THE Tariff Commissioners are hav-

height of the season, when beauty and
fashion abound, and are calmly sniff.

waves, upon which no one ever wearies
of gazing, stir the soul and inspire the

sea are beautiful to behold hundreds
of young ladies, superlatively attrac-
tive in their elegant bathing suits, dis
port like mermaids in the surf; or,
richly attired and sparkling with dia-
monds, dizzily float in the mazes of
the dance. Nothing is lacking to
make the Commissions soiourn at the
Branch delightful. Besides, each mem
ber gets ten dollars day, and they
are aware of the fact that the country
does not expect their report to be of
any special value. So, with minds at
ease and expenses paid, to them the
days pass dreamily away. Who would
not be Tariff Commissioner at Long
Branch in midsummer Times Star.

HARRISBURG, August s.
The outlook for Cameron's machine
is far from fattering in this district
Heretofore the Senator had no diff.
Guilty in his way that was not easv Of
removal. He sent Mr.. Sam Barr to
Congress two years ago, just as he
would have sent him on an errand
and has always been able to manipu.

out consulting popular feeling or the
public interest. There is trouble
ahead this year for him and his de.
pendents. Josiah Funk, Esq, NAV
get the Lebanon delegates for Ass6.
clate Judge, and it has been intimated
here that it may become necessary to
trade off the present Judge, John b.
Mcpherson, Esq, to make sure Of
Lebanon's support for Barr. This
would be likely to raise a breeze. even
among the subservient Cameron poIiti-
clans of Lebanon county, and there
are none more so in the State, Judging
by the specimens that come here TO
represent that county. Barr is the
Jumbo in the Cameron mcnagerie and
would be bounced if he did not know
too much. Still, the displacement Of
Judge Mcpherson will be high price
to pay for another term of Barr, and
will be resented by our people, without
distinction of party. Mcpherson gives
promise of becoming one of the lead
ing jurists of the State, and if sound
policy controls the selection. rather
than partisan intrigue, the result can.
not be in doubt.
Wolfe had over 5000 votes in the
district and the Independent ticket is
considerably stronger this year. There
will be thorough organization and the
certainty Of success inspires all with
enthusiasm. Barr wants no Inde-
pendent support and scorns the move
ment for reform. In one of his spiri-
ted interviews, recently published in
the Press, he declared the independent
Republicans to be $50 many asses"
They certainly would deserve the ap.
pellatiOn il they reelected him to
Congress. Cameron may, however, be
compelled by the pressure of public
opinion TO Withdraw him from the can
vass, with view of strengthening
himself and his State ticket. Barr
will be heavy load for Beaver. His
candidacy means fight a third candi-
date and the probable loss of the
Fourteenth district to the Republicans.

The Influence OF Forests on Climate.

Man is destructive creature. For
his present benefit he destroys the fu-
ture of continents. The tree-cutting
axe has played an important part in
the travel of civilization westward
with the sun. Now that the circle of
the globe has been made by civilized
man a halt is called and philosophers
and scientists go back to the comtem-
plation of causes and effects. The
problem of weather generation is an
old one. The ancient inhabitants of a
little oasis in the province of Numidia
tried to break the spell of summer by
hogging serpent and centuries before
the days of Romulus the Etruscans had
attempted the problem by establishing
a temple in grove where an effort
was made to chase winter from the
lap of spring by incantations and
charms. To-oay man has captured the
lightning and utilized the elements.
He can predict the weather; his next
business is to control it. The effect of
forest culture upon the climate and the

Is Ii Monopoly.

Complaints are already beginning
TO come III regarding the action of the
Minneapolis millers association at va.
rlous Northern Pacific points, with
respect to the grading of our North
Dakota No. | Hard wheat. These
complaints are of a character to make
1t probable that we shall have what
the unregenerate would call a ..holy
circus all along the line before an.
other season. The people are long.
suffering, slow to anger and easily
appeased, but there are outrages, such
us some that touch their pockets

to, and it really does look as if the
Minneapolis millers' Northern Pacific
elevator monopoly were contemplate
ing one which, If perpetrated, might
and doubtless would result in such a
row asthls peaceful country has never
dreamed Of.
AT one station at least the Minneap-
Oils outfit is reported to have refused
to grade mo. ! Hard" and only to
accept wheat of that quality as straight

to the farmers of North Dakota are
easily foretold. The association buys

with inferior Minnesota wheat, and
brings the average up to mixture
which will easily grade NO. /" at

be bought at ten, twelve or fifteen
cents per bushel under the price of

ulation IS apparent. But there is a
phase Of the question even more seri-
Gus as affecting the interests of this
section. The action referred to. If
persisted in, will naturally drive out
all local competition, and our home
wheat buyers will hc left out in the
cold. while the farmers will he neces-
sarily turned over to the tender mer-
cies of the monopoly. The merchant

Yesterday morning the ARGUS was in

friends of Mr.. August Herkert to tender
him the deserved compliment, last evening,
of surprise visit, it being his seth birth
day anniversary. But we promised not to
give it away" in advance. although a
great many friends of Mr. Herkert, who
could not be reached in time through the
usual channels, would have been glad, I'M
doubleday, to have sent up an evidence of
their esteem for him. When evening came
quite company of friends assembled in
the city council rooms and about 8
o'clock marched in a body to Turner
Hall and began dancing half
hour or an hour later. At about half past
nine o'clock Mr.. Herkert, who had been
away, arrived and found the hall in pos
session of his friends. He was quickly
hall and introduced to the assembled COM
pany. Counselor Joseph L. Haas did the
presentation honors most creditably, wind
ing up with handing to Mr.. Herkert a
beautiful gold headed ebony cane. Mr..
Herkert made suitable and expressive ac-
acknowledgement after which dancing was re-
sumed and continued till midnight when
supper was announced. Those who had
the pleasure of participating declare with
singular. yet not unexpected, una
nimity, that this supper, pre-
pared and served under Mrs. Herkert's
direction, was one of the finest and most
elaborate ones ever given in Turner Hall.
After supper short addresses We're made by
and everybody felt that it was good to be
