fulness IS even more marked than usual.
Is this due to the opposite IN fluence 20
that so salutrious in the East, or is the
good sanitary condition there due to
some other cause? Of late the temper
ature in New England and on the At
lantic coast is similar to that in this sec
ton. There is the same unreasonable
the old-time winter. Lieut.. D0wNs, a
government scientist. attributes this to
a detection of the gulf stream, bring
ing its warm waters nearer the
New England coast, Instead of more to
the north. nearer the coast of England
and Norway. If there is really such
change. 1t will be likely to continue, and
may permanently affect the climate of
that section. But that Is not the direc-
ton that the Northwest gets Its weather
from, and cannot be the cause of the
deprecated mildnesS. Perhaps the
north pole is thawing out and sending
out warmer waves in the atmosphere.
Another contrast in the condi tionS East
and West is suggested. a Boston paper
finds advantages in the absence of snow
and low temperature. 1t says 1t will
less obStruet travel and business, allow
outside ayocations tO cont nue., and
make fuel aud living cheaper for the
poor. Here snow and severe weather
are desired to enliven bu sineSS and fur
nish work and comfort for the
poor. The temperance lecturer yester-
day said that even saloons were anxious
for frigid conditions. Perhaps some can
reconcile these miscellaneous and di-
VeTgent conditions.

Of the situation Is that all Intelligent
Republican papers admit that there was
fair anu honest election. Some are
magnanimous enough to admit that the
elections in Virginia for years past have
been as fairly conducted as in any
OF the Northern states. This Is
noteworthy concession to be made of any
Southern or Democratic state. 1t will
surprise the eonfiding Republican reader
who has been taught that the negroes
were not allowed to do much voting in the
South and that an honest election was
unknown there. In this late election
they attribute the big SCOOP to the bolt
ing of the Republicans who would not
support the "little Napoleon" who
controlled the party machine and had
the administration behind him. About
all the men of much standing in the
party were In the revolt, and the feud Is
conceded to tie irreconeilable. If Ma
HONE runs the party, as he is still able
to do. these men will perpetuate the
$4,000 majority against the ticket If
any of these boilers come to the front,
MAHoNE will see that they are buried
equally deep. Virginia will hardly get
back into the doubtful list for good
many years yet.
