THE SENATORIAL WAR.
Senator Sabln not Opposed to the
CauouslPlan.

From Mondays st. Paul Globe.l
Last week might properly be termed
the initial battle. week Of the grand old
party" in the struggle for the senatorial
plum. The cohorts of the leading can
didates, Sabin and Washburn. were on
hand in force, and the Great Cryptic
gram. in. the person of Mr.. Donnelly,
was also a CONSPICUOUS figure in the Mer-
chants lobby. In fact, Donnellv ex-
presses his willingness to quiet any dis
turbance by offering himself as COM
promise candidate. In the absence OF
Eric Olson it was impossible to deter
mine the plan of the Cryptogram cam
paign, but it is certainly Washburn,
and probably rests on bacon for its
foundation corner. Senator Sabin's
presence seems to have inspiring effect
on his branch of the party. The Gtob'
plenipotentiary met him just before he
left for Washington Saturday night, and
the senator seemed as CHEEKY as the
"fowers that boom in the spring" pro-
badly because he hopes to bloom for his
second term about that time. He ex-
pressed himselfas very confident Of sue
cess, and when quizzed trifle about the
fusilade of the Washburn "organs" said
he could account for some OF it on nat
ural principles. "For instance" SAID
the senator, drawing slip of paper
from his pocket and handing it tc the
Globe, "a friend sends me this clipping
from the Spring Valley Vidette, a paper
down in Fillmore county," And this is
the way it read:
Davis and washburn Two grand men!
Won't they shine in the United States senate
Let Fillmore county lead the Washburn col
umn in Its grand march to victory!
"That paper is edited" said the sena-
tor, "by man named VanLeuven. He
wrote me recently, piedging the five
votes from Fillmore county and asking
me to send him some money. OF course
l paid no attention to his letter, but he
has apparently written other letters
which were more successful, and he now
Mitchell, of the Duluth Tribune, is an
other case of practical conversion" and
l see his utterances are being quoted
against me. But am content with the
cordial and unbought support / am re-
ceiving, and do not believe opinion or
advice to the members of the legislature
otherwise secured has any weight"
''Do you anticipate going into caucus
to settle the question:"
Certainly am favorable to the eau
Gus. An open roll callin the legislature
without the preliminary caucus machin-
cry has its advantages, and is unfair to
no one. But am not particular on this
point, and have no anxiety either way"

A CORRESPONDENT says it is still an
open question at Washington what will
be done with the direct tax bill, over
which the famous filibustering occurred
last spring. TheRepublican members will
await action by the committee on rules
before taking any steps to call it up, but
it is probable they will have to take the
the initiative. 1t is learned from Speak.
er Carlisle that he considers the situa.
ton the same as it was at the close o.
the session in October, which mean:
that the committee on rules will take nc
action. 1t is the expectation that the
Democrats will maintain the same posi-
ton they held at the first session upon
this bill.

| Immediately bordering ON the Great Lakes'
That part of New England which Lieuten-
| ant Greedy does not include is that part OF
| Northern M9ine north of diagonal line
running from Eastport northwesterly across
the State. Moosehead Lake is probably just
within The "eomfortable region But the
people of Aroostook will not be pleased if
they have any ambition To harbor summer
visitors to learn that they are literally out in
the cold. But nearly all that part Of Maine
that is now available for summer resorts or
is likely TO be for years. is within the "com-
Portable region" Besides temperature there
are three other considerations: the amount
OF eloudiness and of rain ami the humidity
Of the atmosphere On the question of cloud
mess New England is the most favored por-
ton of the comfortable region" Rain may
be expected in New England at least every
third day during July, but during August
not over two days per week. But more I'M
portant even than the variations Of sunshine
and rain Is the humidity II the atmosphere,
since Ia this one axe interested that great Dody
| of people who are worn out with consump-
| ton, asthma, malaria and kindred complaints.

| midty by determining the weight OF yapor
| In grains of cubic foot OF air as deduced by
| three years observations of the Signal Ser
| vice. Five and half grains of aqueous va
por to cubic foot Lieutenant Greedy con-
siders the maximum amount which should
be found in dry summer climate. Within
the comfortable region" the belt of country
which on the seaboard makes the coast OF
hat ~
the New England coast and in the belt ex-
tending westward from it is of slightly in
creased humidity until in Connecticut the
amount of vapor reaches six grains to the
cubic foot As regards see bathing Lieuten-
ant Greedy assumes $50 to be comfortable
temperature for the water. This leaves
most of the beaches of New England in the
uncomfortable class, for from Block Island
to Nantucket the mean temperature of the
sea averages $50 only for a few days in Au-
gust, and to the northward of Cape Cod it is
only ON rare occasions aud in favored spots
that the temperature ever rises above $50. To
the eastward of Portland the temperature of
the ocean rarely reaches the sixties, and in
the extreme eastern part of Maine never.
But bathing is nevertheless a popular
amusement of summer visitors along the
Maine coast. perhaps because in favored
places like Old Orchard, the stretches Of
sand take off the chill that operates SO disad-
vantageously on the Thermometers of the
Signal Service. But with few exceptions,
the scientific facts gathered by the Signal
Service and arranged by Lieutenant Greedy,
enforce the conclusion of the thousands of
tourist who have been to this State, that

