CLIMATE IN MANCHURLA.
1t Plays a Prominent Part In the
Fortunes of War.

The climate of Manchuria plays an
important role in the wal between
Russia and Japan. Up to the present
we have had but little precise informa-
ton upon this point. NJ. ]. Ross has
lately given the Scientific American in
dications as to the climate of that re-
gion and the character of the different
seasons. He states that in the months
Of March and April there are strong
southwest winds which bring with
them heat and moisture. At the end
of March the winter season ends. The
undersoil is still frozen at this time,
but the ground can be worked for agri-
culture. April appears to be the only
month of spring. At the end of this
month the sowing of wheat commences.
Summer begins in May, and at the end
of June or the beginning of July the
wheat is cut. Up to the end of Tune
rain is rar and the sky Is generally
clear, while cloudy weather is an ex-
ception. The heat reaches a maximum
at the end Of July and first part of
August. Afterward come heavy rains
or storms. 1t often rains for several
days and nights without stopping. The
soil is completely saturated and inun-
dations are frequent.
September is the harvest month,
while October gives some of the finest
weather of the year. At this time the
climate is agreeable during the day and
the sky is clear, with bracing air, while
vegetation is at its height. At the end
of the month the first night frosts be-
gin to appear, and in November the
cold weather commences and keeps up
until March. At Mukden the temper
ature sometimes reaches a very low de
gree. During the day, however, the
cold is not excessive, and sometimes in
the middle of the winter the suns rays
become very warm, on account of the
s%outherly position of that locality. The
maximum temperature of summer is
1904 deg. F. About ten months of the
year are dry for the most part, and the
excessive wet season only occurs dur
ing a month or so. At Niuchwang, on
the north shore of the gulf of Lao
tung, the mean winter temperature is
10 deg. F., and the mean TO. the sum
mer, 74.S deg. The mean annual tenn
perature is Al deg. +. The Russian
maritime provinces have a very low
mean annual temperature. At Vladiv-
ostock the average for the winter is
1912 deg. F., and for the summer it is
only 1913 deg. +.

years younger than he is, and combin-
ing a honeymoon with the first serious
battle in life. The mules please him
as much as if he had W ridden be-
hind the handsomest teams and in the
most luxuriouscarriages in the capitol.
The house, pretty as it Is, compares

When you see him laughing, bolster
Gus and boyish, taking the keenest
pleasure in all his poor possessions,

to those he had lost in his old age,
you have to rub your eyes and say to
yourself:
"Can this really be Senator William
NJ. Stewart who has had the world at
his feet time and again, the man who,
as leading counsel for the Fair-Fl0Od-
Mackay syndicate on the famous CON-
stock Lode, received in one fee

ganization was never so strong and
carefully nurtured as at present party
discipline was never so rigid; party
leadership was never so placidly recog-
nized and implicitly obeyed by party
workers. The change has come about
in comparatively recent years. In
fact, the present generation of voters
have witnessed its coming. Samuel j.
Tilden showed the way. AS a result of
his teaching, not party principle, but
party organization, won for the Demo-
cratic party sweeping victories in Re
publican strongholds and was started
fairly on the road to a long lease of
national control. Then appeared the
late Marcus A. Hanna from his business
cloister and gave impulse within his
party to a movement similar to that
which, under the tutelage of Tilden,
had brought surprising victories to the
Democrats.
The spirit of organization which now
animates both of the great parties is
not indolent or lukewarm between
campaigns. In an important sense. it
is as active now as it was when the
lines of battle were drawn after the
national conventions of last summer
had done their work. The difference
between them is made conspicuous by
reason of the fact that the Republican
party is in power and its central or
ganization-the National Committee
is" necessarily more in evidence than its
counterpart in the opposition organiza-

- THE RIGHTS OF MAN.
They Should Include an Opportunity
to Make a Home on a Piece of Land.

The right to work. to employ ones
self, comes from Nature, and not from
Legislative action. If that is true,
says the Detroit News Tribune, it fol-
lows that legislatures have no right
to make regulations which will permit
the cornering of opportunities for self
employment. The United States laws
governing our national domain of land
we're originally designed to conform to
the rights of man. Our homestead
acts We're designed to place the land in
the hands of those who would actually
use it productivity, and much of the
land was so p~arcelled out to the
great advantage of society. But cum
ming lawyers and INSCRIPTIONS men
who want to reap where they have not
sown, who seek to avoid productive Ia
Dor themselves by controlling the OPP
portunities of self-employment, have
succeeded in cornering large sec
tons of the United States. The
revelations of the land frauds in
the West are worthy Of great at
tention, but they excite less inter-
est than do our troubles with
President Castro of Venezuela. The
astonishing fact is learned that n
has acquired nearly $1,000 square
miles of public land. He does not want
to use it himself, and lis only object is
to make others pay him for the privi-
lege of using it. He therefore makes
it more difficult for men to employ
and the rights of nan are
to that extent denied.

offensive, was always robust.
