The r.rth TO nc ike the moon.

The water of the earth is all destined
to disappear from the surface Of the
globe by being absorbed by subterranean
rocks, with which it will form chemical
combinations. The heavenly spheres
exhibit sufficiently striking examples Of
such an evolution. The planet Mars
shows what will become of the earth
in some thousands Of centuries. Its seas
are only shallow Mediterraneans OF less
surface than the continents, and these
do not appear to be very high; and in
the appearance OF the moon, all cracked
and dried up, we have view of the
final state of the earth-for the absorp-
tion of the water by tho solid nucleus
will be followed by that of the atmos-

The Modern Way.

In India they drown great many Of
the girl babies. It is a time honored
custom, but not universally approved
from therapeutic standpoint. In civ
ilized countries they put corsets on the
girl babies, which brings about the same
results, without the shock, which is q
sure concomitant Of the Indian method
Moreover, babies last longer under the
modern system, and 1t is especially
priced by people who prefer to keep
their girl babies for few brief years..

Christ is Risen.

There are seven memorial days
which mark the principal events in the
history of the coming of the Savior. The
first is Advent. which begins the chris
tisn year, and reminds us of Christ's
birth, or His coming into this world.
Christmas, in memory, of Christ's BIRTH
day. Epiphany, applied to the festival
observed in commemoratiOn of the
Lords, manifestation to the wise
men of the east, the representatives
Of the Gentle world. Lent. so called
fromthe old English Lenten or spring,
observed in the springtide of the year as
q season Of special meditation on Christ
in His humiliation. Easter. on which
ChristSs triumphal rising from the grave
is commemorated. Ascension, 40 days
after Easter, in memory of Christ's as
cension into heaven, and Pentacost or
Whitsunday, the spiritual birthday of the
Christian church.
or all these, Easter is the most gener
ally observed. The custom OF Easter
services is not confined to any creed, sect
or branch, but all churches observe it to
greater or less degree. No church is
so poor and obscure but it can hang up
some foliage, place u pot of flowers on
the pulpit and sing sp propriste music.
Easter in Rock Island is one of the big
days OF the year. Every church observes it
and the services grow more, elabora tie
each year. Rock Island will bear witness
to this fact tomorrow.

same as gold is regarded-a thing the silver
men are anxious to inculcate into the public.
Silver Men Prepared to Figh..
The silver men are prepared to fight the
report Of the majority of the subcommittee,
and when the general committee gets to
work on the platform it is likely
that the greatest efforts of the silver
men will be made. They have held
number of conferences for
the purpose of preparing free
coinage plank for submission to the COM
mittee. In some respects it is novel, as it
involves limitation, (of course not legally
but as a party declaration) on the exercise
of the Presidential veto so far as the cur
rency question is concerned. This plank pro-
poses to declare that the Republican party is
in favor of bi-metallism on the present ratio,
or such other ratio as may be agreed upon,
and is then coupled with clause, carefully
drawn, but amounting in effect to state
ment that the determination of the extent
to which the United States will go in silver
coinage is question which should be left
to legislative determination, the implica-
tion, of course, being that it is not matter
for the Executive.

couraging gain was made by postponement,
and they are disposed not to force the or
ganization lest such action be construed a.
an evidence of weakening on their part.
The Blaine people apparently accom-
plished their purpose OF delay In twice
securing the postponement Oh dennlte
action by the Committee on Creden-
tials. The committee is making
slow progress with It's WORK.
There seems to be no special haste In pro
ceeding with the contested cases anu the
hall outside the National Committee rooms
is thronged with about three-score OF men
who want to know whether they will have
seats in the convention or not.
The committee met Immediately after the
adjournment of the convention this MORN
ing, pursuant to the direction of the con-
vention, and organized. A poll OF
the committee would indicate that
the Blaine men are in the majority
and control affairs, though the Chairman
selected is General Cogswell, of Massachu-
sets, one of the stanchest of Harrison
men. After getting organized the COM
mittee concluded to adjourn to
meet at 4 o'clock the same place,
room underneath the convention
hall and not very well adopted for the pur-
pose. 1t had the advantage, however, of
being quiet. which certainly cannot be
said of the National Committee room.
Governor Yarmouth, of Louisiana, and
his followers in Louisiana, and the Lynch
faction in Mississippi, both of which dele
cations were left off the temporary roll,
were present in some force as well as
also some of the other interested
parties. The committee assembled at
the appointed hour but the only result was
a decision to adjourn again to meet at the
National Committee Headquarters uptown.
Mr. Yarmouth did not like the conclusion
to adjourn again to the National COMMITTEES
rooms, evidently fearing that it boded no
good to his contest.
AT o'clock the committee reassembled,
but if it continues to progress at the same
rate at which it went ahead for the
first two hours, several days at least
will elapse before the numerous contests
before the committee are settled and the
permanent roll made up. At 10 o'clock to-
night the first contest had not vet been taken
up, and all that had been accomplished was
to make up the roll of the delegates in
districts. The probabilities
are that with possible exception or two,
the decision of the National COMMITTEES
in these contests will be affirmed in the
Committee on Credentials. Soon after
10 o'clock the committee decided to ad-
lourn until $50 A. NJ. The adjournment
was looked upon as an evidence of the
standing of the committee, as the Harrison
men as rule wanted to continue in session.
