THE EARTH's ATMOSPHERE. One
would hardly think of looking to the
moon for information about the height
of the earth's atmosphere. Yet it is
Just that way that evidence has recently
been obtained that the atmosphere ex-
tends much higher than has commonly
been assumed.
Observations Of lunar eclipses made
at the celebrated observatory of Lord
Rose, in Ireland, have shown that the
amount of heat received from the moon,
which heat is, of course, merely reflect
ed sun heat, just as moonlight is only
reflected sunlight, begins perceptibly to
diminish several minutes before the
shadow of the earth reaches the moon.
The inference is that the earth'S at
mosphere partially cuts off the suns
heat as it comes between the moon and
the sun ahead of the edge of the solid
earth, and calculations based upon the
length of time during which the loss of
heat from the moon is felt before the
eclipse begins indicate that our atmos-
phere reaches height of at least one
hundred and ninety miles.
How different this is from the height
usually stated may be seen by consult
ing a popular school book on physical
geography, published within a few
wears. in which it is affirmed that be-
yond height offorty miles the amount
of air remaining would be too small to
affect the suns rays perceptibly in any
way.
So in the most unexpected, and some
times wonderful, ways we are continu-
ally learning something new about this
time-worn globe on whose surface we
live.

COLONEL PARSONS, the northern re-
publican proprietor of the famous Ma
tural Bridge propertyin this State says
sthe republicans have majority OF the
voters in Virginia" Well, no matter
what other people may think on the
subject referred to, Colonel Parsons Is
the last man any body at all familiar
with political affairs in Virginia would
have supposed capable of making such
a statement, as he led the republicans
in their last campaign in this State, the
result of which was such q ridiculous
failure that even his own party laugh
ed at him.

MONTREAL, Aug. 25.-It seems to be
understood that the principal object OF
the meeting of the priyy council to be
held to-day is to consider the action of
President Harrison in the matter of ca
nal tolls. 1t is anticipated that the gov
eminent will allow the status quo to
continue, as there are only six weeks of
navigation remaining this season at the
farthest.

THE TARIFF tax on wooden clothing
imported into this country amounts to
nearly three-fourths of the cost thereof.
The price of the labor employed in
making wooden clothing in this
country is one-third of the cost
of such clothing. This is another apt
illustration of what the protectionists
sneak of as the inestimable benefit con-
ferred upon American labor by the
Mckinley bill. But President Harri-
son agrees with Mr.. Mckinley that "a
CHEAP coat makes a cheap man" though
wiser and better men think otherwise.

THE SUPPORTERS of the Mckinley
bill, when they boast of the immense
increase in the receipts of customs rev.
enue caused by that bill, forget that this
money is paid, not by the foreign ex-
porters, but by the American importers
who exact every cent of it, with inter-
est. from American consumers. Secre-
tary Foster may chuckle and rub his
hands as he sees the money pouring
into the Treasury vaults, but the sight
eyokes any other than pleasurable
emotions in the hearts of his fellow cit
liens from whom it is exacted.

4 PUBLIC ABUSE.

We have noticed for some time past that there is an addition from Gila Bend to our free bOslders at the "Ilotel de Montgomery" Inquiry has devel- oped the fact that in almost every in stance the charge has been made by an official, whose fees seem to be dependent on arrests. The charges have been in most cases for coal stealing from the Southern Pacific railroad company, and the culprits are tramps. The officials of the Southern Pacific road deny any con nection with these arrests, and, in fact, rather disapprove of it, on the grounds that the amount of coal taken is too small to be noticed, and for fear of in- cendiary acts should they be thought to be the cause of it.
 Five dollars would probably pay for all the coal that has been taken, and yet thousand dollars would not reim- purse the county for the expense and costs thrown on it by these over-zealous officers.
 We call the attention of the board of supervisors to this subject, and recom- mend that they investigate very closely all bills presented. The rejection of a few of them would check the practice. If the supervisors have no authority in the matter, we suggest that the county district attorney consider it, and if nec- essary present some of the facts to the grand jury for their consideration. The records will show that probably over a thousand dollars of debt has been created against the county for matters too trivial to have been noticed. TIE REPUBLICAN will al- ways be found ready to sustain a jealous officer in the execution of his duty, provided that his zeal is directed for the public good, and not for his own individual gain.

A woman's Terrible Experience.

A farmer named Morrand found a woman lying underneath q tree near his farm in St. Jerome parish. Sho was alive, but almost skeleton, unable to speak and insane. She was Matilda Graph, domestic. Over a month ago she left house to go to church, but had never been heard of again and was be- lieved to be dead. She had laid down under tree where she and her dead hus- band had often sat together. She fell asleep and slept for two days, and when she awoke she had lost her reason. She wandered about the woods for thirty five days, and never tasted any food. She obtained water from brook. Since she has been found she has been rational at times and has told the above remark. able story She is in very weak state, Montreal Cor. Minneapolis Tribune.

THE PASS QUESTION.

