nngAIRsmafkabie Climate.

The most intense heat reported dur
ing the recent heated term was at New
Paltz, neal Poughkeepsie, N. Y, where
the mercury recorded 1929 in the shade.
There arei few portions Of the globe
where so extreme a temperature is ever
felt. Standard meteorological tables give
a list of localities where a temperature
of 1902 is sometimes exceeded They
are the United States, Canada, Central
America, the West Indies, Greece,
Arabia, India, Afghanistan, Persia,
Egypt, Desert of Sahara and Cape Col
ony. But the northern part Of the
United States exceeds all other localities
in the wide range of the thermometer.
It is not unusual in severe weather for
the mercury to fall to 15o below zero,
and a much greater degree Of cold is
often indicated. If we take .15o below
zero for the point Of maximum cold, and
1920 above zero for the point Of maxim
UNI heat, we have q thermometric range
of 1872. 1t is this vicissitude in the
climate that makes it 81 trying for

race. WI are never prepared for these
sudden changes; even the wisest wealth

One of the best political speeches in
the Senate on the Riverand Harbor bill
was by Mr.. Edmunds Of Vermont. He
wa exceedingly sarcastic on the impru-
dence of the ex-rebels and their associ-
ates in arraigning the Republicans for
expenses that had grown out Of the re-
bellion, though his Language was so vel
chosen that no personal exception could
be taken. His most conspicuous tri-
umph was over Senator Herman. MI.
Edmunds having incidentally referred
to the Democratic riot in New York
and the expense attending the transfer
Of troops to that city to put down the
rioters, Mr.. Herman took the floor to
defend his friend, Governor Seymour,
which he did with the reproduction of
the stock arguments on the subject.
Thereupon Mr.. Edmunds resumed the
floor and made a most scathing offhand
review of the course Of the Democrats
during the war, and@of Gov Seymour
in particular. While on his legs, he
appears to have sent for Greeley's his
tory of the wars and from IL quoted
Seymour's Fourth of July Grafton and
his speech to the mob, with Greeley's
notes and comments of his own. Mr..
Herman was dumb-founded, and could
only reply with an intimation that the
late Observation-Disclosures ofthe Democ
racy had been unjust to the party and
to Seymour. Bad man to tackle, that

The Decline Of Silver in London.

Mr.. Julius Sington, the managing
director in London ofthe Anglo-C alifor-
MAN Bank, recently gave y reporter of
the San Francisco Chronicle an explana-
ton of the causes of the remarkable
depreciation of silver in London. He
said this was due, first, to the state of
the trade in India, which has been ex-
ceedingly bad for the past six or eight
years. There has been a great amount
of over-trading and probably this cause
of the prevailing stagnancy of trade in
been India, haslbeenthec one eausethath has
appreciated to It's ull1extent in this
country; second; 10 the decentralization
of silver in Germany; and third, the in
creased production Of silver. He said
exchange on India was governed by
the demand for council bills which were
the means used by the government to
draw its revenues from India OF these
the government at present sells E700,-
600 sterling twice per month sometimes
however, only R500, 00e, the amount to
be sold being published two weeks be-
fore the day Of sale. The bills are sold
by, tenders from bankers and merchants
and are allotted to the highest bidder
in full, and then below that in proper
ton, the minimum fixing the rate of
exchange or silver stands them in cheap
er, comparing their respective rates.
Genertlly speaking, the delay caused BY
the coinage of silver and consequent
loss of Interest will weigh against it as
compared with bills at equal rates. The
decrease in demand causes lower tenders
hence a reduction in the rate of ex-
change, which naturally causest the price
of silver to follow suit, unless there be
some demand for silver from other
countries, which for some time past has
not beent the case to any great extent.
It is well known that India is and has
been the largest taker of silver from
England, absorbing it as a sponge abb
serbs water, but eve returning it
again. ND az 1M.LIq HllI-

In spite of the exposure of the facts

Continental Dam.

The continental currency, which in
'76 had become very much deprecated,
became much more SO when the British
introduced a very good counterfeit Of
it. After the war the currency was
called in by act of Congress, the gov
eminent desiringto pay the honest debts
contracted in the name Of the people.
Accordingly, holders of continental
money returned it to the treasury, when
it was sorted and credit given for the
genuine. On the counterfeit notes was
stamped the word DAM" a contrac-
ton of the Laten damned lcondemned).
Hence the force Of the expression, "not
worth a continental dam, +" for II a gem
uine note was worth ~little,a continental
'sdam," or counterfeit note, must have
been worthless. 49, AsnA aN1S

warriors of all our Indian tribes. The
Sioux are the best Indians physically
we have en- the continent, and they are
capsule OF 4 measure of enduralce in
a severe campaign that soldiers know
D0tbing OF. They surpass IN tr0Dps
both in the quality of their homes and
In horsemanship; they have better arms
and can use them nor skilfu)i5s they
thoroughly understand the country and
are most accomplished ~strategists in
their peculiar mode of warfare. They
may wait for Crooks advance and then
deliberately give battle, butft win be q
marvel if they should do 30. II they
are as strongnsfhemos relizi3eiuforma-
tion makes them, andtkey want to close
the war speedily, they win either attack
Crook or completely besiege him and
cut up his r-einforcements as they come;
and if they are weaker than we have
reason to apprehend, or for any reason
desire to probing The Wal, they viii r.
treat as Crook advances and await a
more favorable opportunity for battle.
Certainly the Indians have gained
largely by the necessary delay that fol-
the Custer R6ssacre, and the
complete success of that butchery has
doubtless drawn several thousand young
warriors from pr0fessedly friendly tribes
to join the fortunes of Sitting Bull. We
cannot but believe that the preparations
for the Indian wal by the government
are entirely Inadequate, and that the
peace Of the Northwest, the safety of
the settlers and the success of our troops
have been fearfully periled by the
of Generals Sherman and Sheri-
dan to appreciate the magnitude of the

Tilden and the Credit Mobilier.

The tracks Of the astute old politician
who has secured the Democratic nomi-
nation for the presidency are being rap
idly uncovered, and before the canvass
is over it will appear to the most obtuse
that his claim to be considered a model
reformer is the most impudent assump-
ton since the days of Aaron Burr, his
prototype Here is some testimony
taken by a Congressional. Committee
showing that Tilden was one Of the
originators of the Credit Mobilier, by
which a ring of railroad operators robbed
the Union Pacific railroadof s37, 500, 900
in bonds and a large part of the stock
Of the company. These operators, hay
ing determined to fleece the company
while the road was building, went to
Samuel J. Tilden to know how they
coulddo it without rendering themselves
LIABLE to prosecution, and the great re-
former willingly gave them the benefit
of his experience in railroad wrecking,
and no man in the country has had
more or has profited more richly there
by.
In the official report of the investiga-
tion of the Credit Mobilier business be-
fore the Congressional committee VIII
son's) page 292, we have the testimony
of Oliver Ames, the brother and part
ner of Cakes Ames, who was present
and asserting. After explaining how
the two companies were worked by the
same en-the Credit Mobilier swallow
ing up the other-the testimony reads:
By Mr.. Hoar-Were you not inform
ed by the counsel who drew the contract
that this was a violation of law?
Ames-We were informed by counsel
whom we consulted that this issuing of
stock ito the Q. NJ as a payment upon
the contract for building the road was
IN entire compliance with the law. r
