THE WEATHER FOR SUMNER. Sum
mcr can be established only 10y the com
bined increase of solar heat aud atmos-
pheric humidity. When the absolute
humidity of the air is very small the
earth radiates as much heat al night as
il receives from the sun by day. Were
il not, therefore, for the movement OF
vapor-laden sea air into the Inferior of
the continent at this season, we should
have no settled summer weather.
The best evidence that this movement
is now going on more rapidly than ii
was a fortnight ago is the reports of
heavy rainfalls from the Gulf Of Mexico
TO the lakes since Tuesday. As the
severe storm now crossing this section
passes of we may expect decided
'.cold wave" preceded by dangerous
gales of the coasts. With the increase
OF humidity we may hope for speedy
and settled improvement in the crop

cleveland looms NIP as candidate fol
1.-The Presidency IN 1892, aud the pIa,
that his friends mako is on the Eagle
Bird at the pivot OF the spinning
wbiri. where New York State asserts
the right to dominate the personality OF
the Democratic party. As soon az Til
den was elected it was understood that
New York could name the Democratic
nominee if the Democratic party al.
lowed the claim, and when Cleveland
was elected this idea was dorbly and
trebly approved.
But the whole question Of presIden-
tial politics simply resolves itself into
this: Can the Democratic party of the
United States mortgage itselfto a party
quarrel in New York and deal for
local patronage?
The thirty-six electoral votes of New
York a-e all-powerful when they are
acknowledged as the card to which the
Democratic party must draw to I'LL It's
hand for the great game of 1892. But
there is something else in the United
States besides New York, and the way
that the country will recognize the fact
is by the token of that deal whereby
the national ticket can be sold out by
the local ticket.
How long the people will stand the
deal at the pivot" and how long the
State Of New York will dictate the
nominee Of the party IS entirely "a
question between New York and the
rest of the country. There is one
thing certain, and that is, that since the
Indian days when Dutch Knickerbock-
ers fought the redskins the great state
OF New York has always produced great
men. 1.-The Long House Of the lroquoIs
still makes big pale face chiefs as 1t
did Indian braves, and we applaud the
great history Of that State and The re-
sults of national influence. which seem
as potent as the az trologicaI signs that
govern the warlike island Of BrittoD.
But that is just the reason why we de-
plore the disgrace to our national poll
tics that can be accomplished by the
Zeal Of a gang of ward politicians. who
Dlackmail the National Democracy into
.erms that are false to our ideas Of
popular convention.
1t is impossible that great party can

At the very prologue lspoken a long
while too soon before the opening of

nee of the party in 1892, simply be-
ause New York is absolutely necessary
