had the Republican party by the throat
and were sure of their ability to
force the nomination of Grant at
Chicago. They openly declared their
purpose to subvert the present gov

stronger one in its place. They insisted
that capital was seriously endangered by
by the rule of the majority, and that the
rule OF the majority must therefore be
changed to the rule of capital; and it was
boldly proposed to supplant the people by
an arlstocraey of wealth. with Grant in the

Dare Hancock Explainl

Ben Hill says he indorses Hancock S
position on Southern claims, and at a
meeting held in New Orleans the other
night a resolution was passed approx
ing Hancocks letter in every particu-
lar. Other meetings in the South have
Similarly approved the position of the
Democratic candidate; but the move
ment is so evidently the result of pre-
concerted device and understanding
that it is likely to excite suspicion rath-
er than allay distrust. There is such a
thing as protesting too much.
People are set to wondering also how
it happens that the very men who have
been introducing bills into Congress
looking to the payment of these same
claims, and who have defended the
South as guiltless in the war, and there
fore entitled to the same consideration
as the North, should all at once turn
round and denounce these claims, and
declare that rebels can receive no re-
ward for their iniquity.
When General Hancock's letter ap-
peared the country did not know the
circumstances which brought it out. 1t
seemed like an honest statement OF his
views, given on the impulse of the mo-
ment, regardless of consequences. Now
it is known that it was the fruit of long
and careful consideration, that his first
and unpublished letter on the subject
was pronounced totally unequal to the
work of quleting the public mind, and
that the second letter was produced aft
er much time had been consumed in re-
Election and an interchange of views.

OF GENERAL INTEREST.
The Planet Mars.

MARS has Of late been too far away to be OF
much account to star-gazers. But an interest
ing epoch occurs on the 2lth, for he is then in
conjunction with tho sun. Two points I'm the
revolution Of the planets outside the orbit of
the earth should be impressed on the memory.
These are conjunction and opposition, the
starting points iR following the movements Of
Mars and the four great planets that roll their
mighty spheres beyond his bounds. At con-
junction these planets are ut their most dis
tant point, the sun being directly between
them and the earth. AS we look at them
they seem to be joined to the sun, rising and
setting at the same time, and becoming In
visible rs they are eclipsed by his beams. At
opposition they are at their nearest point,
the earth being betweea them and the sun.
They then appear to be opposite the sun, ris-
ing at sunset and setting at sunrise. Three
planets illustrate these movements in Octo-
Der. Jupiter and Saturn are in opposition,
and Mars IS in conjunction. The former are
brilliant evening stars, rising in the east just
before the latter sets in the west, close to the
sun and hidden in his rays. After coniunc-
tion Mars passes - the western side of the
sun, and In a month or two becomes visible in
the east as morning star, continuing this role
and gradually increasing in size and ruddy
glow until his opposition in December, 1881.
Observers have better telescope view of
this planet than Of any other object in the
heavens except the moon. Mars is the earth
in miniature His day is a little longer, his
inclination to the ecliptic little greater, and
his year not quite twice as long as ours.
Eagle-eyed astronomers have made wonderful
discoveries on olT brother planet. They find
his surface diversified with land and water,
trace the red color of his disc to the ruddi-
ness of certain ingredients in his soil, discern
gases and YapOrs in his atmosphere, watch
the floating clouds that make beautiful his
sunsets and sunrises, gaze with awe upon the
storms that sweep over his surface, and note
the ice-bound circles around his poles as they
increase in the cold of the Martian winter
and melt partially away in the heat of the
Martian summer.-YOtdHs Companion, OctO-

