COSNIO DIST.

Professor Nordenskj6ld appears to have found In
the middle OF Greenland nothing but ice worms and
| cosmic dust. The ice was TO have been expected.
The worms were somewhat Of a surprise, no doubt
But the cosmiC dust is, in the language Of the I'M
mortal Swiveller " an unmitgated staggerer."
This mysterious matter was found so we are told,
in combination with common mundane dust, and
the Professor, who will have his Joke, named the
compound kryokonite. He supposes that the COM
mon dust blew over the ice from some part Of the
earth where dust is possible; but the cosmica dust
is said to be metallic" and presumably is easily
distingushable from the matter with which it is
mixed.
A quantity of it has been brought back for
analysis by the Professor, but while awaiting the
verdict of Science upon its nature the world would
like to have Professor Nordenskj5d's theory as to
how it got to Greenland. COsmical dust we suppose
means dust of the universe dust derived from all
tho other planets in system, and perchance
from stray comets and asteroids and things. 1t is
somewhat unfortunate that Science should not yet
have fully made up its mind as to the nature OF
the vehicle which fills the rplanetaTy spaces,
because, In the absence of anything more precise
than =" working hypothesis" IL may be difficult to
make 1t at all clear how the cosmcal dust got here
Also 1t is to beregrettod that Science has not yet
formulated any definite teachings as to the con-
ttuent elements OF any Of the other planets In the
cosmos Spectrum analysis has rendered many
speoulations on this subject possible, but nasmuch
as the spectrum proves the existence of much which
it cannot reveal perceptby 1t cannot be said that
Is has brought US much nearer q solution of the
problems to which it Is applied. And because our
knowledge of the external universe is thus far 80 very
Gagmentary and ndeterminate Ii is difficult to see
how it be possible for Science to clear up the
questions now addressed 10 IT,
Before we can say whether what Profes-
sOr NOrdenksijld has found in the interior
of Greenland really is "cosmic dustD it is
necessary TO know what cOsmio dust" is Of
course it is not onOughto demonstrate that this dust
IS unlike any found before upon this earth The OBJ
viOus answer to snch assertion would lie that the
whole surface of this earth has not been explored
and, notably. that the interior of Greenland has
never before been examined. Should it be found |
that the alleged cosmio dust" corresponds in its
structure to the matter Of mcCOritcs the presump-
ton that it came from inter planetary space |
would te strengthened, but 10 demonstration |
would be made. The difficulty is that Science has
no prccedents to guide it in inquiry of this kind
and however hard it may be TO believe that Green
lands icy mountains are tho reccptacles of common
dust the fact that dust forms at least part
Of Professor Nordcnski0lds "kryokonite proves !!
that it make its way over those fields of snow
and ice.

JUSTTFYIYG MURDER.
country.

The Grand Jury of Genesee County has re-
turned an indictment for manslaughter in the
first degree against Rowell, who deliberately
murdered johnson l.. Lynch i'll Batavia few
weeks ago. This indictment was evidently
found under the influence of that misguided
sympathy which always shows itself, to a
greater or less extent, with any man who under
takes to avenge personal dishOnor. The sur
prising statement is made that there was a
strong disposition On the part of the Grand jury
to declare the homicide justifable and refuse
any indictment, but that, on learning that the
case would have to be taken before another
Grand Jury, the jurors found the indictment
for manslaughter Juries have often failed to
convict in such cases, and they have been sus-
tanned by at least the more reckless sentiment
of the community, but it is unusual, and dis
graceful, to have jury of good citizens in a
law abiding community refusing an indictment
which it was their plain duty to find. The in
dictment found was an absurdity. Killing is
manslaughter in the first degree, "when COM
mtted without design 70 effect DEATH" either
by person committing or attempting INSIDE
meanor affecting the person or property either
of the person killed or OF another; or in the
heat of passion, but in a cruel and unusual man
ner or by means of q dangerous weapon.
This case, where a man chased another through
his house, firing four or five shots at him with
revolver, is far outside of these limitations.
The penalty of mansaughter in the first degree
is Imprisonment for not less than five or more
than twenty years.
Why will murdererS never be logical ? ROwcli
knew that he had no more right tc kill Lynch
than any other man, great "a the provocatiOn
was. The killing was not done In a gust of
passion. He lay in wait for Lynch and muir
dcred him with full consciousness of the nature
of the act. Now, having had the satisfaction,
as ho doubtless considered It, of killing the
miScrcant, why does not ROwell offer himself up
TO be hanged, like a mani He is intelligent
and knows that the laws must be enforced for
the protection of society. Ho knows that no
life would be safo if men are to be allowed to
Judge what degree of provocatiOn iustiics them
in shooting others. He knows that he has for
feited his life. Why not pay the forfeit hon
cstly But if the jury that tries him II any
thug like the jury that indicted him, he will be
acquitted even of man-laughter in the first de-
gCc upon which his friends will rejoice and
Mr.. Rowol will doubtless be rccOnccd 20 his
family. Wont you kiss me- Jennie T. was his
toariCl question to his wife as he went to Jail.
Her lips were still warm with Lynch's kisses,
ard she refused. There seems 10 be a good deal
Of slODLer in Our modern civilization.

DRIFTING AUlY MANUFACTURERS.

