4 REMARKARLR TEMPEST.

The storm which visited the northeastern part
of the country on Wednesday night and Thurs
day morning has had few precedents in sever
ity for the fortunately brief period OF its dura-
ton. Lightning alone has repeatedly done as
much damage on one occasion. So, too, have
tornado winds Rarely. though have they
come in combination with such an extraordi-
nary amount Of rain In New-York City near
ly three inches fell in period of about eight
or ten hours Boston had similar experience,
and Philadelphia was afflicted in an even
more astonishing manner. That city received
in single day considerably more than full
months quota
There can be no doubt that New York. New
Jersey, part of Pennsylvania and all OF New
England suffered from combination of two
storm systems. One central Wednesday
over Lake Superior and the other of Charles
ton Yesterdays weather map showed but
single depression, near Halifax. 1t Is thus ap
parent not only that consolidation had been
effected. but also that there had been n pro
gressive movement at the rate of forty or fifty
miles an hour. Seldom does storm advance
AT more than half that speed. Indeed coast
storms frequently spend two three days in
travelling half the distance covered 10y the ma
rine member of this partnership.
As often happens in the summer and autumn.
reasonably sharp cold wave followed close
upon the neelS OF the lake depression. In me
Ohio Valley yesterday morning the mercury
fell below 80 degrees. at ST. Paul Il went to IS,
and in Northern Montana and parts OF North
Dakota the freezing point was reached. Here
in the East the temperature change did not at
tain its full development yesterday morning,
apparently. In New-York City. for instance.
the minimum was 81 only five degrees less
than that Of August 27-Over a fortnight ago.
When the record made before dawn to-day is
examined it will be possible to Judge whether
or not any serious harm has been done.
The possibility Of n frost about the middle OF
September is one which gardeners, florists and
farmers always keep in mind. II the tempera-
ture drops to 80 degrees at the government sta
ton in this city. it Is liable to go 10 - or less
in Westchester County, and 40 in the central
and northern parts of the State and in New
England. Now, a reading Of 40 degrees is suS
ceptibe of several interpretations. Its mean
ing depends the conditions under which
the instrument giving it is exposed. TOpO-
graphical influences here have chance to OPP
crate perceptibly On clear. still night where
the ground Is broken up into ridges and hOl
lows. she coolest air will seek the lowest level
The indications Of thermometer in one place
will sometimes differ five degrees or more from
those Of another only a few rods away. Plants
on a hillside may enjoy immunity when those
at the bottom of the adjacent valley are
blighted hOpelessly. \ farmer may know from
experience that he is more fortunately situated
than his neighbors in this respect, but he is apt
to feel nervous until he knows the crisis is
past

ferent. The moment of her departure would
be known in Japan, and If she did not ma a
trim cruiser or two waiting for her about three
miles outside the Golden Gate she would GER
tainly be watched for most vigilantly on her
approach 10 the Smoky Seas. That she could
elude japanese cruisers and slip through any
of the straits-COrea, Tsugaru or La Perouse-
and get across the Sea of japan and into
ViadivostOk before the latter port is frozen

SOUND AVID SUFFICIENT.

The platform Oh which the Republican party
Of New-YOrk appeals 10 the voters for support
of the State and national candidates is remark
ably short. There was no need Of making it
longer. A rehearsal in detail of the principles
embodied in the Chicago platform, which it EN-
phatically ratifes, and an elaborate review of
the Washington and Albany administrations
which the people are preparing to approve in
November, would have been superfuOus.
All that the Saratoga platform says is right
and il says enough 1t is n credit TO the COM
mittee that framed IL and TO the convention by
which it was adopted.

The Democratic editors who called Judge
Parker said they thanked him particularly for
his manly declaration that he would not be
candidate for second term If he were elected
President. But those able and accomplished
journalists felt at the bottom of their hearts
since Vermont had spoken strongly from the
Green Mountains that the election Of Judge
Parker had become merely an academic ques-
ton and that the possibility even of the mention
of his name for second term had become the
mere airy fragment OF a vision.
