he was in his shirt sleeves, his cotton
pants being held up by single bed tick

ARCIURUS.

AS the bright starlight nights come
round. it is well to interest ourselves and
others in the magniicence of the universe
A proper study in this direction only in
creases our admiration of GoD, and rever-
euce for His name and nature. Besides,
the works of GoD should be studied by Us.
There are two stairways by which we climb
to the throne of His glory: His word and
His works. We should not shut the gates
which open at our feet entering into them.
During the last two years nearly hundred
different observations have been taken of
Arcturus the brilliant star seen now nearly
overhead, or near the zenith in the early
evening. DR.. ELKIN, the great astronomer,
fixes the motion of Arcturus at 3S1 miles
per second, while the motion Of our planet
is only about eighteen miles per second,
thus showing Arcturus to move at speed
about twenty-one times as great as ours
The whole length or sweep of the star is
about the whole length of Utah between
comets are known to have a rate
of speed exceeding that of
Arcturus. While Sirius (the dog star is
receding from our world now at the rate of
twenty miles a second, Arcturus is ap-
preaching US at the rate of fifty FIVE miles
a second. Should it continue to approach
Tor 10,O00 years at the same rate, it yet
would continue to appear only distant
star. If our sun were removed to distance
10000 times greater than it now is from
US, his brilllance would be the same as
that of Arcturus; but Arcturus is II, 500, 600
times farther from US than our sun, so
Arcturus as asphere is believed to be $50,
600 times as large as our SIM. That we
may see how small our earth is as sphere,
\ let it be noted that Jupiter, of our solar
system, is larger than all the other planets
revolving about our sun, and yet the sun
itself would make 1000 Jupiters, while
Acturus would make 50O,OOO,O 900 Jupiters.
Great and mighty are the works of COP.

THE COLORADO DIVISION SCHEME.

We do not apprehend that anything will
come from the movement just announced
having for its object the division of Colo
rado into two states, the summit OF the
Rocky mountains to form the dividing line.
Mauifestly the scheme was born in the
brains Of disgruntled politicians who want
offices and find there are not enough to go
round. II they could make two states out
of one there would be just twice as many
offices to be filed and two politicians could
feed at the public crib where one now gets
his fodder from that generous store. We
imagine that the people generally will Wig
orously oppose the proposition, the oppo-
sition being equally earnest on either side
of the line.
Colorado is none too large for a western
state, either in domain or population. AS
to the latter it will be good many years
before our neighbor will rank with the
smaller states of the east IN the number of
her people. To divide at this time would
create two rotten boroughs out of reput-
able state.
The suggestion that the divisionists do
not want TO annex Utah because the politics
OF our people is so uncertain, is decidedly
rich. This exposes who are at the bottom
of the scheme. They are ambitious Re-
publicans who know that Utah is over
whelmingIy Democratic and that the voters
of this territory would at once take control
of the new state. Furthermore, is it not a
little impudent to decline Utah before
the tender has been made 1t strikes
us that way: 1t also occurs to
US that the proposition to unite
would be most determinedly fought by al
our people. Utah feels her oats" so &c
speak, and while she is not clamorous fo1
a state government she realizes that when
emancipation does come this state will moi
bow to Colorado in any of those thing:
which make state great and influential
Nobody here would for a moment enter
tain the iGea of permitting Utah to bt
swallowed up and lose her identity through
incorporating her with any of her neigh
bors.

DISCIPLINING RUSSIA.

Herr BEBEL, Socialistic leader in Ger
many. has issued a verbal proclamation in
public speech, wiping the government of
Russia from the face of the earth. He
thinks the other nations of Europe ought to
revolutionlze the Cars dominion inside
and out, obliterating it from the map of Eu-
rope and dividing up its possessions among
the rest of the powers
There is no doubt that something ought
to be done as to Russia, which presents to
the world the spectacle Of a starving peo-
pie and an Indifferent governments gov
eminent which recklessly goes on in a
career OF persecution and atrocIous cruelty,
in the midst of condition of poverty and
VICE. that should soften hearts the f1intest
and most tyrannical. But it is gravely to
be feared that the work of amelioration
can not be performed from the exterior.
Almost eXhaustless in the resources of war
as to ornaments, men, facilities of tran
sportaton, naval supplies, ETC., Russia is
equipped for stern and nearly impregnable
defense. None of the nations OF Europe
are prepared for long, draining war, aud
the internal affairs of the Muscovite, in
the etiquette of governments, furnish no
tr additional ground for hostilities. So the
slow processes OF self accusation and con-
viction must be awaited. In the provi-
dence of GoD the present distresses, little
as they seem to have moved the authorities
SO far, may at length prove precursor OF
| more humane policy.

were increased from 40 to so per cent. on
some sorts of goods, and from 40 to 100 per
cent. on others. The makers of cotton ties,
likewise had to have higher duties. This
was easy. There are no Republican votes
of any consequence where cotton is raised,
and so Major MCKINLEY increased the tar

but while it has been the habit OF Re-
publican Congresses to devise laws
to increase the prices OF manu-
facturers' goods, who ever heard OF
a Republican Congress enacting laws
to increase the prices of agricultural
products! When did a Republican congress
raise the price Of wheat from 10 cents to
Sl.40 per bushel, hay from IS to SIG ton
and cattle from to cents pound! The
reply, the correct reply, is that it is not the
business of congress to do this; that the
crops must take their chances in the mar

the United States says it shall not, and the
determination is recorded.

