MORTON SAYS NOTHING.

Mr.. LEVI P. MORTON in his letter If
acceptance takes care nos to endons Me-.
HARRIsoN's foolish policy of bond pur-
chaes to get rid Of the surplus. MORTON
is q banker and most successful one and
knows thing OF NO about financial mat
tegs that HARRISON never dreamed Of. He
has succeeded in fsafheiing his nest to the
extent Of half score or 80 Of millions and
and knows q sound financial policy when
he sees it. He is silent as the tomb IS to
HARRIsoN's bond-purchsse lunacy,
As TO how the surplus Is to be reduced
MR. MORTON commits himself to no spe-
cific policy. In fact the surplus doesn't
worry Mr.. Morton at all. rs leaves it
to Congress with 3 wave of his hand. We
nigh. tell Mr.. MORTON that Congress is
already struggling with the subject and the
only way Congress can see out Of the diff
Guilty Is . reduction of the tariff. The
Senste's measure for the reduct on Of the
surplus reduces the tariff. Is makes 3
clumsy dig at one or two itsmS, while the
House bill treats ell alike fshly, injuring
no protected American industry. The
Senate bill, laundering and for bunCombs
Is il is, ia an endorsement of the Hemo-
cratic policy and thorough condemnation
of the Republican platform. Hence ME-
MORTON speaks pointlss3'y when he says:
Bus Is Il not easily within the wisdom Of Con
greSs 10 adjust the national income 10 the ma
tional expenditures without sacrificing OF even
importing an industrial system which has
brought untold advantages to the entire eoun-
ny?
Neither Mr.. MORTON nor any one else
has named sn industry that would be 10
juIed by the MILLS bill becoming law.
In certain raw materials alone is the pro-
lection removed and the Rspublicsrs have
done that many times before and in every
instance the industry Is not only still in
existence but prospecting Is it ID never did
when burdened by the tariff. Hides were
placed On the free list sixteen years ago

Every Republican leader is on record de-
clariI q in 10 uncertain language his hos
tility to the pre- eat trrdensoms tariff law
and enclosing thu poliry, now en- bcdied in

Mr.. MORTON is on record also as voting
for free salt and toms manufacturing raw

For Mr.. MORTON now to talk about
protection" and free trade" is absurd,
especially as he advances no idea how he
would reduce the surplus or what the pol
icy 10 that he indorses in so glitteringly
general way.
This is about ell Mr.. MoRToN's letter Of
acceptance contains, and it is seen that
there is nothing at ali in that. 1t is on
par with every document coming from the
Republicans this year. 1t is all for bum
combe. There is not one fact, reason OF
argument bebiud it. Its only M nit Is, ~
tact, that it says nothing. For, did Mr..
MORTON say anything defiuits he would
be sure 10 contradict HARRISON, OF
BLAINE, CT the Senate, rr the Republican
platform, and heaven knows they have
contradicted each other enough without
any statement Of policy from Mr.. MORTON,
All that is expected from Mr.. MoRToN is
his money. II he will shell out literally
his advice can be dispensed with.

The Eclipse of the Moon.

The moon will be totally eclipsed this
evening; and again July 22d; both eclipses
being visible in America, Europe and Africa.
The eclipses of the sun, the present year, are
visible only in nearly polar regions.
An eclipse Of the sun gives us all chance
to test the accuracy Of the predicted times:
since it is easy to see the solid moon enter or
leave the face of the solid sun. But in an
eclipse of the moon, it is hard for us to say,
from observation, when she enters or leaves
the all-defned, hazy outline of the earth's
shadow. For this reason. eclipses of the
moon have had, for astronomy, less interest
than eclipses of the sun. Now, however,
physics have extended their domain, out to
the heavenly bodies. The present secretary
of the Smithsonian Institution has added a
marvellous instrument, his bolometer, to the
,pectroscope and polariscope. BY these in
struments it is hoped that eclipses of the
moon can be brought on the witness stand,
and be made to testify on several exceedingly
interesting questions, concerning our own
atmosphere and concerning the moons con-
dition. The source of the deep coppery, or
blood red, color of the moon, even in the
middle of total eclipse may now be inves-
tigated with a chance of success.
The shadow of the earth, properly speak
ing, is the space in which the earth would
hide all the sun. Around this is space of
fainter shadow, penumbra, in which only
part Of the sun would be hidden. At the
distance of the moon, the earth's shadow is
about twice the breadth of the moon; and
the penumbra around the shadow is the
same; making circle of a little more than
six times the diameter of the moon, within
which some part of the suns light is cut off.
This shadow is of course opposite the sun,
and so moves eastward among the stars, fin
ishing its circuit once a year. The moon
goes past it, of course, at every full moon
but usually lodges the shadow; and very
frequently even the penumbra. But twice
this year she proposes not to dodge 1t, but to
dive in and through; almost through the
centre. Tonight she enters the penumbra at
1897, and the shadow at 4.30; but this is be-
fore she has risen TO us. After she rises she
goes deeper into the shadow, until 5.31,
when she will be totally immerged. She re-
mains in total eclipse until 7.09, when she
begins to pass out. At $40 she has left the
shadow and at 9.12 the penumbra, and is
| full moon, in full splendor.
But, as we have said, these are theoreti-
cal times; they could be verified only by an
observer on the moon; to US sublunary crea-
| lures there will be no difference in the
| moons appearance at sos and at SIS. The
oretically the total eclipse will last l hour IS
| minutes, but no observer could say whether
| the totality exceeds the hour by 80 or Al
| minutes
