THE NATIONAL PARK.
Assistant Secretary Joslyn , of th
interior department , said to-day tha
the opposition manifested by mam
bora of congress in the Yellowstone
D , T. , Nation * ! Park echomo wa
caused by the Union Pacific railroac
company. lie thinks that the rail
road mon are too late in coming for
ward with their objections , The par !
company had been negotiating witl
the secretary for three months bofor
the contract was signed , and the rail
road company had abundant oppor
tunltloR to bo hoard on the park sub
jcet , The fast is that the reservation
might have been secured and im
proved years ago ; nnd the r.iiltoadH
have just learned , when It is too la to
that tnoro is big money in it. Ilufu
Ilatch , ono cf the leading men in th
park scheme , had an interview will
Secretary Joslyn to-day , nnd the latter
tor told him that it was hla opinion
the railroads could not do anything
nnd advised him to go ahead. Mr
Joslyn aye the trouble with the
Union Pacific railroad ia that th
park is liable to bo open to visitor
bcforo the company can got its lim
extended to the park , and they nr
afraid that travel will bo diverted ti
other rnilroadn. Mr. Hatch in
formid Mr. Jonlyn that the idea o
his company wan to build seven
hotels , ono on each of the seven BOO
tionn rented , which would allow i
whole section to each hotel fo
grounds , garden , otc. For the 4,501