A DANGEROUS HABIT CURED.

One bad habit of the House of Represen-
tatives at Washington has ben cured, and
the probabilities are that it is cured for
ever. We mean the habit of subservience
to the northeastern manufacturers. Here
tofore, whenever they grumbled Congress
listened. When they complained that
they were making only 10 or 10 per cent in
their business, Congress asked them how
it could help them TO make 25 TO 40 per
cent. When they said the tariff was too
low, Congress made it higher. When it
was too high Oh certain things they wanted
to buy, Congress either made it lower or re-
moved it entirely. If they said they couldn't
make money fast enough by selling
a dollars worth OF goods for a dollar and
half, Congress promptly revised the tariff
and put it up to dollar and six bits; aud
when this exorbitant price failed TO satisfy
their inordinate greed, Congress revised
the tariff again and made dollars worth
of goods bring S1.S5. The wooden manu-
facturers groaned that they were not pro-
tected enough. The MCKINLEY bill there
tore increased the duty on wooden and
worsted yarns from 10 to 1872 per cent; on
worsted underwear and women's and
childrens dress goods from 70 to 10 per
cent; on another grade from 6S to 146 per
cent.
The cotton manufacturers wanted more
protection, too, and they got it. Duties

The PIoUA tinplate works have produced
some irony-shset-irony.

COLONEL THEADoRE A. DODGE says that
Notwithstanding the popular impression
that the United States is peaceful nation,
we have had our fair share of both domes
tic and foreign strife. He points out that
since the Revolution we have had wars
with England and with Mexico, with Trip
oil and with Algiers; broiIs with Paraguay
and Corea. and a gigantic civil war: ru-
mors of wars with France, England. Spain
and Italy. There have been the JOIN
BROWN raid, the Barnburner and Fenian
raids to Canada, many incursions across
the Mexican border and the filibustering
expeditions to Cuba and Nicaragua. We
have had the Whiskey and Shays rebel
lions, the election, draft, railroad, recon
siruction and sundry serious city riots; we
have had well on to two hundred deadly
Indian fights and many awful massacres.
We have lost more men in active war since
1776 than any nation of Eorope. This is a
startling record for peaceful people.

those who have rendered so much aid and
comfort, have been driven back and
alienated. 1t is a sad wreck which has
been wrought in so short a time, and we
fear that it will take years to recover the
lost ground.
However, the poor man has paid the
great debt and can do no more. In his day
he was mighty. He fought CALAMITY, never
displayed fear, and did more than any
other man to bring the Irish cause before
the world, and to put in motion the machi-
merry for Fighting the wrongs under which
the people have suffered for centuries.
Ireland must always honor the memory Of
PARNELL, and place his name among those
OF the heroes who have devoted their lives
to the cause of human freedom.
1t is to be hoped that his death will open
the way to the coming together of the fac
lions and the uniting of the clements which
have been warning against each other in
stead of presenting sol fr mt to the com
mon enemy. II to do this II shall be neces
sary for MCCARTHY to retire, he should be
sufficiently patriotic to step aside for the
good of his country. Only in union car

PARNELL.
anything.

We take 1t the announcement of the death
of CHARLES STEWART PARNELL will occs-
sion more surprise than sorrow. This would
have been reversed had he died two years
ago, for then all friends Of Ireland and all
lovers of liberty would have INDUCED in
sincere mourning. Today the prevalent
feeling will be that the poor man lived too
long. People may not express it thus
bluntly, but that will be the sentiment of
their hearts, and among those who will feel
this most keenly will be many who were
once so proud to train under the banner of
the patriot. PARSELL was a great man
great up to certain point and reaching
that he fell and became insignificant
and almost contemplate We do not refer
now to his unfortunate relations with Mrs.
O'SHEA. That affair was bad enough, and
lowered him in the personal estimation of
everybody. But PARNELL' greater offense,
as patriot and leader, was in perslsting
in forcing himself to the front TO the wreck
and ruin of his oppressed and struggling
countrymen. Rather than curb his am
bitiou, rather than surrender the leader
ship when everything told him that to hold
on would be fatal TO the Irish cause, he was
willing to undo all The good that had been
done, and reverse the wheels which had
cost SO much of time and money and
labor to set in progressive motion.
Having in an evil hour been guilty of a
fault which his followers would not con-
done, and which destroyed his usefulness
for time at least, patriotism and love for
the Irish should have prompted his retire
ment, when the good work which promised
early success could have been carried on
without a hitch; but he permitted the
demagogue in his nature to dominate and
by his course said that ireland should be
sacrificed rather than PARNELL yield. His
course during the past two years has cos,
ireland heavily. The struggling people
are themselves divided, and their friends
