The intense heat Of yesterday, although
somewhat less than that experienced in this
city on Thursday, suggests some reflections
on the changes that are said to be taking
place in the climatic conditions of this Sec
ton of the United States. Exactly one
hundred years ago, when the brave CONT
nentals of Washington stood in battle order
on the field of Monmouth, the sun poured
down his rays SO fiercely as to carry death
and dismay into the ranks of the mercenary
Hessians. Indeed, the history ofthat famous
fight tells us how the exhausted enemy
struggled in the dreadful heat, and how
much can be attributed to it's influence in
winning the battle Yesterday the centen-
NAL celebration of the battle Of Mon
mouth was held under exactly similar
conditions as to temperature, and, doubt
less the patriotic participators in the exer-
cises, military and otherwise, suffered
many of the torrents Of heat and
thirst that defeated the Hessians. Care
full comparisons Of the meteorological
records of given districts, covering long
periods, prove that the averages for ten,
twenty, fifty, and even one hundred years,
show but the most unimportant differences.
Except from causes arising out of an extern
sion of the agricultural areas, the destruc-
ton of forests, the exposure Of larger sur
faces to the absorption of solar heat, and
probably the consumption of fuel in large
cities, there can be but little change pro-
duced in the climatic conditions of O coun-
try, not to say o continent. Hence.
although changes more or less marked
may be noticed in certain restricted
districts, the general averages of tenn
perature and precipitation remain un-
altered. Extreme heats in summer are
transient phenomena. and their effects are
often governed more by the conditions I'M
der which they are experienced than by
their own intensity. Our habits of life,
food, clothing, dwellings and means of
travel are so different from those Of q GEN.
tury ago that we are liable to entertain
erroneous views Of the climatic conditions
now prevailing Us compared with those Of
the days of Monmouth. The extension OF
interests demanding from those interested
exercise. the general use Of alcoholic stimu-
lants, Of tobacco, and of mixed and often
unhealthy food, render city population
less fitted to sustain summer heats than
people accustomed to country life. 10
such, therefore, summer heats beyond =
very ordinary degree become dangerous,
because they do not realize the necessity Of
adapting their habits Of life to these sud.

petty politician of petty State and growis
out to the friends Of one Of the candidates
that unless he is taken care of he will
change the whole result. About eight and
a half millions of citizens went to the polls
in November, 1876, and cast their votes,
and after all their trouble and excitement
McLin and Dennis, Anderson and Agnes
jerks, Madison Wells, Pitkin and Eliza
Pinkston decided the election, and with
amusing cynicism demanded to be "taken
care Of" before they would tell us who
should be our next President.
1t is because he would no longer lend the
countenance OF the federal power and the
help Of federal troops to such inscriptions
political gamblers that Mr.. Hayes has been
denounced by the republican leaders. We
will do them, or most of them, the justice
to believe that they were themselves mis-
led !; that they did not comprehend the
character of these so-called Southern re-
publicans. But in That case they ought
to make haste now to cut adrift these po-
litical wreckers. TO them the Potter
Committee is teaching lesson which
they cannot afford to despise. And
it is such people MS these per-
jurers and their principals to whom Mr.,
Hayes and some Of his Cabinet have been
giving office--redeeming, to their own
shame the promises Of visiting statesmen
that these tools should be "taken care OF. ="
OF course men like McLin, Dennis, Ander-
son and Packard are not satisfied. They
were the vulgar Warwicks of 1876, and they
expected royal rewards. 1t is dirty mess
for the leaders of great party to fall into.
If the President is wise-if he has any care
for his own reputation -he will no longer
hesitate, but make haste to turn out Of
Office every man who had to do with the
elections in Florida and Louisiana. He
cannot afford, in the light of recent revela-
tions, to stand before the world as the ally

AIdsrmankc Strategy.

An exceedingly interesting little game
is now being played by that fraction OF the
Board of Aldermen called it's Law Commit
cracker men. For weeks and weeks the
able jurists Of the Board have had under
consid Grafton the petition Of the fireworks
manufacturers to suspend the anti-ireworks
ordinance on the Sd and 4th ofJuly, so as to
allow them an opportunity to dispose Of
their death-dealing stock and give the
patriotic small boy chance to blow his
head and arms of and possibly burn down
few hundred thousand dollars worth of
property in honor of the Revolutionary
patriots. The FIRE insurance companies and
the patient property holders, who are TO DO
the chief sufferers by the patriotic perpetual
ton Of the glories Of the Republic, have
protested as pathetically as they know how,
but the legal luminaries look as solemn and
wise as owls and declare they do not know
what to do. The Aldermen cannot be
brought together to give an opinion on the
subject, and so, the matter stands Turning
back to the experience Of year ago, it is

and at night read their victory in the glare
Of score of first class confagrations.
That was the end of tho struggle last year.
At the last moment they adduced several
solid and substantial reasons why the ordi-
nance should be suspended, and tho Alder
men, in fit of patriotic fervor, yielded to
the soft persuasion. History, they say, is
always repeating herself and it begins to
look now as if she intends TO go over
the old story again. If this fireworks ordi-
nance is to be suspended every year in this
way why not repeal it altogether? It is
surely no use to the citizens and it must be
annoying to the patriotic irecracker men.
Probably the Aldermen see some utility in
it, and that is why it remains to adorn our
city statutes. Wonder what use 1t is to tho
