THE VERDICT SHOULD STAND.
, It ia rather Burbrlalnfir that the East

- at conclusions, should take, the stand

East Oregonian evidently labors under
i misapprehension of the 'merits of the
' case; and believes the damages asked
are based upon the value of the land
sought. to be condemned, for it' says: -
"What are r the . taxable values of
their properties, both personal and real
estate? Do they pay taxes based on
valuation of real estate, to the extent
' of the sums awarded them as damages
for only a small part of their real
nroriertv? Were the values on which
. : the damages are based creations of in
dustry or enterprise? If they have not
contributed to the support of govern-
" ment through the taxation of values
which thev claim will be diminished
by the building 01 tne government

The value of the land which will be

it would be immaterial if they did not
pay any taxes whatever.. The ques
tion to be considered, and which was
considered by the jury, if not by the
court, was how much the owners of
the property would be damaged and
what would be a reasonable compen

the amount to be exorbitant.

"that thd 'capital they represent Is so

It is also deplorable that the country's
wealth has so centered in one locality
that prosperity is retarded all over the
nation whenever stocks drop a few
points on Wall street. But while the
country owe? much to these brokers
and stock jobbers, and they are en
titled to as much consideration as any
other people in the. land, the govern
ment is not, or at least should not be
run exclusively for them. The
Americans who reside in Cuba, whose
lives are endangered and whose prop

