BOSS CAMERON's FOES


 Simon Cameron's statement that the Inde- work of free traders who are willing to assist the Democrats to overthrow protection is both astonishing and amusing when regarded in the light of the facts of the case In op- position to this statement it is pointed out that the movement has it's strength in the protectionist circles of the State, and that it's support in Philadelphia, Pittsburg and else- where comes largely from men who are directly interested in manufacturing The policy not to lose the elections for Congress- men involved in the Independent movement grew out of the general desire to preserve the protection line unbroken A long list could easily be made headed with such con- spicuous names John Welsh Joseph Wharton, William Sellers, Gen. J. K. Moor head and others of those already active in, or admittedly in sympathy with, the Independ- ent movement, and who are at the same time leading representatives of the manufacturing interests, while MT. Wharton Barker, who is designated in Stalwart circles as one of the most persistent and "unreachable' of the Independent organizers, is largely engaged in manufactures of iron, and is chairman of the executive committee of the Industrial League, an organization which includes large mum Der of heavy manufacturing concerns, and is emphatically devoted to protection. So much for this absurd declaration of Mir. Cameron, who, it would seem, being we'll acquainted with these facts, ought to have known better than to expose the weakness of his cause by such story.
 A correspondent of the New York IInes thinks that the stalwart machine in Pennsyl moro earnest of the Independents, who would prefer to "stand and be counted' now begin to apprehend that General Beaver perceives the futility of persisting in his candidacy, and will soon yield to the proposi- ton of MT. Stewart and his associates for the absolute withdrawal of both tickets and the holding of 8 new convention. Ut is known that he has been informed within 8 day or two by an influential personal friend who has been his warm supporter, that it is now plain his election is not possible, and the canvass made by MT. Cooper's committee has brought in returns from all over the State showing this to be the fact. The Stal- wart organ issued at Mir. Stewards home publishes estimate of the November re- turns, in which it assigns him 75,OOO votes thus showing the impossibility of Beavers election, and though the editor-who is ex- peeting appointment from Mir. Cameron as collector of internal revenue-stil sets down plurality for Beaver, it is evident that when Stewart takes 75, 900 away there can be no such thing.''
 Whether the stone hits the jug or the jug hits the stone, it is a bad thing for the jug, and it will be bad thing for Boss Cameron if he gives up the contest now waits for his defeat until election day. But what will be a bad thing for Cameron will be 8 good thing for Pennsylvania and for the country.

Electric railroads are making considerable progress in Europe. Putting aside numer- ous lines that merely projected, those which are working show length of about
 100 miles. Those now in operation include one at Lichterfelde, and that from the Span dauer Book to Charlottenberg near Berlin j; another from Port Rush to Bush Mills, in the north of Ireland, and in Holland from Zandvoort to Kostverioren. Among lines in construction the following are noted: In Austria, the Moedling line near Vienna; in Germany, from Wiesbaden to Nurnt Z. and

Those clerks in the departments at Wash ington who would not make voluntary contributions in answer to Mir. Hubbell's circular are not to be allowed to escape easi ly. Agents of the committee have been de- tailed to visit each of the departments and personally solicit the required amount. This forces an answer at once from every individ- ual and has brought many to terms who have heretofore quietly ignored the invita- tation contained in the Hubbell circulars The most unfortunate of all are those who were appointed but a week ago in the Interi- or department. They had not been given the chance to draw even half months pay be- fore being collared by the committees agent and asked to subscribe two per cent. of their annual pay, although their appointments were made for only six months.

BRowN's IRON B1TTERc is one of the very few tonic medicines that are not con- posed mostly of alcohol or wl1iskey, thus becoming a fruitful source of intemper- ance by promoting a desire for rum.

The executive committee of the Illinois Brewers association do not think much of the resolutions of the distillers in favor of strict Sunday laws and high license fee. They have adopted some resolutions express ing their opinion of the distillers' action and they charge the president of the Distillers association with being in favor of strict Sunday law, solely for the business reason that people, instead of drinking beer, wine and the purer and lighter kinds of spirituous liquors on Sunday will, purchase alcohol on Saturday in sufficient quantities to last over Sunday.

some time past-in fact ever since the cane

rangement with a neighbor, Richard Davis,
to watch the patch. Both armed themselves
with doublc-barreled shot-guns, and for some
cause or other the friends separated to meet
at the patch and Dunden was the first to reach
the patch. and he supposed that his friend was
already there, but on the opposite side, as
agreed upon. He had not been there long be-
fore he heard rustling in the cane, and, sup
posing the intruder to be a thief, let loose both
barrels. To his horror he found that he had
shot his friend, one load taking effect in
the stomach and the other SCATTERING his left
arm Dunden went at once for help, and Mr..
Davis was taken to Tankersley's house and a
physician sent for. As soon as the physician
saw the wound he pronounced it ii fatal one
Though Mr. Davis was alive yesterday, it is
thought that there is no CHARGE for him to
live. The affair is deeply deplored by all in

side, and their friends in the vicinity and in
Macon deeply regret the sad atfair.-AtdRtI,

spec:.Iations About the Comet.
WASHINGTON, October 8.

WASHINGTON, OctOOcr o.
Prof skinner. OF the Naval Observatory,
was intcrI .cwcd this evening in relation 10 tne
opinlonof Prof. Proctor and other eminent
Eur pean scientists, that the present comet IS
thu, of Isl and 1880 and that it will again re-
turn II S} and fall into the sum- causing ter
rble disaster to the earth. He said that while
Mr. Proctor had IL reputation among astrono-
mes Tor making rash announcements, there
was no use in rid cul NJ his idea. The comet
now visili he said, was certainly Il very re-
morkablc one, and in some of its features was
an extraordinary phenomenon. AS to the
possibility of a meeting between the comet anu
the sun, At some time, in the near future, he
said such an event was by no means imprOba-
bic He I'D not think it would be safe at this
time TO hazard definite opinion on Prof. Proc
tors prophecy: "1hr comet will be visible for
a month yet and we hope he said ito be
able with the aid Of telescope. to follow
it a month and half. We have not male
sufficient number of observations yet, nor has
it been visible long enough, to determine its
subsequent course. We don't know as yef,
nor will we be able for some time to find out
whether the track of the comet be that OF Il
pnrabola or an elliptic If it be the latter, there
is some reason to expect serious consequences.
The great comet now visible travels in patch

and 1850 Hubbard found the period OF reVo-
luton of the comet of 1913 to be over hVe
hundred years. The period OF revolution or
the comet of 1880 was over thirty years. Inc
period of the great comet now visible Is not
vet calculated with certainty, owing TO the I'M
tied time of observation. These three comets
| at the time of the nearest approach to the sun
| must traverse the solar atmosphere, thus eX-
| periencing a great degree of resistance. Inc
| facts, as far as known, are that these cometS
| are observed to travel in the same path II
| they are the same comet, that comets pain
! must have been violently changed by some
| outside e,rce. If they are not the same comet,
! then the hypothesis of Prof Stafford that they
are pieces of the 1913 comet may be held as
probable Prof. Skinner concluded by say
| ing that it was Idle to make any positive pre-
| di ctiOns of the future movements OF TINS com
| ct until it had been observed through longe:
arc He said that even if Prof. Proctors pre-
| dictiOn should be borne out it wouldn't ncces-
sarly follow that the destruction OF the earth
would result. Ii was all owing to what the
comet might be made of. He did not believe
it to be so very ponderable an affair, and IN
| the face of its coming in contact with the sun,
the sun may be able to take care OF 1t without
