The Supreme Question of the
Hour.
: \
Cnll for the Mississippi River Im
provement Convention.
Tlio Merchants' cxchixngo , of Bt.
Louis , through the undersigned , its
executive committee duly appointed ,
hereby issues n call to the people of
the Mississippi vnllcy for the suloctiou
of delegates to n convention to beheld
held in their city on the 2Hh ! day of
October , 1881 , to deliberate on the
question of improving the great Mis
sissippi river and its navigable tribu
taries. Tlio call is made in pursuance
of a general desire , communicated
through the press , emanating from
vnrimu commercial bodies recognizing
: thc importance of muted nnd intclli-
y tut action on a subject of the most
vital importance , and lixintj upon St.
Louis , the central city of the valley ,
ns tlio proper place for holding the
convention.
The rapid growth nnd settlement
of the Mississippi valley and with it
the development and enlargement , of
.tho export trade , n trade made up in
largely controlling proportions of its
.products , liiis forced upon the thought
of the country the question of cheap
transportation. All the later commer
cial and trade experiences have dem
onstrated that only by the cheap water
route can this question he so placed ,
as in its rusultant influences to repre
sent nnd embrace , fair profit to the
farmer , the manufacturer nnd mer
chant , the classes through which nil
others become participant in the prof
its of industry.
The necessity of improving these
navigable streams , nnd the correla
tive duty of the general government
to give its aid na to a great national
work is derived from a consideration
of their functions in the commerce
and trade of the country. Within the
nrca of states and territories drained
by the Mississippi and its navigable
tributaries is produced nine per cent ,
of the corn , 73 per cent of the wl at ,
S3 per cent , of the oats , 04 per cent
of the tobacco , 77 per cont. of the
> cottim and GG per cent of the value of
the live hogs of the whole country.
Iti addition to the vast supply of food
.nnd textile products the abundance of
cord , iron and timber mark ft as the
.seat of manufacturing industries , the
the great nnd unquestioned source of
American production nnd national
revenue.
Even in the present imperfect con
dition of navigation , ono seventh of
the amount of this vast production
which enters into the export trade of
thu country , goes to the ocean by way
of the Mississippi river nt a cost of
less than one-third nt which it can bo
cnrried by nny other routo.
When it is remembered that this
region has , in the later years , fur
nished to the markets of the world ,
iUie jiroducts which have changed the
"balances of trade" in our favor , and
made us among kindred commercial
races the creditor instead ot the debt
or nation , the necessity for united and
intelligent "work on the part of its
people and of liberal and comprehen
sive action on the part of the national
legislature in the improvement of tlieso
water-ways becomes too apparent for
argument.
With channels made eqnal to the
demands of trade from the highest
point of navigation in tlieso great na
tional arteries to the gulf , maintained
throughout the year in successful
competition with the trunk lines of
railroad , the question of cheap trans
portation , the supreme question of
the hour , tlio foundation to all future
prospci ity , is settled and the country
will enter upon u now career of pro
gress.
gress.We may regard with some satis
faction what has been accomplished in
reducing the cost of transportation ,
yet what has been witnessed is but n
tithe of what may bo anticipated in
tlio future , when the river system uu-
under wise method and liberal appro
priations is placed ns its matchless
value desurves , as its power of devel
opment demands.
With oven more satisfaction may wo
regard the advanced thought which
now requires that the improvement of
the great river shall stand as a nation
al work on its own merits and uncon
nected with any other subject or ob
ject of appropriation.
In view of the magnitude of the
interests involved and the results to bo
attained , we cordially and earnestly
invite the various boards of trade of
the valley so largely interested in
these results , as well as those from
communities outside th ? valley , who
appreciate the scope of the conven
tion , to send delegates fully penetrat
ed with the necessity of action , nnd
with ability to represent the great in
terests at stake.
The convention will bo composed of
delegates from the states and territo
ries in the Mississippi valley , govern
ors being hereby authorized and re
quested to appoint ton from each
state and five from each territory.
From each board of trade or cotton
exchange two delegates for each 100
members , said bodies to bo entitled tent
nt least two delegates.
