ABOUT the most remarkable hit OF successful
weather prophecy on record was that Of Professor
Foster, an Iowa meteorological. On the 10th OF Au-
gust he said:
One of the greatest storms OF 1856 will begin
next Monday and continue until Friday. A tropical
hurricane is booked for the South Atlantic Coast he
tween the 10th and 20th, to say nothing of general
storms OF rain and hail. tornadoes, and heavy gales
The storm began precisely as predicted. 1t ragged

| maryeOusy lucky guess Of Professor Fosters or
his prediction was based upon scientific principles
In either case II would do no harm II the War De-
partment, which is charged with the duty OF re-
porting the weather, would ascertain how the Iowa
man arrived at his conclusions.

The very attempts OF Secretary BayaTd TO
give some modern force and efficacy to the
consular and minor diplomatic ssrvics are
the means of revealing more painfully the
defects in that antiqualed machine. Solong
as II was suffered TO run along In the old
fashion, providing do.nothing berths for re-
tired politicians or wealthy men who wished
to command social recognition In foreign
parts, il attracted little notice. Only an oc-
cssional complaint from a victim Of disap-
pointed hopes in 1t, like Mr.. Luigi Months
book, or blast of ridicule, like Mr. Cox's
famous speech, for moment gained the pub
lie ear. Just now the case Ia different, and
the newspapers contain constant mention OF
the do,urs OF this or tha. consul, minister,
or charge d d'adaires, censure OF unit appoint
ments, commentator the difficulty OF OfObtaining
proper men TO serve, and other evidences OF
interest in the subject. II Is to bs hoped
that this will not die out until the service Ia
put ON a different basis. Contrasted with
that Of any OF the other great Powers, II be-
comes almost absurd, aud il Is no wonder
that It produces wild and wonderful results.
II may as we'll be said at once that the par
ticular need in this, as in other cases, is
more money. II Is useless TO look for quail
fed and desirable men TO accept the starva
tion salaries or still more preearious fees
at the majority OF consulates. Secretary
Bsysrd ought not TO DO blamed for failing TO
achieve the impossible. Nor will larger
salaries alone cure the evil. There should
bs fxity Of tenure Joined with an exact dis
cipline in the service; in other words, there
should be an organization similar to that Of
the Army or Navy. English consuls no,
only receive good pay, adequate to maintain
the dignity OF their positions, and proper
toned to the dithoulty or climatic danger OF
their posts, but after a certain term Of faith
ful service they are guaranteed a retiring
pension. II Is not alone the relative size
OF the national nayies, therefore. that makes
the English consul respected aud inhuen-
tial parsonage and his American cousin an
object often of contempt The Englishman
has the strongest indueenent TO become pro-
acient in his duties by the study OF Ian, Ian

Even the steady flow Of resolves from
Democratic conventions approving the ad-

complimentary as the frantic struggles OF
the Republican conventions to find some
thing to "arraign" or censure. In Massa-

not find chairman for its committee on reso-
lutions, probably on account Of the heavy
strain to be expected on his veracity and in

The appointment of General John Newton
as Commissioner of Public Works in New
York City, like the record of Colonel Ludlow
in Philadelphia, is one of the best answers to
the sneers about "West Point training" and
"Regular Army engineers" When affairs
get too bad under the sway of politics and
the spoils system it is the Regular Army
officer, with his high traditions of the honor
Of the service, that has to be called in. Thus.
with all the talk about the evils Of the River
and Harbor bill, there has never been any
charge that the funds were embezzled OF
misspplied after they reached the control oi
the War Department. The compliment to
General Newton in this case is not so consid-
cradle as the sacrifice lie has made in the in
terest of New York by accepting the ap-
pointment.

THE substitution of the Maynower for the Puritan
as the American champion in this years for the
America Cup gives some added zest of novelty to
the event. The accident to the Puritan In the last
and deciding race is not of such moment In view Of
the fact that several other tests have taken place
without accident, In which the Maynower seemed to
prove superiority, which, though slight, is conclu-
sive The explanation appears TO be simply that the
new soop Is the result OF years additional expe-
rience Of the designer Of the Puritan That splendid
craft has not lost her place In the affections OF the
public, and the Old stanza ought not to apply In this
case, that
"The painful warrior, famoused for fight,
After thousand victories, once foiled,
Is from the books OF honor razed quite
And all the rest forgot for which he toiled.n
Public opinion is now prepared for another vic-
tory for the Stars and Stripes, but in view OF the
proverblal uncertainty Of wind and wave it would
be well to be braced for possible disappointment.

There was a startling amount of war talk
over the incident Of the Cutting case, and 1t
had nothing to do with traditional hatred,
such as is supposed by some to exist toward
England. On the contrary, it seemed to be
the mere ebullition of the Gghting spirit
and discomfort with the tedium OF long
peace. This was in the face of the MANNED
survivors of the civil conflict less than a
generation ago and the big national debt still
testifying TO the wastes and burdens Of war.
II has significance for those who think a
great nation like this can safely be cooped
up by tariff almost prOhibitOry and a
laisse: faire policy In external affairs that
lets commercial rivals walk past US as they
please, while We try to get rich swapping
jack knives at home, with flood Of
very mixed immigration pouring in
on us. There must be an outlet TO
all the throbbing, accumulating energy psnt
up in our borders, or it tends toward the ex-
plosion Of war, careless whether 1t may re-
sult in thrashing weak opponent, like
Mexico, or getting thrashed by bigger one,
like Germany. Our young men ought to
have a field for their enterprise in foreign
commerce and in competing in the peaceful
rivalry of trade. commercial nation Ia too
busy TO lose time in wars unless on
trict compulsion or for some great cause.
