APRIL WEATHER.

W. 7. Fosters forecasts of the
weather for April says: My last
letter gave dates of storm wave due
to cross the continent from 18th to
It'll. All the storm waves of this
month, as heretofore stated, will
show unusual energy because Of the
near approach of Saturn's equinox,
and from this the June storms of
1892 have passed ali~fhe storms will
develop more than average energy,
including some of the most destruc-
tive and dangerous that have oc-
Cured since 1882. Following April
6 the next disturbance will be due
to leave the Pacific coast about the
10th, pass the Rocky-Allegheny val
ley from 18th to 18th and reach the
Atlantic coast about the 14th. This
storm will close the ffty-second day
rain period which was due to set in
about April l. The general course
of this disturbance will be along the
10th degree of north latitude, but
the rainfall will principally be south
of that line. The cool wave follow
ing and the frosts will not be severe,
and will be confined to northern
latitude Another storm wave will
be due to leave the Pacific coast
about the 18th, cross the Rocky-Al-
legheny valley from 18th to 10Th
and reach the Atlantic coast about
the Goth. This storm will become
very dangerous on the Atlantic east
of New York city in about the longi-
tude of Labrador on April q, and
it will not be safe to be on that part
of the ocean at that time. At the
same time. April 81, a dangerous
storm will be off the coast of Alaska
southeast of Behring sea- On this
Continent this 18th to goth storm
will not be remarkable, but the
cool wave following it will probably
develop destructive frosts as far
south as the 36th degree. of north
latitude. The March storms were
almost continuous. I expect a great
food in the Missouri river during
April from excessive rains and melt
ing of the SHOWS in the mountains.

A LAMPAsAs correspondent of the
Galveston News says one of the sad
dest reflections of our progress and
prosperity, as people is the steady
decadence of the sense of justice,
and that with each succeeding gen
Grafton the sense of justice is be-
coming weaker. This may be SO, but
We can't see but the people of this
age are just as honorable, just as
considerate as that of any other
There were dishonorable men in all
ages, careless of the public veal and
unpatriotic, but history tells US
of the other kind, hence it is easy to
fall into the error of thinking that
there is less nobleness by such
comparison, than there was in de-
cades or centuries gone by. All the
good men are not dead; look around
thee friend and put on your optimis-
tic glasses instead of the pessimistic
ones and you will perhaps see much
good in Nazareth.

THE COLORADO AND TEXAS EX-

The Texas edition of the Colorado
and Texas Exchange Journal has
been received. 1t is the paper of
papers 1t contains 100 pages in
Guiding its handsome cover, all of
which is about Texas, its vast re-
sources, past present and prospec-
tive. Its illustrations are fine, its
write up is not of the State collec-

Importance in the State each article

IOWA DEMOCRATIC.

Iowa is now considered by the re-
publican party a doubtful state.
There is no use to attempt to DIS
guise this fact longer. When the
democracy carried that state in the
gubernatorial election better than a
year ago, the republicans regarded
it as mere matter of accident, due
largely to the fact that the candidate
for governor had at one time affiliated
with the republican party. How
ever, subsequent elections have
failed to substantiate this theory.
At the gubernational election in 1889
Boies, Democrat, received only $780,
120 votes, whereas in the congress
sional elections in 1890 the Demo-
cratic vote reached 194, S32, the high
est ever attained, and 1865 more
than Cleveland received for Presi-
dent-the democrats electing six of
the eleven representatives from that
State, and came near carrying three
other districts.
In the recent municipal elections
held in that State, the democracy
were again victorious to degree far
beyond their expectations, carrying
the elections in Iowa City, Burling-
ton and nearly every important town,
and leaving only few of the smaller
towns like Cedar Falls and Laporte
City in the Republican ranks. This
is good enough for a State which six
years ago ran up $4,000 Republican
majority and claimed to be the ban
ner Republican State of the Union.

CHANGING VEGETATION.

The growth of new plants in the
Andaman Islands, which have an
area of scarcely more than $500
miles and have been under scientific
observation since 1858, has been
studied by DR.. Prain, of Sibpur. He
finds that $40 indigenous species of
plants were known In 1866, and that
persistent search has since raised
the number to 900. In 1866 there
were Is Intentionally introduced
plants and 81 foreign weeds that
had become established as part of
the Andaman fora, and % more of
the first and Sc of the second had
been added by 1890. Since 1866
four OF the naturalized plants have
disappeared. The weeds are most
ly those common to India, and an
Indian butterfly has followed the
plant on which its larya feeds.
