The Weather.

There is great complaint Of warm
weather, and it is not the first time
the complaint has been heard. From
the time when one Of the stranded and
reckless inhabitants remarked to old
man Noah that there would not be
much of food anyway the weather
has been the subject of the freest
comment, The girls and the boys
chatter about it, and the old people
find in it their only refuge from poll
tics and theology.
Thus, when you hear a man say
that the weather is very warm, it is
an easy matter to smile and say that
summer for many years, has been the
warmest of all seasons. Why this is
SO we can not say. That it is an I'M
natural condition of affairs all must
admit, for why should there be warm
weather in summer and cold weather
in winter? Why shouldn't these
conditions be reversed? Why
shouldn't we have freezing weather
in summer and blazing hot weather
in winter?
This woald put an end to the worry
of some of the professional croakers
and complainers, but it would doubt
less build up another contingent OF
chatterers WHO would straightway
begin to declare that we ought to
have hot weather in summer and cold
weather in winter. If we could be
we'll when we are sick and sick whcr
we are we'll there would still be dis
satisfaction, though now it ought tc
be the highest ambition OF dyspeptie
and croaker to be we'll when he's sick
But so it is. We cannot hav.
what we want, and we do not wan
what we have. We were sure tina
last summer was the hottest we ha,
ever had since Adam fell out of tn
apple tree and broke his word. Nov
we are sure that this summer is th
hottest, especially these long days
when the man in the moon is com
PEELED to use the flying clouds a
handkerchiefs.
And yet how easy to remember tia
it is all in a lifetime-that present.
the cool days will begin to dawn o
US and the colder nights to fall, an
so we shall drift to tho colder an
darker days when old people call &c
extra blankets and also remark tht
the Fireplace is not giving out 6
much warmth this year as it did las
Meanwhile, thoughtful poop
should bear in mind that all season
are the Lords, whether hot or col
or wet or dry, and that the people
the earth are in His hands.

The Science of the Rascally.

l.
From n. 0. States
Senator Tillman continues to COM
mand our serious attention, if not our
admiration for the ''true, the beautiful
and the good" He said the other day
that while opposed on general princi-
pies to high tariff taxation; yet since
the game hal become general and
indiscriminate scramble of thieves, he
was re olvel that South Carolina
should have her share of the swag.
That is correct on the principles
that commonly govern highway rob
bers and pirates. Every fellow in the
gang wants his share, and if he
doesn't get it he raises row. Tillman
has made several of his fellow thieves
quite uneasy already, especially those
of them whom the Suga.; Trust car
ries around in its pockets, and we
watch the dispatches quite eagerly
every morning with the expectation
Of seeing how he has again stirred
Mr.. Vests parliament of monkeys.
Senator Tillman has unquestiona-
bly, defined politics, or rather legisla
ton, as it is practiced in the American
Congress. It has been described as a
bargain counter ever which Senators
scrap and trade on the interests of
their constituents. Senator Tillman
! defines it more accurately. It is a
game among thieves, each thief trying
to grab the biggest pile.
| The American Senate is no longer
an arena wherein great statesmen and
patriots debate pubic questions, and
seek to advance the glory and inter,
ests of their common country. 1t is
a club-room wherein the little, puny
machine politicians and demagoguos
that disturb wards and cities anc
states with their little silly scheme:
and policies, and when they get to
Sether the cry is that raised by thu
jackass when he was dancing with tn
chickens in the barnyard, LET ever,
fellow take care of his own toes
Politics has often been described a
the science of the practicable. Tha
is correct. But we have never, unit
recently, heard politics described a
J "the science of the rascally." Sena
: tor Tillman, by close oh ervation an
keen reflection, however, has disco1
cred the truth and has given us tn
: definition of Repub,icanism, and als<
we are forced to say, Southern Den
ocratic politics-the Science of th
Rascally, or the science of rascals.

The report of the Fourth Assistant
PostmasterGeneral shows that the
largest gain in the number of post
offices in any one State during the
last year has been in Mississippi,
where the increase was eighty-three
This growth should indicate that
Mississippi is increasing more rapidly
than usual in population, and that
the prosperity of her counties is
shown in the greater number and
greater population of their commun-
tiles.
