THE sun AND THE STARS.

Astronomy Now Claim That the
Two Bodies Are About the Same,
Geatlcmens Magazine.
The sun is star and the stars are
suns. This fact has been familiar one
to astronomers for many years. That
the stars shine by their own inherent
light, and not by light reflected from
another body, like the planets of the
solar system, may he easily proved.
That many of them at least are very
similar to our own sun, is clearly shown
by several considerations.
Three facts prove this cOncIuSively.
First, their great intrinsic briliancy
compared with their small apparent di-
amster, diameter So small that the
highest powers Of the largest telescopes
fail to show them as anything but mere
points OF light without measurable mag
nitude. Second, their vast distance
from the earth, Il distance SO great that
the diameter of the earth'S orbit dwiu-
dies almost to 4 point in comparison.
This accounts satisfactorily for the FIRST
fact. Third. the SpPCtrOScOpe-tha uu-
errng instrument of modern research
shows that the hight emitted Uy many Of
them is very similar to that radlated by
the sun.
Their chemical and physical constitu-
ton is, therefore, probably analogous
to that of our central luminary. The
red stars certainty show spectra differ
inc considerably from the solar spec
trum, but these objects are COmpara-
lively rare. and may. perhaps, be con
Sdered as forming exceptions 10 thu
general rule.

GROVER AND THE DUCKS.

The office seekers will take notice

where Cleveland is Staying.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.
Ducks do not wait to hear the report
of Mr.. Cleveland's fowliug piece. They

President-elect Cleveland is duck

in practice before he receives another

Mr.. Cleveland has gone on shooting

he tells upon his return will determine

the return of Senator c. X. Davis. But
these papers carefully refrain from tell
ing the people the real facts. evidently
seeking to blind them by crying that it
is Democratic scheme to defeat the
Republicans. This is absurd. The fact
that the Republicans have the leglSla-
ture settles the politics of the next sem
ator. There is no doubt whatever that
the Democrats of Minnesota, being good
citizens and desirouS of promoting the
prosperity of the state, would prefer to
see some man chosen tOsucceed Senator
Davis who would more nearly represent
the people of this state on the issues OF
the day, and who has not killed himself
by radical acts in the past.
Senator Davis does not represent the
people of his state OH number of the
great issues of the day.
The people Of Minnesota do not favor
extending the debt of the Pacific rail
roads 100 years. Senator Davis does, land
his report as member of the senate
committee favOring such course has
led to the United States commissioner
of railroads, Ii. A. Taylor, making this
recommendation in his report. The
Rochester Record and Union crticiseS
Senator Davis scheme as follows:
The coolest performance of the season is
the plan devised for extending to 10J years
the time in which the Pacific railroads are TO
pay the United States what they owe. 1T IS
useless for the government says Mr.. Taylor
the commissioner of railroads. TO insist
upon terms of settlement that the railroad
companies Will not agree TO, and folly tor
the companies to agree 10 conditions not
warranted by their present financial condl-
tion or their future prospects" This is very
straieht-out talk; but we imagine that the
government might try the effect of little
insistance with good results.
The people of Minnesota believe with
eX-GOv. PiilSbuty that ''it was a great
mistake to raise the tariff on any arti-
cles even if the Blaine reciprocity idea
did in a measure counterbaance the
effect. The mass of people do not uu-
derstand the intricacieS OF the tariff;
they seeOnly the outside statements and
judge by them"
Senator Davis is a thorough McKin
ieyite, Il satellite of the Eastern tariff
baronS, ready ana willing to help raise
the tariff mOuntaln-high if his masters
desire it,
The Republicans of Minnesota gagree
with Gov. PillSbury again when he
says:
Il do not believe in the force bill.
Nothing can be done by that class Of
legislation"
Senator OK. Davis voted for the force
bill, and was ready to go to the length
of choking off debate to put it through.
There are many other reasons why
Mr.. Davis should not be returned TO the
senate. not the least of which is because
by his radicalism he has made the
Democrats hostile to him. on which
account his appropriation bills will be
likely TO fare poorly. Minnesota has
many wants in the way of national
legislation, and the right to have a col
league for Senator WaShburn as active,
capable and industrious as he is

PEARY AND THE POLE.

