In Collision with the Earth

Prof. Falb, OF Berlin, prophesies
a very probable collision between the
earth and comet Of 1865 on Novem-

every year at that time. Bat he
doss not think harm could come of
such collision, the material of the
comet being so light, unless the car
Donate acid gas, of which it is pro
badly com mposed, should poison eur
atmosphere. But he says there will
be magnificent shower of meteors
on that date.

THE VALUE OF RECOUNTS.

The provision in law which permits a
defeated candidate to take the ballots into
court under conditions which render fraud
absolutely impossible has a value apart
from it's direct results. The fact that re-
count may be demanded without doubt
serves to prevent false counting. While a
recount may not change a result as an
nounced. it may show that fraud has been
committed and point out by whom. Men
may be hired to perpeuate frauds when
the difficulties in the way of detection
justify them, in their minds. in taking the
chances, but when the chances of detec-
ton are increased they become more wary
and perhaps higher priced. There is evil
dence enough of fraud in the last election
TO warrant a recount in at least one case
II for no other purpose than TO bring the
ballots into court. The proposed State re-
count rests on different basis. 1t is not
judicial proceeding and loses much of its
value in the fact that the Legislature
which will pass upon questions arising
under It is partisan body. A decision
gained for the majority by partisan con-
struction of errors would do more injury
10 the dominant party than dozen good
Republican Governors could repair.

Moons Phases.
NOVEMBER "a, 1894
SATURDAY
THE BALLOT LAW.

Party bosses and their newspaper organs
are not yet reconciled to the new ballot
law. They discuss imperfections in the
methods of counting as if they were in
tegral parts of the system. But these
methods, so far as they have been found
defective, may be changed without in the
least impairing the fundamental provisions
of the law. The official ballot can doubt
less be arranged so as TO facilitate voting.
The several tickets should be so arranged
on the blanket ballot that at the voters
option single cross would count IS a vote
for each candidate on the ticket. Under
any new charter that may be adopted it is
proba bic that the number of candidates
will be considerabl reduced. The placing
of candidates on each party ticket in one
column would do away with the trick in
counting which offsets genuine vote by
cross made against an opponent in the
process of counting. Whatever may be
done TO prevent mistakes in voting and
frauds in counting the main feature of
the law should be observed. Even with
ali its existing imperfections tcomes nearer
expressing the will Of the people than the
old system. which allowed person inter.
ested TO know just how each voter voted.

THE MULE TEAMS AT WORK.

The officials of the Southern Pacific
doubtless feel relieved at the announce
ment that the mule team which arrived at
San Jose on Thursday is not yet organ
lied as permanent means of competition.
1t is said to be not certain that it has
taken on the character of an experiment
The mules we're coming TO San Francisco
anyway, aud, as they are used to hauling
something, it was arranged that thew
should haul dried fruit. This single team
may. however, serve to show that South
ern Pacific rates are high enough to make
a recourse 20 old-time methods a possible
measure Of relief. This is showing that
great railroad company can hardly con-
template with equantmity. Nothing more
conclusive in the way OF figures would be
required by an honest legislator as rea-
son for vote against the refunding bill.
A company that monopolizes for its own
benefit all the cheapening processes science
has devised in half a century that apply to
It's own department of industry should be
called to an accounting with as little del ay
as possible.

bottom of the conspiracy he thought there
might be something in it.; but when he
had traced the fermentation to Its source
his apprehensions were speedily dissi-
pated. The person who appeared at the
pump-handle was so insignificant in every
way that the relief experienced was
doubtless tinged with chagrin. A ruler
who fails to discover conspiracies which
do exist is little more ridiculous than
ruler who discovers conspIracies that do
not exist. But President Dole, with his
usual good sense. quietly Informed the
arch conspirator that the Hawaiian
Islands were not large enough for both of
them. As President Dole himself did not
propose to go, the consprator had to.
This small rogue is now at large in San
Francisco. 1t is supposed that he exer-
cised Hobson's choice in coming here.
While the community as whole is not
agitated by a desire TO see him, there are
individuals who regard his return as an
illustration of the truth of The proverb
which declares that the ways of the trans
gressor are hard. In these days of tele-
graphic communication the field for Ma
poieonic operations is limited.

USELESS STATE OFFICES.

a goodly number of Safe officials in
New York are fearful that something
will happen. During the campaign ex-
Senator Warner Miller said that The State
was supporting number of useless COM
missions at cost of about 81, O00, 600 a
year. Pretty much all their duties prop
erly devolved upon the Governor and the
constitutional State officials acting as a
council. Places had been made at differ
eut times for prominent political war
horses who had fallen outside the breast
works. The ex-Senator's speech is made
the text of newspaper articles, which call
upon the incoming administration to use
the pruning-knife with an eye TO the in
terest of taxpayers rather than of the men
who have been drawing salaries from the
State and spending a few months each
year in Europe. One official is mentioned
by name who draws a salary of $4,000 a
year and devotes his time to the study of
social problems as presented at Monte
Carlo and other places of fashionable re-
sort.
The time to abolish Offices is when there
is a change of the party in power.
No party would be expected to turn its
friends out OF Office. But an Office held by
political opponent comes naturally
within the range of the pruning process.

