A LATE number of the Observatory IAN
astronomical journal published in Londonl
in referring to Professor Kirkwood's we'll
known views as to the cause of certain gaps
or vacant spaces IN the zone OF asteroids and
also in the ring Of Saturn, remarks:
professor Kirkwood showed some twenty
years ago that Jupiter exercised a peculiar
influence over the minor planets, tending TO
produce well-marked gaps amongst them at
certain well-defined distances. For, if the
period of any minor planet were common
suTable with that of Jupiter, the latter
would exercise a %perturbing influence upon
1t, which would eventually result in a COM
plete change of orbit. Later on, in 1868,
Professor Kirkwood employed the same
principle to account for the great di-
vision (Cassini's) in Saturn's rings.
Maxwell bad shown that the
rings must be formed OF separate particles
moving round the planet 70 a certain ex-
tent as independent satellites. But a body
moving round Saturn at the distance of Cas-
sini's division would have a period that was
very closely commensurate with those OF
each of the six inner satellites, and it would
therefore be especially exposed TO perturba-
ton. DR.. Never has carried the principle
yet further, and has in Investigated every pos
sible combination of the commensurabilities
of the revolution periods OF the satellites,
and he finds that, including the division of
Cassini, there are seven places where the
satellites would unite to exercise a perturb-
ing influence on the members of the ring
system"
After stating i'll detail the result Of DR..
Meyers researches, the Observatory con-
cludes that the correspondence between cal
c~ulation and observation as to the diyi-
sions of Saturn's rings seems now to be com
plete. Professor Kirkwood, we are informed,
has now ready for the press an extended
treatise on the asteroids or minor planets,
their discovery, magnitudes, motions, etc,
together with a statement in popular form
Of his theory OF the irregular distribution Of
the asteroids in space.

not a hope.

IT appears that Secretary Teller entertains
almost identically the same views about the
Indian question that the Journal has long
mair tanned. In a recent interview at Chicago,
upon bis return from a tour through the In
dian country of the Northwest. he expressed
himself as follows:
Speaking of Indian matters, the Secretary
said that the time had come when tine In
dian question must be handled without
gloves. 1t was absurd that large tracts of
valuable land should be given mp to savages,
when the public needed them. He had been
much struck with this fact travelling over the
Northern Pacific, where. at one point in
Montana, for about 100 miles, the road ran
through an apparently desert country, which
seemed to be very fine land. Noticing no
cattle or any of the evidences of civilization,
when he reached Billings lie inquired into
the matter and found that the tract was the
Crow reservation 900. 900 acres given up
to about $500 Indians. who had no use
for the land, and yet kept other people, who
could utilize it, from doing so. He had read
the views express@ by DR.. McGillicuddy in
the Tribune, and they conceded with his

and wanted all hepould get. If you offered

cesses. This man has made a discovery. In
an unlucky moment he s%peculated on the
problem of how many ancestors each indi-
vidual has. He argued that each person has
a father and mother-two persons. Each of
these has a father and mother-four more;
each OF these a father and mother-eight,
and so on. Applying the rule of arithmet-
ical progression, he figures out the vast num-
the time of Christ. about forty
six generations. He gets the
remarkable total of 139, 245, OF, 4S9, 534, 076,
as the number of ancestors necessary to the
nineteenth century human being. This is so
vast that the average reader is content to
take it for granted that it is true. A short
calculation will reveal its absurdity. There
are in round numbers 1000, 900, 900 Zone
thousand million) people in the world. The
average duration of human life is thirty
three years. little more. The array of
figures presented above represents, in round
numbers, 139, 900, 600 times a thousand mill
ions. Now, if the population of the earth
died at the rate of one thousand millions a
year the number of ancestors figured out by
this wise man would suffice to keep this earth
of ours fully populated for 1885, 0O,0 900 years,
or four million generations. But since the
average human life is thirty-three years, but
one-thirty-thiid die annually, so that the
ancestors" would people the earth for nos
less than 1887, 600, 600 years. This conclusion
is perhaps fully as astounding as was the
original proposition The arithmetical pro-
gressional man has calculated more human
beings than have ever peopled the earth or
probably ever will, with a thousand more
such worlds thrown in.

C~oLoRApo pioneers celebrated the twenty
fifth anniversary of the discovery Of gold in
that State, on Thursday, at Denver. The
early settlers OF Western Territories are not
long-lived, as a rule, and Green Russell, the
original discoverer of the precious metal, or
at all rates, whose discovery was first noised
abroad, died long ago, and few of his COM
panions in those exciting days survive. The
pioneers are mostly men who came some
years later, but when they contemplate the
changes and improvements which have taken
place IN the region within their recollection,
they feel that they are veterans indeed.

License Law Versus Prohibition.

SteUUtU htpUDHCan.
Liquors are now recognized in the commercial
world as legitimate articles OF trade, and the at
tempt to legislate them out OF existence, or near
ly so, will be met with determined opposition
from the many million dollars invested in the
traffic all over the country. 1t will be most ma
tural for all those engaged In the trade to COM
blne against a law which they deem arbitrary
and unjust. and coupled with their efforts ia the
demand for liquor. AS long as there is a demand
for liquor it will be manufactured and sold, and
this demand cannot be controlled by legislation.
we have, during the past few weeks, talked
with many of our leading business men and
farmers, and without an exception they We're i'll
favor OF high license as against prohibition.
Their reasons are, because they believe that q
high license law is a practicable one, and that
prohibition, from a variety OF causes, must fall
of lis nurnOar.

him $50 an acre and then a congressional
committee came along and asked him if he
was satisfied he would say no, that he had
been tricked, thinking to get better terms.
What the Senate committee would decide
upon in regard to the Sioux reservation, Mr..
Teller said he could not say, but he had no
doubt that three-fourths OF the adult Sioux
could be persuaded to sign the agreement to
cede that part of their reservation that the
government desired. The rank and file were
usually open to argument; it was the head
chiefs who gave the trouble. because they
hated to see their power diminish. One
thing was certain, there was no use treating
any longer with them; it would be better to
simply legislate for them as for other Amer
lean citizens. They should be paid for the
lands taken from them, but the reservation
must be cut down to rational limits and not
be allowed to retard the advancement of civ
ilization."