If the Telegram's theory, that it Is re

we should submit to all manner of it-

rather than hazard war. If England,
Germany, France or Turkey should

so would disturb business and cause
some Wall street speculator to lose a

BIMETAL1SM. NEVER.
Whatever else may be said of the
New York Sun, it ordinarily treats
facts as they exist, and when it makes
an assertion is prepared to back it by
competent proof, and when that jour
nal makes a statement editorially it
can ordinarily be relied upon. Hence
when the statement is made in its edi
torial columns that the gold standard
will prevail though Mr. McKinley's
administration, it may be set down as
true, for the Sun was one of his strong
est supporters in the recent campaign,
and is beyond-doubt ' on the "inside"
now. Therefore those who supported
Mr. McKinley upon the assumption
that his election would result in the
adoption of a system of international
bimetalism bad as well abandon their
hopes. - - .
Recently theCleveland.Ohio, Leader
tated that Senator Wolcott's resolu
tion for the appointment of a committee
to propobe a plan for an international
monetary conference, was a fulfillment
of tb pledges of the republican na
tional platform, to which the Sun re
plied:
"This pledge iu the republican plat
form, never ought t have been made,
and was not honestly made. It was a
mere springe to catch silver wood
cocks. JNobooy witn any sense ex
pected or, expects anything to come
out of that pledge. As a matter of
fact, it was the one weakness- and il
logicality in the Republican financial
f 03ition in the recent canvass. It was
an attempt to seem to hedge, without
any real intention of hedging, '
"It is not likely that something de-
finite-will be accomplished by means of
Mr. Wolcott's resolution or any other
plan for bringing about international
bimetalism. " No important nation
wants such a thing, an if there are-
nations that Co want it, they are not
anirtl and cannot coma to an ap-rp
ment upon tenure.' Provided another
International conference can be had,
nothing will come of it.
"The sentiment in favor of interna
tional bimetallism ' is not growing
abroxd or anywhere else, except in the
beads or tne lew persons who are per
manently agitated over the subject,
Various European statesman may be
willing to say more or less civil things
about it, but not a thing can they be
in'dceud to do. In short, international
bimetalism is pure moonshine and
will o' the wiBp.
"The Cleveland Leader's declaration
that the republican party i is not, un
friendly, to silver in spite of the pbpo-
c.ratic attempt to commit it to the ad
vocacyofa permanent gold standard
is a specimen of the cowardly and by
pocritical talk on the part of republl
cans who know better, which did so
much to foster the silver craze. The
republican party, in the last campaign,
fought and licked silver monometal
lism, the false X'bimetallsm' about
which the popooratB and populists
chattered; and the republican party
fought and won tbe victory for a per
manent gold standard, gold monomet
allism. It is strange that there should
be in Mark Hanna's town a newspaper
so ignorant or so hypocritical as to as
sert that tho republican party is not in
favor of what it battled for this year.
Gold monometallism or silver" mono
metallism; those are the necessary al
ternative. International bimetallism
is a dream."
. MAGEO'S SUCCESSOR.
Major General Juan - Rius Rivera,
who has been chosen as Macejo's suc
cessor, has assumed command of the
Cuban forces in Pioor del Bio,' and it
expected he will lead his army across
the Trocba and on to Havana, in due
time. Rivera is a Porto Rican by
birth, and is an experience soldier.'
He fought through the tett years' war
under General Maceo, and had the en
tire cpnfidence of. his chief, and .on
capable general in bis command.
Rivera is a great strategist, and under
his leadership the Cuban forces will
be well goneraled. With him as
leader the Cubans . feel confident of
success in battling against the Span
iards, and having confidence both in
his ability and his -patriotism they will
follow wherever .he leads. While
Cuba lost a great general in tho death
of Maceo, she has found another. in
Rivera.
And so Spain is going to make . one
more grand rush upon the Cubans, and
display their ability to crush out the
rebellion. That Is,-Weyler will go. on
one more of his raids into the country
and butcher a. few hundred women,
children and inoffensive planters. In
the meantime the United States will
express her sympathy, but nothing
more. - ' ' '
Tbe Cfaicasro express seexis to Aare
Btruck upon a plan that rather knocks
the wind out of the single taxers' sails'.
It proposes to reverse their idea of tax
ation, and exempt all homes to the
value of $2,500 from taxes. ..This would
come, nearer the point "than patting
all the burden . . of -.'Sustaining govern
ment npon one class of : property land.'
It is the desire' Jof very ; citizen to be
possessed of a home,' "but many! would
never acquire ou It stng.le tax
theory war to prevail. ". . "
WHY PRODUCE SUGAR?:
The Salem Statesman is aoxious that
the pledge of the republican nation:;!
platform to encourage the production
of sugar be fulfilled, and wants a
bounty on the home product and a
duty on imports. In the same article
ic makes this statement regarding
sugar productions in other countries:
"Hundreds of thousands of people in
the British and French West Indies
have been reduced to misery by their
sole dependence upon eugar raising as
a means of living. In the French is
land of Guadeloupe, - for instance,
ninety per cent of the total product is
cane sugar, and 10,000 persons depend
upon this industry. But they and the
dense population of the British i.sland-i
in the Lesser Antilles see dire want in
their doors today because they cannot
sell their sugar for what it cost to pro
duce it."
If it is true that these paople are un
able to realize the cost of production
for their sugar, then it must be true that
we are getting our sugar for less than wc
could produce it, hence, in order that
our sugar raisers be not driven to the
verge of starvation, a bounty so high
as to be burdensome would have to be
offered. And further, why shou?d
our people be encouraged to embark
in an industry that has proved disas
trous in sections where climatic con
ditons are most favorable? Why
should we want our people to engage
in a business that starves out ' the
cheanest labor on earth?
However, tne statesman's report' of
the conditions that exist in- the West
Indies maybe over drawn, and possibly
sugar growing maynnt be so disastrous
a business as is made to appear, for
the sugar planters of the United States
have been able to maintain their plan
tations for a good -many years, some
times in direct competition with the
pauper sugar raisers of other countries.
Still neither of these facts is an argu
ment in favor of fulfilling the pledge
to do something for sugar by placing a
bounty on the home product, for the
system of bounties, as a principle, is
one of the most pernicious ever adopted
by any government, since it is a tax
on all for the benefit of a very few, and
has not even the redeeming feature of
a protective tarin, tnac ox creating
revenue from duties levied on similar
products that are imported.- It is not
absolutely necessary that this govern
ment produce a single pound of sugar,
especially so long as it can be bought
abroad, as the Statesman asserts, at
less than cost, nor is it desirable that
we produce, any. if it must be done
through paying bounties.
A JUST DEMAND.
A measure is pending in congress to
reimburse the settlers who bought
land within tbe limits of the railroad
land grants that were forfeited, and it
is indeed time such a measure should
become a law. When a grant of every
alternate section within certain limits
was made to .the Northern Pacific
company, a law was also passed re
quiring settlers acquiring title under
the pre-emption law to pay . $2.50 per
acre, double the minimum price.
This was considered just, since it. was
held that the value of the..: Und
would be enhanced by the building of
tbe railroad, but when tbe-road was
not built within the specified time tbe
grant was declared forfeited, and
roverted back to the government, and
U now being sold at $1.25 per acre,
though the settlers-who acquired title
under tbe pre emption law and paid
$2.50 an acre, derived no benetit, nor
have they been reimbursed for the
overcharge.
The objection that has been raised
to repaying the settlers is that tbe re
ceipts of the government are less than
tbe expenditures, hence the treasury
is in no condition to meet the demands
that would be made upon it were such
a measure to be' enforced.
This is poor argument, to 'say the
least, for the government, while it
should not be pbilantrophic, should
at all times be just, especially when
dealing with its own citizens, and since
an exorbitant price was exacted from
settlers within the limits f . the for
f eited land grant, justice would demand
that the overcharge be refunded. . And
at the present time the government
can well afford to be just to the settler
within the limits of tbe forfeited land
grants, for large sums are being paid
into the interior department daily for
tbe purchase of forfeited railroad lands
in vicinities where they were charged
double price a few years since To
repay them would simply be convert
ing the money the department is re
ceiving- back to the channels from
which it come. -. . "
Tbe present would certainly be a
fortunate time for the settler's 'of this
this vicinity, who. have paid $2.50 an
acre for their pre-emptions to demand
a rebate, wnile tne railroad lands are
being purchased under the cash en
try provision of the law. We would
suggest that a petition setting forth
the facts in the,, matter and also pray
ing congressto pass the bill introduced
by Senator Mitchell, be circulated
among' the settlers and forwarded to
to congress immediately after the re?
convening after tbe holidays. If action
in this matter is. taken at once, the set
tlers may get back the excess they
have paid for their land, for now is the
time to. make the demand, jrhen the
goverhment is. receiving money from
the parties who ask to be reimbursed
CHRISTMAS 'GOOD ' WILL.
"Peace on earth, good will to' man,"
has rung out from human lips' for
centuries, and 'tis well these-words
continue to be heard throughout the
Christian world, at least once a year,
since through the rest of the 364 days
Our energies-' are devoted more ex
clusively to the advancement of self
and selfish interests than to giving
good-' cheer to our fellows. And while
we .have, sung those words, we have
also established the pleasant custom of
giving and receiving tokens of love
and affection on each recurringChrist
mas day. ' The custom is indeed a
happy one,', and will be perpetuated
through coming ages in all lands where
the -Christian religion, is. recognized
Yet while this custom is pleasant is is
sometimes abused', for in our desire to
'bestow' tokens of affection upon our
friends,' to express our good will at
Christmas, timewe sometimes become
more generous than discrete. :
: But our generosity at this especial
season Is to'a great extent excusable,
for the Spirit of giving can net run riot
without carrying gladness to a myriad
of children and relief to many in dis
tress.; Christmas being above all the
children's festival,' the abuses . that
grow upon its lavish observance can
be, in a measure at least,' condoned,
because of tbejpleasures that come to
childhood through its pretty devices.
Christmas' trees, withthelr magical
fruitage, may. represent extravagance
where economy is due, but people are to
in no mood to listen to suggestions of
prudence at Christmas time, and it is
perhaps well that this is so. It is well
that there is one season of the year
when the restraints of economy are
laid aside, and only a desire to create
good will and cheerfulness prevails.
CHANCE FOR A KINETOSCUPE
It takes no great vigor of imagina
tion to fill the comody-drama so sug
gestively outlined in the daily pro
gram of tariff schedule hearings an
nounced by 'he ways and means com
mittee .recently.
"Monday, Dec. 28 Chemical?, oils
and paints, spirits, wines and other
beverages. Tuesday, Dec. 29 Cotton
manufacturers, silks and silk goods."
And so on. And as each article is
named with the day for its considera
tion, one can see the men who deal in
it swarming about the committee,
whispering of the size of their cam
paign contributions and shouting tlibt
they are ruined by a 43 percent tariff,
that the duties must be raised or they
will have to either cut wages or go oi t
of business. One can see the pitifi 1
greed, written on the faces of those
seekers of unjust privileges. One can
hear their brazen prevarications and
misrepresentations.
Vanity Fair has no other show of
human nature la- its unlovely aspects
that equals the hearing on tariff sche ¬
dules. This coming show snould be
photographed for tho kinetoscope arid
exhihited in every towu and village
and cross-roads hamlet.' As a cam
paign document it would offset a good
many of Mr. Banna's boodle bags. N.

