In the church she so loved, her place, who can

In submission you bow, for you know tits His

Is it not about time for the Senate commit
tee on labor and education to call upon men
for evidence who are practically engaged in
one or both of the fields upon which the
committee is seeking to elicit light and in
formation? Up to the present the wit
nesses have chiefly been corporation bosses,
manipulators of stock markets on the one
hand, and wild theorists, like Henry George
on the other. The committee has made an
admirable success in befogging the subject
and will return to Congress with a very poor
stock of stuff for intelligent and fair legisla-
ton

been widely divided. AS class the Irish
have been rabidly opposed to the colored
man, and it evinces a spirit of true magnan-
unity in the latter to eytend good wishes to
the former. Unaccoyhtably fine Irish, in
the main, have been the steadfast allies of
the Democratic party, which party has
ever been the Friend and abettor of
the oppressors Of the men lately re-
deemed from slavery. There ought to be
reciprocal feeling in the breast of every Irish
man for those who have so sincerely ex-
tended sympathy for the Irish people in
their efforts to obtain justice from the gov
eminent under which they live. The Rspub-
lican party has been broad enough in its
views to recognize right from wrong every
where, whether it was in the case of the
Irish striving to secure home-rule or the
negro slave struggling for freedom and rights
unlawfully withheld from him. There are
no sincerer friends than those who have
suffered alike, and there is no good reason
why every Irishman may not cordially grasp
the friendly black hand.

confined to one day in the week, which af-
fords no opportunity for display to those
who are necessarily put to much pains and
expense IN the transportation and arrange
ment of their exhibits. There is no reason
to doubt that an exposition in the city could
be made sufficiently inviting, by merchants
and manufacturers, to insure a liberal at
tendance for a considerable period. What
is wanted is the proper location and the
development of such spirit as has made
so great a success of the Cincinnati and
Louisville expositions.

SENATOR SHERMAN, whose level-headedness
and political sagacity will not be questioned
in published interview expresses the opin-
ion that the Republicans will elect both
their State and legislative tickets in Ohio
but he does not look for any majority that
will recall the campaign of 1880 He thinks
the prohibition amendment will be heavily
supported, entirely outside of and independ-
ent of party lines, but that it will not carry.
Some of the strong Democratic counties will
give prohibition decided majority He does
not look for an unusually heavy poll, and
has no idea that the vote of the Foster Ew-
ing campaign, much less of the Garfield
campaign, will be brought out.

Retu rn of the Comet of 1912.
,e EDITOR of the rndianapol,s Journsp

TO the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
About two years since a systematic search for
comets was undertaken by several astronomers,
a particular portion Of the heavens being select
ed by each observer Mr. W. r. Brooks, of
Phelps, N. Y, one of the amateurs engaged in
this search observed on the night of Sept. 3 a
small object, which he at once suspected to be a
comet. 1t was circular; more than a mfsute
In diameter; had a welldetned star-hke
nucleus, and without a tail. His sur
mise soon proved correct, and the dis
coyery was Immediately announced to
other astronomers From about two weeks OBJ
servatlons at the Dudley Observatory, in New
York, Prof. Lewis Boss, the director, found the
elements of the comets orbit SO nearly conc-
dent with those of the comet discovered by Pons
on the Goth of July, 1912, as to leave no doubt
of their identity. This Interesting fact was
given to the public on the evening of Sept 10.
The comet of 1912 was visible ten weeks, and
WAS well observed. The orbit computed
by Encke has generally been regarded
as the most accurate. The time of
perihelion passage was September Is,
1912, and the estimated period nearly seventy
one years. The comet, in fact will reach the
point of it's orbit nearest the sun on the 25th of
January, 1884 closer agreement could not
have been expected. 1t will be nearest the
earth. according to Professor Chandler. about
the middle of January, 1884, when its distance
will be about sixty millions of miles. 1t will
probably be visible to the naked eye in Decem :
Der and January
In small work on com cts and meteors, pub
lished by the writer a few wears since. atten-
tion was called to the remarkable fact that tn e
comet OF 1912 moves in an orbit differing very
little from that of De Vicos comet of 1916, a
fact winch seems Indicative of a common origin.
