A Small Boys ImagIninr.

What imaginative creatures children
are, to be sure. There is one little
Washington boy who explained to his
mother while she was undressing him
the. other night most extraordinary
metaphysical theory of his own inven.
tion. 1t was that there was nothing
in the world that had any real exist
ence outside of his own immediate per.
sonality. Wherever he went and to
however great distance, there were
always substantial surroundings, but
his notion was that perhaps when he
left any particular locality those sur.
roundings went out of being at once.

the city in a car, block after block Of

LATER FEDERALiSrS.
Ihe Descendants of the Men Who Fought
Jefferson Still nm nocL

The Descendants of the Men who Fought
| Jefferson Still on Deck.
Cabot Lodge, the Massachusetts, Re-
publican who stands as sponsor in the
House of Representatives for the in
famous Federal election bill, is de-
scendant of George Cabot, who was a
mber of the notorious Essex junto.
The Essex junto was cabal of old Fed
eralists who held out for many years
against the Democracy of Jefferson and
III favor of the aristocracy of Hamilton.
1t was this junto, aided and abetted by
the preachers of New England, that car
ried the old Federalist opposition to
Jefferson almost to the point of trea-
son and secession. Its members were
arlstocrats who hated the people and
who believed that this Government
should be managed by the wise and the
good, they being the persons who were
to decide who were wise and good. AS
for the idea that there could possibly be
any wisdom or virtue in the body of the
people, such proposition never en-
tered their heads. They regarded
wealth as the first requisite of good
citizenship and mans poverty was to
them sufficient evidence that he was not
wise and not good. The Essex iunto
was overthrown by the triumphs of
Democracy; its members went croaking
and lamenting to their graves, some of
them publicly deploring the separation
OF the colonies from the British crown.
and although their descendants organ
lied further opposition to Democracy
on practically the same lines
they never again dared to raise
aloft in the light of day the old Fed
eralist motto of Down with the peo-
pie" The triumph of Democracy over
this clement was of as much Importance
as the triumph of the revolutionary
army against King Georges regulars
and mercenaries. The one was the
complement of the other, and without
the triumph of Democracy over Amer
lean aristocracy and privilege the tri-
umph of the patriot army over the
British monarchy would have been of
little avail. There would have been |
change of masters and no more.
Cabot Lodge fears and hates the peo-
rle to-day as his ancestors hated and |
feared them three generations ago. He |
wants to govern them and to control |
them. If they do not vote as he wishes,
or II they do not vote at all, he would
like to have in use official machinery
that would compel them to vote and to
vote as he thinks they should vote. He
has no sympathy with and no under
standing of the Jeffersonian idea that
the people are capable OF governing
themselves, ei correcting errors as they

THE FALL ELECTIONS,
Upon Their Results Depends the Politics
Complexion of tho Senate.

Upon Their Results Depends the Political
Complexion of the Senate.
The infamous outrage perpetrated on
the people of Montana gave the Repub-
licans ten majority in the United States
Senate, instead of the six to which they
were entitled. On the 4th of March
next twenty-eight Senators will have
completed their terms, and in the elec-
tion of their successors some important
political changes may be expected.
The condition of affairs in Wisconsin is
not by any means favorable to the hopes
of Senator Spooner for reelection, as
| there are good grounds to look for a
Democratic Legislature. The contest
In Illinois will be most stubborn one,
General Palmer, the Democratic candi.
date for United States Senator, being
exceedingly popular, and being prepared
to use all his influence as an effective
campaign speaker for the election of
| Democratic Legislature. California
will likely send Democrat to the Sem
ate in Leland Stanford's place, and
| Connecticut Democrats expect to re-
| place Orville II. Platt with representa-.
tive OF the popular party of the State.
Difficult though the task may be, on
account Of the inlquitous apportionment
that prevails here, the New York De-
mocracy are prepared to enter upon
spirited contest IN the fall to elect a
Democratic Assembly with majority
large enough to overcome the Repub-
lican majority in the Senate on Joint
ballot, and thus insure Democratic
successor to William NJ Eyarts.
With an assured Democratic House
and a Senate that may be tie, the
country might rest easy for the re-
mainder of the Harrison administration,
as an effectual check will be put to
reckless and extravagant appropria-
tions. A radical change in the Senate
would be of incalculable benefit to the
country, for that body has hitherto ex-
hibited the most profound indifference
In regard to the welfare of the people.
All the monopolies and pernicious ele.
ments which have so long controlled the
councils and action of the Republican
party, hold the Senate in their grasp
An infusion of new blood of different
nature from that of Ingalls,, Stanford,
Evarts, Platt, Farwell and Spooner
would have most healthful effect upon
the Senate. There will be more gem
eral interest in the elections of the
various State Legislatures this fall on
which depends the political complexion
of the United States Senate after March
q, than has been felt for many years be-
fore. The Republicans are considera-
bly, handicapped by the widespread pub
lie sentiment against the Harrison ad-
m1nistration and this most outrageous
Congress. They will not hesitate to re-
sort to all kinds of bulldozing tactics
to retain power. But naught can avail
against the voice of the people. Albany

IMMENSELY OF SPACE.
The Distance Separating the Earth from
the Nearest Star.

The Distance Separating the Earth from
the Nearest Star.
For a long period astronomers unsuc-
cessfully endeavored to determine the
distance between the stars and the
earth, and it is only within compare.
lively short time that the interesting
problem can be said to have been
solved. The distance which separates
us from the nearest star is, according
to recent lecture by Prof. Nichols,
about 100000 times greater than the
distance from the earth to the sun, or
95, 1000, 900 of miles multiplied by 2O6, 900.
Alpha, in the constellation of the Cen
taur, is the star nearest the earth; its
light occupies three whole years in
traversing the distance which separates
us from the blinking orb; or, in other
words, should Alpha be blotted out of
existence to-day, we would be we'll into
the summer of 1898 before the inhabit-
ants of this mundane sphere would be
aware that Alpha no longer existed.
Yet light travels SO rapidly as to occupy
no perceptible space of time in flashing
around our globe. If the sun were
transported to the place occupied by
this, the nearest star, the vast circular
disc, which in morning rises majestic
ally above the horizon and in evening
a considerable time in de-
entirely below the same line,
would have dimensions puny in their
