Loss of Speed in Planets and
Comets.
L .nm Natura

From Nature.
Is the motion Of planetary bodies per-
petusl? At first, everything seems TO
show that 1t Ia. The earth, which,
v it'll it's mass Of 5000 trilliOn tons, turns
with q speed which enables a student
to go bsre-hesded a good many miles
without catching cold in the act of
saluTing professor, for long time
detied all attempts TO detect In 1t loss of
speed. but with the friction of the
tides continually at work such loss
must take place. and now 1t Is
pretty certain from the calculations of
Adams, the astronomer, that the earth
loses about an hour in II 600 years, and
Is coming to rest rather leisurely. Sc,
also, the hurrying up of the comets as
they go round the sun Is possibly ac-
counted for by regarding action In
space which makes 1t necessary for
them to try and make up, as 1t were. for
lost ime, and In fact the general srgu-
ments 10 the present day are in favor Of
what Sir Isaac Newton believed-that
the motions of all bodies In space are
suffering retardation, and that their
velocity Is becoming less and will ultI-
mstely cease.

larry a man SO much Endorsed as Chancel-

bis opponent was one Of the ablest lawyers
and best men in the State, the chancellor
nevertheless was Endorsed by about every
lawyer in the district except two firms.
who were Hamilton's attorneys, and
in addition to this petition had come up
from the voters throughout the district
urging and demanding his reappointment.
The men and women throughout the
whole State were almost unit in the de-
sire that he be reappointed. But tho
Governors friend Hamilton wanted him
out and the Governors earnest work for
the passage OF the bill was his subteriuge,
labeled economy, to hurl from Office a
man who had dared TO do his duty. A
senator stated openly that the Governor
had said to him ''the measure must 60
through, and II Chancellor McFarlane
objects to it, i can very quickly get a man
in his place who will not" The job came
in under the mask OF economy, and
canght some good men, but II was q trick
and job, nevertheless. This is the only
measure which the Legislature has passed
over the earnest opposition Of this paper,
and that bill was only passed by being
rushed through under the guise OF econo-
my before the animus and the inevitable
effects could be shown to the members.

Tile HON p Y CLASS

Congressman Glass, Of the Ninth Con-
gressional District, deems himself to be
misreprescnted when he is charged with
vcering even by shadow Of turning from
the line laid down by the Democratic Con-
vcntion at Chicago in 1884 on the tariff
question, and 10 prove that he is sound on
II sends us letter which was published by
The Nashville american some days ago, but
which at the time escaped our attention.
We make room for 1t today with pleasure.
TuE AppEAL Is for principles, not men,
and II has no purpose TO advantage one
man at the expense OF another or to do
any man an injury, therefore we let Mr..
Glass speak for himself upon the question
that just now monopolizes general attcn-
ton throughout the country and on which
he may have TO say something in the
House after the Mills bill comes up next
Tuesday. lie says he favors ian enlarge
''mcnt OF the free list and conservative
Cutting down OF duties all along the line,
Especially upon those articles Of necessity
''that are necessary to the comfort and
support Of the laboring masses lumber
ITO build their houses, fabrics for their
clothing and articles OF food and fuel"
lie Is also for free raw material and goes
away ahead OF the Mills bill by advocat-
ing the putting OF timber, lumber. coal,
iron ore, pig iron and copper, and salt on
the free list. Col. Glass also has some
thing TO say for the farming interest and
takes the right ground in advocating n
close consideration OF the relations OF that
class TO the tariff On the whole we do
not see but that the Congressman from
the Ninth District Is entitled TO clean
bill Of health 30 far as the tariff is con-
ccrncd. He is certainly in line with the
majority OF his party on that issue and Is
ahead Of most. In 30 far az THE APPEAL
has been led 10 misunderstood or mis-
represent him II here and now makes the
amendc. The honorable gentleman will
have hard row TO hoe in his district
this summer and fall and il is not for us to
put a stump or a bowlder in his way. We
would rather help than rctard and there
fore proclaim that Mr. Glass is sound on
the tariff question. II every Democrat in
the House wns us sound there would be
no trouble in putting the Mills bill
through.

