The EOurfh NJ March

The fourth Of March next year will
come on Sunday. The beginning of the
term of Office of President of the United
States has twice before happened on the
first day OF the week, in 1919 and 1921.
An article copied from an Eastern pa
per in the Gazett last week asserted that
the same thing happened in 1898, but
this was an error The fourth of March,
1893, was on Monday. That article
very generously supposed that the first
president would not take an oath of of
flee on Sunday, but this generosity i'll
favor of HIM whom &C, uid not tell a
lie" was wasted.
The way in which the mistake occur-
red is very evident. In tour years, in
Guiding ore leap year, there are POS
weeks and five days. Each inaugural
ton day comes FIVE days later in the
week than the last one; seven terms
make thirty 1--WE days, or just FIVE weeks
later, and thus after twenty eight years,
the inauguration comes on the same day
Of the week, provided every u tn year
has been q leap year. Now the year
800 was not leap year. When TIE
number CT a year is divisihle by 100, il
is not leap year unless it is also divis.
ible By 400 Neither will 1900 be leap
year.
The effect of this is to throw off the
count at The end OF century. Four
years including the year 1900, will have
POS weeks and four days. Alter next
year the presidential term Will not begin
on Sunday until 1917, unleSs the consti-
tuition is charged, or both the offices of
PRECEDENT and vice president should be-
come vacant during the same term. II
neither of these sad events occur. the
term will begin on Sunday just thirteen
times every tour hundred years.

THE STATE.
Florida has four electoral votes.

However other States mpy have gore,
Kansans have reason TO be proud OF their
State this year. The Republican major
ity for Hayes is about $4,000. Antho-
ny's majority is over 10000. These
figures are much larger than had becn
claimed for several weeks before cleo
ton. Mr.. Anthony has special reasons
to congratulate himself upon the splcn-
did endorsement he has received at the
hands of the people. No man who has
ever been placed IN nomination by the
people for the Office, in this State, has
been bounded and maligned as has Geo.
Il. Anthony. 1t matters little how void
of truth charges may be, there are some
people who will shake their head aud
refuse TO be convinced. And in view of
the charges made ana the wide circula-
given to them before they could be met
and refuted, we consider Mr.. Anthony
has made good race. He will make
us good Governor who will look to
the interest of the State and will prove
TO the people that he is still TO be trusted
as public officer.

Tney are anything but ENCOURAGING TO