700 MUCH POLITICS.
Thoughtful men who have given the
subject considerable attention, says an
exchange, contend that the country
suffers more from excessive politico
than from almost any other source of
tribulation. It is held that politics is
prostituted so as to seriously interfere
with business; to prevent and destroy
beneficial legislation for municipal.
state and national purposes; to destroy
good feeling in localities; to encourage
lying and deception; to foment strife
between employers and employes; to
disturb social relations; to destroy tho
peace and harmony of religious organi
zations, and to produce various other
results hurtful to the peace, happiness
and prosperity of the people- The
kiad of politics that does this sort of
things is not genuine politics, which
in its true signification means the
science of government: it is of the
bogus order, engineered by unscrupu
lous agitators and manipulators, whose
motives are purely selfish and mercen
ary, and who una pleasure oniy in
things that tend to make others miser
able. EDITORIAL NOTES.
Tbe Omaha World Hwald, when re
ferring to the best sugar bounty sys
tem in vogue or to be put in practice
makes the following sensible sugges
tion: "If the-taxpayers have to pay
for sugar factories in the way of boun
ties, they bad as well own them and
derive the profits if any there be."
The law requires that the banks of
the United States bold in reserve
something like one billion dollars in
cash, leaving little over half a billion.in
circulation to perform the offica of a
medium of exchange in the 'regular
ayenues of trade, still we are told we
have a very perfect banking system.
' Where is that return of prosperity
that was promised with tbe restoration
of conndencer The dispatches an
nounce the failure of . many of tbe
heaviest manufacturing and mercan
tile establishments and the closing of
a number of the oldest bankingfirus,
This kind of prosperity is not what

