ONLY A NAP AFTER HARD WORK.

TO the EdftOs OF THO Trfbnno.
Sir: BY the tone of some of our friends, one would
think that defeat had reduced the Republican party
to the state of the Queen of Shcba when there was
no spirit left in her. There Is need of this.
The Republican party is not dead, its good
WORKS in the last Congress. No, the party, after its
arduOIs abors completed has simply taken nap, but
thank goodness. not until 1t had completed ard set
at work wisely considered Tariff act The country
will now see the benefcent workings of this measure
and will come to see and understand the wisdom of
1t and the stay homes will be ready when the next
National movement is in order to be hand and once
more help Us to guide the ship Of state safely.
As for Wisconsin, she has east blot on her name

hope that the stay -athomc Republicans viii awake

The flower show at Madison Square Garden was WIS.,
Tied by thousands OF people yesterday. 1t was tho
most successful day the managers have far enjoyed
Women in handsome toilets thronged the avenues, and
many Of the men were in full dress. The cuthower
booth did enormous business, most OF the people
procuring flowers after entering and wearing
them during their stay. To-day is souvenir dav and
flowers will be given away to every visitor. 1t Will
doubtless be the greatest day Of the week. The guam
tity Of flowers arriving last night TO be made lnto
corsage bouquets and boutonnicres was amazing.
Many changes and additions have been made to the
exhibition. The dining room display is now exceed
inely fine, and brings forth EXPLANATIONS OF ad'
mIration from nearly every that sees IT,
Among the additions made to the exhibition yesterday
is brds-nest fern, known to botanists as Than
nopteris indus. 1t Is native Of Australia. Another
addition is the royal agavc, or Agave Victorlae' d
native of Mexico An Oldham cactus, or Pilocercns
sens, also from Mexico attracts considerable atten-
ton. One Of the most interesting specimens IS a
banana plant bearing huge bunch of fruit. The
fruit is green and win not rpen without great amount
Of heat. At the end Of the banana bunch Is the
flower beautiful large red bloom, in splendid condi-
ton. Near the banana plant a number OF pine
apple plants bearing fruit This fruit Is well ad-
vanced and almost ripe.

day. II has before been exhibition and Is not

The greatest feature of the day, however, Will be tho
naming of new chrysanthemum, which will be put on
exhibition for the first time. The Spanish dancer,
Otero. of the Eden Musee. has been requested TO
name it, and she has promised TO be at the Garden

vantage of the holiday to visit the city, The managers
and their assistants did their utmost to enghten Wis

everybody went away well pleased All the prtncpa

TWO OCroBERs ON THE PACIFIC COAST.
Fnm The Seattle Press.

Lieutenant J. p Finley. United states Signal Service
stationed at san Francisco, has preparing an interest
ing review Of the weather for October $500 and $50
II explains what has been the cause Of considerable
comment, the comparative lack OF rainfall here dur
ing the last month. The most striking feature for
the weather for the month Of october mas been the
marked deficiency In rainfall throughout The Pacific
Coast states. The canse for this decrease In pre-
cipitation Is due TO falling of In the number Of
storms which have entered the North Pacific coast
from the Japan current and also. especially Ia
the fact that these storms have passed eastward at
higher latitude than In previous OctObers In order t.
illustrate this very important fact set Of stOrmt track
charts has been prepared for October 1880 and 500
glance at these charts will show the relation between
the extreme southery position Of the storm paths in
October 1880, and the extraordinary rainfall OF that
month"; and the relation between the extreme norherly
position OF the storm paths and the marked deficiency
VI minfal for October, 1900. The amount and dis
tribution OF rainfall dependent upon the latitude OF
the storms from the japan current Is OF the most
important features Of the Pacific Coast weather, and
Is worthy Of the careful attention Of tho public.
