Clarence King, the well-known geolo-

The observatory method OF determ-

The observer turns to his catalogue OF
stars, and chooses one for his observa-
ton, the catalogue giving him the
time TO the hundredth Of a second) at
which that star will be on his meri-
dian; he then turns to the telescope,
and ut the instant the star crosses the
meridian records the time indicated
by the clock. The catalogue gives the
true time of passage, and unless the
clock gives the same it is in error.
Polygonum sakhalioe is the name of
a forest plant from the island OF Sakha-
lien, Japan, of which fattering ac-
counts are given by NJ. Doumet Adam
son, who has cultivated few stools of
it in France. He got it as an orns-
mental plant, and it is really very
very handsome. 1t grows to be about
six feet high in three weeks; produces
q considerable foliage of which cattle
are fond; and yields q good second
crop after the first cutting. A section
of root planted will produce a stool
covering square meter of surface. It
takes care of itself.

IF YOU DARE.

Republicans fought for an IRON
clad force bill and fought to keep
the weaker Federal elections law
they already had.
In their speeches some senators
on that side have said that the
control of Federal elections was
more important than the tariff and
currency questions.
Then let them make it the lead
ing issue of the campaign this fall.
If the force bill is s. high and
holy that even precious tariff
shines paIlidly beside it, the party
which so believes should certainly
cry aloud for the cause from every
stump.
A force bill campaign has nev, r
been fought except IN congress.

THE LoOGE-REE0 TRICK.
Republicans Tricksters Engaging In Some
of Their Sly Work.

Republicans Tricksters Engaging In Some
of Their Sly Work.
Republicans profess the utmost con-
fidence in their ability to elect the
next congress and the next president
They say the people have changed
front on the only issue that divides
parties in national elections
But do they believe anything of the
kind? If SO, why are they shutting
for new issue? What is the meaning
of the Lodge-Reed silver iuggle if the
republican leaders really believe they
can carry the country on the issue of
tariff?
In all the history of politics there
was never a palmer case of playing
to the gallery" than this Neither
Lodge nor Reed for one moment i'm
AGNES that the suggested policy of in
stituting a general commercial war on
Europe is one seriously to be contem-
plated. Neither of them is fool enough
to suppose that such policy would &C
complish its avowed purpose. Neither
supposes that any European country
could be forced by discriminating du-
ties to accept silver coinsge where
now they reject it.
But both of them are demagogues,
and are willing to throw common
sense and conscience to the winds in
an appeal to what is least civilized in
popular sentiment If by that means
they can bring passion and ignorant
prejudice to their party's aid.
Both of them know that their pro-
gramme If enacted into law would
bring loss and perhaps even calamity
to the country's business Both know
that it never could be enacted into
law. Both know that they do not
themselves intend or wish its enact
ment. They put it forward rs q lure
for votes, trick with which to deceive
and mislead the people.
And they do this because they have
no real faith in republican ability to
carry the. country upon existing is
sues. They do not believe that the
people want to go on paying double
prices for their clothes and submitting
to heavy taxes on all their other nee
essaries of life for the enrichment of
the trusts. They do not see success
for their party, allied as it is with
every oppressive monopoly, in a con-
test in which that issue is made clear
and distinct. They want to throw
dust in the eyes of the people They
want to change the issue.
If the democratic congress is wise
the kind It can force the fighting
on its own ground and make the cam
paigns of 1894 and 1896 squa.-ely upon
the issue of lower taxes and an equal
chance for all the people.

Although the subject of the tariff
has been uppermost in the minds of
the statesmen of this country during
the past fourteen years; although it is
to-day the leading topic of discussion
by the politicians in the various states;
and although it is the subject concern
ing which there is most discussion by
the plain people of the republic in
every neighborhood; it is yet but little
understood by the country for the rea-
son that it is a matter requiring study,
research, scholarship and ripe judg-
ment.

-one of the most PROLONGED howl.

One of the most prolonged bowls
that has been raised against President
Cleveiand's administration has been
his alleged slowness in filling the
Offices From the departmental figures
it appears that Mr.. Cleveland has made
in the first year of his official tenure
just twenty-five more presidential ap-
pointments than Benjamin Harrison
did in his first year. OF the fourth
class postmasterships the present adj
ministration has averaged 33t more ap-
pointments every month than Clark
son, the headsman, was responsible
for. The difference between the APP
pointments of Cleveland and Harrison
is that the former have been made
properly and with due respect for fit
ness, while the latter were only to ST.
lence clamorings and help the ice
wagon So it appears that the howl
ing has been done largely by disap-
pointed aspirants. whose real griev-
ance was their own forsaken and cur
tailed condition City Times

Democratic Policy on Sugar.

There is reasonable ground for difference of
opinion among democrats as to whether any
duty upon sugar should be placed in our tariff
bill or not. It has always been cc;ltended by
those who have been leaders In the great tariff
reform movements in this country that OF all
the articles yielding large revenue, sugar
the one article upon which an ideal democratic
revenue tarin could be placed There would be
substantial agreement. 1 think with that posi-
tioa to-day In the democratic party except
for the fact that the trainers o: the
