4zIn11o lOcsl elections in Illinois,
Iowa and other Western States this
summer, there Inns been new and
powerful party organized-a waking
up Of the farmers and laboring men
to put down the monopolies that have
50 long depressed them. At the out
set, the 0ppoeition Of the oranges "
was specially directed at the railroad
corporations, whose exhOrbitant prices
had alna0H ruined the agricultural
interests If the west-.smaking," ac-
cordang to locsl paper, Zone quart
fan q green corn from Boston worth

But 4ho nOyement soon took q scope,
and now includes in a sweeping de-
nunciation many Of the Irregular
ties" wsAa have grown up under
Repubhcan misrule aud corruption.
The platform Oh which the Oranges
went into the late campaign is as fol-
lows: s'e 3 ~1s Fs7
/. This organization is opposed to
railroad steals, tariff steals, salary
grab steals, bank steals, and every
other form Of thieying by which the
fasuend lalpFing classes are
robbed q Che legitimate fruits of their
labor. - VT
2. We advocate the control Of rail
road corporations by law.
3. Submission 10 direct taxation
and dstios 70 meet the necessities of
the government, but opposition to
taxation for the benefit Of privileged
classes.
4. The banking system should be
open alike to all men giving proper
security and complying with law.
5. Opposition to all land grants to
corporations. .~~ -,a
s. Reform of the civil service, by
making honesty and capacity the only
valid claims to public employment.
This = not . trick Of the politicians
to obtain ONCE, but genuine move
meat 0f eAe people, born Of their de-
terminati0a to rid themselves of an
incubus which has long been crushing
the energy and industry Of the great
West And 1t is BY Ito means insight
ficant in numbers. In Iowa, about
half the voters have been enrolled as
members of the different" oranges ;"
While In Illinois, the Republican
party, with majority Of 70,OO0,
alarmed At its proportions, virtually
abandoned its organization, and made
nominations in less than a dozen
counties in the State. The Democratic
party, recognizing in it the principles
Of freq trade and anti monopoly, be-
camc its allies without hesitation. It
may be the germ Of q powerful party
in the future, within which the West
and South will join han.as--or it may
remain parely local, not having d.
qectly at issue those vital principles
in which the Southern States are
most interested. The West, having
its lbex1ies and constitutional rights
assured, can afford to interest itself |
in queetioos ef. this nature but the
crushed BY despotism and |

THF ELECTIONS THIS FALL

Between this and the fifth of Noycmbc
elections will take place In ten States of tn,
Union. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Minnesota
Iowa and Wisconsin will hold general cleo
tions on the 18th of next month; Massachu.
setts on NovembeE4, while on the same day
New York will elect q Legislature and State
officers. In Texas an election will take place
on the third OF the same month.
So far as the Republican party and its fu-
ture is concerned, there is really very little
significance to be attached to any one Of these
contests. The result in each and all OF them
will be determined not upon broad, national
grounds, involving general issues, platforms
and policies, but upon mere local issues, per-
sonal and special. So far as the Democratic
party is concerned, il is virtually out Of the
field. Its national platform Is dead as q live
opposition to the Republican party, Il might
as well be buried hundred feet be-
meath the bottom of the political ocean.
In the West the old issues upon which party
battles were fought have almost entirely
changed. Ohio has third party in the field;
Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, and other States
arc agitated over the farmers movement
while in Virginia the struggle Is almost
wholly one of color so far rs the Conserya-
tives are concerned The Liberal RcpubIl-
cans are making pretencc of fight In Mis-
sissippi, while in New York they have not
up to this time, taken any formal action what
ever. They are so small fraction of the
whole people that II Is really matter of very
little consequence what they may or may
not do.
To the thoughtess observer the present sit.
uation seems one of confusion and chaos.
The ''od year" In politics, the Republican
party is making very little eXertion. 'Prln-
ciples, not men," has always been one Of It's
cardinal doctrines, and as the principles are
everywhere triumphant at the present time,
the mere "men" are naturally left to take
care Of themselves, and make the best fight
they can. So far as the Republican party Is
concerned, the issues of the future have
scarcely yet assumed definite shape. The
party OF patriotism and progress, the real
Conservative party of the country, Ii cnIoys
the full measure Of public confidence.
Whether 1t shall continue to retain that cop-
fdencc depends entirely upon ieell. Next
winter it will be called upon to actupon some
Of the gravest questions that were ever brought
before Congress, affecting the material dcyel-
opment, the industrial resources and pros.
perity, not only Of the United States, but
almost of the whole world. With more
han two-thirds majority In Congress 1t will
nave to meet these questions, and II 1t shall
,nly bring to their consideration the same
'ourage and patriotism that have character.
zed It In the past, jts future is beyond all
oubt assured for decades of years to come,
OF what may or may not occur
bis fall.

