The newspapers seem to be bound to

calendar OF years, as they have so fire.
quently done on every opportunity, and
most notably of all within the recollec-
ton Of the present generation, in the
year 1850. It takes fifty full years to
make half century, says the New York
Mail and Express, and consequently
every body finally saw and acknowl-
edged that 1851 was the beginning Of
the second half Of the nineteenth cent
ury, although the newspapers with al
most entire unanimity had led off in
announcing 1850 to be the commence
ment of that half century. On a similar
principle it takes ten full years to
make decade, and the silly talk Of
1890 being the commencement of the
last decade of the present century is
only another repetition Of the blunder
sc easily committed on this subject
The same kind of an error will I'M
doubtedly be committed on the first day
OF January, 1900. The slip-dash, hull
labaloo newspapers will blow up che
trumpets that that is the beginning of
the twentieth century, whereas the
plain, arithmetical truth is that the
whole of the year 1900 will belong to
the nineteenth century, and the first
day of the next century will be jan
uary l, 1901. Let us illustrate this in
such way that even child can under
stand it:
The thing proved is that ten years
make a decade and ten decades make a
century. The mere changing of the
digit from 9 to 10 does not make year,
nor will the changing of the numbering
Of the years from 1899 to 1900 make a
year. The full year 10 belongs to the
first decade and the full year 1900 be-
longs to the nineteenth century. The
following table will more fully explain
it:

1t 1s therefore perfectly clear that
this A. D. 1890 is the last year of the
ninth decade or the nlneJeenJn century,
and not the first year of its last or tenth
decade.
In 1880 we remembered hearing a
very eloquent divine who had entered
into the contest on philosophical and
historical principles, as he asserted,
who was at first 80 thoroughly con-
WINGED that 1850 began the second half
Of the nineteeth century that he de-
clared he was just as sure Of it as he was
that there was a God in Heaven. We
were extremely shocked to hear such a
declaration from the pulpit, and re-
marked that the divine did not under
stand himself, for in reality he was
much more sure of the latter than of the
former part Of his proposition; and it
was only about six months from that
time when we had the good fortune to
again be present in his church when he
publicly acknowledged and confessed
his error, deplored the seeming pro-
family Of which he had been guilty, and
took back all his theories that the year
l had begun at the commencement of
the second year of the Christian era,
and consequently that the twelve
months preceding were, and ought to be,
marked only with cipher, as il they
did not occur in any year, and admitted
that the commencement of the second
half of the nineteenth century was still
some six months in the future. He adj
vised his congregation never to follow
his example of allowing the heat Of de-
bate 80 to obscure their vision and
warp their judgment as TO insist upon
the invincibility of any position which
they were led to take from superficial
understanding of the subject.

OF REMARKABLE RICHNESS.
ColoradO's Grand Canon Contains
Untold Wealth.

DENVER, Col, April 13.-Col. STAN
ton, commander of the recent explOr-
ing expedition in the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river, yes
terday made public some interest
ing precious metal discoveries
which his party made in that far-famed
canon. Mr.. Stanton has fine selec-
ton of specimens. consisting of all the
well-known precious minerals, as well
as coal, marble. etc. He say S
that 400 miles of canon shows a
wealth of the precious mineral. The
steep walls of the canon show quartz
veins in places and assays from speci-
mems obtained on the trip down the
river demonstrate that these veins are
of remarkable richness. The action of
the water has worn smooth the sides
of the canon, and the vein matter
is clearly discernible to: the naked eye
Placer gold is found nearly the entire
length of the river. Every point PANIED
produced color, and in places the bars
were found to contain coarse gold IN
surprising quantities. In one place south
of Lees Ferry veins were found which
had evidently been developed in a
crude way by the Indians, perhaps by
the now extinct race of AZtecs. MIR.
Stanton says the placers could be easily
worked. because there is no lack of
water facilities. Col. Stanton is of the
belief that he has relocated the bonanza
discovered by Maj. PowelI's expedition
in 1869.

A WON ANS HONOR
Turned Stewards Great Fortune
to Judge Hilton.

New YORK, April 1.-THE World this
morning begins an attack upon Henry
Hilton. The article is entitled: 'tThe
opening chapter in curious tale of
contemperaneous society; how social
secret was guarded and hidden; the
mystery OF Hilton's influence over
Stewart at last discovered; the motive
for the grave robbery made clear" The
article asserts that the influence of Hill
ton over Stewart was founded in a
crime. ''The crime involved the honor
OF woman and the reputation and vast
business of the greatest dry goods mer-
chant on the continent. Hilton,
as lawyer, did the work
that averted the calamity which would
have resulted from exposure. From
that hour his star began its ascendency."
The article then proceeds to summarize
the facts already known as to the pass
ing of the Stewart fortune into Hilton's
control. 1t closes with the declaration
that the Stewart will case will be re-
opened and all the facts brought out.
The article will be continued in future
editions of the World.

The Republican Quandary.

duty On hides as ''superlatively unwise."
And the Boston Journal Of Commerce
declares that ''if hides should be placed
in the tariff among Gutiable articles it
would go a long way in throwing the
politics of New England into the hands
of the Democrats. William p. Tyler,
the proprietor of the Tyler Tube works,
who is moving his plant from Boston to
Washington, Pa, goes still farther, and
declares that ''if the Mckinley bill be-
comes law in its present state. the
New England states will become Demo
cratic at once" Mr.. Tyler, who is HIM
self among the proteges, thinks that
'what ought to be done is to abolish the
duty on Swedish rough iron," but not
on tubes. of course. This is very
pretty Republican fight as it stands;
and, for the present, the rest Of us can
afford to stay aloft, and encourage the
combatants with the cry, go it Betsy !;

DETROIT, Mich, April ia special
gives particulars of terrible riot which
occurred Friday last among the laborers
on the line of the extension of the Nor
folk 81 Western railroad. in Wayne
county, West Virginia. The trouble
had its origin in an order from
the contractor, which started the men
to breaking up their tools. The former
tried to stop them and called a number
of whites to his aid. The negroes at
tackled them and came near killing
seven of the party, beating some of the
men terribly with clubs and rocks. The
whites were compelled to fly for their
lives, but later large number of whites
assembled, armed with WincheSters,
and the negroes were dispersed, eight
being arrested.
