Our Centennial Summer.

As soon rs the summer solstice Is passed
we usually get hot days in succession; but
this year the continuance of the heat has
been remarkable, though IL was interrupt
ed, at least for time last night, by a thun-
der and rain storm. We have just had
seventeen days during which the Their
mometer has kept at 90 or above, and on
some days has gone beynd 100. This is
worse than the average OF the tropics. and
very damaging to health. No constitution
fails TO suffer from it, and those unpre-
pared for great strain are, in the event
OF their falling TO use precaution, In seri-
Gus danger OF succumbing under the pres
sure, or OF suffering permanent injury.
The summer months are always our most
sickly season. Then IL is that the death
rate gets up to its maximum, and children
especially die by the hundreds. Last week
the increase in the death rate was ~ the
excess being mostly OF children. The horses
also suffered greatly, and large number
of them died or were disabled by the heat
The sufferings of the drivers Of public
conveyances were also great. greater than
IN the most biting winter weather.
Unfortunately, though we are sure TO
experience excessive heat in the months Of
June and July, and to a less extent, per-
haps, in August, yet our working people
cannot adopt the habits OF tho tropics,
where the labor OF the day Is done in the
early morning and the cool of the even
Ing, and where experience has taught the
necessity Of n diet and regimen adjusted
20 the circumstances.
II il improper food eaten by themselves

10 make up tho summer casualties among
the young of the poor, and the sun strokes
that occur are largely invited by injudi-
pious drinking. Instead of there being
les, as there should be, there Is likely
g. be more consumption Of spir1tu-
on. liquors on hot than on moderate
days. Instead OF satisfying thirst with
water moderately cool or with drinks
containing little or no alcohol, rum and
whskey, brandy aud gin, IN their various
forms Of manufacture as COOLING beyer-
Aacs are pretty generally consumed, the
bar counting with certainty on rushing
business when the Thermometer registers
high degrees OF heat The result is fro
qucnt reaction and prostration. We wish
we could make everybody understand the
Danger Of drinking these seductive bcver-
ages in such weather ms this, even though
they do smell Of the savory mint and foam
with the efforvescent soda, while album
dance OF ice gives them u cool and tempt

mometer and in comparing with other
idlers the trials imposed by the weather,
he is sure to pass most uncomfortable days
during the summer season; whereas the
man who keeps occupied and forgets in
ms employment all about the state OF the
thermometer, though the perspiration
rolls of from him and plays havoc with
collar and wristbands, Is still a compare
lively happy person, and he flnds when
the day is done that he has got through q
fair average of work.
But let all employers, so far rs they can,
save their workmen from the rays Of the
midday sun and give them labor In the
shade. Then If the people will maintain
temperance in meats aud drinks, we shall
get through this heated term, as old Mr.
MERRIAM used to call II, without undue
prostration. The nights are usually fresh
ened by breeze, and though IL may not
be sufficient to cool the dir. 1t is relief
after the hot day, and the inhabitants can
get breath in the parks. Sunday was a
day of exhausting heat, which kept up
until seven o'clock, the Thermometer
showing 95' and 81 even then, but soon
after n breeze sprang up as refreshing as
water to caravan in the desert In few
minutes the thermometer had fallen 16'.
On Monday, though the thermometer did
not touch so high figures as on previous
days. the atmosphere was sultry and OPP
pressive. Along about seven o'clock in
the evening brisk breeze spraug up, and
welcome clouds filed the sky. But there
was only furry of rain, followed by
greater sultriness than before. Yesterday
was another sultry day. with about the
same thermometer; but a happy change
came In the evening.
1t is many years since we had such con-
tinuous heat Let us hope that the sea
will soon send us winds which will revive
ms and make us forget the exhaustion of
the last fortnight. We are not surprised
that Dom PEDRO, Don CARLOS, and our
other foreign Centennial visitors avow
that we beat the world in hot weather. It
would be hard to find ANYTHING ahead of
the last fortnight in any part Of the inhab-
tied world.

HAYES and Packard.

Tho supporters OF Gov. HAYES do not
like to accept Republican rule in Louis
lana, under the administration of GRAFT,
~ tho forerunner OF what Is to happen if
HAYES should he elected President. They
seem TO vince at the idea of PHI SHERI-
DAN, with Calling guns, stuffed ballot
boxes forged election returns, plundered
State treasures, and other like fruits Of
Republican domination in the Gulf States.
But the advocates of HAYES must not
finch at the repetition of such infamies.
The nomination of Marshal PACKARD,
the Maine carpet-bagger, who has been the
root and source OF tho Louisiana Iascali-
ties OF the past ten years, means exactly
this and nothing less. 1t means, more
over, that If HAYES backs down from
PACKARD, then PACKARD will back down
from HAYES; and HAYES canuot afford to
cast on such allies.
The Republicans, therefore, must not
repudiate the policy of the PACKARD
CASEY managers, but must carry out the
programme 10y sending SHERIDAN down to
Louisiana by and by with orders TO plnce
PACKARD in the Governors chair nj the

FNrst-EX- GOV. Noyes, who Is the right-hand
man and most trusted adviser OF Hayes, Is
VIGOROUSLY corrupt man, politically. He is
known In this state "a "Ths Great Indexer,"
having won that title by Illegally charging the
city OF Cincinnati and Hamilton county $1,000
for iDdeHiDs some law records few years ago.
This robbery OF the public was fully exposed In
the Cincinnati Enquirer, and tho exposure was
one cause of his defeat when he last ran for
Governor against Allen. He ran thousands Of
votes behind bis ticket.
Secondly-Hayes IL a very indoent, lazy, In
sipid man, utterly deficient In executive ability,
who has had greatness thrust upon him. He Is
like plastic wax in the hands OF his friends, and
would be a facile instrument OF the shrewd and
unprincipIed politicians who have ruled airs
