Some smart fellow" in England made
discovery recently in his own mind that
bad weather. with excessive rainfall.
came around once in every nineteen
years. He had ascertained, or perhaps,
he was old enough to remember, that 1860
and 1879 gave us cold, wet, and gloomy
summers" So when he found the same
sort of weather in 1898 he Immediately
decided that IL was a kind of nineteen
year locust. Unfortunately for him. the
Farmer Dunn Of London, Arthur w. Pres
ton, fellow OF the Royal Meteorological
Society had access TO weather records
extending back TO 1865 or further. and he
promptly decided that If any one had a
nineteen-year cycle II ought to work
backward as well as forward. So he pro-
ceeded to examine the records, and he
found that the theory was built on sand.
Here are few of his notes:
1S22-This was known as 1.-THE Charm
Ing Year" Eleven-twelfths OF the year
were remarkable for continued warmth.
Great heat prevailed in the middle OF
May, June was very dry, July less fine
and warm, but harvest commenced early
in the month. and August was fine and
hot. Fine weather continued until Oc-
tober 18th CWhistlecrafO. Rainfall at
Sunbury, Middlesex: April, 2s2 inches:
May, l.46 inches; June, 054 inch; July, 2.70
inches; August. L32 inches; September,
LIZ inches Cove.
ls3.-The principal feature of this season
was drought of several weeks duration,
and the general produce, though good.
was not large (Baker). Very hot and dry
summer (Brunham). Rainfall at Sunbury.
Middlesex: April, 1.5l inches; May, l.73
inches; June. 4H inches; July, 0.Ss inch:
August. LA inches; September, 0.Gl inch

1165.-The summer was remarkable for
its heat and dryness. and all vegetation
being influenced by their effects, brought
forth fruits and flowers In unusual per-
lection Knapp. A very dry summer, and
often very hot (Brunham).
These facts seem 20 upset the nineteen
year theory. II Is now time for Virgins
and Totten to speak up

CLEVELAND'S VIEWS,

On Tuesday last eX-President Cleve-
land delivered the annual address of the
commencement exercises of the Law
renceville IN. j. School. His subject was
Good Citizenship" and he touched upon
the New American Policy" as General
Merritt termed the expansion movement.
Among other things bearing on this
question Mr.. Cleveland said:
"The American people are tempted
every day and every hour to abandon their
accustomed way and enter upon a course
of new and strange adventure. Never be-
fore in our history have we been beset
with temptations so dangerous as those
which now whisper in our ears alluring
words of conquest and expansion and
point out TO us fields bright with the glory
of war"
Again. after setting forth the mission
of this government to be the subsection
to civilization and Industrial occupation
of the vast domain in which it has taken
root, the speaker added:
IF. then, the suggestion is made that
the time has come for our nation to
abandon its old landmarks and TO follow
the lights of monarchical hazards, and
that we should attempt TO employ the
simple machinery of our popular and do
nestle government to serve the schemes
of Imperialism, your challenge Of the
proposition is entirely in order"
AS is well known, Mr.. Cleveland and
ourselves are wide apart on many things.
As to some of the policies OF his last adj
ministraton there is nothing in common
between us, and we can look with no de-
gree of complacency upon hts course to-
wards the Democratic party in the last
presidential campaign. None the less the
words we have quoted from his Princeton
address are 10 be commended to the
earnest consideration of all thoughtful
men. They constitute most timely
warning.

nov SOLDIERS.

