EASTER WEATHER.
Ii Rained Yesterday and What as a
Consequence May BE Expected for
seven SunGaNr

1t didn't rain much Sunday, but it
rained all the same, and the consequence
is that rain may DE expected for seven
Sundays, if the long respected law holds
good.
The Davenport Democrat prints mum
Der of old superstitions or saws, in this
connection among which are these:
As it rains in March, so it rains in
June.
Dust in March brings grass and foliage.
Rain in March, poor harvest.
A bushel of March dust is worth a
kings ransom.
A dry Lent. fertile year.
If weather is not clear on Palm SUNDAY
it means bad year. 1t wasn't clear
March wet and windy
Makes the barn full and fudy
March damp I'D warm
VIII do the farmer much harm
The latter promise looks little more
hopeful, as does another one which saws
that rain OF Good Friday forebodes a
fruitful year"
The weather prophet figures out that 1t
will rain every sunday during April,
whether Foster says so or not. If Foster
doesn't agree with US We cant help il.
For Good Friday was mean, drlzzly dsy,
and We are told that 'as the Friday, so
the Sunday, and again, IT e last Sunday
in March ind Gates the weather for the
month" The outlook for the farmers is
dubious, for
A wet Good Friday and wet Easter day
Makes plenty Of grass bat very little hay.
And in the words of another aged saw:
Rain on Easter gives slim fodder. In
the same line is the promise. IF fair
weather from Easter to Whitsuntide, the
butter will be cheap"

ArbOr Day.

April III is the day set apart BY the
president as'Arbor Day, in other words,
the day upon which all people are re-
9uested to set out young trees wherever
they have vacant spotof ground. How
beautiful would our fertile country be-
come ii all would but follow and obey
these wise instructions. The enlighten-
ed nineteenth century folk are very
prone 10 look with pity and contempt
upon tie native of far away heathenish
India, but these low. half caste penple
set all the remainder of the world g.
priceless example if it would but be fol
lowed. One may travel hundreds of
miles along the highways Of that country
and he will see at frequent intervals eth
er peach, pear or plum tree. In the
proper season these are loaded down with
choice fruit that the poorest wanderer
may gather and eat if he 30 desires. A
certain noted traveller took notice of this
fact. and also that when ever a native
would eat peach the stone was carefully
cleaned and placed in his pocket, and the
moment he came to spot where there
were no trees, stop would be made and
with bis hands or sharpened stick would
Dig hole in the soft soil and bury the
seed which he would carefully cover over.
Such habit as this has proven of meal
eulable value 10 the poor of that country
Let all plant trees of some sort when
"Arbor Day" comes and improve and

In communication from Brigham City
in yesterdays Tribune, dated June 30,
signed G. giving an account of Democra-
tic meeting, the following language was
quoted: dyer, NoRRELL and NOZZLE
were here Saturday, and denounced the
editor of the Tribune, calling him among
other things, pauper." This is only one
more specimen of the bsrefaced misrepre-
sensations which the Tribune's correspond
enss resort to to bolster up the Liberal
cause. While it is true that Judge NoRRELL
and Judge GOODWIN have had some personal
differences and have said many bitter
things about each other, and it is true that
Judge NoRRELL made some references to
Judge GOODWIN the night in question, that
were not complimentary, 20 put it mildly,
yet Mr.. NOZZLE did not on that occasion
mention him, and so far as Mr.. DYER is
concerned he has never uttered word to
which the editor of the Tribune could take
any exceptions. On the contrary he has
many times referred to him personally in a
complimentary way. While Mr.. DYER
criticises the position of the Tribune as an
inconsistent one, he has not thus far in
dulged in any personalities whatever. Cor
respondents should be instructed to tell the
truth and leave to the editorial department
whatever comment may be demanded.

THERE'S A MILLION IN 1T.

