Change Of Temperature In the
Northern henliHpnere.

Mr.. Howorth has been engaged 70,
some time on a series Of papers discuss
ing the changes that have taken place
to the present time il regard to the
distribution of land aud water, aud the
consequent effect upon the climate
He finds that the result has been 4
great Increase in the amount of cold in
the fur north, rendering regions such
a. those of East Greenland, once capa.
bic Of supporting = considerable popu.
lation, now entirely uninhabitable, aud
literally covered tho year round with
snow and ice. Ho says, however, that
while the evidence is overpowering that
the climate has been growing more &C.
we're in the biz CHEST ATTITUDES, there is a
great deal Of evidence to show the cold
has decreased elsewhere, aud that, espe.
cially in view Of the accounts given Of
the climate Of Gaul aud Germany in
the Roman times, We cannot but admit
that there has been a great improvement
since that date. Thus We IRE told Of
winters when the Danube and Rhine
were frequently frozen over, and Of the
reindeer and moose in localities far south
Of the present habitat. Ovid laments
over the fearful severity of bis place of
exile on the coast Of Thracc, and refers
to the occurrence Of white foxes there,
and contemporaueous references corrob-
crate his statements.
Mr.. Howorth inquiries whether, even
within the prehistoric period, the cir
cumpolar climate may not have been
very temperate, when that Of more
southern iatitutes was very severe
We know, in fact, that during the MIC
Gene period Greenland once possessed a
climate not dissimilar to that of the
Eastern United States, as shown in the
occurrence Of numerous species Of trees
of large size, some Of them, like our
cypress, etc., absolutely identical with
our forest vegetation Of the present day.
Mr.. Howorth also refers to the general
impression among whalers that exces-
sively severe winters in the more tenn
parate ATTITUDES are accompanied by an
un usual degree Of mildness in the more
northern attitudes.
This We accept as an augury in favor
Of Captain Halls exploration, since the
winter of 1912 was one Of the &C.
verest on record Of late years and
should Mr.. Howorth's suggestion be
correct, the captain should have enjoy.
ed IN unusual freedom from snow and
ice, permitting him to prosecute his re.
searches to great advantage.-Edior'.

from tho ship contained eleven men.
Its painter, or rope, was still fast to the

to get into the boat, when sailor,

They were all drowned, in sight Of the

TOO MUCH MONEY.

Hon. E. NJ T. Hunter, of Virginia,
with thae off-hand dogmatism which char
acterized the old rulers of The nation, de-
clares thar the Secretary of che Treasury
is dealing cruelty by Che impoverished
South in collecting taxes from her bank
rupt people 60 pay off the national debt
when the public creditors are willing and
anxious 90 wait TOP theif money STr.
Hunter differs with those Of his friends in
this particular, who declare that Mr.. Bout
well is stealing the money; and ne also
forgess 20 admit that the money which the
Secretary is using Go pay the public debt
with is largely collected in che North, and
simply represents an oserplus Of income
OYER expenditure that could noe be reg1-
lated az the time the taxes we've levied
Congress geduced the taxes aS the last seS-
siono SO as so yelieSe She people
and get secure the public Saith. The
reduction OF taxes was accompanied by
3 reduction Of expenses chat left in tEe
treasury 3 large surplus Of money. The
Secretary applied this cash 20 the pay
ment Of the public debt, whereby Che in
tereSt account was reduced this year sew
eral millions OF dollars Congress did not
legisIate in order 20 raise shis money, but
the treasury was filed in spite of the de-
sign Of Che government to save she people
as much as possible just now We shall
probably have new suggestion from the
Treasury Department for % reduction OF
taxes this year. seeing that more money is
collected than is wanted. If this happens
the South will reap as much of the bene-
fits Of the reduction, in proportion, as the
North does, just as she now pays only her
pro rata. Of the expenses. Mr.. Hunter
only sees Virginia when he discusses poll
tics, or else he would never refer TO a gene
eral sax law as operating cguelly on any
particular section