scarcely more tpan e, year ago
Cleveland was being condemned by
certain papers and statesmen for not
taking a hand in the. Hawaiian revolu
tion. Now those same papers and
statesmen are lauding him for not in
terfering in behalf of Cuba. When
Grover changed- his politics their es
timation of him also changed.
Secretary Olney is certainly guilty
of a discourtsey to congress, and if be
speaks authoritatively, - President
Cleveland is alike discourteous. His
statement that tbe president would
veto the Cuban resolution, should it
pass congress, savors very much of a
bull-dozing scheme, to forco congress
to submit to the will of the executive.
'The dispatc'nes announce that
President-elect McKinley and wife are
visiting a friend in Chicago, and that
the house in which they stopped was
guarded during the nfghi ' by three
police. This speaks badly for Chicago.
Is it possible that the citizen whom
the nation has honored by electing
him president mhst be supplied with a
body guard when he visits tbe city?
Sound, money and prosperity must
certainly be. floating around some
where in the country, but it is decidedly
hard to locate, unless we look upon the
old bill boards that were'eovered with
posters last fall that read something
like thiis: "Vote for McKinley, Sound
money and Prosperity." It is not to
be found in the records of tbe banks
that are daily, suspending nor in tbe
factories that are shutting down. '
A Salt Lake City man is an enthus
iastic believer in tbe transmutation
of silver into gold. He says that it has
certainly been established that gold
and silver are merely the effects of
electrical vibrations, tho difference in
the vibrations making, the difference
in the metals, and the difference can
be made up by science afr an immense
profit.. If bis theory should prove to
be correct the silver mine owner will
be able to dispose of their product at a
better ratio than 16 to 1.
Now that there is a definite and bus
iness like proposition laid before the
people of The Dalles for establishing a
woolen factory and scouring plant here.
it rests with the capitalists of the city to
determine n tnis step toward advance
ment shall be taken, i One good, man
ufdeturing industryestablished here
will bring a dozed others inside of
three years. Shall The Dalles become
the manufacturing center of Oregon, is
a question that can be decided in short
order if the moneyed men will lake
hold in earnest.
President Cleveland appears to have
set his foot (and it is a pretty big one)
down on tbe proposition for the United
States to recognize the independence
of Cuba. Tbe dispatches say that
whatever course congress may finally
take with reference to the Cameron
resolution, the efforts of the present
administration, at least, will continue
to be exerted in behalf of an autono
mous government fir the Cubans. Dur
ing the correspondence between this
government and Spain, the Canadian
system has repeatedly been referred to
as a model which Spain might do well
to follow in granting home rule to her
folh
Cuban colonisU-" Cuba will not thank
this government nor the administra
tion for intervening in her behalf so
long. as its intervention means any
thing thort of independence. The
Cubans are struct ling for freedom and
nothing short vi that will be acceptable.

