as to the nature and iniQuities of the
bill the party that is now fastening to
enact it will be buried under an ava
lanche Of remonstrance at the next cleo
tiOn." The election of that fall showed
that the people were intensely aroused,
and the bill was most emphatically and
Indignantly protested against.
At that time the Republicans at
tempted to pass the bill, but, thanks to
few Independent and Farmers ALI
ance senators, the Democrats were en-
abled to defeat it. had hoped that the
Republicans would abandon so unjust
and uncalled-for scheme, but they man
ifeSt no Willingness to do so. 1t is true
that 1t was an open secret at the time OF
the pendency of the measure in congress
that Mr.. Blaine, the ableSt, ShrewdeSt
and most far-sighted politician of the
Republican party, doubted the wisdom
of its project, and deprecated the des-
perate efforts that were resOrted to in
aid of its enactment.
1t is believed the sentiments of this
able statesman have changed, because
in his recent letter (Mr. Blaine writes
letters nowadays. but makes no speech
for Mir. HarriSon) he advised his Re-
publican friends 10 only press two
issues in this campaign, which he spec
flied, but not one word did he express
in favor of the unfortunate force bill
issue. This omission is significant and
interesting. The Republican platform
virtually commits the party t. an APP
proVal of the bill.
Mr.. Harrison, in his very elaborate
and characteristic letter of acceptance,
avoided the issue, but nowhere does he
repudiate the measure which his party
press still vigorously sustain. The
issue is before the people. 1t must be
met and decided.

THE MOONS OF MARS.
This World Will Get a Fine Vie
of Its NeiCtbOr Very Soon.

This World Will Get a Fine View
of Its Neighbor Very Soon.
The moons of Mars were discovered a
few years ago through the telescope of
the naval observatory at Washington by
Prof. Asaph Hall. He will be actively
interested in the observations of that
planetand Its new-found satellites which
will be made in August next by astron-
omerS all over the world. Since the dis
cOvery of the moons in 1877, this is the
first opportunity afforded for eXamin
ing them, inasmuch as they are so small
as to be only perceptiDle at close range
Once in every fifteen years Mars reacne
it nearest point to the earth. Eight
weeks hence it will be within 81, 600, 900
miles of us, whereas its greatest dis
lance is 141 100000 miles. Great inter
est attaches to the matter, because this
sister world is so much like our own in
respect to its climatic and other condi-
tons that it may reasonably be sup
posed to be inhabited, perhaps by human
beings.
When the lover swears by the earth's
''incOnstan" satellite it never occurs
to him to consider that there are at
least twenty moons in the solar system.
Saturn alone has eight the biggest
twice the size of our moon.
and Jupiter possesses four, rang
ing in dimensions upward from ''Eu-
ropa," just about as large as the orb of
terrestrial night, to "Ganymede," great
est of all known moons. The latter has
diameter of $3.50 miles, whereas the
moon belonging to this world is only
2,l60 miles through.
But the most interesting of all moons
are the two that attend Mars, each about
sixty miles in diameter. That planet is
just half the size of the earth; its surface
is divided into continents and seas, haV-
ing as much land as water: it has an
atmosphere, clouds frequently conceal
ing its face, and seasons are about
the same as here, though the win
tiers are colder. Because one. of it's
moons travels around it three times as
fast as Mars itself turns, it appears to
rise in the west and set in the east,
while the other, really circlng in the
same direction at speed comparatively
slow, rises in the east and sets in the
west. Thus both moons are seen in
heavens at the same time, going oppos-
lite ways.
The most remarkable guess ON record
was made by Dean Swift, who, CEN
fury before the moons of Mars were
discovered, made CULVER say of the
astronomers of Laputa; "They have
found two satellites which revolve about
Mars, whereof the innermost is dis
tant from the planet exactly three
dlameters of the planet; the former re-
wolves in the space of ten hours and the
latter in twenty-one and half hours"
In fact, the inner moon is 10000 miles
from Mars whereas-the diameter of the
planet being 1000 miles-Gulliyer's
estimate would place it at $4,000
miles. For the outer moon he gives
10000 miles for the distance, which is
really $4,000 miles. The time of revolu-
ton of the inner moon is actually seven
and hall. hours, and for the outer one
thirty hours. Prof. Hall has named
these moons DEMOS and Phobos, after
the attendants of the god Mars, who are
mentioned IN Homer's "Iliad.''

FARMERS AND woRKINGMEN
Bear the Whole Burden OF McKin-
lcyisp.

They forced this bill upon the coun-
try, but in 1888 the popular vote re-
pudiated this system, and shouted their
disapproval in thunder tones in 1890.
How vast are the number OF people en-
gagged in various occupations who. if
their own selfish interests were alone to
be consulted. would be DESTROYS of be-
ing relieved from all tariffs because
they have nothing to be pro-
tected and prefer to purchase
everything as cheaply as possible.
Any sort of tariff is burden to them,
and, while they now cheerfully contrib
ute their share toward the support of
the government, their selfish interests
would be promoted by free trade, or at
least by some other method OF taxation.
The great mass of the laboring people
Of the country have nothing but labor to
sell. and labor is on the free list. Their
real interest lies i'll securing real wages
and purchasing everything they buy at
the cheapest price possible. and hence
any kind of a tariff is burden and
not benefit to them. The farmer
receives no benefit from this protective
system, because he must sell his prin
cipal productions in the great European
markets, where prices are fixed for the
world, while he must buy his supplies
i'll this country. where everything is
taxed to benefit some other occupation.
In other words. he sells in free trade
market and buys in a protected one,
thus gets the worst of the bargain iii
both instances.
Our opponents will tell US that the
tariff question was settled by the enact
ment of the Mckinley bill, and they de-
precate any agitation of the subject of
its repeal. Our answer is that no pub
lie question can be deemed settled in
this country until it has been rightly
settled. 1t is true that a Republican
senate at present blocks the door to all
reform in this direction. Time will
change the senate if it refuses to re-
spect the popular will.
Our opponents have always depre
Gated discussion of the tariff subject.
When the people ten years ago were
demanding relief from war taxes in
time of peace, the Republicans urged
that any change would disturb the busl-
ness interests of the country, and
should be. prevented. When, latter,
the treasury, which was still rapid in
accumulation, there was the same re-
fusal to alter the situation. They
wanted the. tariff taxes let alone for
the benefit of those benefciaries who
were accommodating enormous fortunes
at the expense of The people. The move
ment cannot be stopped until tariff re-
form shall be triumphant.
Mr.. Biaine's reciprocity scheme is in
adequate TO furnish the relief the people
seek. That free trade with a few in
significant products will add to the
commerce with all great European pow
ers will not he accepted as solution of
the question. 1t is merely ''mackerel
thrown to whale" to stop the progress

