THE BLIZZARD AND THE CROPS.
It is an old saj ing that a heavy
snow brings a good wheat year. This
has been certified by scientific ob
servation of meterolegists. The
following from the New York Her
ald, which is an authority on such
subjects, will be read with interest:
Severe and widespread as Mon
day’s “blizzard” was, and despite
the fact that it came during a gen
eral and intense agricultural de
pression, it may prove to be a boon
to agriculture. The storm arrived
at a critical period in the life of the
autumn-sown crops, when they were
largely uncovered and exposed to
ruinous frosts. It may perhaps be
safely estimated that the “blizzard”
left about three-fourths of the win
ter-wheat belt covered with its snow
fall to an average depth of six inches.
The protective value of this crystal
mantle is strikingly illustratedby
the recent experiments at Kathar
ineberg of Dr. H. Abels, a foreign
meteorologist, who finds that a blan
ket of snow of average density offers
about four times greater resistance
to external changes of temperature
than a coat of ice of equal thick
ness. The warmth afforded to grow
ing crops by snow is increased by
the transparency of its loose surface
layers to the sun’s rays and by its
peculiar property of retaining ra
diant heat. It may therefore be
reasonably inferred that in those
parts of the winter wheat belt which
have just been covered with snow
the dormant but growing grain, if
not previously injured by exposure
to “cold waves,” now promises to
do well.
MILITARY SLAVERY.
The burden of military service in
European countries is more grievous
than we can imagine in this land of
liberty. Not only are the people
taxed to death, but their active
young men, .who would be large fac
tors in production, are taken away
for years and made to undergo an
iron discipline, amounting almost to
slavery. The character of this ser
vice may be imagined from the fol
lowing paragraph, which we take
from the editorial columns of the
New York Herald:
“Not very long ago a London
newspaper drew attention to the
number of suicides in the German
army. It was said about the same
time that there were many suicides
in the French army. The large
percentage in the German army was
accounted for by the strictness of
the discipline and the harsh treat
ment of the private by his superior
officer. These facts are recalled by
a Commercial Cable despatch this
morning from M. St. Cere, who re
ports an attempt at suicide by a
soldier on post at the Elysee. The
occurrence caused a sensation and
some alarm because of the recent
anarchist outrages.”
I •
THE UNCERTAINTIES OF LIFE AND
DEATH.
A lady down the river, whose
husband was critically ill, purchased
a lot in the cemetery, that a place
might be provided for the reception
of his body. Not that she was
anxious that he should depart, but
it was one of her characteristics of
forethought and good judgment, and,
as an opportunity was presented to
make a purchase of a lot at a liberal
discount, she thought it sound finan
cial policy to do so. The strangest
part of the incident is that from the
day of the purchase her husband
continued to improve, and finally
recovered his health, and lived to
bury his wife in the cemetery lot
purchased for him. He is now living
with his second wife not far from
Middletown. —Middletown (Conn.)

AS TO THE GOVERNOR.
The Christian Index comments as
follows on the action of Governor
Northen with reference to the popu
lists :
“Since the decision ot Judge Call,
of Florida, which gave Corbett and
Mitchell the privilege of slugging
each other, there has been some dis
position to ridicule, if not squarely
condemn the course of Governor
Northen in taking steps to prevent
the sluggers from fighting on Geor
gia soil. We have not the slightest
doubt b'it Governor Northen’s course
is endorsed by a large majority of
the better and ruling element in the
State. He did right in taking the
precautionary measures he did, and
the effort to ridicule him will have
no force with sensible people. Before
he acted, so far as we know, those
who spoke out, urged him to do what
he could to prevent Georgia being
dishonored by their fighting on her
soil. If the fight had been prevented
in Florida, and Governor Northen
had met them promptly and defeated
them in Georgia, the same element
that has attempted to ridicule him,
would now be praising him. Let
the Governor’s course be strongly
endorsed by every good citizen.”
There is much truth in what is
here said about the attitude which
would have been occupied by the
Governor’s critics had the sluggers
and their friends invaded Georgia
in large numbers and been driven
out by the militia. In fairness we
should consider the probabilities
which confronted the Governor be
fore the fight. He had distinctly in
view the humiliation of the Governor
of Mississippi, when a huge mob
accompanying Sullivan and Kilrain,
went into the state on express trains,
and defied the law and over-awed
the posse sent by the sheriff under
the Governor’s orders. The proba
bility was that a sheriff’s possee in
the swamps of Southwest Georgia
would have accomplished little, had
they come upon a mob of five thou
sand sporting characters. A few
hundred militia, with loaded rifles,
under good officers, would have had
a very different effect, and but for
Judge Call’s decision, there would
no doubt have been work for them.
The Governor had good reasonjto
believe that just such a mob was
coming and he prepared for it. In
view of the result, the affair seems
comical, and the $1,700 of expenses
seems a little high for the demonstra •
tion, but we should not overlook its
moral effect upon the law defying
element of the country. Hereafter,
Georgia will be left out of their cal
culations altogether.
It is quite possible that a man of
more tact than Governor Northen
might have kept out the sluggers
with less expense, but it is infinitely
better to have had this demonstra
tion, comic as it was, than to have
had our laws defied as the laws of
the Governor of Mississippi were
defied.
A NEW CROP OF FAIRS.
It was thought last fall that the
magnitude of the World’s fair would
appall any set of men who under
took to give an exposition thereafter.
None could hope to equal or even
approach its magnificent universal
ity. Instead of this result, we see
fairs and expositions springing into
life everywhere around us. Augusta
was the first to bob up serenely, but
she was soon followed by Atlanta
with her prospectus for a great
Southern Exposition and Chatta-

nooga with one for the tri-state 1
fair. Macon will have the Georgia
state fair this year, and other com
munities are yet to be heard from.
This reminds us that nothing has
been done to redeem the property of
the North Georgia and Alabama Ex
position. Whether we have a fair
or not, we should look after that
property. It will be found impos
sible to duplicate it for the price,
when we come to need it.
The notable increase in the re
ceipts from internal revenues dur
ing the first ten days of this month
is, so far as it goes, an encouraging
symptom, says the New York
Times. It amounted to $546,407,
and if this ratio could be kept up
it would bring the total receipts
within about $5,000,000 of those of
the last fiscal year, whereas the fal
ling off in the first half of the year
was $12,000,000. Os ccourse, the
record of ten days is far too slight
a basis tor a calculation for the re
mainder of the year, or five months,
but the indication is in the right di
rection. As the internal revenue
taxes are now levied almost wholly
on liquors, beer, and tobacco, an
increased return from them shows
an increased expenditure for pure
luxuries, and this, in its turn, shows
an advance in general income and
in the trade that produces it. Con
sumption, by general agreement, has
for the past nine months been so
distinctly ahead of production that
demand is bound to spring up, and
trade with it. The only question
has been when that process would
begin.
