followed was the able lecture of DR.

4 the ground that the earth was in its primi-
! tive state q nebulous body ami that by chem
ical fore. s rs well as by the force of gravita-
\ ton il became sphere. He argued that
| chemical aclion had as much to do with OuI
present condition as anything else if not
more. and by n series OF experiments by way
| of illustration, he proved that certain bases
| of metallic bodies, lad the predominating
| power in the arrangement of our little Garth.
| The principal OF his illustrations were the
| dropping OF a piece of potassium into goblet
| III water showing that To absorb the oxygen
| as rapidly as possible the metal basis had
sufficient power TO bring forth heat which
/ was, as he had remarked, one Of the causes OF
our existence. He afie~aId, by u practical H.
lustraiion proved how volcanoes

"Rumori than whom, there is no
fiend more nimble: who thrives by be-
ing active and, gathers strength on
the wing:-unpretending at first, be-
ing cautious, soon, she lifts her head
to the sky and, hides her brazen face
in the clouds, as she stalks through
the land. Mother Earth produced
her, they say, the youngest sister of
Ceus and Encelades: agile of foot
and swift of wing-a monster to be
dreaded-of vast proportions;-for
every feather in whose body, there is
a watchful eye beneath, Wonderful to
tellD tongue, a babbling mouth and,
an ever listening ear. She flies by
night between heaven and earth and,
in dark places, nor, does she ever
droop her eye-Gds in balmy sleep: by
day, she sits, a spy, upon the house
top or upon some lofty turret, and,
fills vast cities with dismay: in the
same breath, she utters truth and
falsehood.

Justice Bradley Chosen.

Justice Bradley of the is. Supreme
Court, has been chosen as the fifth
Judge ON the Electoral Commission.
Republicans in New York are congrat-
ulating themselves on this choice. Dem
,ocrats are correspondingly Respondent.
1t is not saying much for public faith
in the public men of the country, when
it is supposed that political patizanship
will invade the high aud sacred realm
of the supreme judiciary. But it might
be profitable to ask the question, where
is this lack of faith most apparent? Ev-
identity among party politicians and ex-
treme partizans who, estimating all men
by their own selfish standard, suppose
that personal honesty and official integ-
rity are not any longer realities, but
good old traditions of the past; well
enough to speculate about, but of no
consequence in modern politics. The
masses of the people, through their po-
litical opponents at the national capitol,
have in this crisis determined to appeal
to the Supreme Court, body supposed
to be the embodiment of wisdom and
honesty, and in this they evince their
faith in the integrity of that body. We
are among those who believe that this
confidence is not misplaced. There is
a deal of wisdom in the old English
maxim that "The King can do no
wrong" while not literally true, it is a
wholesome theory to impress upon the
minds of the people. 1t will be sor-
ry day for our country when the august
tribunal of the Supreme Court shall, in
the estimation of the people, be degrad-
ed to the level of party politics. That
court is now about to pass through a
fiery trial in its history, if it shall come
forth free from the faint of suspicion,
its solidity and usefulness is fixed for
all time to come. But on the other
hand. if its course shall justify the
opinion that mercenary motives inAu-
enced their action in the smallest de-
gree, that they were not true to their
highest conceptions of law and justice,
then, indeed has the main supporting pill.
lar of the governmental structure been
greatly and permanently weakened.
Let public sentiment aid in holding up
the hands of the Electoral G Commission
in the performance of the work before
them.
