The right ascension of Mars is 9Th 33m, his
declination is 150 40 south and his diameter
is 4" A
Mars rises on the LIST about six O'Clock in
re morning; on the 31st he rises about five
o'clock.
Venus is morning star, and Though
placed last on the list is by no means least.
She is superb object in the morning sky,
rising two hours and quarter before the
sun, and continuing visible till within few
minutes of sunrise. She has, however,
fallen from her highest estate, her bright
face grows dim. and her stay above the hori-
zon decreases as she wends her way towards
the sun and away from the earth. The fair
est OF the planets pays her respects on the
26th to the small star Delta Capricorni, pass
ing about three degrees north. Thus We
nus, Mercury and Mars are oil in Capricor-
nus during some part of the month, near
the sun, and near each other.
The March moon fulls on the 23d at twen-
ty minutes past one O'Clock In the evening.
rhe full March moon plays an important
part in the affairs of men; for as she fulls
three days after the vernal equinox, she de-
termines, in accordance with the law, that
Easter shall fall on the following Sunday,

case again either in this or the following
century. The moon pays her respects to

To the PollSl

The discussion of the reasons for and
against the rejection of Mayor Libby has
been thorough, and entirely to his credit.
The weight of the argument is indisputably
In his favor, and if the voters of Portland
who believe him to be the best man named
for the Mayorship will go 10 the polls his
election by large majority is certain. On
this, the morning of election day it is
waste of time and space to rehearse the ar
gument. Exhortation is in order. Mems
minds are made up on the merits of the
question. Their duty now is to act on the
strength of their convictions.
The interest of those who favor the re-
election of Mayor Libby is simply an inter-
est in good government. The interest of
those who most strenuously oppose him is
self-interest. They are men who have been
disappointed in the matter of contracts,
whose exorbitant bills have been disallowed.
whose best-laid schemes have gang agley
through the vigilance and honesty of the
Mayor, or who are angry because he has en-
forced some law the breaking of which
would be to their benefit. They are bent on
revenge, and will spare no pains to crafty
their spite. This crowd will be at the polls
to man and will neglect no means how
ever dishonest, to carry its point. Its fight
with the Mayor is personal. On the other
hand the supporters of Mr.. Libby having NO
personal interest at stake, may not exert
themselves. Men have more interest in their
own welfare than in the common welfare.
For the one they usually look out sharply.
The other they are apt to neglect.
To those who believe Mr.. Libby the better
man, who think his administration has
been wise and prudent, who hold that
faithful public servant should be continued
in service, we appeal. We beseech them TO
cast their votes for conservative and econ
omical administration of city affairs, for the
preservation of law and order, for the ap-
proval of magistrate who has discharged
the duties of his responsible office with wis
dom and discretion. Their failure to vote
may result most disastrously. and they will
be sadly derelict in duty if they neglect to
exercise the right of franchise.

Moral Sunset or Sunrise.

What would become of our American
civilization were it not fed by the diviner
minds that once lived and that now live up
on less mercenary shores? The greatness OF
the human mind flows into our valley from
other mountains than our own. Our cont
nent is only the place where the Alpheus
river emerges, having first passed under the
sea. All the magic, and health and sweet
ness of the waters come from other chimes
where there was more inspiration in the
light and air. Luther was called a "God
intoxicated man, and he was only one of
multitude over which in some form the
breath of the Almighty had passed, waking
up wisdom. The great artists reaching from
Beethoven to Wagner, the theologians from
Luther TO Guyon, and Feneion and Wesley
compromised at least the spirituality of
the world, and rose above mere noise of the
factory and the market-place If there are
those living in America who can dispense
with the influence of a God, they can do it
the more easily since the men back of them
were Northumberland, and so wound UP
the springs of the human soul that perhaps.

ton of to-day so much as of to morrow.
Under the constant drain upon the resource
es of society made by men wholly occupied
with traffic, will not the wheels of all noble
action gradually slow their motion and fu
ture generations say Man, the inspired,
has stopped? 1t must often seem to many
of you that our count ry is living upon for
tune accumulated in the past by different
hands than our own and willed to us by
another heart In that estate were temples
and affairs and many shapes of divine in
spiration, and we profigate heirs are spend
ing our fortune in riotons living and are on
our way to final husks and rags. 1t is to be
hoped this picture is not true and that in
some new form the spirit Of man is receiving
inspiration from the Almighty; but when
one moves among the youth of the times
and marks their zeal along low or unworthy
paths, and how few footprints there are on
the roads that lead over the heights, the
scene almost justifies those who fear that
our light is fastening toward an evening
rather than a morning. 1t is sometimes
difficult in morals to distinguish between a
sunrise and sunset

The New Tariff.

The new tariff bill passed by Congress
Saturday will not be entirely satisfactory to
any one; but it was the best that could be
done under the circumstances. It is COM
promise measure, and only compromise
measure stood any chance of adoption. The
interests concerned were so many, SO pow
erful, and so conflicting that it was difficult
to frame measure that would satisfy them
all. A little yielding had to be made here
and little there. The reduction is small
on any one article, but the aggregate, some
sixty or seventy millions of dollars, is very
considerable reduction of taxation and a
great lessening of the burden borne on the
broad shoulders of the American people.
The burden was not grievous it is true, but
the locking up of so much money in the
treasury was an annoyance that threatened
to become a serious danger to business. The
money could not be economically applied to
the reduction of the public debt, the people
were displeased to see it spent on river and
harbor improvements, and the boarding of
it in the treasury vaults was detriment to
business. So the only thing to do was to
strike off some of the taxes.
That has been done, -judiciously in some
instances, injudiciously in others. We
would prefer to see the entire reduction OF
seventy millions made on the tariff and no
change made in the internal revenue. We
fail especially to perceive the wisdom of
cutting down the rate on tobacco. The
burden should have been taken from articles
OF necessity. But on the whole the work
done is good. The revision is the only one
practicable under the circumstances. The
people demanded reduction of taxation
and Congress has obeyed their behest. Had
it not been for the vexatious delay of the
Democratic minority better bill might
have been passed.

those duties is presence at the polls. No

With clouds that sail the heavens through
And mountain slopes so broad and fair,
With here and there among the green
A maple or an ash tree seen

With cattle resting in the shade;
Far mountains touched with purple haze;

"waive his constitutional privilege" as it is
called, but Mr.. Hendricks, after examining care
fully into the matter, decided that the Gov
ernor could not consider a bill that was passed
on the last two days of a legislative session. and
wrote a message to that effect, which is now in
