for the occasion, bnt the news by !

them with this issue. The fact is
we are beat, and that badly. We
have lost the Presidency and in
all likelihood the lower house OF

Harrison mas carried New Y Ork

MR. POTTS AND THE GAS MEETING.

Elsewhere the Journal prints a card from
Mr.. A. F. Potts. who gives stenographic
report of his remarks at the Gas Trust meet
ing on Friday night. by which it appears that
he did not say the meeting was called by tie
Journal, but that he first saw notice of it in
the Journal. Mr.. Potts created the impression,
by his words and manner, that the Journal
of persons reported to US, upon the basis of
which our remarks were made. We are very
glad they were made upon hypothesis. and
take the greatest pleasure in withdrawing the
offensive epithet We can do this the more
pleasurably because Mr.. Potts has shown
such a fair, candid, judicial temper through
out the whole discussion. Mr.. Potts was the
first secretary of the Trust; he did as much
as any other man to carry the movement for
ward to success, and when the half million
was secured, voluntarily retired from the
Office 1t was Mr.. Potts, thus associated with
the Trust, who understood its purposes as well
any other, and knows we'll and
thoroughly its possibilities, who said to the
Journal that the pipe extension amendment
ought to be made without question; that
the provision it stood was a menace to
any company, and that the amendment
would be essential to the Trust itself.
If Mr.. Potts had added this opinion to his
card, and urged the Council to agree with his
Judgment as speedily possible he would
have done the city another great favor, and
certainly would have proved himself better
friend of the Trust than those narrow minded,
malicious, vindictive people who are arousing

THE SUNDAY NEWSPAPER.

At a meeting of Presbyterian ministers in
Philadelphia, a few days ago, the Rev. David
Wells addressed them on Newspapers" He
said among other things: 1.-The representa-
tive newspapers of the cities all aid and main
tain the Christian religion. The
Sunday papers are here and have come to
stay, and reach more people than does the
pulpit. We are newspaper nation, and the
greater portion of people newspaper
readers, and the church cannot suppress what
is popularity accepted as legitimate journal
ISM" This is common-sense view of the
subject. The Sunday newspaper is evolu
ton of journalism and an outgrowth of
modern life, much any other social
institution. Of course, there are Sun
day newspapers that ought not to be
ought not to be issued at ALL But these
the exceptions. A very large majority do,
as the Philadelphia preacher said, "aid and
maintain the Christian religion" and all the
more effectively, perhaps, because they are
not its professional advocates. In modern
society there is no one thing that exercises a
more healthful, elevating and ameliorating
influence than the clean. well-conducted Sun
day newspaper. As for the comparative
number of people reached by press and pulpit
we presume every issue Of the Sunday Jour-
nal is read by good many more persons than
the aggregate attendance of all the Protestant
churches in the city. But that is beyond the
point The pulpit's influence is not measured
Christian pulpit is not losing its influence, it
maintains its righteous primacy; but the press,
and every other educative agency, should be
welcomed as the aid and co.laborer of the

a deep feeling of indignation throughout the
city among sensible, substantial, conservative
business men and manufacturers by their su-
premely selfish course. Nothing will leopard,
if not destroy, the Trust so surely and quickly
as the present position it is forced to occupy
by its worst enemies under the guise of
friendship.
The attempt to disown the Friday night
meeting on behalf Of the Trust is as puerile
as it will be futile. The first notice of it ap-
peared in the News, the authorized organ of
the Trust, which stated that's a regular call
had been issued, and it quoted from the
call. The meeting was in the interests of the
Trust, and that such was not it's character

AM H0NORED TNDIANTAN.

1.-THE Indiana Student" periodical pub
lished by the students of the State University,
prints biographical sketch of Professor
Kirkwood which contains some interesting
information concerning one of the most emil
nent mathematicians and astronomers of the
day. Professor Kirkwood is native of Mary
land, and of Scotch-Irish ancestry. He was
reared on farm, and obtained his first knowl-
edge of mathematics from stray copy of an
algebra which he studied in the hay-mow and
without teacher. His early advantages were
limited, but he managed to take the course at
York Academy, Pennsylvania. After this he
became teacher, and that has been his life
vocation. From Pennsylvania he came to Ohio,
where he was five years professor of mathe-
mates in Delaware College, and president
two years. In 1856 he accepted the chair of
mathematics in the Indiana State University,
filling the position with great ability for many
years. His astronomical works and discov-
cries have given him high place among liv-
ing scientists. He is the author of we'll
known work on Comets and Meteors," as
well as an earlier book on Meteoric Astrono-
my. Professor Kirkwood was first introduced
to the scientific world by the publication in
1849 of his analogy between the periods of
the rotations of the primary planets. The
law announced by him, now known as Kirk
woods law, was received with much
interest, and generally regarded
as an important discovery supporting
the nebular hypothesis. Mr.. Proctor
the eminent English astronomer, has said
"1t would not be easy to exaggerate the i'm
portance of Professor Kirkwood's researches
Founded as they are, not on speculative
fancies, but on the well-established laws of
planetary motion, they are worthy of the
closest attention. I believe they will inau-
gurate new and important processes of
thought, by means of which the noble but
hitherto intractable problems connected with
the formation of the solar system may be
found capable of solution" A new work
by Professor Kirkwood has recently been
issued, en- titled, Asteroids or Minor Planets
Between Mars and Jupiter" which is doubt
less the most exhaustive treatise on asteroids
extant. He is now out of active educational
work, being seventy three years old, and is at
present in California