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

N4 Every word in General Grants
opinion of Hancock weighs ton.
Ba- don't want any change in the
present financial policy of the Govern
ment." That is the sentiment of every
man who is prospering.
nay General Grant says the welfare
of the country requires " the defeat, and
the continued defeat, of the Democratic
party as now organized"
BS-When the Democrats get through
marking 1929 on the residences of Re-
publicans, they should try their hand
at $4,000, 900, 900, the amount their
treason, rebellion and general cussed-
ness have cost the United States.
B1-The Louisiana State Superintend-
ent of Public Education refuses to in
troduce certain school book into the
public schools of that State because it
calls the United States Nation. With
this exception, he admits, he likes the
book.
BB- The Charleston Nelcs tells its
readers that South Carolina will be in
danger unless the Democracy take as
much pains as in 1876 to see that not
vote is lost. 1t failed to add ''and that
the Republicans are prevented from
voting"
Ba~Look at these two facts: The Re-
publican party in fifteen years reduced
the public debt 5000, 100000. The
Democratic party in five years increased
the public expenditures S41 100000.
Which record speaks loudest for a
"change"P
RSs- Why does not SOME Democrat
say if he thinks Hancock would veto an
appropriation bill if there were a lot of
Southern claims fastened to it? The
Superb says he is better than his party.
He may be, but more important ques-
tion is whether he is stronger than his
party.
RdS- As well attempt to recruit
| living, an effective army, in grave
yard as to spend efforts to organize the
Republican party in the South in the
expectation of victory. Voting is a
lost privilege. Three-quarters of q
million of Republican Voters are as
effectually disfranchised by the Demo-
cratic counting-out conspiracy as if the
right of suffrage had been wrested from
them by Constitutional enactment -
Boston journal.
Ba- The Democratic blackguard
who originated the brilliant idea of
marking 1929 on front doors and
sidewalks did a good stroke of work for
the Republican party. Respectable
people do not relish campaigning of
that sort. In some towns in the inte-
rior, as our dispatches show, rabid
Democrats are daubing the residences
of Republicans with the figures in black
paint. 1t is safe to say that every rep
etition of such disgusting campaign
methods will bring votes to Garfield
and Arthur. IN Y Tribune,

a fact, but 1t implicitly believes that
the Southern leaders were consulted
regarding the second and published let
ter ofsGeneral Hancock, and that it was
prepared with special care, and accord
ing to their suggestions.
There is something rather remarka-
BILE about this letter when carefully read
and considered. As we have stated
before there is not word in it that ex-
cludes the consideration and approval
of nearly every claim on file in Wash
ington. The promise not to approve
any bills for the reward of those who
were ''in rebellion" does not cover the
dangerous point at ALL and what
seemed at first glance an omission OF
form simply, we now believe to have
been purposely kept out of the letter at
the suggestion of Mr.. Hancock's South
ern counselors. If this is not true, 1t
is easy to remedy it. 1t is easy for
General Hancock to say that in prom
ising to veto any bills for the payment
of those who were Sin rebellion he
meant, any who aided, abetted, or SYM
pathized by word or act with the South
ern Confederacy. and place himself on
record as opposing that iniquitous
scheme for taking millions out of the
Treasury-the refunding of the cotton
tax.
We challenge General Hancock to
make this simple statement. We as
sert it as our firm belief that he dare not
do it. If he dare not, let him remain
silent and practically confess that his
letter was a cunning device to allay the
oa OF nf lg IS e., -,
the North who fear this question of
Southern claims, and to do so without
substantially pledging himself against
anything which the South demands.
General Hancock may call this South
ern claim question bugbear, but that
will not answer.
The question is one which is bound to
come up and to be settled ere long in
one way or another.
In 1873 Mr.. Conger, of Michigan, in
troduced joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the Constitution pro-
hibiting the payment of all claims to
parties not loyal to the Government
during the war, and sixty-one Demo
Gratis voted against it, fifty-twc

these gentlemen were anxious to get
this ." bugbear'' out of politics, why did
they oppose its permanent settlement

There are between two and three
thousand millions of dollars depending
upon the action of the Government in
regard to these claims. The man who
says the South will not attempt to Sc.
cure this vast sum, or such part of it as
she can obtain, ought to be sent to an
institution for the feeble-minded The
first step, and perhaps the final one, ii
the payment of such claims will bt
taken when this country is turned ovel
to the Democratic party. If the busi

now, it most certainly will when botE

possible. - Chicago Inter- Ocean.
