THE SEPTEMBER HEAT,

If the persevering though rather opti-
mistic predictions of the Weather Bureau
for cooler weather are verified to-day, it
will mark the termination of one of the
most remarkable periods of belated heat
this country has known for many years.
The steady maintenance of July tempera-
ture during the last two weeks of Septem-
Der has not been rivaled since 1871; and
even the fall heat of that year was less
fierce than it has been this, the more
emphatic feature of the earlier period
being the prolonged drought which dried
up the trees and subjected the Northwest
to the destruction of consuming forest
fires.
The last two weeks have exercised very
direct influence on two theories. The first
is that the equinox, or passing of the sun
over the equator, is necessarily accompa-
MED by storms. The entire freedom of the
equinoctial period this year from anything
approaching a storm later than the first
week in September leaves that idea in a
lame shape. Another less popular theory
is that the hot and dry weather of 1871, to-
gether with similar periods at stated in
tervals, were caused by the passage of the
earth through the tail of a comet. This
was demonstrated to be the case twenty
years ago, and the frequency of meteors
in our nightly ornaments lends good deal
of strength to the hypothesis that this may
yet be shown to be the case this year.
Whatever the meteorological or astro-
nomical cause, there is no doubt that hu-
manity is ready for a change 1t is to be
hoped that the era of cool weather whi ch
the bureau has been predicting with such
persistence for three days will soon ar
rive, and that an overheated nation will
have chance to cool off and recuperate.

AN UNDESIRABLE FLAVOR,

II is by no means pleasant discovery
that was made IN New York last week
That was that a considerable share of
covered by small green spots that did not
look at all attractive and justified the sus-
picion that they would digest far worse
The investigation of the health officials
has produced a theory that the vine
growers had used the solution of copper
intended to destroy the phylloxera, not as
they should have done, when the grapes
were first formed, but when they were near
ly ripened.
Opinions differ as to the effect of this
solution, some people claiming it is poi
sonous and others that it will hurt no one
But there is a general agreement on the
part of the public that they do not want
any Of that copper. For people with cop
per-lined StOmachS it is superfiuous. For
those without, there is a decided doubt
whether it will assimilate The result
win be that after the grapa shippers, who
used this anti-phylloxera preparation so
vigorously, receipt the statements OF their
grapes dumped into the North river they
might as well have left their fruit to
the phyllOxera.
The moral of this incident is obviously
the use of discretion in connection with
the employment of dangerous drugs in the
growth Of fruits and vegetables. There
is also manifest moral to the effect that
tie public donot wantany copper fastened
grapes.

A FIAT SCARE

The declaration of the New York Euen-
ing Post that 5000, 900, 900 of capital have
been driven out of that State and compelled
to seek protection under the laws of New
jersey is an interesting evidence of the
looseness and wildness of statement which
the average Wall street organ can make
in the interest of the combination capital
lists. Capital, as everyone knows, consists
of the property which the paper repre-
sentations of it, in the corporations shares
represents Of this property perhaps
5000 cents worth has left New York for
New jersey. The fact is that for the sake
of defying all restraints of law upon their
operations, large numberof monopolistic
concerns have transferred their nominal
quarters to New Jersey, which State
obligingly furnishes them with broad
gauge charters to do what they please.
But the Misrepresentation of the Posts
statements is shown from the fact that
none of the actual wealth has changed its
habitat. The assertion that it has is
simply humbug in the interest of the
Trusts.

THE REooIL OF THE ARGUMENT.

Touching the promise of municipal
greatness to be secured by the consolida-
ton of Pittsburg and Allegheny, with
outlying suburbs, into a single city of
4JO, 900 population, there has lately been a
great Illumination of new light. We
would not 60 so far as to say that the stu
alton is entirely changed. The gains to
be secured by consolidation are the same;
but with regard to one of the phases OF
the question-made quite prominent by
opponents of the proposition in the past
it is certain that the boot is on the other
leg.
One of the objections to consolidation
heard most loudly from the conservative
citizens of Allegheny was the unsatisfae-
tory nature of the municipal government
of Pittsburg The extravaganza of the
larger municipality, the charges of cor
ruption in the past and its susceptibility
to the Indictment of management by
rings, formed a stone of stumbling to the
Allegheny citizens. Could they consent
to have their economically managed city
put under the peril of such control, with
the liability of having the tax rate in
creased 10 or 10 per cent? Never!
1t might not be safe to go so far as to
assert that this argument no longer exists;
but its cogency, if there is any, is trans
ferred to the other bank of the river. The
late disclosures in Allegheny of munich
pal officers whose receipts can with diff
ficulty be calculated from their books, and
of Councils struggling to determine which
of two street railway corporations they
are owned by, is calculated to make Pitts
burg pause. The larger city in pondering
recent events may well take into earnest
and thoughtful consideration the question
whether it is willing to have its COMPARE
lively business-like, though not very
economical methods of administration ex-
posed to the peril of admixture with those
of the Northside; or whether its impair
tial practice of granting street franchises to
nearly every traction company that comes
along shall be marred by the addition of
populous territory that bids fair to be the
property of a single corporation. The
recent disclosures of Allegheny municipal
politics are calculated to make PittSburg
just now look upon consolidation with a
wary eye.
Nevertheless, upon thorough study, we
think Pittsburg will take the right view of
if, and be swayed by its duty in mission
ary point of view. 1t will recognize its
mission to give Allegheny a-chance to en-
joy the benefits of better government, SUI
perior though rather expensive pavements,
a water supply reasonably free from
bacteria, and city account books in which
the truth is not buried deeper than the
bottom of well. With its superior pOpu-
lation and the cooperation of the better
part of Allegheny's population, Pittsburg
can hold out the promise of these things to
the consolidated city. Certainly that
will no longer be antagonized
by the fear of sullying the superior purity
of the Northside municipality.

