Oar Expert Trade and Tariffs.

Recent statistics show in a very
striking way the disastrous effect OF
our high tariff on the export trade il
American products.
Official reports published recently by
the United States Treasury Depart
ment show that during 1894 there was
a large falling off in our exports to
Germany of agricultural implements,
sewing machines, manufactures of cot
ton. and flour, and falling off of more
than so per cent in our exports to Ger
many of seeds, butter. beef products
and hog products Nothing could
more plainly prove the bad effect of
the tariff on our export trade.
1t may be possible now to fool some
people into the belief that the tariff is
not injurious 70 their home industry.
But they cannot be Away kept in the
dark. Though they may not have ac-
cess to the exact statistics of trade
(which overwhelmingly show the ma
lign effect of the tariff on all our ma
tional industries) the people are be
ginning TO find out that protection"

Mourning Customs.

The Rev. Edwin Ide, OF Baltimore,
in recent sermon on Funeral and
Mourning Customs" said =
81 plead for true Christian express
sion of sorrow. | think the wearing of
mourning is a very poor way of .ex-
pressing sorrow-it relegates the sOr
row to our clothes. Sorrow is private
thing. The heart knows its own bitter
ness, and the wearing of mourning
clothes is like making a public display
of our sorrow Real sorrow is q per
sonal matter and life long thing.
The mourning is worn for a certain
period to display our grief. and then
comes the half mourning which
presume is to show that we are now
half sorry, and finally, when the mourn
ing is entirely discarded, then the world
is to understand we are not sorry at all
any more"
There is notably growing prejudice
against the custom Of mourning by
certain fixed rules of etiquette. and
making grief divisible by the num Der
of months in year. 1t is so frequent
ly the case that the consistency be
tween clothes and condnct-grief and
gear-is not maintained. that babili-
dies upon sorrow and excite disgust in
stead of sympathy.
| This grieving according to conven-
tionalism or established precedents,
and inviting the public to sit as a
coroner's inquest upon our private
feelings, impresses us as being alto.
gether wrong. The public, also, has
some rights in the matter, and it ought
not to be forced to look upon such
"grewsome sights,' and he continually
face to face with emblems of an un
interesting grief. Every argument in
favor of looking upon the bright side
of life is against the custom of wearing
our sorrow upon our coat sleeves.
1t would be better if mourning APP
parel could be entirely done away with.
or certainly worn for very brief pc
riod after the death of loved one, re
gardless of how becoming it might
be to the wearer. Another reform.
which if carried into general effect
would decrease the necessity of wear
ing mourning is to have the funeral
ceremonies end at the church and the
corpse turned over to the undertaken.
charlottesville Progress.
To mourn and grieve for those who,
we believe, have exchanged this "vale
of sorrow" for home of eternal bliss
is selfish, though natural and natural,
because we are naturally selfish. In
mere conventional ''babiliments of
woe" there is often much vanity &C.
companied by hypocrisy.
Those who make the greatest show
of grief are not the most sincere mourn
ers-those who pray aloud on the
housetops are not the most pious-
those who boast most are not the most
courageous. THE heart speaks most
when the lips move not''-the stricken
heart is silent Sincere grief, like true
charity, ''vaunts not itself"

We copy the following from the
Charlottesville Chronicle of February
18th, 1895, giving the weather record
at Charlottesville from Decem Der Goth,
1894 to February 10Th, 1895. The tenn
perature here was colder than at Char
lottesville as indicated by the thermo-

Charlottesville which would make it
several degrees colder here, but the

We do not profess to know the true
inwardness" of the troubles that have
existed for some time in the First Regi-
ment. Bnt it seems to us that no mill
tary organization can flourish if its Of
ficers are at daggers point, if a subordi-
nate can question the authority of his
superior officers. and if the staff of the
regiment is divided into hostile fac
tions, neither respecting the other. but
doing all that it can to impair the 9TH
er's influence. If such conditions pre-
vail, surely general decentralization of
the privates must follow. For this rea-
son we think the recommendation of
the court of inquiry that all of the Of
ficers resign is "A good one, and those
most directly concerned should not
hesitate to withdraw if thereby the
good of the volunteer services of the
State will be promoted and the regi
ment be placed upon a more satisfac-
tory basis We cannot imagine that
the militia of the State was organized
for the purpose of catering to the per
sonal vanity of the officers or of giving
any set of persons an Importance to
which they should be entitled only by
reason of their individual merits. 1t is
hard enough to maintain the volunteer
military of the State upon anything
like creditable and efficient basis. and
snch conditions as are alleged to have
existed for some time past in the First
Regiment should not he permitted to
continue any longer if they can be re-
moved by the voluntary resignation of
the officers. appeal.

How Hicks's Weather Prophecy was
Verified,

Those who believe in Hicks as a
weather-prophet and who have OBJ
served that the best weather we have
had for two months was that from the
22nd to the Goth inst, will be surprised
to learn that for that time Hicks pre-
dicted as follows =
1.-The 22nd to the goth is a storm Pc
Rod in which many very hard storms
may be expected. Earth, Venus, Mars
Moon, and Vulcan, all bear upon these
disturbances"
Now, what was the bearing of this
array of planets and satellites on the
weather. 1t seems that they did nor
cause the "many very hard storms
which Hicks predicted they would do.
If they had any influence on the
weather, it must have been of con
trary character to that attributed to
them by Hicks. The result shows that,
if they do influence the weather, Hicks
don't know the character of that in
tiuence. The fact is that they do not
influence the weather at all, or if al
all, only to an inappreciable degree
The mention of them in connection
with his predictions has the effect OF
imposing on the ignorance of the PEG
pie, and it. may be done for that pur-
pose. If sincere and honest, the fail
ures of his predictions, should con
vince him that his theory, on which
his predictions are founded, is as in
substantial as the "baseless fabric of t
vision" If the planets controlled the
weather, and he knew, as he claims
what effect they would produce, at any
given time, there could be no failures
in his predictions, for the planets never
fail to "come to time" and the fact
that he does fail in his predictions.
shows that they do not have the in
fuence he attributes to them, and thai
his theory is false, and his predictions
unreliable.
Those who feel like having weather
prophet, should hold on to the ira
ditional prophet-the ground-hog-fol
he is unselflsh, and does not make
money out of his prophecies, and has
no paper which he advertises in the
almanacs, and for which he pays by
allowing them to publish his prophe-
cies to impose on the credulity of the
public.
