The following is the reply Of L. A.
Martinez, editor Of The Louisiana Pro-
gress, to the Springfield Qll.) Repub-
lican, which paper commented reproach-
fully upon the Progress support of the
Democratic party:
"When the property holders, bound
down by diabolical election law, could
no longer stand the system of Robbery
universally prevailing i'll the South un-
der the form of constituted authority
during tue Republican regime, is it
strange that they Iesorted to extra le
gal remedies to protect themselves aud
property When goaded to madness,
as it we've, by repeated and continual
ly accommodating acts Of spoIiation by an
alien tribe, the carpet baggers, without
legal remedy at hand, is it any wonder
that they lesorted even to mob violence
to obtain relief 7 When such state of
affairs exists excuses are commlt,od for
which no one can be held responsible,
but which all regret afterwards. When
a student in this city in 1874, the editor
of this paper passed through Feliciana on
his way TO take change OF a Summer
school in Wilkinson county, Miss, and
stopped day in Bayou Sara. The first
thing that attracted his attention were
signs nailed against trees advertising
parish warrants for sale at ten or fifteen
cents on the dollar. He was very
young and an ardent Republican-a
bitter radical. But this was a levela-
ton. In mute so!IliloQuy he wondered
how long the taxpayers would submit
to be robbed of their substance in this
shameless aud wholesale manner. The
retribntion came. It was awful. The
reGl guilty parties alone may not have
suffered. An aveGsing crowd is not
very discriminating and the white
scamps who protited by this system of
spoliation, knowing the enormity of
their acts, watched the signs of the
times and carefully weighed the temper
of the people they robbed and OPP
pressed. As soon as they perceived
the storm about to break they decamped.
Their colored dupes suffered for them"

CAUSE OF THE COLD SNAP.
An Arctic Wave on Two CONT
nents--Hot Weather in Prospect.

An Arctic Wave on Two CONT
nents--Hot Weather in Prospect.
New York Herald.
Nothing in the way of meteorological
mystery can be more startling than the
movement of great Arctic air wave
reported yesterday from both sides of
the North Atlantic. In the British ISL
ands snow fell Wednesday as far south
as London, the first, it is said, ever re-
corded there in July; while the peaks
of SkiddaW and other mountains were
white with snow. Our special telegram
from Bethlehem, n. III. states that
the summit of Mount Washington
was covered yesterday with nearly five
inches of snow and the mercury fell s
deg. below freezing the lowest record it
has ever made in July, during the hurri-
cane blowing about ninety miles an
hour. The weather telegram from st.
Johns, N. F., shows that the thermo-
meter fell there "Wednesday night to
45 deg. Fahrenheit. The almost Simulta-
neous surge of the "cold wave" on the
western coasts of Europe and the east
ern coasts of America seem to indicate
a general souther.y outflow of air from
the Arctic ocean sufficient to make it
self felt in the temperate zone of both
continents.
How to explain so vast movement of
cold air from the Arctic area in mid
summer, and what the phenomenon
fOreShadowS, are among the profound
problems which modern science has not
yet attacked. The most probable solu-
ton is that cold air over the icy waters
around Labrador, Greenland and Spitz-
bergen is set in motion to the south
eastward by an indraught from the
heated interior of the continents, espe-
cially Europe and Asia, in which the
barometric pressure is now lower than
it is near the Arctic Circle. The barom-
eter III July has a very low average
(about 1890 inches or leSS) over
the heart of the Old World,
while from Nova Zembla to Ice
land and Southwestern Greenland the
pressure averages about 20 of an inch
higher. Consequently a cold Arctic
current not infrequently sets in from
Iceland toward the Baltic at this period.
In 1867, from July Is to Aug. l, this was
the temperature stood 10 deg. below the
average, and in some places did not once
rise above 81. thus almost running the
wheat and barley crops. So July 16,
1888, in Great Britain the mercury fell
at some points to 43 deg. The greater
the suns intensity in the interior of the
continent the greater will be the reduc-
tian of the atmospheric pressure, and
also the indraught of frosty air from
the frozen ocean.
1t is not likely, therefore, that the
present cold movement portends an
early and sudden collapse of summer.
On the contrary, it is sign that the
hottest part of the season is yet to come
in both Europe and America. Now that
the polar basin has discharged so much
of its cold air into our ATTITUDES, we
may expect that the season will be less
disturbed by sudden thermal changes,
and that the prospects of good harvests
will brighten: While the Western ':hot
has been partly dissipated and its adj
vance checked by the ''cold wave," we
may look for an early renewal of the
summers feryOr.

cry little thing is not so thoroughly
talked over and disputed about; besides,
it engenders neatness. When two are
in room, and everything is not kept
in order, it is SO easy to say it is the
others fault. 1t is useless to expect
servants to keep neat and orderly
room if, as in very many cases, they are
not regarded as human beings and
there are no arrangements made for
heating it. Our climate is too rigorous
in winter for such treatment, and one
cannot be blamed for getting out of a
cold room as soon as possible regardless
of whether or not it is neatly left.

erly by Mrs. A. ID. T. Whitney in her
stories for girls than in any other way,

Hapsburg Castle to Go.

LONDON WOrlQ.
The conscript fathers of the little
town of Brugg, in the canton of
Aargau, Switzerland, have Just re-
ceived strange request. Prof. Kobany.
of Vienna, at the instance of number
of wealthy Austrian loyalists, has writ
ten to ask them at what price they will
sell the ruins of the castle of Hapsburg,
the ancient seat of the founder of the
imperial house of Austria. The castle
is the property of the commune of
Brugg. Times are so bad, says a local
paper, that the commune is inclined to
make a profit out of the venerable mon
ument of the old tyrants of Switzerland,
if a respectable sum can be obtained for
it. 1t appears, however, that the town
of Brugg is not competent to part with
the Hapsburg schloss unless the cam
tonal government of Aargau gives its
permission. So the professor has been
referred to the authorities of the canton.