The interstate commerce commis- sion has rendered decision upon the perplexing railroad pass question which holds that it is unlawful to grant trans portation to public officers or private citizens on the ground that their good will is important to the corporation. Such pass-holders, it is declared, do not have any rights in that respect over ordinary travellers, by reason of their social or official positions, and go it is an unjust discrimination to carry them without payment of the usual fare. The commission is not willing, however, to rule that 1t is illegal to grant passes to newspaper men, hotel proprietors and agents of companies doing busi- ness with the corporation. These class es stand in different light under the law, it is pointed out, and may not un- reasonably claim to be rendering a fair return for the favor. This signifies, ob- viously, that the use of passes to in- fiuence traffic is not clearly forbidden, and, may, perhaps, be justified as a proper business expedient. The reason ing by which this conclusion is reached does not entirely satisfy the intelligence of the average observer, when com pared with the logic of the other part of the decision; but the interstate com merce commission is not supposed or expected to be consistent, and the law by which it is governed permits wide latitude of discretion in all cases.
 There has been good deal of legisla-
 tion with respect to railroad passes, but the corporations go on granting them in greater abundance every year. They find that to be one of the cheap est and most effective ways to promote their interests. The idea that they be- stow these favors for purely compliment tary reasons under any circumstances is absurdly erroneous. They distribute them with a strict and systematic re- gard for the benefit to be derived, and pass never goes out unless it promises to yield good return. In this way many excellent persons who could not possibly be bribed with money are in duced to perform friendly service to the railroad companies. There is no di- rect understanding that they shall do so, but the obligation is none the less certain, and the favor is duly recipro-

cated when the opportunity is pre- scented. Legislators, as a rule, accept all the passes that are offered, and re- member them when they come to vote upon railroad questions; and the judges of the courts are not always above the reach of such temptations, as can be seen from time to time in their dccls- ions. It is we'll understood that the practice is abused, but no means have yet been found to regulate it. The corporations shrewdly evade the laws enacted to prevent them from granting passes at their pleasure, and it is practically impossible to keep men from taking advantage of a condition that seems to give them something for nothing, when in fact they usually pay more for it at last than the cost of transportation would amount to ii they paid full fare on every journey.

Too Lat. with Hi, Collections,

A marriage ceremony at Roseburg was interrupted in q sensational manner few evenings ago. Charles Minkler, a freight conductor at Woodburn, was the groom, and Lottie Critzen, of Roseburg, the bride. During the ceremony the of fciating minister asked if any one had any reason why the ceremony should not proceed.
 A young dry goods clerk of Roseburg, named Mannis, stepped forward, saying he had serious objections. He said he wanted to see and speak with the girl privately. He was put out of the house and pistol was found in his pocket. He said he had always wanted to marry the girl, but had never gathered courage to tell her of his feelings.-San Francisco Chronicle,

Blovn Ont of His Office,

Mir. Nathaniel Paige, the lawyer, had a remarkable experience during the re- cent storm. He was sitting at the desk in his office on the second floor of the Corcoran building, and at the southwest corner, when the storm broke. The door opening into the main hall was open, but the door connecting with small anteroom was closed. The upper part was of glass The strength of the wind broke in the corner windows, and, pick ing Mir. Paige up bodily, carried him through the door, and with the frame hanging around him deposited him out in the main hall, fifteen feet distant. He was not cut by the broken glass nor hurt in any way.-Wa Washington Star.

A Geor$ia Mule Mine,

Squire Spudler has just discovered an extensive bay mule mine on his farln near here. The squire was fishing dow n by the creek near where an old Indian mine was worked for mules, and he was attracted by a sound resembling the bray of mule coming from little cave in the bank of the stream. The squire commenced search and soon discovered the ears of mule protruding above the soft earth near the water. Work was az once commenced and several fine speci. mems were unearthed. The squire's son. in-law started with one fine specimen to a mineralosist's to have it assayed, but it bucked and jumped with him, and, after sending him off on voyage of dis covery toward the planet Saturn, went on grazing spree Tn the adjacent COW lot. It is believed that the mine will prove very profitable, and fodder and corn have advanced to fifty dollars per front foot.-Calhoun (Ga) Times.

IN THIS MONTHS issue of the Ameri- can Spectator, Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, deals quite extensively with the ques- tion of woman suffrage, and no more fiimsy excuse for argument than she uses could be put forth. The subject of her essay Centuries of Dishonor" is meant to apply to the condition of the women for the last two hundred years, and no one with fair mind and any knowledge of history would make the assertions that she does. We were taught to reverence the name of woman, and still respect her in all stations of life. In that teaching we were trained to believe that she was too good and pure to mix in the unpurifed vortex of politics and everyday affairs of life. However, such women as the writer of this essay, will attempt to make us for get all this, and look upon them as equals instead of superiors. We do not believe, however much she, and others of like ilk, may write, that the best women would care to come down from
 the exalted position, long held by them, and mingle in the contaminating in- auences that surround many of the most important walks of life. Mrs.
 Livermore says they will purify those things with which they come in contact, but experience teaches, that white may be soiled, though black can never be made white. There is, though in this world a class of disappointed women, who have become imbittered with their race, and they are chiefly the ones who advocate. the cause of woman suffrage.

 Syrup"

G. Gloger, Druggist, Watertown, Wis. This is the opinion of man who keeps a drug store, sells all medicines, comes in direct contact with the patients and their families, and knows better than anyone else how remedies sell, and what true merit they have. He hears of all the failures and successes, and can therefore judge: "I know of no medicine for Coughs, Sore T NNt
 or Hoarseness that had done such
 fective work in my Coughs, family as Boschee's cora rbro.+ German Syrup. Last
 winter lady called Hoarseness, at my store, who was
 suffering from a very severe cold. She could hardly talk, and I told her about German Syrup and that a few doses would give re- lief; but she had no confidence in patent medicines. I told her to take bottle, and if the results were not satisfactory Iwould make no charge for it. A few days after she called and paid for it, saying that she would never be without it in future as a few doses had given her relief" o
