The Force of the Sun.

In spite of its immense distance the
iorce OF the sun is so prodigious that the
neat sent from it TO the earth is sufficient
10 keep in life the vegetable and animal
EMLngdoms, says the Chicago Tribune.
ne sun IS really the heart of the uni
versal organism, and without it neither
water nor air would exist, for everything
would be solid. The water that flows
the WIND that blows, the clouds that pass,
Ine RAIN that falls, the tree that grows.
me lower that blooms, the bird that
sings the horse that gallops. all owe their
existence to the sun. Oil, glass and cleo
grlClty are all the sun. An attempt has
oeen made to indicate the heating power
VI Ine sun by saying that it could boil in
au hour 100000 000,0 600 OF kilometers Of
water at freezing point. But we cannot
..onprehend such a statement. What is
we neat OF ten, twenty, or fifty thousand
uegrees! Any being who had stood such
neat and who should lie down on a sheet
OF iron heated TO white heat, or mass
OF molten metal, would imagine he was
wing on bed of snow. If the
Gun should approach the earth to the
utSldnce of the moon, the whole of our
tIoDe would melt like a ball of wax. This
Is marvel before which all the fables OF
"u1Iqulty and all fairy tales vanish like a
.lOud OF smoke. Light, of which the
speed IS 3OO, 900 kilometers per second

IdcIlon between the sun and the earth is
u'drly instantaneous. IL might be sup
posed that the surface of the sun is clear
.Dl1ed and homogeneous. but so far from
enls being the case, ii is covered with
grams and spots Of various dimensions

He was q smooth tongued fellow, and
the barkeeper looked at him with cold
and suspicious eye. Tho latter official
attempted several times between the
drinks and stories to have a private word
with the smooth tongued chap, but his
designs were apparently understood and
therefore frustrated. Finally, as the
evening waned the barkeeper brought
out a scrap of paper on which was in
scribed some meaning language. The
young man took it, read it carefully and
put it in his pocket. with the casual re-
mark that THAT was all right"
"Now, look here" said the barkeeper
a little later, ''about that bill If yours.
Can't you let me have something Oh that
nowg"
The young mans friends were rather
abashed at this, but the young man
wasn't phased. Really" he said. III l
could l would, but you see l haven't
got it"
How much have you got?"
''Ill give you all I've got, Of course. if
you'll wipe out the score. Is il a co."
'.All right, I'll do it," promptly re-
piled the barkeeper, thinking this was a
grand bluff.
The young man turned his pockets
WRONG side ont. the financial result be-
ing $l.S6. The barkceper produced the
account, which was $50. The young MN
smiled.
Now" said he. Il believe It is cus-
tomary when "a man settles his Account
at this bar for the house TO treat. Boys,
whatll you have"
But the barkeeper was looking for the
bungstar;er. and they didn't wait 10 see
whether he found it.-New York Herald.

A Schoolteacher Executes the Sire Drill to
Accept = Proposal Of Marriage.
Miss Isabel Medallion was o teacher
in public school. She had q young
man friend who was nervous and diff
dent. She knew tina: he was in love
with her, hut every time he started to
propose he stammered and suffered and
became so embarrassed that she felt
obliged to change the subject.
The young man realized his failing
and was much Inundated thereby
Night after night he went up to Miss
McGallon's house, determined to ask
her if she would not consent to give up
teaching school and become his wife, and
night after night he made frost of the
operation. One day he was passing along
the street on which the school in which
Miss Medallion teaches is situated, and
he felt that if he could see the object of
his alteration ut that time he would
have nerve enough to ask the momen-
tous question. He thought the matter
over and became firmly convinced that
he was equal to the emergency. There
was nothing to do then but try the ex-
pertinent, and he walked boldly into
the school and asked to see Miss Nc
Gallon.
The janitor escorted him to her room.
She had 4 lot of youngsters in front Of
when the young man came into the
room. She came graciously forward to
meet him. He blushed bit. but his
tongue did not go back ON him.
''How do you do:" she said, with q
charming smile. ''To what am indebt-
ed for the great pleasure Of this visit?"
The young man grnspcd her hand
Miss McGallon-Isabcl," he said fer
vently, Il have called here this morn
ing because have something very i'm
portant to say to you. It is something
on which depends my happiness for all
my future days. / want to ask
But" interrupted Miss McGallon,
eff it is so important as that, would il
not be better if we were alone?"
Eyes, but beg Of you not to turn q
deaf ear to me because these children
arc here"
Miss McGallon smiled again. Then
she walked to the desk and rang big
gong three times. At the sound of il
the children all rose and marched out OF
the room.
That" she said rs she turned to the
astonished young man, lis the fire drill.
Now, if you hustle, you will have time
to say what you want to say before they
get back.
And he had just received the be-
trothal kiss as the children came troop
ing through the hall ON their return