In Senmar!: the value of real estate
has increased 193,000,003 in thirty-

Washington, Dec ; 21. Senator
Cameron today presented to the senate
the report- of the foreign relation corn
mittee favorable to thi adoption nf a
joint resolution recognizing the inde
pendence of the repnblic f Cuba. Th
report is an exeaustive review of this
ceatury's insurrections ' by people
claiming independence by right of re
volt and intervention by any other nation:--.
"The only question that properly re
mains for congress to consider," the
reports says, "is the mode which
should bo adopted for 7 the step con
gress is pledged to take.'
The report concludes that the atti
tude of President Mocroe in 1822 is the
only attitude lhat'eau be regarded as
obligatory and the course pursued in
the recognition of Colombia Li the
only course congress can conslsently
adopt.
Following is a portrait of the report
as submitted by senator Cameron:
"Resolved, by the senate and house
of representotives, in congress assem
bled, that the 'ndependence of Cuba
be and tbe same is hereby acknowledged
by tbe United States of America.
"Kesolved, That the United States
will use its friendly offices with the
gover iiueut of Spaia in bring to a
close fie war between Spain and tbe
reoul lic of Cuba -1 f .
The report rn the resolution is vol
uminous, and goes into tho discussion
of tbe right of friendly natious to- In
tervene in behalf of revolutionists' at
considerable length. It reviews tbe
principal rebellions during the past
century, and cites the intervention of
different powers in behalf of the rebels
as a precedent to warrant, the United
States to' now ; intervene - between
Spain and Ler Cuban" snbjects. Con
cluding the report says: .; ' "
" The practice of Europe in regard to
Intervention as in the instances cited
bas been almost invariably harsh and
oppressive. Tho practice of - the
United States has been almost invar
iably mild and forbearing. Among
the precedents which have been so
numerously cited, there can be no
doubt as to the choice. Tbe- most
moderate' is the best. Among these
the attitude taken by President Mon
roe in liS22 is the only attitude which
can properly be regarded as obligotory
for a similar situation today. ' '
"The course pursued by the United
States in the recognition of Colombia 1
i-j tho only course which congress can
consistently adopt."
Discussion of the report was post
poned until after the holidays.
A BIO SINK FAILS.
Th National.. Hank of Illinois Is Com
pelled to Ulcse Its Doors.
Chicago, Dec. 21. The National
Bank of Illinois, one of the oldest and
best-known banking institutions in the
city, with assets of between $12,000,000
and $15,000,000, closed today. The fol
lowing notice was posted on the doors
before banking hours:
"This bank is in tho hands of tbe
national bank examiners, by order' of
the controller of the treasury."
This action was decided upon at a
meeting of the directors last nigh
after the bank had been suspended
from the Clearing-House Association
of Chicago. Of the 16 banks that
cleared through the Kational bank of
Illinois, two are closed E. S. Dryer &
Co. and Warmansdorff & Eeineman.
These two are mortgage loan banks
and savings societies in a small way
and their failure is not expected to
effect any business bouses. Tbe as
sets of E. S. Dryer & Co. are given at
$1,600,000; liabilities, $1,200,000. War
maosdorft' & Heinman's assets are
$650,000; . liabilities, $400,000. The
Security Title & Trust Company was
appointed .receiver for both firms.
The failure was a great surprise in
financial and ' business circles. The
ca ise of the suspension,' as given in
resolutions adopted by the clearing
n use commissioners, are "un warrant'
able and injudicious loans," thrcuh
which the capital and surplus of said
bank is seriously imperiled if not ab
solutely lost.
Tbe statement was made that a loan
of about ,$2,400,000 to the Calumet
Street Railroad Company, of which J
W. Parson, of Farson, Leach & Co., is
presilent, had caused the National
Bank of Illinois to suspend.

