Is r1ars Inhabited?

Professor Holden, of Lick observa-
tory, scouts the idea that Mars is in
habited. He rejects, also, the theory
that Mars has canals. Observations
by him Of the spectrum of that planet
convince him that Mars has an atmo-
sphere utterly insufficient to sustain
human life He contends that it's atmo.
sphere is certainly as thin as that sur
rounding the highest peak Of the Hima-
layas, and probably much thinner; so
that, If there be any animate Marsians
at all, they must necessarily be ethereal
beings invisible to an inhabitant Of this
earth.
All this makes a very interesting
speculation, but it is much less con-
vincing than a glimpse through Profess
sor Coles Electric Eye. That marvel
Gus instrument distinctly reveals sur
face on Mars which could not be ex-
planned except upon the hypothesis that
the planet has an atmosphere even
heavier than our own. 1t shows great
masses of mountains and fertile val
leys, dotted with immense lakes. In
these valleys towering vegetation is
discernible consisting chiefly of great,
palm-lke trees, rising to phenomenal
height and capped with short, thick
branches, like broom corn magnified
thousand fold. While there are no
direct revelations of animal life the
contour of the country and the appar-
ent fertility of the lowlands would seem
to lend plausibility to an affirmative
belief on this point.
1t is claimed by Professor Coles that
only portion of Mars, however
is habitable, other portions being
yet in molten, or volcanic, state.
Photographs taken by him of cer-
tain portions of the planet reveal
great, white spears of light, as If
immense natural gas wells were
squirting forth streaks of intense IL
Elimination. When we consider that
Mars receives approximately eleven
times as much light from the sun as our
own planet receives, the intensity of
these exhalations of Marsian light,
standing out as they distinctly do, even
against background of fierce sunlight,
may be imagined.
The study of the question raised by
Professor Holden is a fascinating one,
even to the layman in astronomy; but
IL all that the Electric Eye reveals be
true, the Lick professor is viewing
things Marsian as through glass.
darkly.

Gold GERMS.

John V. Farwell, the eminent Chicago
merchant, has been somewhat puzzled
by the violent insistence Of the So
called "honest money press that the
only safe thing for this government to
do 1t to copy the gold monometallic sys-
TEN of England and turn it's back upon
silver. Says he: "Some of the best
thinkers in the universities Of the
United States, England and Scotland.
together with several ex-governors of
the Bank of England, and other great
men of Great Britain and elsewhere,
believe that international bimetallism
at uniform ratio Is not only possible
but desirable, and that monometallism
has been, and will continue to be,
menace to universal prosperity among
all classes, except owners Of gold and
gold securities, who alone are benefited
by it. If this is financial heresy, I for
one want to be set right"
Mr.. Farwell is not alone in this desire
for enlightenment. Until few months
ago, it was the belief of practically all
our citizens, excepting perhaps the gold
brokers and their friends, that time
would never come in America when the
whole force of the executive branch
of the government would be thrown
into the scale Of gold against silver, so
that the one metal might artillcially
advance in value precisely in proper
tion as the other is artificially de-
pressed. Not only was it believed in
those salad days that the constitution
expressly discountenanced such an at
tempted repudiation of one-half the
money of the nation, but 1T was further
believed that when, in 1892, both the
political parties, divided as they were
on other questions, unanimously de-
clared for bimetallism they meant some
thing more than a deceitful promise
which candidate elected on that plat
form might violate at will.
But, in the interval, a Daniel has
come to judgment; a fat Daniel, who,
having made hopeless mess Of every
thing else with which he has meddled,
now proceeds to head an assault upon
the silver current among our people.
It might be asked why any considera-
BILE number Of the American people, in
the light of their past experience with
Grover Cleveland, would again harlsen
to his delusive voice. 1t might be in
quired why the bidding Of the gold ex-
porters which he obediently repeats
should suddenly have charm for the
usually thoughtful masses, whose un-
doing it would effect. We can account
for these phenomena only on patho-
logical grounds, by the hypothesis that
gold germs are in the air.

The Amended Telephone Ordinance.

The action of common council Inst
evening in accepting the judiciary COM
mittee's excellent amendment of the
Interstate Telephone company fran
chise ordinance guaranteeing that the
franchise will be operated in accord
ance with the verbal agreements of its
promoters puts this matter upon foot
Ing to which the public can cordially
yield its assent. Under the terms of
this amendment, the new company
must, within six months after date of
the ordinances signature, have In
actual operation an exchange with
facilities for 300 subscribers at maxi
mum annual rental cost, per phone OF
$50. To secure q faithful observance
of these conditions, the company must
file a $4,000 guaranty bond, with two
approved sureties.
These conditions will not embarrass
the Interstate people If they are in
earnest; and they might have been
made even more eXacting without over
stepping the bounds of justice. a waltz
able public privilege is virtually given
away, subject to the single condition
that it will be put to a bona-fde pur-
pose without unreasonable delay. The
exacting of such a sensible condition as
this marks a fortunate departure from
familiar precedent, and is recommend
ed to the select branch of councils as
an excellent subject for imitation. II
there had also been added a condition
that in the central portion of the city
the new company's wires should be
placed underground, it would not have
been an excessive requirement.

Merchant Farwell, Of Chicago, asks
three very pertinent questions when he
inquiries Of financiers Of the Cleveland
school:
/. Is gold alone sufficient primary money
for the world?
2. If not, will gold and silver together
provide an excess?
8. If not, is any nation desiring COM
mercal relations with all the world-as
we and England do-justiiied in restrict
ing the amount Of primary money IN the
interest of any class of citizens?
OF course, the Cleveland school will re-
ply that they do not intend to do away
with silver altogether. Unfortunately
for that bluff, Secretary Morton, in his
recent burst of loquacity, gave 1t all
away. There is no doubt whatever
that Mr.. Cleveland's purpose, If he
could accomplish it, would be to retire
every silver dollar and every silver GER
tifcate from circulation, throwing our
currency back on restricted gold
basis, and making dollars twice as
scarce and therefore twice as valuable
as they are today, and it Is this absurd
policy that many Republicans are mis-
takenly applauding.

If those nations which have adopted
the single gold standard would turn
round and demonetize gold, substitute
ing silver, is anybody foolish enough
to believe that gold dollar, measured
in silver, would not soon depreciate
until worth only fifty a.? The re-
nations, thus restoring bimetallism,
would soon end the cry of "fifty-cent"
silver dollars.

the discovery Of the North Pole" We
will wager a straw hat that Senator
Allison never said anything of the kind.