Llifch company of speculators i

Mr. Joalyn's charge that th
Union Pacific railroad is at the bet
torn of the opposition to the schem
of leasing Yellowstone park ia nl
bosh. .Mobpdy in thcoo partn wil
charge that this paper is partial to th
Union Pacific railroad. Nor can an
such charge bo jually made ngains
score H of loading papers that hav
boon outspoken in opposition to th
scheme of Hutch & GJ. to monopoliz
the National park for speculative pur
poses ,
The Yellowstone park was so
apart by congrcoi for the people
plo of the United States as a
resort dedicated to rccroation
and pleasure amidst nature's grand
cat aconory. If there is nny nooc
of protecting the park nnd providing
the nccctairy accommodations for
toumto nnd visitors , congress nhoulc
appropriate the money nnd placa it al
the disposal of the interior depart
ment. To loato.tho pnrk to n gimg of
apeculatora , nnd give thorn the privi
lege for many yearn to imposa upou
iravclera and extort money for the on
[ oymonts which that wonderful rcgjou
affords , and to create a monopoly out
of the hot springs that mny linvo curn.
lye proportion equal or greater than
; ho famous upringa nt Carlsbad or of
3adon Baden , would bo nothing short
of piracy. It is not an act of benovo-
once on the part of Mr. Hatch to
ease and Improve the Yellowstone
> ark , but it is the scheme of a very
hrowd financier , who BOOS millions in
: for hiruaalf. and his nsiDcintes
Inasmuch as congress has given no
uthorlty to the secretary of the Into-
1 lor to louae the Yellowstone park , it
would have boon much moro in keep-
ig with usage for the secretary or his
tsistant to have submitted the
ehemo of leasing the park to
ongrcsn bcforo the lease con-
ummated. The supreme court
ias decided that the lease of an
ndian reservation by the secretary of
10 Interior without special authority
rora congress , is void. Wo take it
mt the aamo ruling would apply to
10 loaao of the national park.
TOM HKNURIOKS , of Indiana , who
iaa for n great many yearn baon
03lng QS n democratic presidential
andldato and was Sam Tildon'a mate
n the race of 1870 , haa positively
eclined to accept n place in President
JcDonnld'a cabinet. That is to say ,
oo McDonald , of Indiana , is to bo
io next democratic candidate for the
residency. Ho will , of course , bo
looted. In fact , ho is as good as
looted now. His friends have for
omo tlrao boon organizing a cabinet
or him. Loading democratic news-
apcrs are earnestly discussing the
merits of each candidate , and among
thor things they agreed that Tom
Hondrioks should have n cabinet
fllce , but the trouble Is that Mr. a
Hflndrtcks positively declines. That
will bo sad news for Omaha , or rather
or his brother-in-law who holds n
lositlon of honor in tbo city council.
f Mr. Hondrloks could only bo in-
iucod to recall that decision , ns ho has
o often done before , hla brother-ill-
aw might yet be in time to become
pontmcster of Omaha.
As there ab still two years before a
Mr. President McDonald csn take his
oat , there may bo a faint hope that
Jr. Ilondricks would change his
mind and the
accept postmaster gen
eralship.
PENNSYLVANIA is wrestling with a
great problem , and that is how a state
ovorument can bo managed by two
governors at the same time for five
days. It rooms that the constitution of
the state provides that " the governor
shall hold his oQlco during four years
from the third Tuesday of January
next aucoeeding his election , " and
under this provision Gov. Hoyt wont
Into cflioo on January 21 , 1879 , mak
ing the expiration ol his term fall on
January 21 , 1883. However , it happens -
pens that tbo third Tueiday after the
election of Mr Pattlsou
, will fall on
January 10 , 1883 , so that according
to the Pennsylvania conititntlon his
terra will begin five days before Qov ,
lloyt's terminates.
CHA LIM FRANCIS ADAH * , junior ,
who made n thorough investigation of
the Union Pacifia property when he
was government director of that road ,
has jasi published his views concern
ing the future of that thoroughfara in
n Boston paper. The following is an
extract :
The whole result of my investiga
tions has satisfied mo of the invest-
inent value of this property. Believing
in it nnd having led others to invest
in it , I want to BOO the control of it in
New Eigland. The Chicago , Burling
ton it Qalncy and the Union Pacific
constitute together the Broadway or
Washington street of this city. They
will always bo the chiot commercial
thoroughfares between Chicago and
San Franc's .o. Olhor linca
will ba built through t
the north and aouth of them , bu
these will bo to the Union Pacific enl
what Third nnd Sixth avenues are t
Broadway. At lonct that ia the fro ;
it striken mo. Seeing it in thin llgh
the Union Pacific Booms to mo n vor ;
valnablo property with n very groa
future , so fir as occupying the countr
is concerned. The policy the coir
pany is pursuing ia a thoroughly sonn
ono. Its surplus earnings hnvo fo
years been Invested , nnd are now being
ing invested in feeders ,
Mr. Adama thrown considorabl
light on the trno VAUO of those prop
crtlcs , or rather the values of thoi
franchises. By the enormous oxac
tionn to which the people of this occ
tlon have been compelled to sabmi
these ronda have been nblo to pa ;
interest npon their morlgago debt ,
which represents the first cost of th
roads. They hnvo paid a fair divi
dend npon the stock , and they havi
invtsted millions of the surplus i
foodora that have been stocked an
mortgaged for ull they are worth
ThoBO feeders nilord another chanc
for the aarao operation. But when
the people , who have been taxed t
build and maintain these great road
and their faodora , demand a fair dlvi
stoa ot the burdens of taxation , th
attorneys and organs of thcso roada
toll us that the railroads have born
a greater share of the taxca than any
other class of property.
THE latest corner is r. corner in rub
bor. It is run by a syndicate of Ea
glish , Spanish r.ud Portuguese spocu
latorj. The India rubber ring opcr
atca by controling the high grade raw ,
product known as Para rubber. Ac
cording to etatcmanta made at the recent -
cent meeting of rubber manufacturers ,
the work of the Parn gnm-gathorora is
bandied by nbout 150 merchants , who
ship through eight firms , and it is by
contracting > vith thcso nhippera that
, ho syndicate operates. The pres
sure applied to the high grade article
iaa affected the low grades from Can
ral America , Borneo and Africa to
ho extent of forcing up the price fifty
) or cent. , and the manufacturer are
endeavoring by stopping their factor
ca , and also by forming a competing
company to restore the trade to what
; hey consider a fair basis.
GENTLEMAN GEORGE PENDLETON
may make himself famous by his civil
crvico reform bill , but ho will never

