Senator Gorm1n's speech at the Harlem
Democratic Club festival contains the
following terse declaration that is worth
keeping in sigh, because it is a recognized
doctrine that is becoming stronger every
day by the trial Of popular common sense.
1.-THE Republican party has maintained
a system of taxation so adjusted as to
produce a surplus of revenue, and II has
tended to create monopolies, and has
thus impoverished the many to subsidize
the few. The Democratic party insists
that all taxation shall be limited 10 the
requirements OF economical government,
but that in any reduction Of taxes TO be
made it shall be 50 arranged AS not to ia.
jure any domestic industry, but will he re-
gardful Of the labor and capital involved

Chief Signal Officer General Greely's
report is interesting 10 anybody who
talks about the weather. Though the
elaborate system of military signals has
been oversliadoNed by the Meteorological
Department, it is proposed now to en-
dcsyor to keep pnce with the improve
ments adopted in the armies Of other
countries. The plan of limiting predict.
ions to States, instead of larger areas, has
been found advantageous. During 1888
it is designed to furnish the great centres
of population with special cold wave pre-
dictions which will be of practical service
TO the people. The increase of The period
covered by predictions to thirty.two
hours has naturally resulted in some de-
crease of the percentage of veriication,
The diminution amounting to 7 per cent
The administration ia its anxiety TO re.
form the abuses in allowing officers to stay
for long periods in Washington has
caused many of the experienced weather
experts to be ordered 10 their commands,
and thus the predictions have not been
as correct az formerly. The improve
ment In the service lately, however, JUS
liies restored confidence in the bureau
as soon as The new officers acquire the
proper degree of experience.