10 nothing small or petty in this let
ter. nothing which hints ut quibbling

Boston Post (Dem.)
A mere politician would have kept
hands off, but President Cleveland
has shown before this that he has the
courage OF his convictions, and he
sometimes wins where others would
fail, simply because he is bold
enough to talk plainly and forcibly to
his colleagues and the public. There
is no lack of frankness in this letter,
which in courteous terms scourges
the senate for having abandoned
democratic principles in amending
the Wilson bill.-Fhiladelphia Ledger
Qnd. Rep.)
Stand by the pledge to give the
country the boon Of free raw mater
ials!" This is the sum and substance
of President Cleveland's strong and
incisive letter on tariff legislation
which was so effectively introduced
in his speech before the house by
Chairman Wilson. There is not the
shadow Of doubt that the president

Boston Globe, (Dem.)
There is no doubt that Mr.. Cleve-

party and the general sentiment OF
the country in his desire that the in

was elected shall be faithfully car

dent has made it clearly understood
that. whoever else may waver, he
stands true to the cause he repre-
sents. = Philadelphia Times, lind.

The house has the firm support Of
the president. and it is gratifying
and encouraging.to note how strongly
he calls for the redemption Of the
pledges Of the democratic party and
the maintenance of democratic prin-
ciples. Let the hou Sc do its duty
and public opinion will force the SEN

The Prcsident's Letter,

Not more welcome to the ears OF
the beleaguered defenders OF Luck
now were the pipes and bugles that
relief was coming than are to the
American people the cheers that
greeted Chairman Wilson's brave
and statesmanlike words in the
house and the trumpet-call to duty
that rings and echoes in every
line OF President Cleveland
letter to Mr.. Wilson, read in
the same body. They mean
that the limit to base treachery and
cowardly subserviency has been
reached; that the peoples house is
still the peoples house, true and
loyal to the trust committed to it in
1892, and that the peoples president
still stands, as he has always stood,
the firm and faithful champion of the
peoples rights. and the resolute ex-
FOUNDER and executor of the peoples
will. 1t means that the political
traitors and renegades will not be
allowed to compel ratification by the
president and congress of the sordid
compact by which they have secured
Legislation for trusts and monopolies
ut the expense Of the honor of the
democratic party and the best inter-
csts of the American people.-Balti-
more Sun (dem.)
President Cleveland has once more,
Mt perilous moment. come to the
rescue OF the democratic party from
its own less reputable elements. and,
whether he succeeds or not in his
laudablc purpose, he deserves great
credit for his endeavor. He has
simply done his duty, even though
he has done more than he was strict
ly called upon to do by his oath OF
Office or the specific functions of his
position. And every honest man
who likes to see courage and fair
dealing in politics as in other things
will hope, whether he be protectionist
or free trader, that the president
will succeed in stifrening the back
bone of the democratic party so that
it will stand up to its protested prin.
ciples like men.-Providcnc Journal
Qnd.)
Some will say it will complicate
the situation and awake opposition at
executive interference; others tina,
the president has spoken the right
word Mt the right time. He is eau.
tious rs well as a bold man. He
would not have spoken at this late
hour unless it clearly appeared that
the word was needed. We incline to
the view that the letter will have the
effect Of marshaling the reform forces
in congress to successful stand
against the rascally combination
headed by German. But let the is
sue be joined ut once and final vote
had. This continued delay and un-
certainty is having killing effect on
the business Of the country.-Spring-

JOINED by HILL.
He VIII Aid the Western Senators in Their
Einht for NnIr Gtntns

'S"' " 'thbss'
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Hill
has Joined forces with the western senators
in urging the early consideration in COM
mittee of the territorial admission bills. He
brought the question up at the last meeting
of the senate committee on territories and
said that as considerable time had elapsed
since the Utah and Arizona bills had passed
the house, and as there seemed to be no OBJ
lection to the admission of Utah on account
of lack of population or wealth or for any
other legitimate cause, he thought the Utah
bill should, at any rate, be taken up by the
committee.
Senator Faulkner, chairman of the COM
mittee, replied, reiterating his desire to have
Utah admitted. and saying that the admis-
sion bill would be taken up in due course,
but as the tariff bill was to soon be reported
to the senate and would, when once under
discussion in the senate, necessarily consume
almost all the time Of that body, there was
nothing to be gained by haste in consider
ing the bill in and reporting it.
Senator Hill is chairman of the subcommit-
tee on Arizona, and has not yet called the
subcommittee together to consider the
Arizona bill.
