The Culpeper Times lays down tine law
for that Congressional District, and says
that the debt question must enter into the
canvass. 1t fayors a clear, square issue on
this vital matter, and urges the readJusters
to be ygilant about the primary meetings.
Would it Lot be better to dispense with pri-
maries and conventions, and let the people
take il in hand and determine it? 1t is
really an Issue between the ring politicians
and the people, and the better way to test
the strength of machine politicians is to al
low the people to give them broadside at
the ballot-boX.

Moifett Register in that State. Its adoption
IL before the Legislature of New York and
also New Hampshire. 1t is stated by a CO.
temporary that iJ will be probably generally
adopted by all the debt-ridden States in the
Union. While this general disposition is
being manifested in other States. the opera
ton OF the law in Virginia shows that the
people have greatly modified their appetites
for whiskey, or have learned how to beat
the register, as the, returns show large
falling off from the estimates made from the
drst months returns. We should like to
zee the law have fair and honest trial, al
though we are not much in favor OF that
kind OF legislation. 1t is law, however,
and should be rgidly carried out and il it
wild assist materially in aiding to meet the
States obligations, the Objectionable princ-
pie embraced in it may for the time be over
looked.

SPEAKING of the hot weather just ex-
perienced east of the Rocky Mountains,
the San Francisco Chronicle says there
never has been well-authenticated case
of sunstroke in California, although it is
not unusual for the thermometer to rise
to 112o degrees in some parts of that
State, and to 1867 and to 1899 in Sacra-
mento and Marysville. In June 1859 from
the effect of a sirocco blowing from the
Colorado desert, the thermometer marked
1920 in Stanislaus County and 1889 in
the shade of the various places in San
Bernardino and Santa Barbara counties.
At the mines 110o to l140 in the shade
has not been uncommon; yet so pure
and dry is the atmosphere that thousands
of miners have worked all day long in
the sun, during the geatest heat, with
out prostration. In San Francisco the
temperature is much lower than in the
interior of the State, and seldom rises
much above 700; but during the last
two years the beat, perhaps on account
of dry winters and intermissions in the
trade winds, has been greater than form
erly, the summer of 1877 having been
the hottest in the history of the State.
June IL, 1876, the thermometer rose 95',
and June IL, 1877, to 990. These two
years have also been marked by an un-
usual mortality, owing, possibly to the
heat and to a miasmatic north wind.

were they but turned to account. But
the timber is but little utilized; the
mines where they are worked at all, are
wholly dependent upon foreign capital
and enterprise; the horse rearing is in
the hands of the Turks; the little trade
that exists is in the hands of the Jews
and Armenians; the chief manufacture
of the province, significantly enough,
are firearms, sabers, and knives, The
fact is that, partly from the intractable
nature and partly from it having been
annexed in 1923, Bosnia has Away re-
tanned more of its original character
than any other European province of
Turkey. The great outbreak of 1851
was only an enlaged specimen of what
has been going on for centuries among
these steep, craggy ridges and gloomy
forests. The Morlaks of Herzegovina
are still as fierce and untamable as when
their forefathers, the terrible Croats
of Count lilly, staggered through the
burning streets of Magdeburg, in 1851,
with living infants on their spear-points.
Out of the one and a quarter millions
population, nearly one-third are Bos-
mans of the genuine breed-tenacious of
their own customs, hostile to everything
foreign, passionately fond of hunting,
splendid horsemen, and born robbers.
But there is one infallible remedy for
all the disorders of Bosnia, viz, firm
government. The strong hand of Aus
tria will teach these desperadoes that
respect for law and order which they
could never have learned under the
capricious tyranny of the Porte. Roads
and railways will gradually extirpate
brigandage as they have already in Italy
and the Pyrenees. The quaint old cap
ital of Bosnia Serai (' Bosnia's Inn y,
still dominated by the citadel which re-
pulsed Prince Eugene himself in 1897,
may yet become, with its central posi-
ton, its population of fifty thousand,
and its rising manufactures of jewelry
and hardware the nucleus of flourish
ing traffic. Whatever may be thought
of the justice of Austria's occupation of
the two provinces, there can be no ques-
ton that, if resolutely carried out, it
will prove an incalculable gain to both.
