thing about the history of the planet
Mars.
Mars is the fourth planet in order of
distance from the sun. 1t is nearest to
the world on which we live of all the
great superior planets that make the solar
system. Mars travels around the sun in
a mean sidereal period of CSC. 9767 days,
on an orbit inclined one degree and
iifty-one minutes to the plane of the
ecliptic, at mean distance of 130, 81 900
miles from the sun.
This orbit is considered eccentric, in
somuch that its greatest distance, 1872,
3O4, 600 miles, exceeds its least, 1885,
31S,OOU, by more than 25, 900, COO miles.

An Unehristian System.

The Montrose Sentinel (Prohibi-
tion): 1t is worn out systems more
than individuals that are at fault.
Our financial system fosters monop-
oily and makes it easy for the strong
to trample upon the weak. Under
it the rich inevitably become richer,
and the poor poorer, and society is
rapidly merging into two classes,
the very rich and the very poor. The
whole competitive system is UNI
christian and compels men to spend
so much time in fighting each other
that they have little room left to cul-
tivate the christian graces- The
Prohibition party must give more at
tention than it has in the past, to the
planks in their platform which de-
mand reform in these directions, or
it will be compelled to step aside and
give place to a party that will give
them the attention they deserve.

The New Nation.
The civil war in miniature which
exists in Wyoming, and has already
led to the intervention of the Unit
ed States troops, is ominous Of the
increasing bitterness of the issue
between capitalism and the people.
In this fight ON one side are arrayed
the pioneers and settlers who are
seeking to homestead places on the
public lands. These are described
by the associated press dispatches as
"rustlers,' and representa- as bands
OF robbers. On the other hand are
the great cattlemen, who, without
right or title of any sort, insist Oh
keeping public lands waste for their
cattle-herds to range on, and en-
ploy gangs of armed mercenaries,
frontier "Piukertons," to drive out,
burn out, and kill out all would-be
settlers. That is the precise size
and shape of the issue, and as might
be expected, President Harrison and
the state authorities are on the
side of the cattlemen against the set
tiers.
Anybody who doubts the truth Of
this statement can satisfy his mind
by asking what is the verdict on the
merits of the case given by the news

which presumably know most about

OVer.PrOd uctiOn.

The only fair way to figure on
production is to take the amount
produced and divide it by the num-
Der of people it is intended to sup
ply, giving each person the amount
he should consume, according to
some established rule. Take the
United States army as basis, and
we'll bet money that the food sup
ply for the United States will not
more than feed it's people. Of course,
on the Chinese basis, we always
have, and perhaps always will have,
oter-production in America, for it is
said that Chinaman can live week
on pound of rice and one rat. Of
course, rice and rats cut the western
farmer out, because he cannot raise
rice, and rats are generally more de-
structive than profitable.
Then, there is the tramp, on
weekly hand-out, and the street
arab, on a crust and bone per day,
which forms another basis, where
again the consumption is not even
large enough to justify CORNER"
or an "option."
In fact, the spectators in food
products have not, as yet, deigned
to take any notice of the rat or
bone market as articles of food /; but
when they do-and they will some
time in the near future-rats, bones
and crusts will mark sharp advance
and will be the means of making a
few millionaires. But, any one can
see that there will be no Increase in
their consumption, since consump-
ton is already down to minimum
and we may remark here that it is
the settled policy of the spectators
and politicians to reduce the con-
sumption of all useful articles to the
lowest possible point and it is
probable that the over-production
howlers are figuring on rat or bone
basis-and a breeh clout basis for
clothing.
Certain it is that consumption can
be limited indefnitely-and the re-
verse is also true.
The consumption of Jay Gould
or Vanderbilt would keep fat
whole county of Cinnamon or street
arabs, and tramp could live out
half his days on one meal set at the
White House.

advantage of having four footed pet to

was remarkable for his punctuality in at

herds, which are habitual adherents of the