understanding would not be respected by
belligerent against whom the submarin
cable was being used by an enemy. II,
for instance, war broke out between
Great Britain and the United States. the
Atlantic cables would only be safe where
both ends were controlled by the same
power, or by that power 10 conjunction
with neutrals. Great Britain could not
allow American dispatches pertaining to
the war to cross British soil. nor could we
suffer British dispatches to be transmitted
through American territory. Indeed, it is
manifest that one of the first steps taken
by the United States, in the event Of such
a war, would be to sever Geographic COM
munication between Great Britain and her
American colonies by picking up the At
lantic cables and cutting them.
1t is partly in view Of such a contingency
that the Canadians and Australians are
moving for Pacific cable. Great Britain
now connects with Australia by cable
which skirts many foreign countries,
though its landing places are under the
British flag. A war with Persia or an
instruction in India might suspend its
operations. On the other hand British
North America connects with the mother
country by cable which starts from Brit
ish soil and lands on British soil: but
smart sailor could easily pick it up in the
Gulf of st. Lawrence or on the plateau
east Of Newfoundland. and it might re-
main useless throughout the war.
The arguments which were adduced at
Paris nearly forty years ago in favor OF
the inyiolability of ocean cables are
cogent. There is no necessity to add 10
the hardships which war inf cts on CON-
merce or disruption of intercourse with
foreign ports. But it was we'll pointed ont
at Paris that a provision safeguarding
commercial dispatches from interference
could be made to screen military intelli-
gencs by means of ciphers. And so the
problem was left in allegiance.

A VANISHING DELUSION.

A direct vote upon the policy of admit
ting raw material free has shown upon
what a slender foundation it was con-
structed. The American advocates of that
policy assumed that it must work we'll in
this country because it had worked well in
England. They did not take j to consid-
GRAFTON the different conditions under
which the TWO countries have developed
their industries. Excepting iron and coal
England imports most of the raw mate
rails her mills convert into finished goods.
She imports all her cotton. the greater part
of her wool and large proportion OF her
meats and grains. To impose duties on
these articles would increase their cost to
manufacturers and would have no COM
pensatlng effect in building up home in
dustries. The United States can produce
nearly all her raw ma 'erial, but as lab r
has been higher in the United States than
in some competing countries, her raw ma
terial producers are sometimes undersQld
in their own market. The American advo-
cate of free raw material therefore simply
proposes TO reduce the worker in the pro-
duction of raw material to a level, so far
as wages are concerned, with his foreign
competitor
The cotton and wool manufacturing in
dustries show that the possession OF free
raw material is not determining factor in
the development of such l. dustries. The
value OF cotton goods manufactured in the
United States increased in the thir'v wears
between 1860 and 1890 from $1l5, 600. 900 to
$267, 900 900. The value of the manufac-
ture OF wool during the same period in
creased from S65, 100000 to over 1851, OOO,-
900. During ali this time our cotton
manufacturers had free raw material
while our wool manufacturers paid duties
on the foreign wool they imported. Under
protection a great raw ma erial industry
had been built up, while the manufactur-
ing branch of the wool industry increased
about four times as RAPIDLY as the manu-
facture of cotton increased. 1t does not
appear that free raw cotton helps us much
to conquer foreign markets. We do ex-
pert some of the coarser varieties of cot
ton cloth, but the volume of such exports
has not materially increased in the last ten
years. The foreign market for staple
manufactured goods is firmly held by low
labor countries.

THE PACIFIC CABLE.

Three or four hundred miles north west
of the Hawaiian group lies an island about
800 yards long, called on the maps Neckar
Island. 1t is volcanic peak, and only q
few years ago was covered with guano.
When the Canadians and Australians
traced line for their submarine telegraph
they chose This island as fit SPOT for
halfway house, and as Great Britain made
it condition of a subsidy TO the enter
prise that the wire, when out Of the water.
should rest throughout its length on British
soil, British warshiD was dispatched to
annex Neckar Island. Unfortunately for
the projectors of the new cable the design
reached the ears of the authorities at
Honolulu. and they sent swift steamboat
10 the island with orders to land and hoist
the Hawaiian flag. This evidence of prior
occupation was the first object which
caught the eye Of the British navy captain
when be steamed to the island; and wisely
presuming that an attempt to haul down
the Hawaiian flag might involve Great
Britain in an undesirable controversy
with this country. he shifted his helm ana
sailed away.
The incident has led to explosions of
wrath at Ottawa and in New Zealand. A
Canadian journal refers to the failure of
the British attempt to gobble Neckar Isl
and as peculiarly exasperating," and
New Zealand invites the other Australia
sian colonies to join in a protest against
the occupation of Neckar Island by Ha-
wall. The British press is less excited
over the matter. but is evidently moi
pleased at the prospect that the proposed
new cable cannot be carried from one
British colony to another without landing
on soil which is now foreign, aud which
may. in the vicissitudes of time. pass I'M
der the United States flag, except by very
long link from Fannings Island TO Van
cOuver.
The imbroglio revives the question of
the status Of submarine cables in war
time. AT the International conference
at Paris, held in 1856. it was proposed to
secure the neutrality of ocean cables by
general national agreement: but the effort
failed, and subsequent attempts TO accom-
plish the same result have also proved in
eHectuaL There is a vague general under
standing that submarine cables shall not
be disturbed by beliger-nls. But it is
evident that in the event Of actual war this