REroaM IN ENGLAND
Gradually Drifting Toward a Bioodless but
Thorough Revolution.


Washington Post.l
Those who give some attention to English
questions are more and more impressed
with the idea that England, in its govern.
mont and institutions, Is gradually drifting
toward bloodless but thorough revolution,
in which the political landmarks of to-day
will be swept away and new social conditions
will be tablished, which will be more radi-
cal in character than even those which pre-
vail in the Western world. The battle cries
which are already beginning to be heard as
the watchwords of new conf1icts-the re-
form or abolition of the House of Lords, the
disestablishment of state churches, the
Adoption of the principle of home rule, the
right of one man to one vote only, the right
of workingmen to make regulations for the
promotion OF the interests of their own
trades, their right to representation in the
great council of the nation by men of their
own class, the consequent necessity for sal
aries to members of Parliament, and other
reforms of q like nature-indicate clearly
the direction of this drift.
Perhaps none of these demands, however,
is so clearly indicative of the coming revo-
luton as that to which Sir John Gorst refers
IN recent interview-the demand of the
people for the possession of the land upon
which they live. Sir John Gorst is O Con-
serVat1ve. and the political secretary in the
present government of the East Indian
Office, but he is also one of the most intellf-
gent as well as one of the most earnest mem
bers OF the Royal Labor Commission, and in
this last position he has given much time to
questions affecting the condition of work
1ngmen, and, indeed, to the wants and
rights OF laboring people in general. He
thinks his own party recreant to its duty
when it fails to attempt suoh q solution Of
the question of rural want as would stop
emigration and keep the people in the coun-
try from fiocking to the congested districts
of cities. His policy would be to give all the
people an interest in the soil. He has no
definite plan as yet for the accomplishment
of this purpose, but that it will be accom-
pliShed he does not doubt.

GOULD is BETTER.

Il may be remembered that some days
ago, in view of the reports that Mr.. Jay
G1uld's health was seriously impaired and
that he had therefore retired from active
business, The DISPATCH suggested that
such information was calculated to make
the lambs take fresh grip on their wool
i Is known fact that when Mr.. Gould is
troubled by failing health, the tonic he
most needs is an all-round shearing. The
Bhearing came off last week, and fully
vindicated the pertinence of the sugges-
ton
The leverage used i'm Kidding the incau-
Tlous spectators and investors around
Wall street of their surplus funds was Mr..
G0uld's control of his Western railroads.
For some time Mr.. Gould had been talk
ing Of the wonderful prosperity of the
West, and the golden harvest in view for
his railroads; while it was confidentially
impaired to the public that the Missouri
Pacific dividend would keep right
along. But when the meeting of that
corporation was held, it was found
that there were not funds on
hand TO pay a dividend, and that
this is no good time to pursue the old
time Gould policy of borrowing money to
pay dividends. Consequently the market

Governor Pattison's call of the State
Senate to-inqUire whether cause exists for
the removal of the Auditor General and
State Treasurer is a very grave step. The
evidence brought out by the joint legisla-
tive investigating committee has, how
ever, been serious enough to jus
rify it. Criminal prosecutions have
been blocked by the refusal of
Convict Bardsley to testify. Hints
Of the most scandalous nature have been
obtained in black and white from letters
written by one of the officials to be inves-
tgated. The public has a right to know
how its affairs have been conducted. The
light should be turned on. If McCamant
and Boyer are guilty of the charges the
Governor cites they should be removed.
If they are innocent the quicker their
names are cleared the better
The Governors request that the Attor-
Ley General he allowed to aid the investi-
eating committee, which sits again to-mor-
row, is also commendable The facts are
not coming out easily. All the witnesses
are not willing. One of them is out of the
State, and fears are expressed he will not
come back. The committee needs all the
assistance it can get.
On the face of it the news from
Harrisburg is very pleasing, but, un-
fortunately, it cannot be divested of
political significance. A vigorous cam
paign is just beginning and the
party which Governor PattiSon leads is
expected to profit by the inquiry. But its
partisan purpose is not likely to
be realized The Senate is Repub-
iican, and as such will not readily
lend itself to measure intended
for that party's discontinue. In that
event $40 900 Of the States money will
have been expended for naught Voters
will not be influenced in any case. The
candidates upon the ticket now in the
field were in no way connected with the
scandals. Like all good citizens they are
anxious to have dishonesty in public places
punished. They will not suffer for the
sins of others.

