Inconsistency.

The Reno Gazette processes to be-
lieve that the INDEPENDENT opposes
the commodity silver law because it
is a Republican measure. The Ga
zette, as usual, is wrong. The INDE-
PENDENT, unlike the Gazette, is al
ways consistent. 1t is not so bound
to party that it will one day proclaim
unalterable allegiance to free coinage,
with no compromise on the principle
Of himetalism, and the next day laud
to the skies a law passed by "our
party" which degrades silver, makes
gold the only standard of values and
permits money sharks to make raise
by cornering the white metal. We
would indorse law providing for the
free and unrestricted coinage of sill
YER, even If passed by Republicans,
and condemn such law as we now
have, if passed by Democratic Con-
Gress; position on the silver ques-
ton which the Reno Gazette dare
not assume, because, forsooth, it ad-
heres more closely to party than it
does to principle.

THE SECRET BALLOT.

"It must have been q bitter dose
for the Democratic Convention to be
obliged to swallow the Australian
ballot clause Of its platform
That sentence appears in the Vir-
ginis Enterprise Of the 18th instant.
Assuming that it was written by a
person ignorant Of tho attitude Of the
two parties in Nevada toward the
secret ballot rather than for the pur-
pose of deceiving the people the at
tention of the Enterprise is directed
to the following facts:
On February %, 1889, Senator La
Grave, Of this county, Democrat, in
troduced Senate bill No. Is, which re-
lated to elections and provided for the
adoption of the Australian plan to
secure secret ballot. (See page 40
Of the Senate Journal, 1882 The
bill passed February 18th, all the
Democrats and several Republicans
voting for it. March LIST Republican
Senator who saw that it would, to a
great extent, prevent intimidation by
bosses and vote buying by millionaires
at elections, moved to reconsider the
bill and the motion prevailed, and a
motion to indefinitely postpone the
bill was carried by a vote Of 13 to 7,
two Republicans voting with the
Democrats against the motion. (See
page 239, Senate Journal) Every
Democrat in the Senate voted for the
secret ballot bill, and every Demo
cratic paper in the State advocated
its passage.
With these facts before it the
Enterprise will see the mistake it
made in the words above quoted, and
that we're it not for Republican votes
in the Legislature, there would be a
secret ballot act in the Statutes which
would enable Comstock miners to
vote IA they please next November,
without mourning the risk of being
discharged for SO doing.-ISilver

A college Cry for the Girls.

Now Wellesley College is going to
have college cry. The girls are a
good deal worked up over the matter,
and no end of proposals are made
that is, of course, proposals for a col
lege cheer. There is strong senti.
ment among the students against APP
pearing to follow the example of the
masculine colleges in this serious mat
ter of choosing cheer. In the start
the girls have made o distinction by
deciding to term their college cry a
'syell' instead of cheer In a call
for propositions recently made in the
college monthly magazine it is speci-
fed that the yell must be "a wild,
lyrical cry, strong but essentially fem
inine." A prize is offered for some
thing entirely satisfactory.
A few years ago Smith College be.
came much exercised on the same sub
ject, and the student periodicals oi
Yale, Harvard. and Princeton under.
took to help the girls out with sugges-
tions. The suggestion which met with
most favor in tie masculine college
was this:
"Hoorayl Hooray! S-m-i-t-hl
Smith! just too lovely for anything
o. how niceln
But it did not meet with the approval
of the Smith College girls. and was moi
adopted.-M I. Sun.

child Marriages in MOROCCO.

In all warm climates the period of
puberty for both sexes arrives earlier
than it does In the chilly latitudes Of
the North. and. therefore, the marriage.
able epoch is correspondingly advanced.
But unfortunately it is more than cor
respondingly advanced, for a system
of child marriages has prevailed dur
ing many generations. by means of
which infantine brides and bride
grooms (but especially brides) are
simply bought and sold to suit the con-
venienee or the interest of the parents,
saws the London Graphic. Much at
tention has been lately directed to this
subject in India, and it is to be hoped
that the native mind will gradually be-
come aware of the cruelties which are
perpetrated under this system of forced
and unnatural unions. One IS some
what surprised TO find that these pre-
mature marriages also prevail among
the Jews of Morocco. for they certainly
seem contrary 10 the spirit, if not the
letter, of the law of Moses. As is well
known, the Jews, despite the oppres-
sion and contempt With which they
are treated by the followers of the Pro-
phet, are very umerous in the Empire
of Morocco, particularly in the cities,
where they carry on all the mercantile
and monetary transactions, act as in
terpreters and perform the functions
of servants. porters and scavengers.

