Weather for March 1886.

March will be a warm and wet
month. As it will be cloudy and
misty a gr eat part of the time, the
suns rays viii be prevented from
making it as hot as it otherwise
would be.
In the upper Missouri Valley
and the far Northwest, as well as
in the most Of Canada, it will not
be excessively wet, and a part of |
the precipitation there will be in |
the form of snow; while farther |
south and east there will also be
some snow, yet most of the precip-
itation will be rain, with numerous
thunder showers. Probably one
third of the days will be fair or
clear, and then it will be quite
warm, andas the rains will gener-
ally be warm ones it follows that
vegetation and buds will start very
early, and grain and seeds should
be planted whenever it is dry
enough. There will be heavy
frosts in the latter part of the
month and in April, and while
these frosts will not be as severe
as they are some springs, yet they
will do considerable damage on ac-
count of the warm rains and hot
sun during the latter part of Feb
ruary and early in March starting
vegetation prematurely. Probably
the heaviest rains of the month
will extend from the Gulf of Mex
leo to near the Great Lakes, caus-
ing numerous floods, though l can
not be positive as to the exact To-
cality where the greatest rainfall of
the month will occur. There will
doubtless be some localities which
will not receive enough rain though
they will not be numerous. [ think
a greater portion of Kansaswill not
have an excess during March, and
farmers here will have a fair op-
portunity to get their seeding and
plowing done early and it should
be done as early as possibly
to avoid danger later in the sea-
son.
There will probably be some tor
nadoes during the first half of the
month, between the Lower Missis-
sippi river and the Atlantic.
! The equinoctial storm this year
will commence early. In fact, the
cline storm" may be said to be
scattered along Throughout the
month. Excessive rains will con-
tinue In California for a good part
Of the month, with rains and SHOWS
in the mountains according to ele-
vation.

THEN AND NOW.

\ few years ago in this part of
the country, cattle and hogs could
be grown and put upon the mar
ket at a very small cost. Then the
pasture cost nothing from May to
October, and an abundance of ex-
cellent hay could be secured on
the prairie at trifing expense;
the swine could roam through the
woods at will, till almost ready for
market, when two or three bushels
of corn per head would put them
in excellent condition for the
butcher 'and many times have they
been sent to market without ever
having tasted corn. Then what
ever the farmer received for cattle

What The Knights Of Labor Are
Doing

The most notable Of all the out
growths of the labor agitations
which have convulsed the civilized
world at regular intervals for
several years, says the st. Joe
Gazette, is the organization of
the Knights of Labor. The per-
fection of this noble organization
is the first coherent effort of
American labor to defend itself
against the aggressions and op-
pressions of capital Where here
tofore conflicts have arisen be-
tween the employe and employer,
no organization existed in the
ranks of the former; and all that
was necessary to insure the de-
cision of the issue in favor of
capital was for the employer to
fatty refuse all demands of the
employees, no matter whether
those demands were just or unjust.
To-day the contest is between
organized capital and organized
labor.
The violence of the old regime
has given place to the arbitration
of differences The capitalist is
daily becoming acquainted with
the fact that monopolists of the
money are not monopolists of the
brains of the country, and that
powerful as is the almighty dollar,
there resides in the countless
thousands of men who toll a
power which, when organized and
intelligently directed, is altogether
irresistible.
To the organization of the
Knights of Labor all these whole
some conditions are attributable.
The organization and its propaga-
ion have the sympathy of the
people of the country. May it
grow and be guided by good coun-
sci, for in its future is wrapped
he future of the Amrican wage
worker.

or hogs, was almost clear gain.
But all this has changed and every
pound of beef or pork produced
must be paid for in so much money.
1t is estimated that, even in Texas
the cheap cattle country of the
world, a steer when put upon the
market as beef does not pay for
himself Our country has reached
that point in development, when
something must be done or farmers
will continually become poorer
without knowing why. If one of
our farmers should take a scrub
calf and keep an accurate account
of food consumed, till three years
old, in majority of cases it would
bring him in debt. It is only q
short time since, that our farmers
raised hogs at a loss, but at the
present time, Notwithstanding the
low prices, a hog is better property
than q steer though relatively no
higher. The reason is, that cur
hogs are generally of the best
breeds. Farmers have for several
years, been giving their herds the
best attention and introducing the
best blood. The result is that the
amount of feed formerly required
to put "hazel splitter" in condi-
ton for market, will now prepare
two or three animals, of our better
breeds, for the butcher. A care.

Reply.

/ answer the above, not because
l desire to rush into print" upon
these questions; but because the
qusrist seems to be earnest and
honest in searching after truth.
None of the people whom l re-
present have ever taught that wa
ter washes away sins. We all be-
lieve and teach that without the
shedding of blood there can be no
remission" and that ''the blood of
Jesus Christ cleanses from all
SIN" But we teach that Jesus
Christ has not promised remission
to the disobedient. Baptism is a
command of Christ, and obedience
demands that we observe it. As
John Wesley said, God has tied
us to baptism, though he may not
in all cases tie himself" Those
who say that we teach that
water washes away sins, either
ignorantly, or maliciously, break
the Ninth Commandment. If they
do it ignorantly, it does no credit
to their heads. They could learn
better by asking any of our repre-
sentative men. If they do it will
fully, it does no credit to their
hearts. In either event they are
without excuse. SIMPSON ELY.

WHY Mr.. MORRISON WILL FAIL.

Congressman Morrison is in the
attitude of introducing a tariff bill.
It will be remembered that he did
a similar thing during the last
Congress. 1t is not probable that
the present effort will be more
successful than the former. The
Democratic party now as then re-
mains without policy regarding
the tariff, and if it had policy, the
complexion of the Senate is such
as to counteract any radical legis-
lation on this subject by the
House. But aside from the policy
of parties, the temper of the peo-
pie is to be considered. In Ken
lucky, a Democratic State, is a
great demand for free-trade, in
many things not produced at home
but when the hemp industrysis
threatened Congress is appealed
10 for protection. Up in New
England, largely Republican and
almost wholly a manufacturing
section, cheaper machinery and
raw materials are wanted, and q
: demand is heard for free-trade in
iron. But the wealth and import
| ance of Pennsylvania are involved
in the protection of the iror
industry, SO that the leader of the
Democracy of that State appears
In Congress as supporter of the
tariff on this commodity. At the
South is to be seen great section
arising suddenly from poverty te
wealth, through the growth of its
manufactures, and the people
there, Democrat or Republican,
feel that without a moderate de-
gree of protection their new indus.
tries can not thrive. The keynote
to the position of the people OF
every section named is given in
Mr.. Morrison's failure to include
fax-which is produced in his
own State more largely than in
any other-in the list of articles
upon which he proposes to reduce
the tariff. The country is not yet
prepared for removal of protec-
ton to home industries, and Mr..
Morrison is likely, as before, to
waste a great amount of work in
attempting to force such a meas
ure upon the people.

people do you believe that water
washes away sins. If Christ had
no sins and we are baptized into
Christ, isn't baptism simply a
command. I do MT want to ar
que on this. I am trying to make

are not the followers of Christ
because you are baptised for the

attention of Justice Harris for a
couple of days this week. A party
from Willmathville was prosecut-
ed because his child, fifteen
months old, had disturbed the
holiness meeting at that place by
running across the floor. More
than score of witnesses were
examined and after two days trial
the man was acquitted. The
cost which will probably reach
500, will have to be paid by the,
prosecuting witness, and should
teach him lesson in charity to-
ward little children. It is said
that the claim was only a pretext
to satisfy an old grudge.
