Equatorial Temperature.

The scarcity of meteorological sta.
tions near the equator gives interest
to a recent report of the observations
for five years of DR.. e. Goeldi at
Para. The mean temperature for the
year is seventy-eight degrees Fahren-
heit, and the annual variation is ex-
tremely small-only 2.5 degrees
while the mean daily variation is six
teen degrees. The mean annual rain
fall is about 102 inches. A wet sea-
son occurs from January to April, with
a relatively dry season-in which rain
is somewhat frequent-from May to
December. The rains are almost ex-
clusively confined to thunder storms
of the afternoon and evening.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS

Senator Patterson of Colorado has
introduced bill providing that all ma
tional banking associations and other
national corporations shall, for the
purpose of all suits in law, be deemed
citizens of the states in which they
may be located, that the United States
courts shall not have jurisdiction in
such cases other thar they would
have over individuals.
Senator Pettus has, presented a favor
able report from the committee on mil
itary affairs on a Senate bill giving
Brigadier General II. C. Merriam the
retired rank of major general. This
measure will without much doubt pass
the Senate in few days. General Mer-
riam formerly commanded the Depart
ment of Colorado. He is now retired
and living in Wyoming.
The feature of the House proceed
ings December 10th was a thoughtful
speech by the venerable Galusha A
Grow of Pennsylvania on the relations
between capital and labor. At the end
of the present session he retires at the
age of seventy-nine, after a career In
public life extending over half CEN
tury. His first speech in the House
was Mans Right TO the Soil" He was
the author of the free homestead act
His speech was regarded as his vale
dictory to public life, and was listened
to with close attention by his col
leagues. His conclusion was that some
sort of cooperation between capital
and labor was the only solution of the
impending problem. In conclusion Mr..
Grow said: "A labor strike is an un-
equal contest at best 1t is contest
of endurance between hunger and
thirst of the human stomach and the
income of capital. Capital in such con-
tests loses none of its accumulation of
wealth. unless an industry itself should
be destroyed; and in such case labor
would be the greatest sufferer. Some
method of profit sharing between en-
ployers ana employees th::.s.. tth::.. would se-
cure a harmonious cooperation of
both, so as to prevent strikes and i'm
prove the condition of labor. is of vi
tai Importance to the general welfare
for the pillars of the Republic rest
upon the comfort of the home and the
happiness of the fireside of labor"

Drinking In Maine,

Since 1854 Maine has had pro
iiibtion and Vet the papers all over
the state ara devotiny columns ia
the discussion of the liquor ques-
ton. Prohibition is in the con.
stltution and the statutes. But IN
the cities both the law and the
constitution are dead letter.
The Lewiston journal says; "No
one needs to convince the people
OF Maine that the grog shop is the
giant evil of the time. a hot
campaign on the merits of prohib-
ition, is what in our judgment
the State needs to put a stop not
only to the Bangor Plan but also
to the Lewiston Plan which have
so overrun the state.
Enforced prohibition is the
great need of Maine; unenforced
prohibition is it's curse. A dis
tinguished lawyer says: 'Nullif-
cation such as We have had for
several years in Androscogg,n and
such as we are pretty sure TO have
for the next two years in upwards
of half the counties of Maine, is
the worst form OF license. Rum
is net crime in Maine; the crime
is rumselling."
The good people down in Maine
should broaden out little and
first learn what is the cause for
this increasing appetite for liquor.
The evil grows out of the large in
crease in pauper labor that is
brought into the manufacturing
towns There is no trouble in the
thrifty farming portions of the
state, nor from the we'll. .to-do ci,i-
zens in the cities.
