The Hot Weather

Never before has tOrrid weather such
as that which the west is now eXpcrienc-
ing been inflicted upon the people and
industries of the United States. Both
east and west of the Mississippi river the
mercury rose to such heights that even
the wheather officials were astOnished.
I'm almost every section OF the great
farming lands more than one hundred
degrees Of heat was registered. Not on
w il it hot in the United States, but in
Europe and Asia the same cOnditionsare
being experienced In Siberia intensely
hot weather is sweeping over the country.
The crops of European and Asiatic Russia
are being damaged From esecountries,
together with the United States, come the
food supplies for millions of the human
race. The effects of the heat are there
fore likely to be far-reaching, affecting
the very life OF myriads of human beings.
The Weather Bureau cannot explain
why this great heat wave, which appears
to be passing over almost the whole
world should he. Barometric cOndi-
tions are approximately the same "a
those which prevailed at this season two
years ago, a comparatively cool sum
mer.
4 numbered deahts and many prostra-
tions i'm different section of the country
have been reported from the heat.

MHAT'S AHEAD?

The action of the Ohio Democratic
Convention in ignoring the declara-
tions of the nationalparty sattract-
ing much attention among the Dem
ocratic leaders in Virginia.
There is no question about the
Honorable William J. Bryan : extra
ordinary ability; but there are some
who have from the beginning OF his
remarkable political career regarded
him as a demagogue and a aceto
the interests OF the national Demo
cratic party, Then there are Others
who question his Democracy class
him with the Populists.
Recent developmcntsin Democratic
ranks indicate that the Democracy
is beginning to realize the utter
impossibility of electing IA Presiden-
tial ticket headed bya candidate thus
handicapped, and there is reason to
believe that the next national Demo-
cratic platform will be largely made
up of new tenets and with some man
other than Mr.. Bryan to carry the
Democratic banner to victory.
1t might have been foreseen when
the national Democracy was split ON
the monetary question that success
was almost animpossibility. Certain
it is that the Democratic party Is
awakening to this fact now, and the
more conservative element OF the
party may be dependedupon, it would
seem. to come together again for a
national contest upon partially new
principles. at least, and with new
issues and candidates.
1t is veryevident that the day iSnot
in the near future when Mr.. Bryan
mayreasonably hope to ride into the
White House on his free silver views.
Democracy is becoming thoroughly
aroused over the situation and n very
interesting revolution seems TO have
begun among the Democratic leaders.

Liquor Dealers as Church Members.

The Dover Baptist Association at its
meeting in Richmond Tuesday failed to
take action on the question of refusing
to give fellowship to churches refusing
to drop members who engage in the
liquor traffic. The most interesting tea
ture OF the consideration o. the subject
was the refusal of Rev. John Pollard,
chairman of the committee. TO sign its
report. He stated that he did this because
one church which had liquor dealers
among its members gave no sympathy
to the work of the committee. The re-
port of the committee showed that 10
churches had members who were liquor
dealers. These include First and Second
Baptist churches Of Richmond, the first
named with four and the latter with one
such member.
