HEAT IN CALIFORNIA.
some Of the wonders Of the Thermometer
on the Pacific slope.
tSt. Louis Republican,

tSt. Louis Republican,
A spell ef unusually hot weather that
prevailed in California week before last
reminds us that the weather at times is
better in certain localities in that State
than anywhere else on the continent.
The month OF June rarely passes with
out bringing the mercury In thermome-
Vile, Davisville and other valley towns
up to 100 and 106 degrees Fahrenheit,
and sometimes up to 10S degrees. AS q
rule, the lowest summer temperature Is
found along the coast line, where the
sun g rays are cooled by the winds from
the west and northwest, and the highest
in the foothills at attitudes ranging
from 500 to 1900 feet above the sea level.
Some localities are afflicted with de-
gree Of heat that people living In other
parts Of the United States can have no
conception of.
At Knights Ferry, on the Stanislaus
river. in Stanislaus county, where
perpendicular cliff Of cement and gravel
reflects the suns rays back on the town,
the mercury reaches 100 to 122 degrees
in the shade. In San Bernardino and
the eastern parts Of Los Angeles and
Santa Barbara counties, the mercury
once indicated temperature Of 1873
degrees. Cattle perished in the fields,
and birds dropped dead from the trees
before the scorching heat. At the same
time in the towns along the old Placer
belt, from the Mokelumne river to the
Merced, east OF Table Mountain range,
the temperature was III to 119 degrees
in the shade. This was in 1859, the hot
test summer remembered in California.
The present June is the hottest known
since that year, the excessive heat be-
ing caused, strangely enough, by a
north wind, aggravated by the unusual
dryness of the country.

The Address of the Bar.

Which appears upon the second page of
to-day's issue, may be taken as decided
expression of opinion, so far as this county
is concerned, of the acting members of the
bar against party nomination OF judges
tor circuit and county courts.
The address contains a careful and can
did statement of the character of the coun
ty court as it is about to be re-organized,
and of the qualifications required fer its
judge. 1t very properly claims he should
De man OF good legal learning and ability,
as we'll as possessed of some practical ex-
perience in the profession. Without these
necessary requisites the court will fail to
accomplish its intended object, and will
bring little or no relief to an over. crowded
circuit court.
The address pointedly declines to indi-
cate a preference for any particular person
of the profession; but while it properly
does this, it distinctly denrecates party
action, and expresses the hone that the
people, as such, may act in the matter I'M.

A Superb Blood pepure..t.

Upon the action of the kidneys, bladder
and bowels depends the depuration of
the blood. 1t is by promoting the activity
of these organs that Hostetters Stomach
Bitters ensures purity to the circulation.
In its passage through the kidneys, impur-
tiles which beget rheumatism, govt, and
gravel are strained from the blood. but
when those small but all important organs
grow inactive, these impurities of course
remain, and inevitably produce the
diseases mentioned, Hosteter's Bitters,
rouse the kidneys to renewed activity. by
which means the blood is depurated 1t
likewise puri6es the blood when contain
mated with bile by promoting a gentle but
efectual action of the bowels, and has the
further effect of regulating the action of
the liver, thus counteracting a tendency to
biliousness. Dyspepsia, malarial fevers
and urinary complaints are also conquered
by it.

Il strikes rs that good digestion has

the case of Mr.. Pratt. bfr. Pratt last
week presided over a grand clam-bake in
Rhode island. in honor of President
Hayes, and President Hayes, yesterday,
appointed Mr.. Pratt collector of
customs. at Newport. All reports
agree that the clans were excel
lent. and that Senator Burnside,
who was but recently an invalid, ate at
least hundred of them and felt better
for it. The country will await with interest
the experience of Mr.. Pratt in regard to
civil-service reform. 1t would be atrocious
to make a slave of man after eating his
baked clans by the bushel. And yet if
Mr.. Pratt finds himself in his new place
not vassal but a peer Really it is too
dreadful Nevertheless. clans always
have been thought good bait, in New
England.

Will the Davenport Postmaster be Re-
quested to Resign2


Tie Cambridge Chronicle, 4 strong Re-
publican paper, says:
We are afraid that Mr.. Ed, Russell,
postmaster at Davenport, has allowed his
zeal in support of the presidents policy
to run into trouble. An order of the
president forbids any federal officer, on
pain of dismissal, to take part in the
management of political organizations.
caucuses, conventions, and election cam
paigus," This is designed to purify the
public service; but how can the service
be purified, we would like to know, when
Mr.. Ed. Russell, postmaster as aforesaid,
acts as chairman of the Scott county Re-
publican committee, calls the county con-
vention, calls it to order when assembled
and dominates its chairman, acts himself
as chairman of the committee on resolu-
tons and generally manages and controls
the tone of the convention, and then is
sent by it as delegate to the state con-
yenti0n. Manitestly, the purity of the
service is in great danger, and the presi-
dent can do no less than to execute his
supplementary threat where he said IN a
subsequent utteraDce, L am determined
to show my earnestness and sincerity to
procure reform in this direction by making
an example of the first federal officer who
shall violate the order issued Saturday. "
Perhaps, however, Mr.. Russell was not the
first and besides, he excluded in his call for
the county convention all republicans who
do not approve 'the policy" and reported
and carried through the convention resolu-
tons strongly supporting the policy,
and is thus entitled to much forbearance
from the President. Forther, he constant
ly occupies in his paper. the Davenport
Gazette. the attitude of a sycophantic
turnkey toward the administration, and If
he has not earned his postoffce, he would
like to know who has. 1t is an em5ar-
rassiag case for the administration, and
one calling for the exercise of superior
craftsmanship.
