NATURES AVERAGE.

In the great northwest and in DOT tions of the United States the other side of the Mississippi river forest fires are raging and much destruction of valuable timber has resulted, in addition to the destruction of homes and some farm products. The tenn perature keeps up to the summer mark and rain has not fallen for many weeks. IA drought extends over a wide area of the country and streams are drying up and late grass is burning in the fields.
 These conditions are not unusual, yet they are none the less to be de- plored. The summer cf 1897 was for the greater part most enjoyable. The periods of intense heat were few and far between and in the early weeks the rainfall was unusual Now it is that nature is striking an average of temperature and rain prec D .tation. The average of both for the year has to be reached in some way. The heat that did not come during the summer months is now prevailing and the rain that fell four months ago cannot fall now, But the crops have been harvested and the fruits have been gathered. Thus the loss by the drought at this time and iby the for est and prairie fires will prove less destructive than if these elements of destruction had come month or two ago. The wonderful process of strik- ing an average bears hard upon those who are caught. It is an old story, but it is one that no one ever cares to read. There is suffering in some parts of the country. but taken as a whole the average of comfort and prosperity is excellent

WE. ARE ALL RIGHT.

Now we are told by an English pub ncation that the queen of England was very much grieved at the ''atti- tude of the United States eighteen months ago. and that it is no secret that Victoria, who has made close "holds pessimist;c views in regard to the stability and future of the repub- hc."
 Queen Victoria should not waste her energies in gloomy forebodings concerning this country She has reached a time in her life when opti- mistic and not pessimistic should be her state of mind. She has, in the or dinary run of events, but few years more to live Under the nest mnfa- voUable conditions the American re- public, known as the United States, could not be expected to disintegrate and fall apart during her lifetime. Thus it is a matter that should give her no concern, and there is no oc- casion for any wakefulness She has enough to worry about in India for instance.
 The American republic has come to stay. It has survived many trials and trirbulations during the one hun dred and twenty-Cne years that have elapsed since the declaration of in- dependence, and it may be expected fJo af ooctf !, more. The United States, considered as child of England, has long since outgrown pantaIettes and knee brooches. It has gone beyond the period of youthful exuDerance It has reached its manhood and is growing larger and stronger every day. It has no mother country now; it is moth CT itself, and Q father, too, for that matter
 The United States passed safely Fhrongn a 1iutle war with Great Brit aiR early in the century and it escap- d dissolution after four years of such fighting as the world never saw be- fore-and which is ito be hoped will never be seen again; 1t put down an instruction of strikers and idlers twenty years ago; it dispersed the mob idhat attempted to stop the com merce of a continent in 1894; it met anld defeated the popocratic combina- tion of 1896; and it has at sundry and divers times, met issues of a character that would hIave made the most stable monarchy tremble, if not fall entire ly. There have been revolutions here. and there may be others, but they are peaceful revolutions, and lthe integrity of the Union is not jeopardized.
 The people of the United States have learned much and they do not propose to stand in their own way to the extent of putting the life of the republic in danger. The republic is built upcm a rock and it will outlast every one of the monarchies of Flu rope.
