speeding the calling of the Republican
State Convention. There appears to be
an Intention on the part of the State Ex-
ecutive Committee to postpone the hold

For what reason no one can tell.
Unfortunately for the success of the
Republican party in the State, the State
Executive Committee has shown little
comprehension of the situation and no
energy whatever in doing effective work.

An examination of the meteorological
records reveals the extraordinary fact that
there have been since the first Of Febru-
AIRY last but twenty-eight absolutely clear
days. This is claimed by weather savants
TO be phenomenal. During this period
the wind has blown almost continuously
from the southwark or eastward quarter,
with occasional breaks, OF course. In
February there were but six real clear
days, while the remaining twenty-five
were either snowy, rainy, or threatening.
While 1t rained on but ten days Ia
March there were but eight positively
clear days. The wind blew from the
eastward for fourteen days.
In April there was an increase in the
rainfall. As Ia February, the sky was
rarely clear OF clouds, and It was safe to
venture forth without an umbrella on but
six days OF this month, which will be re-
nowned In history as the month which
witnessed the awful calamity at Johns
town. The rainfall continued TO mount
up In May, and reached 4,677 inches.
Rain fell 10 this month on thirteen days,
and on nineteen days the wind bowled
along from northerly quarter. The
record shows also that there were but
seven clear days.
The ''horrid weather. began to set In
with more Of business-like activity In
June, although there was hardly as much
rain fell as in May. OF the thirty days
rain fell on thirteen OF them, while there
were but four really clear days.
July has been the great record-smasher,
however, not only for the number of days
on which rain has fallen, or which have
been cloudy, but for the amount OF rain
fall, the latter exceeding nine inches.
The rain has come down with q singular
and exasperating persistency, and the
record-keeper has marked nineteen days
In which there was rain. All the rest,
with the exception of three, were really
threatening and hid the sun.

The Chicago Tribune has sized up
the judiciary of this country very correct
ly when it says; 'A judge in this coun-
try is only lawyer on detailed duty, and,
as rule, is completely dominated by his
former associates at the bar. He is not
checked by the presence Of layman with
whom he must advise, and is not expected
TO show the slightest respect for the ''com-
mon mind" but rather to display profess
sional pride and zeal in administering

Cincinnati Is about TO face another
crisis In its efforts to secure Sunday re-
form. For several weeks passed the Law
and Order people have secured SEM
blance OF respect tor the statutes govern
ing labor and trade on Sunday, and some
enthusiastic friends OF the cause have con-
fidently declared that great forward step
had been taken and one which would be
resolutely and successfully maintained
The notorious disinclination OF the mnni-
cipal authorities to carry out this move
ment was serious stumbling block, but
It was believed that the pressure of a
growing public opinion would secure
more or less efficient cooperation. The
work Is scarcely begun. however, before
Its enemies cross II track defiantly and 10
such numbers as to make 1t appear that
all that has been done will speedily be un-
done. The saloonists OF the city, TO the
number Of 200 on Thursday, met in
Convention and unanimously passed a
resolution that they wonld keep open
hereafter In defiance OF law and its sup
porters. This matter must be fought out
somewhere and soon, or the continental

izing features, win be firmly established
In more than one American city. The
progress of the contest la Cincinnati will
be watched with great interest throughout
the country.

HERO WORSHIP.

The tender trailing vine instinotively

self around some proffered artificial sup
port. Frail mankind in like fashion seeks
an idol, bends its way in the trend of some
superior leadership, oarves out from fact
or imagination model, and serves some
real or ideal creation. Hero worship will
be mans natural attribute while there re-
main depths of philosophy to be explored
realms of fancy to be pictured,
deeds of charity and valor to be performed
The mind and conscience of finite man
will always quickly respond to whatever
smacks of approach to something reaching
up and beyond the round of the usual, the
deed expected, the work of the common
place. But Is hero worship of to-day

mans isolation in the realms
of thought, craftsmanship, invention,
charity and valor are past. The world is
now too large, the dissemination of learn

and admiration of one man, one event, one

OF all these facts and conclusions, can the
agent of the King Bridge company be in
earnest when he complains that we have
treated his company unfairly by protest
ing against the county's receiving
the bridge in its present con-
dition, at it's present. height? The
communication nowhere claims the
bridge conforms to that part of the COZ
tract which says "the bed of the bridge
shall be five feet above the highest known
flood level of 1885," but contents itself
with saying the company strictly obeyed
the directions of Mr.. Andrewartha. The
report of this gentleman has been repndi-
ated by the commissions rs court, and the
bridge he allowed to be built in violation
of contract should not be received by the
county authorities until it is found fin
ished in strict accordance with the terms
of the original contract.

railroads made them Improbable During
the last two years of their service they lost
money, because they could not get the pas

not only filled the office of president, but

truest, best object of hero-worship this

Prince Battenberg,s Romantic Career.

Not yet 80 years Of age, mind you, and
vet Prince Alexander of Battenberg has ex-
perienced all the dark days and crossings in
life that any young man can ever hope to
carry. A soldier of fortune, he passed from
the Pl-ussian to the Russian ranks, and with
out friends and few prospects was so sweetly
smiled upon by Dame Fortune that by and
by he sat on a throne of his own in foreign
land. Of course the Bulgarian crown was
not exactly an ideal one to wear, but for
person whose most ambitious dream could
never have been more than to retire at the
end of his career as general, to pass his old
days in some German castle home on half
pay, it was good deal However, in few
short years, after tasting the sweets of power,
the grand captain of heroically gained battle
fields learned the ingratitude of people and
found his royal joys exhausted. Next he
knew the distress of exile then he picked up
acquaintance with the delightful temper and
sarcasm of an English queen, and finally, at
the house of kinsman in Darmstadt, met
an opera singer of the third rank and fell in
love. With a little more patience, perhaps,
he might have been the brother-in-law of
mighty monarch, but he had had enough of
the vanities of this world, and wishes to
choose for wife good little creature WITH
whom to lead q tranquil and quiet life here
after.-Paris Cor. New Orleans Picayune.
