TIME FOR A HALT.

A press telegram published yesterday,
dated Denver, COL, Aug. u, reads thus:
C.P. Judd, who was appointed by President
Cleveland on May IL last to be special agent
of the national labor bureau for Nevada and
the territories. was brought from Alamosa. Col,
on warrant charging him with horse stealing.
Judd drew up and signed statement to day
admitting his guilt, ald that he had served u
term in the prison at Leavenworth, Kan. and
two terms in ponitentiary in Colorado for
similar ofTenscs. Judd claims that his appi-
cation for government position was signed by
several well-known Democrats of Colorado, to
which his appointment is accredited.
When and where is this sort of thing
going to end? How much longer is the
country TO he shamed and disgraced by
the appointment Of notorious criminals
to Office? And how long are the
people expected TO tolerate the notion
that "a great reform" is in progress,
and that such appointments are legiti.
mate incidents Of "a fight against the
bad elements Of both parties?n
The Ohio cases of this character were
sufficient warning, and should have
been the last. The public mind was
wrought up to fair pitch of indignation
when the facts relating TO those appoint.
ments were made known. But the oc.
currences of the last few days are calcu.
lated to excite a suspicion that good
many embezzlers and thieves have been
reformed into Office since the exodus
Of Republicans began.
A notorious horse thief, with record
of several terms in the penitentiary, gets
an appointment for which scores of pre-.
sumably honest men were applicants,
and the only explanation vouchsafed is
that "the President was deceived" by
leading Democrats of Colorado.
Undoubtedly there was deception. No
ono doubts that the President would
have declined to appoint such man il
he had known his character. 1t is moi
questioned that the President regrets
these mistakes and is justly indignant at
the fraud practiced upon him. But re.
grets and indignation do not help the
matter.

CLIMATE AND THE COLOR or CLOTHING.
EDITon NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,. The
New Orleans Medical and Surgical
Journal recently published an article
from DIR. Thomas Herbert, in which
that gentleman points out what he be.
lieves to be serious popular iallaoy CON
cerning summer wearing apparel. The
inference that persons should wear white
cloth in summer because 1t absorbs less
and reflects more, and dark cloth In
winter for the opposite reasons, he says
is an error which has grown into per.
nicious habit Scientific writers are not
always correct in their theories or state.
ments. Why should DR.. Herbert have
been the one to make such an important
discovery in dress after the lapse of so
many centuries. Linen and cotton
fabrics were the materials used by the
Egyptians, the Chinese, and East In.
dians from the earliest records of his
tory down to the present time. The
cotton plant only grows in warm eli.
mate; It is indigenous to India, China,
Egypt, and the warm latitude in America.
Flax was known TO the ancients 30 far
back that where FIRST discovered is lost
in tradition.
1t would seem strange that during the
thousands of years that have passed the
natives ofIndia, the Arabs OF the desert,
the sun.baked Africans, and Mongolians
should so persstently have used white
linen and cotton clothing, and that where
they departed from white the colors were
always light or bright shades, never
black.
Persia, where the brightest and most
endu.ing colors in fabrics are made, fuses
the long hair of the Cashmere goat aud
the hair of the camel; neither is WOO
nor has the same heat-retaining power
as wool.
He asks who ever saw u black polaI
bear, as if that clinched his argument
Does the doctor not know that il is one
of the wise provisions of the Creator o
all things that the colors of the beasts o
the fields aud the plumage Of the birds
should harmonize and correspond will
the colors and shades of nature in thei
haunts, both for their protection and
pursuit of their prey2 Would not ;

brightest plumaged birds found in thC

The lemon, the orange, the lime, tn
