was even of the opinion that such
moons not only do exist, but that they
may be large enough TO be visible for
brief intervals when beyond the earth's
shadow; and Sir John Lubbock has
supplied formulate for calculating the
distances from observations of this
kind. NJ. Petit, director OF the Observa-

the earth is attended by at least one
meteoric stone of considerable size. 1t

moon, its orbit being about 5000 miles
from the earth's surface or 5000 from
the center; and the tiny moon revolves

The archiepiscopal episode, as it has
begun to be called, marks the acute
stage of that interecine war in the
Episcopal church in the metropolis over
the question eff sacerdotalism which
has brought bishops and clergy into
more than one unpleasant conference.
There Is no denying that the high
churchmen have the most at command
from numerical and pecuniary point
of view, and the bishop himself is
known to have uttered fear that they
are inclined to go rather far. Only the
immense personal influence of Bishop
Potter and the known excellence OF
his administration have succeeded In
stemming the tide of itualism. The
more radical members Of the flock are
very much displeased with the bishop,
and through their efforts a resolution
was passed at recent diocesan confer
ence referring this whole matter to the
general convocation next autumn. The
scene of hostilities Is thus transferred
to an impartial body and the Episco-
palians Of New York are already hard

sncy n the sanctifled body. AS for the
low church body, they are abiding to
their antagonists as irreverent and as
playing the part Of saints with barrels

F,o,,;ra THE STRONG SLATE.
origin of alleged unfriendliness be
tween himself and Platt. 1t seems that
this ambition of the mayor has all along
been understood by Mr.. Platt, and,
while not openly avowed, the story is
that when it was intimated to Mr..
Platt he expressed himself as not un-
willing to aid Mr.. Strong, but that it
was rather early in the season
for consideration of such a ques-
ton. Immediately the story went
about that Mr.. Plat had another
man In tow for the placs, and
Clarence Lexow is named as that
man. Be this as 1t may, the gov
ernorship is certainly the object
OF the mayors ambition, and he
thinks ne can readjust local po-
litical lines and get nomina-
ton next year. Hence the rather un-
friendly relations existing between the
rural and urban sections of the party.
AL the talk seems to take very lit
tie account of the present governor,
who Is believed to have commanded a
respectable number of votes himself,
and who is not getting out Of political
life apparently. It will be remem-
bered that there was talk Of presi.
Dental nomination for Mr.. Morton,
but this booming is purely local and
1t Is said in the interest Of Mayor
Strong. It is triie odd that Mr..
Strong has kept his little slate unbrok-
en- so long. He has done about as he
pleased, locally, and when Mr.. Platt
pointed out that he was only thinking Of
party interest in 1895, and that Mr..
Strong was hardly available as q can
didate that year, the mayors friends be-
came sngrier than ever, interpreting
this assertion about next year as def
mite announcement that Mr.. Strong
should not have Platt's support next
year for the governorship. Altogether
this question Of the governorship has
caused good deal of embarrassment
TO the party and Is likely to cause more
unless Mr.. Strong retires from the
field.

A considerable number of Bourbon
county republicans, headed by E. S.

hold true as to most republican con-

not wait until his trial to remove him,
but made an order to that effect dated
four days prior to the date set for his

an intensely partisan politician.
Four years ago, when the fight was a
doubtful one for the republicans in
the Eighth judicial district, they con-

above partisanship. Judge Humphrey,
a stalwart democrat, was nominated

went strongly republican, and now the
politicians are ignoring the non-psrti-
san denomination of Judge Humphrey,
and will run a straight candidate. A
good populist ought to be elected under
such circumstances.
