Special to the Gazette
Washington Aug 6 It is claimed
President Harrison or a representative of
his has written to a prominent Ohio He
publican that in his opinion it were an un
wise policy just now for the Republicans to
force the silver issue This is taken as
being significant in view of the general be
lieved report here that President Harrison
is moro than ever indisposed to veto a silver
bill should such a measure succeed in pass
ing through congress Tho presidents
friends hero lire agreed that it would be a
bad policy for him at this moment to offend
the West and Southwest by antagonizing
the silver views of these politically impor
tmt sections of the country
Ohio Republicans are having no end of
trouble The wool men threaten to revolt
because tho McKinley tariff bill has not
given them the increased prices they were
promised The ShennanForaker row
bodes no good to the success of the state
ticket and now the colored voters are hav
ing their inning The latest reports from
Columbus announce that considerable de
fection of this element from the Republican
ranks is imminent in the coming election
Many of tho leading colored Republicans
do not think they havo received a fair share
of the offices to be given out by their party
The Democrats have taken pains to reward
with oftlces the few colored men who have
come into their party in recent years and
this is having tho desired effect Tho tariff
question will also split off a few colored
voters from the old party The mass of
this discontented colored element it is said
is likely to go go into tho Democratic party
but the Peoples party will catch not a few
It is estimated that of the 5000 colored
voters in Columbus alone fully 1100 will
bolt the ticket
A Dangerous Predicament
On the other hand the announcement that
President Harrison is thinking of appoint
ing John M Latigston colored excongress
man from Virginia to the United States
circuit judgeship has thrown the Southern
white Republicans into a flutter of excite
ment A special dispatch from Raleigh X
C printed hero this evening quotes a
prominent Republican lawyer as saying
if Harrison thinks he will hell the Re
publican cause in Ohio and Indiana by
elevating one of the Southern negroes to
the bench he is very much mistaken He
will hurt the party not only in these states
but will kill at one fell swoop his only
chance of carrying Wes Virginia North
Carolina and two or three other Southern
states It would never never go
How President Harrison proposes avoid
ing tho scylla of negro discontent on the ono
sido and the charybdis of Southern white
dissatisfaction on tho other can bo only
stated by those who are believed to gain
the gentlemans confidence It is a knotty
problem and it is doubtful if he himself has
solved it

To the Gazette
Since my last letter events of importance
have occurred to our colony Th rc has
been an effort on tho part of some Chicka
saws aided by the United States troops to
evict a certain portion of the settlers in the
Chickasaw Nation As to the merits of the
case wo are hands off As the land in
controversy belongs to the Chickasaw Na
tion we grant them the right to control it
We think this eviction will result in the al
lotment of laud in severalty to the Chicka
saw tribe An eviction of fanners in July
looks like the Imliaus wanted the whole
crop instead of their rent The Fort Sill
country joins tho Chickasaws on the West
This land belongs to the United States
and not to the Indians Tho In
dians efforts to stand in with
the cowmen and fleece the settler only
shortens the opening of the whole Indian
Territory to settlers and statehood It is
quite likely that many of the evicted set
tlers will go on to Wichita county and join
the Fort Sill colony They can get free lots
at Clara and rent laud The railroad
commission of Texas has taken official con
trol of railroad freight and passenger rates
in the state our hauling freight and ticket
rates will bo the same as the general public
This relieves our management of a burden
some task as the rates are fixed by law
We think however it is for the general
good Our colony agent at Iowa Park in
Wichita county is George T Bevcn When
our colony members arrive at Iowa Park
they should report to tho colony agent at
once Ha will furnish them information
that will be valuablo to them and render
them assistance in securing locations But
few if any of our farmers will movo until
fall and winter but our business men and
town builders can go at pleasure Our ar
rangements are 10 per lot at Iowa Park

