lows The steady decrease OF the majority
by which the Republicans earrifd Ohio 10
trihing figures. as compared with former
msiOrities OF that party. has caused great
rebound OF feeling among Democrats in
the South. Where there was first gloom
there is now eXuliatiOn. The Democrats
are perfectly satisfied. They consider
Ohio a drawn battle, and find great cheer
in the splendid victory they have
achieved in West Virginia. The Re.
pubieans, who were enthusiastic and
defaut yesterday, are now despond-
ent. They are whistling 10 keep their
courage up. They confidently expected
the opening Of an aggressive and lively
campaign IN the South. Had Ohio been
carried by anything like 80, 900 majority. 1t
was their programme to effect an ineislon
deep into The solid South by the capture oi
such states as Virginia, south Carolina.
Florida. and Louisiana. Blaine himself.
when in Philsdelphia, told trusted and
prominent southern Republican leader that
after the Ohio election be would turn hi.
attention to the South. On this assurance
Republicans in the states named above, as
well a. IN others, were looking aDXiously
forward for campaign funds with which to
make a spirited canvass.
REPUBLICAN sCHEHEs ABANDONED,
In the past twenty-iOur hours all these
well-laid plans have been destroyed. West
Nirgina's wet blanket has completely de-
mOralized the Blaine managers. Tbs solid
South will now be severely let alone. No
funds will be invested in this section, and
the States will quietly gye their accustomed
Democratic maiorities for Cleveland and

This State, which some regarded ss close,
is now certain 10 give the Democratic nomi
nees a handsome majority. All OF the
other southern States, enthused by the Re-
publican failure in ohio, will do likewise.
The campaign, which heretofore was aps.
thetic on the part OF the Democrats. now
opens with yigor and determination. The
Republicans are dispirited, inert, diseour-
aged, and hopeless. All eyes are now
turned TO New York. and as the sssuran ;es
OF success there become more and more
certain. Democratic Joy runs correspond

The Rotation or the Earth.

IBrOfc-sor Ouns, IN Sclcnte.l
An important and anxious question OF
The modern astronomer is whether the
earth's rotation j. uniform, and, If not, IN
what way and to what extent does II
varys The Importance, OF course, hes
in the fact that this rotation fur-
nishes our fundamental measure ana
unit Of time. Up 10 a comparatively
recent date there has not been rea-
son to suspect this unit OF any variation
sufficient 10 be detected by human obser-
yation. 1t has long been perceived, OF
course, that any changes IN the eartb's
form or dimensions must alter the length
Of the day. The displacement OF the sur
face or strata by earthquakes or by more
gradual elevation aud subsistence. the
transportation Of matter toward or from
.ae EQUATOR by riycis or ocean currents.
the accumulation or removal OF ice IN ihe
polar regions or on mountain tops-anY
such causes must necessarily produce a
real effect. So. also, must the friction of
tides and trade winds. But II has been
supposed that these effects were so minute.
and TO such an extent mutually compenSa'
tory, as to be quite beyond the reach OF oh
seryation nor is IL yet certain that they
are not. All that can be said Is that II l.
now beginning 10 be questionable whether
they are or are not. The reason for sls-
pecting perceptible variation in the carih's
revolution lies mainly IN certain uneX-
planned irregularities in the apparent mo-
tions OF the moon. She alone, OF all the
heavenly bodies. changes her place
in the sky so rapidly that minute
inaccuracies OF second or two III
the time OF observation would lead TO sem
sible discrepancies In the observed posi-
ton. an error OF one second in the tune
corresponding TO about half second IN
her place--a quantity minute certainly
but perfectly observable. No other hea-
venly body has an apparent movement
anywhere nearly as rapid. excepting only
the inner satellite OF Mars and this body
is so minute that its accurate observation
Is impracticabIe, except with the largest
telescopes and at the times when Mars -
unusually near the earth.
