morse Tor the past, or lnquletude Tor
the future. Another significant straw
with regard to the change of base of the
administration is furnished by the
treasury ruling on fruit juices. Arpad
Harazthy and all the viticulturists
have contended that the duty ought
to be 81 a gallon for all such liquids
when they contained alcohol, and n
clear showing was made that cherry
juice was largely used in the manufacture
Of fraudulent wines. The treasury has
ruled at last that cherry Juice must
pay n duty of 81 per gallon.
Had this been done before, Cleveland
would have had the vote OF the wine
men Of the north; had Cleveland been
from the first sincerely anti-Chinese in
sentiment, he would have had the
vote of California solidly. But
these appeals for votes made
SO unblus hingly now, disgust us,
and we feel contempt, not gratitude.
SILVER STEWART MAKES A GREAT
SPEECH.
II California and Nevada have been
stamping grounds for millionaires who
wanted to buy a senatorship, everybody
must admit that the two states have
turned out W men. Stewart and Jones,
who are authorities on the silver ques-
tion. They speak upon that topic
without being listened to with great at
tention. Senator Stewart made, a day
or two ago. a great speech at the re-
publican wigwam, and he fairly let
himself out, just as on occasions a
blooded tr0tter will do his utmost.
After he had spoken about the Chinese,
which comes first as a matter OF course,
he looked round humorously at his audi
ence, giving II shake to those reddish

about silver or the tariff?' 'Oh d---n
the tariff !" cried someone, giving
Henry Watterson his right change,
let's hear about silver Then all the
audience rose up and yelled 'Silver, sill
ver." Your eastern men will never
listen to the mining side, and say, its
all self-interest OF course the eastern
capitalists have no interest on the other
side. The real question is where the
public interests lie. Stewart scored
Cleveland in the most dreadful manner
recapitulating every hostile act of the
man,. He wound up by saying: "Cleve-
land is the tool, the servant of the gold
contraction conspiracy Of Europe and
America. and if he be elected, gold
standard contraction will go on, as he
will veto every bill hat looks toward
the release Of silver. His schemes in
the silver conspiracy have reduced
property 33 per cent; they have made
ten of thousands poor; and have put
more and more wealth in the hands of
the rich Then there arose a yell
that would have made birds fall from
the sky, so mighty was the concus-
sion of the air. Blaine himself could
not have evoked more enthusiasm
ON MOUNT HAMILTON.
Old Lick's beQuest for the great OBJ
servatory on Mount Hamilton is begin
ming to yield substantial results already.
Professor Holden, who is the director of
the institution, took every night, dur
ing the month Of August, when the
moon is notably Respondent, II is
called the harvest moon, a series of
Photographic views of our planets
satellite with a large Photographic
lens. These are more than five inches
in diameter. and show all the elevations
and depressions with startling minute
ness. 1t is customary to call these eX-
tinct volcanoes and plains, but at first
the student only see things that are
inexplicaple to him. Professor Proctor
would have enjoyed these photographs
could he have seen them, for
they realize startingly his con-
dead world, without atmosphere,

tiles would have permitted such contin-
III photographing representing the
| satellite from the first faint crescent of
the young moon to the last faint cres-
cent of the old moon IN the morning
sky. The University of Southern Cali
fornia has determined to go in for
astronomical observations also, and to
erect an observatory on Wilson's peak.
1t is unnecessary to say that the presi-
dent. DR.. Bovard, has determined to
beat the Lick observatory, Or perish,
and he is negotiating with Alvin Clark,
who makes big lenses for a forty-two
inch lens, whereas the lens of tine Lick
telescope is only thirty-four inches.
The total cost of the Bovard telescope
will be about n hundred thousand dol
lars, and it will be steered by Professor
Pickering, h astronomer OF Harvard
college. San Francisco does not feel
unhappy at the prospect that Los
Angeles will have Il larger telescope,
as in that case California as a state
will then nave the two largest tele-
scopes in the world. There can be nc
doubt that great things for astronom-
ical science will be accomplished by
both.