The pacificos living on farms near
Estervos were driven from borne Sat

Could Mot Make Collections.
ST. Paul, Dec. 22 The bank of I
Minnesota, with a capital of SS 0,000,
generally considered one of the strong-
est in the Northwest, was closed today.
State Bank Examiner Kenyon is in
charge. The Union Stockyards bank,
closely conuected with the Bank of
Minnesota, also closed as a conse
quence of t be larger failure. The clos
ing of these banks bas not affected
other banks in the city. The reason
given by tho bank officials for the fail
ure is the geLcral stringency and diffi
culty cf making collections. The Bank
of Minnesota was the oldest in St.
Paul. It was established by Dawson
& Co. in 1850.

Washington, Dec. 21 Secretary

state of the finances shows the reven
ues of the government from all sources
to have be-n $409,47),408, and the ex
pcndituresf434.07S,654, which leaves a
deficit for the year ended June 1, 1SU0,
of $25,203,245.
In addition to the ordinary revenues
collected duringtho year the cash in
the treasury was increased by the fol
lowing sums:
' From tbe sala of SIOC.OOO.OOO 4 otr
cent 30 year bonds, $111,160,246: and
from the issue of 4 per cent bonds in
liquidation of interest accrued on re
funding certificates converted during
the year, $4130, making atotl of $111,
170,370. As compared with the fiscal year
189o, the receipts for 1S!)6 increased
$10,102,215.
The revenue of the government for
the current fiscal year, tho report esti
mates will be 107,703,120 and the ex
penditures for the same period are es
timated at $472,233,120. leaving an esti
mated deficiency for the year of $04,
500,000. These estimates of receipts and ex
penditures the secretary say?, are
made upon the assumption that there
will be no substantial change in exist
ing business conditions, and that the
present scale of public expenditures
will' not be reduced. But If ourordl
nary business activity should be re
sumed and the consumption of articles
subject to taxftion should increase to
its normal proportions, there may be in
fact, no deficiency iu our revenues.
WORK- IN THE SENATK.
Pe'ligrew Called np the FuelUe Railroad
: uui.
Washington, Dec. 22. Pettigrew,
republican, of South Dakota, called up
his resolution appropriating $10,000,000
to tako up the first notes of the Union
Pacific railroad. lie said this step was
imperative to protect the interests of
the government against a scheme of
those who held the notes, whose pur
pose was to absorb the branch lines of
the Union Pacific. He believed the
Union Pacific is not insolvent, and the
floating debt was created for the ex
press purpose of complicating and em
barrassing tho government liens.
Gear, chairman of the committee on
Pacific roads, asked if Pettigrew
favored tbe peration of the roads by
tbe government. lie answered cer
tainly, that the government could not
possibly manage tho Pacific roads
worso than they had been managed.
It would do away with pools, combina
lions and discriminating rates which
niido American railways a target for
criticism.
Piatt of Connecticut spoke of the
imperative necessity of con3idering the
important question of settlement with
tbe Pacific roads. The indebtedness
reaching $115,000,000 was in danger of
being lost, and yet this vast debt and
the peril of its loss seemed to disturb
no one. . .

