THE astronomer of The Rochester
Democrat says: Judging from pres
ent indications of the activity of So
lar storms, the coming winter will
greatly resemble last winter, al
though the changes will be less vio-
lent, and the severe storms less in
number. During last winter there
were hurricanes which did a great
deal of damage in this state. The
sun storms, which produced them,
were of great energy. But there
has been a gradual slackening of the
energy of these disturbances since
last April, and there are evidences
that we are gradully approaching a
medium period of solar activity.
During minimum periods great sun
storms occur, but at longer inter
walls"

The Destruction Of the WiScon-

Like the trees in the summer-time, FUR and

Like the same trees in au tumn with bare

That host on the morrow was scattered mud

For correct returns spread their wlpSs on the

And cut down the bcprbon's pluralities fast,
And the hearts Of the Prohibs and Mugwumps
were chilled,
They'd had their one yell, and forever were
stilled.

And he squirmed and moaned, "Ohl | meant

If he said it or not, or meant it or no.

And there stood the mugwumps, Butt Bryant

And they sang in sweet chorus, We've done

And while il is true you'r not ont of the wood
When you're all Strengthened up and quite over

We think we're deserving of one little erumb." :"
Poor Bryants sore head wrapped in huge lions

Though we must own you're deeper by far in

1t is written, the laborer is worthy his hire.
The mugwumps went through the campaign
with zest,
And no one. we're sure, will begrudge them
their rest.
And if they break up we will pick up the bits.
They'll serve us as whetstones to sbapen cur

Now Thomas Thumb Richmond. whose bright,

Can light up the street that he walks on, for

May devote all his day TO the cause, and at

Hire out on the street ears to serve as red light.
Thus all over the state they are loud in their

And the windows are broke in the wigwam of

And the wigwam itself lies down in heap,
And from Wisconsin Bourbons we hear not a

DURING the war everything was high
including labor and taxes. But wages
have reduced and free traders insist that
taxes also should be reduced. There
was a necessity when the war was inpro-
gress and some time after for large
revenue, and this was secured by high
tariff. But when this need ceased to
exist the tax continued but instead of
going to the government it went to the
manufacturers. The wealthy people are
by no means restricted to American mar
kets. They make trips to Europe and
purchase in the cheapest markets and
the tariff laws are SO construed that
person might bring in goods for his own
use free of duty. But the poor people
are unable to cross the Atlantic and they
must pay the exorbitant prices which a
protective tariff makes possible. France
had heavy war tax added to the in
demnity which was paid to Germany.
But when the debt became lighter, taxes
were reduced aud the people are not per-
petualIy burdened with tax where there
is no great obligation to be discharged.

The majority in Ohio will not exceed
10000. Four years ego when the repub-
licaps ouly gave it little attention, being
absorbed in Indiana, it went over 10, 900.
There is no independent vote in Ohio
as there is in New York. Besides the
lavish use Of money, the mapufacturers
bulldozed their employees, one firm, in
particular, having issued a notice stating
that tho mills would be shut down until
after the November election if Ohio went
democratic, and if Cleveland was elected
would continue closed. If Ohio went
republican they would continue open.
The starving workmen did not wish to
be thrown out of work and in conse-
quence voted with the republicans
There is no cause for Encouragement.
Ohio is republican state and its loss to
that party would not merely foreshadow
defeat, but would be irretrievable disas-
ter. West Virginia has gone democratic
By more than the customary majority.
Thus far the parties stand even.

CnERaYMEN are getting to be famous
either as slanderers or writer's of non
sense. A Wisconsin clergyman lately
undertook to get up little sensation by
writing letter stating that he had been
informed by another clergyman who got
his information direct from President
Seelye, that the latter had been visited
by members of the democratic national
committee and asked to consent to take
Cleveland's place on the ticket should
Ohio 60 republican. President Seelye
announces that he never made the state
mens and that he knows nothing of the
clergyman who pretends to be his conf
dant. Rev. Ball is the only one who has
succeeded in becoming notorious.

