Sanguine Of Success.
Gratis WILL NOMINATE A WINNING
TICKET.

PHILADELPHIA. July so tell you
we can win. All we will have to do
will be to get out Our vote,' said
Chairman Kerr, of the Democratic
state committee. "The Democratic
party in no state in the country is max
ing as rapid headway as in Pennsylv-
ania. We are in much better posi-.
tion for success than we were a year
ago.
81 am certain of it, for the reason
that the party is united and harmoni-
Gus, andis in shape for the contest next
fall. The Democracy is hopeful and
IN good spirits. The best evidence of
the condition Of the party is that there
are no candidates for party nomina-
tons, but all are exceedingly anxious
that good ticket shall be made"
"Who do you think will be nomn-
ated for state treasurer and auditor
general'' .. -I..s
''Wc will nominate the best men
that can be found-men who are pe-
culiarly fitted for the discharge of the
duties of the Office for which they may
be named. We intend putting our
best foot forward to avoid mistakes
and to take advantage of the blunders
of our opponents"
"Then the Democratic party in the
State is united?" H.
"It never was in better condition,
and never better organized for a cam
paign.'
''You think, then, the Democratic
party is growing in strength ?"
at is growing in strength daily

Calcasieu has two Democratic COM
mittees. The parish convention held
last September to elect delegates to
the congressional Convention, elected
a parish committee. The committee
that called that convention held a
meeting lately and announced that
the appointment OF a new committee
by that convention was not one of the
objects for which it was called and
that the new committee is no COM

has since met, and appointed conn
mittee to report lin regard to the un-

ings of the late parish committee .

divide the Is centuries by 4, and
will remain !; and in column 2 of the
table, opposite 81, is D which is the
dominieal letter for the year 1891
Now d in this case represents Sun
day, and being the fourth letter Of the
alphabet represents also the fourth
day of January last, as will appear by
reference to an almanac. This is the
first step towards finding Easter, and
consist in finding the date of the first
Sunday in the year.
235 lunar months make 19 solar
years; l9 years is therefore lunar
cycle. The new moon therefore will
fall on the same day in any two years
which occupy the same place in this
cycle. For convenience this cycle was
fixed to begin on the first of January
one year before the christian era, as
there was new moon on that day,
The number of the year in the cycle
when this concurrence takes place, is
called the Golden Number, and is as
certained by adding the one year pre-
vious to the christian era to the pres
ent year and dividing the sum by nine
teen, the number OF years in cycle.
1891 plus make 1892, divided by 49,
give SO cycles which have elapsed. and
II for remainder, which is the num-
Der of years of 100th cycle, and the
golden number for this year.
The word Epact signifies the age OF
the moon at the beginning of the
year and as solar year is IL days
longer than a lunar year, the moon
which is new on the first day of Janu-
ary one year will be eleven days old
the next year. A table of epacts has
been prepared showing the epacts for
any year, in columns of thirty respre-
senting as many days, under each
golden number so that, having ascer-
tained the golden number for the year,
the epact or age of the moon at the
beginning of the year, can be seen at a
glance. The golden number for this
year is II. Under IL in the table OF
epacts opposite the number represent
ing this century is 20, which is the
epact that falls on January 1lth, Feb
ruary 9th, March 18th, ETC., Of this
year, according to the Gregorian or
ecclesiastical calendar, and according to
that calendar there were new moons
on those days; but the real or astro-
nomical new moons generally take
place one or two days earlier, and the
new moon of January in this year was
on the 10th.
To find Easter according to this
calendar, find the golden number in
the manner explained; and from the
table Of epacts get the epact for the
year in the calendar table find at the
first day after March 7th, the date
where this epact occurs, which is the
date of the new moon and to this
date add thirteen days, which gives
the date of the full moon, and the
dominical letter that follows that date
shows the date of Easter Sunday.
There is smaller table giving the
epacts, dominical letters and all the
possible days in March and April that
Easter can follow; by knowing the
epact and dominica letter, Easter OF
any year, past, present, or future,
can be ascertained from this table in
an instant.

It is singular attitude assumed by
few newspapers in this State, by ap-
proving and commencing the action
OF the citizens of New Orleans in kill
ing the murderers of chief of police
Hennessy, and at the same time blam-
ing and even abusing Gov. Nichols
because he did not prevent that kill
ing. The answer to this is very SIM
pie. Gov. Nichols could not have
prevented it, even if he had had the
power, any more than he could have
prevented the murder Of Hennessy,
because the killing was done too
suddenly and quickly; but if he had
been notified the day before that it
was to take place, he had no power to
prevent it. The only force that he
could have called upon was the New
Orleans militia, and that was probably
engaged on the other side /; at any rate
the militia would not have interfered
with the citizens.
