Hicks For March.

Rev. Ira Hicks makes these predic-
tons for March.
The first storm period enters on the
ard and 5th. A very low barometer,
change to much warmer, southerly
winds and general threatening will
eliminate in rain, sleet aud snow
storms within 4S hours OF noon on
the fifth. Destructive sleet storms will
be characteristic. The usual high ba-
rometer and cold wave behind winter
storms, will scarcely have time to ma
terialize, after this reactionary period,
before the regular period following
gets hold of the elements.
The second storm period is from
the 9TH to the IL, central on the 9th.
Unsettled and threatening conditions
will prevail at the beginning, but
marked indications OF severe and gen
eral storms will increa e by the 9TH
later to Billiards, over the country
generally about the 9Th to the nth.
Equiuoctial tempest will rush north =
ward from equatorial regions.
The third storm period is central on
the 18th, 10Th ard 18th. There is a
constant tendency all through this
month to storm and cold rain, sleet
and snow Bat this tendency rises to
a maxium on the G5th. 10th and 18TH
and more decided rain and snow
storms. Several days of high barome
ter, and an approach to fair, cold
weathersWill succeed, but weather
that calls for care of life and well be
Jog of man ana beast.
The fourth storm period covers the
roth to the 24th inclusive. The indi-
cations are that some OF the most gen
eral aud severe disturbances of the
month will appear: as early as the
goth we'll defined areas will take up
their march from the west to east.
General rains, with moderate tenn
perature electrical displays and storms
will prevail up to about 2Ist. About
thu 2I5t, rains will turn to snow and
sleet over all sections central to north
ern and precipitate violent northwes-
terly gales and billiards. from the 2Ist
to the 24tn, all winding up progress
sively by great march cold wave.
This is one of the times when special
cars should be taken to shelter, feed
and protect live stock. otherwise there
will be great suffering and loss.
The fifth storm peeiod is central on
the 27th, 28th. and 39th. The pre-
vailing cold which followed the pre-
cediug period will relax and more
storms OF rain and snow will appear,
passing eastwardly over the county.
Shifts of winds to cold will follow
these disturbances.

The Gar must be one of the most
unhappy Of men. The war in the east
has been, fro m the start, against him
and the troubles at home are far worse
than at the seat of war. There is so
much turmoil aud discomfort among
the people that his most trusted min
listers are being blown to atoms by
mobs and he him self must keep with
in bomb proof walls surrounded by
hundreds of soldiers. His worst foes
are those of his own subjects.

We hear a great deal these days
about our navy, its deficiencies and
its needs and the urgent nee essities OF
the navy. We have during the past
fifteen years built many monster war-
ships of various patterns and designs
at the cost OF hundreds. of millions OF
dollars and are fast gaining on
the nations OF Europe in point of
strength and number of ships, When
all the worships now authorized ale
com ,leted and commissioned we will
rank as the third naval power III the
world, England beihg first and France
second, and the present administra-
tion is urging still larger approprla-
tions which if granted Will make us
second only TO England. In this age
of inventions one battleship Is hardly
completed until it is surpassed by
something new and IN few years the
be5tof them are regarded as worth lit
tie more than junk, We have succeed
in getting ON honorably and safely
for more than hundred year and
in our neutrality-suspicious. have FIRE
quently made pretty stiff demands
and come off winners. II other ma
tious tax their people in indulge their
kings and emperors in vain show and
parade, it is no reason why our PEG
pie should be burdened with the ex-
travagance Of big navy and army.

The Republican United States Sen
ate has committed what was few
wears ago denounced by Republicans
all over the country as a most treas
enable act. 1t has ordered that the
old Confederate flags, which have
been packed away for forty years, in
Washington, shall be returned to the
states whose troops carried them in
battle. 1t will be remembered that
during the Cleveland administration
such an order was issued and that
there,was such howl set up IN the
north that the order was revoked.

Senator John J Cornwell offered a
joint resolution proposing a constitu
tional amendment to be submitted to
the people at the next election pro
vidjug that no person shall vote at
any state or national election unless
he shall have first paid his capitation
tax for the year in which he offers to
vote. The measure was killed ofcourse
and all other measures looking to the
pun fication of our elections. The
measure only provided that it should
be submitted to the people and II they
did not desire it they could so express
themselves, but the Republicans were
olraid to trust the people. They know
that it would keep many illegal votes
out Of the ballot box, nearly all OF
> hich are cast for the Republican
ticket. There are thousands of men
who vote in West Virginia every ger =
rral election who have never contrib =
uted a penny to the support OF the
state government and hence have no
c rncern about the cost ofIunning the
tate. 1t was just measure and GEL
a My the people should have right
L. speak upon 1t, yet the republican
leaders ordered it killed and the SEN
ate obey ed the orders.

Gov A. B. White has done the

impoverished soil, like impov-
