the ice was 80 firm that loaded carriages went
over it From this and other phenomenal
occurrences the Virginia philosopher inferred
that when the country was cleared the extreme
cold would be diminished The old records
OF American climate, such as those Of Rush
and Volney, indicate Winters of greater
severity than now occur. Samuel Williams,
OF Harvard, the learned author of q series of
tnermometric observations during the last part
OF the previous century, computed the change
OF Winter climate at Boston at ten or twelve
degrees from 1880 to 1888. As before
intimated, there are no thermometric records
sufficiently comprehensive to afford inferen-
tial conclusions as to climatic change in the
West and the Valley of the Mississippi: but
the early accounts of the first settlers and ex-
plorers all 60 to show extremes of cold greater
than are now experienced The Canadian set
tiers, until after the middle of the last century,
found the climate around Quebec too severe
for corn to ripen.
1t is certain that our coolest Winters since
1900 have not attained the low temperatures of
the preceding five decades, in one of which, as
we have seen, the Chesapeake Bay was frozen
over. The Winter of 1856 was marked by ex-
traordinary and extensive refrigeration, hold
ing the rivers from St. Louis to Philadelphia
in its icy grip from December to late in March;
but this was an exception, and yet can hardly
be ranked with the early colonial Winters in
point of intensity.
The attempt has been made to explain these
changes of terrestrial climate by the changes
which man has wrought upon the forest-cov-
cred face of the Continent and drainage of the
soil, resulting in diminished rainfall and
snowfall. Whether this be theoretically cor
rect or not the facts remain the same; and they
furnish additional proof that the aerial shell of
the earth is undergoing physical change, as
well as the solid crust and the deep sea BEDS

The terms offered by the Commissioners at LAST

Rather than do this the Indians had determined to

WAR AGAINST TILE RAMRoAps.-The nl-
nois farmers are waging fierce war
against the railroads in that State. They
have established an organization known as the
''Sons of Husbandry," and in one case have
called upon the Judges of the Supreme Court,
who rendered recent decision denying the
validity of the Freight Tariff law. to resign at
once. What will be their doom in default of
noncompliance does not appear; but it is
time some steps were taken to check the enor-
nous strides our railroad corporations are
taking to rule or ruin the entire internal
trade-commercial, agricultural and other
wise-of the country 1t would not be sur
prising If other interests besides those repre-
sented by the "Sons of Husbandry" should
adopt similar measures to secure the reform
demanded.

GERMANY TRYING TO RECLAIM HER CITr-
zENs A despatch from Berlin informs us that
the naturalization treaty between Germany
and the United States will probably be
amended, so as to provide that Germans who
have returned from America and remained
two years at home shall be considered to have
renounced their rights as naturalized Ameri-
can citizens. We caution our government
against too readily coming to any such agree
ment Germans who have become American
citizens can, on their return home, easily, if
they so wish, return to their former allegiance
Nor is there any good reason known to us
why it should be otherwise. For many good
reasons, however, German Americans may
desire to return TO their native land, without
having any wish to renounce their American
citizenship. II it is the intention of the
German government to obtain the right to
compel such, after having been two years
continuously in their native land, to submit
to all the conditions and responsibilities Of
German citizens, then it is the plain duty Of
our government to refuse to enter into any
such compact American citizenship by adop-
ton ought to imply rights MS sacred and
as in nlienable as American citizenship by
birth.

hemmed in by such an array of hostile power
that the French Bourbon might once more be
forced upon the throne
We have said words of encouragement to
the Republic in France and words of APP
proval to the Republic in Spain. To look
back from the trimming and faltering of the
France of the present to that republican
France which found itself alone and hated
among the kingdoms some eighty years ago
brings up strange contrast Then the
young French Republic faltered not in its
faith though the soldiers of Prussia and Aus
tria, led by the Bourbon emigrks, came upon
her soil. The 'sMarseillaise' was the answer
of France to the invader, although she could
look from one end of Europe to the other
without seeing the face of friend. Great as
was her soul, and mighty as proved her arm,
how she would have rejoiced to find a
sister republic by her side, if only
to be assured that one among the Powers was
not her foe. To-day she is republic in name,
and when Spain, republic, finds herself
beset by hounds with royal collars and
threatened by all the Powers who hold their
dogs ready to slip the leash, France, forgetful
of 1894, takes sides against republcanism.
We shall look anxously for further develop
ments. The Spanish Republic seems, at last
accounts, well able for the present to
hold its own The Cabinet crisis which was
reported from Madrid does not appear to
exist Between the Montpensier, the Alfonso
and the Don Carlos factions its waV
is likely to be thorny one for
some time to come. Whether the repub-
lican masses of France will submit to
the treachery that Theirs has perpetrated in
their name also remains to be seen. Whether
they will tamely allow this old intriguer,
whose principal bait is '.internal peace
deliberately to fan the flames Of civil war
in Spain and in the interest of the most
despicable form of monarchy is we hope,
doubtful Sooner or later, we are assured, his
treachery will meet its just reward

