Climate of the New North

Harper's Weekly, in a re.
cent interesting article descrip.
tive of the country traversed
by the route of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, gives the fol.
lowing reasonable explanation
Of the remarkable mildness of
climate and fertility of soil
which characterizes the vast
region which has come to be
known as the New Northwest.
That journal says =,
The fact of the mildness OF
the climate which prevails along
the belt of country tributary
to the line Of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, is abnudantly
established. Nowhere between
Lake Superior and Puget
Sound is the climate colder
than in Minnesota; and this
great State is not surpassed as
a wheat.producing region, or

The Bigamist Bowen, car,
petbag member of Congress,
has been acquitted, although
clearly proven guilty, through
the changing OUT of a deform,
ed negro juryman bribed to ac-
quit. This fellows name is
Venning, and he seems to be
kept about Washington in the
pay of just such scoundrels as
Butler, as he is known to have
defeated two or three verdicts
by changing out'' against the
other eleven jurymen for bribes.
Justice in the District of Go,
lumbia is not only a farce, but
an infamy. Judge Wylie, who
presided at the trial, said he
would be very reluctant to dis.
charge the jury if there was
any chance Of a verdict, but
thought that nothing would be
gained by sending the jury out
again. If ajuror be gotten up.
on a case with an improper
motive, such a juror would be
more than a match for the
eleven others. It was impossi-
BILE to see how a verdict could
be obtained in any case if not
in this under the circumstances
known to the court.

in healthfnlness Of atmosphere,
Dakota is very similar to Min
nesota; and from Dakota west
ward the climate steadily mod
ifies, until, in Oregon, and
w ashington Territory, there is
almost no winter at all aside
from rainy season, as in CAL
ifornia. Throughout Dakoto,
Montana, and Northern Idaho
cattle and horses range out all
winter, and in the spring are
fat and strong. Records kept
by government officers at the
various military stations on the
upper waters of the Missouri
show that the average annual
temperature for a series OF
years has been warmer in Cen
trail Montana than at Chicago
or Albany. This remarkable
modification of climate, the ex.
istence of which no well-in-
formed person now questions,
is due to several natural causes,
chief among which are these !:
First, the country lying between
the 44th and 50th parallels is
lower by some 5000 feet than
the belt lying Immediately
south. The highest point on
the line of the Northern Pacific
Road is $500 feet lower than
the corresponding summit of
the Union and Central line
Both the Rocky and the Cas-
cade ranges, where they are
crossed by the Northern Pa
cifc route, are brokensdown to
low elevations compared with
their height 400 miles south
ward. This difference in alti-
tude would account for much
of the difference in climate, as
four degrees of temperature
are usually allowed for each
1000 feet of elevation. But,
second, the warm winds from
the South Pacific, which pre-
vail in winter, and (aided by
the warm ocean currents cor
responding to our Atlantic
Gulf Stream), produce the
genial climate of our Pacific
coast, pass over the low noun.
tain ridges to the north of
latitude 44o, and carry their
softening effect far inland, Civ
ing to Eastern Washington the
climate of Virginia, and to
Montana the climate of Ohio,
without its dampness and chill.
The same cause.-the de-
preston of the mountain ran
ges toward the north-accounts
for the abundant rainfall in
nearly all parts of this vast
area. The southwest winds,
saturated by the evaporation
OF the tropics, carry the RAIN
clouds eastward over the CONT
mental divide, and distribute
their moisture over the fertile
belt stretching from the noun
tains to the lakes. Further
south the mountains, with their
greater altitude, act as a wall
against the warm, moist, west
winds; hence the colder winters
and the aridity Of portions of
the regions south Of Montana
and east of the mountains
That the climate of that new
Northwest which is now to be
to settlement, travel,
and trade is such as to make it
a congenial home for the mi
grating millions of Central and
Northern Europe, and the
crowded portions of our own
land, there is no doubt.

ton County.
AT no time in the history OF
this country was there ever q
greater demand for thorough
organization of the Democracy
than at the present time. AT
least two very important cam
paigns are approaching. Time
and advantage is gained in al
most every undertaking by
commencing early. The peo-
pie of this country have been
taught a lesson by thOughtless-
ly allowing the reins of the
Government to pass from the
hands of the DemocIacy into
the clutches Of bitterly poison,
overbearing, and tyrannical
Radicalism--a lesson that will
never be forgotten. The wick
ed Radical Rule has been tried
and quietly submitted to du-
ring the past ten years--only
to the detriment ofevery hard
working, honest citizen. The
time has now come when the
people want a change in the
administration; and in order to
effect this speedily, the work
must commence in every school
district, and township in this
State. The Spring Elections
are just at hand and it is very
important indeed that the best
men should be selected to fill
the various Offices. Let "Little
Vinton" County not, fail to do
her duty; let the work COM
mence at once. Let there be
harmony in making the nomi-
nations, and when made, let
them be warmly supported
A triumphant victory at our
Spring Elections will be a
great stimulus to success at the
fall elections. We hope that
every Democrat in each school
district will see the Importance
Of achieving it. We have ev-
cry reason to be encouraged.
"The skies are very bright
Last fall the Democracy made
gains everywhere, except in
some portions of Ohio and
New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, end Missouri wheeled
gatlantly into line. Nearly
the whole South is with U.S.
The electoral vote, as it now
stands, is almost a tie. The
Radical leaders, Office holders
and seekers, who have taxed
the people until many are una.
BILE to pay any more taxes, are
growing respondent, and just
as certain as thorough organ,

mocracy, just SO sure will vic
