When the daily weather charts are

the barometer Is unsteady-the mercury
moving up and down in the tube-during

this oscillation of the mercurial column

FOrecastlng these storms is, therefore, al
ways an uncertain and thankleSS task, for
local success Is rarely attained. Among
the earliest SYMPTOMS of the approach of a
thunder strom is the appearance on the
western horizon of line of camulus (wool

some westerly point. This bank of clouds
moves on, and over it appear first stream
ers and then sheets of lighter upper cloud
over the sky with extreme rapidity. The
heavy cloud mass comes up under this

no electrical exposition or downfall
of rain ever takes place unless
streamers of cirrus, emanating from its
upper surface, are visable when the cloud
is looked at sideways from a distance.

The Vital Point in the Race Question.

What is the cause of this condition of the
negro race in the United States, which
their power and political influence has not
been able to remove, but has )nIy aggravat-
ed? The answer is recorded in the home
history of every white family in the United
States. The negro race cannot be lAade
homogeneous with the white race. 1t is
the abh0rrenCe that every white woman in
our country feels towards the marriage of
her son or daughter with negro that
gives the final and conclusive answer to
this question. Wealth, character, abilities.
accomplishments. and position have no et-
feet to modify this aversion of the white
woman to a negrO-marital alliance. Men
may yield to such considerations, or to
Others of baser sort; but the SHOWS will
fall from heaven i'll sooty blackness. sooner
than the white woman of the United States
will consent to the maternity of negro
families. 1t will come more and more the
pride of the men of our race to resist anv
movement, social or political, that will pro-
mote the unwelcOme intrusion of the negro
race into the white family circle
This is the central and vital point in the
race question. If the negroes. being our
equals in political privileges, could be alb
sorbed into our race, as equals there would
be no obsticle to our harmonious and bene-
fcent association, in this free country, but
neither laws, nor any form of cOnstraint
can force the doors to our homes and seat
them at our tiresides Senator J. I. Nor
