Hardly more than a year will alapae before the Republican* of the country will be called npeit to choose delegates to th^ir national convention--that body which i# to decide whether they wlij lose or retain national supremacy. It Is to be regretted that the national committee did not entirely do away with the rotten borough system. The maintenance of the old basis was a srrlevons. but not necessarily fatal, mis­ take. The national convention should represent »lie sentiment ef Republican constituencies. It isn't fair that a hopelessly Democratic district In Ar­ kansas should have same weight in the councils of the patty as the Western Reserve, with Its intelligent citizen­ ship and' its magnificent Republican majority; nor does the fact that equal representation by congressional dis­ tricts has heretofore obtained make it at all Incumbent upon the party te con­ tinue the practice, which has militated against Its good, and given '"machine" managers an influence which they should not possess. If the old system has worked injuriously, it should be abrogated. It has not been abrogated, however, and those who have the weal of the pa rty at heart must act there* fore, within such limitations as the na­ tional committee lias imposed, but with uch freedom as the convention of 1880 decreed, and which the committee, even if it had been so disposed, could not restrain. There are two things which the Chi­ cago convention settled, and which cannot be reversed--district represen­ tation, and the abolition of the unit rule. The latter, indeed, is the neces­ sary sequence of the former. Republi­ cans know that henceforth every con• gressional delegate !s responsible only to his constituency, unfettered by in- tructions from a statu convention. Tills principle is reaffirmed by ths resolutions of the committee, which provide that the Republicans of the various congressional districts shall have the option of electing their dele­ gates at separate popular delegate conventions called in not less than thirty,nor more than sixty, days before the time for the meeting of the na­ tional convention, and held in the dis­ trict at any time within the fifteen days next prior to the meeting of the state convention,, to choose the dele­ gates at large, or by subdivisions of the state convention Into district conven­ tions, and the district delegates shall be chosen by the latter method, if not elected previous to the taeetings'of the state convention. A year remains in which to choose the district delegates, bat Republicans in the various districts should now resolve to take the option at its best, and to select delegates by popular conventions,called by the congressional committees, and held within the dis­ tricts. It is not too early to decide upon litis 11 :ie of action. Certainly it is not too early to discuss their pro- I" iWThere is something very stngu* .Jar in the meteorological conditions at Ij^esent prevailing in Europe anti America. While we are having unnsu #ly heavy snows, and while our rivers / *re coated with Ice. many of the •tnaller streams being uncommonly de- flcient In water, Europe is suflering ftrom extraordinary 1 nun ilations, and Mie snow that fell there early in the Mason has malted. It has frequently |een noticed that there is an apparent interchange of meteorological condi­ tions, especially In the winter, between <be new world and the old. Severe Winters there have coincided with mild • sprinters in Europe, and occasionally .these conditions have been inter­ changed twp or three times in tin* bourse of a single season. This subject j|f comparative meteorology, if It may so called, is extremely interesting, ritile at present our'information upon |t is meagre, yet it opens a promising . ikld for inquiry, and it is likely that *sf|he science ef the weather will be greatly advanced by the simultaneous 'Study of ttie meteorology of different |>ortlons ef the earth.--N.

It- sM » •WTlie stories of the bulldozing in |«|tlouth Carolina-In 1876, which created •uch a sensation in the north, are not |;J|n the opinion of a correspondent of '^||be Evening Post now traveling throng! Jlie south, at all exaggerated. "The •tories," he adds, "of the picketing of the roads by armed whites, the shot-gun watch of the ballot-boxes, the fraud the intimidation and bloodshed are ..-ftibsianlially true. Bulldozing, in fact , , had many more effective refinement? than the shot-gun. Negroes were paid double wages to stay at home oh elec tion day; merchants who supplied them threatened to stop their cotton credits *nd every device, including actual pur .chase, was used to supplement violence It seems strange here, in this civilized - -country and iu one of the states of our ^ .v "union, to hear Mississippians boast of •:rtheir part in a policy which has nulli fled a free ballot and absolutely sub- .5 verted constitutional law. Why the , negroes; with as ample a supply of shot guns lu their homes as the whites, did not resist luay seem a mystery to northerners. The reason ot this was that the leaders had been 'fixed," as the ^^southern expression is, long before election day. As a rule, they had been - ^ driven away or so thoroughly intlmida- 5;./i^ted that they made no attemp; to • ^ /organize--and without organization by ^i,„sotuo superior mind the southern negro ^ t/'^ls helpless as a baby.

