AS IT WAS AND IS.

The Josrnalism Of to day is very diff.
ferent thing from what it was five and
twenty years ago. and could some of the
veterans Of the profession, whose names
have long been carved in monumental mar
BILE, re-appear upon earth, they would
stand in wide-eyed ama8ement. There are
perhaps, no better comparisons than the
old fashioned coaches that swung laZily
into town, announced by cracking Of whip.
blowing Of horn, barking of demoralized
dogs aud sitting clouds Of dust, and the
lightning express, the pony mail and the
telegraph, for there was very much Of a
go as you please style IN the then and reck
less daring and speed in the now.
Take as sample the long-winded, dou-
BILE loaded, small capped and italicized
leaders with words OF learned length and
Numbering sound, and the curt, lncisive
paragraph systemn; the stories with de-
scriptiOns lnterminable and the everything
reduced to action. Years ago a single
thought was elaborated until threadbare
lost in the spinning out and weighing
down with illustration. Now all is com
prised in the dash Of a pen; columns re-
duced to a stickful and an idea made plain
without cropping through sentence after
sentence, as one would for remarkably
small oyster in an exceedingly large kettle
of soup.
Take news. 1t was the fashion to liter.
ally make the most OF it and exaust the
patience of the reader. Now, glance
over synopsis and swell heads tell all.
There Is no more taking an hour to find
out the news OF a bsttie-it is pictured for
you in a breath; no more wading for half a
day to see what is going Oh in this or that
locality-the world Is mapped out so that
you can see it at glance, and the tele-
graph gives, in word, the news from
every land. What was once considered
the best in journalism is now voted old
fogy and slow. The business world moves
so fast that it has to catch the news as it
rushes along. We don't care how much
the volcano was boiling so that we know
an eruption came; we don't want any par
ticulars so that the fact is apparent. We
are tired Of waiting for the thick shell Of
the cOcoanut to be pounded and cracked
before we can drink the milk, and must
have the kernel made ready for the eating.
We have become disgusted with detail
have grown to abbreviation and meTciless-
ly clip the wings Of thought until a two
EN- space is considered about the right
thing for murder and stickful Of non
pareil solid for the Presidents message.
Yes, Journalism has changed, and in the
now, when room is great desideratum, it
must be sharp, short, incsive, and every
thing squeezed down, as in a hydraulic
press, TO the smallest possible compass, and
give clear photograph Of the entire world
upon the size of your thumb nail.

SUNS DISTANCE.

Eds. Iel:-The transit Of Venus has
heretofore been considered as affording the
best means Of determining the suns true
distance. Governments have sent COM
missions to different portions Of the earth
to make observations to determine the suns
parallax, but at the present time there are
other methods which are considered as
good, il not better than transit observa-
tions Of which the most important is the
graYitating force Of the sun upon the moon
and the velocity Of light. The force upon
the moon shows itself by a certain ineaual-
ity in the moons motion, retarding it about
two minutes at the first quarter and accel
lerating its velocity the same amount Of
time at the third quarter. The distance of
the moon being accurately known, the pro-
portional difference between the gravitat-
ing effect Of the sun on the moon and earth
form the basis for the calculation Of the
suns true parallaX. II we could send an
agent TO the sun and back and know
the time required and the rate Of speed it
would be an easy matter TO determine the
exact distance.
Foucaults experiment makes light travel
al the rate Of 1856, 200 miles per second of
time, and from many astronomical phe-
nomena it is found to come from the sun
to the earth IN 14S seconds, giving the dis
tance Of the sun at 90 ,230, 900 miles as the
result. These two ways of determining
the suns distance, as well as the ingenious
plan Of Leverrier founded on the theory Of
graUtation are regarded as equal in accu-
racy 10 that by transits Of Venus.
But notwithstanding the present i'm
proved methods of determining this diff
cult problem, the next transit of Venus
will be looked to with great interest by as
tronOmers and civilized nations of the
earth to settle, as nearly as possible, the
foundation on which rests the measure
ments OF the solar system, more perhaps
from the fact that the next transit of We
nus, which will take place on the forenoon
OF the 9Th day Of December, of 1882, and
if the day is clear may be seen from this
place as h dark round ball on the sun about
the size Of a cherry, and will be the only
transit Of that planet for the next 1872 years.

THE PARTY OF PERJURY.

In the confessions of Morey and O'Brien
that they were paid to go to New York
and commit the crime of perjury, we have
the most disgraceful and degrading chap
ter TO be found in the political history Of
the United States. The crime, in all its
heinous proportions, is traced directly TO
the men who were entrusted with the man
agement OF the Democratic campaign.
There was no one in any way connected
with it except Democrats, and while the
leaders Of the Democracy in New York in
stigated and directed the crimes of forgery
and perjury they were sustained by the
Democratic party and its press throughout
the country. Every paper that circulated
and defended that forged letter, and every
man who maintained its genuineness are
smirohed with the crime Of forgery and
perjury. They may now claim that they
acted ignorantly Of the true character Of
the Morey letter, but if they did so it was
their own fault. They knew that General
Garfield denied the authenticity Of the let
ter and that it bore no resemblance to his
handwriting. There was nothing IN the
way Of their knowing the truth and de-
nouncing the forgery. But they sustained
the heinous crime, and, as far as it lay in
their power, encouraged its perpetrators.
Every udy uuEluB the lhsL week Ol tue
campaign the Plain Dealer and other
Democratic sheets Haunted the forgery in
the face Of their readers and filled their
columns with the testimony of the perjured
witnesses. The result is that the periurers
who we're paid by Democratic managers
are now in Jail, and, unless olemeney is
shown them, they will be sentenced to the
penitentiary. One Of them was so broken
down by the consciousness Of his crimes
that he yesterday fell to the floor and filled
the room with his groans. For the condi-
tion of these peJured men, for the crimes
that they have committed, the Democratic
party and its press Is responsible. II is
responsible for making these men crimin-
ais. As party it cannot be punished in
court but it stands arraigned before the
bar of public opinion, and there it should
and will receive its well merited condemna-
ton, r.. Cleveland Leader.
