ORR GJORIOUS CLIMATE

The people OF New-York do not sufficiently appre-
ciate their privileges IN the matter OF weather. They
are apt to grumble at the summer heat and at the
winter cold IN IN unthankful manner though it is
susceptible of proof that they noy larger variety
of weather and get il more thoroughly mixed than
anywhere else In the world. The people OF CAL
llornia have for many years challenged the disgust
and irritation OF New-Enganders by their boastful
talk about the number of distinct and separate
climates embraced within tho boundaries OF their
State and they are never tired of saying that one
can there pass In few hours from.the torrdity of
the Sacramento Valley to the bracing GOODNESS and
eternal SHOWS OF the Sierra Nevada. But hat is
the actual faci II is that though by travel on tie
railroad climates may be changed with considerable
facility on che Pacific Slope, those who dwell In one
place are subjected TO q monotonous uniformity Of
temperature.
No Californian can boast Of such luxurious
changes AS have been experienced here during the
past forty-eight hours. Un Monday we were all

RtpUBLICANISM N NEW.YORK.

The call for the State Convention finds the
Republicans of New York fully prepared to re-
spond. Their representatives will assemble III
Saratoga next month confident that the ticket
they nominate is the ticket that is bound to win
| in November. And certainly our political
| friends lave good reasons for their hopeful
ness. The spirit of factonalsm which once
proved so disastrous to party prospects has dis
appeared. To-day finds the party thoroughly
united. The terms @Stalwartn and Half
Breed" which In the near past told OF dissen-
sion and divided counsels have been dropped
by common consent and the return of unity
has been attended by an increase of energy and
enthusiasm all along the line. This is one
reason why the Republicans expect to fight a
winning campaign-they are united this year
| and are in dead earnest.
Another reason is drawn from the character
of Republican administration in this State.
We are far from affirming that it has been as
| good as it might be. But we do affirm that ii
has been immcasurably better than Democratic
administration. 1t Is only necessary to ex-
| anime the public records kept in the Con-
lrollers Office at Albany TO become convinced
by the upassalable logic of official figures that
Republican management OF the public affairs OF
| this great commonwealth has been economical.
and that Democratic management of the same
trust has been extravagant Taxes have gone
up with Democratic success and down with Re-
publican success. More than this, all the great
public measures of the last twenty years which
have resulted in marked and abiding advantage
| to the State have originated with the Republic
| cans. They arc to be credited with the amend
ment to the Constitution improving our canal
system. They are TO be credited with the
amendment to the Constitution improving our
| prison system. They are to be credited with
the passage of the law taxing corporations,
which has placed and which annually is to
place hundreds Of thousands of dollars in the
| State Treasury.
party earnest and united with such a record
| will not shrink from a trial of conclusions with
the Democracy of New York led by Hubert o.
| Thompson. 1t only remains for the Republican
State Convention to make the best use of its
opportunities to render the assurance of victory
doubly snre. To that end let every county see
to it that it is represented in the convention by
| its wisest and best men.

intoxicati0n tends to weaken and disappear. VI
course those who fix their attention wholly
upon the condition Of the Door will find there
much to deplore. But they should remember that
a lew generations back the vices which are now
found associated with squalor and poverty were
also the vices of the afflnent and the well-to-
do, and that much has been gained in attaining
q stage of progress at which some classes, and
these the most vigorous and rapidly growing
ones, have risen above the influence OF this
debasing temptation. AS to those who remain
thralls to it, patience and time must probably
be the main reliance of their friends aud
helpers Men made sober by compulsion are
seldom really cured, and when large percent
ages of community demand drink, experience
shows that they will have it, law OF no law.
No doubS this is sad, and it does, as Mrs.
Thompson says, render necessary the mainte-
nance of IN extensive system OF charitable instl-
tutions. But here again distinct gain is ap-
parent, in the willingness of the body polite to
undertake these charges and responsibilities.
Formerly the sense of public duty would not have
sustained such system. Now 1t is regarded as
matter of course SO we have in evidence two
lines Of progress on the one hand, raising OF
the most energetic and vigorous elements OF
society above the habit of drinking; on the
other hand, a broadening of the community
sense of responsibility such as to allow OF
great increase of public charities, undertaken
as helps and compensations for the misfortunes
of circumstance and condition. There is con-
sequeuty no solid ground for discouragement
Progress is not so quick as we would have it,
probably The amount of misery and wrong
still caused by drink is yeiy great. The
selfshness and heartessncss of men render the
work of reform doubly difficult. But notwith-
standing all this. a dispassionate review OF the
situation dscloses cause for hope. On the
whole, temperance is gaining ground On the
whole, intemperance is being pushed back. The
work OF the devoted souls who have toiled so
faithfully is not without its tangible good
effects. And it should not be forgotten that
one of the consequences of an increasing sensi-
bility 10 the tendency to exaggerate the evil OF
the time, and to underestimate the changes for
the better which are taking place.

The action of the Republican State Commit

means, also, q short, sharp, aggressive canvass ;
but it allows time enough to let thorough work
be done. both in the cities and in the rural

in 1852. he soon came to be recognized rs one
of the most astute Of political leaders That
his popularity was commensurate with his
talents is attested by his reflections to Con-
gress and his subsequent elevation to the Offices
of Governor and United States Senator. A
stanch friend anu fervent admirer OF Mr..
Greeley. he labored earnestly for the success OF
tho Liberal movement of 1872. Like all
stron men. he inspired ardent friendships. pro-
yoked bitter enmities, and was himself faithful
and devoted in his likes and his dislkes. or
late wears, being in uncertain health, he has led
quiet life, participating but little in the scenes
which once knew him as such prominent and
forceful figure. One Of the founders OF the
Republican party and conservators OF its
prosperity, citizen who has well and faithfully
served his State. the Ex-Governor will be sim
cerely mourned and long houored.

Cold and hcartless taxpayers will await with
interest the estimates for expenses for 1886
which the Mayor has just asked from the mu-
nicipal departments. When Mr. Grace was
running for the Mayoralty last fall it was ar
gucd in his behalf that his election would mean
great economy in the city government, because
he would practically control the departments
under the new laws. To see this promise full
filed is one of the fond desires of taxpayers
with long memories and pockets that would be
longer if the taxes had not been so heavy. Up
to the present time, signs of municipal econ
omy have not been as plentiful as roses in
