ings are said the Genius. You want
analogies and all the elements Of knowl-
edge to comprehend the scene before
you. But those beings who
appear to you almost as imperfect in
their functions as the zoophytes of the
polar sea have sphere of sensibility
and intellectual enjoyment far superior
to that of the inhabitants of your earth.
Each of those tubes which appear like
the trunk of an elephant is an organ of
peculiar motion or sensation. They
have many modes of perception Of
which you are wholly ignorant and al
the same time their sphere of vision is
infinitely more extended than yours
and their organs of touch far more per-
feet and exquisite. Their
sources of pleasure are of the highes:
intellectual nature. AS can
not describe to you the organs of these
wonderful beings, so neither can show
you their modes of life. But as thcii
highest pleasures depend upon intel
lectual pursuits, so you may conclude
that these modes of life bear the strict.
est analogy to that which on the earth
you would call exalted virtue.
If were to show you the different parts
of the surface Of this planet you would
see marvellous results of the powers
possessed by those highly intellectual
beings and of the wonderful manner in
which they have applied and modified

Pats Strike.

An upper Peninsular paper tells q
story of Swede employed by the
Boom company on the Menominee
river. He was working on one Of the
dividing piers, and the logs were
coming faster than he could handle
them. He asked the foreman to send
a man to help him, which was done.
A couple of hours later he repeated
his request for assistance.
"Why," answered the foreman, 81

Put the earth up there in the place of
Jupiter and the naked eye would with
difficulty be able to see it. Jupiter Is
1900 times larger than the earth in bulk
or volume, and it's surface area exceeds
that of the earth about 12O times.
1t would seem as if the ancients must
have had some inkling of the fact that
that planet is the largest of all the
worlds that revolve around the sun
when they bestowed upon it the name
of the greatest of the gods.
We have almost no evidence what
ever touching of the nature of the ma
terials of Jupiter. The spectroscope
cannot aid us, because Jupiter does not
shine by its own light, and the sunlight
reflected from it comes from the upper
surface of its dense clouds, and conse-
quently makes no revelations concern
ing what lies beneath.
But the telescope shows that Jupiter
is covered with wonderful clouds con-
tinually changing in shape, and more
or less in color; that these clouds float
in an atmosphere of great depth, and
that they form perhaps successive lay

Amid all the seriousness Of the is
sues of this campaign there are glints
OF humor perceptible, however, only to
National Democrats. Why, by the way,
National Democrats? The elections
held would seem to indicate that the
Bryanites are also national in extent.
Anchor" Democracy would be truer
designation But that is an aside. It
starts an amused smile to see Repub-
licans pointing to the stability of En-
glish currency under a gold standard
as something to be initiated by this
country, and the smile broadens as
one sees the Bryanites taking up the
old English bugaboo, discarded for the
nonce by the Republicans, and shak-
ing it in the scared faces of the pop
ulace. One satisfaction comes in the
thought that there will be no more left
of the English scarecrow after this
double service than there is of the old
bloody shirt.
Then there is Bismarck. How the
opinions Of the old composite of blood
and iron as to the necessity and bene-
faction of protection were printed and
repeated and lauded by the Republi-
cans in the tariff campaigns What
sound statesman he was; what true
conception he had Of the great Ameri-
can system of building everybody and
everything up. How the German
American citizen was coddled by the
exploitation of the example and policy
of their great countryman. And now
Bismarck serves the same noble end
for the Bryanites. His letter to Cul-
berson, in several TRANSACTIONS, is ban
died about on the stump and in print
as confirming the Chicago policy. and
the Republicans are as busy belittling
the ex-chancellor as they once were in
magnifying him. Very funny to us
Democrats Of the anchor brand is this
turning of the tables, this f1agellation
of the Republicans with the same cat
o'-nine-tails with which they once be-
labored US.

WORDS FIFTY CHOSEN.

