Let Us Have Economy.
The congress that has just closed
is much criticised for its extrava-
gance. In addition to the expenses
made necessary by the war, mem-
bers of congress, of both political
parties, have recklessly voted to
scatter money right and left. This
congress appropriated in all $1,566,-
690,016, more than two-thirds of
which had nothing to do with the
Spanish war. And it did this in the

Wednesday, the 19th to Friday 21st
in renewed and heavy storms of
thunder, rain and hail. We name
Friday, the 21st as the most prob-
able date for such disturbances,
from the fact that the earth is on
the equator on that date. Readers
must keep in mind the fact that the
opposition of Jupiter will intensify
all disturbances during the last half
of April. No one should be sur-
prised or alarmed to feel the earth
shiver with seismic shocks, and all
threatening storm clouds, during
warm, muggy weather and low ba-
rometer, should be carefully scan-
ned, before they break in unlooked-
for fury. Another spell of very
cool weather with frost northward
will naturally follow after the sto rms
lar reports at other times, and see if
there is not evidence that some ex-
tra disturbing cause is at work. It
is not at all necessary that these
disturbances should prove fatal, and
fill the earth with rumors of death
and destruction, in order that they
be of scientific value in deciding the
truth of a theory. Storms, torna-
does, earthquakes and all similar
phenomena pass with little notice
and less comment, unless they are
attended with great destruction of
life and property. But they are
These; storms and earthquakes, all the
about j same, fraught with as much impor-
tance to those who are seeking for
nature's causes as if they hail swept
the earth as besoms. Let a million
rally to us who will help us chase
down all causation cycles, and who
will go 011 perfecting the work after
we have gone to the grave. There
are no reasons why April should not
prove a very pleasant month gen-
erally for the pushing of all agricul-
tural work. The month goes out as
a storm period comes in, which will
culminate in the first days of May.
