He cannot afford to deal with or listen to
these men. His only safety is in ignoring
them. His duty is not to them it is not
even to the republican party his duty is
to the country he ought to beware how
he swerves from it. For he is not the
President of party. He is, as we
have often said, in peculiar and
conspicuous manner the President of
the whole country. More than any of his
predecessors he stands Independent Of mere
partisan considerations, and owes it to the
patriotism and wisdom Of both parties that
he is where he is. If gratitude is due from
q President then it is due from him equally
to the wisest, the most conservative, the most
truly patriotic men Of both parties. These
are his true supporters; on these, if he is to
succeed he must lean; these he must call
around him for counsel, and to these in
Congress and in the broad country. North,
South, East and West. he can look for sup
port. But only if he stands firm and unfal-
tering before the menaces OF the pack who
howl that he ''has not properly cared for
those to whom he owes his election"


Another Herald storm Warning Full


filled.


special cable despatch to the HERALD
this morning announces the fact that our
latest storm warning for the European
coast, in which we predicted the arrival
there OF severe storm on the 9th, has
been completely fulfilled. This warning
was sent by cable on the morning of the
23d, and was at once signalled by our Lon
don Bureau to all the important ports OF
the United Kingdom and France. Thus,
four days in advance of the arrival Of the
storm, the British and French COASTS were
warned Of the approach of a danger
GUS storm, and vessels about to leave
formed as to the weather they would en-
counter when two to three days at sea. The
importance Of this information, consid-
ering the narrow seaway between the British
Islands and in the English Channel, as well as
the dangerous coasts that threaten the storm
stricken navigator. cannot be oyeresti-
mated. We are confident that, when the
prejudice and little jealousies with which
our efforts have been regarded in some quar-
ters in England shall become obliterated by
the repeated successes Of the HERALD
weather service, European nations will fully
appreciate our desire and rely on our abil-
ity to protect international commerce as far
as possible. In this undertaking the HERALD
has from the commencement stood alone
and unaided from any source. The United
States Signal Service, through narrow
minded legislation, has been SO cramped
in its operations and consequently limited
in it's usefulness as guide to ocean navi-
CATION as to be wholly unable to afford
us the least assistance. But by sys-
TEN Of observations at sea, organized by the
HERALD and in which we have enlisted the
cooperation Of the most distinguished off,
GERS Of the American, British, French and
German merchant service, we have accumu-
lated q mass Of valuable data on which we
have based our calculations Of transatlantic
storm movements. But behind all this we
have succeeded, after much time and labor,
in discovering the general laws governing
meteorological changes over the United
States, the Atlantic and Western Europe.
and this forms the foundation Of the success
of the HERALD weather service.
