ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Feb. 9-My last
bulletin gave forecasts of the storm
waves to cross the continent from Feb.
18th to the 21st. The next will reach
the Pacific Coast about February the
22d, cross the Western, mountain
country by the close of the 23d, the
great Central Valleys from the Oath
to the Goth and the Eastern States
about the 9th.
lsThis will be one of the most noted
and severe storms of the year and de-
serves special attention. Probably
two entire distinct disturbances will
develop within the week of the 22d to
the 18th west of the Mississippi river,
one of which / have described above
and which will probably enter the con-
tinent between Vancouver's Island
and the mouth of the Columbia liver
about the 22d or 23d, move directly
toward Kansas City, thence between
the upper and lower lakes, near or
north of Albany, New York, and then
down the st. Lawrence river.
Warm waves will cross the Western
mountain country about the 22d, and
the Great Central valleys about the "a
and the Eastern States the goth. The
Cool waves will cross the Western
mountain country about February the
25th, the Great Central valleys about
the 9th and the Eastern States about

BARON HARDIN HICKEY

That is pleasant rumor which sets
forth that Great Britain is inclined to
treat with James I. OF Trinidad for the
purchase of the island whereby ne has
acquired his princely title and with it
the right to issue postage stamps and to
bestow decorations upon deserving per-
sons destitute of the same. 1t is officially
set forth that Great Britain has ADAM
doned all her claims accruing from any
pretended right If discovery or occupa-
ton, as indeed she had no pretext for
not dong. There is no doubt ABOUT the
priority of the Portuguese claim, nor of
the succession of Brazil to it. and If it be
pretended that Brazil has left the island
derelict, the same thing may be said of
Great Britain herself. Her proceedings
of occupation we're confined to hosting a
flag and taking it down again. after
which the conquerors proceeded to re-
EN- bark, scuttling away in haste from the
land crabs.
But James I. of Trinidad is in better
case. He may not find 1t convenient to
live IN the island, having no mind either
crabs eat him. But it is nowhere laid
down by Grotius, Vattel, Puffendorf. or
any of their successors that prince must
reside in his prIncipality. All that he
need do is to keep alive his sovereignty
by constant exercise OF its attributes
which his majesty has been industriously
doing by the issue of postage stamps and
decorations, and by com unications
at proper seasons upon duly am blazoned
note paper. James |. is undoubtedly
"the man in possession" and IL Great
Britain wants the island it is with him
that sho must treat for it.
The negotiations ought not to be diffi-
oct IN
nor to have had any early associations
with them, such as would make the sale
of the island injurious to him either by
a laceration of his sentiments or loss of
his prIncely prestige. If the British want
it, there is no reason why they should
not have it on fair terms. What fair
terms would be is another question.
Possibly he would consent to sell it out
right; probably he would consent to ex-
change il for something equally as
gooo.' Great Britain has an enormous
job lot of islands scattered about the
globe. As one of her own poets has said:
"Never was isle so little, never was sea
so lone,
But over the scud and the palm trees an
English flag has Town."
One OF these she will doubtless put at
the disposal of the monarch whom she
must either buy out or else tight in the
face of the reprobation of mankind.
Given the pick of the hundred-acre
islands in the British catalogue, it would
be hard if James |. could not select a
more eligible seat Tor his dynasty than q
ock Inhabited by land crabs. In any
cause it is to be hoped that the CORES

Editor Herald: Il notice that your
paper has published full and very fair
reports of the proceedings of the Los
Angeles presbyteYv, now in session as a
judicatory, for the trial of the pastor and
session of the First Presby terrain church.
The charges against them may be sum
med up in ono word, contumacy. The
trial of the pastor mas been concluded,
the verdict guilty as charged. and SEN
tence has been passed, namely. suspen-
sion from all the functions of the m in
istry until he shall submit and acknowl-
edge the authority of the presbytery.
The trial OF the session is now (the 15th)

years and am seriously troubled over a
number OF things connected with this
unfortunate affair. | have attended some
tho proceedings. The decorum of the
mem bers during the present trial, while
not characterized by any marked dignity
or such seriousness as would be be fitting
the trial of brother for not submitting
to his brethren in the Lord" has been
great Improvement on the behavior of
the reverend gentlemen during the meet
ings of the same body in the same
church few months ago, when the pro-
ceedlngs In regard to this difficulty we're
inaugurated. Then the cheering, clapping
OF hands and boisterous laughter in
dulged in when point was scored for
their side, was truly encouraging to
an ordinary church member who had
| taken some part in political primaries
(those gatherings of bad men, you know
and then had WINGED on Sunday when
his pastor referred with holy horror to
those dlsorderly gatherings. And it was
not the brethren fir I'm the rural districts
that INDUCED in the unseemly behavior,
but pastors OF our most am bilious
churches. But, Mr.. Editor. while
would like the ministers of my church to
be men who know how to behave them
selves in manner BETTING the place
and occasion and wound put their knowl-
esde into practice, in other words, would
show themselves to be gentlemen, yet
it is perhaps safer not to expect too much
and TO quietly submit to our brethren
In the Lord IN whatever they may choose
to furnish us.
In regard to the trials, some things
puzzle me. as they probably do others of
the rank and file of the Presbyterian
church. For instance, we cannot under
stand how men who elect to act in the
capacity Of jurors can know and sta to
just what they will do before they hear
the testimony. Yet We know that more
than one minister of the presbytery did SO !;
stated definitely that Mr.. Howard would
be bounced. the session ditto and the
| congregation would also be unless it sub
mitted to the authority of the presbytery,
and one went SO far as to ask member
of the first church to remain In until all
this was accomplished in order that he
might help form nucleus for a new
church that would claim the propert

