The Cradle of the Blizzard.

Where is the billiards. cradle-its
homel
The Arctic regions. The papers talk
about a blizzard having started from
Manitoba, but that is not its hOme-its
starting point Manitoba is only its half
way house.
"Why do billiards come by way of
Manitoba, and make themselves most felt
upon the west side of the Mississippi
rivera Why do we never hear of billiards
in Canada, New England and the Middle
States!"
Because the Laurentian range of noun
tains stretches westward from Labrador
along the southern line of British America
5000 miles, skirting the north side of
Lake Superior, ard tapering out in north
eastern Minnesota, furnishing a pro-
tecting wall of solid rock 4, 200 feet high
against billiards for all the region south
of it. Biologists tell US that this range
is formed of the oldest silurian or seci-
mentary rock to be found upon the
globe, and that il extends 10000 feet
below the surface.
From northeastern Minnesota to the
Rocky Mountains is an open treeless
plateau-a great doorway one thousand
miles wide, through which the ice king
rushes. From that line southwark is, in
in the main. the same treeless prairie all
the way to the Gulf of Mexico, forming
west of the Mississippi river the royal
tobOggan slide, 5000 miles long, upon
which his ice crowned majesty, the
blizzard. sweeps in all his jeweled robes
TO swOon in the arms of the tropical sun.
The Texas northcr is only the frayed
fringes of the blizzard kings mantle as
he whirls past Atlanta Constitution.

think the following facts will be Ct interest
In showing that James Steel of lT1G was the
father of James Steel OF 1873:
James Steel. the well.known surveyor. was
born in Philadelphia in lT74 His father, James
Steel. together with brother Thomas emigrat-
ed to this country from Scotland, some time be.
fore the Revolution, and settled in Philadelphia
lie was an earnest and jealous patriot He pos
sOssed considerable means aud contributed liber-
ally to the struggling colonies. During the early
years of the conflict probably In l77j, he removed
TO Hartford county, where he purchased farm ad.
Joining or near the state line. His interest and
zeal in the cause of liberty would OF course re-
main undated, notwithstanding this change OF
residence.
This is without doubt the same Jane Steel
whom we find in 1910, as ensign in Capt. Nc
ComAs' Company, expressing an ardent desire
to serve his country in this time OF immediate
danger" in the capacity OF Capt. or Lieut.. 10 a
company OF regulars about to be raised. His
son, James Steel. possessed the same patriotic
spirit. together with a wholesome dislike for the
British. This was evinced by his brave conduct
at Havre de Grace in 1913. He was sometimes
styled Col Jam Steel. | suppose on account
Of his participation in the war of 1872 III. He
was very prominent as a surveyor in Har-
ford and YORK counties.
In 1915 he was appointed to survey the division
line, when Peach Bottom township was erected
from part of Fawn.
The Legislature OF Maryland in 1929 appointed
James steel and Stephen Boyd commissioners,
on the part of Hartford county, to locate the
boundary line between Hartford and Cecil coun-
ties. He served many years as q Justice OF the
peace He represented Hartford twice In the
Legislature. He died in 1891 the 10th year OF his
age.
Thomas Steel. brother of James Steel, ST., soon
followed him from Philadelphia and located on

The Washington Post
FOR 1888.
Published every day ia The year at The
Post Building. Pennsylvania Ave
STILSON HUTCHINS, Proprietor
WALTER STILSON HTTCHINS. Editor.

The Post is now the leading newspaper at the
National Capital and the only morning journal
worthy of the name. 1t is an organ of conserva-
tive public sentiment, an earnest and Industrious
advocate of every form of material progress a
careful and discriminating critic of the affairs of
State, and wlthai complete compendium of the
important happenings of the day. As n news
paper pure and simple 1t has never besn equaled
in Washington.
1t is Democratic in all things. 1t believes in
the principles OF the party which is represented
in the Administration OF President Cleveland
and during the year to come it will give that Adj
ministration its earnest, fixed and flrm support
In the event of Mr.. Clevelands denomination by
the Democracy it vii! advocate his reelection
with all its might.
But The Post is in no sense a Democratic organ
and it does not assume either to speak for or to
dictate to the pnrty in power. Its conviction
that the country is safest in Democratic hands is
the result of its strong belief in the principles
laid down at the foundation of the Government
by Thomas Jefferson, and continued TO this day
by Jackson, Tiden, and Cleveland. When Dem
ocratic leaders in Congress or in the country at
large depart from the path which lies straight
before them, TIE Post will not fail to repudiate
them and all their works beside.
Thegreat controlling issue of the Presidential
contest of 1883 is the reduction OF the Treasury
Surplus through prompt and complete revision
of tariff duties. The Government is collecting
yearly from the people one hundred millions of
dollars more than 1t needs or can use in any le-
climate way. This money must be relinquished
to the people and the revenue laws which stand
in the way must he in large measure revised and
repealed. To effect this reform is the sacred
duty of the party which now controls the House
OF Representatives. 1t is a task which can neith-
err be evaded nor ignored.
The Democratic party has it in its power to
score its greatest victory in the November cleo
tons of the new year. Its record is stainless and
its policy Is statcsmanlke, patriotic and thor
oughly American. But II must be true to itself
and true to the principles which it has Inherited
with its name.
it's The Posts ambition to help this promise to
its fulhlment, and good Democrats everywhere
should help us. Now Is the time to subscribe:
