Cautious Prophet.

In these days, when people are wont
to complain of any mistake made in the
representations sent out from the
weather bureau, it is amusing to read
Of the complaisant manner in which
Clough, in his New England Alma
mack" for the year 1902 and later, pre-
dicted the weather.
Perhaps" he says, from the 18th
to the 23d Of January, "it will be very
cold weather if it frese by the fireside
or on the sunny side of fence at noon. !"
In April he says: "Perhaps wet
weather if it rains y" ''Now fair wealth
er if the sun shines" Windy or calm. :"
And in July he rites pleasantly,
eff now the weatheSsIo prove fair, peo-
pie to Cambridge do repair. -
1t appears that Mr.. Samuel Clough
knew how to secure himself against

Lifting the ponderous volume to a ta-

"Why, this looks like q collection Of

''That shows you never played the

Governor John Gary Evans has sent his
farewell message to the General Assembly.
The document is roluminous one and
shows thorough familiarity with every
branch Of the State government. 1t also
shows that the Governor has kept a watch
fnl eve on the States finances and was
careful to see that its monies were so in
vested as to result in a profit to the State.
His views on the tispenssuy aud the met
rooolitan police system are very interest
;no and his review of all the public insti-
tntions makes his message very readable
paper, This farewell message IS an able
state paper. in fact, one OF the a5leSt We
have ever read. Governor Evans. in re-
tir,ng from the guberuator;al chair, goes
hack iato private life with mission un-
fulfilled, and we predict day Will come
when the people will remember the wrong
done him by unscruprlouS politicians.
Governor Evaus was the logical candidate
f,r the United States Senate. His services
TO his party won for him that preStaSe, bit
fate was against him; the place so well de-
served by him goes to another. His defeat
WIS not brought about through his unpop-
,,aritv. but it vas the work OF Schealine
politicians who coold ""t manage his a.
m;nist-atiou. john Gary Evans was tie
Governor and he made those aronni him
s.a, Il. for tha: reason, some Of them, to
oratify their revenge, resorted to the lowest
I,;,5 Of scheming to politically ass&sS;nate
him and they met with temporary success.

''Let it be said that there is no wom-

q would say in conclusion, that
anyone who will dispassionately COM
pare these 4 l-2 per cent. 20-4O bonds
(that is the State has the option Of
redeeminy them in 20 years and can
then probably refund them at 3 l-2
per cent. with the old / per cent.
A-year bonds will see a large saving
to the State and further, the sinking
fund will reduce the debt in the first
20 years considerably over 81, 100000,
sshus cutting off after 20 years $67.-
500 a year from the interest to be
paid by the State. That this trans
acton was a good one for the State
will be shown by the accompanying
article from The News and Courier,
which was very antagonistic to the
State government; and the further
fact remains that within two or three
weeks after the bonds were paid for
they were selling in the open market
at about 80 cents on the dollar.
''Ihe money that was recently
awarded to the syndicate was money
originally to the credit of Mr.. Ian
caster with the Baltimore Trust and

the commissions against which he
had given me drafts for my portion
of the commission. The company
was restrained from paying out the
money BY members Of the Baltimore
syndicate, who claimed that no mem
ber Of the syndicate (Mr. L. being a
member) was entitled to receive any
part Of the commission. l had never
had any dealings with this syndicate
except through Mr.. Lancaster, and
therefore there was no issue between
the syndicate and myself as 10 the
