than dozen years from now we shall
have resumed that high rank among the
commercial nations which We held before
1861. But the race of merchants who in
that earlier period carried our flag and our
products all over the world has died out !;
the new men, manufacturers and exporters,
who are now turning their attention
to the re-establishment of our ocean
commerce need all the information
they can get, and nothing can help them so
much as the frequent reports of efficient
consuls Our true foreign policy lies in
this direction. TO become once more pros
porous we must secure such control Of for
eign markets as will enable us to sell abroad
our surplus manufactures, or. more cor
rectly, to exchange them for the raw ma
terials of other nations. To learn how to do
that we need a capable, permanent. well
paid and we'll organized consular service,
and if we had that we could get along very
we'll without ambassadors or ministers,
whose situations where they are main
tanned might we'll be made the honorary re-
wards of faithful public service or of con-
spicuous merit.
Congress ought not to forget, in its de-
sire for economy, that penny wise and
pound foolish system of saving is neither
proper nor popular. 1t has been held by
some ignorant men in the House that the
consular service ought to pay for itself and
that port where the fees do not somewhat
more than equal the consurs salary ought to
have no consul. Such ignorance is purely
mischievous and deserves no attention.
The present income of q consulate in fees
is no measure at all Of the importance OF
the place, and the disposition to make it so
and to higgle about the salaries of consuls
is on par with the similar silly spirit
which seeks to cut down the army and
which keeps our navy rotting at home in
stead Of sending our ships abroad over the
world to show the flag and to make our
country known to distant nations. Our
little army is probably the most over
worked body of men in the world,
and it has been repeatedly shown by
facts and figures that money would be
saved to the country in costly transporta-
ton were the rank and file increased. The
new Army bill has some good features, but
we hope Congress, before adopting it, will
do itself the credit of asking the opinions
of such men as Generals Sherman and
Sheridan. 10 cut the army down, either
in force or pay, contrary to the advice Of
these officers. would be a blunder which
the country would rightfully resent. AS to
the navy, Secretary Thompson has greatly
increased its efficiency, and he has done so
without waste. 1t may be made, as he has
suggested, an important auxiliary to our
commerce, and our ships ought to be used,
and not laid up to rot.

New Years Celebration.

The beginning of the new year seems to
all over the country. In our own city and
in the cluster of smaller comm unities that
nestle all around it the day was devoted to
the discharge of those social amenities and
duties which society exncts rs the price of
its membership. At Washington, where
the day from the beginning Of the Republic
has been looked upon as the chief holiday
of the year, the celebration was, as usual,
almost entirely official in it's character.
The President and the principal
officers Of the government were 'at
home" to their friends and followers,
and the uniforms of the diplomatic
corps and of military and naval officers
gave tone and color to official drawing
rooms. There were gubernatorial recep-
tions ut many of the State capitals, and in
several of the leading cities the mayors and
other municipal officers exchanged the
compliments of the season with their
friends and fellow townsmen. In q word,
from Maine to Louisiana and from the
Atlantic to the Pacific the day was observed
with good deal of the old time warmth
and enthusiasm before the lean years Of
commercial depression threw their shadows
across the new years dial. The certainty
that these shadows have at length passed
away contributed no doubt, to the joyous
ringing welcome to 1879 that went up from
all the land yesterday. It was fitting that
the golden New Years of our second GEN.
tury should have received such greeting

TIE Manufacturing yesterday the press
urc fell rapidly throughout the central valley
districts and the Middle Atlantic States. 1t is
rising slowly in all the districts west of the Mis-
sissippi Valley, particularly in the Northwest.
Rain fell in the South Atlantic and Gulf States
and snow in all the other sections. The winds
have been generally light throughout the coun-
try, except in the Northwest, where they arc
increasing in force The temperature has
been variable in the northern lake regions and
has risen generally elsewhere. Although the
barometer has fallen in the eastern districts, the
pressure is yet only relatively low, but the in
dicutions are that the decrease will be more
rapid during to-day and steep gradients will
probably DC formed over the coast districts
north of Cape Iiattcras during the next few
days. Tho snow storms reported in the West
have been very severe on account of the low
temperature that attends them From the special
cable despatch, printed elsewhere relating to the
weather in Europe, 1t would seem that the me-
teorological conditions were not very favorable
for the enjoyment of the Christmas and New
Years festivities. The weather in New York
and its vicinity to-day will be cold and cloudy,
with rain or snow Tomorrow it promises to
be colder and partly cloudy, with occasional
snow, followed by clearing.