NEW ORLEANS, La. Sept. 24.-There
is great excitement tonight III Olympic
club circles caused by the action of the
board of directors at, their last meeting
in voting themselves 6,75O for serv-
ices rendered in arranging and
conducting the last three glove
contests. There are eleven members
of the board, and the motion to pay
themselves the money was adopted by

tually in the hands OF the board of
directors. The meetings of the board
are always secret, and the members of
the club claim that they seldom learn
anything of the proceedings.
President Noel said that the success
of the institution was due to the efforts
of himself, Mr.. Sporo and others of the
board, and that if the majority were
dissatisfied with the present officers
they could elect new ones. An informal
meeting of the stockholders will be held
at the club house Monday evening to
discuss the matter.

Out in Nebraska They Like to
Cling to Their Old Ways.
Omaha World-Herald.
There was time not so very long ago
when the nice young woman had ac
cOmplishments. She painted and she
played the piano, and perhaps she re-
cited a little. She had various devices
for amusing her friends in the evening.
And it must be confessed that out
here in the West we still have young
women who do all these things well.
But in New York, SO we are informed
on good authority, it is not the thing to
indulge in such pleasant amusements.
1t is supposed to SAVIOR too much of the
shop. Piano playing is left for the
music teachers, and singing for the pro-
fessionals and painting for artists.
There is an idea abroad that it is not
good form to understand art, any more
than it is good form to understand dish
washing. This is unfortunate.
We are glad to say that in Nebraska
there is hardly farmhouse without its
organ il the farmer is prosperous. And
in the cities even the most modest
houses have some sort of musical in
strument, while in the finer houses the
piano stands open and is used.
We still like musical festivals. Each
town has its musical society. All this
may be provincial, but, all the same, we
would rather have our music and our
provlncialism than New York'S fashion
and decOrum.

MENACEs OUR EXISTENCE.
Powerful Denunciation Of the In
i0uitouS Bill.


have read in detail the proliX and
preposterous provisions of the Daven-
port bill, and speak not as partisan,
but as an American citizen, jealous of
the liberty which my country's institu-
tons secure for me and devoted to the
preservation of the simplicity of her
governmental system, when | denounce
this measure as dangerous exercise
of constitutional authority, menace
to our theory of justice and
an insult to the people of
the states. 1t is an arbitrary act of
despotsm justified by no precedent,
made necessary by no political condi-
ton, but put forward solely to insure
Republican control for congress.
Like many other partisan conspiracies
the Davenport bill is proposed in the
name of reform, and its defenders pre-
tend to find warrant for it in the pro-
vision of the constitution which declares
the times, place and manner OF holding
elections for senators shall be made in
every state by the legislature thereof,
but congress may at any time by law
make or alter such regulations. except
as to the places of choosing senators.
For 100 years this provision has re-
NAMED III our organic law, and no con-
gress has been bold enough TO exercise
the undoubted right which its terms
give under certain extraordinary cir
cumstances to attack state executive
laws and place virtually the entire con-
troll OF the elections in the hands of
federal supervisors. No congress has
been bold enough to exercise it because
a great emergency for which it was
designed has never arisen. and no con-
gress has been able to place any other
construction uponits meaning than that
put by the convention which framed and
the people which ratified it. 1t was a
wise provision, for it enabled the federal
government to guard against its own
dissolution by the refusal of state, or
combination of states, to elect repre-
SentativeS, and this was the only con-
tlngency which its defenders pleaded
for its exercise.
When James Monroe, in the Virginia
convention, asked Madison why con-
gresS had been given this ultimate con-
troll over the time, place and manner of
elections, the latter replied that if cleo
tons were exclusively under the con-
troll Of the state governments, the fed
eral government might easily he dis

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 24.-Application
for the extradition of Willard K. Winner
has been made to Gov. Francis for his
removal to Philadelphia to answer an
indictment for obtaining money under
false pretenses. The indictment
was found nearly year ago on infor-
nation furnished by James B. Nc
Camant, of POttstown, Pa. The COM
plant alleged that Winner induced him
to invest in the North Side Construction
Company of Kansas City and the bonds
of the Chicago, Kansas City 81 Texas
Railway company. This occurred in 1890.
just as the big boom began to taper
off. McCamant was shy OF Western in
vestments at that time, and had Winner
send him statement of the condition
of the companies and their prospects.
This statement Mr.. McCamant pre-
served. From it one could easily i'm
agine that money grew on the trees in
Winners additions and plated suburbs.
The railroad company, he wrote to Mr..
McCamant, was fully constructed and
was paying dividends. McCamant af-
firms that Winners statement concern
lng the construction company was I'M
qualihedly false. The railroad is only
twelve miles long. and never paid
dividend. Gov. Francis will pass shortly
