III attempting a solution OF the prOb1
lem of the origin Of. storms, the, I'M,
portant factors to be taken, into the.
account are. first, The sun, which, is
the source of all physical energy in,
the solar system, and secondly, the
earth. With Its atmosphere and varied
surface of land and. water, These
furnish sufficient basis Of rational
theories to account for the phenomena
of storms, and general weather con.
ditions.
But how about the moon and PLAN
cts? Are they not also important fac
tors! After years of pains-takinR in.
vestigation, by some Of the most emil
nent scientists, no proof has been dis
covered that these minor bodies exert
any direct, appreciable effect in the
production Of storm movements in our
atmosphere. The light from the moon
and planets is only reflection Of the
solar rays, and the quantity of heat
conveyed to the earth by these reflect
ed rays is SO small that our instru.
ments cannot measure it.
By careful observation it has been
discovered that the moon causes 4
slight variation in the atmospheric
pressure. But this lunar tide is scarce
ly discernible, the difference between
the maximum and the minimum PRESS
ure being less than Ave. housandths Of
an inch; and this could not possibly
produce storm movements. There Is
absolutely no ground of fact or philos-
ophy to sustain the popular notions
about the moons influence upon the
weather; or to support the pretensions
of the astrologers who base their long
range forecasts on planetry positions
and conjunction. These stellar and
lunar theories are pure moonshine,
and very thin at that.
The lesser bodies bear minor part
in maintaining harmony of movement
through the law of gravitation, but
we are unable to discover their direct
agency in the production Of terrestri-
al storms.
The sun is the fountain OF all ener-
gy in the solar system, and in that
great central sphere are forces suffic-
lent to produce the varied phenomena
witnessed upon the surface OF the
earth.
The solar power is manifested in

at the top notch, $40, and steel sheets
and galvanized iron at almost the
highes prices reached during the boom.
Why? Simply becaues, as Is plain at
last to everyone, the tariff makes II
possible to hold the prices and the man
ayers choose to do It,
In short, all the business of our coun-
try affected by tariff trusts, instead Of
being regulated by the law of supply
and demand, is regulated by the will Of
the individuals who manage the trusts,
and no business instinct or experience
can foretell what 1t may please them
to do. This power was bestowed by the
protective tariff, in spite Of repeated
declarations that there should be no
such monopolies under It; and the ut
terances of eminent Republicans, pub
lished by the league, show how wide
spread is the feeling that Justice de-
mands the removal of tariff favors oD-
tained under false pretenses, and how
strong will be the support which con-
gressional candidates will secure who
pledge themselves to the removal Of
duties which foster monopoly.
Extraordinary conditions, both at
home and abroad, have kept us from
seeing the full extent to which these
trusts have put our whole business sys-
tenn upon an unsound basis. This, and
the other evils of extortionate and ar
bitrary prices will be keenly felt when
the agricultural west has to face again,
as 1t may, at any time, the competition
of great harvests abroad. When our
export trade in manufactures, now be-
coming such a source of satisfaction in
new quarters. has to meet the fall in
foreign prices, which will attend any
serious check to the present world wide
Industrial and commercial activity, 1t
will become unbearable that the price
of material here should be held up by
tariff trusts above the price at which
foreign manufacturers purchase their
materials.
When these conditions come, and they
are sure to come, other trusts may or
may not be hurting us; it has not yet
been proved. 1t Is open to question how
much benefit there is to the communi-
ty in great combinations of capital
which dictate their own terms after
they have secured their monopoly by
better and cheaper service than any
one else could render. But there can
be no such question about combinations
which do not render that service and
secure their monopoly by tariff law
which prevents any one else from rem
dering it to our people, debating the
rates of duty in that law as a reward
for the assistance of their wealth in
electing the dominant party. And in
all the uncertainty about other trusts,
one thing is certain, pull the teeth of
the tariff trusts by removing the duties
which protect them and those trusts
at least, will no longer bite hard
enough to hurt.

JUDGE AUNGST
MAKES PROPHECIES.
Fixes the Time Two Women
Are Apt to Die.
WAS OBLIGED TO DO II
In Order to Compute How Much Collateral
Inheritance Tax Was Due From
the Estate of Benjamin
+. SchOemaker.

