One OF the most foolish of all the
silly statements that have been made
by "Wiggins." of Canadian nOtOriety,
Is that In regard to evaporation from
the great lakes. He Is quoted rs say
ing that the mir passing over the lakes
IL unable to reload with vapor from
them, the alleged reason being that
"there Is no electricity In the air, and
without 1t the humidity will not rise"
lie prctends to think that the telegraph
ana telephone wires which cross tho
path Of the air current reaching the
lakes from the Southwest abstract the
electric energy of that air, SO that It Is
unable to take up vapor from the wa
tiers. II he understood the conditions
about which he discourses thus alb
surdly he would know that the process
of evaporation from a water surface
depends on the temperature ana rela-
tive dryness OF tho air, anu that there
Is good reason to believe the process
Is a cause Of electrical excitement, not
one of Its effects. 1t Is astonishing that
any one should suppose such claptrap
nonsense as that attributed TO Virgins
Is worthy of being distributed to the
world as "news."

REFLECT Mr.. PEABODY.

Every good Democrat will join with
us In the hope that Frank y. Peabody
Will reconsider his publicly announced
intention Of retiring from the presi-
dcncy OF the Democratic central or
ganization.
Men like Mr.. Peabody are too few In
either the Democratic or Republican
party.

leisure. he has had enough manhood
and principle In him to step into the
ranks Of his fellow partisians and take
an honest mans part In the shaping OF
his country's government. No base I'M"

aristOcratic home or the manifold duties

ness to mingle In the affairs Of the pub

feared that he would carry too much
Of the blue-noscd principles of Evans
ton!sm into the management OF the
Democratic party for Its good, but all
Of these fears and apprehenslons have
been proven unfounded and unjust.
Broad-guaged, frank and open-heart-
ed, Mr.. Peabody has proven himself n
Democrat Of Democrats. While pre-
serving all the qualities that his fine
family surroundings and splendid edu'
cation gave him, he has mt the same
time been urbane, gentlemanly and al
ways considerable towards his col
leagues In the political field, no matter
what their social state or condition
may have been.

gotten respectful II not deferential at