The patriotism OF Americas small boy
knows no bounds. There Is nothing lac
would not do for his country, and Yet
his country does not call him. In every
Juvenile breast the fires OF military ardor
are blazing, and the street-cars can
hardly move through our thoroughfares
without scattering a platoon Of youngsters
who are playing soldiers" Always
there is one master spirit who assumes
the captaincy, and behind him follow the
other urchins. erect in carriage and grim
ly pugnacious. Long after tea-time these
knIcSerbockered warriors parade the
streets with Haunting banners and wea-
pons OF wood. aud ofttlmes maternal
taps" are disregarded In the excitement
Of the hour. But so far the Arkansas
youngster has broken the record for pa
triotism.
Recently five Little Rock boys, regard
less Of prospective spankIngs and other
direful consequences, left their homes 10
follow the First Arkansas Regiment into
camp. For several days these wicked
little patriots were noticed In and out
among the tents, but il was supposed that
they were residents of the neighborhood.
One day IL leaked out that the juvenile
quintette had stolen away from home.
and preparations were made to return
them to their parents. Meantime one or
the boys became very i'll. and il was soon
discovered that he was suffering from
pneumonia. He was placed in the regi-
mental hospital, and doubtless, ere he
recovered. his parents consented to spare
him the punishment he would otherwise
have received. History does not tell us
what became of his four companions.
but IT is safe TO assume that they are
now eating their meals off the manrel-
pieces in their homes.
But what, oh! what are spankings TO
boys like these? In their puerile world
they are heroes, and for years hence they
will be looked up TO and admired. No lad
will dispute their superiority. Every
urchin In Little Rock will allow them to
take bite" of his apple, and every
surreptitious smoker will give them
draw" from his cigarette. 1t is boys like
these who cause their parents TO become
prematureIy gray. But it is likewise such
lads who get to be bank presidents and
statesmen ard philanthropists. We en-
dorse the small boy, and wish him well.
We likewise feel more comfortable when
he is out OF our neighborhood.

Broad streets. az least. When the citi-
zeas Of Richmond become familiar with
ca-cfully-kept streets. they will never
consent TO have any other sort. And We
can have such streets II we work FOR
them as we did for new sidewalk on
Ninth street and for tramp ordinance!
II ought to be the constant aim Of this
community 10 keep It's streets not only in
good condition for travel. but so clean as
20 create n favorable impression upon all
visitors here. Now the impression Gre
a,ed at times must be anything but Ia
vorsble.
The stranger will say. 'If their chief
thoroughfares are so ill-kept what must
be the condition OF their back etreets?'
The remedy Is in our own hands; we
only need TO arouse and apply It. That
remedy IS public opinion.

WHERE WE LACK PRIDE.

our streets continue to be disngured
and disgraeed by quantities Of waste
paper which are allowed to lie on our
SIDEWALKS and roadways.
Some effort is made TO carry out the
city ordinance on the subject, but as the
nuisance is rarely traceabe to any per-
son the penalties of the law cannot he
vigorously enforced.
The paper that lies in front of AS door
may not be tho result of his carelessness,
bu- may have been carried there by The
wind from premises n square or two off.
1t would, therefore, seem that the CO.
operation OF city authorities and house
holders is needed. Each householder
ought to be held to strict accountability
as far as possible but where the duty OF
removing trash paper cannot be placed
upon an individual the city itself should
have some one TO do the work.
For the last five or six years the Dis
patch has felt 1t TO be It's duty to call at
tcntion TO the patent fact that our great
tboroughfares are kept in anything but
pscsentable condition. This was true be-
fore retrenohment was applied TO the
Health Department. and it has been true
since. And we much fear that It will so
continue until our people take more pride
In having tidy streets.
This subject is now receiving attention
from an organization of Richmond ladies'.
we believe. and we trust the Young Mems
Business Association will also direct its
energies TO the same end. In this day aud
generation cities Of the size OF Richmond
are expected 10 have streets such as
Main. Ninth. Tenth. Eleventh. Broad,
\. etc.. swept at least once in twenty-four
hours. oftener than that a cart ana
%sweeper ought 10 pass along them and
gather up the trash paper. which is en-
dowed with immense capacity for making
a street appear unciean.
Whenever the pride OF our people is
sufficiently aroused 10 call for a reform
IN this matter the reform viii come. AT
present. we are sorry 70 say the general
public Is quite Indifferent. IL any one

WILLIAMS OTHER POLICY.

