Weather Bureau show that the present
and the conditions that produce these
heavy rains are by no means confined to
the Gulf coast, nor, indeed, to any special
section OF the United States, but are found
inland as we'll as near the sea coast. At
Concord. Pa. sixteen inches of rain fell
in three hours on August 5, 1913, and a
Brandywine Hundred, Pa, on the same
day ten inches OF rain fell in two hours.
The quantity OF rain which may fall in q
twcnty-four hour period. while not Ger
tain index OF the entire rainfall accom-
panying severe storms, gives good
idea of the maximum amount. and the
meteorological conditions under which
enormously heavy precipitation occurs are
such that their continuance for any length
o: time is quite unlikely.
Now. If the entire moisture Of the air
were condensed, even when entirely satu-
rated at sixty degrees. the amount of
water produced would be less than two
inches of rain, so that it follows in case
like the one at Mobile that an enormous
amount OF very moist air must have been
drawn in from surrounding regions.
Our knowledge OF these conditions is by
no means so extensive as were desirable,
and hence in dealing with these problems
we must largely follow the law OF deduc-
ton. 1t Is entirely probable that the prox--
unity of Mobile to the Gulf of Mexico, and
the immense masses of moist air flowing
inland with southerly winds, largely tended
to produce the cloudburst reported
To give an idea of this enormous fall of
water, if we assume that Mobile and its
suburbs. with 10000 people, covered four
miles by three, or twelve square miles,
the rain that fell in this area within nine
hours would make column Of water, with
a base of ten acres, 500 feet high.
Think of a reservoir Of that size being
cut loose to run out over this city in nine
hours.

wHaTTHE BoEH ENJOYS SHOULD
no

The Boer ENJOYS to this country,
Messrs. r. Fischer, c. H. Vessels and a
D. w. Wolmarans, said in New York on
preparation of a statement covering tae
situation in South Africa, and the result
of their visit to this country. 1t is proba-
bly, completed and ready now. and may
see the light along with this article. MI.
Fischer, speaking last Saturday for him
self and his colleagues, said:
Our visit to this country has been sue
cessful from the point OF view that we
have ascertained that the great bulk OF
the American people sympatnize with 'he
f;oerS in their struggle against the armed
forces of Great Britain This tact was
nlainly demonstrated from The sentiment
displayed at all of the meetings that we
attended, both Jointly and separately.
AS 10 the present conditions in South
Africa. the surmises which We're enter
tanned by US have happened. The war IS
not yet over by any means, nor does the
taking of a few capital towns by the vast
British army mean surrender.
Mr.. Fischer undoubtedly has seen enough
of the American people to learn that there
is a vast volume of sympathy here for the
Beers. But he misleads himself very
greatly if he supposes that sympathy is
going to take any particular shape in the
direction of helping his people In their
struggle with Great Britain. This coun-.
try owes Great Britain certain duties in
this case imposed upon it by the laws or
nations. and this country proposes to OBJ
serve those duties faithfully in letter and
in spirit Mr. Fischer would do far better
10 notify his iellow-ctizens that this Is
the fact, that they have nothing to expect
from this country. and that the wisest
thing they can now do is TO accept the
| inevitable submit TO the superior physical
power of Great Britain and accommodate
themselves to conditions as they best may
1t is just as important to people to
know when they are vanuuished as it Is
for them to maintain their cause with I'M
shaken constancy while they are fighting
for it The Confederacy knew tina. it was
yanouished when General Lees army sur
rendered at Appoma1tox. and though that
knowledge had not taken root in the minds

Mr.. ingalls, said:
when 1 left the United States in March
/ believed several railroad stocks were
raised to figures quite uniustited by the
earnings. To judge that everybody will get
rich as a result of this is rather rash.
Judging from the cable advices there is
much to justify conservative Arrangements
in not increasing dividends. Coal and
wages have risen tremendously. This is
bound to affect the net earnings, and in
creased expenses must be provided for,
without calculating too much upon the
prospect of good business, which, l sin
cerely believe, exists. l expect ragged
market and many fluctuations until after
election, though do not believe values will
be seriously affected in the long run.

their behalf, profitable to them, but
notoriously bad for the American peo-
pie. Obligations to individuals have
been settled by giving them Offices of
great authority and opportunity, and
they have availed of both by appoint
ing to subordinate positions people of
their own kidney. One of the first con-
sequences of this has been that in Cuba
we have the spectacle of a Mckinley
colonial administration as bad and rot
ten in places as the preceding Spanish
system from which we undertook to re-
lease the Inhabitants of Cuba.
IL the blush of shame mantles the
cheek of the decent American today,
when he reads of the postoffice frauds
in Cuba, what would happen If we
had an honest insular house of repre-
sentatives to probe the whole insu-
lar administration of the day? The
little we know of the conditions in one
of the Antilles only attunes our ears
for the grand symphony of rascality
and crime that will burst upon us
whenever the baton Of serious investi-
cation strikes the music stand at
Manila. The state of affairs at that
vice regal capitol can only be conjectur-
ed because facts are carefully suppress
sed. But enough Is known, on the testi-
mony of resident merchants and foreign
representatives on the ground, to show
that a regime Of bribery, smuggling,
commerce with the insurgents, and
general sound business methods" has
been fiourishing in the Philippines ever
since the advent of Otis in the archi-
pelago. s4s,..t .s,sss. h..
We have always regarded Hon. Chas.
Emory Smith, postmaster-general, as
an honest man. He will prove himself
one by vigorously attacking the cor
ruption which has been disclosed In
the Cuban branch of his service, and
by bringing the guilty persons con-
nected with 1t to justice. But, in taxi
ing this course, he will not go far be-
fore learning that he cannot safely rely
upon his own department to give ef-
feet to his efforts; that he will come
in contact with persons who, because
they are his subordinates, will have
knowledge of his movements, and who
in secret will side with the offenders
rather than with the government. The
postmaster general already under
stands this. or else he Is binder to
his surroundings than even the general
public.

ENJOYS ARE WELCOMED.

The peace ENJOYS of the Boer repub-
lie have arrived in New York and the
welcome they received was most hearty,
indicating that the love of liberty is
not absent from the breasts of the
American people, even If the are mis-
represented by the attitude of the pres
ident and his advisers at Washington.
The great mass of the people believe
that the Beers are entitled to their in
dependence and to that end desire to
give them substantial encouragement
and sympathy. But there will be no
official sympathy extended. as Secre-
tary Hay and Lord Pauncefote are too
great friends to allow anything of that
kind to occur. So the Boer ENJOYS will
be welcomed by the people of America,
but not by the government, an anomaly
that could not have been present in q
great republic under any other presi-
dent who ever sat in the presidential
chair,