OAUTORNIA is nuking rapid atridos

orniana have just organized n otato

California Funeral directors was very

owing :
Jlisoltcl , That this ntisoctnUon earnestly

ata to any parties who are not undertaken )
r funeral directors Ia good Blinding and
artying on a legitimate buelnua.
Thia resolution will moot the ap-
roval of f cnoral directors in this part
f the country. It is nn outage -
ago that anybody who is not
funeral director in good ) stand-
ng should over receive a list of
> rlcos of cofiina , It is well enough teen
on fide sach a great secret to n person
Irossod in a shroud , but it is coitilnly
unbecoming the dignity of the profcs-
Ion nud damaging to the trade to cir
culate a price list that shows fifty-
lollar coflins will retail for three- hun
dred. Even Toodlos , who invested in
coffin because it was handy to have
ono in the house , had no right , lo BOO
an undrtaker'a price list.
HA 2EN AND WIGGINS.
On the 27th of November last Mr.
K. Stone Wiggins , of Ottawa , Can-
ado , addressed a letter to the prcsi.
dent of the United States , through
which ho warned , ho people of this
country againot a terrible1 atorm that
s to pass across the continent from
the Pacific to the Atlantic , and com-
) lotely sweep the Atlantic coast to the
3alf of Mexico. Thia storm , Mr.
iVigglns predicts , will occur on the
llth day of March next.
"No voBsol , whatever her dimen
sions , will bo safe out of harbor , and
none of small tonnage can hope to
urvivo the tidal wave and fury of this
empest , As the wind will blow from
ho southeast , the planetary force will
> o suflloUnt to submerge the low
amis of the American coast , es
pecially these bordering on the Gulf
> f Mexico and washed by the Golf
Stream , while the air currents for
Boveral hundred miles along the ens
side of the Rocky Mountain range
crwlng to the great atmospheric pres ;
sure in those regions , will spread uni
versal destruction. "
General W. B , Hazen , chief ei na
officer , has just published ft letter in
The Now York Tribune , in which h
discredits the prediction of Mr , Wig
gins , nnd seeks to allay the popnla
fear &b"Ut this impending disaster
General Hazen gives the following rsa
eons f jr his disbelief in Wigglna' pr
diction'
In order to make allowance for pos
labilities , General Uazsnsays :
1. No etorm track has over bee
observed which moved In the path in
dicated by the words "first bo felt i
the Northern Pacific , would appear i
the Gulf of Mexico on the night c
the 9.h , nud being rtflootcd by th
Rocky Mountains would cross thl
meridian ( Ottawa ) from the wont r
noon of Sunday , March 11 , 18B3.
The Rocky Mountains do not posses
the power of "reflecting" a storm
though they may modify its conrso
and it Is difficult to understand how
storm can proceed from the Pacific t
Canada via the Gulf of Mexico nn
duffer nny reflection whatever from th
Rocky Mountains. There are tw
distinct classes of storms which trav
orao this country , the ono which enters
tors the country in the northwoa
( aomo of which can bo traced from
the Pacific across the mountains
nnd moro easterly or southeasterly t
the Atlantic , and the other which ou
ters the country in the Gulf states an
moro northeasterly along the coast. 1
sometimes , though rarely , happen
that two fltormn , ono of each class
unite in their course , which may giv
a slight semblance of truth to such
description that given above , bu
it should bo diatinctly noted that th
words quoted will not sta'nd n oritiea
examination. The same may be nai <
of the scntenca which alludes to th
"planetary force" causing n submer
eion of low lands , and the air current
on the east of the Rooky Mountain
spreading universal destruction
Should a aovero storm area cros
the country in an easterly direo
tlon from the Rocky Mountains
atronij southeast winda will bloi
towards the alarm centro in advance
of It and strong northwest winds wil
follow it , according to a well established
od law of rotation of the winda in the
vicinity of on area of low barometer
