Hot WEATHER. The weather for the last
few days has been hotter than has been known
here at the same season of the year for an Indefi
mite length of time For eleven days, August
20 to September 8, the thermometer rose everv
day above 80 degrees, and on each of the four
last days TO go, and the last day to 81 degrees
and during the whole period it did not fall in the
night below So degrees. One night 1.-THE 9Th
inst) it fell only to n degrees; twice to rs, once
70, II, 70, SO degrees, &c. The Meteorological
Journal which was formerly published in this pa
per, and from which notices have occasionally an
peared since, has been continued regularly since
the beginning of 1918, nearly 29 years. In all
that time, there has been no such period of hot
weather, so late in the year. That which an
preached the nearest to it was in 1928, when a
period OF ii days ended on the first dav of Sep
TENDER with the thermometer at noon at g5 de-
grees. The mean Of the greatest heat of each
OF the eleven days was, in 1928, SO degrees:
in 1916, Sc degrees. But the nights were then
cooler; for the mean of the greatest cold of each
day was, in 1928, sc degrees, in 1916, II degrees
and the mean of the whole period in 1928, II. in
1916, 70 degrees. 1t should be remembered too
that the former period was full week earlier in
the year. There has been no night in Septem-
Der since this journal was begun, in 1918, so hot
as either OF the last four nights, and no dav in
September since 1928, so hot as either of the last
four successive days. The hot weather wound

ADMISSION OF AN OPPONENT. The Eman
cipator, in an article, written in view of the COM
ing State Election, pays the following tribute to
the Wings of Massachusetts,:
Massachusetts, has been for fifty years habtu-
ally opposed to the system of politics of which
Mr.. Jefferson, and afterwards General Jackson.
were the great representatives. Through all
the mutations of names, aims, pretensons, and
men, this has remained well nigh constant and
hxed state OF things 1t is so still. Yet Massa-
chusetts is very democratic state. There is
not State in the Union that has so large pro-
portion OF its people so well situated both by in
telligence and condition to judge and act indie
pendently, as Massachusetts. There is not
State in the Union whose body of laws is so in
tentionally framed to guarantee equal rights,
equal protection, and an equal chance for pros
perity to all its citizens.