.From corporate cities of the Missis
sippi valley , where no boards or ex
changes exist , two delegates from each
to bo appointed by the mayor of said
city.The
The president nnd vice-president of
tlio United- States , members of the
cabinet , senators and representatives
in congress and governors of states
and territories will bo invited as
guests of the covention and assigned
seats on the floor during its delibera
tions.

THF GREAT WEATHER-DUES-
SER.
Something About Vounor ami His
System.
"It was slated in dispatches pub
lished this morning , " remarked the
reporter , "that a movement is on
foot in official circles to have you an-
porscdo Gen. Ila7.cn us chief of thu
United States signal serviee. Would
"
you
"Would I accept ? " interrupted Mr.
Vennor. "No , sir , 1 would not ; most
emphatically 1 would not. 1 saw the
dispatch you referred to printed in the
Times nt this morning , but nothing
will come of it. Una not tin- tele
graph some foundation ? Probably it
has. Correspondence touching the
matter has readied mo from high
sources , but I assure you 1 have not
for a moui'snt given the subject any
serious consideration. You see my
system is so very dill'orent from that
of the United States signal service
that 1 should really be out of place in
the position held by Gen. Hozon. "
"Mr. Voiinor , toll mo something ot
your methods. That is a subject of
which the public in this part of the
world , at least know nothing. "
"My methods ? That would bo a
long story. It is n atory , too , that is
hard to tell in words. You ask mo to
try what 1 have never heretofore at
tempted. In brief , the basis of my
work is the result of observation and
the comparison of cause with cause ,
effect with effect , season with season.
It is a moru matter of relationships.
Now , all this sounds abstrucc , don't
it ? And 1 detest high-soundint'
phrases and abstrusencss detest them
above till things. All my life an
active worker , and ever engaged in
out-door cmp oyments , it is no won
der that I became interested in the
weather and made endeavors to fore
cast it , " remarked the Canadian after
n thoughtful pause. " 1 claim no
special gift. What I do and have
done is the result of persistent study
and directing others' labors. 1 dis
covered ono fact , and proving it to bo
a fact beyond question or dispute , 1
have built upon it and but safely , I
think. What was that discovery ?
Just this : That seasons and years
recur in couplets and triaits. Rules
applicable to the first season or year
of a couplet are equally applicable to
the second season or year of that
couplet , and precisely BO of the triads.
Such is the main superstructure of
my work. But 1 soon found that the
system was not bound down to a mere
generality , ' embracing only a season
or year in its entirety. Expcrimont
evidenced that the same calculations
could bo made for a month , and that ,
too , with an exactness that at first
appeared to bo surprising. A'nd T
pursued my work still further , until
now I do not hesitate to bring my
calculations within a week. Yes , I
have been able to designate par
ticular days. That is usually my
rule in the text of my predic
tions. Uut the public should under
stand that , except in special can.es , I
never risk everything upon any single
twenty-four hours. 1 have not yet
reached that point in my system ,
although there is no telling what will
bo accomplished in the near future.
My experience long ago impressed mo
with the force of the recurrence of
periods of similar weather , and to my
personal experience I have added the
authentic records of three-quarters of
a century. Those records cover Can
ada and the United States. They are
practically complete , and they uphold
my theories. Upon them , in fact , tone
no small extent , do I depend for
everything. Sometimes I am bothered
by my inability to decide whether 1
have entered a couplet or triad of sea
sons , and until that matter is settled
am all at sea and quite as likely to
bo wrong as right. Now , an instance
of that was the winter of 1880 , when ,
you will remember , I declined to say
anything positively. I was in doubt
upon many phases of the then occur
ing weather , and was unwilling to
make any forecast. You will bear in
mind the circumstances , There was
the strangest of weather. But the
instances in which I have been obliged
to forego my predictions are wonder
fully few. Such a miss is not possible
once in a thousand times. "
"How do you manage with your
hcadxuarters in Montreal to map out
the weather for Now York and other
parts of the United States ? " asked
the reporter.
"It just there that the special
virtue of comparison comes in , " was
the quick reply. "Montreal is my
'centre , ' as I call it. From that 'cen
tre' all my observations are taken and
all my calculations mado. The sur
roundings of Montreal and the in
fluences that extend from that point
are my primal means of declaring re
sults , next to the teachings of the
records of which I have told you.
