How Rain Is Produced.

In our issue of last Wednesday we stated
that we could not expect any more than
partial rains till the weather became cool
err when we might expect q general rain.
The weather became cooler on Saturday
night and Sunday, and, as We expected, it
caused a general rain, which continued till
the weather became warmer, when the
clouds rolled away" making Monday a
bright and pleasant day. Remember it
was the cool weather that caused tho rain,
and not the rain that caused the cool
weather, as many enormously believe.
The warm weather causes an increase OF
evaporation, thus getting the vapor into
the air; but it is tho reduction of tempera-
ture that CONDENSED the Invisible vapor,
first into clouds aud then into rain. The
air sustains moisture in proportion to It's
temperature. If the air at particular
temperature contains as much moisture as
it can sustain at that temperature, if the
temperature be increased it, is q physical
impossibility for it to rain; aud if the tenn
perature be reduced, rain is a neoessaTy
result, and the qaantity Of rainfall depends
upon the inverse relation of the quantity OF
vapor in the air to the degree Of tempera-
ture-the greater the quantity of vapor and
the less the degree of temperature, the
greater the quantity of rainfall.
WILL Quay Acknowledgements
Kennedy, of Ohio, a prominent Republican,
having had published in the Congressional
Record his philippe against Senator Quay,
delivered in the House on the 3rd inst,
after changing some Of the expressions and
emitting others that be deemed unpar-
liamentary, the New York Herald insists
thai Quay must now answer the charges
preferred against his character, or "forfeit
the esteem in which he would be held as q
leader of the Republican party and Senator
in Congress-" Ia the speech, as delivered
from manuscript, Mr. Kennedy denounced
Mr.. Quay as "branded criminal" whose
''silence is confession of guilt" and who
stands ga convicted criminal before the bar
of public opinion under such circumstances
that he should be driven from the head o!
the party whose very life his presence i'm.

THE LETTER,

PETERSBURG, VA, Sept. 10, 1890.
Dear Sir,-Until now any reply TO your
favor of the goth of August has been pre-
Guided by painful illness, from which |
have had as yet only partial relief. 1t had
been my wish in response to your queries
to give not only my views as to the duty Of
southern men in the political crises now
rapidly eliminating, but TO set forth at
length the reasons which form the basis Of
that conclusion. AS it is, my physical
condition prescribes the utmost brevity that
is consistent with clearness, and | must
postpone all argument as to the soundness
of my opinion and the propriety of my po-
sition to some more convenient season.

SECTIONAL pEEJUDIcEs.

| OF my OPINION ana the pToprleGy OF my pO'
sition to some more convenient season.
SECTIONAL PEEJUDIoEs.
| [ have been taught by the events Of
| eighteen months past that mon Of our ante
cedents and convictions can no longer with
| self-respect lend our voices, our votes, or
even the negative support Of silence, to the
Republican party as it is eXpounded by the
organization in this State or as it is ad-
ministered by the present Executive and
| legislative departments Of the United States
Government. The Republican party pre-
serves no longer the sepnblaDce of speaking
for the entire country, but bases it's claim
| to supremacy on sectional prejudices and
sectional interests, pure and simple. Not
! only SO. but the directors of its policy have
not hesitated in attainment of their ends to
prostitute the plighted faith of the party in
sight of all the world, and to renOunce in
| their congressional enactments tho prOmi-
SEES solenlDly made in the Chicago platform.
! They stand self convicted not only of false
pretenoa and punic faith, but OF matbe
NAUTICAL malignancy in seeking to retain
power by re-invoking the war sentiment at
| the North and West and by resurrecting al
| the stock phrases Of fsnaticisr, and seetiou-
aIsnn which could stir the South into re-
sentiment and retort. Their object was and
| Is 30 FORCE the lighting as DaEWSSn a soliu
North and solid South, and at the same
time to use the small contingent of south
ern Republicans in Congress to minimize
the power Of the South by such political
denominations ne the Lodge bill, and by SO
framing tariff law (under pretext of pro-
lection to American labor and American
products) as to increase every burden of
tho customs upon the weaker eeotioD, and
as to leave in force jn all its shameless
inequality the revenue tax upon the tobacco
of Virginia. Carolina, Tennessee, Ken
lucky, Missouri, Maryland. and FlbYids.-
The utterauces of Mr.. Mckinley on thu
floor of the House Che the patron of the
Chicago platform and the leader OF the
House Of Representatives and the chairman
of the committee which framed the tariff
bilD, and the action of the Senate on Mon-
| day in regard to the tobacco clause, eonsti-
| tuie au open declaration of war against
southern development. Aud we must
realize that this action, apart from its in
herent i0iustics, il deliberate, yvanton,
and absolute Justification OF solemn
promise given to tho tobacco STATES by the
| National Convention. The record on the
Blair bill is no better. And the tariff act,
with its so-ealied revision and equalization
| of import duties, bristles with diserimina-
tons against the South and those industries
and products in which southern Republi-
cans have the same interest as southern

while demonstrating with her, struck the
woman q violent blow in the face.
Officers Galloway and zerby we're in the
