Averaging the Weather,
Erom tho PIT

The weather prophets of the goosebone
and muskrat school insist that We shall
have long and severe winter AS they
always do that, the prediction would not be
very weighty. But 1t is reinforced by those
who predict from averages and insist that
the weather must<even up for the excess
of temperature SO far this year. The doc.
trine of averages is all right but who can
What is the guarantee that last summer
will not be compensated for by cool sum-
mer next year, or, for that matter, are the
prophets of that school quite certain that
the two summers past were not restoring
the average for the cold seasons preceding
them?

Pushing Germany Hard.
From the Philadelphia Record,

Apprehensions of the dangerous compe-
tition of saccharine. the chemical sweet ex.
tracted from coal tar, are again manifest
ing themselves among the beet sugar pro-
ducers Of Europe. A consular report states
that Notwithstanding law of Germany re.
stricting the sale of saccharine, the prod
uct last year was equivalent in sweetness
to $4,000 tons Of sugar, replacing the sale
of that amount Of refined sugar and caus-
ing loss of nearly 81 500 600 in taxes to
the German treasury An effort will be
made In the reichstag to impose a heavy
tax on saccharine and to- require it to be
sold only az a-druE.

Boston appears to feel hurt that Colorado
whose entire population is less than her
own should be allowed two senators while
she has none But then all the larger
states may make similar point. 1t is by
this concession to inequality, however. that
the federation of the states was secured In
the first instance and cemented afterward
Ideal arrangements constantly thus capitu-

Insist Upon Public Cleanliness.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger

Queen Victoria's husband died of typhoid
fever, the result of bad sanitation at the
royal palace carelessness in preparing
the royal food. The Prince of Wales also
suffered from it, and the Car of Russia
is now Ill of the same disease, thought to
have been contracted by drinking impure
water. Typhoid is one of the dirt dis
cases. but even royalty cannot always in
sure perfect cleanliness in the service of its
household. How important, then, that
public cleanliness. especially in large cities,
should be insisted on by the community in
order that the chances of typhoid or dirt
poisoning by personal or other carelessness
may be reduced to a minimum

From Harpers Weekly.
Rather more than any man who has oc-
cupied the presidential office in our day
and generation may Mr.. Mckinley regard
himself as holding his commission from the
people irrespective Of partisan bias in
stead of from a party organization, and we
incline to the opinion that no one more
clearly recognizes this fact than Mr. Nc
kinlsy himself. His supporters were men
of many and widely differing political
creeds united in his cause against a COM
mon foe, and for that reason the President
has national rather than a party man
date, which places him in a position of COM
manding power and influence for good. That
he will grasp the opportunities presented by
this fortunate circumstance, and will give
to the affairs of the nation for the four
years to come the faithful attention and
intelligent direction which the complications
ahead OF us require. the experience of the
past gives US the right to predict with con-
fidence.

Twentieth Century Furnaces.
From the Chicago Times Herald.

Recent designs in furnaces and automa tic
stokers reveal such gratifying progress In
solving the problem Of smoke abatement
as to encourage the belief that the Smoke
less city is not altogether d dream. but a
possibility of the twentieth century. In
fact, If We may judge from the progress
already made in perfecting devices for the
consumption of smoke, there will be no ex-
cuse for tolerating the smoke nuisance
for another decade.
There are abundant and gratifying indica-
tons that If the twentieth century is not a
"smokeiess century it will be the fault
of inefficient municipal governments and
not the fault of the scientists

Well smile and sing till Congress comes
When Congress comeS-ah, then We'll heal
The Weakening echoes far and near!

Where each one tries to talk the most
Again will quench our spirits gay!
