CIRCULAR No. ,.
The circular extensively published few
weeks ago has created much interest in
this service and there is need for further
exposition OF its purposes.
It's organization Is undertaken at the
request Of the Chief Signal Officer U. S.
A.
Its main objects are to aid the u. S.
Signal Service in distributing as widely as
possible its weather forecasts and to coll
lect all the data regarding the weather in
various parts of the State.
We hope that arrangements can be made
by which all the important towns in the
State may obtain daily weather forecasts !;
and thus be benefited by the results worked
out by the L. S. Signal Service
We want at least one observer in each
county who viii keep regular record Of
the temperature and rainfall, and when
practicable, OF the wind-force, humidity.

NCDoNALD's OMNIBUS SILENCE.

the Indiana Democracy, has the follow.

We have no hesitancy IN laying at Mr.. Cleye

which has evertaken the party in the loss OF Con,
gressmen IL sustained last Tuesday. We may LOOK
upon the result as rehuNe tie has done all hs
colild % destroy the party organization. lie has
chilled the honorable ambition Of young men and

these things he has incurred only their dssztis
faction, but the contempt OF all manly Republicans
SIR. Cleveland must either prove himself Demo
crat in the remaining years Of his administrators
or prepare 70 mcei emphatic reputation by his
party.
Senator Mcdonald was in Washington
when the foregoing article appeared, and
was asked if it embodied the views Of
the Democrats of Indiana. He replied
that he did not care to discuss the ques
ton az to why the Democrats of his
State were unsuccessful in the recent
election, but added that the tariff had
nothing to do with it.
The Alexandria, Virginia, Sentinel, q
staunch organ OF Democratic opinion,
referring to the loss Of Eve Congressman
in that State, says:
The result Of the elections last Tuesday. while
generally disheartening to all good Democrats Is
not az all surprising. The effective portion of the
Democratic party Is composed OF good and true
Democrats, and that sort OF Democrats have no adj
mirati0n for Mugwump measures. aud ne use fo1

nominees who defeated for Congress were not

that BY supporting them they would be- supporting
the administration. and that they were unwilling
to do. The vote served notice upon the National

IL view of the reduced Democratic
majority in the next House and the
necessity of discreet and skillful leader
ship, it has been suggested that Mr..
Carlisle will render more valuable SER
vice to his party and the country, on
the floor than in the Speakers chair
that it is easier to find presiding officer
than skillful parliamentary leader and
debater. Nothing but Mr.. Carlisle's
own choice will settle the question. His
mastery ability and strict impartiality
as presiding officer, win secure him the
Democratic nomination, unless he elect
to take his place on the floor and to serve
as Chairman of the Committee on Ways
and Means and leader of the Democratic
forces. In which event a good Speaker
could be selected in the person of Cox,
of New York, Springer, of Illinois, or
Rlount of Georgia.

Woods and T. P. Buckley, each owning
an interest in a remnant of a stock Of
goods. sold the same to one L. n Kiser
under an agreement that Riser should
pay the purchase money out of the pro.
eeeds of the sale of the goods, which was
to be disposed of by Kisefein the regular
course of business at retail. SimuIta-
neous with this sale, kiser executed a
deed Of trust TO r. B.Pratt, a. trustee.
to secure the payment of the purchase
money. Riser proceeded with the bush
ness but failed to expose any sign over
his store with his own name thereon.
On September Il, 1885, G. S. Dodds
caused an execution to be levied on this
stock of goods bought by kiser, under
judgment rendered in his favor against
kiser. Sometime before the execution Of
the above deed of trust, 4. ID. Pratt,
trustee in the deed OF trust, appeared,
fled aclaimant j affidavit and replevined
the goods AT the time of filing, the
conditions in the deed of trust had not