Judge Aungst on Thursday made
finding in the estate of Benjamin F.
Shoemaker, Of Plain township, with
tax. The law provides that legacies
left to others than relatives must pay
a per cent. to the state. In this estate
Samuel H. Adams is executor and the
court had to make quite an ingenious
computation before being able to tell
be. The estate consists of notes amount
ing to s1,700 from Lucy Kryder. The
will provides that they shall not be col
lected till her death and then the inter-
est and principal shall be collected and
placed at interest and the interest paid
to his sister, Sarah E. Braucher. At
her death the entire estate is to go to
the Ohio eldership of the Church of God.
The law only made 1t possible to col
lect on the legacy going to the church.
1t was therefore necessary to find out
how much was the present worth Of the
churchs chance at the estate. Lucy
Kryder is 73 years old and the court al
lowed her seven more years to live and
figured that at that time the estate
would have grown to $2,414. Sarah e.
Braucher is now As and the court from
all statistics at hand figured that her
chances were good to live for 90 years.
1t will therefore be 23 years before the
church can get hold Of the property.
To find the worth Of the estate now
the Judge did a little computation in
arithmetic and discovered that s632.12
at compound interest would at the end
Of 23 years amount to $2,414 and that
therefore the present worth of the es-
tate would be that sum. The law allows
5000 to be exempted from the Inherit
ance tax and this left $432.12. At five
per cent. this yielded to the state $20.61
and the sum was so fixed by the court.

SHOPS SHUT DOWN.
Wheeling and Lake Erie Shop
Men Are Out Of Steady
Employment.

The w. & L. E. r. r. shops in Canton
are virtually shut down. The employees
are working but two days a week.
Tuesday notice was posted that begin

the shops would be closed until Monday,
July 2, and then to be opened long
enough to do any pressing work that
may have to be done. Next week the
shops will again be closed. A News
Democrat reporter met some of the en-
ployes at noon Saturday. They were
feeling pretty blue and said that they
could not make living working two
days a week as they have been doing.
Some Of them will begin at once to seek
other positions. The men can not un-
derstand why they are out Of employ
ment. The officials at the shops are
mum. They cannot assign reason,
claiming that they have not been ad-

OIL AND GASOLINE
Take a Drop and Prices Are
LOwered-Annual GrOcers
Outing Discussed.

A largely attended meeting of the
Grocers' association was held Friday
night at the business place of one of
their members. A number Of import
ant matters were to be discussed and the
members were enthusiastic in their dis
cussions.
The annual picnic of the association
received some attention. In past years
it has been customary that the grocers
observe this annual outing by them
selves, but last year it was decided
that the business men would be asked
to accompany them this year. However,
nothing definite has been received re-
apecting such an outing, from the bus
mess mems association, and therefore
the question was not settled. The last
of August was believed to be the most
propitious time for holding the outing.
Three committees We're appointed by
the president to serve during the year,
the trade, entertainment and grievance
committees, who will settle all questions
referred to them.
Oil and gasoline dropped in price in
wholesale quantities recently and after
some discussion the grocers decided to
lower the price of oil from IL to 10 cents
and gasoline from 13 to IL cents.
The next regular meeting of the gro
GERS association will be held on the
third Tuesday in July, when the picnic
question will be taken up and finally set
tied; and the business men will be ap-

was caused by a broken truck wheel,
which threw the engine off the track.
The baggage car and smoker remained
the rear truck of the chair car went off

FEARS FOR THE ORIOLES.
Captain Robinson Thinks Baltimore
Will Be Frozen Out

Baltimore, Jan. SIT begins to look
a great deal as if Baltimore would be
frozen out of the National League"
said Captain Wilbert Robinson, of the
Orioles today. AT one time I thought
that the Baltimore owners would refuse
to get out, and that we would have ten
clubs, but after all, how can you blame
them? They probably think that it is
better to get a good big roll for Balti-
more now than to be frozen out and get
nothing after 1901. And, in addition,
Brooklyn also might be dropped in 1901.
and in the meantime Baltimore would
be getting the hot end of it on the sche-
dulles and everything else. OF one thing
you may be sure, Mac and 1 will have
something to say when it comes to
transferring to say to this or that or
t'other city. What I wish is that they
would do what they are going to do as
soon as possible, SO that we may know
where we are at They will probably
postpone action and keep everything
uncertain until the late minute, SO as to
head off possible opposition.
If we only had some league with
good prospects to go into. would be in
favor of going right after a, franchise
and getting grounds and a team with
out any regard for what the National
League would do. If only that story of
Ban Johnson's revolt had been true we
would be ready to join it,
Manager John J. McGraw said: ct
have said and believed all along that
the league would be reduced to eight
clubs, with Baltimore left out in the
cold, and that was why I was anxious
to Investigate the plans of the proposed
American Association. I want to play
ball right here, and the only way to ac-
complish those two things is, in my
opinion, outside the National League,
because the league has determined to
kick Baltimore out. believed all along
and believe now that when the league
offers its price for Baltimore there will
be some haggling, but finally the boss
go Baltimore at the leagues price, no
matter how big a price they tell the
public is paid for it,