CrawfOrd5vilIe Review.
Too much cannot be said about the dangers or
stock gambling. 1t is felony from every side it
can be vlewed-not In a statutory sense, but in
reality, in good morals, i'll sound reason, and in
the blinded presence of perfect justice. 1t has
cast its blight over the whole land; it has brought
grief and tears and hunger TO more than a nun
dred happy homes in Montgomery county; it
has shaken public confidence and shattered the
foundations of trade; 1t has polluted the fOun-
tains of official integrity. and Swallowed the
crime. The church and the state must look the
monster in the face. Men cannot buy and sell
that which does not exist. 1t is against public
policy that it should be attempted. Honest in
dustry must not be plundered by combinations
OF men who produce nothing. Incidence must
not be permitted TO steal the frnits of labor.
Such a state of things, long continued, would
destroy society, and society is the hope of the
State.

IN referring to a remark by Senator Blair
to the effect that the newspapers were OPP
posed to the best interests OF the laboring
men, the Columbus Republican says:
There is scarcely an issue of any reputable
paper that does not contain one or more
articles defending the rights of the laborer
against the encroachments of the money
power, and it is the wholesome influence of
the press that prevents monopolies assuming
still greater authority. and corrects abuses
where they become fragrant, and which other
wise would go on unrestrained until checked
by force. If Senator Blair is as ignorant on
all other subjects as this, he may we'll be
seeking light to guide him in his legislative
duties.n

IT is gratifying to find that the State fair
of this year gives promise of being more sue
cessful than for a few years past. The appli-
cations for space by exhibitors more than
meet the expectations of the managers. 1t
is to be hoped that the people of the State and
of this city will wake up to the importance
OF making it worthy of the name OF a State
fair. State pride and city pride should in
spire the people to make it an exhibition
that will he worthy of commentator as
showing the products of the State. The
agricultural, mechanical and natural pro-
ducts of Indiana, with a fair display of
horses, cattle, hogs. sheep, and the articles
that go 10 make up the comforts and con-
v~eniences of life, will make an exhibition
that will compete we'll with the great exposi-
tons now being held in the adjoining States.

disadvaD tages for some years, which, happily,
there is promise they will soon overcome.
Success this year will guarantee success in
the future.

LOST OPPORTUNITIES,


The Democrats of the country are greatly
torn up over the question as to who shall be
their candidate in the presidential contest of
next year. They go about crying, 10 here
and 10 there" as the warnings of Antichrist
in the Bible.
The 'old ticket" just now appears to have
the call, but it will be the least probable of
several that have been named, after
it shall have been discussed, and as the
meeting OF the convention approaches.
The old ticket is one of the lost
opportunities of which there have been so
many in the history of the leaders of the
great political parties of this country. The
tide in the affairs of a political leader must
be taken at the hood that rarely comes
but once in the lifetime of a presidential
aspirant. Successful presidential candidates
have been reelected because of the con-
tinuation of the same feelings, opinions and
necessities through their administration that
made the first nomination and election a
possibility, together with the power the
place gave, as with Washington, Jackson,
Lincoln and Grant.
Mr.. Clay, the pride and almost the auto
crat OF the old Wing party, was not a posi-
bic President after his first defeat, which
was the grave OF his hopes. So with Webster
in that grand old party; his candidacy ever
developed antagonisms that made defeat in
evitable. In the Republican party many
bright and glorious morning suns have
arisen only to set chino the storm clouds of
opposition before their day was fairly done,
as with Conkling, Bristow and Blaine. The
nomination of either of these gentlemen now
by the Republicans would absolutely insure
defeat, 1t would not be possible to unite
the party upon either of them. The cpposi-
ton would be too strong to be overcome at
the polls, even should they succeed in a con-
v%ention.
The great Democratic leaders have been in
POPULAR in and out of the army, could not
succeed on a platform that declared his three
years OF military leadership a failure. Han
cock soon demonstrated that he knew more
of tactics than of tariffs. The feeling that
fosters the call for the old ticket OF '76, Til
den and Hendricks, is that they were cheat
ed out of their Offices by the count; but the
added years to the physical inirmities of
both Tilden and Hendricks have not added
to their moral or physical courage, and the
Democracy will hardly attempt to cross the
river upon the bridge that broke when its
foundations and tim beers were sounder than
now. This Democracy that set aside the old
ticket for a new one in 1880 will hardly re-
trace its steps over eight years in 1884. The
principle they discarded for expediency once
will not prove a talisman upon a second
trial. 1t has lost its virtue by neglect and
lapse OF time. Tit nope OF the Democracy
lies in an untried leader. Whether he shall
be Mcdonald, Bayard, Randall or Voorhees,,
no one can now say, but that it will be some
such is certain. The old ticket is a memory,
not a hone.
