The SUMMER IS ENDED.
The Harvest Is Passed and the Republi-
cans Are Not saved.


Special correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
HARRINcToN, Aug 26.-The period
Of the year Is at hand when nearly every
thing is at a stand still. The trees and
the grass have done about all the work
that they propose to do this summer,
the early crops have been gathered, while
the late ones have made the most of
their substance, and now need only to
stand idle and let the waning sunshine
mature and flavor them. There have been
all sorts Of weather that the manufac.
turers furnish and they too have stopped
trying to do anything and simply allow
the sun to shine on in its natural and
proper manner.
The Harrington folk who have been
summering at the different watering
places are beginning TO feel that their
visits are feenldly drawing to close.
The melting, broiling, sizzling heat OF
the summer is over and we have sim
p,ered down to the point Of stagnation.
There Is nothing left even to complain Of,
ard thereby something is missed from
life There is no breeze of any kind
stirring and one feels becalmed in
mid ocean, without energy enough to
wish to make progress. For when he
thinks OF the stir and hustle and activity
into which he must plunge on his arrival
at the autumn's shores, he is appalled, by
! it. because he is atill under the spell Of mid
summer drowslness and that lack OF vim
and vigor which the bracing frosts will
bring.
But this state OF affairs is not going tc
/ last forever, of course 1t Is only tht
years seista; its dull and drowsY after
noon nap; and in a few weeks, at most
the tingling frosts will set the currents
20 dancing in natures great arteries; SHIT
| will heap high her festive board, and fill
| her deep chalice, and deck herself out II
her evening attire; people will come
streaming home to light blazing fires
and betake themselves to their worl
and their merry makings with all thu
more zest for their indulgence Ia thil
season OF apparently fruitless idleness.
With regard to politics there has beer
| one little new disclosure OF recen
date. The fact, namely, that instead O
| being the harmonious organization whicl
it was represented to be, the Republican
| party, in this county and state, Is beinl
rent by Internal factions, and is perform
ing In many discordant keys. II was pre-
dicted, you know, that Higgins If elected
would do all things right. But th'
jealousies and dissatisfactions developed
by his course OF procedure, makes 1t ap
parent that this was serious mistahe
He is marching them steadily to theil
funeral pyre. But this discord in th'
Republican camp has, however, been in
strumental in healing the division
which existed among the Democrati
cohorts. 1t brightens their propects TO
triumphant march TO victory in 1890
Every tax payer who voted the Reput
lican ticket last fall may consider hinsel
responsible for the high price Of sugars
the high price for twnes and for ever
article upon which the heartless trust
have made the people pay an additions
tax.
If this is to continue what is to becom
Of the farmers2 High county taxes, hig
prices for everything used by the farmC
cannot bring Joy and plenty to the home
Of the tax payers. The change mus
come, but 1t will never come, so long /
people give their support to trust
monopolies and combinations Of monte
men in every section Of the Union.
