KEEP COOLr

Every hot day to the man with the wiIted
collar and parboiled temper seems the hottest
that ever was AS matter of fact, the heated
term of the last ten days has been an excep-
tonally trying one. 1t would be extravagant
to say it has been the worst on record. There
have been others with higher temperatures,
with greater percentages of humidity and with
longer durations of those evils But this latest
was a trying time beyond all doubt and it may
be repeated, perhaps several times before the
summer is ended. We have not yet reached the
"dog days" It is pertinent, therefore, TO con-
slider the attitude of man toward such unavoid-
able natural conditions, and how best he is to
escape, or at least to mitigate, the plague of ex-
cessive heat
The gist of the philosophy of the case is con-
tained in the trite injunction Keep cool! That
sometimes sounds like mockery or exaspera-
ton. 1t is, however, sound serious and emf
nently practical wisdom. 1t is possible for
many men-we might say for most men-to
keep far cooler than they do. To discard heavy
starched linen shirts and collars in favor of
soft, thin, airy garments; to replace felt hats
with straw or canvas; to abjure hot and re-
bellous liquors. including the countless con-
coctions of soda water with fruit syrups :"
which are conspicuous bane Of modern civ
ilization and freely to drink instead pure water.
or mineral water, or simple carbonated water:
to recognize and TO act upon the fact that a dis
tinction should be made between winter and
summer diet just much as between winter
and summer clothing; TO do as much as pos
sible Of necessary work in the cool Of the morn

sible from labor in the heat of the day-to do
these things is to keep cool.

well physical We are not preaching mind

that mental conduct often bears directly unon
physical condition. The man who frets and
hurries and worries feels the heat far more
than he who takes things easily" The man
who hourly consults his thermometer, and scans
the sky for thunderclouds, and talks about this
being the hottest weather on record, suffers far

SIMMER TEHPERATURES.

The excessive heat which has prevailed dur
ing the last few weeks invites few cOmpari-
sons with that of former years In the first
place, it may be remarked that the Government
thermometer seldom registers 80 degrees In the
metropolis more than six or eight times year
In 1897 it did so only twice. and then not until
September The tally for 1900 up to date stands
thus: Days on which 80 or more was re-
corded-,June, two; July. seven, of which four
were consecutive; total nine Already. then,
the average has been exceeded, with several
weeks yet to hear from.
One need not go far back, however to find
periods of equally or even more continuous
heat In August 1896. there were seven days
in succession when the mercury reached or
rose above the limit here adopted as a standard
OF comparison. And in 1894 the record was
made no less than fifteen times, ten of these
being credited Tor debited) to July. But the
summer of 1894 was highly exceptional in this
respect. 1t is doubtful whether it has been
paralleed since the United States began to
make observations in New-York in 1870
1t also appears from a scrutiny of official
figures for thirty years that an excess of sum
mer heat rarely leaves n conspicuous impress
on the mean temperature of a whole month for
more than two consecutive months. Last year,
for instance May June. August and September
month. Again, in 1898 the means for May,
June and July were normal and those for
August and September in excess. In 1896, the
year in which August had seven particularly
hot days in succession. June, July and Septem-
ber were cooler than usual There are excep-
tions to this rule of course. Once since the
establishment of the National Weather Bureau
every month from May to September, including
both showed a mean temperature above the
average. That was in 1894. In one other year
a marked excess was sustained through four
months. and on three other occasions for three
months at time
Now. the mean temperature for June this
year fully two degrees above the average.
The record for July is not complete, but it can
hardly fail to show a similar or greater excess
for the whole month. Arguing from precedent
merely, there is just one chance in five that
August and September will be abnOrmally hot.
OF course, the gratifying abatement of heat
during the last two or three days may be tenn
pOrary and deusive. More suffering may yet
be in store for us The summer of 1900 may
prove TO be another exception and may not fol-
low the rule. But we have already had more
than our full share of afiiction and if the
clerk of the weather could be influenced by
moral considerations he would perceive that it
is now time to bring his present campaign to
close.

WHY JAPAN DID NOT INTERVENE.

