An Incident at an Indian Railway
Accident.

Accident.
An incident Of the late railway col
lision in India is reported. A native
living at Lahore started to join his
wife in Multan, and she at the same
time left Multan to join her husband,
neither being aware Of the others in
%tention. They travelled in two trains
which collided. After the smash, from
which they both escaped unhurt, they
recognized each other, and were heard
saying how lucky it was that the ac-
cident had happened, as otherwise
they would have missed one another.

It seems that the boosted surplus" Of
5000. oO0 has dwindled down at one "fell
swoop OF the treasurer's pen to $780, goo.
Very likely the next report will show no
surplus at Alexandra Democrat.
Come, come, neighbor;tit is all
very well to be caustic in Comment,
and even partisan and factional as
long as the fight is on; but we edi-
tors owe 1t to ourselves and to the
public to at least be fair. There is
no "fell swoop" of the treasurer's
pen making any such showing as
is intimated. The N. o. States, in
the endeavor to prove that Nichols
did not leave shat surplus" made
an investigation, after which it was
fair enough to admit that, "the ac-
tual condition of the treasury on
Jan. l, 1893, will represent a sur
plus of S390,000." Won't you be
as fair as the States, aud give your
readers this solid fact?

The Absurd in Politics.

There seems to be no limit to
human credulity, and Barnum's
claim that the American people
love to be humbugged is almost a
truism. This was never more pat
ent than in the campaign just
closed, in which large contingent
of sturdy voters allowed themselves
to be led into frittering away their
right Of suffrage in support of the
so-called Populite movement.
We have always had third par
ties in American politics, such as
Women's Rights, Prohibition, etc.,
and they have always had living,
tangible issue, but, with all their
absurdity, none of them have gone
backward into the past and dug up
dead issues and exploded fallacies,
nor have any of them entered into
the field of speculation and pro-
posed unfeasible and palpably er-
roneous changes in the administra-
ton of government. This was left
for the latter day Populites, under
the leadership of the erratic Weav-
er, Guice, and others, who went
back to the time of our Savior to
dig up the old exploded Agrarian
idea of the Romans, and then
plunged into futurity to evolve
half a dozen theories of Com
munisti, and Anarchistic tendency.
But it is all over now, and We
feel that the discussion has had an
educational and lasting effect upon
the masses. Having recovered
from their political nightmare, ou1
farmers will be all the better citi.
zens since their troubled dream hai
been interpreted by Democratic
Daniel, and they have had chance
to consider their position after
being fully awake to their response
bility and power as free American
citizens.

The Size of Heaven.

Does any book or commentary
on the Bible give the size OF
Heaven? W. P. P.
The twenty-6rst chapter of Rev.
elation gives the measurement.
The most interesting calculation
on the subject is that of Captain
j. b. Sterkley, measurer OF vessels
in the Boston custom-house. he
takes the statement in Revelation
xxi, and figures it thus: "And he
measured the city with the reed,
12,OOO furlongs - 100000 feet
cubed-497, 793, 086, 900, 900, 100000
feet. Rsserving one-half OF this
space for the throne aud the court
of Heaven, and one-half of the re-
mainder for streets, we have 1884,
1875, 273, OOO, 900, OOO,0 rooms. We
will suppose the world always did
and always will contain 100000
600 inhabitants and that gener-
alton lasts thirty-one and one
eighth years, making in all 1870
600, 900 every century, and that the
world will stand 100000 years or
10000 centuries, 90, zoe, 0OO, 600 in-
habitants. Now suppose there
are 100 worlds like this equal in
the number of inhabitants and
duration of years, total of g.
$4,000, OO0, 900. 900 persons, there
would be more than 100 rooms

Some Oddities of the Calendar.

The days of the month and week
are always the same in March and
November, in April and July and
in September and December; that
is; if March :'comes iii" on Mon
day, November will do likewise,
the same rule applying to the other
months named above. In leap
year January is with April and
July, in other months it is with
October. February, in leap year,
is with August, in other years with
March and November. The last
day of February and the 4th day of
July always occur on the same day
of the week; the same is true OF
May day and Christmas.

Number 1, Volume XVI.


This issue of the CHRONICLE be-
gins our 10th volume. On the
night of November 2, 1877, the
present editor arrived in Colfax
and took charge of the paper then
about one year old, but almost
suspended on account of inatten-
ton and sheer lack of earnest en-
deavour. The history of the
CHRONICLE from that time to this
is a matter of personal knowledge
to most of the older citizens of
Grant parish, and it would be vain
glorious for US to attempt to re-
count the past. Suffice it to say
that we have always striven to be in
the right, and in nearly all instan-
ces We believe we have met the
views and sentiments of the masses.
Wherever there has been clash
of opinions, those opposing have
always given us the credit of being
sincere in our views, and respected
them accordingly. Our hopes and
our fears, our aims and our en-
deavors, are one and the same with
the people, and our differences are
but the outcome following the pit
ting of different minds toward a
given object.
In this era of hope begat of our
late Democratic victory we feel
that we can join heart and hand
with all our fellow-citizens In the
approaching Thanksgiving, and
with never regret for the past,
but looking hopefully to the grand
futse of our grand and noble peo-
pie, wish one and all a full share
! in the good time coming.
