Although Gen. Butler is probably the
shrewdest man IN the United States, Mr..
George o. Jones, the leader of the New
York Greenbackers, thinks he has HIM in
a tight place. He tells Gen. Butler that
the GreenbacRers will nominate him for
President, provided he viii openly con-
sent 10 accept the nomination before the
convention is held and remain in the field
as a candidate until the polls are closed
in the November election. OF course, if
Butler should agree to these terms, he
would have no right even to be delegate
to the National Democratic Convention,
much less to be a tied-out candidate for
its nomination. 1t is supposed that Gov.
Butler will daily with the Greenbackers
= little, but not commit himself so fully
as to rule himself out Of the Democratic
party. The probability is that the Green
back convention will nominate Butler

Astonished Committees.

The Republican National Committee
and the Congressional Committee are in
bad fix. A Washington correspondent
says they are ''paralyzed." 1t is certain
that they are in a very unhappy frame Of
mind. The National Committee is largely
composed of prominent offieeholders. 1t
includes among its members Senators
Logan, Frye, Sabin and Cameron. The
Congressional Committee is composed en-
tirely of officeholders, with Senator Haw-
ley as its Chairman. The Clerk Of the
Congressional Com.@ittee is Mr.. McPher-
son, Clerk Of the last House. A day or
two ago Mr.. Mcpherson. preparatory to
beginning the active work Of the cam
paign, glanced over the civil service law.
What was his surprise to find that neither
committee could receive a voluntary
contribution of a dollar, or of any other
amount from any Officeh0lder, or from any
person receiving compensation from the
Treasury Of the United States, without
rendering the Oficeholders of the commit
tees liable to a fine of s., 600 each and i'm
prisonment. Mr.. Mcpherson was aston
ished. This part Of the law had entirely
escaped his memory. He hastily called a
meeting of the members Of the two COM
-mittees, and when their attention was
called to the law they also were greatly
astonshed. In fact, some of the Senators
and Representatives were greatly
alarmed. They were anxious to know if
Mr.. Mcpherson had received any con-
tributiOns from Federal officeholders.
A vivid picture Of themselves in striped
clothes, moving towards the penitentiary,
with Gen. Joseph Hawley at their head,
presented itself to their startled magma
tiOns. A short consultation convinced
all of them that if the committees eX-
pected to get voluntary contributions
from those in any way receiving money
for services from the Treasury the office
/ holders Of the committees would have to
resign. In fact, close reading of the
| law left the impression that Sabin,
Chandler, Hawley and the other office
| holders of the committees could not make
contributions without making themselves
| liable to prosecution. When the Repub-
licans voted for the civil service act they
did not realize how completely they were
cutting off their sources of campaign am
munitiOn.

HISTORIC HOT SUMMERS.
Years When Europe Has Sweltered
and Sweatcd Most.

Paris Nineteenth Century,
In 627 the heat was SO great In France
and Germany that all springs dried up;
water became so scarce that many people
died Of thirst. In $40 work in tho fields
had to be given up; agricultural lsborers
persisting in their work were struck
down in few minutes, SO powerful was
the sun. In 993 the suns rays were SO
fierce that vegetation burned up as under
the action of fire. In 1000 rivers run dry
under the protracted heat, the fish were
left dry in heaps and purified in few
hours. The stencil that ensued produced
tho plague. Men and animals venturing
in the sun in the summer Of 1929 fell
down dying, the throat parched to o
finder and tho blood rushing TO the brain.
In 1132 not only did the rivers dry up.
but the ground cracked on every side and
became baked to the hardness of stone.
The Rhine in Alsace nearly dried up. It.
ally was visited with terrific heat in
1885, vegetation and plants were burned
up. During the battle of Bella in 1860
there were moro victims made by the sun
than by weapons; men fell down sun
struck in regular rows. The summer of
1877 was also severe; there was an abso-
Lutte dearth of forage. In 1903 and 1904
the Rhine, Loire, and Seine ran dry. In
1915. the heat throughout Europe became
excessive. Scotland suffered particularly
in 1925; men and beasts died in scores.
The heat in several departments during
the summer of 1705 was equal to that in
glass furnace. Meat could DO cooked by
merely exposing it to the sun. Not soul
dared venture out between noon and A
p. m.
In 171s many shops had to close. and
theaters never opened their doors for
several months. Not drop of water fe II
during six months. In 1853 the Their
mometer rose to 115o. In 1779 the heat
at Bologna was SO great that great num-
Der of people were stifed. There was not
sufficient air for the breath, and people
had to take refuge under ground. In
July, 1893, the heat became intolerable.
Vegetables were burned up aud fruit
dried upon the trees. The furniture
and woodwork in dwelling houses
cracked and split up; meat went bad
in an hour. The rivers ran dry
in several provinces during 1911 |;
expedients had to BIO devised for the
grinding of corn. In 1929 protracted
heat was accompanied by storm and
earthquakes; during the drought legions
of mice overran Lorraine and Alsace, COM
hitting incalculable damage. In 1882 the
heat brought about cholera in France;
10000 persons fell victims to the vista
tion in Paris alone. In 1916 the thermo-
meter marked 1875 degrees in the sun.
Finally. the summers of 1859, 1861 1869,
1870 1874, &c although excessively hot,
were not attended by any disaster.

TOM BLINKER'S SECRET.

Tom Blinker was a jovial, light-heart.
sed, commercial ''gent, who after tray
cling some years for London firm, had
started in business as a commission
agent in Chichester. Unfortunately he
failed or at least he did not succeed,
which is nearly as bad-and at the date
of this story, he was pretty heavily in
debt. But his creditors were disposed
to deal leniently with him, partly be-
cause ne was known to be in the main
honest, and partly because he had init
mated that when Lord Montarlington
returned he would soon be in condi-
ton to discharge his liabilities. Lord
-Montarlington had large estate in the
neighborhood, and was naturally very
much respected and looked up to in. the
town. He had been absent from
England three years on a foreign tour,
and Tom Blinker had not come to Bill
chester till shortly after his lordship
had started on his travels. Toms an
nouncement, therefore. caused a great
deal Of surprise and speculation, and
more especially as he always referred
to Lord Montarlington in very guard
ed terms, and never dropped the Slight
est hint as to the nature of his acquaint-
ance. This mysterious reticence had
much more effect upon the public mind
than if Tom had entered into details,
and if some persons were skeptical
enough to doubt whether Tom had ever
set eyes upon his Lordship in his life, it
was generally believed that for some
reason or other Lord MontarIinpton
would relieve him from his difficulties.
But his lordship's return was so long
delayed that Toms creditors began to
grow impatient, and Tom himself
seemed to lose heart. There was no
Disgusting the fact that he had reached
the end Of his tether, and nothing short
of miracle could avert bankruptcy and
ruin. Duly impressed with this I'M
pleasant fact, and also bearing in mind
shat two or three of his largest creditors
had threatened to take proceedings
against him Immediately, Tom wendell
his way to the Blue Boar one evening in
= very depressed condition. On reach
ing the parlor of that ancient thostelry,
where q conyivial club, of which he was
q prominent member, was wont to hold
its weekly meetings, he was surprised
at being greeted with chorus Of con-
grattllations and good wishes.
