FOSTERS MARCH PRoGNosTICA-
TONS.

W. T. Foster, of st. Joseph, Mo.
says: March storms are usually of
more force than those of other
months because the equator of the
earth is then toward the sun and
the electric influences thrown of
over the earth's equator is the more
active because it is in direct contact
with the sun and moves from the
earth to the sun. There will be two
special though not very great storm
periods in March, one bout the 9Th
and the about the 26, the former
most severe in the Eastern states
and the latter in the West. The
first of these storms will be due to
leave the Pacific coast about the 9th.
cross the Rocky-Alleghena valley
from 18th to 9th and reach the East
ern states about the 10th. On the
10th and 18th this storm viii be
dangerous along the Atlantic coast
from Massachusetts to Labrador.
This storm will probably divide as it
passes the Mississippi valley, one
part passing through the Southern
and the other through the Northern
states. About that time very rapid
and sudden changes may be expected
Il the weather.

The direct tax bill has finally
passed the senate and now goes to
the President for his signature.
The provisions of the bill are sub
stantially that the secretary of the
treasury shall credit each state and
territory and the District of Colum
bia with a sum equal to all collec-
tons by set off or otherwise made
under the direct tax act of 1861.
That all moneys due the United
States under the requirements of
that act are remitted. A sufficient
sum Of money to reimburse the
states and territories for all coilec-
lions under the direct tax is appro-
priated, to be paid when the various
legislatures shall have accepted the
sums in full satisfaction of all
claims against the United States on
account of the levy. The money ap-
propriated to meet individual
claims is to be held in trust by the
state authorities, six years being al
lowed for the reception of these
claims. Payment is also to be made
to owners of lands in st. Helena and
st. Luke's parishes, in South Caro-
lima, that were sold under the opera
lions of the direct tax act. The to-
tai amount to be refunded amounts
10 SIS, 227, 632.03, of which amount
Texas will get S160,441.51.

The minority report on the silver
bill IN congress says I'VE have
no doubt of the ability of the Uni
ted States to establish and maintain
a doubled standard even without
European co operation. and it is
predicted that if the United States
adopted free silver coinage it would
receive support from the principal
nations of the old world. In con-
clusion the report expresses a firm
belief that a complete restoration of
silver will inure TO the best interests
of the country.

THERE are doubtless some expe-

says the Dallas News, and these can
do their state a lasting service by
using their knowledge and influence
In suggesting remedies to punish
and prevent the high-handed meth
DDS of jury-fxers with whom they
have come in contact from time to
time. They will know fuather that
one great trouble with some jurors
is not outright dishonesty, but that
it is the pitiful weakness of igno,
rance. Now let it be arranged so
that pliable ignoramuses may go off
and sit on a log, instead of taking
their seats, term after tearm, on the
juries for criminals only.

GEN. RUIZ SANDovAL, who gained
such notoriety as the leader of the

Mexican government raising an
army of less than dozen with
which to invade that Republic, is

IT is understood Secretary Blaine
IS endeavoring to negotiate treaty
with Mexico similar to that which
has been completed with Brazil, the
effect of which will be very impor-
tant as to the commerce of the two
countries. But it is believed the
Mexican government labors under
similar endorsements as that of
Spain, in that it has treaties with
other countries which contain the
favored nation clause, and that it is
doubtful whether the publicists of
Mexico will agree that an exceptional
arrangement can be made with the
United States IN violation of the
favored nation clause of these treat
les with other countries. Spain GER
tainly cannot without complication
with Germany and Great Britain.

Broke Jail.

Frank Eslow, who burglarized j.
w. Berg's hardware store q few weeks
since, escaped from the county
jail last evening. The william who
was in the corridor succeeded in Sc
GREETING himself upon the top OF the
steel cage during the temporary alb
sence of the sheriff, where he remain
ed until the cells were locked at ten
O'Clock. He then descended to the
floor, kicked a hole through the par
tition, which is only lath and plaster,
into the cellar stairway from whence
he escaped into the open DIR and
made tracks tor the east side OF the
depot where he secreted himself and
awaited the arrival Of the train
which was two hours late on account
of a disabled engine. Upon the arrt-
val of the train he undertook to get
on board but was caught by police
man Roy, sheriff Houde and deputy,
and returned to his cell.

C. A. Sprandel returned Saturday
last from his western trip, and care.
full observation satisfied him that
Little Falls and Minnesota were as
good localities as any in the country.
At no place did business seem to be
better than here, but the climate OF
Southern California struck him as
being very fine. Washington and
Oregon are badly overdone, and the
people are having a rather hard time
to keep up their "boom". Charley
met a large number of old acquaint-
ances from Little Falls in the cities
along the Sound, and none of them
were very prosperous. Business
seemed very poor, and all lines OF
trades and professions were filled.
He came back over the Canadian
Pacific, visited British Columbia
and the points along the line.
In Southern California he met
Lieut.. Oscar Clyde, a statesman who
resided in Morrison county several
years, and that gentleman is now
the leader. in the Alliance movement
in his part of the state. With all O
Oscars political changes he has not
yet embraced the faith OF the prohi-
bitiOnists.