hopes, he says, among other things, that 1900
Cinnamon were engaged at San Francisco,
who with 1000 or 5000 other laborers are
already at work at the various points under
contract in Texas; that the $50 miles from
Shreveport to Fort Worth will be completed
in fourteen months, the time given the con-
tractors to do it; that the first fifty miles
beyond Longview has already been made
ready for iron; that the road building is all
let, not only from Shreveport to Fort Worth,
but from Shreveport to Marshall, and JEFF
ferson tTexas) to Texarcana, and from
thence to Fort Worth. Work being done
in this triangle upon the main roads and
branch connections gives great facilities to
the building, getting iron and ties and other
supplies by the Texas Central, by the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas railroads, and by
steamers on Red river to Shreveport, and
thence by the railroad to Longview.

the debt, in the first place, but the neces-
sity Of suppressing the rebellion entailed
this burden upon us. The South is re-
sponsible for the debt, and she should be
the last party to attribute its origin to any
influence but that Of her own folly. The
willingness that the North displays in pay
ing the heaviest portion Of the expenses,
as she does, is quite in contrast with the
policy that Germany is pursuing toward
France.
It is q new thing to be said in this sec
ton that the government at Washington is
the organ Of oppression toward the North
through the agency Of the public debt and
the national tariff. It is a new thing 20
admit that Mr.. Boutwell, is paying the
! public debt with The excess of revenue
that rs collected at the Treasury Depart
ment, the usual proceeding being to assert
that Mr. Boutwell, and the Radicals are
stealing the money. 1t is certainly a novel
fault to find that because the Secretary Of
the Treasury IS paying the debt be is only
doing is in order to secure an opportunity
20 create another and bigger debt. It is
equally incomprehensible that the states
men Of che North should be the enemies
OF the country and yet be held in esteem
by large majority Of the people Of the
country And il is deeply 20 be lamensed

elements opposed 90 Republicanism'
have offered for sale all the municipal and

spot at the moment Of acceptance Unless
the money is forthcoming other ''good
men" will be hunted up to carry out the
plan Of salvation and assist in the great
work Of eedeeming New Orleans Now
this looks to US very much like fax on
virtue. If really good men are wanted 20
take hold Of public affairs, they are not
likely to be obtained in the way proposed.
AS rule the best men ina community do
not care to pay q premium for the priv
lege Of being chosen by the people. Pur.
chased honoGs are never held in high ese

patronage Of office, these have value not
easily ascertained in advance To pu! a

merely because he is unable 20 raise $500

policy Of tho party shat has been looking
tot good men for several months without
being able 20 find Shem. For if those
nominated ill the bill they should Be
retained az any expense: but il they DO
not, the fact Of their paying several hun

gard an investment in fusion nominations

tariff upon candidacy rules out poor men,
who usually make better officers shan rich
ones. It looks very much like public
sale of hopors and benefits. TO which few
honorable men will like to become par.

for the same difficulty, as payment IS

THE SMALLPOX IN ST. LOUIS,

We publish in another place rather
startling report from the Democrat Of the
rayages Of smallpox in St LOUIS While
deeply sympathizing in the affections Of
our sister city. we must not omit to take
the ordinary prudential steps to prevent
the importation and spread Of the dreaded
disease IN New Orleans. Communication
with st. Louis is open and free. Both by
riEeg and Sailroad. Freight and passen.
gers arrive here daily, and frequently
there are severa! arrivals BY river in one
day. We have no doubt our Board Of
Health are alive 60 the matter, and viii
exercise the usual vigilance. But in q
great city like this Ghe duty devoives upon
all citizens 20 assist sbe officers designated
by Jaw to look after the public health All
those who have not been yaecinated. Orwho
have children thai have not. should lose
no time in having this important preeauo
ton taken. Luckily, the public attention
was very generally called 30 this subject
two or three years ago. when we were Wis.
tied by an epidemic .: smallpox, which
led to the vaccination Of . !a:ge number
OF people. chiefly children.
IN the meantime it will be advisable for
those who contemplate visiting St. Louis,
ana are liable 20 take smallpox, 20 post-
p0ne the trip unit! they hear Of the subsi'
