TWO BRILITtNT WFTIORs.
4 Display of Unusual Interest Seen In the
Sky Near pittsburg.

shy -Nfti
PITTSBURG. Sept. 20.-Several brilliant
mcteors were seen here Wednesday night
Professor Frank ". Very. the astrono-
mer # the Western University. say two.
one about o'clock, not far from the up
per angle OF the square OF the cOnstelia-
ton OF Pegasus, al an altitude of 80 de-
grccs, and the other about 1889 o'clock,
among the gtars of the same constella-
ton at an altitude Of about 20 degrees.
Both were of great brillance. and the
latter exploded at about fifty miles from
the EARTH Professor Very said of this
meteor.
Il compared this meteor with the list
Of W. +. Denning, of England. the ac-
knowledeed authority on meteors. and
last nights meteor agrees approximately
with one due on next Sunday. IL was
the nearest / could find among any of the
published Iadiants, but its character does
not agree with that of the meteor de-
scribed by Denning. The one expected on
Sunday is a little TO the north Of the con-
stellation Of Pegasus, and is slow. The
one last night seems too quick for that
system. 1t is also very rare for Tadiants
to endure for a night or two, and last
nights meteor was either ahead of time
or it belongs to a radiant very close 10
the one due on Sunday. The latter theory
is probably the more exact
Professor James +. Keller said his back
was turned when the meteor flashed
across the sky, and he a first thought the
light was from lightning, but its eX-
IRENE brilliancy showed ii to be from a
meteor. Superintendent George II. An
derson. of the Chamber of Commerce,
saws that about $3.50. as he was situng on
the lawn of his Sewickley residence, the
whole northern sky was filled with light.
He saw in the northeast. well up toward
the zenith. a globe of light apparently as
large as the sun.
1t remained stationary for time, ana
then. showing prismatic colors. exploded
or dissolved. a meteor or shooting star
bursting from it, and very slowly passing
down the sky toward the northeastern
horizon. Others who saw II say that IL
seemed 10 remain stationary for a time
and 10 visibiy expand. Some thought they
could hear the report OF its explosion, but
Professor Very thinks this improbaoie F.,
as at sos miles above the earth II would
take four minutes for the sound 10 reach
here. and il is unlikely that the atinos-
pbare would thus carry the sound.

of government on this continent But
the whole iGoa OF that thing Is now atan-
doncd by the great majority Of the Amer
lean people. 1t Is n sentiment, and false
sentiment at that. We predict mat II
the question ever arises. the people OF
the United States will say that the whole
South American continent may 20, bag

vows" before they will involve them
selves in war about them.
But that IS a strange proposition OF
Gen. Longstreet's. that the administra-
ton was deferred from going to war with
Great Britain because we did not have
ships built and an army drilled. We
absolutely repudiate for Mr.. Cleveland
any such pusillanimCus notion. We do
not believe the administration would hes
itate one moment about Bringing on a col
lison with Great Britain, If a just oc-
cas.on for one should arise, because she
had more ships than we have. And If it
did, the people would turn all officers
responsible for such a course, out of
office. TO stay out forever.
II we are to have war. 1t will not be
allowed to turn on the question Of our
preparation. Il will turn on the justice
OF the quarrel and, II we are forced TO
fight, we will very soon have all the
ships and the men, too tlat the case

The New Woman.

The new woman IS attracting great
aeal Of attention flom the press ana
the public: much has been written
about her and much has been SAID put
tha most arur0priatc lines We have seen
as vet are those we find in 'Punch,
which describe her as follows:
"Unsexed. Fictitious, foolish, course, in
humani
shes not the New she's but the Novel
woman"
The new woman IS not the woman the
world admires: she is not the woman
that people will admire and love. IN
seized she is foolish, coarse and inhuman,
disrobed Of her finer feelings of her
gentle. tender and loving nature. She
is entirely out OF her orbit, Ike a tramp
star in the social universe she has no
fVed Mace i'm heart or home. The nearer
she approaches man in his characters
tics inst so far does she descend from the
high and holy position in which God has
placed her and in which man recognizes
and estecms her.
II is a fact that Is admitted the world
over that the women who nearer ap-
proached the perfect woman before the
war was our own Southern women.
They were ideals as mothers. wives
swcetboarts. and friends. ana there
was not a chiyairOus Souiherner who
would not have died To defend their
honor In her proper sphere she look
ed to man as her friend and her protect
or. and in him she always found one
In woman's weakness IS her strength.
There is more power in a tear from a
woman's eye than there is in a strong
mans arm. In her gentleness and in
her weakness is her great power. She
awakens in the breast Of man a SYM
pathy that is as strong as life, that en-
dureth unto death. The new woman
pretends 10 rely upon herself. and man
OF course permits her TO do so. This Is
why that here in the closing years Of the
nineteenth century you find that men
the world over are not giving to woman
that kind. tender and solicitous care they
aid In the days gone by.-Danville Star.

THE nt>GICo RESOLUTIONS.

The Democrats OF Hcnrico. in conven-
ton assembled. have sent this message
out TO their brother Democrats il every
Ysrt Of Virginia:
Resolved. That the Democratic party
Of iienrico county In convention assem-
bled. recognizes the equality Of all mon
before the law, and regards the right
OF suffrage as a sacred trust. and the
exercise thereof public duty. to the
discharge OF which every good citizen
should apply himself with the utmost
fidelity.
Resolved. That this convention is in
Favor Of honest elections, ana views with
adherence every device intended or cal
culatcd to interfere with free oillot and
"a fair count.
Resolved. That existing laws should be
so amended as 10 remove the popular
dis:rust OF their operation. and restore
perfect confidence in the fairness OF our
election methods thereby encouraging
the people TO take that interest in politi-
cal affairs which is so essential in rep
resertatiye system Of government.
Hcnrico has suffered much. and she is
therefore entitled to be heard. bitter
experience has taught her the degrading
the right OF voters to vote as they wish,
and to have their ballots counted as
cast. and she has the right therefore,
TO appeal to her brethren in all parts
OF the State 20 think over what cheating
in elections brought TO her, and 10 grub
up and cast out any tendency towards
il that they may find growing up in
their midst The Henrico Convention
was right to 70 further than simple de-
nunciaton of fraudulent elections 1t
was right to express its "abhorrence Of
every device intended or calculated TO
interfere with a free ballot and fair
count" This was a plain Genunciation
OF the dsgraceful alternating of names
on the ballots that we saw practiced all
over Virginia last fall, and it properly
expresses the disgust Of all decent men
at any contemplate swindling trickery of
that sort.
The Henrico resolutions strike the key
note o. this whole case when they say
that the existing laws should be so
amended as 10 remove the popular dis
trust of their operation. and restore per-
feet confidence in the fairness of our
election methods. In this way. as these
resolutions say, the people will be en-
outraged to take that interest in politi-
cal affairs WI ch is essential tc repre-
sentative government-an interest which
the sean lalous spectacles We Lave wit
res sed in the past two years was rapid
ly destroying. But there is the thing TO
keep in view. The people should be made
&c understand that their Legislature cor
daily abhors all trickery in all things,
but especially in matters pertaining to
the suffrage. that agency through which
the voice of the people is heard. When it
goes out to the country that our Legsla-
tlre has set its face against fraudulent
elections the people at large will soon
take the CUE.
Mr.. Maupin. too. the nominee Of the
Herrico Convention, is to be congratu-
lated upon his manly outspoken denun-
citation of fraudulent methods in cleo
tons. We look for good service from
him when the Legislature meets in be-
half of pure and honest elections.