About 1000 hands employed in the carpet
establishment of f.. S. higgins are out of work
because about 14O of them, tie tapestry
viewers, refuse to run their looms at wages
abou; ten per cent less tan they have been re-
ccviEg for year past. 1t appears from tie
statement of the manager that the wages paid
have been the highest in the country in any
similar establishment; that an increase Of ten
per cent was demanded and given IN the
spring of 1851, and another of the same
amount soon after, and further increase of 10
per cent in March, 1852, which the IGanuiac-
tmcIs find they can no longer pay because of
the competition Of other establishments where
the rates paid are lower. Bat the weavcIs re-
fuse to work at the wage, which they demanded
and obtained as an advance in 1881, because
they have since enjoyed still higher wages.
This concern pays Sl35, 600 per month to 2, 600
persons ; an average of 81 60 each pog day,
and, according to the managers statement, they
worked for about 81 % per day in 1850, whcr
business was generally prosperous dcmaIdcd
and gained an Increase to an average of 81 II,
and again to an average Of 50 SO per day in
1851, when industry began to be depressed
and obtained further increase to 81 60 this
year, when business was still worse hut now
refuse to work at about 81 81 per day.
Cannot wOrlingmen see that it is by just such
steps as this that they make employers afraid to
grant any advance in wages even when business
is best If the wOrkingnen show no Judgment
nor sense of right, but insist upon retaining
every advance granted, whether the business Is
good OF bad, the employers may just as well re-
fuse at the outset to grant any wages which
they are not sure they can pay in bad times rs
well as good. Especially If worl,ingmen de
mand an advance, as these did last spring, ut 4
time when business is unusually depressed, and,
after employers have assented hoping for better
times, refuse to go back to the old rates when
a still worse condition of business makes it
necessary, is it not lesson to employers never
to cOncede any advance that they can possibly
avoid9 Mr.. Higgins appears to have been UNI
usually ready to meet the wishes of his work
ers three advances in twelve months would
not be granted by many. But his return is

The Republicans OF Ncw-York made vigor-
ous canvass, this fall, and the consequence was
that they achieved a victory of no mean proper
lions 70 elect a Republican Senate Republic
can Assembly and the head OF the Republican
State ticket would have been, if rot glory
enough, certainly n generous need of glory for
any year But to secure such substantial fruits
of victory in 4 contest directly following the one
i'm which the Democrats were successful by the
enormous majority of $4,000 was peculiarly
gratifying Nevertheless, although we did so
well. we ought to have done better. We ought to
nave elected the entire State ticket. And if the
canvas, could have been prolonged ten days
we doubtless would have done So, since II was
evident during the last few days before election
that there was 4 general waking up all along the
line to the belief that we could win if we chose.
4, il was, undcr-coufdCncc cost us four State
offices. The OgdcnsbHrg journal, recognizing
th, fact, says: If there was IN election again
next Tuesday the Republicans could carry tho
State by almost any majority they wished. The
difficulty in the late canvass was to make them
believe that the $4,000 majority could be
overcome" We do not brngup this subject in
order Ia she'd tears over spilled milk That is
always a vain exercise. But it will be well to
bear the experience Of this year in mind when
we enter tho Presidential fight next year

The sessions of the National Academy OF
Sciences, which closed yesterday in New-Haven,
have been of more than ordinary interest The
papers and the discussions cannot fail to attract
attention throughout the entire scientific world
Perhaps the topic which excited the most popu-
lar interest was the report of what was accom-
plished by the solar-eclipse expedition to
Caroline Island. Here Professor Holden and
Dr. Hastings shone with noteworthy brilliancy.
Professor Rowland followed closely in their
footsteps with his series of photographs of the
solar spectrum. Professor Brewers paper on
the subsistence of particles in liquids is of in
terest not only from scientific but from prac-
teal point of view-to agricultursts and wine
bottlers The large share of the honors borne
off by the youngest members of the Academy
is noted with pleasure. The older Acade-
micians must look to their laurelS.

The report that the French forces have met
with defeat in Tonquin must be accepted with
allowance. 1t seems to have been made known
FIRST In the Paris Bourse and likely enough it
was for speculative purposes. The report
gained some credence probably from the fact
That Admiral Courbet commanding the French

troops in Tonquin, said in his last dispatches
that he should attack Santoy between the 10Th
and goth of this month. Bad news travels
fast; but unless the Admiral made his attack
ahead Of time the report of battle, successful
or otherwise, could hardly reach Paris so soon
The arrest of man on the Paris Bourse, on the
charge of spreading alarmist news" strength
ems the impression that the alleged defeat is
untrue.

The young man who fOurisheda pistol around
the Government Offices in Paris yesterday,
expressing his desire TO shoot NJ. Ferry, is
plainly enough alunatic. In the present temper
of the Government, however, he will hardly be
treated as an entirely irresponsible person. He
is dangerous enough to be kept locked up.
Crazy people cannot, of course, be punished in
the strict meaning of the word; but when their
insan ty leads to freaks of this kind It'll unwise
TO treat them with too much lcniency. Better
err on the safe side. Then other weak
minded persons lettering on the borders of
madness, will not be encouraged at least to let
20 their self-restraint.

the change does not go into effect until noon,
on Sunday it will afford no excuse for being

The difficulty of cOnvictng a man of crime
committed in the presence of lawless people
only was conspcuously illustrated in the
trial of William Porter, begun yesterday in
Abe Court of Oyer and Termincr. When this
man shot Walsh in Diapers rumshop, no one
was there whose word was worth anything
even under oath. 1t does not matter that the
witnesses were friends of Walsh. He is dead,
and thus is useless to friends and harmless
to foes; but Porter lives and is known to be
desperate man who always goes armed
and takes vengeance on his enemies. At what
disadvantage the prosecution is placed, under
these circumstances it is easy to understand
1t was apparent yesterday.