The consequences of influences reach
ing out from Montreal are apparent
to ono who knows intimately the in
fluences themselves. And so far as
those influences extend , no far car
they bo traced undorslandingly aw ;
made the basis of calculations as close
as any possible at their very point ol
origin. The relation of weather it
Canada to weather in the United
States has boon ono of my most fasci
nating studies. Clotio comparisons ,
extending over a lonir series of yearsi
have established certain facts that noi
only linrmoizo with my system , bu
that support and emphasixo it. I
is the same story of cause and effect
present and prospective. This is
hard to trace sometimes , but traceable
it always is. Now , hero is an instance
of the weather relations. Midsum
mer frosts at Montreal signify cy
clones and hurricanes in the westen
and southwestern states , To forccas
the former for Canada means a fore
cast of the latter for the other section
See ? So certain Boris of weather are
sure to prevail in the middle states ,
n Now Kngland , and at other points ,
n localitics'larger or smaller , as may
appear , in exact accordance with cs-
ablishcd rules touching the weather
mown at my 'centre , ' Montreal ,
lust now I have not the time to recite
lioso rules the various relations and
ho similarities and contrasts. Re
cently 1 have given more than ordi-
mry attention to the weather of the
states , and no change of temperature
of storm is allowed to bo passed by
mrcconlcd in my office. I would
iko to have you visit my hoadquar-
crs in Montreal } you would find it in-
cresting. Aside from that part of
ny bureau covering Canada you
would see with what cure I am gnth-
oring facts relating to the states ,
Nearly all of the principal newspapers
> f the union roach mo , and I have as
sistants whoso special duty-it is to
read the journals and clip out every
reference to the weather nndtcon -
iccled subjects. All this data is cat
alogued ready for reference and use. "
"When did you first sot up in the
irophot business ? ' " questioned the re-
wrier.
"That is rather hard to stale. For
years 1 had been associated with tiie
Canadian geological survey , ami , to a
renter or less extent , always was
unking predictions. 1 had got hold
> f my theory , and was developing it.
t was in 1875 that 1 dared to make
ny first noteworthy forecast. Early
n the autumn I published in an em-
ihalie manner the prediction that
Montreal society men would make
heir next New Year's calls on wheels ,
ml that rubber , instead of moccasins ,
vould bo the order of the day. Every-
tody laughed at me the newspapers
lold mo up as a butt of ridicule. The
rintors for several years past had
been extremely severe , and my pro-
iclion was rated on all sides as the
ummit of absurdity. But I stolidly
teed it all. And when Now Year's
amo , wagons on wheels and men
vithout their moccasins filled the
treets. I was happy ; the nress bo-
amc kindlier , and my friends began
0 pat mo on the back. Later I dis-
olvod my connection with the geolog-
cal survey , end recently , as engineer ,
have been interested in phosphate
nines in the Dominion. But I have
never allowed other business to take
no from my favorite study. My
vcathor work is growing constantly ,
mid has now reached almost startling
n'oportions. Yet it brings mo in not
1 single penny. All is outgo. The
spouses come wholly from my private
nirsc. "
"You said a moment ago , " re-
narked the reporter , "that you us
rot claimed to forecast only within
i week. Do you expect to bo able
,0011 , to make closer calculations ? "
"Of that I would rather not speak
it this time. But , to bo honest , I
assure you it is my belief that only
he coed Lord can toll what is to hap-
ion in the future to the exact hour
r day. Now , the United States sig-
al service works on a system decid-
y different from that of mine , and
hero is no reason , none whatever ,
vhy it should over make any mistake ,
lowevor trivial. Oh , don't I wish I
tad the facilities your officers have at
command. I think I could make a
> ig record. Your signal force , I see ,
ms recently been indulging in criti
cisms of me nd my system. Not
only are they ungenerous , but they
seem to be willing to do mo a wrong.
They talk much about 'verifying' my
? orocasta , when tlip truth is they have
never had opportunities for such vori-
: ication. They have never , in a sin
gle instance , directly received a pre
diction as originally made by me , but
, hey pick up my forecasts after they
mvo floated about in your newspapers ,
ind then , when they are old , proceed
o pass upon them. Somebody has
charged that not half of my forecasts
ire correct. That is false , absolutely ,
naliciously false. But wo will dis
miss this subject. "
