A Side Wipe.

We learn incidentally from the para
graph below what that astronomical ro-
mancer, Camille Flammarion, thinks of
newspapers. In his mathematical novel,
Omega" begun in The Cosmopolitan,
he predicts what would happen to the
earth if a great comet should strike it.
The time of his story is the twenty
fourth century. All the astronomers of
the globe could communicate with one
another in an instant, and the main OBJ
servatory was in the Himalaya noun
tains. Mankind travelled whittier they
would by airships, and every house had
its own telescope. Plain working people
were intelligent in the sciences of the
stars. 1t was one of these who discov-
cred the comet that it was feared would
destroy the earth. The comet grew
larger and larger. Calculations were
made where it would hit.
If comet of the size of the one in
question should hit our earth, then earth
and comet together would explode and
burn up in fragments. If, however, in
stead of striking our world it went into
Jupiter, it would raise the temperature
of that planet so immensely that Jupiter
would become a second sun, warming
and lighting the earth by night. At
length what was the CONSERVATION of the
twenty-fourth century people to discover
that this monstrous comet was coming
straight to the earth head onl All the
astronomers in various quarters agreed
on this. What the twentyfourth cen
tury newspapers did Flammarion tells
us thus;
The daily papers sowed broadcast this alarm.
ing news, embellished with sinister comments
and numberless interviews in which the most
astonishing statements were attributed to sci
entists. Their only concern was to outdo the
ascertained facts and to exaggerate their bear
ing by more or less fanciful additions. As fol
that matter, the journals of the world haC
long since become purely business enterprises
The sole preoccupation of each was to sell ev.
cry day the largest possible number of copies
They invented false news, travested the truth
dishonored men and women, spread scandal
lied without shame, explained the devices OF
thieves and murderers, published the formula
of recently invented explosives, imperiled theii
own readers and betrayed every class of soci
ETY. for the sole purpose Of exciting to the high
est pitch the curiosity of the public and Of "sel
ing copies"

Agricultural Depression.

In this century the price of wheat has
not ruled so low as it has done this
spring. Cotton was down to the bottom
last year, although it is little better at
present. Petroleum and corn are alike
depressed in price. All the raw prod
ucts which America ships abroad share
the same fate. The feeling of dullness
in agricultural circles is only relieved by
the upward tendency of the beef and
pork market. If farmers had now only
as much value in fat beeves and hogs as
they had excess of wheat last fall, they
would be collectively better off by many
hundred thousand dollars than they are.
The low price Of grain and petroleum
is due, economists say, to overproduc-
ton. Russia is our most formidable COM
petitor in petroleum, not to speak of the
vast wheatfields which she pits against
ours. Hungarian wheat is considered in
European markets of superior quality to
ours. Egypt and India pour the wheat
which their low priced labor has pro-
duced into the European market. Ameri-
can elevators are Still gorged with wheat
awaiting sale. Enough of it will un-
doubtedly be consumed during the
Worlds fair to make an impression on
this store. Undoubtedly too, in another
generation our population will have
grown to near the line of the country's s
wheat producing capacity.
But meantime the remedy is for farm
ers not to raise so much wheat and corn
This country is varied enough in climate
and soil to grow almost anything that
will grow. If the agricultural expert
ment stations do not teach farmers how
to vary production and make land pay,
they will not be worth the money they
cost. When everybody raises potatoes,
all the world gets sick of potatoes. The
way out of the present agricultural stag
nation is in varied production, and ii
ought not to take more than two years
to get out. If farmers will use their
brains and intelligence, every man can
decide for himself on something that
will help him out.

Died In n Strange Lane.

During the Barnum & Bailey circus
parade Saturday morning a pretty Ital-
ian girl, Celeste Chlesa, appeared on one
of the floats as Chinese woman. She
was dressed in rose colored tights and
very thin clothing covered the upper
part of her body. Celeste was only 10
years old. She was much pleased with
her exalted position and scattered smiles
all along the route until as the process
sion neared the close of it's journey the
chill wind began to pierce her frail form.
She shivered like an aspen leaf. Return
ing to the Garden she complained of Sc
we're pains in her chest, but stuck brave
ly to her work and filed her part as a
ballet dancer in the spectacle of "Colum-
bus and the Discovery of America"
She grew worse as the evening wore
on and was taken home by Tody Ham
ilton in hack to the humble apartments
at 226 Thompson street, where she
roomed with several other members OF
the troop. She suffered intensely dur
ing the night and died next day of pneu
monia before physician could be sum-
moned. She came here three weeks age
on the Paris with Kiralfy's corpsof dan
GERS. Her home was in Turin. She had
no friends in this city.-New York Ad-

Asking Amnesty of Altgeld.

AT recent meeting of the Chicago
Trade and Labor assembly George Schil-
ling read an open letter to Governor Alt
geld in reference to the Amnesty associa-
ton of Illinois, which, incorporated in a
resolution asking immediate action, was
passed. The letter, after asking calm
and dispassionate judgment, says:
We also wish to call your attention to the fact
that the years of 1885 and 1886 were years OF
great turmoil in the labor world. Strikes and
lockouts were the order of the day, in the heat
OF which, no doubt, many mistakes were made
by both employer and employed. Ii the bomb
which exploded on the Haymarket 'shook the
world out of its dream of safety" we must also
remember that the balls fired from the rifles in
tne hands OF Flnkertons sent many worker to
MS doom wt'.-eut redress, thereby engendering
feelings Of bitterness that were impossible to
avoid.
1t is now more than six years since that fate
ful tragedy, and our people have had time for a
sober second thought, and are, therefore, more
