Seasons Out of Joint.

The thermometer stood at 40 here early on
Monday morning and there was light frost.
That there will be some very warm days be-
fore the real autumn begins is safe predic-
ton ordinarily at the middle of September,
but the vagaries of the present season are
such as set most rules at defiance and render
demonstrating about as safe as are Hicks
moon and star rot.
A striking variation from the normal is
the entire absence, to date, of the Caribbean
Sea and Gulf of Mexico storms: ordinarily
they are reported in August and from four to
six of them have developed and passed to the
nor!hward by the time Of the autumnal cqui'
nox, now but five days distant.

PREDICAMENT OF IOWA REPUBLI-
CAN CANDIDATES..

The republican stump speakers in
Iowa have a hard road to travel in this
campaign. They are afraid to tackle
the two main issues, tariff and trusts.
Chairman Henderson was the only one
to turn tail and run from the situation.
All the others are trying to get through
the by lodging these two ques-
tionS. They mo endorse the Iowa
idea, for the edict has gone forth from
headquarters that there is to be no
tariff revision, and they are afraid to
argue against it, for two many of their
former supporters are it's advocates.
They know that any republican candi-
date in the state of Iowa who would
come out in open advocacy of continu-
ance of the present tariff schedules
would have a slim chance for election.
Thus they inc themselves between the
devil and the deep sea whenever they
face an audience of republican voters.
In consequence, while the people are
wanting to know what the party in
power intends doing to relieve them
from the burdens of the present pro-
tective tariff and the plunderings of the
trusts. the speakers are driven to the
necessity of entertaining them with
such interesting subjects as w. j. Bry-
ans efforts to secure ratification of the
Spanish treaty, democratic opposition
TO the governments Philippine policy,
democratic "denunciation" of the army,
ct cetera-
Congressman Hepburn is n of the
republicans who finds himself in this
unpleasant predicament. His opening
campaign speech in one of the counties
of his district, mad a day or two ago,
was devoted to the subjects alone men
toned. The only comment he had TO
make on the two leading issues was:
In regard TO tariff and trusts the
Iowa policy is the policy of the repub-
lican party. 1 know of no trust that
is sheltered by the tariff. but if any
should be thus shown 10 be sheltered
the republican party will not hesitate
TO modify the tariff"

The position of police captain in the
city of New York seems to be about the
best paying office in the whole country.
1t is true the president of the United
States gets a larger salary, but, judging
by the fortunes laid up by some of the
police captains, it would seem that this
Office pays much better than hat of
president. Captain John ]. Donohue, Of
the New York police force, died sudden
ly a few days ago. He was worth seven
ty-five thousand dollars at the time of
his death. When his desk was opened
it was found to contain thirty-five
thousand dollars in cash and sixty-fve
thousand dollars worth of diamonds and
bonds. Captain Donohue a been on
h police force twenty-three years and
in that time had been paid less than
fifty-one thousand dollars for his SER
vices. After living a pretty free life
he leaves an estate of one hundred and
seventy-fve thousand dollars. Doesn't
h a beat being president?

, RRITISHER ON SOUTHERN LYNCH
INGS.

The ostensible reason given is that
the negroes assault white women, but
too often revenge is the keynote of the
a~ct-revenge for the thrashing admin
istered to the south in the civil war
revenge for the emancipation of the
slaves-revenge for the a of devas-
tation n ruin. In one word, acts of
murder of this type are a f1out at the
federal government"
The above is an extract from an ar
ticle in a recent issue of The Sun, Of
London, on lynchings in the southern
states. 1t is too absurd, too funny 20
make and one mad. We woul like, as
a matter of curiosity, to kno what
motives The Sun would assign for the
conduct of the men in Kansas who burn
negroes at the stake or of those of ILL
nois who break up an entire negro set
Element and drive the inhabitants away,
or of those loyal unionists and republi-
cans of Ohio and other northern states
who lynch negroes for assaults upon
white women and for lesser crimes.
The Sun editorial is a fair sample OF
the ignorance of the Britisher as to the
people and affairs in this country.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY RESPON-
SIBLE.

The owners of the coal mines n the
coal roads who nave grown so rich and
powerful through republican Legislation
in their behalf have now come to he
the masters of those who helped them
TO their present position and are defy
ing them. The republicans, to strength
en- themselves, have called into exist
ence a power which they can no longer
control. Here upon the eve of an inn
pOrtant election they suddenly awake to
the fact that what formerly has been
a stanch prop to their party has sud
denly changed to a milestone about the
party's neck and is likely to sink them
beneath the wave of popular indigna-
ton. So, as a means of self-preserva-
ton they turn upon their former allies
and supporters and begin to denounce
them as the cause of the country'S Sc
rious ~predicament. They try to turn
the attention of the people from the
true facts in the caSe-that the republi-
can party and its class legislature foE
years past are responsible for the pres
ent condition in the Pennsylvania Goa
fields and the consequent threatening
of great distress to the people and
enormous damage to the business of the
country. They try to do this by laying
= the blame on the coal mine managers
and have begun to demand the resig-
nation of some of the railway presidents
who have been most active in opposing
all efforts to bring about a settlement
of the controversy. This m too late
The peoples eyes have been opened &c
the true state of affairs, and they see
whence the trouble comes.

The demand for American warships to
protect interests of our citizens in DUN
tries of Central and South America is
increasing more rapidly than we can
supply them. These everlasting resolu-
lions are becoming a nuisance and
every time one of these countries, by
their half civilized way of conducting
International affairs, gets into trouble
with an European power it runs to the
United States for protection under the
Munroe doctrine. 1t would save us
much trouble and expense if we would
let some foreign government teach them
a severe lesson or do so OURSELVES once
in awhile. AS long as we let them feel
that We are going to stand between
them and the powers of Europe they
will continue to give US great annoy
ance. They should also be made to stop
their petty civil ars or submit to some
one who can control them
