1T is HOT.

Whew! sizz Hot, boiling. 1t took
a strong thermometer to hold the mer-
curry down yesterday. We do not
know what sort of a record the weather
bureau will show, but we do know that
every man, woman and child in st.
Paul will certify to it being the hottest
day they have experienced in the North
west. 1t was mighty poor thermome-
ter that didn't register 100 deg in the
shade, and but for the stiff breeze the
heat would have been intOlerable.
1t is using a stereotyped expression to
say that this has been phenomenal
season all through; and yet we are
prone to discuss it in the hope that we
may find the cause for all these abnor-
NAL atmospheric conditions. Possibly
it is due to some planetary derange-
ment, or it may find its origin in the
old theory that the crust of the earth is
getting thinner, and that we are grad
ually being more and more exposed to
the heat of the internal fires; but, what
ever the cause. we are at loss to know
how to adjust ourselves to these
changed conditions. 1t has not been
long since an eminent astronomer
offered an explanation in the theory
that the earth has dropped in its orbit,
and was constantly getting further
away from the sun. Yesterday upset
that theory completely. Instead of re-
ceding from the sun, the indications
yesterday were that this part of the
earth at least was closer to old SoFs do
minions than it had ever been before.
But, dropping theories and getting
down to actual facts, the hot winds
that have been blowing for the past few
days must be damaging to the crops in
this section. They are surely injurious
to the wheat, and can be no special ben
eft to the corn. More than that, the
sod is being parched and the grasses are
dying. 1nasmucn as the dairy business
has become an important industry in
the Northwest, we readily see what a
serious injury these hot winds are in
fiicting. Still we must not be dlscour-
aged. There is a good deal of the sum-
mer ahead of US, and our trust in Provi-
dence is not all gone.

THE DOG OF THE FUTURE.
An English Authority Describes
the Coming Canine Pet--A Low
Country Dog.
What is the coming dog?

What is the coming dog?
This question is answered by an En-
glish authority on the subject. Accord
ing to him the fox-terrier has become
almost too common. japanese pugs are
too stupid. French poodles are not to
be seriously considered. There remains
the DachShund and Danish mastiff,
neither of them quite satisfactory. The
new dog halls from the Low countries,
and it is not so much novelty as re-
vival. He has been rediscovered by
the accident of the exhibition at Brus-
sells. Dogs were to be an attraction
there, and the deSideratum was to
be patriotic, and, if possible, 10
cal. OF course the milk-carry-
ing dogs would be collected
in great force, and it seemed
as if Flanders would have little else in
the canine world to rely upon. Then it
was remembered that generations ago,
when railways were scarce in the land,
there was little black terrier called a
spitz, largely used on the canal-boatS
that then carried the commerce, and,
indeed, the traffic of the Low Countries.
His chief Qualities-almoSt legendary
were that he was death on rats and I'M
approachable as a watch dog. He was
a clever little fellow, too, vivacious and
attached. But railways had driven him
out An attempt was made to secure
some for the show. 1t proved that there
was plenty of life III the old breed still.
There are yet barges and canal-boats in
Holland, and they had spitz on board.
A very good show was gotten together.
The spitz soon became popular, and we
shall no doubt soon see him here.

TOM REEDS GROWL.

Tom REED, the Maine congressman
who expects to be the next speaker of
the house of representatives, is in the
dumps. He is awfully blue, and doesn't
hesitate to let the public know it. 1t is
not because his chances for the speak
ership are dim, nor is it because the
HARRISON administration has gone back
on civil service reform. His deSpond-
ency rests on deeper foundation. He
is out of sorts because the newspapers
do not give more attention to congress.
Mr.. REED is one of the presidents par
ty, making a tour of the New England
states, and was called up for Fourth
of July Grafton at Woodstock, Conn.,,
and the burthen of his speech
was that the newspapers neglected
congress. Here is his own language:
''Ifitwere possible on the Fourth of July.
in country of 67,000,0O0, with wealth
untold, to be a little dismal, | should be
so over the small attention congress gets.
That fight of dogs must be eventless, and
that lady about to shine as star on the
stage must be pressing her divorce suit
with great languor, if either cannot dis
place in any metropolitan journal the
regular proceedings of congress-"
Perhaps it has never occurred to Mr..
REED that it is the business of the
newspapers to print the news, and not to
serve as congressional record.
And possibly it may not have oc-
Cured to him that when the congress
sional proceedings become as interest
ing as a dog fight or divorce suit, the
newspapers will be sure to give the
matter some attention.
The trouble with Mr.. REED is that he
is In need of a little advertising just
now, and can't get 1t. That's what
gives him the diSmals.

