THE COLD WAVE.

A cold wave has visited large portion
of the State and coast. 1t is phenomena
and indicates nothing of normal climatic
conditions. 1t occurs at time when it
can do no damage whatever. On the con-
trary it will benefit the country. OF course
we must expect those who are seeking to
damage the climatic reputation of this sec
ton of the coast, TO make the most of the
cold wave. But among intelligent people
they will accomplish nothing Meteorological
surprises attach to all climates, and intel
ligent people realizing this, will not base
Judgments upon them. Really we have
not had excessive cold. Thin crusts of
ice have here and there formed, there was
furry of snow, and sharp frosts have
made the ground sparkle, but there has
been no such cold as by the Eastern man
would be considered worth the mention.
So far as the cold we have thus far had

will benefit them. As the San Francisco
Call says:
These touches of winter perform benefcent
work. They make all fruits of an acid or sub
acid nature much better. 1t has been fire.
quently said that the degree OF cold in this
State is not sufficient to bring the apple and
some other fruits to perfection.
The snow that fell a few years ago in Southern
California was sufficient in some places to en-

was not harmed thereby.
The frost mantle may not deal gently with
swelling rosebuds, with poisoning callas which
greeted Christmas, nor with heliotrope and ion
qulls, nor with the last of the chrysanthemums
although the latter is essentially a wI1ner
flower which is finding special favor lust now
because it is the fashion. The yiolets too give
out no perfume when the frost crystals laid
upon them sparkle in the morning light. But
one gentle rain sets them all right again. The

Perhaps SO, from strictly economic
viewpoint. though of that am not
sure. ! am willing to grant that there
is no return in hard money for these
enormous outlays, if admitting this
will give our utilitarian friends any
satisfaction. But it is useless TO at
tempt to strike a money balance in
these matters. There is a.value in the
massive mountain that no book of
real-estate valuation can recognize.
There is value in the mighty catar-
ract that has nothing to do with
watcr-power. So there is q value in
the cathedral spire that is not COM
putable in coin. A spiritual value in.
herent in the sublimely beautiful. !
pass St: Patrick's every day, and there
is always some one gazing up at those
towers that take the thoughts as well
as the eyes away from the rattling
pavement, and hundreds, yes thou
sands, owe to those "uscless" towers
some moments of self-forgetfulness
and some moments of that conscious
spiritual uplifting, which is, in pro-
portion to its power, mount of trans
fguration. The most beautiful church
ever saw-or ever expect.to see, un-
til worship in the "house not made
with hands us not a full-grown
church; it is only chapel-a small,
low building, put up at an expense Of
about a thousand dollars. 1t is beauti.

had a right to claim winters res,
after the busy harvest season; because
each timber of the framework repre-.
sents hours of toll in making aprons
and holders, by the sale of which to
raise few dollars-hours needed for
rest of some mothers weary head and
tired hands; because every clapboard
tells of pipeful of tobacco less fol
the father; every shingle, a cup Of tea
less for the mother and the daughter;
and every nail, stick OF candy less
for the child. 1t is beautiful in con-
tanning an organ, while there are no
organs in the homes of the givcrs; in
having pictures OH its walls, though
theirs are blank; in its carpeted isles,
while the floors of the donors are bare.

SIGNING a petition signifies nothing.
When it comes to voting, each taxpayer
will say to himself "Wade wanted iail

paid for. Wade never said anything at
that time about removing the county seat
He was great champion of Willlamsport
then. What has changed his views? Is
he honest in the change? Are not the
conditions the same as before? Williams
port is on the same section it has always
been. So is Winchester. Every sensible
man knows that the permanent county
seat must be at railroad point. Sup
pose we remove the county seat to Win
chester and spend four OF five thousand
dollars on another Jail. What assurance
have that Winchester will retain the
seat of governments Suppose railroad
should be built and locate its own town
up Beaver Greek IN the exact center of
the county. Or suppose that railroad
should cross the river. Isn't it likely that
the big city of the county would be at
such crossing? Would the county seat
then remain at Winchester In the mean
time another jail has been built at Win
chester at the expense oMahe already
overburdened taxpayers, aid the one ut
Wllliamsport deserted. Then, when the
county seat is put at its permanent place
on railroad, the building at Winchester
must be sacrificed. And all this cost to
the taxpayers simply that Wade, Parker
and Bumstead may, in the excitement of Al
little boom, unload their property at
Winchester. True, Winchester may get
a railroad. All right. If so, the county
seat can then be put there. Bit why this
haste? Was there any general public de-
mand for another county seat fight this
fall. Did anybody talk about it until the
conspirators started out, with misrepre-
sentation and ex-pnrte statements, to STIR
