Geo. d. Wise, Democrat from the Third
Virginia district, chosen at an election in
1888, in which the Republican vote of the
district was largely increased; in which
more votes were cast in proportion to the
population than inmany districts in North

votes than were cast for tWo-thirds of the Re
publican members of the House that unsea-

Every one will regret that the State
Board Of Agriculture was forced, from lack
of means, to continue it's efforts to attract
immigrants to Virginia througha Commits
sioner of immigration. 1t was seed plant
ing that would have brought forth good
harvest in time. The Board had selected
a good agent in Judge Grattan for the
work, and when it takes it up again, as in
the course of events it must okeep abreast
OF progress, we trust it may secure as good
a one.

the different parts which would be rather
In substantial benefits secured than In any
conspicuous outward alteration Of the pres
ent system. Brooklyn would remain as It is,
In name, In local pride. and In power to reRu-
late Its own affairs. It's City Hall, like New
York's City Hall, would be a seat OF admins
tration. But 1t would gain the advantage
TO Itself Of a voice in the government Of the
whole consolidated municipality, 80 that It's
own interests might be the better subserved.
Its development would become more normal
than less 80, for as part OF the whole, des-
tined under proper development, probably,
to be the greatest OF all In numerical
strength, 1t could shape the system Of COM
munications with Manhattan Island and the
rest Of the Union which would give its pros
perity new impulse.
Hence we cannot doubt that the project
for consolidation now under investigation
by State Commission will ultimately COM
mand the hearty support Of the citizens Of
Brooklyn, ably seconded In their desires by
our now reluctant friend, the Citizen.

which It excites the magnetism OF tie earth,
extends equally to other planets. When the
| sun is most intensely agitatcd the vast
| globe OF Jupiter is covered with unwonted
spots and belts, and Its great equatorial
| bands flush fiery red.
| Recent observations by Prof. BIdELow
make it appear probable that electricity
plays chief part In the production OF the
magnificent phenomena Of the suns corona.
His application OF the formu@ OF stattcal
electricity TO the coronal structure shows
that the forms of the streamers may be re-
garded as indicating lines OF force surround
ing the tremendous central magnet OF the
solar system When the internal forces OF
the sun, where the mightiest powers OF
nature play at will, burst forth with sudden
violence, there is grand display OF the cleo
trio banners, and Immediately the Impulse
is communicated from end to end OF the sys-
TEN. the atmosphere Of the earth flames
with auroral lights, the needle shivers ana
flies wildly round its axis, and far-on Jupi-
ter rcddcns at the magnetic touch.
When comet comes into the solar system,
there Is a beautiful exhibition OF power OF
the sun which Is certainly not gravitation,
nor an effect of radiant light or heat as we
know them, but which is probably an express
sion of electric energy. The appearance OF
the comets tail. while 1t ls yet far from the
sun, Is the first evidence that the visitor from
space is affected by Its approach toward the |
solar orb At first the tail is barely visible.
but as the comet draws nearer 1t increases
in size and brightness until, at last. as 1t
swings around the sun at close quarters, ITS
blazing train sweeps away hundred mill
lion miles. In this field Of the sun, into
which comet cannot venture without thus
attesting the far-reaching power OF the
wonderful governing body at it's centre, our
little globe circles, and its inhabitants can
not be too thankful that the great magnet
around which they revolve, Is not more er-
attic In the manifestations Of Its power.

How His Speech Is Viewed by Q HTan
who Knew Him.
Prom the PoSt E51JresG

1
There was q great meeting of the ActorS' Vund Asso
Cleveland made tho principal speech 1t was an aston
ance that he felt no contamination from mixing with
players. Mr. Cleveland is very fond Of telling the pub.
lilo how strictly he was reared; and to the orepeated
story he now adds cordm hSrontbuS declaration of
his undated faith and steadfRsness In Presbyterian
ism While confessing his piety before men, Il might
have been well for him to give his opinion on revision
Seriously, whenever Mr.. Cleveland assumes his pious
pose We are tempted to fling at him tho rebuke admin
iSered by Nell GwynO to Mary Davis But the egR 10
little too unBavory even for such
After some remarks about tho charity in whose In.
terest the meeting was held, Mr. Cleveland went
through his great act as perennial candidate and ap-
pealed tothe players to remember their political obliRa
lions. He addressed them as thoughtful mon" ask.
ing them to appreciate soboy" their duties to tho
country. Concluding he said:
Pardon me II say 70 you that al these things aud all
s related to the affairs OF country This Goyern
ent OF ours eonstructed upon the theory that every
forthcoming it's bost objects and purposes will not be
accomplished AZ the welfare of your country Is doar
OF your Government and MS your interests and pros.
peritv in common with those OF your feGOw eli.
zens are bound up In tho OF FREQ In
stuti9nS do not forget that these things only DO
secured by conscientious political thought and careful
political action"
Such speech as this to such audience is Of one
great advantage at least 1t affords the actors an
opportunity TO study from nature-from nude 30 TO
Speak-the personal hypoerite and political pharlsee
1t was splendid chance for the comedians.