In the first year of the war of the rebellion
the government undertook to raise money by
leyying a direct tax upon the States. The
law provided that each year tax Of $4,000,
600 should be levied upon the real estate
of the country 1t existed year and was
then repealed. Twenty-nine States paid
their quota under the law and the re-
mainder for the most part paid moth
ing The delinquents were Alabama, Ar
kansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mlssis-
sippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Texas and Virginia. The tax stands
upon the books of the government to-day as
a debt against these States. The direct tax
bill which the House has been filibustering
over for week proposes to cancel this debt
against these States and return to the States
tina. paid their quota the sums which they
paid. The bill would take $17.00o,o00 out of
the treasury and distribute 1t among twenty
nine States 1t is perfectly fair and just
measure The principal opposition comes
from representatives Of States that never
paid anything and from few tariff re-
formers who argue as the measure would
reduce the surplus by S17.0o0,O0O it would
reduce their opportunities to cut down the
tariff. The Senate has already passed the
bill with but few dissenting votes, and if
1t can ever be brought to vote In the House
that body will also pass it. But the opposi-
ton is determined to stave off action If posi-
BILE, and 1t is numerous enough evidently to
interpose some very serious trigs.

Maine, tn Q Vacation State.

Lieut.. A. w. Greedy, the distinguished ex-
plorer, now Chief Signal Officer, has in
Scribner's for April. an interesting study of
the climatic conditions of the principal sum-
mer resort regions OF the eastern portion of
the United States. OF the summer resorts
OF the Pacific coast Lieutenant Greedy does
not think 1t worth while to make a study,
because their remoteness from the great CEN
tres Of population precludes the possibility
OF their serving as resorts to any but those
who reside west of the Rocky Mountains. To
the Atlantic coast and the Great Lakes
must come those who dwell In the most pop
ulous part of the nation. Lieutenant Gree
ly divides tourists into three classes the
rich and fashionable who can 60 anywhere
they please and are generally attracted more
by the society of a resort than by its scenery
or climate; the lelsurely class who seek for
comfort and quiet pleasure rather than gale
ty, the yaclksmen, hunters and fishermen of
leisure; and third. the greatest and the poor
est class. composed of those who are COM
PEELED TO seek each year in brief va
cations new scenes and new climate. 1t is
for this class mainly that Lieutenant Greedy
has made his study of the climatic condi-
lions Of our summer resorts. That the ideal
resort exists anywhere he treats as a myth
All have their inconvenience and unsuita-
BILE features. In all the United States there
is but one delectable region of which it can
be said that the temperature never reaches
the eighties, that the sky is always clear, the
breezes always balmy and the nights never
hot. That is the bit Of country about forty
miles square in which Is San Diego, Cal. The
second favored spot In Lieutenant Greely's
opinion, is, strangely enough, Eastport, Me-,
where the prevailing summer winds are from
the South, which makes the weather delight
full Eastport. however, occasionally has a
northerly wind which makes 1t uncomforta-
bly, cool for the time. The relative amount
Of heat, cold and moisture are the conditions
In which the great mass OF seekers for a
place of rest are concerned. As regards the
heat Lieutenant Greedy classes as in the
comfortable region" those places that have
normally, for less than ninety consecutive
days, daily mean temperature above 6S0.
Measured along the Atlantic coast the ''com-
Portable region" begins ON the Connecticut
coast near the mouth of the Hudson, where
the mean temperature is above $50 for the
whole ninety days, and extends along the
coast to Portland, where 1t is above $50 for
two months, 10 the region about the mouth
Of the Penobscot where the time shrinks to
one month and on to Eastport where the
mean of So is attained only for brief peri
cd each year. In the interior the ''com-
Portable" region includes the greater part of
New England. New York and the States

The Augusta correspondent of the Boston
Globe says that the Hon. W. Fl. Clifford is
seriously talked of by the Democrats for
candidate for Governor. The correspondent
says he is .'young, rich, talented and pos
sessed Of political sagacity unequalled by any
man in the State" He is willing. also, &C
cordIng to this correspondent, ito make any
sacrifice for the good Of his party" and too
patriotic" to refuse nomination for the gov
ernorship. We don't know the exact amount
of Mr. Clifford's iagacity, but he has enough
to 60 In when 1t rains, and 1t is going TO
rain this year. Therefore we are inclined
to think that appeals to Mr.. Clifford's patriot
ism to induce him to accept the Democratic
candidacy for the goyernorship will be in
vain-unless that candidacy should be un-
derstood tn carry with 1t the right to boss the
Maine Democracy in case Of Cleveland's re
election.

The commercial union debate iu the Do

Richard Cartwright's motion looking to more
intimate commercial relations with the Uni

two to one. This would seem to show that

than has been supposed. for the government
majority is much smaller than this majority
