FRAscE's PROTEST.
New YoRK, Jan. Is, 1886.

NEw York, Jan. l6, 1886.
EDITOR Posr-INTzLIIoERcEB:
The attention Of Congress is called to
the fact that some Of the terrible loss
of life and property due to tornadses
can be averted. In 1882 Professor I. Il.
Maury asserted What was then the fact,
that the prediction Of tornado was q
triumph vet TO be attained by the science
of mcteorology. In less than two years
from that time some predictions of tor
nadoea we're successfully made by Lieut..
John +. Finley, Of the Signal Service.
The percentage OF verified predictions
is steadily increased by knowledge Of
the average conditions preceding each
series of torradoes, thus making the
predictions moro definite and local with
each succeeding year. Already the pre-
dictions OF safety for the day are effec-
tive. OF S2sS predictions unfavorable
to tornadoes, made in 1884. 1901 were
verified; and Of IS predistions that tor
nadoes would occur, made in April and
June. 1884. Is we're verified. OF 10 pre-
dictions that tornadoes would occur,
made In June and July, 1885, Is we're
generally verified. When torn adees
were predicted, In no instance did violent
storms fail to OCCUR, either hurricanes,
tornadoes or hail.
The failure Of some predictions 10
doubtless due 10 inaccurate and Insult.
cient reports from spsrsely settled re-
gions. While IL Is admitted that nothing
like absolute control Of these pheuom-
ens has been attained, yet the above
hgurcs clearly justify the presence Of
tornado signals either of safety or
danger At every telegraph station In
Kansas. Nebraska, Missouri. Illinois.
Iowa. OHIO. Michigan, Wisconsin. Geor
sia and North Csrelina, especially dur
ing April. May, jane. July, August and
September. 10 10 hoped that Congress
will direct the signal Services 10 submit
estimates Of the expense necessary TO
establish such system of signals. The
cost would be q few thousand dollars
for days or eolored discs and for teie-
graph service.

DAILY POST.INTELLIGEhCER
TaE DswSFsLl Of sALisBuKY.

The Salisbury ministry has met with
the fate which it, perfdy toward Ire
land invited. At the FIRST opportunity
Parneii and bis followers have shown
their power, and a. 3 result the ConsefT-
s.ives surrender the sftices % retain
which they have fought 80 desperately.
The victory Won in the Commons by
Gladstone and Psrneli, u seems. vas
not won over the Conservatives alone
bat over the Wing wing Of the Liberals
a. we'll. Gladstons's old time lieuien-
ant, the Marquis Of Harrington, ven
tured to break With his chief, and 80 a
result he is involved 10 the ruIu Of Sails
bury.
There are several things which the
vote in the Commons clearly demon
strates. The most important IA that
Gladstone has not lost his wonderful
hold on the Liberal party and that he IS
still able 70 carry the vast majority OF
it's members With him in any course
which he may choose. Scarcely less
important is the fact that Gladstone's
ssauneh followers combined with the
Parnellites are able 10 control the House
Of Commons, and that no government
unwilling to accept their views can eI-
let for any length OF time during the
life Of the present Parliament.
The perfidy on tbs part Of the Con
seryatives which has induced the Par
neIlites 10 seize this early opportunity
TO huri thea frog power, cannot be too
severely condemned. The Conservatives
undoubtedly owe their present strength
in the Commons to the Irishmen in
England, whose votes, according to in
s.ruotisns from Parnell. were cast en-
tirely for the Conservative candidates.
mad it not been for tkis aid, the Con
sentative vote would have been pitifully
small. Before the election Salisbury
and his lieutenants we're free enough in
their promises Of justice to Ireland, bat
as soon as the election was over these
fne promises we're utterly forgotten.
Salisbury evidently thought that Irish
men were good enough allies until after
the election, bat with the ballots once
cast, he lost no time In breaking the al
lance which had made possible his
retention In power. The revenge OF
Parnsll has been speedy and complete.
II Ia uncertain what the next move
will be. The Conservatives certainly
cannot remain in power. Gladstone,
on the other hand. will probably be 10th
to form q government whose tenure Of
power will depend upon the wishes OF
the Paruellites. II he does so, 10 may
be taken for granted that the object OF
his government will DO TO ooncede TO
Ireland tho Legislative Independence
which she 80 justly demands. 1t is pos
sibls that instead OF resigning Salisbury
will dissolve Parliament and once more
appeal to the people. 1t would be hard
on the politicians and voters TO DC
plunged into another canvass before
they have fairly recovered their breats
after the one Just closed, bat 1t Is not
unlikely that dissolution will be found
10 be the only way out of the pressn,
dilemma. In that case, this Parliament
will be the shortest In English history,
having existed scarcely longer than one
