dant rains have fallen, however
and the rivers are full.
The old fears that an open winter
would be succeeded by bad har,
vest have of late been dispelled
the facts going to overthrow the
theory; for after recent mild win
ters we had crops of great abun-
dance. And, indeed, the vast area
we now have under cultivation
throughout so wide a range of ter
ritory renders the chance of gem
eral failure of the harvest-such a
failure as may dishearten the farm
ers of England or Franco con-
tingency so remote as to be almost
impossible. So far as can be judg-
ed thus early in the year, the out
look for the crops is now encourag-
ing in all the regions from which
we have reports.
The February which begins to-
morrow will be remarkable, not
only for its twenty-nine days, but
also for its five Sundays. AS a
correspondent of the Times, learn
ed in the Gregorian calendar, in
forms us, we shall have to wait for
another such February until 1920.
We call the attention of the
clergy to this interesting peculiar
ity of the month of which to-mor-
row will be the first Sunday. The
majority of them cannot expect to
live long enough to again have the
chance of preaching on five Sun
days in February. Let them,
therefore, make their sermons so
that those of their con-
gregations who shall be alive in
1920, enjoying the effulgent light
of the twentieth century, will re-
call February, 1880, as n time when
they feasted on spiritual food which
thoroughly appeased the hunger of
their souls.

A Remarkable January Ended and a
Remarkable February Coming.

From the New York sun.
So far as the weather of the
month was concerned the January
which ends to-day has been one of
the most remarkable for our lati-
tude this generation has experien-
ced. Last Wednesday, in the af-
ternoon, the thermometer rose to
IS degrees, and the average tenn
perature for the day was 81 de-
grees. The weather Of the same
day last year was mild for the sea-
son, but it was still seven degrees
lower. In January, 1876, we had
one day as warm as Wednesday,
but we must 60 over many winters
before we find another parallel
case.
In the upper Hudson there is o
small amount Of floating ice, but
the river was yesterday open for
traffic with towed barges even as
far north as Albany. We hear
also that in Ontario, Canada, the
steamers are making daily trips,
and though since Wednesday the
thermometer hereabouts has fallen
to thirty degrees, we have not yet
had, since the opening of January,
weather which deserves to be called
severe.
We yesterday learned from Swift
zerland, however, that for the first
time in the present century the
lake of Zurich is frozen over, and
ice has also formed in the other
Swiss lakes and the river Arve. A
popularity Of the Swiss winter, to
which the Geneva correspondent Of
the London Times called attention
at the beginning Of the month, is
that while the temperature of the
lowlands is exceedingly cold, that
of the mountains is mild and balmy.
In December France experienced
some Of the heaviest snow storms
within its remembrance, and though
Of late .he thermometer has risen
that country has encountered
freezing weather OF which we have
had few examples during the month
or even since winter began. Paris
and the whole OF France were GOV.
cred with snow in December, ex.
ceptional cold meanwhile prevail
ing, and its thawing under the sur
of early January gave rise to fresh.
cts to which the Frenchmen ar,
not accustomed. With us, along
the Atlantic coast, to the south o
Maine certainly. such snow as ha
fallen has endured for q few day
only, and of anything like gener
Al thsw which floods the stream

even put to sea on problematical
fishing cruises, aud although these
captains were entirely unsuccess-
ful in that object, and even I'M
fortunate enough to lose the OPP
portunity of attending the elections
themselves, yet they did not re-
pine or feel that they or their po-
litical friends were the losers by
the sacrifice. | heard of philan-
thropist who went to considerable
expense for food and liquor, to ac-
commodate a large party of men
whom he kept locked up in his
barn for three days, lest they might
stray out and get into trouble, I'M
til election day came, when he car
ried them with his own teams to
the poles aud saw that they exer-
cised the noblest privilege of free
men without let or hindrance. This
man also was of n different political
party from thar of his guests, who,
struck with his magnanimity and
seeing the error of their former
ways, nobly recanted their opinions
and voted as their host did. These
things 60 far TO confirm our belief in
the innate goodness of human ma
ture and purity of politics. No
matter how high party spirit may
run, | am satisfied that all the
troubles in the present contest can
be remedied, if only the leaders
approach their task with a kindly
feeling of liberation towards their
opponents, q charitable recogni-
tion of the fact that business is
business, and that in free
country all will lie well if the peo-
pie are left to settle their differ
ences on a broad basis of justice
and a fixed tariff of values. There
is not a nobler image of freedom
than that of the unbiased patriot,
ballot in hand, and gently rubbing
his forefingers and thumbs together
while he listens to the arguments
of rival candidates.

