THERE IS no apparent reason why

THERE IS no apparent reason why
Virginia voters should not have as
much common sense as those OF any
other State; but it really seems that
such of them as intend to vote for the
populist Congressional candidates next
Tuesday are sadly lacking in that re-
ouisite and necessary quality of success.
All of them formerly belonged to the
democratic party, and as the principles
of that party are certainly more in &C
cord with their ideas than those of the
republican party, as the latter party, II
again dominant, will re-enact the Nc
Kinley, and pass the Force bill, and
az the candidates of their party cannot
possibly be elected, why they should
throw their votes away on them and
thereby render possible the election OF
those of the republicans, cannot be ex-
planned on grounds compatible with
the possession of ordinary understand
ing. If they think the Force bill and a
high tax OIL the necessaries OF life con-
ducive to their interests, they should
vote the straight republican ticket. and
then their intelligence would not be
questioned, but their present intention
is evidently well calculated to impusD
their reputation in respect of that
quality.

THE TRANSIT OF MERCURY.-One OF
the earth's sister planets, Mercury, the
smallest of them all-not counting the
asteroids-will be seen crossing the
suns disc in the form of round black
dot on Saturday, November 10. This
phenomenon is called transit of Mer-
curry, and it will be carefully watched
by astronomers in all parts of America
and western Europe.
The transit will begin about five min
utes before II o'clock in the forenoon,
Eastern standard time, and will end
about twelve minutes after 4. Mercury
will first be seen with the aid of tele.
scope, looking like notch in the east
crn edge of the sun.
AS it advances its entire circular disc
will appear intensely black against the
brilliant back ground. Slowly it will
cross the sun, considerably north of the
centre, and will finally pass off the
northwestern edge. disappearing from
human ken until week or ten days
later, when it will reappear as morn
ing star, rising just before the sun.
This transit of Mercury will be the
last for the nineteenth century. The
total number of such transits during the
century will then have been Is. The
transits always occur within two or
three days of the 9TH of May or the 9th
of November.-Youth's Companion.

performances as compared with demo

wise men of the democratic party adj
vised and urged the President to con-
vene Congress Immediately after his in
auguration, in order that the pledges
upon which he had been elected might

perfidy, the less said the better for the
