Nothing more homogeneous than the run
ming of Cleveland and Hill by the same party
at the same election can well be imagined"
says Henry George in the Standard. "One
stands for the Democracy of jefferson; the
other for the Democracy of Tweed" Hill
no doubt stands for the Democracy of
Tweed; but does Cleveland stand for the
Democracy of Jefferson? Would Thomas
Jefferson, had he lived in the broad light Of
the latter half Of the nineteenth century,
ever have been stupid enough to claim that
tariff increases the cost of an article by the
amount Of the duty? We think not. Thorn
as Jefferson was political philosopher;
and whenever he put forth political theory
1t was based ON facts not prejudice.

CRUELTY TO AN OLD ROMAN.
[Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.l
Laying aside differences, it is a pleasure to
admire Thurman as a man and as fine
specimen of American citizenship and Amer
lean craftsmanship. In public life he has
been a pure man. No charge of corruption
has ever been brought against him, and he
never was party to the frauds upon the bal
lot which his party practiced in Ohio. 1t
affords us pleasure to be able to write In this
way of political opponent whose election
would be a national misfortune. 1t Is well to
be able to shake hands with an honest man,
while differing with him altogether and rad
ically in politics.
This much having been said, we can truth
fully remark that his nomination for the vice.
Presidency was an outrage. He had retired
to private life. He desired to be let alone,
but in order to give character to the Cleye-
land ticket he was dragged from his home
and into the turmoil of political strife. Then
came Brice, mere political speculator, with
view to party circus, who tears him away
from his family and from that rest which he
so much needed. No one who knew Thur
man in his prime could read his speeches de-
liyered on the circuit without feeling of
sadness. There was nothing of Thurman in
them. In the face of this he was dragged to
New York, and what melancholy spectacle
he presented therel 1t seemed like dragging
a man from his dying chamber to manufac-
ture political capital. 1t is to be hoped the
political Adventures will permit Thurman to
return TO his home and obtain that rest that
may prolong his days. To drag him around
the country in his present condition is a

A notable phenomenon of the elections in
Maine and Vermont is the falling off in the
Prohibition vote. The tariff question is
question of bread and butter for nearly every
workingman, and naturally pushes aside the
liquor question, which, though itself ques-
tion Of bread and butter to certain extent,
does not lay such pressing claim to immediate
attention on that account. If the same rule
holds good in New York that has held good in
Maine and Vermont the political change will
be one Of considerable significance and inn
portance. In 1884 the Prohibitionists of the
Empire State cast for st. John 25,001 votes, a
gain Of 6,lS5 votes over what was cast the
year before for Gates, the Prohibitionist
candidate for Secretary of State. What of
this gain came from the Republicans would
undoubtedly have been sufficient, if retained
TO have elected a Republican President in
1884. In 1885, in the contest between Hill
and Davenport. Bascom, Prohibitionist
Gubernatorial candidate. received 30,s67
votes, and last year, in the contest between
Grant and Cook for Secretary of State, the
Prohibitionist vote for Huntington counted
up to 1850. This vote is an important
political factor in view of the fact that in
1884 Ceveland's plurality was but 1.047;
Hills in 1885 but IL ,134 and Cooks in 1887 but
1907 To predict what the Prohibitionists
of New York may do is too reckless a per-
Torrance to be ventured upon off-hand.
Yet the circumstances under which they are
placed seem to be such that large numbers
of them must return to the Republican
ranks. Not only is the discussion of the
tariff question sending the drift towards the
Republicans; but the endorsement of Hill by
the saloons and The Democrats acting to-
gether, and the bold and uncompromising
position of Warner Miller against both must
make it very hard for the sensible Prohibi-
Zionist TO Vote in the air when he can by
going with the Republicans put blow right
between the ewes of the rum poWer

The tragic death Of Prof. Richard A.
Proctor Of yellow fever in New York
Wednesday, removes an astronomer whose
labors and writings have been the means of
bringing the facts of astronomy in an inter-
teresting form before thousands of readers
who would not have sought them in the text
books. He was born in Chelsea. England,
March %, 1887. In youth his health was i'm
perfect and he was educased at home In
1854 he was clerk in bank, and devoted his
leisure to the study of mathematics. From
boyhood he was fond of studying the skies
and very early came to know all the constel-
lations and read many popular works on as
tronomy. In 1855 he entered Kings College
London, and in 1856 st. Johns College, Cam
bridge. Here he graduated in 1860. He was
appointed an honorary fellow OF Kings Col
lege in 1873, and fellow of the Royal Astro-
nomical Society in 1866. He was appointed
honorary secretary Of that society and edit
or of its proceedings in February, 1872, but
resigned these offices in November, 1873.
His original work in the field of astronomi-
cal research had made him widely known
before he came to America. But in this
country he has been most popularity known,
his reputation beginning when he lectured
on astronomy in America in 1924. He
again visited the United States in 1875, and
after an absence of seven months, during
which period he delivered 142 lectures, he
returned to England in May, 1876. For the
last few years he has been much in America,
and his articles published in the newspapers,
and presenting astronomical truths in popu-
lar form, have made him widely known.
One of the most Interesting passages in Mr.
Proctor's life was his experience with the
Roman Catholic church, which began to have
trouble with astronomers in the time of
Galileo,an which he left in 1876 after having
been convert Of some years standing. The
theologians of the church, he ntimated, had
convinced him that the holding of certain
scientific views was incompatible with loyal
ty to the faith. AS, however, he was con-
WINGED that those scientific views were in the
main correct, be, acting on his private and
individual judgment, thought he had no al
tentative but to abandon the church. Pro-
fessor Proctor's published works make a
long list of valuable contributions to science.

A VAIN QUEST.

We started one morn, my love and I,
On journey brave and bold:
7 was to find the end of the rainbow,
And the buried bag Of gold.
But the clouds rolled by from the summer sky,
And the radiant bow grew dim,
And we lost the way where the treasure lay,
Near the sunsets golden rim
The twilight fell like a curtain
Pinned with the evening star,
And we saw in the shining heavens
The new moons golden car.
And we said, as our hands clasped fondly.
what though we found no gold?
Our love is a richer treasure
Than the rainbow's sack can hold"
And years, with their joys and sorrowa
Have passed since we lost the way
To the beautiful buried treasure
At the end of the rainbOw's ray;
But love has been true and tender,
And life has been rich and sweet,
And we still clasp hands with the olden Joy
That made our day complete.
ID. H. Jordan, an Century.
