MARCH exhibits an unusually active
condition of the solar system" says the
Providence journal. Mars, Jupiter
and Uranus are In opposition, Saturn is
in quadrature, Venus at her period of
greatest brilliancy, Mercury at eastern
elOngatiOn, the moon OcCults Jupiter,
Uranus and Aldebaran as well as a null
titude of smaller stars. and even the
great sun himself is seen as golden ring
surrounding the dark body of the inter-
vening moon. The path of the beautiful
phenomenon is chiefly confined to the
Pacific Ocean, the central line crossing
land in Mexico. The eclipse will be in
visible in New England, but will be WIS.,
ible as partial eclipse in the greater
part OF the United States and in the
eastern part of Australia. An observer
taking n fancy flight to the sun would
behold startling picture on the Dist.
Our planet will then be in line with
Jupiter. Mars will be little to the
West, and Uranus a lesser distance to
the east. -Four planets will thus be con-
gregated nearly in line, pulling upon the
sun with the fOroe of their combined at
traction. But the sun is master Of the
situation. A greater preponderancs of
matter at one point has occurred many
times before, and will occur many times
in the future. The sun and his retinue
OF worlds safely pursue their symmetric-
al course, and millions of years must pass
before their mission in the material uni
verse is completed"

The Knights of Labor in San Antonio
requested the Express to discontinue the
advertisement of the Mallory Line.
Just what they hoped to accomplish in
that request is not apparent. Such a
request, If acceded to, would hurt the
newspaper more than it would that line,
which is the view the Express took OF
the matter, and declined the invitation
in the interest ofthe many laboring men
who find employment in that establish
ment.

THERE are about 5000 men out on a
strike on the Gould lines, and probably
1000 or 5000 more will go out in day or
two, if matters are not adjusted. The
5000 lose on an average of $3.50 day in
wages, or Sl2,5OO. The majority OF these
have no personal interest or grievance,
ana are actuated only by blind submits
sion TO the orders Of their organization
officers. Are they not surrendering a
good deal Of personal liberty, and suffer
ing privations for mythical advantages ?

The Dallas papers. taking the hint
that the AtchsOn, Topeka and Santa Fe
will not make a terminus in Northern
Texas, but will stop only at the Gulf
coast, now give out hints that the above
road will buy the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe, and make Dallas the connect
ing point OF course that is specializing
in the dim future, but the LIGHT feels
assured that the AtChisOn, Topeka and
Santa Fe will never go so far east as
Dallas. 1t is after the cattle trade Of
the Lone Star State, and must seek it in
Western and Southwestern Texss.
when it reaches the Gulf it will be at
Aransas Pass.

Of all forms of bad breeding, the pert, smart manner affected by boys and girls of certain age is the u ost offensive and inn pertinent. One of tltose so-cllled smart boys was ul G employed in thr offic,. of the treasurer of a western railroad. He was usually left ul.,rlt in the office b, -tws Il the hours of eight aud nine i'll inc nnprn- ing, and it was Li- duty 10 answer the questions of all callers as clearly and po- liiely as possible. r
 <. One mornipg a plainly dressed old gen- tleman walked quietly in and asked for the cashier.
 9'He,s ont, " said the hoy, without look ing up from the paper he was reading.
 ''Do you know where he Is P
 "No."
 "When will he be in ?''
 "'Bout nine o'clock"
 "Its nearly that now, isn'tit? Thnven't western time.

 ''I s'pose 50, though this isn't pabtc hotel
 The boy thought this was smart, and he chuckled aloud over it. He did not offer the gentleman chair, or lay down the paper he held
 "I would like to write note while I wait, said the caller twill you please get me piece of paper and an envelope ?'
 The boy did so and as he handed them to the old gentlemen he coolly said
 Anything else ?" s5
 ''Yes, was the reply. 1T would like to know the name of such smart boy as you are. "
 The boy felt fattered by the word ''smart," nnd wishing to show the full ex- tent of his smartness, replied:
 "I'm one of John Thompson's kid-- William by name, and 1 answer to. the call of Billy. But here comes the boss Y. .

 "Why. Mir. Smith, how do you do :? Pm delighted to see you We"
 But John Thompson's 'kid" heard no more. He was looking around for his hat MT. Smith was president of the road, and Billy heard from him, later, to his sorrow.

The word ''chestnut9 will surely have to go into the next edition of the unabridg- ed dictionary. The history of this bit of slang has been queer one. Its origin will never be definitely known, although g dozen stories of it have been told. Three years ago the word was in common use among printers in Boston, in its slang sense, and from the composing rooms it came down to the editorial floors. After a good deal of use inside the various news paper offices it naturally got into print
 The great army of newspaper readers
 quickly captured it, and within 8 year it was in general use. For two years past it has been everywhere common throughout the country, Then some genius had a bright idea and evolved the, chestnut bell. It made it's first appearance. in Baltimore or Pittsburg about July 1, and it took over two months to get to Boston, and about the same time to get to Chicago and the vest ,..r-t ~ E-..5

ton of boots and shoes, of pork, wheat, cot
ton, iron; and If that principle is to be gen.
orally applied, must limit the hours of
work, or, in other words, set up commu-
NAL form of government.
These facts are plain enough If people will
only look at them separately from the vague
sophistry they have been surrounded with by
many book-makers who have come to regard
government as sort of divinity that can do
the impossible if it only wills. 1t might
be inferred from our assertion that Congress
can ease the present condition by proper
commercial relations with South America,
that we should go into the same category.
But We base onr opinion on the belief that
such arrangement can be effected. If it can
not, with South America or elsewhere, Con-
gress can do nothing more for the surplus
except to limit production, which, in fact,
would limit itself without Congress. All
that Congress IN such an event could posi-
bly, do would be to cause an orderly transit
to a condition of half production and half
work. which, without Government direc-
ton, might result in kind of anarchy, due
to withdrawal of the means Of support
from large number of people.

IT is due that we say to the patrons of the
Weekly Sentinel that we are more thankful
than we can tell you for the stream of re-
newals which you have been pouring in up
on us since our last issue.
So rapidly have they come, together with
new subscribers, that our regular force has
been unable to keep up with revising and
correcting the type mailing list. The small
number of orders TO stop is also very crafty
ing-only elerea since the LIST, and major
ity of these gave good reasons, one starting
on long journey, and another on account
of death, and the like.
