THE Russian Jews recently arrived
at Philadelphia, in retelling the story
of their prosecutions, make it plain
that the Russian tradesmen and peas
ants were animated by prejudice so
strong as to make them like sayages,
and that the local authorities were
either overawed by the mob or in SYM
pathy with it. The refugees, it is said,
were very much touched by their re-
ception in this country, and are eager
20 find homes. In considering the
question of whether they should re-
main in the east, go to Florida, or come
to the northwest, the eastern papers
put the northwest first All climatic
considerations would favor the north
west, but the special inducements Of
fered will probably take many of them
to Florida.

India In Hot Weather .

| will briefly indicate the thermomet
rio features, say at central position like
Allahabad. In January the indoor
temperature will reach its minimum,
perhaps standing at "a degrees. The
rise is very gradual, and gets into the
"eighties" toward the middle of March
when steady at IS degrees punkahs
become necessary. Above 80 degrees
the heat is oppressive, and at 50 de-
grees horribly SO. This is generally the
temperature during the lull between
monsoons. In exceptional years have
known pillows and sheets to be uncom-
fortably not, requiring sprinkling with
water; and / similarly retired to rest
in drenched night-clothes. But the
hot weather is mercifully interrupted
by two remarkable meteorological
phenomena. First, at its commence
ment we have almost always violent
hailstorms, which benefcially cool the
air, and then at its acme we have those
very remarkable electrical dust-storms,
which impress fresh life and vigor all
around. Let me describe one Nature
seems subdued under the great heat,
and is in absolute repose. Not the
faintest breath is there to coax the
faintest movement in the leaves;
silence prevails, for even the garrulous
crows can't cav because their beaks
are wide open to assist respiration,
''Tufan alta p \ storm is coming and
the house servants rush in to) close all
doors. Anxious to witness the mag
nifcence of the approaching storm,
you remain out to brave it, and soon
feel its approaching breath on your
cheek. Looking to win1ward you see
a black cloud approaching, and before
it leaves and sticks, kites and crows
circling round in wild confusion, You
now hear its roar while rapt in admira-
ton, you are enveloped in its grimy
mantle, and have to look to your foot
ing in resisting its fury; and this is no
joke, for eyes, nostrils and ears are
crowded with dust. AS the blast APP
proaches you see flash of lightning
and hear its clap of thunder, and then
feel the heavy cold rain drops which
sparsely fall around. Darkness black
as Erebus surrounds you, darkness
which literally may be felt, for clouds
of dust occasion it: and if you are
within doors night prevails, requiring
the lighting of lamps. The storm
passes. light returns, and you find
everything begrimed with dust. Every
door is now thrown open to admit
the cool, bracing, ozone changed air,
which you eagerly inhale with dilated
nostrils, and feel that you have secured
fresh lease of existence.

THE fall of that building at St. Louis
was startling reminder of the possible
insecurity of many of the hasty struc-

Poor mortar and poor masonry seem

COMMITTEE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-Now that ex-
Senator Dorsey has been criminally in
dicted a good many republican con-
gressmen are annoyed that he persists
in retaining his position as secretary of
the republican national committee. 1t
is thought that the members and officers
of the national committee should be-

munity, and it has been suggesLed that
at the mex meeting of the committee
it would be well to adopt a rule that
any one of the members hereafter in
dicted for criminal offences, such as
star route robberies, shall thereby cease
to be member of the committee. A
question now discussed is whether Mr..
Dorsey will resign, or whether he will

IN the trial of the Nihilists at St.
Petersburg, Soukhahoff and other lead
ers excused their resort to assassina-
ton because of cases of injustice and
cruelty of the government that came
under their observation. They are
proud of the part they played as terror
lists, because they believe it is right to
destroy government in whose name
so many abuses were practiced. In
America the one man who resorts to
assassination makes no complaint
against the government, and admits
no grievance against the man he killed.
No wonder that even such men as
Soukhahof repudiate such miscreants
as Guiteau.
