DRouTH As a DIsTuRBzR.

I 7 ISN'T THE ABSENCE of free silver or the pres
ence Of the gold standard, it isn't tariff legislation
or the threat of it, it isn't and pestilence
or anything of this kind that political success
or failure general prosperity the ii. Helm
Clayton, writing for the Popular Science Monthly,
lays down the proposition just presented and offers sub
stantial arguments IN It's support.
Rainfall or lack of rainfall, Mr.. Clayton believes,
is responsible for the overthrow of more political par
ties for more panics and financial disasters than
all the other assigned causes combined There is merit
in his assumption. He says, what We all know to be
true that true prosperity must spring from the soil
Hungry people are always dissatisfied people.
The man who tghtens his belt by defation rather
than imitation from the outside rather than the inside
is usually in a mood to bring about change If it
can be wrought politically his vote and his influence
go against the party in power. The average voter
cannot be prosperous unless the farmer prosperous
The farmer cannot be prosperous unless generous ram
falls assist him in growing his crop.
Mr.. Clayton presents an interesting table, IN which
he shows that the years of the counrys greatest pan
les were years of drouth Crops were bad and the food
supply was curtailed. Bread products rose to prices
beyond the reach of the worker, and calamities re-
suited The same rule applies as The statistics show
to political revolutions.
Two dry years during Van Burens administration
drove him into retirement Notwithstanding the united
efforts of his party followers In 1873 the rainfall
far below the normal and the financial panic in New
York and other money centers was unprecedented. In
the first national election that followed in 1874 the
Republican majority of 107 in the lower house of
eress was changed into a Democratic majority of a.
Two years later a Democratic president was elected,
but his high office was stolen from him by Republican
manipulators
The year 1893 was another season of drouth. This
time the Democratic party in power, apparently
firmly entrenched. There was a panic of very grave
proportions BY some it was attributed to the low
tariff others believed IT to be due the purchase and
coinage of too much silver b. the government Pres
dent Cleveland called extra session of congress and
repealed the law under which this silver being
coined.
But the crops had failed through the drouth, and
the people were hungry AT the first opportunity they
swept the Democrats out of power and that, too, in
spite of the fact that old issues were repudated and
made the keynote of the campaign Mr.. Clay
ton is convinced that if the country had been blessed
by cOpious rainfas there would have been political
revolution in 1897.
So he goes through history and it is a remarkable
fact that in nearly every instance where one party has
been dethroned there were excessively dry gears The
regularity of the occurrences places them beyond the
pale of mere coincidence. There is for belev
ing that Mr. Clayton stands firm ground

BOSSES STOCK EXCHANGE.

IN DAY THE IDAHO MINING d Stock ex
change viii be formally opened at Boise and to-
night the citizens of the Gem states metropolis
are going to celebrate with banquet and reception
The Herald extends hearty congratulations to its
neighbors for their enterprise and their industry The
object of the exchange IS it should be- the promo
ton of the mining industry in Idaho
It will furnish place where legitimate enterprises
nav be listed, and where investors may have an oP-
portunity to place their capital to good advantage
The experience of the Salt Lake public with It's mining
exchange has not been profitable of late, except per-
haps, to a cotere of brokers and mine promoters who
have manipulated stocks to their own personal adj
vantage Our experience, however, will doubtless be
lamp to guide the feet of the Idaho people
They win be able to avoid the pitfalls into which
Salt Lakers stumbled and the local sacrifice viii not,
therefore, have been altogether in vain The Herald
sincerely hopes that the Idaho exchange will be kept
clear of dishonest manipulaors, and that it will be
help instead of detriment to honest mining PROPOSE
TONS There is no real why this should not be
the case and The Herald believes 1t viii be,
So VIC dof our hat to the busy little metropolis,
the most uptodate city of Its size in the country May
every possible success attend this latest effort, and
may more power be given to the hands and the bains

A Trio Of Good Stories,
Chicago News.)


Some amusing stories are being told
which illustrate Kaiser WiIhelm's pref
erence for having things represented
as they are rather than as they might
be. When the Berlin sculptor, Schost.
was commanded to model a statue of
Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia, to be
placed in the imperial palace, he made
the mistake Of idealizing the monarch
in his desire to produce a fine work of
art, and the consequence was that the
first sketches laid before the kaiser
represented a majestic and calmly dig
nified figure which totally lacked the
characteristics of Friedrich Wilhelm.
My dear SchOst," was Kaiser Will
helms criticism after closely inspect
ing the scuiptor's production, you
must represent the king more forcibly
-as inexorable. simple; after ali. he
was a bearish fellow Well. make him
one" SchOst followed the advice and
produced a cast of the statue of the
king which was fun OF energy, power
full and blunt. Famous, exclaimed
the kaiser on behoiding it; make him
thus. only take his hat off Where
court customs reign one dOffs his hat,

feigned earnestness she stated her case.
The press dispatches had announced
that the volunteer regiment of which
her brother was a member was to
leave for Cuba on fixed date. But
the brothers birthday occurred two
days after the date assigned for his
embarkation, A birthday box OF cake,
Jellies, pies, etc, she said, had been
forwarded TO him and would not be
received if the regiment left on the
date announced. She naively asked
that the regiment be detained until
the sweetmeats arrived, as she was
sure it would make no difference to
the government, whereas il would be
oh, such a disappointment for her
brother!