IT looks as if Frank Hurd of Ohio is
defeated for congress. If SO it proves
that man who is thoroughly honest in
his opinions, and who always has the
courage of his convictions, ever prompt
to work in the interests of the people
and opposed to class legislation, is apt
to be abandoned by the people he serves
with such singleness of purpose. There
was no ADLER man in congress than Hurd
and the country has no ADLER or more
consistent champion of free trade. He
could be re-electe / had he shown any
inclination to dissemble his free trade
doctrines. His constituency are largely
engaged in wool raising and he was ask
ed by them if he would vote to restore
the tariff on wool. In his reply he did
not attempt deception. He boldly an
nounced if every person in his district
asked him to vote to restore the duty he
would still refuse, because he felt it was
wrong. His honesty was his political
death sentence. A millionaire is elected
in his place.

BLAINE's march through Ohio has not
been altogether triumphant one. The
counter mass meetings have been gall
ing to him as they direct attention to his
record. Blaine's purpose has been to
direct attention to some other issue and
then escape the terrible criticism to
which he has been subjected. But the
charges keep growing stronger and de-
fections in the party are on the increase.
He is bold man, nevertheless, and is
conducting the campaign with the same
dash, audacity and disregard for pro-
priety which characterized his course in
the House of Representatives..

THE RESULT IN OHIO.

Ohio has gone republican by the usual
majority. II was utter nonsense to claim
it as democratic state as it never yet
failed to give majority to the republican
party in presidential years since that
party was organized. There can be no
question that it was more inclined toward
democracy this year than any since 1856,
except 1876 when the republican majority
was only nominal. But heretofore re-
publicans bent their efforts toward secur-
ing Indiana. This year all their efforts
were concentrated ON Ohio. The state
was deluged with money and republican
campaigners. 1t was even deemed neces-
ssry to sacrifice the dignity of reserve
which tradition has made sacred in the
case of presidential candidate and
Blaine appeared on the stump to secure
the Endorsement of state without which
his success was impossible.
Besides the wool growers demanded
protection. They wanted tax levied on
foreign wool so as to prevent its importa-
ton and raise its price. Cheap wool
makes cheap wooden fabrics but people
seem willing to pay high prices under
the alluring name of protection. The
wool growers voted solidly with the
republicans.
The democrats builded their hopes
mainly upon the detection of the Ger
mans. But this hope has proved Elusive.
Where the Germans are strongest the
republican gains are greatest. Is there
not a note of warning in this? There
can not be much doubt that the Germans
became disguised with the motives as.
cribed for the change in their political
sentiments. Wherever any steps have
been taken toward placing limits upon
the sale of liquor in the interests of pub
lie morality, an insensate howl was raised
that the Germans we're rampant in their
opposition, and they no doubt got dis
gusted with being regarded as champions
of license and advocates of dissipation.
They have shown that they will not
abandon the party with which they act
because of restrictions upon the liquor
traffic and democrats stultify themselves
in building upon any such delusive hopes.
1t is not reasonable to assume that their
advocacy of personal liberty" includes
removal of all restraint upon appetite.
They will not tolerate any such discredit-
able misinterpretation and to remove
such impression will act with those who
are puritanical rather than with those
who ascribe to them opinions which are
subversive of principles upon which
society must rest. No nationality can be
courted and won on grounds which are
discreditable and if the election in Ohio
demonstrates this it has taught lesson
so valuable that it has not been too dear
ly purchased.
New York and Indiana are now the
battle grounds, and it is safe to say this
will O. the wisp will not be followed with
such unreasoning diligence. Money
cannot be slumped into those states in
such quantities as to make it possible to
carry them. Ohio is republican state
has been so uniformly, but New York and
Indiana belong to the party which pre-
serts the cleanast candidate and advo-
Gates principles upon which good govern
ment rests.

feated by Beach, it is evident the former
is beginning to break down. He has
stood training and matches long time,
but one great squirt in which he left the
Australian clear behind him SO utterly
exhausted him that it was no difficult
matter to defeat him. He is plucky
man but his rowing days are over.
