Weather Forecasts,

There has been for some time consider
able dissatisfaction with the weather
forecasts for Maine, and it has been sup
posed the trouble might be with the Of
fee here. This is a mistake. The
trouble comes from the fact that one
forecast is made at the Washington Of
flee and the other at the Boston Office.
When Observer Jones of this Office used
to prepare them they were quite accu-
rate. The best plan it would seem
would be for the Washington office to
forward one forecast and the Portland
Office furnish the other.

being disputed. The meeting was soon
In the miry depths of dispute over par
liamentary law, from which it was with
difficulty extricated by the chairman.

strengthening the tangle out, and the
committee as finally agreed upon con-
sists of George M. Talford, Henry Fox,
Josiah Ward, A. J. Cummings and John
NJ. Stevens, the record being amended to
correspond with the facts.
L. T. Davis was made member of the
association.

DON'T STOP TIE RAsr MALE

II MT Postmaster-general WANAMAKER's
poSition as to the discontinuance of the
last mali trains is not bluff, he is about to
oo very ll[advised and dangerous thing.
n New York special, quoted in our dis.
pa'cnes yesterday, says this service is
ooomed TO be abolished after the 3Oth of
June, unless the railroad comnan1es come
10 his terms, and the country thrown hack
upon the old slow-going system, 1t would
DO just like WANAMAKER to do this. His
connection with the postoffice department
mas not cured him of the take your-time'
pohcy OF conservative old Philadelphia,
ana mas rather added to any penurious no.
tions he may have had when he went in.
VI course nobody cares to Justify the
railroad companies in charging exorbi-
UanI rates for transporting the mails on
limited trains, but as this is an extra SER
vice, recurring unusual care and involving
uncommon risks, there can be no objection
10 liberal compensation, especially as the
service Is OF incalcuable benefit to the en-
Vlre commercial and business interests of
the country. To put a stop now to this
urea and approved system would be TAX
Ing many steps backward on the track of
progress; and to say that the public would
view the change with Indignation is a
mild statement OF their sentiments on the
question.
During the whole of the present winter,
unusual for its deep SHOWS, the fast mail
mas been behind time from the east to Salt
Lake on but very few occasions, and then
Tor brief space only, showing wonder
1ul precision in making connections and a
carefulness of management deserving Of the
greatest praise. The same is true, we be-
heve, of the service wherever it is under
operation throughout the country. Com
plants, then, are not on account of want of
regularity or puuctual attention, but solely
on the matter of compensation. Mr.. WAN
AMAEER has had similar trouble with
the telegraph companies as to the
correspondence of the government, and
with some Of the steamboat and steamship
lines on the question of mail carrying,
until he has earned the reputation of being
would-be bulldozer. He has an absurd
notion that 1t would be great thing for
the postofice department if it were self
sustaining, whereas the public's chiefest
concern is to have the greatest expedition
and the promptest delivery of the mails.
we hope to see Congress sit down heavily
on Mr.. WANAMAKER in any project for cut
ting of fast mails across the continent. and
make appropriations which will insure
their continuance.

In ANOTHER place in this issue is a
thoughtful article in reference to institu-
tons for advanced education in this terri
tory. The paper was written by one of
our foremost educators, gentleman who
is deeply interested in the subject of higher
education. What he says should be care
fully read by the people, and especially so
by the members of the legislature. Nobody
who has The welfare of the youth of Utah
al heart will suggest parsimony in the ap-
preparations for schools; on the contrary,
the public sentiment is decidedly in favor
Of libersuty. People pay taxes which 90 for
education more cheerfully than any others
all that they ask Is that the money shall be
wisely expended and made to do the most
good. Without knowing what is best to
do in the matter discussed by our contri-
butor, The HERALD commends his com
munication to the lawmakers for their
consideration.

THE DETERMINATION to look into the
manner in which the Worlds fair directory
transacts business does not come too soon tc
lop off considerable amount of what seems
to be unnecessary and extravagant expen-
diture. An examination into the prevail.
lug and proposed methods of spending
money naturally precedes any appropria.
ton or loan by the government. There is
undoubtedly an impression abroad that ex,
orbitant salaries are being paid and dis
position shown to exploit Chicago rather
than promote the interests of the fair, and
to unduly make the latter subservient to
the other. A healthy overhauling of the
books, and robust checking up the rapa-
cious notions of the managers, will do no
particular harm.
