DIFFERENCE AMONG SAINTS.

We regret to learn that all Of the Populst
brethren do not dwell together in unity. In a
party composed Of mere politicians, bloodsuck
ers. goldbugs. mlnions, creatures OF capital and
such like beings. a faction fight Is nothing to be
wondered at. II Is the most natural thing in the
world that men who play politics for what there
is in II should now and then have bitter strife
with other men who want the same thing out OF
1t that they do. Cleveland won the Presidency
Hill wanted 1t. No need 10 seek further for

Brookfeld was not subservient. Anybody could
have guessed what would happen. Nobody ex-
poets anything different from the old parties A
quarrel now and then keeps things lively among
them without doing any harm. But II Is differ
ent with prophets engaged in an unsefsh mis-
sion for the people oppressed by the tyrannical
rule Of politicians, who are found squabblng

rainfall by statute law

mission. He is not dominated by ignoble pas
sions like other people who engage in public az

peace and had warfare only with the powers Of
evil Therefore. we regret to learn Of the hap

People who delight IN statistics and compar-
sons may find certain satisfaction in the fact
that by the official records 1t was not so hot by
two degrees yesterday as on July 81 year ago.
It Is O poor satisfaction at the best. since the
discomfort caused by heat cannot be accurately
measured by the thermometer. Humidity is Il
large factor in IT, and this reached high point
yesterday. Fortunately, thousands were able 10
mitigate the suffering caused by heat and
humidity by fleeing to the waterside resorts
which abound within easy reach of the metrop-
oils. In the evening came welcome shower,
which at least cleared the air and cooled the
superheated pavements, II it did not greatly
lower the temperature. Hot weather Is to be
looked for at this season in the natural order Of
things. but thus far the summer as a whole has
dealt ieniently with us.