The Life of a Shooting Star.

A small body, perhaps as large as a
paving-stone or larger-more often,
perhaps, not as large as a marbles
moving around the sun. Just as
mighty planet revolves in an ellipse,
so this small object will move round
and round in an ellipse, with the sun
in the focus. There are at the present
moment inconceivable myriads of such
meteors moving in this manner. They
are too small. and too distant for our
telescopes, and we can never see them
except under extraordinary circum-
stances. At the time we see the me-
teor it is usually moving with enor-
nous velocity. so that it often traverses
a distance of more than twenty miles
in a second of time. Such velocity is
almost impossible near the earth's SUR
face. the resistance of the air would
prevent it. Aloft in the emptiness of
space there is no air to resist the me-
teor. 1t may have been moving round
and round the sun for thousands, per-
haps for millions, of years without let
or hinderance; but the supreme mo-
ment arrives, and the meteor perishes
in streak of splendor. In the course
of its wanderings the body comes near
the earth, and within a few hundred
miles OF Tue surface, Oh course, DeSlHS
to encounter the surface of the atmos-
phere with which the earth is inclosed.
To body moving with the appalling
velocity of a meteor plunge into the
atmosphere is usually fatal. Even
though the upper layers of the air are
excessively attenuated. yet they sud-
denly check the velocity, almost as a
rifle bullet would be checked when
fired intO wafer As the mpteor rIShes
through the atmosphere the friction of
the air warns its surface. Gradually
it becomes red hot, then white hot, and
is finally driven off into yapor with a
brilliant light, while we on the earth,

..Oh, look. there is shooting star!'

How to See the wind.

Take a polished metal surface of two
feet or more, with straight edge; a
large handsaw will answer the pur-
pose. Take a windy day for the ex-
pertinent; whether hot or cold, clear or
cloudy; only let it not be in murky.
rainy weather. Hold your metallic
surface at right angles TO the direction of
the wind. e.. if the wind is north hold
your surface east and west, but instead
of holding it vertical incline it about AZ
degrees to the horizon. so that the
wind, striking. glances and flows over
the edge, as the water flows over a
dam. Now sight carefully along the
edge some minutes at sharply defined
object, and you will see the wind pour
ing over the edge in graceful curves.
Make your observations carefully and
you will hardly ever fail in the expert
ment; the results are even better if
the sun is obscured.-St. Louis Repu6-

How the Great Lakes Were Named.

The name of the great lakes Of
America are generally of Indian origin.
The early discoyerers of Ontario called
it ''St. Louis" and afterward the
early French called it Lake Front
enac" after the governor. The En-
glish, when they first claimed dominion,
called it '.Katarakui, or Ontario;
Mitchell called it ''Catarakui," and
Pownall the same, but the name
'4Ontarlo'' was the one always used.
Huron was named from the Indian
tribe on its shores when first discovered.
From Homans, 17o6, and De rIsle.
1929, it received the alias of mich
igann; Hennepin, 1893, and Coke, 1921,
called it Huron, or Kargnondi'';
Washington's journal. 1850, calls it
..Quatoghi, or Huron"
Lake Michigan. persistently called at
first "Illinois, was called michigan"
first by Sener in 1914, since which
time it has been generally known by
that name.
Champlain. the first topographer of
Lake Superior called it Grand lac. !"
The wonderful Jesuit map called it
Tracy or Superior" Coke and Sener
called it by an alias after the Sioux-or,
as they were then called, the Nadous-
sians-on its shores.
Lake Erie received its name from
the Fries on its banks and uniformly
retained its name. The Eries We're
known as the Cat nation; therefore
some early writers call it ..FeIis'' and
s.Du Chat. Sener called it stCadara-
