Some Very Remarkable Winters.

Now is the time to trot out para
craps about remarkable winters-win-
tiers that have either distinguished
themselves by being either colder or
warmer than the law allows. No well
regulated newspaper will neglect this
duty. Referring back to our files we
find that in 1172 the temperature was
so high that leaves came out on the
trees in January and birds Matched
their broods in February. In 1889 the
weather was equally mild, and the
maidens of Cologne wore wreaths of
violets and c%orn-fowers at Christmas
and Twelfth Day. In 1921 the trees
lowered in the month of April. Cher
ries ripened in the same month of April.
Peaches appeared in May, and little
boys commenced to fall out of apple
trees a little later. In 1872 the trees
were covered with leaves in January,
and the birds Matched their young in
February as in 1172; in 1856 the same
thing was repeated, and it is added that
the corn was in ear at Easter. To the
best of our memory there was in France
neither snow nor frost throughout the
winters of 1888, 1907, 1909, 1917, 1850;
finally, in 1862, even in the North of
Germany, the stoves were not lighted,
trees Powered in February, and out
door boquets were showered on the
newspaper offices without number. 1t
seems but as yesterday. Coming to
later dates, the winter of 1s46-1S47,
when it Numbered in Paris on the 2Sth
of January, and that of 1866, the year
of the i%nundation of the Seine, may be
mentioned as very mild.

4 Wonaes1ui Spiritual Phenone-
non. :
fsacramento Gall Record.

sacramento Call Record. s{3
About two years ago gentleman long
resident of Sacramento left for trip
to the Eastern States and Europe. His
friends received few letters from him,
and then all communication ceased.
Presently, at spiritualistic circle, one
of the mediums was controlled by a
spirit which announced itself as that of
the Sacramentan, and it was learned that
he was one of the victims of the dyna-
mite explosion at Bremerhaven. The
circumstances of his death were related
with much minuteness, it appearing that
he was going on board the steamer when
the explosion occurred, and a stick of
wood, shiyered from plank, struck him
on the side of the head, inficting an in
jury which proved fatal. 1t was happy
event for him, however, as in the spirit
world he met his wife, who died long be-
fore him, and their reunited spirits were
having such enjoyment as is never known
on earth. After that hisspirit frequently
communicated with residents of the city
through mediums, and among other mat
ters sent a message to friend, with
whom, before he had left the city, he had
placed the title papers to certain
property, telling him he might consider
the property his own. 1t only remains
to be said that the gentleman's death
was not caused by the dynamite ex'
plosion. He didn't die in Europe, he isn't
dead, and, in conclusion, a dispatch re
received here announces that he will re
turn to Sacramento by tomorrow morn
ing's train.

The Astounding Doctrine Of Mr.. Hayes
He is in Favor of Having the Uni
ted States Governed by q Permanent
Aristocracy Of Office-H0lders.


rutherford B. Hayes has written a
letter accepting the nomination of the
Republican Convention to the effice of
President of the United States.
Mr.. Hayes is represented by his friends
and conceded by his opponents to be an
honest man. We therefore receive this
letter as the avowal of his real senti-
ments on the subject of government;
and we are not little surprised to find
them directly at variance with the Re
publican and Democratic ideas on which
the Government of the United States
was founded.
"The old rule, the true rule" says
Mr.. Hayes, "that honesty, capacity, and
fidelity constitute the only true quali6-
cations for office, and that there is no
other claim, gave place to the idea that
party services were to be chiefly con-
sidered." Thus, according to Mr.. Hayes,
honesty, capacity, and fidelity consti-
tute " a claim" to effice. This he de-
clares to be " the true rule"
Now. the whole theory of free, repub-
lican government is included in this
proposition. We hold that all offices
are established and maintained solely
and exclusively for the public conye-
nience and the public advantage, and
never, in any degree, for the benefit of
the persons holding them. These per-
sons are to be fairly compensated for
their labor, that is all and there is no
such thing in free country as public
Office existing for the sake of the officer.
No one, therefore, has any "claim to
be "a public officer. Claim, as here used,
means right. A person elected to office
has right to it, unless he forfeits it, for
the term for which he is elected; while
a person appointed, and removable at
| pleasure, may be turned out at any time.
The doctrine of Mr.. Hayes is " that
the officer should be'secure in his tenure
as long as his personal character remains
untarnished and the performance of his
duties satisfactory" That means prac-
1 tically, for life. There is hardly any
real difference between term for good
behavior and for life; for if king, who
holds even by hereditary right, departs
widely from good behavior, revolution
steps in and puts an end to his tenure.

