his own experience should have taught

ally think the administration of demo-
cratic principles and policies would be
safer in democratic than, in republican

should be entrusted to such hands, and

The astronomers who are claiming that the
comet lately discovered By Professor Holmes
is the same rs Bicla's comet are making an
assertion for which there is no present basis.
The actual size and orbit of the comet is still
n more matter of conjecture, for SO Professor
Poor states, it takes months observation OF
Il comet to accurately determine these two
points Therefore, the representations oil all
carly contract between the earth and THIS
body are prophecies for which no grounds can
be given. In fact the only reason for mag
ming that the comet has been approaching
nearer the earth is that it has grown to the
eye larrer in size, but waether, i'll continuing
on its orbit it will reach our planet is qucS-
ton which can be answered in the negative.
so far as the immediate present is concerned,
for its distance from us now is tens OF thou
sands of miles, and ii should strike us, which
is by no means probable, it will be il ages 10
come.
The comet when first seen was about one
twentieth the diameter of the moon. When
last clearly seen. it was four times Us large.
This, as has been stated. is the sole ground
now known for believing approaching the
earth.
With a good glass you may see the comet
by observing these directions: The point
radiant of the comet is a little west OF star
in the constellation of Andromeda, and its
path is toward the constellation If the Cen
taur or nnarlv f"c:li north to south. almost at
a right angle with the earth path abound the
sun To find Andromeda look to zenith Tex
actly overhead at 10 p. m. then turn your
eyes west of north from zenith short dis
lance after 10 o'clock look little east Of
north.
The comet was first discovered November
9th by Professor Holmes, but the atmosphere,
has been too hazy, and the comet, therefore,
too indistinct to make any accurate determi-
nation as to its position, and all statements as
to its movement seem to be pure guess work.
A dispatch from Princeton last night says
THE comet now visible near the nebula of
Andromeda. instead of approaching the earth,
is. in all probability, receding from it, said.
Professor Young: and, furthermore, accord
ing to the latest data, it is not fragment of
Biela's comet, as earlier data had led many as
tronomers to suppose"

Though the international monetary
conference has just commenced, it has
already become apparent that its pro
ceedings will have no practical effect.
This is by no means surprising. On the
contrary, it is nothing more than was
expected by all familiar with the mat
ter. There can only be one standard
of money, and as gold has been estab-
lished as that standard in all the quoted
markets of the world, the desire OF some
people in this country for double
standard cannot be gratilied. But they
have put the government to Il good
deal of unnecessary cost in providing
salaries and travelling expenses for com
missioners TO Brussels.

Ii is said that Bishop Whittle's de
termination to remain bishop of the old
diocese will be followed by the an
nouncement to the Council that Bishop
Randolph will assume the Episcopatc
of the new diocese. As to an assistant
for Bishop Whittle, nothing is settled,

be asked for by him the Council of the
diocese will have the election of the

He completed his feat in exactly forty

steak which he ate as if he had only
taken the oysters as an appetizer.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The comet
has lost two attributes which make it
an object of great popular interest. 1T
is moving further away from the earth
and losing its brightness rapidly" said
Professor Eees, of Colum bia College,
to-day, 'and there is no danger of its
coming in collision with our earth and
creating sensation, unless, through
some unforeseen influences, its orbit is
changed. Other astronomers declare
that the comet is coming toward the
earth and thai it may be so close on
Saturday or Sunday night as to cause a
fine meteoric display. All the astron-
omers agree that if the comet should
happen to collide with us there would
be no metcrial disturbance, and all
that we can expect is a brllliancy of the
heavens and an exhibition of shooting
stars.u

FOOTBALL CLOSES A CHURCH. The
interest in the regular Thanksgiving
Day football games, in New York, has
resulted in the closing of one church
there, the West Presbyterian, of which
DR.. Paxton is pastor. Jay Gould goes
to this church, and has usually offered
up his thanksgiving prayers there. But
the church will be closed Thursday,
the reason being that so many people
were interested in the football games
that no sort Of sermon would draw
them to church. The experience of
other clergymen there is that there is
more interest in the football score than
in the scheme of salvation and the way
TO heaven.