Total number Of auroras observed.

From this table II will be seen that the
months Of maximum frequency of auroras
atb the calendar months Of March and Octo-
Der.
The greater frequency of auroras obvervcd
during the months of northern winter, when
the earth Is near Its peribelion, as compared
with the number at midsumpcr, when the
earth Is near Its aphellon, Is doubtless at
tributablc, in large part at least to the supe-
rior opportunities for observation afforded to
northern observers by the greater length of
the winter nights as compared with those OF
summer, the observations having been ex.
clusively made In the northern hemisphere
The marked coincidence between the fire.
quency Of auroras and the rates Of approach
and reces sion Of the earth to and from the
sun was deemed worthy Of note, not alone
for Its Independent interest, but also on ac-
count Of Its possible bearing on the discus
slons now In progress relative to the coma
Of comets, the zodiacal light and certain
other cosmlcal phenomena.

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE FINAN-
CIAL SITUATION.

The President, in conversation yesterday,
asserted most positively that he does not In
tend to make any change in the Government
agency at London, adding that the suspcn-
sion Of Clcws Il Co, which involved the sus-
pension Of the London house Of Clews, lIa-
bicht 4 Co. was the result Of unavoidable
misfortune, and that no dlshonorable taint
attaches TO them on account Of 1t. The news
since received, that Clews Il Co. will soon
resume, shows that the Presidents confidence
in the house has not been misplaced.
In further conversation the President relte-
rated his determination to odocvcrything In his
power and the power of the Treasury to re-
lieyc the public from the distressing influences
Of the pending financial disturbance, and re-
peatcd his previous declarations regarding
the rotteuncss of the basis on which the stock
jobbing operations are carried on In New
York and elsewhere. He added that the
Government had already proceeded to the
extent Of It's ability under the law to relieve
the market and, commenting upon the re-
suit OF the purchase Of bonds by the New
York sub,treasury, remarked that, so far as
the railroad stockholders are concerned, they
will require relief every sixty days, soloug as
they transact business on their present basis
lie expressed the opinion that the merchants
and solid business men Of tho country will
take advantage of the low rates of exchange
now prevailing in the management of theii
fall business transactions, and seemed to b,
satisfied that in the end the panic will bC
productive Of great good in destroying th'
imaginary foundation Of certain business in
terests, and placing the substantial bushes

