THE ECLIPsE morning the
rare astronomical event will occur Of n total
eclipse of the sun, and it will be observed by
scientific expeditions or individual scientists
from almost every civilized nation. 1t will
be, in some respects, one Of the most inter-
esting astronomical events of the century
inasmuch as the rapid Improvement of APP
paratus for observations, photography, etc.
enable observers to gain much more iniorna
ton of value to science now than III times
past from such occurrences, and there arc
number of important questions in disputt
which these observations are expected to
settle. The eclipse will he total in the torri''
zone, and the line of totality will fall mainly
in the open Atlantic Ocean, but at Benguela
on the western coast Of Southern Africa. II
will be observable from about 3 O'Clock i'll
The afternoon, being observable at noon
only at sea, where observations could not he
properly taken. BeDguela was the point
selected for The naval expedition from this
country 1t is 5000 nautical miles from
New York. In this region the eclipse Will
be but partial and will begin about 5 mnut es
before s and last 30 minutes.

THE VIRGINIA IRON WoRKs.-Capt. Goss,
Of the Virginia Iron ShipbuildiDg Company,
was yesterday notified by telegraph Of the
attachment made for taxes by Collector
Field, on the old material which was being
removed from the company's works in this
city, and arrived here this morning from
New York to look into the matter.
He asked the Finance Committee of the
City Council to direct the tax collector to
withdraw the attachment, saying that the old
material was to be sold and the proceeds
applied to the purchase of new machinery
for the works, but the committee declined to
assume any responsibility on the ground
that they had no jurisdiction in the matter.

Arrowsmith. An inquest was held over the
remains at the beach, and the jury returned
n verdict of accidental drowning.

The United States government as al
present administered is az much out Of
date as an OK cart for state carriage.
The senare is relic of barbarism and
continual menace to republican gov.
ernment.
The house of representatives is absurd
and calculated to misrepresent the peo-
Pile. The veto power of the president is
unnecessary and should be vested in
the people as 1t is in Switzerland. The
absolute power of federal judges is de-
structive of free government.
A government should exist for the
benefit of the whole people, not class.
1t should own, operate and construct all
means of conveying passengers, intelli-
gence and commodities. 1t should con-
sist of representatives of the whole peo-
pie, minorities and msjorities in exact
proportion to numbers being repre-
sented in its councils regardless of dis
tricts.
The people should be supreme, their
voice consulted on eveery subject con-
cerning them, their labors returning the
full product, not a farthing to the idler
and the speculator. Labor should be
the only title to pride usefulness to re-
spect. .
This would be true government.
This would be real republic. To-day
the United States is ruled by an oil
garchy it must be ruled by an emperor
or bv the whole people. Which shall
it be? The signs of the times read that
the DAYS of an oligarchv are numbered
and that despot cannot control Amer

Hyndman, before the proceedings

The magistrate, after the reporters

the prisoners for trial, and Mr.. Williams,
their counsel, upon this arose, and con-
tended that his clients were "'outside the

the words used by his clients were not 30

most daily use in the press, and point

said, when the right honorable mem

Thispanic and persecution, the counsel

Childers, the home secretary, and the
police. who are answerable for the whole
trouble.
Hyndman, who defended himself, de-
MED that there was any case against
either himself or his companions.
Mr.. Chamberlain consented to be
sworn as witness, and when he had
taken the oath, Champion asked him
what were the governments intentions
with regard to relieving the distress
a nong the unemployed, and whether
he himselffavored a revolution in the,
land laws of ENGLAND.
The magistrate refused to allow the
question as put to be answered by the
witness, and the prisoners were re-
manded until Saturday, when they will
be committed for trial for misdemeanor.

JOLIET, Feb. 19.-The penitentiary au-

vict labor which they are desirous to let

years. To dav the board of commits
sioners met at the penitentiary to open
bids for the convict labor, but, remarka-