A correspondent, whose letter an
pears elsewhere, objects to the use. in
an editorial in these columns. of the
words ruin, riot and reputation" as
applying to the possible consequences
Of the adoption Of the Chicago platform,
as the political rule of action for this
country's future. These words were
not used in an outburst of passion, but
were weighed carefully. 1t is not the
habit Of the o b to abuse anybody
and 1t abuses no one in this descrin-
ton of the danger with which orr
country is threatened. 1t does not ac-
cuse the supporters of the Chicago
platform and candidates with trying
deliberately to bring ruin, riot and
repudlauon, any or all of them, upon
this country. Having firm faith in
the high patriotism of the American
people, 1t believes that all Of them
except very small set of men en-
gagged in upholding monopolies. and
another very small set of men engaged
In seeking office for themselves at any
price, desire, first Of all, the public
good. Those Of them who are hon
estly and sincerely supporting Mr..
Bryan and the Chicago platform. and
there are many such. do so, we have no
doubt, with the idea that the country
will be benefited rather than injured
thereby. What we believe, and what
we have said because we believe 1t and
because we consider 1t oe the utmost
Importance that everybody should un-
derstand it, is that the inevitable con-
sequence. however little now under
stood or accepted, would be expressed
IN the words that we used as quoted
above.

contrary He confuses in the most sin
guiar way the power" to do a thing

says: IF congress has the right to say

A GOOD IDEA.

We are glad to see preparations un-
der way thus early for a renewal this
year of the winter carnival that was
so successful last season. We are still
better pleased to understand that the
project is to rest upon a business basis
and not to wear semblance Of a pub
lie or semi public affair. There is good
money to be made by instituting and
carrying through winter carnival
on grand scale between these two
cities.
Our winter season is long and is un-
broken by those relaxations which are
permissible at time of year when
people can get out Of doors More
than ever, we think, will the confine-
| ment of the winter months be realized
now that so many people have become
accustomed by the use of the wheel
to spending hours each day In exer-
else in the open air. They will pine
for their wonteds outings, and will pat
ronlze literally a form of amusement
which gives them what they need, to-
gether with something Of the spectac-
ular. We believe that a big winter
park furnished with skating Kinks, to-
ooggan slides and all the accessories
of outdoor enjoyment, supplied with
unique carnival attractions and en-
ploying the fine effects that can be
produced by combinations Of colored
lights through iced walls, will prove a
drawing attraction and paying en-
terprise.
1t ought not to be ana is not nee
essary to go around among our people
for large subscriptions for the purpose;
but, just as ball games and other sum-
ner amusements are now profitable
undertakings, SO can the winter carni-
val easily be made to pay it's own way
and earn dividends on the investment.
The carrying out Of this enterprise will
attract many people to st. Paul during
the winter, in addition to the benefit
that 1t will offer to our own citizens.
1t is capital idea, and we hope to see
the most made of 1t.

A PETTY BUSINESS,

1t really seems to us that the city
comptroller might get into better bust
ness than that of continually marrying
the school board, keeping them in the
dark as to their financial condition. and
attempting to saddle upon the funds
assigned to them all sorts of charges
that do not belong to them. The latest
attempt in that direction, In which
Mayor Doran has joined with Mr.. Nc
Cardy, is especially reprehensible. An
order has been put through, it is said.
against the rental and repair fund of
the school board, calling for 81 500 to
pay for expenses incurred during the
encampment of the G.. A. r. Now. this
whole question was fought out and set
tied in advance. 1t was proposed
originally, when this use Of the school
buildings was agreed upon, that the
board of education should pay from it's
funds the cost of the necessary insur-
ance. The president and other mem
bers of the board strenuously resisted
| and declared that no such order would

before the legal department Of the
city, which sustained the position of
the school board. 1t was therefore
agreed that the boards funds should
not be drawn upon for any charges
arising from occupancy of school
buildings by veterans, and with that
understanding the matter was dropped
Now comes the city comptroller, aided
by the mayor, In an attempt to fasten
this charge upon the already INSULT
Gent resources Of the school board. in
defiance of everything that has gone
before. 1t is a petty business at best
and one which these gentlemen should
be ashamed to engage IN.
This is not. apparently, the whole
story. Employees were engaged to do
work about the buildings at the ex-
pense OF the citizens committee. Their
bills for such services have not been
paid, In an evident attempt either to
force the payment OF such charges also