Since the utmost practical success
which Lieut.. Peary can achieve by.
another arctic expedition is safe re-

by a second venture is to be ascribed
only to an all-uevouring mania for

There were five or six of us on the

TOTALCONFED ERATE FORCES

The magazines have been fighting

REMEMBER IN CARVING THAT

Mrs Constant Carver in Good Housekeeping
Beef heart should be cut III thin slices
and served hot.
If there is any roe, part should be
placed on each plate.
A guest should say whether he prefers
the roast rare or well done.
Tongue must be cut very thin; the
central portions are the choicest.
The head pieces of all fish are con-
sidered the most delicate and desirable.
Great care must he exercised in the
carving of fish, to keep the flakes from
falling to pieces.
A haunch of venison should be carved
in slices down to the bone, from the
broad end upward.
A few drops of lemon juice and lit
tie pepper and salt improve the flavor
of mutton wonderfully.
Have plenty of room upon the platter
and in its vicinity; great many mis-
haps are thus prevented.
The sirloin of beef should be cut in
thin slices, portion of the upper part
and the tenderloin going on each plate.

Attorney General Clapp Would
Suit the Buffalo Gazette.
The Buffalo Gazette thinks that man
who defeated old Senator Ramsey by
bOlting party caucus, after being fairly
beaten, can not object to the same sort
of treatment if meted out to him. In
cidentally the Gazette pays Attorney
General Clapp high compliment. A
quotation follows:
Attorney General Clapp made a
speech at DelanO two years ago, and
was admired alike by Republicans and
Democrats tor the manly views taken.
He is spoken of as a man eminently
fitted for the place. His home is III the
northwestern part Of the state, which
would, in case he was chosen. give our
state better representation than it
could have with two men from st. Paul
and Minneapolis. the latter place al
ready sending Senator WaShburn. Sen
ator Davis is accused of having bOlted
a caucus once upon time himself,
consequently is not in position to eX-
pect everybody else to be better party
men than himself when Alexander
Ramsey was candidate.

SHALL ST. PAUL LOSE IT?

If st. Paul is not possessed of Suf-
ficient energy and public spirit to retain
IN her midst so important manufacture
ing plant as tie plow works, she de-
serves to see it removed to some more
enterprising point. The very fact that
there is such lively competition for this
plant is sufficient evidence of IFS i'm
portance and value to community, and
it certainly is no less valuable and i'm
p0rtant to St Paul than to the several
other cities so anxious 10 secure it. The
plow works gives steady employment to
an average number of over 200 men. and
in the past year its books showed Il
clear profit of above $4,000. Few of
the manufacturing industries of the
Northwest can make as good a showing,
dozen of the plants for which our local
organizations are struggling so credit
ably. st. Paul has more than one or
ganizatiOn devoted to securing the in
vestment of foreign capital in manufact-
uring in this city, and it has been their
policy to eXpend money in stocks and
sitessin the interest Of new enterprises.
Is it not as important to retain large
manufacturing concern as to secure a
new one? 1t is perhaps unnecessary to
pursue this subject further, however.
the Business Mems union is a substan-
tial organization, that understands its
own duties and responsibilities.

Our belated contemporary. the New
York Advertiser, is gradually work
ing toward the present day. 1t has
gotten as far as the declaration of Amer
ican independence i'll the eighteenth
century, and pauses there to emulate that
gallant knight Don QUIXoTE, in j0usting
with imaginary adverSaries, from wind
mills down. The particular windmill
which has stirred the Advertisers ire is
the Mecklenburg declaration, so-called
from the fact of its having been signed
In Mecklenburg county, North Carolina,
on May 81, IT'S. This declaration of the
independence OF the colonies was a
highly patriotic document, and ante
dated the Philadelphia declaration by a
year and month and four days; but
the Advertiser finds one einsurmountable
objection to it. 1t was signed south OF
Mason and DiXou's line. That simple
fact is enough to give it very
bad character in the eyes of our
Knickerb0ckeI contemporary. There
fore against the Mecklenburg dec
laration the Advertiser declares a
holy crusade, and sets out to prove
that to the North, to down-East
Yankeedom alone, belongs the credit of
shaking Off the shackles of tyranny and
establishing cur free and glorious re-
public.
The general public will have little
patience with dispute Of this kind. 1t
is deplorable enough to be perpetually
fighting the late Civil war over, without
going back to the Revolution to stir up
sectional strife. The South and the
North both fought noby for American
independence. To our Puritan and our
cavalier forefatherS alike belongs the
credit, and to attempt at this day to be
little the heroic services of either is in
wholly indefensibIe taste.

coming demise of the administration
by remarks Of feeling eulogium. AS
the assassins of the surplus have al

jury of the whole people, the inquest
will be merely for purposes OF corroO-

popular verdict that the deceased came
to Its death through Republican corrup-

Incidentally. also, the house will
cause our esteemed contemporary, the

enthusiastically Democratic journal
in the country for the next few
weeks, barring the sad euologies
which. as we intimated above, the
senate will feel constrained to address
to the morlbund administration. Judge
