HY MOTT

New-York has responded literally to the APP
neal made to her practical sympathy by sorch-
stricken Charleston. The great commcrclai
b,d;es leading business firms and private In
dividuals have already made generous contrbu-
tions for the immediate relief Of the serious and
widespread distress occasoned by the earth
quake. In addition. number OF committees
have been appointed to swell the subscription
lists.
OF course this was only what was to be ex-
pected. The rich and prosperous metropolis
freely receives from innumerable sources and out
Of her abundance she is accustomed freely 10
give to her sister cities whenever by reason OIL
the heavy dispensations Of Providence they find
,he;r own resources overtaxed. 1t is certain
that she will meet all the calls that may be
made upon her bounty at this time with cheer
ful alacrity. But it has been suggested that
she should render Charleston more important
service in this emergency that from this time
charleston should be succored not only with
gifts, but with loan that would enable the
wheels of business to revolve as industriously
as they did before the earthquake. In some
quarters it has been urged that the National
Government might with propriety be requested
TO make such a loan. But the proposition IS
more philanthropic than feasible. seeing that
there are insurmountable objections in the way.
No such difficulties would beset the path OF
Ncw-YoiIx capitalists who might decide to make
the necessary advances. And they could secure
themselves as did the capitalists who came
10 the rescue of ruined Chicago merchants in
1871-1S72.
A great deal of money finds Its way from
Charleston to New York. Upon no other North
crn city does she bestow as large share OF her
patronage. Would it not be becoming, there
fore, for the metropolis to give her lift that
would enable her to fight her way out of her
present grievous misfortune

FEW REMARKS ON THE WEATHEI

a fEW hEMARhS ON IHE VEd1 HID
For number of years some Of the hottest
weather of the season has come in September.
Close observers are fond of asserting that those
who are wise in their generation will choose
rather to escape from the city the first two
weeks of September than the last two weeks
of August August used to figure in the cal
endar as a hot month, sultry month. 1t Is
fast losing that reputation. This year, for
example, as a whole it was highly satisfactory
warm, but not too warm and Astounding In re-
frcshing breezes. Indeed the entire summer
of 1885 was one Of the most agreeable in the
long line. The days when the grasshopper
was a burden were remarkably few. The stay
at-home club found life well worth living. nor
cnved their fellows who were out OF town.
So much for the past-t at least is secure.
And according to Mr.. Calthrop, who is accus-
toned to furnish weather probabilities for

tions of the South unless one swcars by the

MORE "SCIENCE" THAN KNOWLEDGE

A dispatch from Charleston says that the
unfortunate people Of that stricken city care
so terrified by the shocks, and confused by the
statements and predictions of The scientists. that
hey are in despair" AS to the shocks, nothing
can be done; but as to the scientists, more
rcticent policy might be respectfully suggested.
The contradictions in which these learned gen.
tlemen find themselves involved through the
hasty publication of undigested views and hap
hazard predictions are no doubt in part attrib-
utable to the eagerness Of the public, and OF the
journals that supply the public, for news, and
especially for explanations But when 1t Is
seen that Major Powell dlsagrees with Professor
Newcomb that Professor Dawson holds with
neither, that Professor Mcndenhal and Professor
McGee, though at the scene Of action, are not In
accord yet that nearly every one Of these
authorities seems to think all theories but his
own "absurd = or "prcposerous y; no surprise
can be felt at the despair" of the poor
Charlestonians, who find neither comfort nor
wisdom in this multitude of councillors.
The tendency to dogmatiZe upon insufficient
data must be very strong, Judging from recent
events and uttcrances. Even so delicate and
prccarious a question as whether or not more
shocks might be expected has not deferred our
scientists from positive Outgivlngs. Professor
Mcndenhall predicted that there would be no
shocks, and his prophecy-such is the irony of
fate-was printed side by side with the intelli-
gcnce of a fresh CONFUSION. Professor New
comb, after waiting until apparently all danger
Of tidal wave had passed, frightened Charles
ton back into agony by sending out warning
against the sea- Nor does the personal action
of the scientists on the ground tend TO promote
confidence, for we are told that one visiting
professor, after expressing his firm belief that
there would be no more shocks, event to sleep
on Sullivan's Island.' 1t really does seem that
if these savants were TO withhold judgment
until they had gathered full crop of observa-
tions, and in the meantime summoned courage
10 tell nqurers that they did not know enough
about the matter to give an opinion, the author
ty of their final conclusions would be consd-
crably greater, while the people of Charleston
would be much better able to recover their
nerve-tone. For the present excess of available
"science' over actual knowledge in regard to
earthquakes is becoming painfully conspicuous.

NONPARTlSAN TEMPERANCE WORl

NON-PARIISAN IL mr. EhdNCH VOhh'
The temperance cause is making Roadway IN
Massachusetts,. A call signed by such well-known
men "a ex Governor William Clafin, the Rev. DR..
Daniel Dorchester. b. X. Pierce. Editor OF IONS
Herald II. H. Faxon and dozen Others. has been
issued for mass-meetng to be held in Worcester
ON the 10th of this MONTH the object OF the move
ment being to secure better enforcement of the
laws against the liquor saloons" and ito obtain
legal provisions for the entire suppression OF the
traffic in alcoholic liquors beverages" Although
Repubhcans. as ever, are leading this crusade
against rum Governor Robinson being expected to
speak at Worcester. the movement is non-partisan
in character, Democrats as we'll as Republicans
being urged to take up the cause and to keep it in
dependent of party lines. The views of two of the
leaders in the movement on this point as given IN
the Boston correspondence of The Springfield Repab-
licdn are of interest:
The Rev. DR.. Daniel Dorchester, who lives now In
Chelsea and the most thorough statstican In the
State temperance, Is strongly opposed TO the Ihiru
party OF the ProhlDltiOni-t5 he loves the
prohibory better than he does The Republican
party he told to-day, but he VIII FEVER go out OF
the Republican party to become Third party Pro-
hbitionis tie believes that the OF temperance Is
greatly injured by this form OF political activity,
what he would like would be to see the cause carried
Faxon, OF Quincy, Ia another prOibitOry Republican
who does not propose to leave the pa ty.
The end sought by these Massachusetts, temper
ance men is to persuade the Legislature to submit
to the people an amendment to the Constitution in
favor of prohibition. The State now has local
option law, and under 1T many of the towns have
shut up their rum shops But the evil fourishes
in the large towns and cities, and it is the liquor
traffic in these places that tns partisan move
ment is expected to reach.
