work DR. THE INSURGENTS.

The important legislation for
this session now enacted'and con-
gress has adjourned. 1t has been
on the whole remarkable session,
and not the least remarkable feature
is the fact that all the ost i'm
portant bills have been dictated by
a minority of the party in power.
The regular republicans have been
unable to put through a single
measure since the tariff b v was
passed, but have been in innumer-
able in stances .compe led to sur
render to the insurgents and have
their bill, riddled by insurgent
amendments. Mr.. Taft's friends
plume themselves on the alleged
fact that his legisla:iv. program
has been carried out. The fact is
that but one of the Taft bills pre-
sented ready-made to congress has
been adopted as drafted. The bills
passed deal with the same subjects,
but in a different manner, and in
very many ca 1913 the differences are
Of very radical character.
This is more noticeable in the
case of the railroad bill than of the
others, because in many respects this
vas the most important measure,
but more especially because it was
practically completely made over
from the first paragraph to the last,
and made over by the insurgents.
They put in long ;;and short haul
clause. They gave the interstate
commission and the shippers the
standing in the new commerce court
which the original bill denied.
They elimated the clause which gave
competing railroads the right to
consolidate under certain conditions
They changed the bill in such man.
ner as to compel the railroads to
allow the interstate commerce COM
mission sixty days to investigate
changes in rates before they are
put into effect.
The postal savings bill and the
conservation bill were changed in
important particulars by the in
surgent amendments, and it is con-
coded that had lit not been for the
insurgents the bill could not have
been passed. 1t is true that in
order to shape the legislation in SO
rad cal a manner democratic votes
we're necessary. The democrats
could not consistently refuse the
votes however, nor could they have
accomplished anything alone. The
responsibility and the credit for the
bills passed therefore rests with
the insurgents.
In the house the insurgents have
effected a revolution. They have
shorn the speaker of his arbitrary
power, have secured the calendar
Wednesday, have ended the gag
rule and have won for the members

Rewards and PuniShmentS.

tTHE late David B. HILL said an Al
bany editor used to take good
deal 10 heart our loose American talk
about American political corruption. He
claimed-and he was right-that America
was the most honest country in the world.
AS to the distribution of patronage, he
said that it was only reasonable and
right, and it went on everywhere.
Look here he once remarked to me,
is the victorious leader to treat his sup
porters as the old Cuban Shareholder
used to treat his slaves?
This STAKEHOLDER ruled his slaves on
the following principle:

records extend back years where their
records reach back centuries We are
just commencing to utilize our records.
Thus. when we find certain weather con-
ditionS upon our maps we seek previous
maps for similar conditions. and may
count with reasonable certainty upon
similar results.
This work has been going on since
the time of the great Calico, in the
early part of the seventeenth century,
when meteorological stations were estab-
lished in Italy, Switzerland and Germany.
Since then the study Of weather forecast
ing has progressed in more or less STAG
cato fashion. A German of the Paiatine
was the first to complete notable rec
ord of observations in some twelve or
fifteen folio voumes, published in 1870 or
Whereabouts. England. France and Hol-
land deserve first mention for their re-
Spective governments taking the lnltla-
tive in this work in later years. 1t may
confidently be hoped, however. that the
United States weather bureau will not
be found behindhand In furthering this
science, SO interesting in itself. and SO
important from a practical standpoint

Predictions were made only upon the
most solid basis.
''The attitude of the public ran to ex-
tremes, as our weather does so frequent
ly. When prediction was verified, they
exclaimed. How wonderful and when the
reverse was the case, What humbug!'
Three predictions a day was then the
rule
1--WE encountered a peculiar kind of OPP
position from certain religious SectS at
that period. There had been a long-con-
tinued drought, and churches in the af-
fected districts were offering up prayers
for rain. Again and again our bulletins
came out Continued drought until the
papers which were the organs of these
same sects began to take notice of our
pessimistic predictions and to rather more
than hint that the new bureau was an
unsodly institution and was frustrating
the prayers of the faithful from taking
effect.
Il had. even as child a passion for
meteorological investigation. There was
we'll known character whom 1 recall in
New York city, and who was known as
The Sage of Brooklyn Heights. This
man followed the weather reports very
carefully and Systematically, and made
weather predictions which were some
which were widely quoted and gained
him quite a reputation. This brought to
my attention at an early age the subject
of weather prediction, and the eclat at
taching to successful endeavors in this
direction. l made cloud observations
and drawings when | was ten or twelve
years old, and in my later astronomical
studies l never lost sight of what was
to me the fascinating study of meteor
Ology.
Il have always emphasized the fact
that the investigation of meteorological
conditions with a view to deducting
weather laws can only be successfully
prosecuted over very wide area-in
fact. the globe. 1t has always been

bureau should extend not merely all over
this country, but over the entire world, a.
