all that is to be known concerning
that Jackson's Hole business is
learned, it will be seen that no one
has been killed and that the whole
affair was engineered by the set
tiers, to scare the bucks who ,were
out hunting game outsidei OF the
reservations and hasten their re.
turn to their proper agencies. There
as no doubt that this result.has, been
accomplished, and the spirit and
temper OF the state government as
certained. That the indiscrimi-
nate slaughter Of big game for the
pelts will be no longer tolerated by
the state authorities is,one thing
that has been settled inithis scare.
The Indian agents in that.country
may Just as we'll makeup !their
minds to keep their charges on the
reservations or see trouble. To
this end has the thing whitfield
itself down and the conclusion can

SIZE OF THE UNIVERSE.
As Calculated From the Light of the
Stellar Planets.

steiiar Iidhets'
While it is interesting to know the
distance of some of the stars in miles,
when stated in that way, the numbers
are so large that they frequently con-
vey very indistinct conceptions to the
mind. For this reason it is customary
to estimate star distances in light
years" A light year is the distance
that light, moving at the rate of 1885,
300 miles per second, travels in one
year. This amounts in round numbers
to 5, $50, 900, 900, 900 miles. The distance
of Alpha Centauri is 4S5 light years;
that of Sirius. the Dog Star, is al
most exactly twice as great, or SO
light years. In other words, light
requires SO years to come TO us from
Sirius. And these are among the very
nearest of the stars. Some, whose
parallaxes have been rather estimated
than measured, appear to be situated
at a distance which light could not
traverse in less than one or two CEN
turtles. The great star Arcturus, for
instance, has, according to DIR. Elkin,
a parallax of only eighteen one-thou-
VI ScGOuN. lJS uloIdhCO
must, in that case, be about 1S1 light
years, or more than thousand million
million miles. And if its distance is so
great then, since light varies inversely
as the square of the distance from it's
source, it can be shown that Arcturus
must actually give forth 5000 or 5000
times as much light as the sun yields.
Yet Arcturus is evidently much near
err than the vast majority of the stars
are. Not one in a million is known to
have parallax large enough even to
be inteIligently guessed at There may
be stars whose light requires thousands
instead of hundreds of years to cross
the space separating them from us.
We thus see that only few points
on the nearer shores of the starry uni
verse lie within reach of our measure
ments; here and there jutting head
land, while behind stretches the vast
expanse over which the hundreds of
millions of stars known to exist are
scattered. P. Serviss, in Chau-
tauquan.

There is no doubt that the late
legislature thought thatlit had put
a spoke in the wheels Of prize
fighting in this state for all
time to come, but is is now appsr-
ent that the spoke slipped several
cogs at the time it was inserted,
and at this stage Of the game there
is not a single authority in the
state Of Texas that actually knows
what the issue is to be. The Gov.
ernor and Attorney General have
expressed their opinions, some OF
the ablest lawyers in the state have
expressed theirs and between these
opinions there is a yawning chssm
deep enough to bury all the resolu.
tions and petitions that could be

now and ring time. 1t looks now

and the courts decide its legality
afterwards.

COUNSEL FOR THE COUNCIL

COUNSEL FOR THE COUNCIL
| San Antonio has some members
of the City Council who are intelli-
gently alive to the needs OF the
corp ,ration, who are as careful OF
the interests OF the citizens as IL it
was their own private business
they were considering, and who
honestly attempt to do business
for the people on the square, but
the views OF these councilmen do
not seem to obtain with the MAORI
ty OF that body. This is to be re-
gett I'D, for 1t is Of the first impor-
lance that those who are intrusted
with the business OF the city
should so transact it as to secure
the general confidence OF the
people. There is no doubt that it
is a great deal easier to prescribe
in critical way for public
ills than to wisely correct these
ills, but there are also certain
broad lines laid down for
a true public conduct that
are Sd plain that every man who
does not wilfully close his eyes can
read as he runs. 1t is not too
much to ask that there be no
webbing along a straight and plain
path. Public servants are select.
ed to look after public interests,
and it is their first duty so to do.
II public interests and private
clash, there is just where the pub-
lie servant is expected to get in his
work for the public, leaving the
private interests to look out for
themselves in their own way. 1t
Is not matter Of general complaint
that private interests suffer by be-
ing overridden by public necessity,
at least not in this city. The con-
verse of this is true, to no little
extent, and the conscience Of the |
virtuous alderman need not prick |
for fear that some pri- |
vate contractor or some private
interest will suffer while the pso-
pie are getting their own. Private !
interests are private concerns, pri- !
vate business to be looked after by !
hose who are personally interest |
ID. Public interests are public |
concern, to be looked after by each
person employed for that purpose
~ the people. The US Irpation OF |
private rights is no more to be con-
than that Of public rights.
There is always the path OF a true
conduct that can be discerned in
ooking for the right road, but IL in
my case an inevitable confliction
20 mes, then must the decision be |
or the people against the person.
The mind and heart and conscience |
and horse sense Of the present City |
Council OF San Antonio are re-
specially directed to the homely
truths contained in the above.