on Red river nine miles north of Iowa

Heated Period
Special to the Gazette
St Joseph Mo Aug S My last letter
gave forecasts of the very changeable
weather from August 4 to 14 The next
storm wave will be due to leave the Pacific
coast about the 10th cross the RockyAlle
gheny valley from 17th to lJth and reach
tho Atlantic coast about the 80th The
regular movements of theso midsummer
storm waves from west to east will not bo
so manifest to casual observers as wero
thoso of the spring months The rains and
other effects will develop only in isolated
localities and will appear moro as chance
and irregular disturbances than the effects
of regular storm waves This storm wave
will inaugurate tho hottest period of tho
summer and bring the finest corn and cot
ton weather of tho season The weather
will not bo settled but cliangeablofrom llith
to 22d after which it will be more uni
formly warm and dry
I must correct my statement about the
cotton crop I meant to say that this years
crop would not exceed that of last year but
inadvertently used the wrong figures Tho
crop of 1S90 was about S0 iO000 bales and
this years crop is estimated at 9000000
bales I do not believe it will reach that
amount To make a more radical state
ment than this would be construed as an
effort to affect prices Tho buyer and seller
the manufacturer and consumer are all
specially interested in the date of the first
killing frost aud the question as to whether
the crop will mature early or late for tho
volume of the cotton crop depends on these
two points There is same danger of the
late corn crop being cut short by early
frosts in the Northern com belt
riAXETARV METEOROLOGY
It is a species of supreme arrogance for
orthodox scientists to pretend that they
have investigated planetary meteorology
for not one of them understands it A num
ber of them have declared that there is noth
ing in the claim that planets affect
the weather because after long and
careful observations they find the changes
of the moon havo no influence on the
weather Of course not Planetary me
teorology makes no such claims and there
fore tho tests they have made have no bear
ing Others again declare that they have
carefully examined the equinoctial theory
and find it does not hold good The diffi
culty with them is that they do not under
stand the equinoctial theory It is not
claimed that the equinoctial theory de
mauds a storm everywhere on the
Jlst of March and September It is not
even claimed that these equinoxes
originate storms but that they influence
them We do not look for a storm on the
21st of March but whenever tho regular
storm wave is due near that date we expect
the equinox to increase its force In their
investigations these orthodox scientists
have taken the 21st of March and Septem
ber as the storm days and as they find that
the equinoctial storms do not uniformly oc
cur on thoso days they conclude there is
nothing in the equinox theory The trouble
is not with the equinoxes but with tho ig
norance of those orthodox scientists
who never make a discovery and know
nothing outside of tho theories announced
hundreds of years ago when our predecess
ors were just emerging from the dark ages
So far as I know there is none but myself
who understands the system of planetary
meteorology I use as the basis of my calcu
lations and therefore no one is competent
to investigate it I am the discoverer not
of all the facts but of important facts
which make of planetary meteorology a har
monious whole It is very complicated
however and if I mako mistakes it is not
the fault of the system but because of er
rors in my calculation I have no secrets
regarding my theory but no ono can ox
pect to understand it in a day The sub
ject is equal in extent to that of law or pol
ities or theology Within a year the plan
ets cause about 100 electrical disturbances
and to group these so as to know what
storm waves will bo affected and to what
extent is no small matter and those sci
entists who have never given a days study
to the subject are presumptuous when they
claim to have investigated that of which
they are supremely ignorant
It is my design to give as full information
as I can on this subject through my pub
lished letters which go regularly to forty
daily papers and a number of weeklies be
sides being copied into a large number of
weeklies but some of the dailies and many
weeklies are not prepared to publish dia
gram aud illustrations which aie
necessary to a CO plete understand
ing of the street As before
stated subscribers to this paper can obtain
theso diagrams and illustrations by cor
responding with mc I am preparing to
givo through these public letters during
the fall and winter months more complete
information as to planetary meteorology and
will discuss electricity as the cause of mo
tion One kind of electricity the positive
being tho large and tho negative the small
quantity electricity the cause of magne
tism magnetism and attraction identical
every atom of matter endowed with its own
power of motion that power is electricity as
manifest in the natural magnet Each
planet revolves on its axis because of its
own inherent forces and around tho sun
because of the movements in that direction
of the elements that surround the sun
Sun and planets are not never were
molten matter but radiate electricity not
heat Heat and light do not penetrate
space but originate and aro confined to the
atmosphere of the sun and planets The
electric envelope of each planet determines
its orbit and distance from its primary
The attraction of gravitation is a push
Tho planets float The centripetal and cen
trifugal theories are errors The calculated
revolution on their axis of mo3t of the
planet3 are errors because of their clouded
envelopes Sun spots are similar to our
earth storms and are from the same causes
Our storm waves move entirely around the
earth and their forces are controlled by
planetary positions Tropical hurricanes
cause our cold waves W T Foster

