AS the Alexandria Sun says, the
Democratic party has not only achiev-
ed one of the greatest victories ever
achieved by any political party in this
country, but it has also some of the
greatest questions to handle and to
meet that ever fell to the lot of any
political party. On one issue alone is
the party united, and that is the Force
bill. Every Democrat in this broad
land is opposed to such a measure
But when other questions are reached,
dangers are encountered which only
wise craftsmanship can avert. Every
conceivable view of the currency ques-
ton will have its following in the
Democratic party, and upon the tariff
and pension questions the party will
also be divided. All, however, are in
favor of retrenchment, and yet many
will be disappointed in that respect
1t must come gradually. When it is
that when Mr.. Cleveland
went out of office four years ago he
turned over to the Republican Admin
istration an accumulated surplus of
nearly 500, 100000 and an annual ex-
penditure for pensions of about $780,
600, 900, and that when he resumes the
next March he will en-
counter a deficit of 800, 900, and an
annual pension list of nearly O,OOO,-
600, some idea of the difficulties of the
situation may be obtained. Under
these circumstances, a sudden reduc-
ton of the tariff, however desirable, is
The matter must be
dealt with firmly, but cautiously, and
the reform come in such way as to
avert panic, and to command the ap-
prevail Of the thoughtful everywhere.

degrees. Its motion is northwest one

THE PARTY'S RESPONSIBILITIES
Mr.. Cleyeland's speech Friday at the
Willard dinner indicates a full appre-
citation of the responsibility imposed
upon the democracy by its great sue
cess. The campaign, looking to the
larger results, has but begun. Con-
structive craftsmanship as we'll as self
control are Indispensable. The return
of the democratic party to power must
mean more, says Mr.. Cleveland, than
revealing in spoils of office. There must
be harmonious labor in the interest of
the whole country, else the tenure of
power will be brief and inglorious.
Light upon the perplexities of the
present situation is to be sought, says
the President-elect, in the principles
of Jeffersonian democracy-in de-
votion to the maintenance of the peo-
pies rights.

Too Cold to Snow.

1t is not uncommon to hear persons
remark that it is too cold to snow. 1t
is wonderful that this idea should ex-
list, and that it should be held by SO
many. 1t is contrary both to reason
and observed facts. Snow is but the
congelation of humid vaper, and the
colder it is the more readily it is con-
gealed The quantity of snow is di-
rectly in proportion to the moisture in
the air, and inversely to the ten
perature or directly in proportion to
the degree of cold and the quantity of
moisture. When the air is very moist
and the weather very cold, we have
the deepest SHOWS. Cold air is gen
orally dry air, because the air sustains
moisture in proportion to its tenn
perature, and cold air cannot sustain
much moisture. When moist air,
which is generally warm air, comes in
contact with cold air, then rain or
snow is the consequence, depending on
the degree of the temperature. If the
moist air come in contact with air
simply cold enough to condense the
vapor, but not cold enough to freeze it,
we have rain; but when cold enough
to freeze it, we have sleet, hail, or
snow. When it is cold here, if the
wind should then come from the east
or southeast with it's warm moist air,
snow may be reasonably expected, and
this is the way in which we get most
of our SHOWS. 1t does not snow be-
cause the temperature is moderated,
but the temperature is moderated
chiefly because of the warmer air
brought in contact with the colder,
and to less degree by the heat given
off when the vapor is frozen, which
always takes place when gas is con-
densed to a liquid or a liquid to a solid
and the snow is caused by the congo.
lation of the vapor contained in the
warmer air. Those who think it can
be too cold to snow forget the re-
markable snow-storm we had in
January, 1868, when the thermometer
here to snow, how is it that the region
near the North Pole is covered with
snow, where it is always much colder
than it ever is here 1t can never be
too cold to snow. The air may be toe
dry to snow, but never too cold.
