Ohio we respectfully suggest that If judge Hoadly
scan stand the position in which he finds himself,
we are sure that Governor Foster can stand 1t.
That mythical person, the oldest inhabitant,
would, IL appealed to- doubtless assert with some
emphasize that the month of July Just ending has
been phenomenally cool. Why it should be 90 he
would find 1t hard to tell. Has the sun given out
less heat than usual. or have his rays been tenn
pered or intercepted by unexpected agenciesf This
| happens to be o year of great solar activity, as
indicated by the size and numbtr of spots on the
suns surface. According to one theory, in
creased activity means greater heat with torrid
summers and copious rainfall. On the other
hand it is claimed that the spots diminish the
radiating surface of the sun, and thus reduce the
| heat received from that body The cool tempera-
ture of the past month, in this country at least,
would seem to favor the latter hypothesis, while
| the frequent and heavy showers which have made
the country so unusually green and beautiful at
this season of the year, when vegetation is gem
orally scorched and brown, support the irst-named
theory. Won't some of the meteorologists and as
tronomers rise and explain, and chase away our
perplexitiesf
II Mr.. Charles E. Courtney. professional oars
man. would talk slower and row faster 1T would be
well for his reputation. His latest achievement is
not the winning of six races hut declaration OF
his willingness to row any SIX men that Hanlan
may name. A good many people who take an In
telligent interest in boating regard Courtney rs a
fraud. 1t Is 20 be hoped they are mistaken. The
best way for him to prove they arc is to keep his
mouth shut and pull.
Some people have an awfully wicked way of say
ing thiDgs:a kind of nsinuaing suggestiveness that
underneath most commonplace remark conceals
several torpedoes of the most explosive character.
Here is Mr. Henry Watterson, for instance, saying
in The Louisville C0srier-Joarnat that 1.-THE news
papers of the country doing Mr.. Hendricks
almost rs much injustice by the wanton assumption
that he is hostile Mr.. Mcdonald they are doing
Mr. Trlden by the foolish assumption that he could
be induced to accept the Presidency" That is only
a way the blond Kentuckian has of saying to those
who know the relations between Hendricks and
Mcdonald that Tllden is a candidate; while, 10
those who know Tilden. he conveys the information
that Hendricks and Mcdonald are at swords points.
Almost as much Injustice" is good. Your wanton
assumption that drink chabiis with my oysters Is
as unjust as the foolish assumption that take
sherry with my SOUP"
Governor Cleveland is reported as believing that
" the days for making slate for State Convention
to ratify are passed." The Gov ernor very likely
hegan to entertain this belief when he ound that
he could neither coax scold Tamnany Senators
into confirming hls nominations.
There is nothing more amusing even in Democratic
politics than the manner in which the Indiana
Democrats assume. Immediately there is any talk
of Presidential candidates, that they are to have
either first second place the ticket, and there

shall be and who shall have it. In 1879 it only
Il question whether they should take the first or
second place for Hendricks; in 1880 failing to take
the first place for Hendricks, they took the second
for English and now they seem TO think that it is
left for them to say whether they will have Joe"
Mcdonald for President the old ticket with Hen
bricks as Vice President. They are bound 10 have
something every time. And rs If having had a can
didate on the ticket in 1876 and 1880
and prOspectively 1854 were Lot
enough. 1t is sand that Senator Voorhees, is
u candidate for President III 1883. They say he is
barely in the prime of life and eau afford TO wait"
=" Afford to wait y Oh can be- Well. let us be
thankful for that.
The suggestion that men IN Ight, could or would
wear cossets has ALWAYS been regarded as libelous
by the at large. Yet one of the London week
lies displays tits advertising columns half-length
picture of slim and elegant young man wearing
corset. his outer garments being removed IN order
to display its contour. The young man has most
delicate and graceful mustache, and his gently
curling hair rippes off classic brow. Accompany
ing this Affecting picture is the following: So

suffering from Corpulency. or any Spinal Complaint
lie is Beautiful Being. We suspect that corsets
are worn by young who cannot present doc