DEATHS OF A DAY.
Charles II. Paulson, Jr.

It was with deep regret that large circle
of sincere friends learned yesterday of the death of
Charles H. Paulson, Jr., the unexpected result Of
q comparatively brief II lness. Mr.. Paulson was
not only one Of the brightest and active of the
young business men of Pittsburg, and connected
with one of the city's Oldest mercantile houses
that of Pauson Bros, but he was personally held
in the highest estimation and the life which cut
short at 81 gave the highest promise ofutty and of
good influence in the community. To the respected
family to which deceased belonged there goes out
at this time the deepest sympathy from all quarters
in their bereavement There was no finer specimen
of physical manhood than deceased. His manners
and conversation gave evidence of gentle affec-
tionate disposition, coupled with normally fine
mind A sad domestic af1iction. the loss of loved
sister, Miss Jennie Paulson, In the Johnstown food
two years ago, cast . shadow upon the spirits of
the deceased. Though he temporarily recovered,
the effects Of the shock were never entirely re-
moved. Mr. Paulson. however, was seemingly
never in better health than before leaving trip
TO Europe this summer. Soon after his return he
became i'll ;and a week ago went under medical
treatment. He sank rapidly. and Yesterday morn
ing death ensued. The funeral services will take
place Monday afternoon at O'Clock from the resi-
dence of the brotherin-law of the deceased, Mr.H.

The People Will Not Be Misled on the
Facts During the Present Year.
Chicago Inter ocean.1
The difference between the campaigns Of
1890 and 1891 in Ohio, chiefly, is this, that in
1890 Democratic falsehood helped the free
trade cause, while in 1891 it is doing it injury.
This is due to Republican preparation for
prompt refutation of Democratic untruths.
In 1890 the Republicans were wholly unpre-
pared to resist the torrents of lies that
flowed from Democratic sluices. The Wild
est stories of"high prices on account of the
tariff were put into circulation, ard very
frequently illustrated by object lessons.
This was the case with the tin plate false
hood, which not only was circulated by
word of mouth and through the columns of
the press, but was exemplifled by hired
tramps who attended the county fairs and
made noisy speeches concerning their stock
of tinware, which they freely admitted was
40 per cent higher than last year; that the
advance was all on account of the Mckinley
bill, which has made everything higher
"You had better buy now" said they, "for
in II month it will be still higher. It's bound
to go up; on account of the new tariff, you
know" Thus these hired rogues fooled the
people. This kind OF thing won in 1890, but
It will not win in 1891.

those uncharitable enough to hint that
Mr.. Gould had large line of shorts'out,
and now enjoys decided improvement OH
health from the contemplation Of con-
siderable accession to his bank account
from the money of the public.
Of course, this simply illustrates how in
the combination of railroad management
and speculative manipulation all things
work together for good to those on the in
side. Mr. Gould's idiesyncrasies have
been public history for nearly genera
ton, but they are successful as usual, and
manifest themselves with greater or less
eclat about each year. 1t is to be hoped
that some time in the next century people
will learn that when a great capitalist
combines the business of railway manage
ment and Wall street operations, the only
way to best him is to put their money into
good real estate or sound savings banks.

Queen Liltuokalani's Subjects Would Like
to Annex to Uncle sam.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28.-Ex-AttorneyG Gen.
eral Thurston, OF Hawaii, speaking today of
the projects for the annexation of the
islands Co this country, said: There is
deep underlying sentiment in Hawaii in
favor of annexation to the United States.
Even the native Hawaiian paper Kd-Seo Is
pronounced IN fits favor. It would
be going too far to say that the
sentiment as a whole is in favor of
annexation, but there is q very strong
lieved that so far as the sugar business is
islands under benefit OF the bounty law. Our
sugar interests have been so demoraiized by
the Mckinley bill, involving as it also does
our labor problem, that there is a feeling
that something must be done.
"1t Is not thought that annexation Of the
islands would be in any way IN IN
fringement OF the Monroe doctrine. Hawaii
is directly in the path from San Francisco
to the Occident and straight line
drawn from the end of the proposed route
of the Nicaragua Canal to Kong Kong
strikes the island square in the center. I
sec by papers l have received and have
learned from correspondence from the
Islands, together With conversations with
persons just ARRIVED from there that the
sentiment for annexation is growing and
there seems to be a definite opinion that it is
certain to come. The statement that the
Queen Liliuokalani Is favoring the English
in any way is an error.