It Is evident from the course of events that the supporters of the French re­ public do not feel entirely at ease while material for motiarchs Is so plentiful in France. The sad experience of French republics in the past has been a loud wtrnlag against trusting too much the let alone policy. • To Americans, the energy with which the government and chamber of deputies are proceeding against the claimants to the French throne now* residing in France .seems un­ wise and uaneces*ary. But the past has proved that the French people are pe­ culiarly liable to re-actions to the forms ot government which have had the greatest place In French history, and have filled the country with monuments aad palaces, and great public works. The great number 01'claimants to the throne has been an element of safety. But royal princes hold command in the army, and the church is arrayed against the republic. The situation is not Im­ mediately threatening aud has not been since the overthrow of the De- Broglle ministry. Mtill it Is not calcu­ lated to re-assure the friends of the republic, Thay have taken the occasion to act with vigor now that occasion has been offered, by P5$n Plan's foolish performance. That the French cabinet and chambers means business, is suffi­ ciently attested by the measures pro­ posed by the former and immediately voted by the latter. For instance, the deputies by a vote of 407 to 94, declared the urgency of the motion of M. Ballue to strike from the army list the names of the Orleans princes. The same una­ nimity may be expected on the bill authorizing the president to decree the banishment of scions of former reign­ ing families whose presence in France menaces tlie safety of the republic. It is probable that the stories of a legitimist conspiracy are greatly ex­ aggerated, If they are not wholly un­ true ;but tiiey indicate the facility with which an uproar may be produced, while more or less active claimants to the throne remain on French soil. The traditions of the relgni «g families are against placing any trust in their de­ scendants. They can only succeed through the overthrow of the republic, and they have never cbncealed the fact that they desire success.--Exi> •; to assert Itself at its best, must bring itself as near the people as possible. Its urgent need Is to have as little of "machine" management, as is consist­ ent with organized vitality. It may. perhaps, be said that delegates to a state convention, resolving themselves into congressional conventions, would fairly represent the sentiment of their districts, but. in such cases, there arise complications in regard to the dele­ gates at large, which have a reflex In­ fluence upon the minor conventions, and the latter must be more or less affected by the action of the main body. The popular district convention is much the safer, lu its freedom from extraneous infl-jence^and In the direct popular approval or disapproval of candidates for district delegates. Without delay, tfee views of the Republicans of the districts should find expression. They should submit to r.o outside dictation. No state committee must be allowed to fix upon any plan, which surrenders either in letter or spirit any of the principles which were contended for so earnestly and which triumphed so grandly, at Chicago. Let it be understood at ouce and for all that no "bosses" are to run the Repub­ lican party at the next national con­ vention, or iu any of the preliminaries thereto. It is to run itself, and that through district representation in its integrity. Thus, and thus oulv, can the party hope to be successful, in the en­ suing national campaign. TEACHERS.

Btirrell.of Little Fall, New York, the largest dealer in d iiry supplies in the world, and in that occupa; ion known to manufacturers and dealers everywhere, owns and operates a dairy farm of 320 acres in the center of the famous Herkimer dairy section. Mr. Burrell advises the substitution of oleomargarine or cotton seed oil to supply the loss of the cream in skim- miik cheese. He maintains that wher­ ever a eklm-milk cheete iasold it efleclt and generally prevents the pale often full cream cheese. "He b^lievos that all this can be prevented by the re placement of the butter!ue fats in the shape of oleomargarine or clarified cotton seed oil. 'He u*es an average of 1.3G pounds of oil to 100 pounds of milk at a cost of 13| cents per pound, after extracting nearly four pouiids of but­ ter, which brings an average of 28 cents a pound.1* TtSis allows a liberal margin and leaves eight pounds of cheese to 100 pounds of milk. Mr. Burrell states that last year there was made iu this country 423.000,000 pounds of cheese of which 80,000,000 was made of skimmed milk. TWELVE EEASONS, FOR INSURING WITH Asa W.
