These observations show that the
morning of the 9th Of December was
three degrees warmer than that of the
22d of August, and that the heat of the
DIST of August at two O'Clock in the
afternoon was only one degree greater
than that of the 9th Of December at
the same hour.

weeks ago that the winter Of 1925

Another Phenomenally Mild Winter.

The memory of "the oldest inhabi-
tantH is frequently at fault in regard to
the state of the weather in past years.
For instance, that veracious old fellow
has never seen such mild winter as
we have been experiencing. Perhaps
his memory is pot so retentive as 1t
formerly was, for in other days there was
as phenomenally mild winter as the
one We are passing through. Some
book-worm was found in an old volume
of the Pot Folio for 1877 the following
statement:
"On the 9th day of December, in
the year 1916, the weather was so
warm as to render it necessary to cover
all the fires in the House Of Represen-
tatives at Washington, and nearly the
same degree of heat continued for sew
eral days"

contains some thermOmetrical observa
tions made in Alexandra, Va, in Au-

A USELESS WRANGLE.

One would suppose from the way that
many of the leading Democratic organs
are discussing HILL and CLEVELAND,
that the Democratic party was re-
duced to the alternative of taking one
of these estimable gentlemen as Its
candidate for the presidency in 1892.
1t is possible that one of them
may be the next Democratic can
didate, but it is more probable
that neither of them will be. 1t is I'M
fortunate that SO much feeling should
be developed between these gentlemen.
or rather between the factions which
array themselves respectively under the
HILL and CLEVELAND banners. The
great question with the Democratic
party is not a choice between HILL
and CLEVELAND. 1t is how the
party shall achieve success in
1892, and have the government
administered in the interests of the peo-
pie. This cannot be done by carrying
over the old grudges and feuds of the
last campaign into the next. Success
can only be achieved by united party,
and unity can only be secured by nomI-
mating for the party's standard bearer a
man who will draw the support of all
factions. 1t is about time, then, to drop
this HILL-CLEyELAND controversy. and
to commence organizing the party for
the next campaign. The nominations
for 1892 will take care of themselves.

LIVERPOOL. Jan. 2s.-To-day DIR.
Talmage, of Brooklyn, took luncheon
and spent the afternoon with Mr.. Glad
stone at Hawarden castle, Mr.. Glad
stone had telegraphed him yesterday:
"Pray come to Hawarden Tomorrow -
DR.. Talmage was received very cor
daily by the eX-premier, and the two
gentlemen had long talk on religious
and political questions. Mr.. Gladstone
said: "Talk about questions of the day,
there is but one question, and that is
the Gospel. 1t can and will correct
everything needing correction. All men
at the head Of great movements are
Christian men. During the many years
| was in the cabinet l was brought
into association with sixty master
minds. and all but five of them were
Christians. My only hope for the world
IS IN bringing the human mind into con-
tact with divine revelation" Then,
placing his hand on DIR. Talmage's
shoulder, MIR. Gladstone warmly eulo-
giZed the doctors Christian zeal and
expressed his great qualification at the
marvellous publicity given to his SER
mons, which are now distributed in all
lands and read in all languages. After
luncheon the two great men linked
arms and took walk over Mr.. Glad
stones vast estate, its proprietor COM
menting lovingly on his wonderful
trees as though they were human be-
lngS. He then inquired eagerly if
Americans paid proper attention to tree
culture. DR.. Talmage asked Mr.. Glad
stone if the cause of Irish home rule
would be victorious. Gladstone bright
ened up and responded emphatically:

States is bound to love it more than l
am" Pointing to numerous beautiful
gifts from America, he went on to say:
Everywhere l have practical express
sion of the fender thoughtfulness and
kindness of the American people,"
Towards evening, when bidding DR..
Talmage farewell, Mr.. Gladstone
pressed into his hands some books and
pamphlets containing autographs in
scriptions and also copy of his own
Latin rendering of his favorite hymn,
"Rock of Ages" and said: "Give my
highest regards to President Harrison,
and express to Mr.. Blaine my deepest
sympathy with him on account of the
loss of his beloved son."

GATHERING IN THINGS.

Some of the W. c. T. u. persuasion
who have been organizing at Cleveland
In opposition to the regulars, under the
theory that they are non-partisans. have
taken occasion to assail Miss WILLARD
for her proposed ambition to gather a
good many reformatory notions under
the broodlng wing of the jealous order
of which she has been for some years
the efficient head. The leading one of
the side incidents she is disposed to
harbor is designated as Christian social
ism. This is an exhibition of the spirit
of the Great Teacher reduced to practice.
Whether it is susceptible to chronology
zeal adjustment is not considered. If
it is good thing why should it not be
put in the W. G.. T. U. category? Miss
WILLARD is also suspected of an ulti-
mate purpose to establish church upon
some new basis. 1t will stand upon
high pillars, and no doubt be credit
able addition to the present list. Miss
WILLARD should be encouraged to ex-
plore unwonted fields and gather of the
best fruitage.

