A LEssos.-We hope that Tuesday's
election in this County will be . lesson
to Republicsns Who bolt their party nom
nations under promise of Democratic
support. We have been informed that
Democratic leaders begged Messrs Rap
pelys and McIntosh to keep s.oof from
the Republican Convention. and run as
Independent candidates. promising them
the entire Democratic vote. sgsinst the
regular nominees. No sooner did the
fight Wax hot, than the Democrats
brought out Sm atwood. Of Doniphsn. as
their candidate for Tressu rer. snd pretty
generally voted for him. They betrayed
Rsppelye. and undertook to elect their
msn BY means of Republican divisions.
We do not think they have succeeded.
Judging from the returns we have already
received. We think Craig is elected.
The Democrats would have served McIn.
tosh the same way. had it not been that
such course would have exposed their
real aim, and would have united the Re.
publicsns on their regular ticket. We
hope this election will teach Republicans
how to appreciate Democratic faith.

ST. JOE. AND NRMAHA VALLEY.-Tbe
citizens of St. Joseph tsve been holding
meetings. to discuss the proposition Of
building q railroad to connect that city
with the Nsmaha Valley Road. But
one route seems to have been discussed
a branch connecting with the Denver
Road, at Hiswsths. and running in the
direction of Fslls City or Salem. There
is an easier. better, and more direct route,
we'll known to leading railroad men oil
st. Joseph. which will doubtless come in
for full share of consideration. 1t is q
branch from the St. Joseph and Council
Bluffs Road. at Forest City. to the river
bsnk opposite White Cloud. thence up
this side Of the river. On this route
there will be fewer miles to build; it is 9
level bottom all the way; and as the river
must be crossed by either route. it can b.
done here a. well as st St. Joseph. Had
st. Joseph taken time by the forelock
she could havs monopolizsd this route,
and kept out ell comers. As it is, she
can share equal advantages with any 9th.
er company.

A Hard Winter Impending.

Without claiming to be especially
weatherwise ourselves, although We have
come views of our own upon the season.
deduced from observation. experience and
study. we can not bat attach sufficient
credit to the signs and tokens which old
hunters and wovdmen on this continent,
and scientific calculators in Europe. are
adducing to sustain the prediction that
we are to have an early and severe winter
throughout the Northcrn Hemisphere.
The beavers and prairie dogs in the
West and Northwest of America. along
with many other animals that house them
selves away in he cold seasons. have
greatly advanced their preparations for
the frost this year. and on the Atlantic
coast the Storm King sends Us no equiv
ocal or infrequeut warning.
In Europe. no less important an organ
OF learned opinion thsn the Bnlletin d'As-
sociation Scien,i6que. Bulletin Of the
Scientific Society J. announces that the
winter Of lS69-70 will will be exception
ally severe on the Eastern Hemisphere.
II reminds its readers thst the winter oil
1858 was very remarkable for its
mildnsss. its mean temperature not hav.
ing excseded 6 deg. IS m. The three
most moderate preceding winters Of the
century had been those of 1911. 1926,
and 1884. when the mean Temperature
were g deg, 6 deg, and 6 deg. q m,
respectively,
Previous to our century. the only win.
ter smopg those of which the temperature
vas calculated that approached 1865
in mildness. was 1877. The severe cold
snap that came in January last was an.
other resemblance between the two sea
sons, for there was no snch lowering o
the temperature in the mild winters thai
Va have mentioned. The other singular
accompaniments of this similarity viii
attract the notice Of any close observer.
NJ. Renou, writing in the bulIetir
above mentioned. tells the world thai
since the atmospheric pertubra.ions o
lS59-6O. the years have been warmsY,
clearer and dryer. and the barometer
pressure lighter than before. These m
omslies. he thinks. can not fail to find
their compensation ere long. the winter
bafore l".' closely corresponding with
that of 1928 and everything be,okening
that about 1870 we shall have great
winter like thar Of 1S29-3O.-New York
