Is The End Near i!

| Professor Proctor, the eminent astron.
omer, has gone and mentioned some very
unpleasant facts He finds that the comet
of 1858 and the comet Of l343 were the
same, and that the comet of 1880 was
still the same, its period OF revolution
having been reduced by its passing so
near the sun as 10 be impedrd by the
corona and its velocity lessened. In
50 il passed still nearer and, after a
few revolutions, it must fall into the sun.
| The vast momentum Of the comet being
converted into its equivalent Of heat will
| cause 4 sudden Outburst Of solar energy
| like that caused in the star in the constel-
lation Corona few years ago. That star
increased in light and heat several hun.
| dred times its former power, aud, after a
| few days, subsided to it. former size -niDth
| magnitude. Now If our sun should in
crease a hundred fold its power, every
living thing, animal and vegetable, would
be destroyed in the course Of few hours
The sea would boil, and possibly be Who'll
~ converted into steam the rocks would
be vitriiied, and there would be no safety
even in the deepest cavern Don't smile
gentlemen, for this is Il very serious piece
of business. When will it happen
Perhaps at the next revolution. Prox.
unity to tie sun at its pcrihclioi reduced
its period nom 10 to 81 years. a pro.
portonate reduction from 81 would make
its next peribelion unplcasantly near.
| There is little comfort to be found in the
fact that the effect OF this new fall to the
sun will be very transient. In "A few
| days after the big blaze the sun will re.
sumo its normal heat, but the earth and
Venus will be cindcr,, and the ocean
which had been vaporized by the heat =
will be falling in cataracis Of rain like
| Niagara. All the monuments Of man, all
his history, all memory Of him utterly
gone, and all interest will have ceased ia
reform within the Democratic party in
this State. The return Of tho comet OF
1880 will be watched with intense inter
est. Meantime, one may draw some
comfort from the fact that geology furn.
ishcs no record Of such an event All
the millions Of years Of geologic cycles
| give no hiEt Of such catastrophe in for
mer ages. Ifsuch things occurred, there
would be among the millions Of stars
frequent blazes Of this kind and there
would be mark or so to show when it
happened here. This, however, is not a
very satisfactory argument. The fact
that it has not happened does not show
that it will rot happen. Bahimorc AArr-

MR.. SPRINGER'S BLUNDER.
THE REAL PURPOSE OF TIE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
EXPOSED

fBY TELEGRAPH THE TRrBUSgI
WASHINGTON. April 6-Mr Springers party
friends in the House certainly ought to present him
with mcdal-a large leather medal-for his entire
want of political discretion, not to say sagacIty
For two whole days the Democrats in the House
had been hugging themselves with joy over tho
Presidents veto of the Ant-Chinese bill.
We've got the Republicans" they exclaimed
over and over again. 1--WE can go on the stump
and show to the laboring men of this country
that we have stood as q bulwark against the influx
of horde of Asiatics but that a Republican Ad-
minstration has defed the voice of the American
people as uttered by our votes'
The cup of Democratic rejoicing was filed to tho
very brim, when along tie vvacious Mr.
Springer and dashed it to the ground, at tho
same time exposing the shallow insincerity
of his party Mr. Page asked unanimous
consent to offer bill for reference, request which
is almost always granted as matter of course. Mr.
Springer promptly objected, and considerable dis
order followed. Again. just before the House adj
joumed, Mr.. Page ATTEMPTED to offer his bill, but
the vigilant Springer objected and remarked that
Mr. Page better first take it up to the White
House and see whether the President would ap-
prove it,
I'VE have passed Chinese bill" shouted
the Illinois statesman. Other Democrats
chimcd IN with EXPLANATIONS and obJec-
tons and great disorder prevailed for
several moments. 1t did not subside until the DEM
ocrats had succeeded in demonstrating the fact that
they care not a fig whether the Chinese 4" go" or
:" come" except as agitation of the subject may
increase Democratic political capital Whatever
treasure of that sort the Democrats have accumu-
lated by the Chinese matter recently was utterly
squandered so far as that party in the House is
cerned by the performances Of Mr. Springer and his
followers to-day.
Mr.. Randall was shrewd enough to SEQ
the blunder that had been made, and he made
desperate efforts TO grasp the reins of
Democratic leadership. He at last succeeded in
making himself heard.with n proposition that the
Democrats would allow Mr.. Pages bill to be offered
provided those Democrats who had armed them
selves with bills on the same subject were permit
ted to offer them. No Republican had ever objected
until that moment indicated desire to offer such
bill Mr. Page anxious that his bill should 90
TO the calendar without the fOrmaty of reference
TO a committee. but the Democrats would not allow
it. His bill was finally admitted as were
two Others the same subject offered
by Democratic members. And then Mr. Springer
capped the climax of his absurdity. He asked per-
mission to print In The Record some remarks the
veto of the Chinese bill and appeared sadly dis
appointed when Mr. Kasson objected. The Presi-
dents veto of the bill was sent to the Senate. IN
which body the measure originated AS the Senate
has voted to sustain the yeto of course it never
quest was, therefore, as absurd as 1t was unpre-
code fed