Rev. DIR. Hall, Of Holy Trinity, Brooklyn,
thus discourses to those who aspire to be
Presidents, Senators, &c.:
Are you educated for poitlcs1 Here Is a
| sum In arithmetic which you can solve.
| There are thirty years TO q generation; there
are forty millions Of people here In the
States, and only eight Presidents probably In
| each generation; and, Of course, the papers
say that they are always the wrong men. So
you are really the inheritor OF a ghost only
of chance to carve your name on that list
which shines or otherwise with the sigma
lures OF John Tyler and A. johnson. As to
the applause of listening Senates," muse
how many orators the world records. De-
mostheues and Philips gold, Cicero and his
Patrick Henry and his hrst achievement, q
victory over the law Of his colony. No. In
all the professions of life, nature asks for pa
tient workers at the wheels for men who are
con .ent to toll and make their work their re-
ward. We all need an oyershadowing sense
Of the d y0amlc value OF content. The wheels
of every social engine squeak now with COM
plants ut the misallotment Of things, the mis-
takes of order, the mildew Of obscurlty, the
passionate prejudlces by which men are kept
In improper places. The young physician or
lawyer or parson who accepts q temporary
engagement In O village or town Is degen-
Grated from the start by this ambition-1 do
not mean personal ambition, but rather this
subtle atmospheric influence, famed and con-
tinued by parents, friends, party and sect.
Fancy the opposltc-Or better, accept Ii.
Recognize the value to you Of honest work
and of honest deeds to others. Go where
God calls you-to make that spot your sccno
OF true life and labor. A friend not long ago
visited Reble, whose name Is dear to all
churchmen throughout our country, and met
him walking over the downs, Of bleak aud
windy day, to visit school OF poor chidren
and last summer at Salisbury, not far away
from the house which he has made so famous,
could not find any one at the Inn who had
ever heard of IIursley or knew where 1t was.

Relation Of Changes In tho Lcuath OF the
Aurorns.
The following is an abstract OF one Of the
papers read by Professor +. u. Elliott, OF tho
Treasury Department, at the recent meeting
Of the American Association for the Ad-
vauccment Of Science, at Portland Maine;
That auroras are o; electric origin is ad-
mltted by all who are conversant with the
subject. The exhibition OF extensive and
brilliars auroras Is invariably attended with
rl the other we'll evidences of mag
netic stoms-such as the corresponding rush
to and fro OF electric currents In telegraphic
conductors to such an extent rs TO 80 'ously
disturb and interrupt the ordinary transac-
uon OF business toon the lines; and the ir-
regular and extraordinary reflections of the
magno &c needle.
Whenever the magnetic condition of the
earth Ia disturbed, corresponding disturb
nnce OF the magnetic needle, disturbances Of
electric condition Of tel-y.aphic conductors
and manifestation of auroras invariably re-
suit.
The question had suggested itself whether
among the many causes which may produce
disturbance In the electric or magnetic con-
dltion Of the earth and Its invariably attend
ant magnetic and auroral storms, might nos
be ranked the annual or periodical lengthc u
Ing and shortening Of the earth's radius vec-
tor.
II the year be divided ip.o twelve equal
parts, II will be found that the length Of the
radius vector Tor the distance of the earth
from the SUM augmcnts most rapidly during
that portion Of time which corresponds to the
month Of March, and dlminishes most rap
Idly during that portion which corresponds
to tho month OF October; the date, however,
Of most rapid dminution being during the

IT SEEMS that Commodore Vanderbilt Is not
altogether responsible for the failure of the
Union Trust Company that the sl,5OO, 600
borrowed to pay the Lake-shore Company's
dividend will not be due until next January,
and that the negotiation was made against
his wishes This gives an entirely differ
cnt aspect to the affair, and inasmuch as the
REPUBLICAN censurcd and held him respon-
sible for the suspension, we make the correc-
tion. We have no desire to misrepresent
anybody, from railroad president down to

ONE or THE MOST IMPORTANT OF the
points commented upon and condemned
In the present crisis Is the practice
among certain New York bankers of Ger.
tifying checks when there Is no actual de-
post. It seems that large proportion OF
the capital upon which transactions In stocks
are based Is entirely fictitious. The bank
gives In the morning certified check to the
broker that so much money Is TO his credit,
when In fact he has not have a dollar, the
only security being an understanding that the
check shal he made good before 9 o'clock

FROM an unexpected quarter comes testi.
mony In favor of the Republican party. The
Louisville COurir-Journdi declares tina,
while Kentucky declined in population and
material growth from 1910 to 1860 she hai
made rapid progress during the decade end
ing 1870, and particularly during the latte
part Of 1t. The Journal has always been In
sisting that the country. has been going to dc
struction since the Republican party cam
into power. Once In while, however,
forgets itself and tells the truth.
