Experimental Farms.

It has been suggested that the State
Department Of Agriculture can prop

of experiments to test practically the
best modes OF cultlvating tobacco in
South Caroline, and to determine
what class Of tobacco !s adapted to
the various districts Of the State. At
the same time i i'll be practicable

Tornado PrediCiian--SaviDg Life
and Property.
New YoRK, October IA, 81

EpIToR ADVERTISER: The attan
ton OF Congress is called to the fact
that soRe of the terrible loss Of life
and property due to tornadoes cln ba
averted. In 1882, Prof. T. B. Mau,y,
asserted What wes then the fact tl.at
the prediction Of a tornado vas s.
{ trianph yet to be attained by the
ecionce Of neteorology. In leaa THAI
two years from that time some pre-
dictions Of tornadoes were successfully
. made BY Lieutenant John P. Finley
of the Signal Service. The percent
age of verified predictions 10 steadily
increased by knowledge of the aver
age conditions preceding each gerier
Of tornsdoes, TINS making the pre-
dictions more definite and local With
each succeeding year. Already the
predictions of safety for the day are
effective. OF 1928 predictions un.
.-favorableto tornadoas, made in 1884.
320l were VERIFIED, and Of IS pre-
: dictions that tornadoes would occur
made in April and June, 1884, IS
were verified. OF l9 predictions that
tornadoes would occur, made in June
and July, 1885, Is were generally
verified. When tornsdoes were pre-
,dieted,- in no instance. did violent
storms fail to occur, either hurricanes,
tornadoes, or hail.
The failure of some predictions is
doubtless. due to.inaccurate and insult.
fcienttreports from sparsely settled
regions. While it .is admitted that
nothing like absolute control Of these
phenomena has been attained, yet
the above figures Clearly justify the
presence of tornado signals either Of
.safetysor-danger at every telegraph
station IN Kansas, Nebraska, Missou-
ri. Illinois, Iowa. Ohio. Michigan,
Wisconsin, Georgia and North Caro-.
lima, especially during April, May,
June, July, August and September.
II Mhoped chat Congress will direct
the Signal Service to submit estimates
Of the expense necessary to establish
such system Of signals. The cost
would be few thousand dollars for
flags or colored discs, and for tele.
graph service.

be difficult to limit the outlay to ihe

TOO MUCH PROMINENCE.

Entirely too much significance is be-
ing attached to Saturdays flag. raising
incident. That no insult to the flag
was intended is now conceded by all in
telllgent persons, and this being true no
significance can be attached to the
affair. The people have proven their
patriotism by "rallying round
the fag' most enthusiastically,
and showing by their words and
actions that it would be as unsafe here
in Utah to insult the Stars and Stripes
as it would be to trail the beautiful
standard under the walls of the national
Capitol. The sudden and unmistakable
manifestation of indignation when 1t
was imagined that disrespect to the flag
was shown told plainly enough
how much the emblem of the
Union is loved in Salt Lake; and as this
manifestation OF love and respect was by
ali parties and classes. it demonstrated
that at least ON one thing We can be
united, namely on respect and love for
the flag.
As no wrong was intended and no
harm done, the press and peoplewould
do well to let the affair drop.

Stanley Woodruff, of Wilkesbarre.

gentleman who had been twice elected
to the Office which he has filed bat

ing "a large percentage of the Yale

tage of his position to "say an ungen-
tlemanly tn n; at a time when nothing
but a gentlemanly thing should be
said," and SO on. Judge Woodruff
should be praised and his words COM
mended by Republicans no less than by
Democrats. Nobody can be found who

we're not elected to the first tive offices in
the nation. They we're defrauded of their
offices and the Republicans profitted
by the theft, but long before the term
which they had stolen expired, the ma
jority of them wished that the crime
had never been committed. and that
the rightful President and Vice-Presi-
dent had been duly inaugurated. No
party can afford to be guilty of what the
Republicans were guilty of in 1876, and
all patriots will so impress upon the peo-
pie the odiousness of thecrime stealing
an election that the theft will neither be
attempted nor assented to second
time.

NOFTHE MAN.

An esteemed contemporary, speaking
of CIeveland's refusal to make the ad-
ministration Democratic, demolishes.all
arguments infavor of the Presidents
policy III the matter of appointments
by asking the following question: docs
any sane man suppose that Mr.. Cleve-
land would have been elected President
if the announcement had been made
previous to the election that the incum-
bents of the government offices would
only be removed upon sustained charg-
es of personal and official misconduct. !"
If this announcement had been made
Mr.. Cleveland would to-day be serving
the closing months of his gubernatorial
term, and we doubt if single State
would be recorded in favor of his candi-
dacy. Mr.. Cleveland was elected be-
cause the people believed be would
change the officers who had been often
sive, and make the administration
Democratic. He was not chosen be-
cause the people were anxious to give
him $4,000 year. II it were the indi-
vi1ual that the voters wanted to COM
pliment and pay. they would have made
no change whatever. keeping both
Blaine and Cleveland out and leaving
Arthur ia the Presidential chair. Per
sonally. Mr. Arthur is more popular
than either of the other two, and the
people would as soon give him, as any
other man, $4,000 a year. 1t was the
Republican, administration that the
people voted to change, and Mr.. Cleye-'
land was merely the instrument that
they chose for carrying into effect their
wishes While the government shall
continue to be Republican in
form there will be at least two
parties striving for possession, =.
and unless humanity becomes
purer and more moral than it is there
will be changes in the policy of the
government as we'll as in the men WHO
hold the offices and administer the laws.
These changes viii be necessary, or
there Will be no sense in maintaining
our present form of government. The
republic might as well be abolished and
the rule iEaugurated that once IN Office
the man can only be removed by death.
The people are right always, or if they
are not right they are the power and
the authority. and in. republic their
will should be obeyed; otherwise
elections are senseless farces, and vot-
ing childish folly. But elections are
not farces and Eetingis not folly, as the
officials who regard them as such will
sooner or later learn. The man who is
placed In an Office and instructed by the
voters TO pursue a certain policy, and
fails or reiases to obey is either revo-
lutionist or the people have been de-
ceived in him.

LOTTERY sw1NDLEs.

forming evils AID protecting the people
against swindlezs and sharpers, it
should pass law that will suppress the

.pany had its usual drawing in May,
and 1t transpires that the gross profits
were SAT- 800, which sum was DELHI
serately stolen from the men and women
who permitted themselves to be duped
by the circulars and advertisements of
the concern. There seems to be no law
by which the lottery can be reached.
