n HERE is scarcely any portion of the
governmental machinery where
progress has been so marked and the
development of sv-ieficial results so rapid
as In the Weather Bureau. The ne west
thing arranged by the men who make the
weather and who are blamed for every Ill

weekly report-fOr the special benefit of fruit
growers. The first issue OF the report will
appear about the 4th instant. It's object
is to forecast the 1hd and temperature, so
that precautions will be taken by the grow
ers to save their crops.
Many of the Southern planters to whom
reports are probably of the gravest I'M
portance, have entered into agre emehts
with the local rorecasters to notify them by
telegraph. at the growers expense. of any
proba Bile decisive change in the atmosphere.
A Southern railroad, whose tracks extend
far into the cotton field region, is making
arrangements with the Weather Bureau,
whereby the moving trains will forecast a
cold wave. The engine will give ign;it
each three miles when the weather men
have decided on cold blast. II is in-

in wages in Wales. Daring all this
time foreign timed plate was barely
confined to Atlantic coast territory, the
utmost endeavors of the American

controlling the seaboard market has
proven too much for the foreign man.

for the American markets, withdrew
and advanced prices fifteen cents q box

their own home markets. This move
has enabled the American makers to
advance prices also, though they are
at present to get half the ad.

so plain that none can fail 10 read 1t
and understand the necessity for

The disgraceful political rows that

the one now at white heat in Dona Ana

with agents and soldiers as guards.

In 1892, the democratic party prom
Used splendid prosperity If the demo-
cratic ticket were elected. The ticket
was successful, the Wilson low tariff
bill was passed, and instead of the
splendid prosperity, abject depression,
business s%tagnatiion, hard times and
poverty were given the country. The
free trade policy of the party was
largely the cause Of this. 1T is for this
reason that the silver republicans
