The United States did not insult Germany by

to transmit them to the Rechstag, and there is

going to war over a little piece of political bun

SUPERINTENDENT FRENCH.
SHOULD BE INVITED Down AND OUT.

SHOULD BE INVITED DOWN AND OUT.
Clay County Enterprise.
The general tenor of the evidence in the
French investigation is of such character as to
lead us to the conclusion that, in justice to the
men under him. he should be invited down and
out. This is an alleged free country, and slavery
in the postal service should no more be tolerated
and upheld by the PostOfice Department than
negro slavery should be allowed in the South by
the government.
THE TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENSE.
Evansville Tribune-New
A number of witnesses before the c. j. French
commission have testified that French was kind,
courteous, obliging, impartial competent and
honest. In reply to such testimony in the face
of the strong evidence against him, it is only
necessary to say that the rascal does not walk
who has official favors to distribute who will not
have few witnesses to swear by him. The
testimony of Frenchs friends doesn't amount to
anything, except where it specifically disproves
the charges made against him.
AN ABSURD INVESTIGATION.
indianapolis Daily News.
We have refrained from expression of opinion
upon the French case since the commission be-
gan its investigation. We do not in any sense
break this rule when offer the suggestion that
the investigation begins to wear an absurd APP
pearance. 1t is not to the point that clerks
should come from the east and from the west to
testify that Mr. French had been kind and con-
sidcrate with them. That is part of the offense
with which he is charged. Together with the
tyranny and injustice with which he was charged
by some clerks, it was charged by them also that
he was more than kind to other clerks. To pro-
duce these clerks seems to be but an aggravation
of the original Offense. Here" the public will
say, lis the very lot of favortes whom it is
charged Mr.. French pampered.' To continue
this sort of proceeding is like ofsetting charge
of theft drunkenness by the production Of
witnesses who will swear that they didn't see the
defendant steal or drink. The point is not an
imposing array of the gentlemen who have
summed themselves in Mr. Frenchs favor. but
whether or not the tyranny charged upon him
by sundry others is true,

SHELBYvILLE, Ind, June ..


To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
In reply to 'M. r. Y.:' The earth moves
east in its passage around the sun. His second
question, when is the earth directly above the
sum-" may be answered in short las l under
stand i'll June 20, at P. NJ. But this question
seems to elicit a much fuller explanation The
terms up and down, as applied to the heavens,
or to space, are simply relative, and, in one
sense, unmeaning; but in certain sense may
be definite, as 1 will try to show. The plane of
the earth's equator extended to the heavens in
definitely, is the equinoctial; and the plane of
the earth's orbit so extended is the ecliptic.
These two planes cross each other in the center
of the solar system-center of the sum- and the
angle between them is % 1872 Now, conceive
or imagine the equinoctial to extend east and
west the upper half leaning southwark at an an
gle of 40o from our zenith because we are 40o
north of the equator), and the ecliptic with or
near the equinoctial, but crossing it in such
a way that the line of intersection will
seem to be horizontal-through the center of the
sun and planetary space. We imagine this line
of intersection to be east and west and level.
Also, that the upper half of the ecliptc is below,
or south Of the upper half of the equinoctial,
and the lower half north Of above. that part of
be called the line of equinoXes When the earth
is in it, and west of the sun, it occupies the
tumnal equinox, and the sun will appear oppo
stein the vernal equinox. Then, at the begin
ming of spring-March 2I-the earth is west of
the sun, on a level or at the same height. And
as it moves eastward in its orbit, it must now
move up, inclining southwark from the equinoc-
tial making the sun appear to the north in
north decnation. So the earth will move up
ward during three months, making one-quarter
of its revolution circle, when it will be at its
highest point, and "above the sun. which this
year, is June 20, at P. NJ, and will be within a
day OF so of the same date in any year. The sun
is then furthest north, in the summer sostice,
and summer season begins. Still moving east,
the earth comes to the vernal equinox
September % 10 A. M-when the sun appears in
the autumnal equinox and fall commences. In
three months more the earth will be below the
sun and furthest north, when the sun will be
away south, in the winter solstice, and winter
season begins. In the lower half of its orbit the
earth would seem to move west, downward and
northward from the veTnal equinox to the lowest
point and furthest north, from where the sun APP
pears in the winter solstice, then upward to the
autumnal equinox having made the circuit of
the ecliptc in one year.
To comprehend the various motions and posi-
tions of the earth require considerable study; but
it is an interesting subject and worth good eff
fort Hoping the above panaton-result of
NV own thought without teacher-lnay assist
M. r. W and possibly Others l would simply
say, the planets all move in this same direction

The Religious Statesman.

