THE extreme degree of cold about
New York, accented by immense masses
OF Ice in the North and East rivers, in
the sound and in the narrows, is said 10
be almost unprecedented. The truth is
that, during the past three or four
decades: the wintsrs had been steadily
growing milder in the state OF New
York ard adjoining territory. The
writer's father was born near Schenecta-
dy in the year 1793-exactly one hun
dred years ego. In those days the
Hudson was often frozen at Albany for
three or four months at time. Huts
were built On the massive ice and the
young people would hold nightly dances
in them, while merry slcighing parties
raced the whole length of the river.
Cooper, in one OF his novels, notes this
circumstance. The blizzard OF March,
1883, was different affair altogether.
1t was sporadic and capricious. The
present visitation seems to be return
to an old cycle.

THE death of Hon. Greed Raymond,
which occurred yesterday, takes from
the politics and the bar of California q
man of marked talent in many lines.
As political speaker he ranked with
The Edgertons and Fitches of the Re-
publican and with the Fergusons and
Marshalls of the Democratic party. He
stood very high as lawyer, both as an
advocate and counselor. His legal re-
sources were for years highly valued by
the Pacific railway msgnates, who re-
quired a man OF his consummste in
genuity and dash in order to carry off
many OF their measures. His sugges-
tions were invaluable and his skill Of
fence something altogether out of the
common. Commencing as Democratic
Hotspur,'he wound up as Republican.
Ia personal intercourse he was very
charming, and he had few superiors as
raconteor, result naturally flowing
from his extended knowledge of men
and things and his vivacity OF imagina-
ton. He was known in every croes-
roads of California and will be generally
mourned.

A BosroN dispatch gives the following
account of most interesting incident in
General Buffers career as a fighting
lawyer. 1t shows how he fought every
thing, and is not only interesting now
to the whole public, but would be read
with profit by lawyers and business
men independent of the dramatic coin
cidence of its occurring just before the
generals death:
In 1886 A. G. Woodworth and H. H.
Hale made a note for $l2 800 payable to
General Butler, which the latter had
discounted through a broker by the
plaintiff bank. When the note became
due it was not paid, and General Butler,
who had indorsed the note, was sued.
He set up several defences. One was
that the note was made on the Lords
day and was invalid. Another was that
national banks cannot buy and sell
notes.
The superior court found against the
general on all points, and the case went
upon appeal to the supreme judicial
court full bench, which today cent down
an opinion affirming the judgment Of
the superior court. The court says that
assuming in favor of the defendant, that
national banks cannot buy and sell notes,
subject on which the Law is conflict
ing; nevertheless, advantage cannot be
taken of the fact by the maker of a note.
The violation of law can be availed of
only in proceedings against bank in
the interest of the public to deprive the
bank of its charter.
AS to the defence that the note was
made on the Lords day, the court says
that even if it was, the present suit is
between the bank and an indorser, and
the indorsoment was not made on the
Lords day. 1t further says that al.
though the date OF the note may be the
Lords day, that that is not conclusive,
for the note may have been delivered on
a subsequent day, which would make it
q good note.

was a remarkably formidable opponent
for any one. He was distinguished
man before the war began, was Cali
fornia's war governor, and had hosts OF
friends everywhere, maugre the unpopu-
larity of some of his associates in busi-
nees. 1t was great thing to have made
euch noble devoir under such circum-
stances. During the last campaign Mr..
White not only proved himself to be
debater OF exceptional force but polit-
icsl organizer of remarkable skill.
Many of his fellow Democrats doubted
the policy of endorsing anybody for
anything, aud they even honestly be-
lieved that, through the Democratic
disgust engendered, there would be
positive Republican gain by such
course. Stephen M. White, however,
steadily leaned to the idea that half
loaf was better than no bread, and the
result Is that he will profit, and the
party in his person, next Wednesday,
by the vote of many of the Populist
candidates who have been endorsed by
the Democracy. There is an almost
universal feeling throughout the state,
which is largely shared by Republicans
OF hitherto hidebound characteristics,
that the young tribune deserves the
senatorial togs. His advent in the SEN
ate of the United States will emphasize
the fact that on the Pacific coast we
have political tacticians and debaters
that are the peers of any in the land.

A COLUMBUS IN SCIENCE.


