An effort to secure an evasion Of the law requiring

petitions were circulated in all the bureaus and many
of the employees understood that ii would be for their
best interests 10 sign and the form was generally
signed. When Commissioner Adams was asked II he
sanctioned II ne sent for Mr. Martin, and the latter
explained that up the form at the suggestion
OF several employees but he denied that any pressure

The Star of Bethlehem.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
recently noticed an item in the Journals to
the effect that certain astronomer makes the
announcement that we may, during the present
year. see the much-talked of brilliant wander
ing orb, ''the Star of Bethlehem" which the
Danish astronomer. Tycho Brahe, is said TO
have observed in 1872 Is is said to have ap-
poared IN the region of the heavens between
Cepheus and Cassiopeia. If remember Alright,
the late Richard Proctor, little before his
death, rIdiculed the idea of the Star OF Bethle-
hem, proDouncing it delusion, the star being
nothing more than the planet Venus, which at
certain periods-widely apart-attains to de-
gree of marvellous splendor, such as it pre-
sented during the past year.
This explanation seemed to have satisfied
many people, but then there is discrepancy
connected with it. Either Tycho Brahe must
have been deceived regarding the location Of
that brilliant star. which he and thousands of
others gazed upon. or else Venus must have
shot off at a tangent in the direction of Cassie
peia, and, after lingering around the inverted
chair for some time, took centrifugal reVolu-
tion or two then quietly returning to her solar
companions, settled down on the old plane
again.
Now. as Tvcho Brahe was an astronomer Of
no mean ability, he was not likely to be mis-
taken regarding the location of that brilliant
star, which fact renders Mr.. Proctor's explana-
tion rather unsatisfactory. If Mr.. Proctor was
right then TychO Brahe was deceived, which is
will throw a little light upon the subject, 1t
will interest thousands of your readers. as well
as o. JONES.

ASIDE from its general humor. IeIds Siftinos
frequently publishes short stories by such
noted writers Howard Seely, David A. Cur
tbs. Melville Phillips and Mary A. Benson.
This feature is very popular and gives addi-
tional interest TO an always interesting paper.
THE Albany Journal was 90 years of age on
Saturday, but Notwithstanding its age it is full
of life and kicks as hard as colt in fly time.
1t celebrated the event by issuing double
number filled with happy "reminiscences of the
past. The argus is good paper and terror
to wrongdoers.
THE Philadelphia Record, the leading Demo-
cratic journal in the State, is prospering beyond
ali expectations 1t has added three of the
latest and most approved Hoe presses. The
Record is one of the brightest and at the same
time cheapest dailies in the State, and Phia-
delphia and Democracy have just cause to be
proud of it.
THE Spokane Spokesman published at Spo-
kane Falls, Wash, is a new daily that bids fair
to take front seat in the sea of journalism
1t is independent in all things and says it is un-
der obligation only to tell the truth to its
readers. who are the people. geographically
it is neat and it's columns are filed with the
news of the day.
THE Racket is the name of new illustrated
comic weekly that has made its bow to the
public in New York. 1t is after the style of
1eras Stftings, and its columns are brim full of
originalities, bright and amusing. The paper
is well printed one, filled with funny and
bright cartoons. 1t is published by James T.
Metcalf and Andrew Miller, both connected
with Life. 1t costs but cents copy, and is
an excellent thing to ward off the blues.
FRANK LESLIE's Illustrated Newspaper for

devoted entirely to the international Ameri-
can Conference excursion. The front cover is
handsomely printed in various coors, while the
inside pages contain beautiful engravings of
the different manufactures and industries
visited by the delegates while on their trip.
Among the illustrations in this vicinity are the
works of Ripley & Co., Andrew Carnegie and
the Allegheny Library building the Home
stead Steel Works. at Munhal station, and the
Edgar Thomson Steel Works. at Bessemer
station. The entire book is a credtable piece
of work and reflects great credit on the pub
fishers and artists.

COMPARISONS ARE 0DIOUs.

1t is interesting to observe the fact that
the political opponent of any organ is always
in the wrong. The last comment of the
Louisville Courier-Journdl on the sugar
duties as proposed by the Mckinley bill is
as follows:
The outline of the bill about to be reported
by Mr.. Mckinley, the same gentleman who re-
ported the platform condemning trusts, shows
that the interests of the sugar combination
have not been forgotten. Raw sugar is to be
protected by duty of So per cent. while refined
sugar, the product of the trust is to get 40 per
cent. Now. it is perfectly well known that the
business of refining sugar in this country re-
quires no protection, beyond the amount of the
duty to compensate for the tariff on the raw
material. The extra per cent is pure gra-
tuity, or, perhaps it would be more correct to
say, the payment of political debt
This seems hard on the Republican policy,
at first; but when we examine the author
ized edition of the Democratic policy on
sugar duties, it proves to be severer in the
recoil than in the discharge. The esteemed
Courier-,Journdl should remember that there
was once Mills bill which our Kentucky
cotemporary swore by. After reading the
above savage arraignment of giving refined
sugars 5 per cent more protection than raw,
would anyone believe that the Democratic
measure, which the Courier-,Journdl in
dorsed, gave them 20 per cent more? Yet
that is the sad case. The difference between
the specific duties on raw and refined sugar
proposed by the Mills bill ranged from 81
to II mills per pound. The specific differ
ence by the Mckinley bill at present prices
will be 2 mills.
II the protection of one-fith OF cent by
the Mckinley bill is the payment of polit-
ical debt, as alleged by the Courier-Journal,
what can the protection of five times that
amount, offered by the Mills bill, be but
big political bribe to the Sugar Trust?

BEEF TOMORROW,

The future of beef is troubling our es-
teemed cotemporary, the Country Gentle
man. A good deal of our cotemporary' s
space has been devoted to this momentous
subject of late. But we are panied to
notice that the very essence of the matter
seems to have been overlooked. The future
ofbeefis to be eeaten-nobody but prejudiced
steer will deny this-but the Country Gen
tlenadn has not word to say of this. In
stead, we find great deal about the appar-
ent overproduction in the number of beef
animals, shortage in ranges, prices and
markets.
The average man who turns his mind to
the consideration of the future of beef, finds
his thoughts wondering off to the cognate
