The New York Times of April 9th
says: There need be no doubt as
to which political party is in favor of
civil service reform if the conduct OF
me mbers of our State Legislature is to
be taken AS an indication. The dem
ocratic majority of the Assembly judiciary
Committee has made every effort to
smother the bill introduced two months
ago tor the regulation of the civil service
Of the State. BY the vigorous exertions OF
number of republicans in and out of the
committee the bill has been forced to the
light and is to be considered as the special
order this evening. 1t is likely to receive
the united support of the republicans in
the Assembly, but il it gets democratic
votes enough to carry it through. it is evil
dent that they will be grudglngly given.
Making every allowance tor the safety
with which the minority may act on a
question of this kind and for the desire of
the republicans to force their opponents
into embarrassment. it is clear that the
cause of civil service reform has much
more to hope for at the hands cf the re-
publican party than those of the democ-
racy. To expect any sympathy for it from
an organization still dominated by Tam
many Hall is like seeking to gather grapes

Democratic frauds in the Chicago elect.

the returns from the South Town ticket
has brought to light the fact in its 4th
precinct, Ward 2. that the ballot-box was
held for n day or two by the Judges, part
Of the time being in disreputable saloon.
When the box was opened for canvassing
it was discovered that the tally sheet had
been '.doctored' with chemicals, and 200
votes transferred from republican to
democratic candidates. The job had
been bunglingly done. and the evidence
of fraud is said to be conclusive.

Conversion of Nebulae into Stars.

The whole range of astronomy presents
no speculations which have attracted
more attention than the celebrated
nebular hypothesis of Herschel and Of
Laplace. We shall first enunciate these
speculations, and then we shall attempt
to indicate how far they seem to be
warranted by the actual state of scientific
knowledge. In one of his most memora :
BILE papers, Sir William Herschel pre-
sents us with summary of his observa-
tions on the nebule, arranged in such a
manner as to suggest his theory of the
gradual transmutation of nebulB into
stars. He first shows us that there are
regions in the heavens where a faint
disguised nebulosity is all that canbe de-
tected by the telescope. There are other
nebul@ in which q nucleus can be just
discerned; others again in which the
nucleus is easily seen; and still others
where the nucleus is a brilliant, star
like point. The transition from an OBJ.
ject of this kind to nebulous star is
very natural, while the nebulous stars
pass into the ordinary stars by few
graduated stages. It is thus possible to
enumerate series of objects, beginning
at one end with the most diffused
nebulosity, and ending at the other with
an ordinary fixed star or group of stars.
Each object in the series differs but
slightly from the object just before it
and Just after it. 1t seemed to Herschel
that he was thus able to view the actual
changes by which masses of phosphores-
cent or glowing vspor became actually
condensed down into stars.-Popular
Science Monthly.
