What more need we say of South

partments Of government. civil and

the minds that have produced the
grandest results for u country and
the world.
When a prolific little animal. vain
of her numerous progeny, reproached
a lioness for nursing but one, the no
BILE beast replied, But one, but 1t
is a lion" And now. my friends it
was these men and their brave SON
who found themselves in '61-65 array
ed against their brothers of the North
in the greatest conflict ever waged
on earth. Defending what the consti-
tuition of their country made their
rights. Perhaps we will all agree that
human slavery was and is morally
wrong. We must admit that it was
constitutionally right. Not long since
I heard a Southern orator state that
slavery was not the cause of the war.
In this, if history be true. he IA mis-
taken. While the question Of slavery
was not the immediate cause of hos
tilities, for that was a question of
state sovereignty or whether we were
a nation or a c~onfederacy. but Afri-
can slavery led up to that question
which precipitated the struggle be-
tween the two sections of our coun-
try. The question had to be settled.
Settled it was, though the sacrihcial
altar drank the best blood that ever
flowed, and the flower Of a great ma
ton was cut down.
TO dwell on the carnage and cruelty
of that great conflict. when father
was arrayed against son and brother
against brother" Let us fain forget
~indignity and insult, and learn 10 re-
joice in the integrity of a reunited
nation.
1t was a sad day for our country
when a Dutch man of war landed on
our New England shores a ship-load
OF African slaves. Sad the day when
our New England brothers, finding
slavery Improbable in that climate,
unloaded them on their Southern
neighbors. then afterward took the
initiative in taking from them what
they once recognized as property. But
Inconsistent as it may appear these
are the facts of history.
The negro has been 3 problem from
the time he was landed on our shores
even to the present. He is a serious

II is to be hoped that it will be
solved without the further loss of

WEATHER FORECASTS
LONG RANGE PREDICTIONS IDLE
No Legitimate Basis for Estimates
Based on the Moons Phases or
Position of the Planets.

Position of the Planets.
The chief of the Weather Bureau
has recently placed before the public
a pamphlet entitled Long Range
Weather Forecasts. by Prof Z. b. Gar
iiott. that is full of interesting things
to one Who is a seeker after the truth
regarding these delusions. A great
many things in 1t are worthy of fur
ther publication but We wish, at this
time. simply to give its conclusions:
l. That systems of long range
weather forecasting that depend upon
planetary meteorology; moon phases.
cycles, positions, or movements; stel-
lar influences. or star divinations: in
dications afforded by observations OF
animals. birds. and plants, and esti-
mates based upon days. months. sea
sons. and years have no legitimate ba-
sis.
2. That meteorologists have made
exhaustive examinations and comparf-
sons for the purpose of associating
the weather with the various phases
and positions OF the moon in an earn
est endeaEor to make advances in the
science along the line OF practical
forecasting. and have found that while
the moon, and perhaps the planets.
exert some influence upon atmos-
pheric tides. the influence Is too slight
and obscure TO Justify consideration
of lunar and planetary effects in tho
actual work OF weather forecasting.
3. That the stars have no apprecia-
BILE influence upon the weather.
4. That animals. birds. and plants
show by their condition the character
of past weather. and by their actions
the influence of present weather and
the character OF weather changes that
may occur within few hours.
S. That the weather OF days.
months. seasons, and years affords no
indications OF future weather further
than showing present abnormal condi-
tions that the future may adjust.
6. That six and seven-day weather
periods are too ili-defined and irregu'
lar to be applicable TO the actual work
OF forecasting
Z. That advances In the period and
accuracy OF weather forecasts depend
upon a more exact study and under
standing Of atmospheric pressure over
great areas and a determination of the
influences. probably solar. that are re-
sponsible for normal and abnormal
distributions Of atmospheric pressure
over the earth's surface.
s. That meteorologists are not an
tagonistic TO honest. well directed ef'
forts to solve the problem OF long
range forecastlng. that. on the con
trary, they encourage all work in this
field and condemn only those who. for
notoriety or profit or through misdi.
rected zeal and unwarranted assump-
tions. bring the science OF meteorology
into disrepute.
Q. That meteorologists appreciate
the importance to the world at large
OF advances In the period OF forecast
ing and are inclined to believe that
the twentieth century will mark the
beginning of another period in meteor
ologicsl science.

years before. an Indian had impaired
its secret to LATTE, and shapira's de-
ceased uncle. the former owner Of
Kanauhana. had been one of Bara-
tarias most faithful agents.
Gen. La Roche and Lafitte had held
n long consultation. during which the
latter had told his host of the recent
visit from the English officers: of
their proposition and OF Beiuche's de-
rarture for New Orleans for the pur-
pose of laying the Barbarian offer
before the governor
La Roche. like Lafitte. wondered at
Beiuche's unexplained failure to re-
turn. He also expressed surprise that
in the face of such an unusual and i'm
portant event. he had not been sent
for By the governor. with whom his
relations. both personal and official.
were very close. and who. he felt as
sured. would not decide the matter

He was back within an hour, but
saw nothing of Mademoiselle de Gaze
reau until all we're seated at dinner
when young Stewart was giving a
lively account OF something that had
occurred that forenoon. while he was
hunting.
The story created considerable
laughter. and Iafitte. noticing the
softened look and gracious manner Of
the Island Rose toward himself as
oribed them, as well as the fearless
glances with which she met his eyes,
to an entirely wrong cause.
They would have made him very
happy, being so like those he had
formerly known. had 1t not been for
the belief that love for another man

t..ude toward himself. just as the real