THOUGHTS OF A QUEEN.
.rmen sylvia in London Life.

Carmen Sylvia in London Life.
Forgiveness is almost Indifference !;
who really loves does not forgive.
A man in love is like an ostrich; he
thinks he is not seen because he does
not see others.
Maternal love is an instinct; but there
are instincts of divine origin.
A woman does not become mother:
she is one from her birth. A numerous
family satisfies her vocation; it does
not create it.
A household without children is a
bell without a clapper. The latent
sound would be beautiful enough were
there something to awaken it.
Jealousy in lover is homage; in a
husband an insult.
Friendship based solely upon graft
tude is like photographs; in time it
fades.
Friendship diminishes when there is
too much happiness on either side and
too much misery on the other.
There is but one ppineSS-duty.
There is but one consolation-work.
There is but one delight-the beautiful.
Happiness, when at distance, APP
pears so great as to touch the sky.
When it enters our door it so dwindles
that very often we no longer recOg-
niZe it.
Happiness is like the echo; it an
SWerS, but does not come.
Seek consolation only in immortal
things; in nature and in thought.
The power of doing good actions is
happiness enough.
Misfortune may make us proud; suf-
fering makes us humble.
We are always the martyrs of our
own faults.
Great misfortune lends greatness even
to an insignificant person.
There is sort of instantaneous broth
erhood between victims of misfortune.
When you have long been in MOURNING
you feel attracted by every black cloak
you meet.
The respect people show you in your
misfortune diminiShes long before you
have begun to outlive it, and you are
irritated at being treated as before.
One must indeed be unhappy to at
tempt suicide second time.
Suffering is our most faithful friend.
1t often returns. Often it changes its
garb and even it's face, but we soon rec
ogniZe it by its cordial and intimate en-
brace.
When you are young grief is tenn
pest which prostrates you; at mature
age it is simply a north wind which
adds wrinkle to your brow and one
more white hair to your head.
Suffering is sensitive and clairvoyant.
Happiness has firmer nerves. but not so
true an eye.
A beast in pain seeks solitude. Man
alone makes parade of his misery.
When we have a sorrow which we do
not wish to mention, we speak of others
which we hid formerly.
Grief is hot spring; the more it is
repressed the more it spoutS.

SMASH THE STATES.

There seems to be little more diff
Guilty in arranging the matters for the
people in South than North Dakota.
In the latter PIERCE and ORDwAY
have kindly consented to go to the SEN
ate, while ALLEN will put up with the
executive office. In the South there
are three men who insist upon going to
the senate-MooDY, EDGERToN and
PErTIGREw, and neither cares to be
governor. They ought to be able to ar
range the matter without troubling the
people. For the good of the party, one
of them should be self-sacrifcing
enough to take something else-the
lower house or chief justice. They
could draw straws or play the favorite
game, poker, of the Dakota statesmen,
with the three offices in the pot. 1t is
to be hoped that the matter will be adj
justed between them in some way.
There is no intimation that the people
are to be consulted; and still it is posi-
BILE that they may take notion to pull
loose and break the slate just to show
that they can.

CRIPPLED COLLEGES,

Associate Justice MILLER, of the
supreme court, contributes an article
OH Iowa to the July number of Har-
per's magazine, in which he complains
that the cause of education has been in
jured in that state by the multiplicity
of mushroom colleges which are spring
ing up in almost every town. The
same is probably true of all our west
ern states. The local pride OF cities
and villages and the fervent zeal of the
various church denominations are
largely responsible for this needless
multiplication of educational institu-
tons. Justice MILLER says that in
Iowa the result of this policy has
been to divide and paralyze the
efforts of the friends of liberal
education, and, as consequence, the
state has number of half-starved and

Romish church will leave the city so

DAKOTA PROHIBITIONIsTs.

If there are parties in South Dakota
who have their capital invested in BREW
cries, it looks very much as if they
would do a prudent thing In encourag-
ing the British capitalists who are pick
ing up such things, to buy them out at
good round figures. The prohibitionists
have lost none of their determination
by the voting lately done in Eastern
states. The demonstration at Sioux
Falls on the Fourth, and the tone of the
constitutional convention are significant.
but more so still is the alacrity with
which the Republican politicians are
putting themselves On that side. Few
of them are practically or honestly in
that cate CORY, but they are eager and
watchful political weather cocks. They
will be in the popular breeze if they I'M
derstand it. The Republican party is
as fully identified with prohibition in
South Dakota as in Iowa or Kansas,
and the indications are that they will
be able to put it into the new constitu-
tioo
