Too HIoH.-The rate Of interest PAID
by tko United States is entirely too high.
Six per cent. in currency would even be
more than we should pay. When it is
remembered that there are two thousand
millions Of interest, payable in gold in
terest and principal, that are entirely ex.
empt from taxation by the States, it is
no wonder the taI falls heavily on the
real estate owners. This is very wrong
The holder of a government gold bearing
bond is in justice not entitled to be made
a priviledged party if he is rich. The in
terest on these bonds should be reduced
to 8 per cent. the same that is paid in
Europe

Cold Winters in EurODe

In ,0l the Black sea was entirely frozen
over. In 763 not only tho Black sea but
the straits of Dardanelles we're frozen over;
the snow In some places rose fifty feet high.
In S22 the great rivers Of Europe-Danube,
Elbe, etc.-were frozen go hard as to bear
heavy wagons for month. In $50 the
Adriatic was frozen. In 99l everything was
frozen, crops'totally failed, and famine and
pestience closed the year. In 1867 most Of
the travellers in Germany were frozen to
death on the roads In 1884 the PO was
frozen from Cremona to the sea; the wine
sacks were burst and the trees split BY
the action of the frost, with immense
noise. In 1886 the Danube was frozen to the
bottom. and remained long in that state.
la 1916 the crops wholly failed in Ger
many; wheat. which some years before sold
in England at six shillings the quarter, rose
to u. In 1913 the crops failed in Scotland
and such famine ensued that the poor were
reduced to feed on grass, and many per-
ished miserably in the fields. The success.
sive winters of l432-3-4 were uncommonly
severe. In 1888 the wine distributed to the
soldiers was cut with hatchets. Ir 1888 it
was excessively cold. Most of the hollies
were killed. Coaches drove along the
Thames, the ice of which was leven inches
thick. In 1909 occurred the cold winter;
the frost penetrated the earth three yards
In l7l6 booths were erected on the Thames.
In l1l4 and 174J the strongest ale in Eng
land, exposed to the air, was covered in less
than fifteen minutes with ice an eighth of
an inch thick. In 1909, and again in 1872,
the winters were remarkably cold. In 1914
there was fair held on the frozen Thames.

Not Dead Yet.

1t is stated that Hon. Reuben E. Fenton.
late United States Senator from New York.
is going to his home to try to secure the
election to the House Of Representatives
from that district. Walter L. Sessions was
the Representative from the district in the
last Congress. Fenton turned in against
Sessions in the last campaign, and secured
his defeat for reelection. Augustus F..
Allen, an Independent Republican, was the
opposing and successful candidate. Allen
has since died, and Fenton now goes home
to try for the place that he secured through
his influence for Allen. Sessions will prob
ably be his contestant Fenton thinks thai
he will be elected, and, if so, will ask the
Republicans in the House to combine with
the Liberal Republicans to make him
Speaker.
Although Mr.. Fenton has not acted lat
terly with the Republicans, he was one of
the ablest and truest of its workers in the
early days Of the party. The lines are
being drawn tighter now, and all strag.
glers of the past years will find their place
in the ranks of either one of the great par
ties OF the country. Mr.. Fenton will uu-
doubtedly find his way back into the party
of national unity and equal rights, where
he Won his earliest and first victories.

ing T. Adding last years vote in these
towns makes the Republican net gain 27SS,
and Cheney's minority G44.
The fOotings from the first congressional
district elect Jones (Democrat) by 472 plu-
rality, Bell (Democrat) in the second dis.
trict by 154 plurality, and Blair (Republi-
CAM in the third district by 70 plurality,
estimating four towns in Coos county, not
returned, to give the same vote as last year.
The Republicans have q majority in the
House. but the exact figures can't be given
They claim from six to twelve. The foot
ings of the several senatorial districts in.
dicate that they stand five Republicans, five
Democrats and two districts having no
choice.
There is no election of Governor by the
people, and the duty of selection will de-
volve upon the Legislature, which will
doubtless elect Cheney, the Republican
candidate.
The Democrats claim a majority in the
Council, though the districts have not been
figured sufficiently to determine finally.
The vote in the State yesterday is said to
have been the largest polled.

The Coming Of the Waters.

On the first day of March the river stood
nine feet ten inches below the high
water mark of 1874. From that day to Sat
urday its height varied from rise of three
inches and fall of six, and remained at ten
feet eleven inches for three days. On the
sixth instant it commenced rising, begin
ming with five inches. falling two inches on
Sunday, and again rising eight inches Mon.
day. Tuesday it rose ten inches, Wednes-
day nine, and yesterday ten more. The
water last night having risen within seven
feet seven inches of the high water
mark of 1874.
This rapid rise OF thirty seven inches in
four days is a sufficient warning of the
spring floods. Many Of the levees are in
bad or weak condition. The water is
already pouring through Bonnet Care Gre
vase, aud has been for some days, and in a
short time other regions may be expected to
suffer overflow. Whatever preparation we
can makemus be made quickly, and all
the more earnestly that we are deprived of
the aid of the government by the instru.
mentality of the Senator from Texas.

A sunny Temper.

What blessing to household is 8 merry.
cheerful wOman-one whose spirits are not
affected by wet days or little disappoint-
ments, OF whose milk OF human kindness
does not sour in the sunshine of prosperity.
Such woman in the darkest hours bright
ems the house like little piece OF sunshiny
weather. The magnetism of her smiles and
electrical brightness Of her looks and move
nents infect every ore. The children 90 to
school with a sense OF something great to he
achieved; her husband goes into the world
in conqueror's spirit. No matter how
people annoy and worry him all day, far off
her presence shines, and he whispers to him,
self. AT home l shall find rest" So day by
Gay she literally renews his strength and
energy, and if you know q man with q
beaming face, kind heart and prosper
ous business, in nine cases ont of ten you
will find he has a wife of this kind.
