Last year a comet was discovered
and it subsequently became visible to
the naked eye and attracted universal
attention. The superstitious imine-
diately came to the conclusion that
war and pestilence would follow but
they were held up to ridicule when
their predictions were not fulfilled.
This year another comet has made
its appearance. Before very long it
win also be visible to the naked eye
as it is rapidly approaching the earth
and sun. There was some doubt as
to its identity at first, but scientists
have now come to the conclusion that
it is the long expected comet of 1912
which is just making its reappear-
ance.
From observations made at Hazard
University and by Professor Brooks,
at Phelps, New York, after whom the
comet is named, it appears to have
experienced an extraordinary out
burst Of light recently amounting to
six or eight times its previous bril-
liancy. The general aspect of the
comet according to Professor Chand-
Ter, of Hazard University, has also
changed from confused nebulosity
with q faint nucleus to a star-like OBJ
ject In addition to all this it has
a family defined tail.
These are important developments
and viii be seized upon largely by
the superstitious people who were
last year ridiculed as means of veri-
flying their predictions. A new comet
comes this year and the calamities
that did not come last year certainly
did come in 1883. And more than
that, the memory of living man rum
meth not back to the period when SO
many disasters occurred during the
same length of time as have been
recorded thus far during the present
year. Truly it is seldom that the
superstitious are lacking in mysterious
incidents 10 sustain their seemingly
foolish predictions.

We would not have Democrats to
do anything to test the powers or clog
the wheels of government, but we
would have some system of economy
pursued by which the treasury at
Washington would be, not exactly de.
pleted, but kept at q low water mark.
Let us abolish the revenue system,
and then regulate the tariff. A full
treasury invariably begets corruption.
We believe the pensions and pension
frauds that passed the last Congress,
that take away over one hundred
millions Of dollaas from the treasury
annually. are due to the existence of
the revenue system. Had this money
not been in, and flowing with such a
steady stream into the treasury, no
such sum of money would ever have
been thus hastily and recklessly voted
away, under any pretext.

The lnsincerity Of Platforms.

The platforms adopted by Repubi-
can State conventions amount to little
or nothing as expressive of the true
sentiment of the people. They are
always prepared beforehand by few
of the machine workers and adopted
in haste and without consideration by
the bodies to which they are preaent-
ed. Not infrequently they are utter
~ inconsistent. Some recent evi-
dences that support this statement
have been given.
The Republican conventions of New
York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey
have as q matter of course endorsed
the administration Of President Ar
thur. They chiefly commend the
President for the manner in which he
has supported civil service reform
BY the inconsistency Of such an en-
dorsement it is apparent that it was
only given because an omission to do
so would have excited much unfayor-
able comment.
It Is well known and must be con-
coded by Republicans as well as Dem
ocrats that no President since Grant
has so openly and to such an extent
violated the rules Of civil service re-
form as President Arthur. His course
in the management Of New York pol
tiles need not be mentioned. Il is
but necessary to refer to the Infamous
compact he has made with Malone
OF Virginia by which the latter is
given whatever he demands in the
way Of patronage in order to assist
him in carrying the State and build
ing mp an administration party in the
South. Republicans who have any
independence viii swallow o large
dose If they take in the endorsement
OF President Arthur 90 a civil service
reformer.

Fashion Notes.

Costly satin fabrics, brocaded with
clusters of walnuts, are imported.
Dotted and tambour muslins, worn
over color, with yards of lace and rib
bons for trimming, are among the pref
test OF toilets for the seaside.
Gold basket-straw bonnets, trimmed
with fame-colored lace and fancy sill
YER straws and velvet intermingled, are
the newest fancies in French millinery.
The Chinese and Japanese styles of
head-dress are in high vogue among
ultra-fashionable women, and the stars
and heads Of the pins they use to thrust
through the tOp-kn0ts are often studded
with diamonds, rubies and pearls of
rare value.
Among the most costly fabrics for
summer evening toilets are zephyr bro
cades and brocatelles, with brilliantly
colored exotics ON dark grounds; mag
nifcent Indian tissues, woven with
threads of gold or silver; heavy otto
mans in all the new artistic shades:
lampas, with satin stripes figured with
velvet flowers, and danasks, with huge
single flowers or bouquets in clusters.

rose, pineapple, cinnamon and golden

Summer mantles offer but little variety
in shape from those Of last season; they
are demi-pelisse visite, and manteletts

pensive wraps are made of brocaded

gauze, finished with marabout frinp6s.

Many Of the new parasols of silk and

Commissioner Dudley, of the pen.

Commissioner Dudley, of the PEN
sion bureau, does not do all of his
talking at one time. Several days
ago he put the taxpayers in better
hunor by giving publicity to some
figures indicating that the worst part
of the pension business is behind us;
and now he tells US that having begun
this year with an unexpended balance
of $50, 900, 900 he has for use this
year $125, OOO, 900, of which o large
amount viii remain unexpended.-
The appropriation to be made by the
approaching Congress need not be
large. He proposes also to discharge
$50 of his clerks. All this is calcu-
lated to make the people good natur-
ed. We wonder if the approaching
elections have any bearing on these
timely announcements. But whether
they be intended for political effect or
not, we are glad to note them all the
same. We want to see these pension
payments fall back to fixed status
of $45, 600, 900, which will also be
the interest charge next year. When
these combined items fall within
$50, 900, 600 the finances of the gov
eminent will be very plain sailing.

for years the people pay them q heavy