In the next pending election for major
ity membership in the school board the
issue will be between the people and the
bosses.
The people say in effect: We do not care
whether the board of education consists OF
Democrats, or Republicans or Liberals, SO
long as it consists Of honest men who will
keep in view the best interests Of our chill
dren and never carry their politics into the
schoolroom.
The bosses, on the other hand, reason
thus: There will be million dollars dis
bursed in the public schools during the
year. Let Us get our tools i'll Office, and we
will then have the benefit of all this wealth
and the patronage to be derived therefrom.
1t will be mighty convenient thing to have
at our command just now.
AS q matter Of policy the bosses may
agree upon respectable set of
candidates for the school board,
but the fact that these men, if
elected, would be under obligations to the
bosses. renders the best Of them dangerous
to the puolic veal.
Human nature Is the same, after all, and
when a man owes his Office to a boss he is
very apt to do q good turn for him when
ever that boss demands it. And the boss
means to demand it in this case
1t is safer to owe no individual any pow
er, but to get all authority from the source
Of power, which is the people.
We might as well make up our minds now
as ever TO the main question involved in the
election of school members. 1t is this {:
Shall the people, or shall Boss POWERS
control the school board. whose duty in
wolves nothing except the best education Of
our children.

OLIVER T. MORTON, a son Of the late
Senator OLIVER p. MORTON, and a promi-
nent Republican Of Indiana, was inter
viewed by Star reporter in Washington,
the other day, and this is how the converse
ton ran: "Do you think HARRISON could

THAT is thing that cannot be told at this

was before his election,.' There is neces-
sarily some disappointment attending the
distribution of ra.ronage." lyon say that
HARRISON is no stronger than his party in
Indiana. Do you think GRESHAM is." Mr..
MORTON hesitated about replying to this,
but finally said, ITO be frank, l think he
is. Judge GRESHAM has lost none Of his
strength in the state, and, perhaps, has
gained considerable"

ENGLAND WILL KEEP OUT.

We have heard it often claimed before
that an Anglo German alliance existed,
and in the last days of BIsMARCK's reign
his son HERBERT tarried in London for the
alleged purpose of winning England over
to the triple treaty between Germany, Aus
tria and Italy. Now that Emperor WILL
LAM himself is visiting his royal grand
mother at Windsor Castle the re-
port to the same effect is revived, and
probably with the same degree Of truth.
We do not believe that the government
of Great Britain would dare joining any en-
tsngling alliance. The people wouldn't al
low it. OF course the sympathies of the
Queen are with her German kinsmen and
the German Emperor's eye rests admir-
ingly upon the British navy. but
Queens and Emperors 10 longer
conclude alliances in England. And
the government that should advise any
such step would be swept out of power as
If by whirlwind.
The fact is that England has positively
nothing to gain in war between the CONT
mental powers, and what would be the use
of forming or joining coalition except for
just such an emergency. Commanding as
she does the gateway to the Mediterranean,
owning the Suez canal, her main interest
o-day is on the Bosphorus, and this she
can maintain better by preserving a
guarded neutrality.
England and Germany have recently
been engaged in an immense land trade,
the former surrendering Heligoland to the
Germans in exchange for an Immense area
of African territory. What right, except
that OF land-grabber, Germany had to
this African possession, is not clear, but
no matter. England took it off her hands
and paid for it handsomely in one Of the
most commanding strategic points in the
German sea. This shows that her appe-
tite for colonial dominion is not yet satiated.
She is anxious to devour still more And
to hold on to what she has, England may
need her immense fleet and her immense
resources at any time in direction where
the Dreibund would not avail her much,
say in an Indian uprising or in another
Soudan war.

Poultry Farm.

Fred Brockman has decided to sat
isfy himself whether or not a poultry
farm in this section will pay. He is
now engaged in raising all kinds of
fancy and market fowls and is attempt
ing to work up a market along the
short line from here to Pocatello. He
has had price lists printed at this office
and has sent them to all railroad
towns in this part Of Idaho. He is
prepared to supply any of them with
spring chickens, Hens, ducks, geese,
and turkeys on short notice also any
kind of vegetables now on the market.
We predict success for him in this line
of business as there is no reason why il
should not flourish. People want
chickens to eat and the farmer cannot
be depended upon to bring them tc
market.