Hayes's Sky-Rocket ON the School
Question.

Equally unstatesmanlike is his politi-
cal sky-rocket on the school question.
His is of the little minds which grasp
such floating driftwood on the political
current. In his own State, where he
made it save him in an otherwise hope
less canvass, the fundamental law
teaches all that he has taught on the
subject. 1t is so in Pennsylvania, and
in every other State where there are
Constitutional provisions on the subject;
and there is not any party in any COM
monwealth to-day that would take issue
on the subject if it could, or that could
do SO if it would. As well might Mr..
Hayes insist that the sun shall not be
hindered in its westward course, or that

Republican Reform.
fLouisyilIe Courier-Journai. /

Senator Morton, in his last greatest
effort" in the Senate, took occasion to
talk little about reform. It was strange
ground for Morton to get On, and he
showed his true inwardness when he
yentured upon it. Said he:
Who can be safely trusted with reform
Reform is the normal business of every party
- all times, and of every Congress. 1t is
like the poor; the necessity of reform is al
ways present with us; and that party is truly
the reform party that carries it on quietly
and steadily from year to year, and not that
party which breaks out now and then with
spasmodic declarations in favor of reform,
but which in all intermediate periods
practices corruption whenever it has the
chance. ask what men or set of men can
be best intrusted with this Government? /
say they are the men who preserved this
Union, who put down the rebellion, who
have preserved this Government, who have
preserved the credit of the country, and are
labofing to make it perfect, who are, de-
termined to pay its debts and to maintain its
good name; the men who have amended the
Constitution, who have abolished slavery,
who have conferred equal rights upon men
of every race, color, and condition. They
are the honest men to be intrusted with re-
form. ~. Z
That is normal business" however,
which the Republican Iarty has never
entered upon either quietly, steadily"
or spasmodically," and Mr.. Morton
took good care to enter upon no argu-
ment TO prove that his party had ever
reformed anything The necessity for
reform has certainly been always
present with the Republican party, but.
it has "quietly and steadily encouraged
every species of corruption, and has
taken special pains to defend every thief,
great and small, who has been robbing
the people. At this moment every
leading Republican, is engaged in defend
| ing Belknap; they defended Babcock,
Delane, and the rest, and every fresh
enormitY committed by the Admins
tration is justified on the ground that
the Republican party freed four
millions of slaves" Their view is that
Liucoln's emancipation proclamation
completely covers any amount Of
plundering, injustice, and misrule
perpetrated since it was issued.
Morton says the Republican party is
carrying on reform, steadily and
quietly, from year to year. He did not
dare to enter into any details, for he
knows that the party has been steadily
and quietly" squandering the peoples
money. During the eleven years since
the war, that party has squandered the
ordinary expenditures of the govern
ment, 81, ,685, ,s72, ,601.47. In the seventy
two years before the war the sum of ST.
SOC, ,7O6, 141.15 was spent for the same
purpose. The difference is $179, ,166, :
460..32; and this is reform and economy
of the republican party. Morton charges
the enormous expenditures of his party
to the Democratic rebellion" but the
war ceased twelve years ago; and instead
of decreasing. as they should have done
the expenditures have been larger, reach.

fof it Government of Established
Z Oficeholders. Mr.. Hayes is undoubtedly
honest; but we believe the sentiment of
his letter of acceptance will be deemed
Aas odious by the people Of the United
States as any ever expressed by Louis
Napoleon in France. Louis Napoleon
was at first in favor Of an empire for
life, and tken ofmaking it hereditary.
Our forefathers, the founders of our
government, entertained sentiments
directly the opposite of those espoused
by Mr.. Hayes. When it was proposed to
make the offices of Senator and President
Offices for life, the plan was rejected.
They limited the duration of the Office
of Representative in Congress to two
years; that of President to four, and
that of Senator to six. There is no law
prohibiting the continuous reelection of
any of these; but custom has limited the
President to two terms, and Mr.. Hayes
has recently had an opportunity to see
with what disfavor the idea of electing
an incumbent to a third term was re-
ceived.