This is all that can bo truthful in the
eoutcnco under ilioouncion. There is
no "groat atmospheric precaura" ii
the region of the Rocky mountains ,
except that an area .of high pressure
mny temporarily prevail there , ani
the worda "planetary forco" belong to
the vocabulary of astrology and medi-
ruval superstition upon which modern
science cannot bo too severe.
2. It is absolutely impossible to
predict a atorm for moro than n few
dava in advance. The information
cannot bo too widely distributed thai
no ono can foretell even the genera ;
character of a cominpr season , much
leas the occurrence of a particular
storm in that aeaaon. It ia possible
that the advance of our knowledge
may at some time enable us to predict
the weather for many days in ad
vance , but this ia not possible at the
present time. Meteorology is yet in
its infancy , and no one is yet able to
anticipate the occurrence of a meteo
rological phenomenon for moro than
a few days a week at the moat. If
any one wll ) take the trouble to verify
the weather predictions which. in
those days are oo frequently made by
the actunl wenther experienced , ho
will find that about half o them cro
fulfilled and half fail. Whonm given
prediction ia fulfilled it ia
often made a matter of
marked comment , while the uu
fulfillment of c eimil&r prediction at
at another time ia paaaed over in si
lence The impression , therefore ,
prevails that reliance can be placed
upon the forccastings of weather
prophets , but this impression will bo
removed by any ono who will give at
tention to the eubject , A aeries of
simple guesses , baaed upon no roaaon-
ing whatever , will como true in the
long run aa many times aa they will
fail. Until then weather predictions
are fulfilled moro timea than they fail ,
they must bo regarded na equivalent
to guesses nnd aa having no value what
ever. All predictions of the weather
to bo expected a month or moro in
advance , whether based upon the po
sition of the planets , or of the moon ,
or upon the number of sun spots , or
upon any supposed law of periodicity
of natural phenomena , or upon any
hypothesis whatever which to-day haa
its advocates , nre aa unreliable aa pre
dictions of the time when the end of
the world will como.
During the past ton years the num
ber of Btorma which prevailed in this
country in March haa averaged 12 ,
varying from 10 in 1881 and 1882 i e
18 In 1879. Some of thcso have boon
very severe , and it rarely happens
that the month of March passes in
any year without the occurrence of
ono or moro atorma accompanied by
high wlnda upon the Atlantic coast.
Undonbtodly in Marcn , 1883 , there
will bj Btorma of some sever
ity , and some persons will bo found
who will notice the atorm which comes
nearest to March 11 and claim that
Mr. Wiggin'a prediction uaa voiifiod ,
only that it waa a day late , or a day
early , or waa not quite aa cevero as
was anticipated , or moved in a slight
ly different path , or in some other
way different in detail from that described >
scribed , but that it was Eufiiolently
near to entitle the author to a high
rank aa a prophet , Lot no ono expect
hia prediction to bo fulfilled to tho.
letter it is aafo to say it will not bo ,
but lot every ona expect that the com
ing March will , like all ita predeces
sors In the memory of man , bo char
acterized by storms of greater or ICES
severity.
General Hazon has done well to
allay all needless nlarn > about a pos
sible Jimtor , but for all that , the pro-
c&utlons which Mr. Wiggins recom
mended should bo taken. No harm
and very little loss can como from
taking the needbd clops to prevent
wrecks on the Atlantic seaboard. Gen.
Hazjn may be right , and Mr. Wig
gins may bo way off. He may , however -
over , have made discoveries that other
observers have failed to note , and if
hlSjfpredJctions sh&uld provo true ,
even partially , It would be criminal
for the people in the section most
threatened , especially ship owners , to
have taken no precautions.
