SCIENTIFIC FERIPERAsIs.

The remarkable amount Of rainy weather
which took place during the past three
months has been subject of wonder to the
entire public. 1t is beyond question that
the majority would be glad to have this
phenomenal work of the elements explained;
and it is doubtless with view to satisfying
the public desire, that some of our eastern
cotemporaries have bent their mighty intel
lects to the task of solving the problem.
The most usual explanation is that of
general humidity" which is translated to
mean that there was great deal of moisture
in the atmosphere. This having been plain
to all who were much out of doors during
the rainy season, the New York Tribune
goes a step further and claims that the moist
ure was brought into the United States by
prevalence of breezes from the ocean, which
may do for New York City; but will hardly
answer for the region west of the Alleghe-
nies, which was rather the moister of the
two sections. The Tribune backs up its
theory with the declaration Of the fact "that
persistent deviations from the average eli
matte features of any part of our country
are attributable to notifications of the
proper seasonal distribution of air pres
sure
All this may 6e very true, but it leaves
the public not much further along than the
original state of knowledge. The rain was
in the clouds and it fell. The statement
may be made more obscure by scientific
terms; but that process does not bring us
much nearer to the original causes

DANGERS OF THE POTTERY TRUST.

A member of the city crockery trade
states, as a result of his observations in
England, that the English manufacturers
stand ready to supply the trade of this
country, if the proposed Pottery Trust
should succeed in advancing prices. That
would be an inevitable result of a combi-
nation which would enhance the cost Of
such products; and yet it is by no means
the most serious consequence that would
follow on artificial enlargements of the
margin of profits.
There is no monopoly of the business of
building potteries and no means of pre-
venting the construction of new ones. The
trade has grown rapidly under the attrac-
tions which was offered by competition.
How much more rapidly they would spring
up il combination should establish on
temporary enlargement of profits by the
suspension of competition, can hardly be
estimated. But we may be sure that the
proposed trust would be kept busy either in
buying up the new concerns that it would
stimulate into existence or in fighting them
to reduce them to its discipline.
simultaneously with this result would
come the restriction of consumption that
inevitably follows the advance of price and
the disposition of the public to find some
thing to take the place of the costly articles
Nothing is easier to find substitutes for than
pottery; and the fact that one trust has
already succeeded in stimulating the pro-
duction of rival product better and cheaper
than its own and thus running its own busi-
ness, should have weight with the pottery
manufacturers. Those who wish to main
tain their industry on a basis of sound and
permanent prosperity, should be sure that
no regulation is more productive of those re-
suits than that of natural competition.
But the trust may afford good frame
work for palming off on the public a lot of
bogus and paper values: and possibly the
trust projectors will be fully satisfied with
that result without regard to future COM
| plications.

DIVERSE VIEWS ON PUG1L1sM.

There is not that unanimity of opinion
about prize fighting and fighters as the ad-
mirers of the tistic art and sporting matters
generally desire, Those who have read the
voluminous accounts of the preparations for
the contest between John L. Sullivan and
Jake Kllrain, and those who have not, are
agreed on one point alone, namely, that the
two pugilists have received an amount of
attention that would hardly be given to any
two other human beings on this earth.
This effect is to be traced to only one
cause. The readers of the newspapers de-
sired the information. Not all the readers,
but very considerable number. They were
deeply interested in the events leading up
to the climax in the ring. Consequently
those events were reported minutely and
graphically.
The fact remains, however, that while q
large number OF men regard Sullivan and
Kilrain as heroes engaged in heroic work, a
still larger number of men and nearly every
woman in the land would be we'll satisfied
ifthe two pugilists had been arrested early
in the proceedings and sent to Jail for a long
term. 1t is merely a rather strange phe-
nomenon in the worlds progress that we
point out. The majority have only come to
the general disapproval of prize fights as
yet. They may some day come to the higher
plane of preventing them.

NO USE FOR MONEY.

The assurance which Senator Hiscock
gave the country in his fourth of j July speech
at Mr.. Bowen's Woodstock picnic is of an
important and interesting nature, if true.
He declared that money has no more in
fuence in politics than formerly, and init
mates that our political methods are the
same as those which brought Washington
and Lincoln to the leadership of the nation.
This is comfortable information. If money
has no influence in politics Of course it
means the retirement of those who have
money and nothing else to recommend
them, as well as the kindred class whose
aims in politics are distinctly pecuniary
and are advanced solely by the use OF
money. The deduction from the declara-
tion of this authority that both these classes
will have to 60, is a satisfactory one to the
public.
We hope that Senator Hiscock will con-
tinue his missionary efforts by demonstrating
to the political workers, who always COM
mence their campaigns by striking the mil
lionaires for big barrels, as well as the
Stanfords, Paynes, stewarts. Algers and
Flowers, that they might as well retire to
private life.

UNDESERVED FAME.

The literary successors of Mr.. Allen
Thorndike Rice reveal the fact that the
writers of the Arthur Richmond" letters in
the North american Reyiew were Julian
Hawthorne and Gail Hamilton. The state
ment being evoked by a disposition to
credit the letters to Mr.. Rice, which re-
mained uncontradicted by the real authors,
it indicates an undercurrent of convic-
tion that they were not particularly
creditable. Most people, not wholly
blinded by partisanship will agree
in that view. A genius for formal and
manifold scoIding has not been considered
of a very high order since the days of
Xantippe, and while that characteristic
pointed out one of the authors rather plain
ly, it was too visible an attempt to copy the
Junius letters to add to the fame of the
later writer. The less of the Arthur
Richmond" style of political literature we
have the better for the intelligence and fair
ness of our politics.