during the six months ending June 30 1S91
was 1184063187 as against 213070007 in
the corresponding six months of the pre
ceding year From this it is however
next to impossible to draw any definite con
clusions as to the workings and effects of the
McKinley bill Some apparent uecreases in
value of exports are due to strict
regulations of the department as regards
the invoicing of goods at their place of

all invoiced from Magdeburg by sugar
brokers there no matter whether it came
from Germany or from Austria Now
Austrian sugar must be invoiced at the

The increase JJin the J alue of cer
tain exports is also not always due
to the increased number of invoices but
frequently the exertions of our consular
corps to prevent uudervaluations where
formcsSy in many places a system of de
ploraole looseness prevailed and prices
were accepted any way Now there is the
strictest discipline and watchfulness To
ConsulGeneral Edwards much of the credit
of this achievement is due He started his
reforms in spite of all opposition
and carried them through He was a > si > ed
by every consul in his district In the
southern districts under ConsulGcrcral
Mason a similar spirit prevails Ucsides
the reasons given above other extra
ordinary circumstances prevent the
possibility of judging the effects
of tho McKinley bill by figures given In
anticipation of its passage heavy shipments
of all kinds of goods wa rushed across the
ocean The American market was over
stocked with goods and in consequence the
first year of the bills existence will show a
decrease in the exports from Germany to
the United States

Ono of the Speakers None oftlie
His Guns Jlere Today
Programme
The Farmers Alliance barbecue readied
its climax yesterday In addition to the
large number which had already camped
on the ground additional Alliance men and
subtreasury advocates arrived jesterday
with their families and took a hand in the
proceedings At 5 oclock it was estimated
that 3000 or more people were on the
ground Considerable disappointment was
felt by the Alliance men over the fact that
the leading men who had been advertised to
speak had failed to materialize Lai to
numbers other than Alliauco men had
gone out thinking that Gen Weaver
and that sockless exponent of subtreasury
ism Jerry Simpson might turn up at the
eleventh hour and address the multitude
But neither Jerry nor the general have as
yet made their preence known and
those in charge have atiout abandoned the
hope of their coming The nouanpearance
of these gentlemen necessitated a
change in the programme Music was fur
nished by the glee club which sang famil
iar airs Songs that predicted the final
overthrow of everything political except
the Alliance L J Brownsou of the Indus
trial Educator stKike first Mr Biowu
son only intended to start tho
ball rolling and talked briefly of
the good that would necessarily
follow a reforming of the national press a
revolution as it were iu every department
of newspaper work After Mr Brownson
15 F Keis of the Kansas Commoner took
tho stand The sole mission of this gontlo
mau seemed to be to blight the Fort Worth
Gazette with his shafts of sarcasm
and his occasional attempts at
wit He made odious comparisons
affirming that The Gizettk reminded him
of a Republican sheet in Kansas He then
commenced a tirade against the Democratic
press iu general and said that it dodged
such questions as the subtreasury and sil
ver questions and kept up the cry of tariff
reduction Mr Keis then condemned
the forco bill as outrageous and
unjust and as the spasm of
Republicanism The financial situation was
next looked to the speaker affirming that
paper was the equal of silver certificates
The contraction of tho circulating medium
he gave as the cause of the present depres
sion and denied that overproduction had
the least to do with money stringency
Mr Keis was vehement in
his advocacy of tho adoption
of the subtreasury plan and proceeded to
show by facts and figures how not alone
the fanners would be benefited but that
every class would reap a rich harvest from
it He next gave his ideas on the railroad
question and gave it as his opinion that
passengers should be carried as cheap
as freight He also advocated gov
ernment ownership of tho tele
graph systems Mr Keis closed
his speech by again handling The Gazette
with ungloed hands and wound up by
completely flaying it
In tho afternoon Messrs Coleman of the
Southern Mercury and Vincent of Kansas
spoke Mr Coleman who has recently ar
rived fiom Georgia spoke first His re
marks wero confined in a great measure
to the defence of subtreasuryism
He is a fluent speaker and
interested the audience for over an hour
Mr Vincent of Winfield Kan followed
Mr Coleman He does not claim to be an
outandout Alliance man nor a rabid sup
porter of the subtreasury He spoke
mostly on the land question and the rela
tion of tho government thereto His
speech was one of tho most practical
and forcible of any that have been made
since the speaking began
It is not certain who will speak today
but there are several on the ground who
only await orders to deliver up their ideas
on the needs of the country Among these
is W R Lamb of the State reform press
association Mr Lamb will be
remembered as tho gentleman
who demanded recognition in tlie anti
subtreasury and antithird party convention
here on July 10 and 11 and who was denied
the privileges of the floor by the president
He has been present since the first day and
will probably speak today
The barbecue closes today

