To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
am prompted to make the following
forecasts because Of the failure of our
governors and state board of agriculture
not doing what they are paid to do. Also
the Unite States weather service.
The attention of all these parties has
been called to this matter beginning with
the year 1859, and the proof of my fore
casts has been placed IN the hands OF the
weather service at Washington. D. c.
The forecast for years 1887 and 1894 was
placed in the hands of Secretary Colmal
by Hon. s. R. Peters. for the year 1857 be-
forehand- The same was done with Nor
ton in 1893 Zach proved true. their re-
ports confirming the forecasts as true.
Yet not one of these parties viii make an
effort TO help you.
1 will offer you the best Of advice as a
starter. Sow no more wheat this fall
than you will need for seed in 81. Sow in
corn stalks If possible. Cut of no corn
fodder. neither let stock in stalk fields. IN
less you wish to go into the skinning bu-
siness.
The forecast for 1897: The winter will
be a very long and cold one, with much
snow in all localities where snow Is a
factor. Billiards will be on hand High
ways and railways VIII be blockaded no
little. All to be followed by much rain
fall and high waters during most of the
year.
Do not be in haste to get IN spring crops.
Oats win be an assured crop If well put In
and cared for. Plant large and late var
ieties of corn, planting thin. Wet weather
will be your trouble Take best of care
Of all the fede you have this fall, having
1t convenient. Provide good shelter for
self and stock, and DO not forget the suf-
fering. hungry and poor of our land.
II is In their behalf that have written
this as we'll as to leave the recorded facts
that public men refuse to protect your in
terest

PROMISE AND PERFORMANCES.

Silver men should not forget that q
vote for Bryan is vote for free trade
for rank Populism, and for all the pol
itical vagaries advocated by the Jerry
Simpsons and Tillmans of the country
such as conservative, level headed peo
teal illustration in actual application
| of what the people Of Kansas expert
! enced only two or tire years ago. The
Democratic party has always promised
great things. 1t is party of promise,
not of performance. 1t is the party in
! power today. Measure Cleveland's per-
| formances by his party's promises OF
! four years ago. The only difference,
the only point at which the nominee
Bryan does not concur with Mr.. Cleve-
land is on the money question. The
Democratic party has never failed to
promise to undertake to bring about
great commercial and industrial
changes. But it has always been
through attempted free trade and al
ways proved a failure. The cry of si-
yer is to catch votes. Back of this pre-
tense in the interest of free silver is
free trade.
Four years ago the man who IN dis
guest over his failures has retired TO
Buzzard's Bay, was promising, promis-
ing easy times with low prices for ev-
cry necessity, promising commercial
and financial prosperity. The low
prices came. but with low prices came
low wages and no wages, came closed
factories, Frustrated commerce, came
insufficient revenues and added ma
tional debt, came disaster, ruin and
want No one single promise has been
fulfilled save that of low prices, low
prices for wheat and for corn and for
cattle and for everything, including
low prices for wages. Now Mr.. Bry
an. a Democrat, at the head Of the
same old low-price Democratic party,
at least he claims it is the same old
party, has steered away from free
trade and low prices and is preaching
free silver. Haven't the people OF
America had enough of this old Demo
cratic party and its blunders, its Blu
chanans and its rebellions, its Cleve-
lands and disasters of every conceiv-
able character, Industrial, commercial
and financial?. Why should the Amer
lean people, after trying Democratic
nostrum Of only four years ago, with
be captured by its promises in 1896?
If the Democratic party has a record
at all more conspicuous in any one
thing than another outside Of the poll
teal disaster of 1868 and its CONNER
cial and financial disasters under
Cleveland, it is for its broken promises.

Railroad and Liquor Franchises.


The railroads have been doing a great
deal Of wailing, through their counsel,
about the tax they pay the State for
their franchises. They ave endeavored
to impress upon the Stockton Commission
hat they are paying a fearfully high
price for the privilege of conducting their
business in this State.
The fact is they pay about $685. 900 a
year as a tax on their franchises. Enor-
nous. is it not?
The liquor dealers of this city pay
about s275,Go Al year for their fran
chises. that is for the mere privilege of
doing business. They pay, besides, full
local rates on every dollars worth of
property they own.
The Newark liquor dealers pay about
$50, 900 a year. In the entire State the
liquor franchise contributes about $1,000
900 to the public expense. or nearly four
times what the railway franchise does.

MARRIAGE FOR MONEY.

Degrade Marriage.

marriage to the level of commerce.
writes the Rev. Charles II. Parkhurst.
D.. D., in the November Ladies' Home
Journal, in a paper on 1.-The Young Man
and Marriage This Is not denying that
there are material considerations that in
this matter, as in all others. require TO
be respected. A poor young man marry
ing a poor young girl. with only the pros
pect that their life will become more and
more complicated as time goes on, is a
fool. I have had affectionate couples wait
upon me TO be married and then ask me
TO TRUST them for the wedding fee. / think

Nor, on the other hand, does my objection
he against any amount of contingent as
sets with which either or both of the con-
bracting parties may chance to be en-
dowed- My only contention Is that in
every marriage not essentially unholy the
basal element is love. and that marriages
which ere arranged marriages which
mean, first of all, an affair of p~erquisSes
or a barter in commodities. are a distinct
i~nfraction upon the spirit of the seventh
commandment. The volumfnous displays
with which we know such unions to be
sometimes celebrated only aggravate the
mischief. and operate to teach our young
people in all conditions of life that mar
riage may be reduced TO a species of traf-
fc. differing from the dealings on the
stock or produce exchange only in some
of the "details with which the bargain is
consunrnated. Such examples are dis
itinctly alien to the errtlre genius of the
institution of marriage"
