MAY WE A I'HER.
We call attention to the last par* 1
graph of Mai forecasts, p. 33 of our '
1898 almanac, in whi.-h we explatn J
the fact that the sun's magnetic ami
electric power is greatest about the'
months of May and June over a j
longitudinal belt covering the cen-
tral parts of our country. Hence
the storms during this part of the
season take on the most active elec-
trical features, ami when extra dis-
turbing causes happen at the same
[time, tornadoes, cyclones and heavy
j general storms of lightning and
thunder are must frequent and fatal.
We do not calculate that Miy this
year will bring an unusual number
(>f hard, dangerous st >rms. The
j last half of June and the first half
of July seem from our standpoint
I of reckoning to promise m >re vio-
lent disturbances than May. We
also believe that there will be ample
moisture to mature all early crops
over most parts of our country.

very warm weather and general de-
pression of the bar< meter, ending
in heavy storms, during this period.
If the barometer does not rise and
the temperature remains high, with
easterly and southerly winds, until
the 14th. many violent storms will
be highly probable on and touch-
ing that date. It can do no harm
and might result in great good to
watch all storm indications care-
fully at this period. Another cool
wave with high barometer will prob
ably follow these disturbances.
Another fall of barometer, rise in
temperature and general return to
storm conditions will be the order
about 16th to 18th. Change to
high barometer and cooler may
rush in behind this low area, but
change to much warmer with a
marked fall of barometer, ending
in a series of daily rain and thun-
der storms, may be reasonably ex-
pected from the 20th to 24'h.
Watch all vicious looking storm
clouds about Saturday, Sunday and
Monday, the 2 tst to 23rd. If wind
currents, temperature and barom-
eter do not change by the 23rd, a
daily cycle of rain and thunder
storms may be expected until such
changes do appear, even if they
last up to and through the reaction
ary period central on the 27th to
29'h Very high barometer and
change to much cooler, with danger
of h^avy frost far northward," are
very probable when storm condi-
tion break up and the high baro
mefic area comes on from west and
north.
No one need be surprised if many
things out of the ordinary transpire,
such as seismic shocks, solar out-
bursts, auroral and magnetic dis
turbances, with some wicked, dan-
gerous storms, the last half of May
and ten days or more into June.
and starving for a long time ; what
pie there is has been placed on our
cupboard ; why should we divide?
It is true that the Republicans
taught us Utah Democrats all we
know about silver: it is true that two
years ago they did what we never
would have done—deserted their
party to make a fight for what they
believed to be a holy principle—but
we are not philanthropists, we do
not deal in the finer courtesies that
attach to cultured society ; grati-
tude has never been a ruling passion
with us, and we have over and over
again demonstrated that we never
desire allies except when we are in
a close place and need sappers and
miners to storm the citadel. But
when we are inside and everything
is secure, why should we care for
anybody save ourselves ? ' " Then
the I ribune observes : " Surely it
ought not any longer to be a con-
cernment to the silver Republicans
what these men say or do. They
are simply spoilsmen. They have
not a principle in the world which
they hold as high as they do party
spoils, and this being true, its truth
being established by their own dec-
larations and admissions in our re-
cent conference with them, it is de-
basing for silver Republicans to car-
ry any more flags of truce to their
camp. The silver Republicans
should make an honorable, clean,
open handed fight for principle. It
might lead to victory, but at the
best, even if it ended in defeat, the
I'arty would go with its honest flag
flying and to the music of honest
drums."
Now let us feast on some
dainty morsels from Hon. Carmark,
who was elected in '96 by the "unit-
ed silver forces" to represent the
Memphis, I'enn., district in congress:

SENSIBI E PINGREE.
Gov. Pingree of Michigan is win-
ning the reputation of being clear
headed and cool under alt circum-
stances and his good sense is ap-
parent in many ways, but we have
seen nothing lately more to the
point than the following from the
Detroit News :
"A Grand Ledge veteran was giv-
en a severe calling d >wn by Gov.
Pingree at noon. He called for
permission to raise a company in
his town for the Soanish war.
"'You are old enough to know
better than to ask a thing like that,'
sharply responded the governor. 'In
the first place, we all ought to be
content to wait for the president to
tell us what he wants, before we go
to kicking our heels over this thing.
I hen again, you can be in better
business than stirring up young men
and diverting their attention from
their spring work.
"'You've had a taste of it and
ought to know what war means.
Even if troops were called for, you
would be doing a good act to advise
the young men to consider the mat-
ter carefully before volunteering.
Kifty per cent of the Michigan boys
who would go to Cuba at this time
of year would die of disease inside
of six months.
I hen the fi^ht would be with a
barbarous nation that knows no
such thing as a prisoner of war, but
shoots every helpless soldier down
in his tracks.
