The Handwriting on ihs Wall.

Even leading Democratic papers are now
forced to admit. that, under the administra-
ton of President Cleveland the Democratic
party has been rapidly disintegrating. The
unbroken succession of Republican victories
express the opinion of the voters of this
country upon the Democratic manag ement
Of public affairs with an emphasis that is
not to be misunderstood. Even that staunch
old Democratic organ, the Boston Herald
feels constrained to remark that
The sweeping Republican victories at
the city and town elections in Oaio and
Michigan look very Ike landslide, which
in its fuller development, will bury the
Democrats under an adverse majority at
the congressional elections in November.
II will surely do 80 unless the Democratic
leaders in Congress can mirage 70 retain,
at least in part, the confidence of the busi-
ness voters of the country, which they have
forfeited y their inc Impotence AMI folly
The New York Sun states an important
truth when it says
The map of the late Democratic reverses

A COMET COMING.
Splendid Traveller Due to Come Within
 Human Vision in 1911.

Splendid Traveller Due to Come Within
 Human Vision in 1911.
 Halley's comet is coming back, the comet which in the year 1866 shed celestial splendor over the Norman conquest and whose terror-inspiring visit was eommemorated by the hand ai Queen Matilda in the Bayeux tapes try; the comet that in 1456, the year of the battle of Belgrade, scared the Turk and Christian alike and was anathema- Gzed by a bull from the pope; the comet whose strange scimetar form still chilled the marrow of the ignorant and superstitious at its latest return in 1885,
 It is yet far away, says the Chicago Times, but the eye of, science sees it, already within the orbit of Neptune, rushing sunward and earthward with constantly increasing velocity as it falls along the steep curve of it's orbit And call to arms, call for prepara- tion, has just been issued from one of the chief watch towers of astronomy. Prof. Glasenapp announces that the computing bureau established by the Russian Astronomical society has un- dertaken the calculation of the true path of Halley's comet with a view to predicting the exact date of the next return. He hopes that astronomers ac- quainted with unpublished observa- tions of the comet will communicate the information to the society.
 After its perihelion the comet was watched retreating out into space until May, 1886, when it was finally swal- lowed from sight. It will be in peri helion again about 1911, but with the great telescopes now in existence and the greater ones that may then have been constructed it is probable that the comet will be detected coming sun ward a year or more earlier than that The fact that the labor of computing the precise time of it's return is already about to begin gives assurance that the next time it will not be question of how many days but rather of how many hours or even minutes the calculations will be in error.
