The Weather Bureau was formally trans
ferred ON the LIST instant from the War De-
partment to the Agricultural Department,
pursuant to an act of Congress passed at the
last session. It is TO be hoped that Secretary
Rusk will manage it more successfully than
Gen. Greedy did, for the weather predictions
were as often wrong as right. There are gen
tlemen fully competent for this service if they
were called to perform it. Rev. Irl Hicks,
of St. Louis, Mo-, has evinced a surprising
aptitude for it. and wonderful accuracy that
is very rarely at fault. With such man at
the head of it the Weather Bureau would be
eminently useful, and something more than
mere haphazard prediction.
The chief reason for the change, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, seems to have been
that, having provided for Department Of
agriculture, it has been found necessary to
give it something to do. 1t is quite likely
that the work for a time, at leost, will go on
very much as usual. At all events, no
climatic change is to be apprehended from
the transfer from, one department to another
of observers who simply tell us what the
weather conditions are, or have been, and
guess, with more or less data upon which to
found their guesses, what the state of the
weather is to be in given places.

Not Responsible.

The Democratic party is not responsible
for any law that is grinding to labor, oppres'
sve to agriculture or burdensome to the peo-
ple generally. 1t has been out Of power fol-
thirty years, during which time it elected but
one President, aud he was embarrassed and
hindered by Republican Senate.
But for the Democratic party the govern
ment would be an ideal Republican one, with
a large standing army, an expensive navy, a
federal election law, admin stored by Repub'
lican partisans, partisan Judiciary from the
highest to the lowest courts; state lines would
be practically obliterated and the present
states be counties of one great central gov
eminent: there would be favored classes, to
whom the masses would have to pay tribute,
&c.
The Republican idea is that the people
were made for the government, not that the
government was made for the people. Twice
has the party tried to take the right to elect
their own representatives from the people, by
attempting to pass federal election bills, COM
monty called Force bills, and the strengthen
ing of the army has been several times in
sisted upon. The party attempted to build a
navy, but the schemes eventuated i'll Jobs
only When the Supreme Court declared
against the legality of the greenback money
issue, the number of judges was increased
and partsans appointed who could be de-
pended upon to uphold Republican schemes.
Classes are being created by an odious, bur
densome and unconstitutional tax system, and
the people denied the natural right TO buy in
the cheapest market and sell in the dearest.
The Republican policy of protection rever-
SEES this and compels the people to sell in the
cheapest market and buy i'll the dearest.
But for Democratic resistance there would
today be an ideal Republical government
strong, oppressive and even more extravagant.
That party has strenuously resisted every de-
parture from the lines ofthe constitution, and
every reform that has been inaugurated has
been wrung from the ruling party by Demo
cratic pressure.
When the ills of bad government are felt,
let the responsibility be placed where 1t be
longs.

Pennsylvania Politics.


With Quay, the known delaulter and
Spectator, maintaining himself in the most
conspicuous place in the party organization
not only in the State but in the nation,
calmy defying the leaders of his party-to
raise hand against him, keeping up the
most intimate relations with the White
House, negotiating the distribution of patron
age with Mr.. Harrison, and openly taking in
charge the procurement Of Harrison dele.
CATION from Pennsylvania to the next national
convention, how can honest Republicans feel
any security as to when and where the next
blow shall fall? 1t is plain that this man is
able to dictate terms to the most prominent
leaders of the party. How can he do it? What
is his hold upon them? Why do they not
dare to throw him over? No man such as
Mr.. Harrison claims to be willingly tolerates
the dietation of known scoundrel He
cannot do it; he knows that he cannot with
out fatally compromising himself, without
losing the confidence and respect of decent
men. Is it fear or is it the hope of advantage
that induces him tamely to submit to this
humiliation? Reformers within the party
who must ask such questions and can find no
answer for them may well be timid.

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
Chairman Brice Urges the Formation
of Democratic Societies.

Calvin S. Brice, Chairman of the National
Democratic Committee, has written the fol
lowing letter to the Chairmen Of State Com,
mittees
National Democratic Cdmmittee-New
York, July l, 1891 dear Sir: The impor
lance of immediate preparations for the pres
idential campaign of next year must be OBJ
vious to every Democrat. The timely and
energetic conduct of cur opponents would
be warning enough if there were no other
reason for it. 1t is evident that they expect
decisive results upon their extensive and we'll
organized system of Republican clubs. 1t
will be sustained by money without stint,
drawn from the pockets of benefcaries of
the monopoly policy maintained by that party.
1t can be met only by an equally extensive
and well organized system of Democratic So
cieties. The latter is more appropriate TO our
purpose, since it was the first organization of
the Democratic party in the United States,
and was the instrument of agitation and de-
tense employed by the fathers of the Demo-
cratic party in the great struggle in resistance
| TO federalism and the restoration of constitu-
tional government. 1t is earnestly recon-
mended that every official in the regular or
ganzation of the Democratic party will see
that everything possible within his jurisdiction
shall be done to aid and encourage it. | de-
sire to call your attention to the work, now
in course Of successful accomplishment by
/ the executive committee of the National
/ Association of Democratic Clubs, and TO say
that their plan has been submitted to and
meets approval of the national committee.
| The selection of correspondents under this
! plan is of the greatest Importance, and under
this date | have written to the member
of the national committee from your State,
| asking him to communicate with you al
once, so that the proper selections may be
made. The plan cannot in any way interfere
with State organizations, and on the con
trary, proposes intimate cooperation with
the State committees, as well as with the
national committee. 1t has met with unpre
cedeuted success in other States. Trusting
that you will give this matter your favorable
and prompt attention. Yours respectfully,
! CALVIN S. BRIcE,
Chairman National Democratic Com.

the lower Rhine district. where it appeared as
tornado. The Rifemens Hal at Crcleld was lifted
from its foundations and carried clean away. The
circus was blown over, and pavilions were dam
aged and their contents wereshattered. The effects
of the storm were still worse in the neghborhood
of Suechtein. Houses were overthrown, trees were
uprooted and many cattle were killed, and besides
much damage was done to chimneys and roofs.
he total damage is estimated at $4,000 The in
habitants who took shelter in Easements or in
open escaped with slight injuries, as did workmen
buried in kins. At the village of Aurath scarcely
a house spared, 40 being destroyed totally and
man being killed. The damage is $4,000
At Brunswick the storm assumed the proportions
offs cyclone, and the inhabitants report last night
being of the most terrible in their experience

As the time approaches to nominate a
candidate for Governor it begins to look as
though the nomination of Hon. Frank Brown
would be unanimous. If any of the counties
should not declare in his favor they will
probably regret, in the end, that they had not
done so in time to save them from position
of sineularity.