Day by day il becomes more obvious through
coToborative evidence continually accumulat-
ing, that Japan could and would have inter
vened efficiently in China weeks ago for the res
cue Of the foreigners ct Peking, the suppression
Of the revolution and the general restoration of
order had she not been restrained by the hos
ulty Of Russia and, to q less degree, of Ger
many. By hostility we do not mean hostility
to Japan herself so much as to the plan Of her
Intervention. Il is well known that Japan was
ready a month or more ago to put an army OF
one hundred thousand or more men into China
at a weeks notice. Such a force would have
been far more efficient than a composite inter
national force Of equal numbers-even suppos-
ing the latter could have been secured in any
thing like short a time. as of course it could
not, and in fact has not yet been-partly be-
cause It would have been homogeneous and
under a single commander and partly because
the japanese are by nature and by experience
far better fitted for campaigning in China than
are any other soldiers under the sun. But be-
cause Of Russian and German opposition or
unwillingness TO give assent 1t was not to be,
and hence this agonizing delay, with all it's
tragic accessories
True, both Russia and Germany disclaim hav-
ing prevented Japan from sending in troops
They certainly did not employ force to bar her
out. Neither did they in words forbid her to 20
IN. But in diplomatic effect the purport of
their utterances and of their attitude was un-
mistakable Russia, for example insists that
as long ago as June q she gave her assent TO
the plan Of japanese intervention. The fact is
she said she had no objection 10 Japans acting
within the limits OF cooperation. That was
far different from commissioning Japan to act
as the mandatory of the Powers 1t was an
assent 10 Japan's going in pro rata with the
other Powers, as she has been doing. and it was
IOthing more. Ii is, Of course inconceiyable
that such assent as that should not have been
given If indeed IL necessary for ii to be
given or sought at all. II was, moreover inter
preted to mean that while she might spend
money and lives freely IN pulling international
chestnuts out Of the fire Japan must foot her
own bills, get no indemnity and in the end be
entitled 10 no special consideration nor security
against being told brusquely to get out of the
country she had rescued from anarchy. So
while Russia's assent was given II was given to
an immaterial thing, and ii was given on impos-
sible terms.
AS for Germany. her attitude throughout may
She would give her assent If Russia would give
hers, and not otherwise. She valued the unity
of the Powers above all things even above the
rescue Of the legations. She would rather have
the Powers do nothing in complete concert and
have the legations perish than have the lega-
lions rescued in a way not agreeable TO some

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Republican State Committee has decided
on Saratoga as the place and September as
the time for the holding of the State Conven-
ton. This expected and is everywhere
acceptable If to that convention should be
left the actual work of selecting candidates for
State Offices that would be even more accept
able and would arouse to a new enthusiasm
the voters Of this State.
There seems to be a disposition in some quar-
ters to think the immediate nomination of a
candidate for Governor necessary to party well
fare. Without waiting for the formal action of
the convention they wish the matter settled by
caucus of the small body of political leaders,
and they would have the result of this judg-
ment promulgated and all possible rivals of the
predestined candidate warned off or set on the
track Of other offices This appears to us
rather premature. 1t would seem as if the
nominating convention ought to nominate. and
the voters in the districts should have chance
to express their views. Those views in Sep
tember might be exactly the same the views
of the leaders in July-and perhaps they might
not be, If the leaders kept their hands off and
refrained from announcing beforehand that it
was all settled This is not a question of men.
but of method and the preservation of the
habit Of popular representative government in
the Republican party.
The Republicans have everything in their
favor in this State If they make wise nomina-
tions, good platform on State issues, and can
convince the people that they will give good
government, maintain the merit system, put the
canals still further cut Of politics. continue the
work of tax reform and maintain all that has
been done already in that direction. They can
not, however safely rely on the National ticket
carrying through a State ticket which does not
Of itself inspire popular trust and favor. The
Independent vote is too large and the Demo
Gratis have been out of power in the State too
long for the memory of their evil deeds to have
much weight in deterring citizens dissatisfied
with Republican performances at Albany or
promises at Saratoga from supporting a Demo
cratic candidate for Governor if a conservative
man of high personal character should be
nominated by that party. These things are
facts to be taken account of by wise party
managers in mapping out the work TO be done
at Saratoga in September. This State is one
which they can win or throw away.

Power that manifested a disposition toward
disagreement. The German attitude toward
Japan in its most favorable Interpretation was
that Japan might go in and settle affairs pro-
vided she would first sign an act of self-denial
So her assent, too, was given on impossible
terms
These circumstances are to be borne in mind
matters of record, and not necessarily by
way of condemnation reproach. Russia and
Germany are as fully entitled as any other
Powers to frame their own policies. and to
frame them for the furtherance of what they
conceive to be their own interests. The cir
cumstances narrated serve to explain the long
and otherwise incomprehensible delay in NOV
ing for the relief of the legations at Peking.
They serve still more valuable purpose in
setting forth the difficulties, the complications
and the general unsatisfactoriness that usually
attend concert of the Powers and in that
capacity they are an impressive object lesson
to the United States against even the slightest
dalliance with "entangling alliances of that
sort
