A Remarkable Series Of Storms.

From the New York Herald.
Since Friday night very remarkable tor
nadic storms marked by intense electrical
displays, fierce winds and heavy local rain
falls, have visited the country east of the
Rocky mountains.
Usually in midsummer the atmosphere
everything our central sections is oppressive
ly hot and stagnant and its westerly cur
rents are too feeble to produce any storm
effects. But this month will be memorable
for the activity of these currents and the
consequent multiplication Of cyclonic eddies
which have broken the great heat waves of
July. The western storm which reached
the north Atlantic coast yesterday lowered
the temperature In all districts east Of the
Mississippi, and. according to the official
reports, the cooling effect of it's rains in the
Ohio valley brought down the temperature
from 10 to 16 degrees below the seasonal
average.
This is only another way of saying that
the cool, dry anti-cyclon driven entirely
across the continent by the upper currents
are this summer abnormally frequent and
strong for midJuly. Consequently the
thunder storms and cyclonic whirls, which
action of the cool and the hot currents of
the atmosphere, have been exceptionally
strong, causing heavy downpours of rain or
hail and violent blasts.
AS yet there is no indication that the
present remarkable regime of fierce thun-
der storms over the country will soon be
brought to an end. If 1t remains with us
much longer the sun will have retreated so
far toward the equator that there will be
little reason to dread long protracted spells
of excessive heat this season.

Midsummer DAYS Yarns.

MIR Iittletie!d has developed into an in
.erestirc midsummer topic He may not
enjoy TN. distinction. albeit he has a good
deal Of sound Yankee philosophy along with
his sound Yankee sense, and knows the
penalties of political life. But whether he
enjoys il or not. his name and supposed in
tentiOns are pointing a good many leaders
and smart paragraphs in the newspapers
these days. and the country is at least en-
Sertained. And summer is the time for en-
tcrtdinment. Lord Macaulay felt ftattered
because mis- history of England competed
with the latest novels. and maybe there is
comfort for Mr.. Lttleheld in the fact that
h. is competing with golf champions, and
polo players. and automobile scorchers in
popular attention in July.
First came the news that the President
would confer with Mr.. Littlefeld on the
subject Of trusts, This was instantly con-
verted into yarn that the President had
put the administration case as to trusts
Into Mr.. Li;tlefeld's hands. He was repre-
scented as turning in a sort of despair to the
Maine statesman and exclaiming, in effect.
Help me. Charley. or l sink" We were
asked TO believe that the President was lost
iU the shuttle. that Attorney General Knox
knew not which way to turn, and that IN
less Mr.. LittlefeId was equal to the emer-
genCy the republican party was doomed on
the trust question.
Following this. and a sequel. came the
yarn that the President was grooming and
booming Mr.. Littlefeld for the speakership
OF the next House. He had decided to run
both Congress and the White House, and
wanted new men in the lead at the Capitol.
Mr.. Henderson was Objectionable and would
BE- retired; Mr.. Littlefeld was acceptable.
and would be promoted The whole thing
NsS disposed of by a mere stroke Of the
pea. Both men had their orders and both
understood what a republican majority In
the next House would mean SO far as they
personally were concerned
These TWO yarns are having quite run.
Their very absurdity seems to recommend
them with the mercury in the eighties and
people too listless to think. The merest
ghost Of a thought. coupled with the slen-
derest Information. Is sufficient to knock
either one of them sky high. Whatever the
President may be he is not a fool, and what
ever Mr. Littlefield may be he is not a fool
Meanwhile. until something new turns I'D,
this style of entertainment will probably
continue

Missouri's Heart and Poll.

The Missouri democracy indorses the Kan
sas City platform? Why, certainly. Why
not? Local pride alone demanded it. Kan
sas City is a Missouri town. 1t was there
that the platform in 1900 was started on its
ebullent way. Kansas City, moreover, is
the home of Webster Davis-that champion
of liberty. who gave up small office, with
a few thousand dollars attached as salary
threw himself into the arms of Mr.. Bryan
and sold a book on the Boer war for a
couple Of hundred thousand dollars-esti-
mated. And then William J. Stone, a prob
able United States Senator, and greatly be-
loved by Mr.. Bryan, Is a Missouri man
Mr.. Stone is sometimes mentioned when
speculation at the tavern or the grocery
plays around the subject of Mr.. Bryan's po-
litical legatee. He is strong with the rural
population in Missouri, and the boys who
run the machine in the towns and cities are
not unacquainted with his name Here
then are three reasons for the action taken
at ST. Joseph yesterday. And there are
others. Count Missouri among the states

ulate at the next democratic national con-
yention to Bryanite ends

The Local Judgeship.

The District is pleased to note that cir
cumstances now favor the appointment OF a
local man for the vacant local iudgeship
Although at one time indications all point
ed to the selection of an outsider chosen
on political grounds, The Star did not con-
cede that the reasons for the choice of
local man would not appeal convincingly
To the President in season to prevent such
an Injustice. This community has no In
terest whatever in the circumstances sur
rounding the appointment of a new justice
of the Court OF Claims. But 1t does demand,
and on the strongest possible grounds, the
filling of the existing vacancy on the Dis
trict Supreme Court with a man who rep
resents the Districts half of the cost-bur-
den and who is familiar with local law and
procedure.
g.. The President by this time thoroughly I'M
derstands why a District man in Judge
Bradley's place Is imperatively required by
all the equities. He has been fully advised
o. the fact that heretofore, since the equal
division Of the expense of maintenance be-
tween the capital and the government, one
half of the members of the court have been
local men. the other half. If political con-
sideratiOns required. being from the states.
He has been acquainted with the fact that
the peculiar legal system of the District
especially demands strong local represen-
tation on the local bench. He of course I'M
derstands the reasonabieness of filling each
vacancy with the appointment of a man in
the same category as his predecessor, and
of waiting for the death, resignation or re
tiremeut of a judge appointed from the
states before choosing a candidate from the
states for the place
In fact. there has never been a sugges-
ton that these convincing arguments did
not appeal to the Presidents mind. Nor
was there any question as to the suffi-
cheney of the merits of the candidates
named for his consideration by the local
bar. The fact that three excellent men
were thus nominated without prejudice to
any of them did not argue that the com
munity could not unite upon candidate #
called upon to do so. And so the case
stands today. with the Districts claims I'M
weakened by any circumstances which have
arisen since the necessity to choose new
Justice arose and with all the equities de-
mandirg the early appointment Of local
man TO fill this local place.