The speech that Emperor William, OF
| Germany, made Monday, at Potsdam, 10
| the Imperial Guard, has elected fieod
| Of criticism and ridicule in this country.
| We'll. il must be confessed that some
| OF the things the Emperor said were cal
| culated 10 CRATE upon American ears,
| although there seems TO be growing over
/ here a decided sentiment in favor of
| Imperialism, and the consequent mill
| tarism William eulogized and his els
| atlantic critics are in such haste to de-
| nounce. At the same time it must be
admitted by ali fair-minded men that
there was a good deal OF truth In the
| young Emperors utterances. He en-
cCuntered false judgment when he was
called to the throne, and he has been en-
countering false judgment ever since, es-
pec!ally on this side OF the water.
What are termed the Emperor's bonn
bastic and War Lord declarations. and
which are doubtless much perverted in
spirit in the process Of translation into
English, are held up TO US as the sole
standard by which it is competent to
Judge Of his character his arms, and his
ambitions. What he has done and IS
still doing to strengthen the military es-
adjustment Of Germany, and foster the
military spirit is constantly paraded, but
Of what he has done and is still doing
along other lines we hear very little.
None the less since William assembled
the throne German manufacturing and
commercial development has been great
er than Il had been for many years pre-
vious Despite the tremendous demand
the army makes upon the resources of
the empire, the nation is distinctly pros
porous. Notwithstanding the incubus Of
militarsm, which is rendered necessary
by Germany's geographical position and
the jealouses and designs Of her neigh
bors, her people are steadily forging
ahead on the highway Of business. Albeit,
the Emperor may keep the empire con-
stantly in 'the shadow Of the mailed
hand" and be welded to the medieval
theory Of the divine right of kings, it
cannot be denied that he has a vigant
eye for Germany's business interests and
pushes German trade vigorously at every
point The new Hansa he proclaimed
when he sent his brother to far Cathay
was not a policy born Of the moment, as
those of other nations who are familiar
with the words 'made in Germany" have
good reason taSmow.
No; whatever mis- faults, William is not
a fool. However unwise, from our stand
point, his speeches on occasions of mill
tary demonstrations, his record, taken by
and through, proves that he is wise
enough TO appreciate that industrial and
commercial progress and prosperity are
to be counted as one of the mainstays
Of the empire, and one of the surest
guarantees against grave political up
heaval. And that he does appreciate
this presents to our mind one Of the
strongest of reasons for discounting all
talk about his interfering in the Philip
pine question. seeing that such a course
could but result in complications between
this country and Germany that would in
terfere most seriously with the EN-
perors policy of trade expansion.

Two Alabaminns-Hobs and Dixon

Charleston News and Courier.)
The Daughters of the Confederacy Of
Montgomery, Ala, are raising fund
with which to purchase a suitable testi-
monal for Lieutenant Richmond Pear
son Hobson, whose recent deed at Sam
tSgo has rightly placed him among the
immortals. We do not begrudge him any
OF the honors that an appreclative coun-
try can bestow upon hm-he is richly en-
titled TO the admiration of all who re-
spect bravery and devotion, and there is
no fear that he will not be rewarded for
his splendid service.
Admiral Sampson has expressed in the
warmest terms his appreciation ''of the
conduct of Mr.. Hobson and his gallant
crew." and said: II venture TO say that
a more brave and daring thing has not
been done since Cushing blew up the AL
bemarle." Commodore Schley, under
whose eye the deed was done. says: His
tory does not record an act Of finer hero
ism than that of the gallant men who
are prisoners over there" and that Hob
sens name will live as long as the he
roes of the world are remembered" The
Secretary OF the Navy has acknowledged
officially the great debt which the ma
ton owes to the gallant young Alaba-
milan; and the President has promoted
him for his meritorious conduct Mo-
thing that the government can do will be
left undone to show in what regard the
brave southern sailor Is held, and his
name and fame will ever fill a shining
place I'm the annals of his country. That
is exactly as it should be; but we fail TO
perceive any special propriety in the
present enterprise OF the Daughters of
the Confederacy of Alabama. Hobson

with him the more the higher the dis
tinction bestowed upon him.

ganized for the purpose OF perpetuatlng
such names and deeds. Why should they
not remember Dixon and his mates, who
have none to care for them? Let them
ask Hobson himself what he thinks OF IL.
He would doubtless far rather that they
should erect a monument to Dixon than