Nearing Dissolution
London Aug 7 The close of tho sea
sion of parliament brings to the ministers
only a brief cessation of work and to tha
politicians only a short respite of speech
making Tho recess will be the liveliest
experienced in many years each side work
ing in view of the fact that it will bs
the last campaign before tha
dissolution of parliament Balfour
will open the campaign on Monday at Ply
mouth when it is expected he will give A
further inkling of his solution of the prob
lem of Irish county government to which
the cabinet is distim tly pledged Since tho
prorogation speech announcing that tho
coming session would deal only with
questions already elaborated upon all
rumors of a general election hae ceased
The members know that the legislative pro
gramme mentioned in the queen s speech in
November last is left incomplete and will
be resumed next year It is possible
even now to predict with exacti
tudo upon wiiat legislative achieve
ments the cabinet finally hope to
take the judgment of the country Ucside
the Irish local bill tne ministers havo ver
feeed an important ICnglish measure de
veloping the existing sstem of local gov
ernment by creating district councils Tlio
bill lo assist the putvliaso of land allot
ments and amending in favor of tho workman
the law aflecting the liability of employes
will reappear with every chance of passage
The opposition are quite prepared to sec tho
government succeed in carrying these and
other minor popular measures without fear
ing that the cabinet will ho thereby so
strengthened as to avert defeat on
an appeal to the country The bunion of
tho work of tlie recess rests upon Ilalfour
in his Irish local government bill Tho
measure will bear tle smaller possible re
semblance to the home rule measure Tho
leading principle will prevent the boards
created under its provisions from belnj

Talkin Worlds Pair
If tho presence of royal persons can in
sure the success ot the Worlds fair in Chi
cago its success now seems to be assured
It is certain that several members of tho
English royal family are showing such
an interest in the progress of the prepara
tions as indicates an intention
on their part to visit the fair
and communications havo reached London
from Berlin which leave little doubt that if
Euiope is at peace at tho time of the fair
the German emperor will indulge himself
in tho greatest voyage of his life in seoinsj
America The keen and grow
ing interest taken in Ijindon in
tho fair renders it probable that
an invitation from the mayor of Chicago to
tho Iord Mayor of Ijjiidon asking him to
inspect the sito and preparations for tha
fair this year would find acceptance
