Allen T. Caperton, whom the De-
mocracy of West Virginia have re-
Gently elected to the u. s. Senate,
has had some experience as Sena-
tor; and that experience was gained
In the Senate of the Confederate
States" He was one Of those men
who considered their allegiance to
their States more binding upon them
than their allegiance to the Union,
and who declared that +" When my
State goes ! CO." Because he held
such sentiments, and was wealthy
aristOcrat of the strictest +. +. V.
stripe, the rebels elected him to the
Senate of the Confederate States to
make laws and devise means for the
destruction Of the Union. And now
for the same reasons those same reb-
els, now calling themselves Demo-
Gratis, have elected this same identi-
cal Caperton to the United States
Senate for the same purpose that
they elected him before, viz: "to
make laws and devise means for the
destruction of the Union;' and they
know that If his State should again
determine to go out this man Caper-
ton will consider it his duty to caper
out with it; and if his State does MT
want to go out he will take measures
to force it out, as he did upon for
mer occasion. And in rejoicing over
the election of this man, and Dear a
hundred others Of his kind, as u. s.
Senators and Representatives, every
Democratic editorial hat, In the
North as we'll as in the South, goes
up accompanied with an exultant
shout like unto that which is famil-
lar to every Union soldier who met
the rebel legions in battle during the
late war. That shout was then known
as the "rebel YELL" Now it is the
Democratic shout of triumph. And
its meaning is always the came
whether it comes i'm deafening tones
from behind Coafederdte rsmpsrts,
from beneath KukiuS masks, from
While League barricades In the streets
of New Orleans, from fiery redel
throats in the U. s. Senate Chamber,
or in wild acclaim from Democratic
convention halls and Democratic ed
itorial headquarters in Massachu-
sets, New York and Iowa. Disguis-
ed as it was, 1t might have been rec
ognized in subdued, muttering tones
at the little Democratic powwow at

While every one is speaking of the

January was mild-so much so AZ

very cold.
February was not very cold; with
the exception Of u few days 1t was
mild like Its predecessor.
March was cold and boisterous dur
ing the first part Of 1t, the remainder
WAS mild. A great freshet on the
OHIO and Kentucky rivers caused
great loss Of properly.
April began warm, but grew colder
as the month advanced, and ended
In snow and Ice, with temperature
more like winter than spring.
May was more remarkable for
frowBs than smiles. Buds and flow
ers were frozen, Ice formed half all
inch thick, corn was killed, and the
fields were again aud again planted
until doomed too late.
June was the coolest ever known In
the latitude. Almost every green
thing was killed. Fruit was nearly
all destroyed. Snow fell to the depth
of ten inches In Vermont, several In
Maine and three In Central New
York, and also Ia Massachusetts,.

In those days OF Republican gener-
osity and chivalry to be Republican
was greater than to be King, and
those great doctrines SO ably champi-
oned by the beacon lights Of patriot
ism that still adorned that great
party were carried out to the letter,
and the people of the South were
forgiven, If their crime WAS not for
gotten.
The South accepted the olive
branch with JOY and gladness, and
many a strong convert to Republi-
canism was gained from the rebel
ranks. In fact the great gulf or
chdsm was completely bridged, and
the Southern people were invited
under republican law to send up to
the National Legislature her repre-
sentatives the same as she had done
before the rebellion.
IL ID gratifying to find one Demo
cratic paper willing to make these
candid admissions as to the generos-
ity and magnanimity Of the people ol
the North, and the Republican party
In particular toward the southern
people, and the rebels in particular.
And now we see the result Of all this
generosity, and realize the fact that
it was as pearls cast before swine.
The rebels are ready to turn again
and rend the generous hand. Fol
magnanimity they return murder
and rapine and lawless disorder and
mischief in every form conceivable
to blood-thirsty slave drivers termed
rebels, kuklux, White Leaguers and
"Conservatives! Conservatives

The Hard Times Cry.
Clinton Age.) J

Somebody has been crying hard
times out west, and the country is
beginning to believe there Is some
thing In 1t. What nonsense Hard
times and money scarce in Iowa
Ridiculous! Iowa was never richer
than she Is to-day. The State is out
Of debt, and the people comparative
ly so. The surplus crops of the past
year have brought fair price. Hogs,
cattle and corn have and still are
bringing big price. Wheat may be
a little down, yet there is profit in
wheat at the present prices.
There Is plenty of money in Iowa
but 1t is being boarded. 1t is not
coming out and doing good as II
ought. People are economizing too
much. They call it economy, but II
Is parsimony, sort of picayunish-
ness which makes man appear
mean. 1t is wrong. A man has nc
right to wear rags on his back, when
his purse is full. He has no right to
make his wife cling to the old bon.
net and the old shawl, when she has
helped him put good part Of tina,
money In his wallet. His boys and
girls are entitled to neat and tidy
and warm clothes, and that big roll
Of greenbacks are fraudulently held II
the necessities and even many Of the
luxuries Of life are withheld from the
| family.
But anyhow you please, the times
are not hard, nor is money scarce
Money may not be plenty in the
channels of trade, but the piles In the
stockings and behind the chimney
are bigger than ever. And These
piles want to be reduced, and that toe
ut once. And it ought to be pena
offence Ia Iowa, with the unprece
dented surplus crops which have
been converted into money, for Q
person to complain OF hard times
Take the best times the country ever
saw and let every other man whine
about the scarcity OF money and the
hardness Of the times, and money
panic would follow as certainly as Il
the country was depleted of money
and every other man turned out o
employment.
! Tie right kind of talk--the righ1
kind Of public woulc
bridge over even a threatened crisis
How much greater the good to talk
right when money and business are
right. Let US look a little more
cheeringly upon the times. For what
the family needs and for what they
have been used to having, buy and
keep on buying, and you will find
that the more you buy, spending
your money judiciously, the more
money you will have. This Is our
New Years sermon.

July was accompanied by frost and
ice. On the 5th, ice was formed of
thickness Of common " in low. glass
throughout New England, New York
aud some parts Of Pennsylvania. In-
dian corn was nearly all destroyed,
some favorably situated fields es-
capped. This was true Of some of the
hill farms Of Massachusetts,.
August was more cherries il pos
sible, than the summer months al
ready passed. Ice was formed half
an Inch thick, Indian corn was near
ly all frozen so that the greater part
was cut down and dried for fodder.
Almost everything was destroyed
both in this country and Europe.
Papers received from England stated
that it would be remembered by tho
present generation that the year
1916 was year in which there WAS
no summer. Very little corn ripe
ned in New England and the Middle
States. Farmers supplied them
selves from the corn produced in
1915 for the seed of the spring of 1918.

September furnished about two
weeks OF the mildest weather of the
season. Soon after the middle IL
became cold and frosty, and leo
formed quarter of an inch thick.
October produced more than its
share Of cold weather; frost and ice
particularly.
November was cold and clustering.
Enough snow fell to make good
sleighing.
December was quite mild aud conf
Portable.
The above Is a brief summary Of
"the cold summer Of 1876" as it
was called to distinguish 1t fIom the
cold season. The winter was mild.
Frost and ice were common in every
month Of the year. Very little veg
citation matured In the Eastern and
Middle States. The suns rays seem
ed to be destitute Of heat through
the summer all nature seemed to
be clad in sable hue, and men exliib-
tied no little anxiety concerning tho
future of this life.
The average wholesale price Of
-four that year, In the Phllaalslphia
market was thirteen dollars ber bar
rel. The average price Of wheat in
England, was ninety-seven shillings
per quarter.