The radical papers who argue SC
strongly about abiding by the de-
cision of a State Supreme Court,
should bear in mind that about
three years ago they refused to
abide by the decision Of the Judges
Of the Supreme Court Of Florida,
all Of whom were Republicans.
Those Judges decided that Tilden
was entitled to the electoral vote
of Florida, but what Republican
paper was in favor of abiding by
the decision of the Republican
Judges of the Florida Supreme
Courtl Not one. A radicals
memory does not appear to be
equal to the task of remembering
the events of the Presidential
steal.

A Compliment to the Weather Bureau.

The German government recent
ly paid the highest compliment to
the United States by addressing,
through the German Minister at
Washington, letter requesting to
be exactly informed as to the pro-
cesses by which the Signal Service
Bureau so promptly collects at the
War Department the meteorologi-
cal reports from all parts of the
United States-an extent of terri
tory greater than Europe-and so
rapidly drafts and publishes them
upon the printed daily weather
map. These maps are issued three
hours after the records are read at
the distant stations.
When it is remembered that the
request comes from a government
noted for its skilled chartograph-
ers, and standing first in Europe,
the value Of the compliment will
be appreciated. 1t is understood
that the German government pro-
poses an advance in meteorologi-
cal work. The information sought
has been infinitely prepared by the
Chief Signal Officer, General Niger,
with the approval of the Secretary
Of War.

COlOred Testimony.


tor of the Washington Argus, a
weekly paper devoted to the in
terests of the colored race, and
Principal of the Howard Univer-
sity School, testified before the
Senate Exodus Committee in Wash
ington, January 26th, that he is a
native of North Carolina, grad
uate of Oberlin College and of
Howard University; that he has
visited his native State every year
since he left it, and has made a
careful study of her people. His
last visit was only a few weeks ago,
when he delivered an grafton at
the Raleigh celebration of the is
suance of the Emancipation Pro-
clamation. He further testified
that he was one Of the founders of
the National Emigrant Aid So
ciety, having himself drawn up its
constitution. Its object was to
furnish aid to colored people fee
ing from oppression, such as the
destitute crowds accumulated at
st. Louis on their way to Kansas
from Mississippi and Louisiana.
At one of the first meetings, how
ever, a Mr.. Mendenhall made a
speech suggesting that it would be
advisable to divert the emigrants
from their objective point Kan
sas) and "send about 5000 into
Indiana, as that was a doubtful
State in the coming election" Mr..
Olney testified that no one object
ed to this suggestion at the time
but himself. He continued: 81
felt that we had been used long
enough as tools. l knew that the
former use of us had not rebound
ed to our advantage. In the South,
as one man, we had voted the Re-
publican ticket, and our reward
was buckshot from the Ku-klux
and no protection from the nation
al government, hence / was op-
posed to the longer use of my peo-
pie by any political party, and as
soon as / saw that the exodus was
to be used politically, l withdrew
from the society. There were
others in the society who after
wards expressed the same senti-
ments, but they remained in the
organization"
The witness in further explana-
ton of his decision, said he argued
with his friends in the society that
in Kansas colored emigrauts might
procure homesteads. In Indiana
and Ohio they could not. To the
first named State they had receiv-
ed an invitation, but to the last
named they had not been invited.
He next informed the committee
that when the exodus from North
Carolina first began, he addressed
letters to the most prominent col.
ored men in the State asking what
caused this sudden uprising. AL
the answers were that there wa:
no cause for it; that the more ig.
norant were deluded by three mer
named Perry, Williams and Tay'
lor, who had been North and re-
turned with such glowing news
that the people could not resis
them. An investigation revealed
the fact that these three men hat
been among the most ignorant o
the country people, and had told
them that the United States Gov
eminent wanted them to go to In
diana, and would give them none.
to begin with !; that they would re
ceive sl.50 per day during tn
winter and from 81 to $3.50 du
ring the spring, summer and fall
Some who hesitated<we told tha
they would receive new suits Q
clothing at Washington. Thes
