HICKS ON MARCH WEATHER.

The regular storm period, covering
the 10th TO the 14tb, central on the
18th. in every probability will prove
one of the most tempe StuOuS and vic.
lent s:orm periods of the month. Dur
ing the 18th, 18th and 18th violent
storms Of rain, wind and thunder will
sweep over mony parts of the coun-
try. On the south to eastern tanks of
these storm areas, tornadoeS will be q
most natural result. Watch for such
developments wherever the barometer
rs low, the temperature high, with
active and ominous storm clouds
gathering. At the winding up of
these storms, severe billiards., high
barometer and cold wave will rush
down from the northwe ST.
A reactionnry storm period is Gen.
trail on the 18th, 18th and 10th, and at
this time cloudiness and return of
rain and snow may be expee ted. Cold,
crisp weather for the SEASON will be
the general order from about the 18th
to the 22nd
The regular STORM period, central on
the Gath. and reaching from the %
to the 26th, is smother period which
promises to bring storms Of very de-
cided type. About the ~ ia eastern
parts, a marked change to warmer
will set in, attended by decided fall
ing Of the barometer. AZ these condi.
tions advance eastward they ill grow
in area and intensity. clo1diness will
ensue and storms of rain, wind and
thunder will touch wide paths in their
eastward sweep. Quite cold weather
for the last Of March will be very Ken
eral from about the Goth to the goth.
A reactionary storm period is CEN
trail daring the last three days of the
month. The probabilities are that
there will be general rains at this
time, turning to snow in the north
and west. Rising barometer and
colder weather will be ADVANCING
from the northwest as the month goes
out. to spread eastward In the open
ing days of April.

Below is what the News says on the
subjects
when the West vlrginfan makes
the inslnuatfon that Mr.. Mcintosh

opinions by the payment of money
or other improper consideration, IL
descends below the pale of argument
and steps into the wallow of abuse.
However. the same idea may occur
to the readers of the West Virgin
ian.
"Those who read the Mcintosh
papers, are well aware that we have
never had any sort of hesltancy in
critlcizing corporations when their
actions merited it. Because we have
chosen to make defense OF them
against improper clamor, at times.

desire that they have an even
chance before the public. Corpor.
atoms have equal rights with in
dividuals before the law, and the
highest type of cowardlce is to ar

in the eyes of the people, because
of their weakness in making public

1T is not unusual for attacks to
be made upon the corporations. We
witness at the present time organ,

is to curtafl a power of the courts
as old as the hills, and that is most
frequently accorded corporations in

endeavor would have standing at all

directed at the individual instead of
the corporation. Any sort of NOR

taxes should be taken of the people
in general and put upon them

State of its resources and are giving
the State nothing in return.
