Tire Practical value of State
Wsa:her Services.

The actual value of the State
" leather Services TO the people
of the country and to the Ma
tional Service has been clearly
demonstrated by the effective
work of the past year. All the
States where the services are in
operation fully appreciate the
benefits resulting therefrom.
and several States have given
the services permanent organI-
zation under enactments passed
by the Legislatures. while the
services in other States are at
present almost wholly support
ed by the Signal Service though
all expect that speedy action
will be taken by the States au-
thorities which will secure a
permanent and independent OF
ganizatioa, the chief object of
these services being to afford
facilities for the rapid and ex-
tended distribution of informa.
tion collected by the Sigma. Ser
vice. The record of the past
year shows that this object has
been fully realized bv the distri-
button of the daily indications,
cold wave warnings, etc, to
more than twelve hundred sta
tions which would not have re-
eeived these warnings had the
State service not been in ope-
ration.
The facility FIR the distrbu
ton of the Signal Service wealth
er indications is only one of the
numerous advantages resulting
from such organizations.
These advantages have heen
summarized by Prof Geo. III.
Cook, Director of the New Jer-
ssy Weather Service, as follows:
/. 1t will be the means of soon
securing better predictions of
weather changes and storms.
? II wall bring the benefits of
the Sign;.l Service of the Uni
ted States into every county in
the State.
3 II will soon prepare New

trains that will be widely bene-
fetal to agricultural interests.

PERSONAL JOURNALISM.
Biloxi Herald

The recent deplOrable trage
dy in Jackson brings irtO view
another and notable instance of
the dreadful result of a class of
jour nalists who were in bye
gone days only too common in
the wild South west. Adventn.
reTs then, as they are how,
backed by n fourth late printing
press, and armed with n pen.
they sought nOtOriety and a cir
culaiion by impuguIns the mo
tives and assaIlIng the chsrac-
tiers of the noblest and bravest
and best. To call them fanatics
is an insult To fanaticisIn. \ IA

tain degree of respect. but the
miserable creature who for sci.
fish ends violates all the rules OF

Freedom of speech and free.
dom of the press are the piladi
nms of liberty. But between
liberty and license there is a
broad aud clear distinction.
The official conduct o men in
Office may be, and Ought to be
fully criticised by the press. bu,
their private characters are not
any more the subject of assail
ment than that of any other in.
dividual, and any assault % that
should meet the severest con
demnation.
Take the simple facts leading
to the terrible tragedy in the
city OF jackson, which resulted
in the death OF that noble aud
chivalrous gentleman, General
Writ Adams, aud Mr. John III.
Martin, editor of the New Mis-
sissippian.
General Adams was called as
a witness in the case of Jones
s. Hamilton, to testify as TO his
general character. After the
testimony the New Mississippi
an began an assault on the Gen
erals character, and in one ar
ticle insinuated that General
Adams needed a certificate as
to his. own character, and in
another connected his name
with notorious Beeress who
had testified in the case.
Cuder the first assault Gene
raj Adams was silent, and only
after their repetition did he
deign to notice the ISLANDERS of
the newspapers. and then came
the tragedy that brought deep
grief aud sorro to thouss nds
of hearts.
Are the methods of journal
lists, which bring such results TO
be tolerated in a civilized com
nunity Ii not. what is the