INTERPRETATIONS Upon the Result.


ship-Speculations Upon the Result.
CONCORD, March Z, 1878.
The present political campaign, although 1t in-
wolves the election of three members of Congress,
is one OF the most quiet ever known in the State.
The apparent Indifference Of the people as to the
result is perhaps, natural, as the election occurs
so soon after two exciting political contests There
Is, Notwithstanding this feeling, a good deal of
effective work being done, and 1t is impossible to
predics the result with any degree OF certainty.
The present indications are that good vote will
be polled by both parties. The republicans claim
to nave made a thorough canvass OF the State,
which has yet been received in full at the head
quarters, but as far as returned 1t shows decided
gain for them over the vote OF last Spring. They
also claim that they will rc-elect Governor Straw
by $500 majority, and the Senate will stand about
as usual They express confidence that they Will
elect Congressman in the three districts.
On the other hand the democrats claim that II q
full party vote is polled they think there Will
be, they Will elect Governor Weston. They claim
the congressman in the First and Third districts,
and say the result in the Second district depends
upon the amount OF money used therein by the OPP
posing candidate. They say that the Credit Mo-
blier matter and the Increase OF Salaries bill have
a disheartening effect upon the republican party,
and that they will carry six Senatorial districts
and leave no choice in another. The other ticket
in the field will influence the result very little
probably.

Memorable Winters.

The Winter now drawing to close has had
few parallels in the later climatic history of
this country. Like the Winter of 1928,
which broke in so prematurely upon the
French campaign in Russia, the present cold
season came early in December. The in
tensely low temperatures through which we
have passed may serve to show that these
boreal phenomena ore not to be altogether
confined to colonial or primeval age.
We know that in the remote periods Of Eu-
ropean civilization the climate Of the Old
World was much colder than it now is. The
italian sky" now the boast for all that is
soft and genial, must have worn forbidding
and very different aspect when the classic an-
nalists describe the streets of Rome as blocked
with ice and snow, the Tiber as solidly frozen
over, and when the tender herds were the prey
of frost. The fairest valleys of Central
Europe, now famous for their verdure and
vintage, were in those early periods the abode
of the Arctic elk and reindeer and the
streams which drained them, as Gibbon
bridges of ice, which the barbarian armies
securely crossed. Even in comparatively
modern times intense cold has visited large
portions Of Europe. In 1868 the Baltic was
clothed with an immense sheet of ice, over
which Charles X. marched his entire army
from Holstein to Denmark, distance of fifty
miles. There are not wanting several in
stances, extending as far as 1928, when the
Thspss, g, YES q thieE.; 229atsd With ice as g
furnish Safe entertainment to large fairs,
while just after our Western country was set
tied, at the close of the last century, the ice
covered sea around Holland was the theatre Of
a Winters campaign.
Arago, the distinguished French physicist,
attempted to argue from the collected annals
Of extreme Winters that the climate of the
continents had in the lapse of ages of the
worlds physical life undergone no changes.
But in the light Of the present century, now
nearly three-quarters passed, such view must
be discarded. Whether we accept the ten year
cycle of hot and cold years, or whether we
adopt the cycle of forty years, indicated by the
rigorous Winters of 1909, 1749, $780, 1880 and
1S71-72, including the present we find great
mitigation in the cold. No Winter in the
nineteenth century will compare in severity
with many that can be named in the previous,
the medieval and the classic periods, in which
latter Ovid mentions the fact that the waves of
the Euxine or Black Sea were strongly con-
gealed.
The colonial records of America give but
very meagre accounts Of accurate thermometric
cold as this Winter has been, is not as rigorous
as when the present century opened. Mr.,
jefferson states, in his valuable papers, that
in 1850 the Chesapeake Bay was frozen solid
from its head to the mouth of the Potomac
River, and at Annapolis, where it is more than
five miles between the nearest points Of LAND.
