are thus explained by a writer in the N. 7. Times:
 The withdrawal of so much electrical energy from the atmosphere leaves II no power to attract or retain Vapor' and clouds that come near us are quickly dried up or blown away. This condition is growing worse with fri ghtful speed, accelerated by the m creasing use of that mysterious power man should never have tempered With. Punishment is coming In ten years there will not be a blade of grass nor a green leaf within twenty miles or Manhattan.
 The condition referred to, viz. the steadily recurring and protracted drouths, certainly exists; wet sea- sons'' have become a rarity of late years. We do not know that the with drawaI of electricity from the atmos- phere is the cause, nor is it probably more or better than conjecture by the writer above quoted from, and ev- en if scientists should prove the cor rectness of his theory. an effective remedy may be found difficult, if not impossible, of application, even though it should appear that the world can better dispense with the use of cleo tricity than of water.

E.. F. FALLEN FOR
 PROBATE JUDGE.


 The Bridgeport Probate district, com- prising the towns of Bridgeport, Eas- ton, Monroe and Trunab41ll, is Demo cratic whenever a full and straight vote of the party is cast. It has been carried at times by Republican can didates, not upon the merits but through Democratic apathy or disaf- lection.
 Judge Nobbs, the Republican incum- bent, belongs to the .'eminently re- spectacle class of citizens. The Far mer is not bespattering his personal character with campaign mud; it does not intend to challenge his legal abil- ity. But it does assert that he is a protege, if not a, member, of the dom ineering clique which has~ arbitrarily ruled the local Republican party for years, but Amet it's Waterloo this year at the hands of the Young Republi- cans'' It is a. bad year for f'old guards and all affiliated with them, in Connecticut as well as New York and elsewhere.
 The Democratic nominee for Probate Judge, Edward F. Ha1len, is a we'll qualified lawyer and a, public spirited citizen whose personal character is above reproach. His lengthy service as all O11CSE OI tnc OL EA0uCdIlOn proves the esteem in which he is held by that non-partisan body. In charac- ter and ability, MT. Hal1en fully equals his Republican competitor, with the additional advantage that he repre- sents progressiveness in public affairs and is not welded into any machine having ideals only of the should-be dead past.
 MT Hallen merits an election, and we believe that he will be the next Probate Judge of this district.