1t is very manifest that whatever may be the
feelings entertained toward Mr. Gladstone by
some sections of the community ne still com
mands the love and admiration of tae noncon-
forlnits of England and of those who share their
views in the colonies. This was shown by a
rather telling scene at the Congregational Union
meeting on Tuesday, the 10th ult Mr. Searle
the ex-charman of the Congregational Union of
Australia, had occasion to name him in a certain
connection, and such was the effect produced on
the audience that the vast assembly rose as one
man and gave vent to their feelings in loud and
prolonged cheering. 1t was testimony in hon
of the man who, successfully or unsuccessfully,
principles of Christianity into national and in
ternational politics; and it was testimony from
an assembly which represents intelligence and
responsibility. There are many who think Mr..
Gladstone is wrong in regard to Egypt; but
there can be no doubt that his leading is a cor
rect one-do as we would be done by-and that
if statesmen in the past had been imbued with
his principles it would have been better for man
kind at large

CLOTHES PINS, TWELVE FOR A CENT,
Which Gives so Per Cent. Profit to the Maker
and Six Times as Much to the Dealer.

New York Sun.
ITO look at that clothespin," said the dealer,
you'd scarcely believe that the manufacturer
could make and sell twelve of 'em for cent and
have a profit of more than fifty per cent at that,
would your
mo" replied the reporter, "but don't know
anything about clothespins."
''Well," said che dealer "they whitttle 'em
out at the rate of eighty minute. A beech or
maple log, foot in diameter and ten feet long,
will white up into 1000 clothespins. That
log won't cost more than So. The clothespins
they cut out of it will be worth 500. 40.
1t will take them two hours and half to run
that log into clothespins which is whiting out
1900 an hour. At ten hours day they get
away with four logs, and have on hand As, 900
clothespins worth $685. 60. Now, the lumber for
these pins has only cost SO or so. If that was
all the expense, a man with a clothespin factory
might snap his fingers at the Standard Oil Com
pany or Grant a. Ward profits. But then those
logs must be sawed up by four different kinds of
saws One separates the log into lengths of six
teen inches; another saws these into boards
uhree-quarters of an inch thick; another cuts the
boards into strips three-quarters of an inch
square These strips are caught on a wheel that
hurries them to a gang of saws which chop
them into clothespin lengths. These lengths
are carried by swift-moving belt to
machine that seizes them, sets them IN lathe
that gives them their shape in the twinkling of
eye and throws them to an attendant who
feeds them to saw that moves backward and
forward as if it were madder than snake This
saw chews out the slot that the washerwoman
shoves down over the clothes on the line. and
the cothespin is ready, all but kiln drying and
polishing.
''The latter is done in a revolving iron cylinder
the same as castings are cleaned. Ali these pro
cesses cost money, and when the manufacturer
comes to put up his goods for sale he finds that
his profit on the As, 900 pins, his days work is
only about $l93. We pay the manufacturer a
cent dozen, or trife more than So thousand.
We are compelled. in these close times, to sell
them for four cents dozen, or $32 thousand"

Some of Worth's Fancies.
Harper's Bazaar.

Harner's Bazaar.
One of Worths new fancies is to cut the
Medics standing collar in one piece with the
dress waist and to fill up the front space of the
cred lace either white or black, as best suits the
fabric Another fancy of this modiste is the use
of double sleeves, one of which represents
pulled undersleeve with a waistband; he has al
so resorted to the former fashion of making the
sleeves of different material from that of the
corsage having them match the vest and the
lower skirt of combination dresses. Fan shaped
tabliers are much used both for overskirts that
are part of the lower skirt and also for poonaises
the pleats are set in at the top and they widen
below like a spread fen, the fullness being caught
up high on the sides where the back drapery be-
gins Such tabliers are very effective in ecru or
black piece lace, with gathered lace hounces
edging the skirt below.
