1884, 1886, 1894, 1895, 1897. The fore
going shows that periods Of extremely
cold weather are not new feature
in the South. The important facts
yet to be discovered and unfortunately
those of which we know the least, re-
late to the frequency and relative Sc
verify of irruptions of cold air from
the North.
Taking Florida as concrete illus
tration, we find that at least five dis
astrous freezes have occurred within
the last 100 years. We are inclined to
the opinion that the first one, viz, that
of 1885, was the most severe. The
State then escaped further visitation
for a period of 81 years, or to Janu-
airy, 1886.
The next period of immunity was
comparatively brief, viz, seven years,
or to December, 1894. Within two
months of the last named date, a Sec
Ond disastrous freeze occurred and
there have been a number of danger
Ously low temperatures since, culmi-
mating in the freeze of February 1874,
1899. The weather conditions east Of
the Rocky Mountains on February IL,
10, Il, 1899, were such as rarely &C.
cur; indeed it is doubtful if a similar
distribution of air pressure and tenn
perature can be found within the his
foru Of tho woo fho1. copuioo
The impression that the climate is
changing is partly due to the fact that
in recent times an account of every
severe frost and freeze that occurs in
the South is sent broadcast to all parts
of the country, whereas, during earl
Ter times no record was preserved ex-
cept of the very severe freezes.
This very lack of information re-
specting the earlier minor freezes pre-
vents us in a measure from asserting
in a more positive manner what ap
pears to be a rule of climate common
to all parts of the United States, viz,
periods of great refrigeration general
ly extend over several years. In sup
port of this assertion as effester Flor
ida, reference is made to the fact that
the great freeze of 1885 was proceeded
by two severe winters, 1880 and
1S31-32, and was Immediately follow
ed by a winter of more average Sc
verify, 1886.
The freeze of 1886 was preceded Dy
a cold spell in January, 1884, (mini-
mum at Jacksonville 81 degrees) and
the temperature fell to % degrees at
Jacksonville in January 1887.
The two freezes of the winter 1894
IS were preceded by a cold wave in
1898, in which the temperature fell to
"a degrees at Jacksonville. All of this
would seem to indicate, as above stat
ed, that cold years are likely to be
followed by years of similar character
separated by one or more warm years,
the complete cycle of events extend
ing over from four to seven years;
but we should not forget that the
data on which this assumption Is
based are rather meagre at best and
that the full solution of the problem
awaits the accumulation of many
years careful observations.
In the meantime it would seem the

GREAT FOR AMERICA.
More Baldwin LOCOMOTIVES Ordered
for Foreign Roads.

Philadelphia, Dec. 21.-The locomo-
tives built and shipped some months
ago by the Baldwin works for the State
railways of France, the first Ameri-
can engines ever run in that country,
have, in the short time they have been
in service, demonstrated their excel
lence to the entire satisfaction of the
French officials. AS a consequence, the
Baldwins have Just been favored with
another order from the State railways
for ten passenger locomotives Of the
Atlantic type, with S4-inch driving
wheels, and similar in design and size
to those in use on the Readings Allan
tic City route. The locomotives are to
be completed by the early summer, so
that they can be used in connection
with the rush of travel to the Paris
exposition. The consolidated locomo-
tives for the Finland State railways
are being completed at the works pre-
paratory to shipment in a few days.
There are also being shipped five
freight engines for the Chicago &
Northwestern railway, two passenger
engines for the Wabash and two for
Denmark. The latter engines are of
the same design and weight as those
previously built at the works for the
Danish State railways.

HIS POSITION JUSTIFIED.

Congressman Mondell states the sim
pie truth when he says he was com
missioned by the people of this state
to uphold honest money. Six months
before the election of 1898 the repub-
licans Of the state, through their county
committees, had declared for the gold
standard, the republican county and
state conventions were not divided up
on the question, and during the cam
paign the lines between honest money
and free coinage of silver were sharply
drawn. At the polls the people rolled
up a handsome majority for the gold
have proved the wisdom of their course
and Mr.. Mondell need offer no apology
for his action.
II there are those who still have
doubts as to the wisdom of enacting
the existing condition into law, lei
them make examination of the report
Of the condition of our state banks, an
abstract of which has just been pre-,
pared by State Examiner Henderson.
On December Is, 1897, the aggregate
resources Of our state banks vas $780,
274.84. On December l, 1898, just afteI
the election of Mr.. Mondell to congress
the aggregate resources of Jul state
banks was $780, 62.S6 A year later
December 2, 1899, the aggregate re-
sources of our state banks had in.
creased to 1895, 704. 20. An increase Of
more than $50 per cent in two years is
q matter worthy of the serious consid.

Republican knows that many demo.
Gratis are making a revision of theil
financial creeds.

sition SO clearly that The Republican

WE ARE SELLING GOLD.

One fact in relation to the eXporta-
ton Of gold at the present time should
be kept constantly in mind. The gold
which we are exporting is gold which
Is bought abroad, and which will have
to be returned to us when the present
urgent need for it in the outside world
passes. Gold importation was expect
ed at this time instead of importation,
We would he having the importation
II the Boer war had not occurred. Ii
will take place just as soon as the pres,
ent furry abroad ends.
Rumor has it that the bank of Eng
land is going to get S100, 000, 900 in gold
from the United States to meet its
present needs. The rumor is probably
untrue, but even if it is true its only
Significance is in the assurance which
it furnishes that the world knows We
are able to supply all Europe's needs in
that direction. There was S946 900 ,00C
of gold in the United States at the be,
ginning of 1899, according to the di-
rector of the mint. This was a gain
of 5000, OOO, 900 over 1898. With such an
immense expansion in the country's
gold stock under way an expectation
of 500, 900, 900 at the present time
would not cause any serious disturb
ance to any legitimate interest.
The Bank of England is buying gold
and as the only country which has il
to spare is the United States that insti,
tuition is getting it here. Nobody knows
how much gold it will want. The es-
ten of the need will depend on the
length of the length of the South Afri-
can war. Until the tide of the war
turns England will be a purchaser OF
gold, and the United States will be a
seller. That American stock of APP
proximately 81. OOO, 000, 900 can stand a
longer and more serious drain han 1t
is likely to be subjected to in this ext
gency. All the gold which we are sell
ing now will come back to us in time.
It's temporary absence will not injure
us. The evidence of the financial So
lidity of the United States which the
world has been getting recently are a
magnificent advertisement for this
country. They are a striking tribute
to the political courage and sanity OF
the republican party. which has added
hundreds Of millions to the country's
gold hoard since 1t entered power In
March, 1897, which has started all the

KILLING AT N
Negro Bad Man Shot by Troy Pendle-
ton, Sunday, Fatally.

Hanna, Wyo., Dec. 25.-A negro nam
ed Lucius Miller, employed at the I'm
ion Pacific grading camp on the Hanna
Dana cutoff, armed himself with a

would kill every man in the camp,
started on his mission. He cracked the
heads Of several graders, and was hav-
ing everything his own way. when he
went to the contractors supply wagon,
where he met Troy Pendleton, a white
man. Pendleton watched his chance,
when he whipped out a revolver and
fired full in the negro's face. Miller
fell to the ground, MORALLY wounded
and died not long afterward. No ar
rest was made, as the shooting was
done in self-defense.

rode deliberately over the lot. and the

ring, preceding the fight, gave an
exhibition before the Assem- bled crowd
