AND THE BIBLE.
Astronomers can calculate bacl

Astronomers can calculate back
ward. AS they can foretell the
exact date of an eclipse or reckon
the return of a comet hundreds of
years from now, so they can turn
to the past and give the dates of
unusual appearances in the celes-
tial sphere hundreds Of years ago.
The time OF the birth Of Christ,
according to the Bible description,
is substantiated by astronomy, and
even infdel astronomers have been
compelled to testify that in about
the year 1 there was a very strange
unaccountable display among the
heavenly bodies. Relying upon
the strength of these facts, Lieut..
Totten, of Yale, is after Bob Inger-
soil, and the irreverent colonel will
have to get down from his lofty
peak of the Imagination and an
swer the hard, cold, stubborn facts
of astronomy and calculus. Bob
says that the sun never obeyed
Joshua nor did the moon rest over
the valley Of Ajalon. Totten says
that astronomy shows that josh
ua's day was forty seven hours and
twenty minutes and that the valley
of Ajalon was the exact place the
moon would have been in case the
revolution of the earth was ar
rested as Joshua prayed it should
be. He also says that Chinese,
Jewish and Grecian history all
give account of day of forty seven
hours and twenty minutes just
about that time. So, too, in the
prophecy Of Isaiah, in the book of
Kings, that the sun-dial of Heze-
kiah should be turned back ten
degrees or forty minutes. Totten
says that unless it was so the facts
of astronomy could not have ex-
listed. The eclipses of the sun
right on down from that time
show that there must have been a
day of forty.seven hours and
twenty minutes and that the dial
must have turned back forty min
utes to have made up the two days
complete. When it comes to as
tronomy Bob is not in it.

A REMARKABLE $40 WING.

The statement of the foreign
commerce of the United States for
the calendar year 1891, just issued
by the bureau of statistics, makes
the most remarkable showing for
the export trade in the history OF
the country. The December state
ment that completes the year is
the most favorable ever issued. In
that month the United States eX
ported merchandise to the value
of $119,932,532. This wonderful
total was never reached before.
1t was never approached, except
in the two preceding months Of
November and October, when the
figures, respectively, reached $11O,-
1O3,536 and $1O2,S77,243. Never
before October, 1891, did the value
OF exports reach the $100,O00,O00
mark. The total exports for the
last quarter of 1891 were thus
s332,913,311 a sum larger than
the value of the total of exports for
any entire year before 1870, with
two exceptions.
The exports for the full year
were $970,506, ,2S2, exceeding those
OF the banner year 1880 by over
$SO,OOO,OoO.
The showing of the trade bal
ances for the last quarter is as re-
markable as the export record.
The excess of exports over imports
in December was $5O,4S7,S77; in
November, $45,21s,235, and in
October, $36,040,7Os. This repre-
sents almost the trade balance for
the year, the total excess of ex-
ports over imports Of merchandise
for the twelve months being $142,-
1913, ,636.
In spite of the favorable balance
the year closed without bringing
back the gold that was sent over
in the spring. The gold exports
took altogether $79,OSS,312 of
gold, and in spite of the heavy
purchases of Europe from the
United States only $44,97O,11O
came back. That $34,11s,2O2 has
been kept by Europe in spite of
the balance of trade shows with
what desperation the statesmen
and financiers of the old world are
struggling to secure gold for the
future. To hold it the European
countries have sacrificed goods and
American securities held abroad to
a large amount.-San Francisco
Examiner.

No, the United States doesn't
amount to much. AS the London
Times says, we are set of brag-
ging blusterers; but yet few facts
are in order. For instance, III '91
the tonnage of the Detroit river, a
narrow little stream in the north
ern part of North America,
reached an aggregate exceeding
the tonnage of all the shipping of
London and Liverpool. The tom
mage of the Sault Ste Marie canal,
a little insignificant canal was
greater for six months of '91, than
the tonnage of the Suez canal for
the entire year. The value of the
cotton grown in seven of the forty
four states of the Union in '91 was
$400, 100000, exceeding the Brit
ish revenue from its most extensive
empire. The total manufactures of
this country for '91 was $1,75O,OOO
more in value than the manufact-
ures of Great Britain for the same
period. Brethren let us pray that
our minds may be disabused from
prejudice.-Ex.

The outlook for railway work
for 1892 is brighter than the out
look of year ago. One of the most
significant signs is that 100000
tons of new steel rails have al
ready been contracted for. This
amount alone is equivalent to
5000 miles of new track if laid only
on new lines. Much Of it will
doubtless be laid for renewals, but
contracts already out for 5000
miles of new rails before the be
ginlng of the year furnishes very
healthy indication for the prospect
both of the iron and steel and the
railway building industries during
the coming year.-Exchange.

has been supplied by Austria,

D1 VID 3. HILL.

1t would truly be a sad com.
mentary on our democratic, fed
eral government to have for it's
chief magistrate such a character
as David B. Hill. That man is
not the representative of prin-
ciples, but is the embodiment of
political filth and official corrup-
ton. Through his trickery and
demagogucry New York state has
been permanently secured to the
control-of the Tammany ring-a
ring, the leadership of which is
tainted with infamy and spotted
with crime.
Some one has suggested a COM
parison between Cleveland and
Hill. 1t is easy to make. The one,
like Blaine Harrison and McKin-
ley, though differing in political
ideas, is a statesman-Grover
Cleveland, an honest and sincere
man; the other is the true and
tried tool of the Tammany gang, a
shyster and dry-rot politician
David B. Hill, man not fit to
grace a senatorial seat. Is it posi-
BILE that the democratic party will
sustain such a leadership the COM
ing campaign? We think not. 1t
docs not seem possible.