TnE Richmond DiPaich in a recent and
very Interesting article, threw food Of
ight ON the effect Of the duty on sugar.
II explained that taking the consumption
Of sugar at fiiiythrce pounds per capita,
at the average rate Of duty, cents per
pound, this amount would return tax,
through the tariff and In the increased
price Of the home product. Of si.O0. For
every family or group Of five the sugar tax
would be $3.50. The abolition Of the sugar
duty would, therefore. be reasonably ex.
pccicd 10 relieve every family or group OF
five Of taxes amounting to $40. Putting
Nireinia's population at l.750,O00 would
give her groups comprising $4,000. A,
$50 per family or group, the sugar lax
costs the people Of Virginia u 500, 900 per
annum. and that amount would be re.
tanned In the hands Of the i,T50.0O0 con
sumcn by the abolition Of this tax.
Surely Il Is sum worth saving.

Mr.. nleIne and the Tnrln.


John ?. Irish In the North American Review for
March.
Mr.. Blaine admits the prosperity and
uniform accretion OF wealth which fol-
lowed the tariff in 1916, but ascribes them
to the discovery Of gold in California and
the Crimean war; But he makes Of the
tariff Of 1862 the Aladdin's lamp which is
alone responsible for what wealth has
been created since, crediting nothing to
the measureless consumption during the
war and the profits Of double discounts
gwen 10 the manufacturers and contract
ors, which, with high prices and high in
tcrest added, all reappeared in bonds
representing the national debt, TO be paid
by the labor OF the country. That burden
was cheerfully taken up and 40 calamity
carried that the tax-paying people had the
pleasure OF seeing the bonds, owned by
the non-taxed bond-holder, appreciate. /
remember how proud OF my country was
when our bonds touched par in London.
They crept beyond. TO a premium, and
the labor OF the country which carried the
load, rs the camel carries sugar while he
feeds on thistlcs, omitted no emotion OF
patriotic pride, and still wrought rs early
and as late 10 pay taxes 10 pay bonds rep
rescnting the phenomenal prices, and
discounts and premiums which fortified
the organized and projected interests OF
this country. Certainly the yeomanry Of
the country had earned a respite. They
had fought a war 10 successful issue; had
restored the public credit and were still
paying taxes 10 produce an annual surplus
OF millions over the public needs Of the
government. A mcrciful man Is merciful
to his beast, and surely n government
should not be less 10 lis citizens. They
had been like the spoon which carried the
soup 10 the mouth but gets none itself,
and had not grumbled. To force from
them an unnecessary tar 10 produce n sur :
plus for which the government had no use
was the reverse OF sound policy. Both
parties had said 80, and, after the fashion
OF politicians, each had laid blame upon
the other, and each had asked the country
10 believe that II alone would apply the
remedy. But both failed, and looked on,
insensiblo TO the danger, while unneccs-
sary taxation withdrew from tho people
and from the ateries,o commerce and
the active enterprises OF the country a
surplus larger every year than the total
federal revenues were in 1850. The coun-
try had its arteries cut and was bleeding TO
death, while the politicians bcraied each
other for not applying styptic, and Mr..
Blaine was loftily leciuringthc newspapers
upon the use that might be made OF the
blood. Upon such q scene issued the
President, 20 remind the unfaithiul OF
their promises dishonorcd, and the greedy
OF the danger Of eating their seed wheat TO
the jeopardy Of future harvcsts.
Both parties were pledged 10 reduce the
tariff taxation down 10 the actual needs Of
the government Confronted with this
promise, Mr.. Blaine replies that the way
TO reduce the surplus Is 10 spend Il, and
his party Affects TO discover that when II
comes TO reducing taxation, Americans