The Title Given to Professor Buchanan
for His Work.
The lecture of Professor Buchanan at
Illinois hall Thursday evening was ad-
dressed to a very large, intelligent and
appreciative audience. He was hand
somely introduced by Judge Cheney as
the Columbus of new world of science,
whose wonderful discoveries, recognized
by leading thinkers, were worthy of the
most profound attention.
In well-written and lucid discourse,
ernphaticaily delivered and cordially re-
ceived, he illustrated the existence of
vast realms OF unexplored science, in
comparison with which present knowl-
edge is small indeed. The limitIees i'm
mensities of future astronomical science
and future progress in electricity already
foreshsdowed by the marvellous discov.
cries OF Tesla were grand indeed, but all
physical science was only the dead and
cold foundation of the temple of knowl-
edge and wisdom, to which his life had
been devoted; for the powers that move
and rule the universe are not material.
The realm OF force is beyond the realm
of matter, and that realm OF forcs Is
governed by the realm of life, of will, of
consciousness, wisdom, love and happi-
ness, for which the dead material Of the
universe exists.
He briefly refuted the prevalent ma
terialism of the schools of scien ce, and
told how, as medical student about 60
years ago, he rebelled against the false
science that ignored the brain and the
soul and taught physiology while ig-
noring the master organ of the body,
understanding neither it's anatomy nor
it's physiology, nor its psychology.
Condemning scornfully this accepta-
tion, physiology, comparing it to
brainless monstrosity, he gave glimpse
of his own drawing Of the functions of
the brain in 1S41, which he had since
been teaching in medical colleges, which
solved the previously unsolved myHtef-
les of human life, and after illustrating
the new world of science thus devel-
oped, he took for one example of, the
new world of science the discovery in
man in the interior of the brain, and
near the septum lucidum, of organs for
the manifestation of those higher pow
ers which have been the mysterious
wonder of all ages, out of which comes
clairvoyance, animal magnetism, mirsc-
ulous healing, trance, hypnotism, spir-
itualism, inspiration and prophecy.
These things, which have been myster-
les, he had made plain and practical by
reaching their foundation in the brain
and discovering the widespread ex
istence in man of faculties which need
only cultivation to lead him into realms
of knowledge heretofore inaccessible.
He mentioned many striking exam
pies OF prophecy in modern times; re-
ferred to the endorsement of prophecy
by the French academy of medicine at
Paris, and the wonderful prophecy of
Gazette, revealing the fate of the en-
inent victims of the French revolution.

THR IMMIGRATION QUESTION.

That this is great country, with
widely diversified interests and conflict
ing opinions on many questions of gen.
eral policy, has been 80 often shown
lately that it has not only troubled aid
torn political parties but it has dis-
turbed the dreams of some Of our pub
licists and philosophers.
And no one question has brought out
various sectional interests more clearly
than the proposition. to stop or mate
rally restrict immigration. California
has taken no definite ground in the
matter, being content to confne her
serious thoughts to the one main effort
and purpose to keep out Cinnamon.
She knows that the eastern statee will
furnish her the best supply of men and
women, both of native and foreign
stock, for the settlement and develop
ment of this coast, and she has not to
deal directly with the great tide of inn
migration at ali in the sense that the
states bordering upon the Atlantic must
do.
The people of the far east appear to
be practically united in the attempt to
close their ports against the bulk OF
foreigners, not even the manufacturers
seriously objecting, partly, perhaps, be-
cause it shows too plainly their policy
as to cheap labor. OF course, what
gives especial vim and emphasis to this
movement just now is the honest fear of
the cholera, which would not only be a
general calamity, but would make the
great worlds fair a sure and dismal
failure. Thus is added dread and dis
may to the ordinary and growing belief
that the whole east is being greatly
injured by the bringing to these shores
OF such masses OF unproductive and
dangerous persons as are sure to come
along with the worthy and deserving
ones.
But while the east is united and Just
now compacted together by unusual
circumstances, the papers of the lower
Mississippi valley and of the newer west
are finding their voices to protest against
any legislation on the subject euch as
has been proposed. The Kansas City
Star and two or three other pushing and
aggressive advocates of that regions in
terests have raised notes of warning
These journals claim that the only way
to bring into use the wide area OF farm
ing lands is to encourage immigration
in all possible ways. Further north and
west the feeling is running still stronger,
and Senator Chandler's recent magazine
manifesto ia most vigorously attacked.

THE CHRONICLE AND "DEAR pARD."

There is something very tender in the
compliments which the Chronicle is en-
gagged just now in paying to Governor
Markham on the strength of the David
and Jonathan love which exists between
California's executive and Col. Dan
Burns. The Chronicle is the paper
which, during the Markham Pond cam
paign. always strenuously denied the
authenticity of the "Dear Pard' letter,
and hurled epithets on any one who
could have the presumption to assert
that Markham could ever, under any
circumstances, do the things suggested
in that now immortal screed. Presto
change! The Live paper" is now pour
ing the most caustic yituperatjon upon
the owner of the hypnotic fist" Such
are some of the mutations the whirligig
of time brings about! "And what" it
may be asked, ''is the secret of these
strained relations ?" The answer is very
simple. The governor, having removed
Registrar Brown, according to the Chron-
icle he is about to appoint Dan Burns
brother-in-law that officials successor.
Here is gall and wormweod for Mr.. NJ.
H. De Young. 1t is owing to the skill,
persistence and personal influence of
Burns that the Non-Partizan organiza-
ton was formed. 1t was largely due to
his cunning, fnesse snd indefatigsble
efforts that these same Non-Partizans
endorsed 30 many of the Democratic
nominees for the legislature in San
Francisco; and it was owing to those
endorsements that we had an earthly
show of figuring in either house of the
legislature. Mr.. De Young knows we'll
the hand that laid him low: and as Dan
Burns cares no more fer all the scolding
the Chronicle can direct against him
than duck does for douche OF spring
water, the wrathy editor tries to get
even on Markham, whom he regards
as probably more sensitive to a good
roasting" than Burns. But he may be
mistaken in that. Markham in his
time has shown a good deal of i'm
perturbability, and this quality cropped
out in that very "Dear Pard" letter.
The Democrats did their best to make
him vince on that delicate subject, but
without avail. We have grave doubts
as to whether the Chronicle will be
successful.
