THE hustle is one of the things by
means of which art gets the bulge on
nature.
In the consideration Of the Senate
tariff bill last week vote was taken
on proposition to put coal on the
free list. Senator Faulkner voted
against it, and in the discussion pre-
ceeding tho vote made speech earn
estly approving Of the duty of IS
cents ton.
"THE Senate is not yet organized
and no business has been transacted
by. the Legislature. How are the
taxpayers pleased with the idea Of
paying $500 per day because the Re-
publican Senate refuses to organize
itself and proceed with the business
for which the Senators wese elected?
1t is the first time in the history of
the State that such outrageous and
disgraceful proceedings have been
exhibited without a reason and with
out purpose. Berkeley Springs
Neaos.
The Senate is organized. Very
excited over that $500 per day. Have
you forgotten the wrangle in your
own party two years ago in the Leg
islature, for which the Taxpayers
were unjust taxed? Even had to
calllssa extra session. People will
forget faults soon-when they will
fully committee them themselves.

"Some of the enthusiastic Repub-
licans who are urging John S. Wise
for a Cabinet position, seem to have
forgotten that he is the son of that
awfully bad man who hanged John
Brown. Can it be that traitors are
thus to be rewarded Terrible Pr
VaIleg SPIRIT.
Yes, rewarded, but not as trail
tor. That line was wiped out when
Lee surrendered. Republicans are
generous and just. The croakings
and raking aside of the ashes that
cover the Goals, come from other
quarters. Wise is scholar, a gen.
tleman and Republican. Possess
ing these three cardinal principles of
success, he is above being a traitor,
and worthy of any position in the
gift of the party. 1t is terrible to
the un-reconstructed to see spirit
of forgiveness abroad in the land.

To the Editor of The Appeal
The road leading from the city TO Ger
mantown was last year graded and gray
eled from the old four.mle toll gate ON the
boulevard to the residence of the present
Chairman OF the County Court, Squire
Slaughter, and will here mention that
great deal of credit and many thanks are
due him from the people living on il ior
the energy and perseverance exhibited in
accomplishing the work. Now, II We all
lived within q stones throw OF the worthy
Sources home aud beautiful surroundings
we/would have no complaint 10 make, ~
the road thus far is all u man could desire
it being one Of the best pike roads lead
ing from the city, but, rs many
others, we live miles aud miles
beyond, consequently have u very
serious complaint TO make OF the
miserable condition the public roads are
now in, aud have been so for the past
eight months. The telegraph and tclo-
phone poles along this road are leaning
and obstructing the highways for miles,
and the owners OF thee poles go arm in
arm with the county officials IN neglect
! ing the peoples rights. IL is about timc

probably il will add greatly 20 the interest
OF those who live out OF the city low

We did think that after the County Court
took charge aud appointed the oycrsecrs
there would be something done, but ~
sufficient time has now passed aud the
roads still remain ~ old and impossible in
wet weather, the only chance We have TO
better matters 10 through the Grand Jury.
| The majority Of the oycnccr whom the
County Court appointed are no doubt in
competent ard do not know the first prn-
ciple Of road making, and moreover thosJ
who have been appointed have not beer
officially notified Of the fact, am told.

WISE" wIGGINS.
The Professors Predictions for Six
Months in Advance.

The Professors Predictions for Six
Months in Advance.
MONTREAL, Ontario, May S-Proi Wig
gins's prophetic soul has broken loose again,
and he issues today long prophecy as to
the weather mankind on the continent
north OF Tennessee is going to experience
during the coming summer. The Profess
sor this time says:
81 do not want this to be taken as a
guess at the meteorological conditions OF the
next six months. 1t is merely the result
of my observations, and my conclusions
are TO my satisfaction, at least, as near as
mortal ever came to foretelling the weather
with all the aids that science and scientific
education can give one"
Then he launches out as follows:
"Therc is no doubt whatever that we
shall have hot summer; in fact, for steady
dryness and heat / think few summers
will equal it. We will have very little
rain, and what little we do get win come
from northerly point. ! mean by that,
that 1t will come from the points between
north, northeast and northwest. The old
time thunder storms, upsetting towns,
tearing down trees and uprooting houses
with their accomplishments Of heavy gusts
OF wind, and which usually come from the
south. southeast or southwest will not be
prevalent this year. This conclusion is
arrived at from the fact that | have been
watching things pretty closely this year,
and with my data and my system | am
| enabled to say with fair posiliveness that
whatever rains do fall will come from n
northerly direction. The season will be
remarkable for its heat and dryness. They
will set in pretty soon, much too soon,
am afraid, for tbs good OF the farmers and
humanity in general, and when they do
come they will come t. stay
some time. The North Atlantic
Ocean will get heavy rainialls, but these
falls, though an encouraging sign at first
glance, will not, in my opinion, disperse
| themselves over the continent. The rapid
extension OF the telegraph systems has
much TO do with local storms. Any one
wire extended upward is fully sufficient TO
dispersc any accumulation OF electricity in
the atmosphere. OF course when n storm
does come cities suller more than the out
lying portions, for the telegraph wires act
rs conductors and run all tho electricity
into the cities. This year, however, ! do
not look for any great electrical disturb.
ances, but II is just possible that the long
continued dry weather may break up with
terrific storm, or series of storms, from
the north, but | assure everybody that
what rain does come will come from q
northern point and no other and the
weather OF this kind will prevail all oycl
the continent north OF Tennessee.
