The scientific editor of the Chicago
Tribune almost paralyzes the people OF
this generation by the statement upon his
reputation as a scientist that in thirty
million years from now the earth will be
uninha bited by any living thing and will
be as cold, waterless and cherries as the
moon. He makes this assertion in dis
cussing the recent discovery of the Ger
man astronomer that the moon is inhab-
tied, which he says was possibly true
millions of years ago but the moon is de-
void of water and has not an atmosphere
that would sustain animal life. The Trib-
une scientist IS too narrow in his views. lie
evidently takes the earth standard as his
basis OF calculation and conjecture, and
forgets that the same power that brought
the moon into existence and surrounded
it with its peculiar atmosphere could
people it with animal life suited to such
peculiar conditi ons.

The Thurman boom, as a democratic
candidate for the presidency, seems to
have died out as suddenly as it sprang in
to existence. Thurman IS genuine rep
resentative of democracy in its purer days
when the party was led by such men as
Jackson. Benton and Douglas. He is q
man of brain and character, too much so
to get down into the slums and barter for
the nomination with such ward manlpu-
lators as the notorious Kelley of New
York. There is not much probability
that the national democratic convention
which meets in Chicago the sth OF July
will give much weight to either the good
character or great abilities of Judge Thur
man, and perhaps it is best, for he is too
good a man to be sacrificed as any man
they put up against Blaine surely will be.
No man, be he republican or democrat,
who is aquainted with the political life
of Hon. Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio, but
what admIres him for lis purity and hon
ors him for his ability.

THE assertion OF George William Cur
tis, the honor and stigma howlcr in the
recent republican convention, as made in
Harper's Weekly, that the nomination of
Blaine "makes the success of the repub-
l,can party IN this campaign matter Of
indifference" shows the inslncrlcty of his
objects and motives. With u man who is
actuatcd by patriotic motives there IS no
such middle ground as indifference. He
will either advocate or oppose the elec
ton of the candidate of any party to an
Office the administration of which effects
him as we'll as all others. Blaine either
deserves the support or opposition OF
every citizen Of the United States. and to
say, as Curtis does, that his election is =
matter of indifference is either admitting
that 40 harm can come to the country
through his election or that it is matter
Of no concern If evil does come OF it.

cy would add little If any t. the yenera-

his grave. The same system of campaign
slandcr is already commenced on Blaine
and bids fair to be the most vnulcnt of
any campaign in the history Of the coun-
try, for there are more avenues for its
communication than ever before. The
democratic press, from the double-leaded
plea editor of the country weekly up TO
the blanket sheet nonparell daily of the
metropolitan press will consider it his
great political mission to blast Blaine,
and each will do it with an energy and
desperation worthy Of better object.
Fortunately for the candidates, however,
these personal calumnies have but little
weight with the people and but few votes
are made or lost by such warfare.

Disinterested travellers and men of close
observation are frequently heard to re-
mark that there is more building in pro-
gress in Jamestown than IN any other
town or city on the line Of the Northern
Pacific railroad from St. Paul and Duluth
to Portland, Oregon. This is by NO
means dlsparagemeut Of the thriving
towns and cities both east and west of US,

the east. Through the recent wreck of

The country around jamestown is

whose comfortable and handsome resi-

TO many Of our readers to know who and
what he IS, though his name is well

Carl SchuH was born in Germany in 1929,
received good university education and
in lS4S engaged in the publication of a
republican newspaper and later took
part in :: revolutionary movement which
rendered tllut place unpleasant for him as

in keeping out Of the reach of German
jurisdiction for his political offense he
came to America in 1852, renamed a:
Philadelphia three years engaged i'll legal
and historical studies and then settled at
Madison, Wis, where he soon Snade a
wide reputation as a political orator both
in English and German languages, and in
1856 was candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor Of that state but was defeated. In
1858 he took part in the celebrated Lin
coin and Douglas contest for the United
States senate from Illinois and was fter-
wards regarded as one of the best cam
paign speakers in the republican party,
in which his fame became not only ma
tional but world wide. lie was appointed
by president Lincoln munster to Spain,
but came back and resigned to enter the
union army in, the early part o? the war
of the rebellion in which he attained to
the rank of major general. In 1866 he
moved to Detroit and edited the Post for
two years. lie returned to St. LOUIS IN
1869, and was elected United States sen.
ator for Missouri, which position he fill
ed with ability for six years. In 1872 he
sacrificed his standing IN the republican
party by going into the liberal republican
party movement, from which his position
as secretary of the interior in the Hayes
cabinet did not restore HIM, and he Is
now the brains of the anti Blaine faction