Window and
the Seal
Monopoly.

is apparently working
the Seal the seal-catching mon
opoly in very much the
Monopoly. same spirit as that he
displayed in solving
the silver problem, saws the Boston
Globe. The silver is all there, and the
seals are all there; the only question is
how each product, the one of the deep
sea and the other of the deep earth,
shall be disposed of to the best prOht
for those Immediately concerned. Ordi-
narilY an out-and-out monopoly is
thought to give its fortunate owners or
holders minimum of trouble; but in
these days of restless popular meddle-
someness, suchla one-sided piece of prop
erty is the occasion of anxiety out of
all proportion to its fondly-eXpected
yield of profit and comfort.
Under the old lease of the seal catch
ing monopoly, the grantees were al
lowed to take 100000 skins every year;
the proposal of the new one, now fairly
before congress. is to allow them to
take only 10000 skins the first year, and
for every successive year of the lease to
take whatever number the secretary
may determine. Although this looks
unusually moderate. restrained and fair
at the beginning, it gives US no sort of
intimation of what the end may be.
This reduced number of pelts for the
first year, and for that year only, is
altogether too thin a mask TO hide the
features of the secretary's real
intention. For that very reason it
is likely to keep off competing bid
ders for the sealing privilege, and this
again may serve precisely to explain
why proposal of such character is
made to them. For how can outside and
open competitors know anything about
the secretary's probable intentions in
the matter as compared with those who
are in possession of private information
in respect to them?
That is the very question which is be-
ing put to him at the start. Are bidders
expected to buy the seal or the secre-
tary? He certainly cannot complain if
trary, he rather Invites it. If it wrongs
him, he cannot say that any one is
more to blame for it than himself. If
it were genuine economy that he pro-
posed to be governed by in the interest
of the whole country instead of a few
favored persons seeking monopoly priv
ileges and exclusive fortunes, he would
not hesitate to discard altogether this
paternal leasing system which but
poorly hides fragrant abuses, and throw
open the sealing waters to all alike,
under proper restrictions and necessary
protection of their fur-bearing denl-
ZenS.
There are millions in this monopoly as
it stands; to whom do they so rightfully
belong as to the people as a whole? AS
now managed, this great national prop
erty is certain to waste and dwindle and
disappear. If simply protected as ma
tional preserve of almost inestimable
value its increasing profits will be fairly
distributed among the people, instead
of enriching favorites and helping to
corrupt public morals.

GOSSIP OF THE DAY.
Pettigrew

HoeliSreW Inc Httle CIRCLE or
poker players in the
as a Poker senate, made up of the
senators from Nevada
Player. and Cameron, Plumb
and one or two others,
will find a congenial addition to its
ranks in the person of the senator from
South Dakota, Mr.. Pettigrew, says the
New York Sun. If any of them sue
coed in transferring any of his pile from
his pockets to their own it will not be
through luck, but good play, and it Will
have to be exceptionally good play, too,
for not only does the tickle goddess
look upon Pettigrew with favor, but he
is poker player from away back, knows
the value Of hand, possesses an inn
perturbable face, cool head and
Judgment second to none in
the world. He is hard man to win
money from at cards. When the six
new senators were drawing for terms
and Pettigrew drew the plum, pr0mI-
nent South DakOtan remarked: 81
would have gambled on it. Pettigrew
can draw to the small end of royal
flush and fill every time" Not very
long ago Senator, then Mr.. Pettigrew,
was staying at a small town in Dakota,
where he knew two or three men whose
piles were nearly as big as his own.
Some one suggested a quiet game of
to do. Pettigrew was willing,
and they adjourned to pri-
yate room in the hotel. where
pretty stiff game was soon in progress.
After playing some time jack pot be-
came rather ''tat." At last some one
opened it for fifty. Pettigrew hesitated
at first, but concluded to come in and
drew four cards. The man who opened
the pot bet $50 and Pettigrew raised the
same amount. The third player dropped
out, as the man who opened had not
drawn any cards. 1t being then the turn
of the opener, he raised another fifty,
which Pettigrew doubled. This sort of
thing went on for some little time, until
the fellow who had opened the pot
began to get uneasy.
.:How many cards did you draw, Pet
tiskew?" he asked.
-Four" was the laconic response.
swell, you are betting lively on
four-eard draw"
Pettlgrew said nothing, but sugges ted
that they raise the limit to 500. The
other fellow began to get nervous, but
thought that his QRponent could not
possibly have better hand than his
own and raised another fifty. Petit

ton. called. Pettigrew laid down his
hand-ace, king, queen, jack and ten
spot of clubs.
"Great Scott!' was the chorus. Il
"Guess that's my pot" said Petit
grew.
"What ir--did you draw to?' asked
his companions.
s'That typewriter" said Pettigrew,
indicating the modest little queen of
clubs.
"What did you open it on?''
''Three kings and pair of aces,
though don't know as that is any of
your business"
That broke up the game. The sena-
torial players here heard this story of
Pettigrew's luck and are fighting shy of
him. They are pretty good poker play
ers themselves, but are so much afraid
of the Dakota mans proverbial luck
that he has not yet been invited into a
game. He is watching his chances,
however, and sooner or later will get
into the statesmen's game.