affair, but it is difficult for an ordinary
church mem Der to see it in any other
light.
Now. Mr.. Editor, those Of us who know
this state of affairs, were not surprised
to learn that ths ecclesiastical court pro-
ceeded in an exceedingly arbitrary man
ner. When MI. Howard claimed that
notice Of his arraighment had not been
properly served. he was told that it was
sufficient to mail a notice to his last
known address. That is undoubtedly
correct, but when ne asked that proof of
such notice should be furnished he was
told that they were not obliged to furnish
proof OF service but that he must prove
that service had not been made. 1t is
again little difficult for an ordinary
church member to see just how Mr..
Howard was to prove that his prosecutors
had not placed i'll the mail a certain doc
umcnt. But you know. Mr.. Editor, that
preachers can see finer points than we can
and we again submit to our brethren in
the Lord.
Again, the report Of yesterdays pro-
ceedings in your issue OF this morning
shows that an important fact was squeez-
ed out of the late moderator, Mr.. Stewart,
namely, that no notice of the proposed
dissolution of the First church was ever
sent to the session of that church, AS re-
quired by the rules of procedure in the
Presbyterian church. That important
TACT was not only kept Dack DuC men DerS
tried to smother it when it was likely to
be brought out. How does this strike
the average ember? l mean the lay
members who furnish the funds for
this business. A little. investigation will
show copclusively to anyone making it
that the present trials have Ueen conduct
ed in most arbitrary and unfair manner
and without a scintilla of Christian spirit.
The instances given herein are only
small fraction of those that might be
about half of the ministers constituting
the court are not pastors (includlng the
moderator). have no churches and have
little or nothing to do with the religious
work of the denomination, except as
they attend these official meetings, il is
not hard to explain many things that we
see and do not like.

Just what the evidence was, as we'll as
the law when they voted to cite Mr.. How
ard for trial, and as the evidence on the
trial was the same they had bad before
them. before citation for trial, each
mem Der had, in his own mind. neCessa-
rily decided the case before the verdict,
if the evidence was not different at the
trial, their vote for citation to trial
cant vote for conviction. This ad-
mission is candid and can stand any crit
icism which may assail him. 1t would
be different in civil trials, because the
jurors neiter know what the evidence or
law is till they are in the jury box.
Every minister uniting with the Pres
byterian church does 80 voluntarily,
knowing the form of government and
procedure beforehand, and VOWS to be
governed by the rules and regulations Of
his church, and if tribunal so constitu-
ted is prejudiced or unfair, the fault is
inherent in the system, and not in its
application to any particular case. The
remedy of party dissatisfied with such
a sytem Sies in withdrawal from the b ,dy

rations OF the system.
In my letter On Mr.. Towards case in
The Herald of Tuesday. to illustrate my
position l used the following words {:
Suppose a man is brought before Judge
Shaw for contempt of court. Is 1t any
mitigation of his offense to prove that
his attorney or somebody else had told
him to resist the authority of the court?
Would such evidence have any effect on
the courtY" This was simply used by
me as an illustration.
Judge Mckinley in his reply to this
clause OF my letter uses the following
words: II feel that l ought to resent the
Shaw. contained in the comparison made
between his court and the presbytery.
but his reputation is such that l think
the libel will not iniurs him. Judge
McKinley's inference that the Los Ange-
les presbytery is too low and degraded to
be able to psrpetrate libel on any court
is, at least, disloyalty to the presbytery
and beneath the dignity characteristic of
the judiciary.

In dalliance DER the Tyre,
Sing to me, love. some rare old song
That gushed from heart of fire
Song such as Grecian phalynx hymned
When freedom 8 field was won,
And fersia's glory, with the light,

tiary. 1t was CHRISTOPHER Buckley who
in the zenith OF power undertook to in
wade the most sacred tribunal of the COM
monwealth, the supreme court. and pro-
cure from il, for consideration of course,
a decision of value to certain private
interests.
The leaves of San Francisco's history
are smuttei all over with the blackenei
finger points of Buckeyes crimlnality.
The Dam ocrat's opinion that U. B. Pond
owed his position as mayor OF San Fran
cisco to Buckley is decidedly wrong
one. MIR. Pond was we'll nigh the unani-
nous choice of the untrammeled Demo-
Gratis and the independent element of San
Francisco, each time he was elected as
the city's executive. Against his real
desires put in obedience to the dictates OF
policy, Buckley allowed Mr.. Ponds NOM
ination and election. He recognized the
need OF sometimes making a concession
to decsncy and when he made it. it was
invariably to some Office when, like that
of mayor. according TO the absurd theory
of municipal government so prevalent in
the United States, has little or no power.
The manner in which Buckley fought
the nomination of Pond for governor in
1890 and the defeat of that gentleman in
the election If that year through mach
nations of Buckley and his tools, estab-
lish very clearly the fact that Mr.. Pond
hardly posses the qualifications of a
Buckley lamb
Buckley's aspiration for reinsatem emit
to his old time place OF ;powsr and pelf
should receive no consid eration but that
of positive and unitsd opposition from
the Democratic press of the state. II is
matter that affects the honor and the
safety of the whole Dem ocratic party of
California, and tor that matter the peo-
pie of all parties. The influences that he
can create ana set in motion il be is once
again seated astride the Democracy of
San Francisco, will be so vast and far
reaching that they will Iamify through
every department of public activity. The
control of San Francisco representation
in the legislature sometimes determines
the trend of legislation that is potent for
good or evil to every part of the state.
At this time the Democratic journals
that are loyal to the party can best ev:-
dence the fact by an unqualified resist
ance to the advances OF Christopher
Buckley.