fendaut. The charge was preferred
against biin by Thomas Taylor of as
sault with intent to kill.
The night of December 10 a quarrel
occurred, during which Taylor struck
Dugan. The latter drew a revolver
and shot Taylor in the left t-ide of tbe
head near the temple. Taylor went to
the ofiice of a physician, who dressed
his wound, but was unable to find tbe
bullet.
Taylor's testimony was unsupported

the defense put in the claim that no

struck Taylor on the side of the head
with the revolver, it appeared that no

New York, Dec. 23. The gunboat
Annapolis, destined for service as a

naval academy at Annapolis, was
launched at Klizubeth at 10:30 a. M..
Tbe Annapolis is a vessel nf an en
tirely new typo in our navy, and is of
composite construction, all tbe framing
beiug of steel. Planks of Georgia pine
are worked in the frame ' below the
water line, secured by composition
bolts in such a manner as to prevent
galvanic action, and then covered with
copper. This will make tbe vessel
largely independent of docking facili
ties aud economical in tho use of fuel.
Another feature of the vessel that
distinguishes it from other naval rhipa
i-t the use of full sail power in addition,
to steam. - It is a sister chip to- the
Vitiksburg and Newport.

U BesnU of Whlrlwl-id In the A'
phere I'ar Above tliu Earth.
The fact that hull is formed at an
indefinite but, in most cases, a great
height above the surface-of tho earth,
and thot it is commonly precipitated
when storms ore raging, has prevented
any direct observation of the process of
freezing the vapor of tho atmoKphern
into ico pellets or large mas.', and
what has been decided regarding the
phenomena of hailstorms in almost
wholly tho work of theory and logic
Nevertheless come points are pretty
clearly established.
In the first place, hall is the result,
as a rule, of whirling or tornado-like
storms. There may be no whirling on
the surface of tho earth but, according
to tbe Cleveland Leader, it seems cer
tain that in the higher regions or tne
air, where hail is formed, there is al
ways nn atmospheric disturbance re
sembling what is commonly callod a
cyclone when it sweeps tho ground. A
curious indication of the soundness cf
this conclusion was to be noted the
other afternoon, when the storm v hlc!
wrought such havoc with skylight $
had passed by. Out over tho late
there was n prent r.i;ins of cloiH, very
hi;rh end dark, wh'e'.i h:id the f.irra if
an oval race trad: 'f i-oornious propor
tions. It might oa i! liavo l-cea iifty
miles in lcn;;th .a:; ' two-thirds tlr.it
distance in width. 'ia j formation of
the cloud mass was r.- '.iccably such as
niijr'it have rcsuUfl C-inu tho violent
whirling lirourid it moving center of the
wholo built of ol ud vapor. The ap
pearance of U.y was thoroughly in
harmor.y with Cio accepted theory of
the formation of hn:I. It is lielieved
that the nucleus of a large hailstone to
usually a bit of snow or snow-like ice,
wHich falls from the snow strata, or
level, above tho rain level, into the Lit
ter, and is caught up with a cloud of
raindrops and mists into tho highT
freezing regions of the atmosphere by
the force of a whirlwind. The ro:.n
and water in the form of mist, whk h
clings to the know nucleus, or touches
it as it is whirled swiftly up into the
intense cold, freezes around it as clear
and solid ice.

when I was trou fishing last year np
in northern New York," said Andrew

the pools were but lightly bordered
with bushes or cover of any kind, con

from the bank as possible, and at the
same time be able to drop my fly over
tn the water. I had followed this plan
with poor success, getting only one or
two strikes in as many hours.when sud
denly my line began to run out with a
whirr. No trout had ever carried off a
fly for me in such a way before, and I
was nonplussed, but in a moment I saw
that it was not a fish that was making
my reel sing. Itising.from the surface
of the stream and flying above it was a
bee marten which had gobbled my fly
as I cast it over the bank, and he was
making away with it. The bird soon
bad nearly all my line, out, and not
caring to lose it,I began to play him an 1
