HEWITT GOES WILD.
In a letter concerning this subject,
Abram S. Hewitt, ex-mayor of New
York. expresses himself thus:
MY view is substantially that there
is but one issue to be represented to the
PEOPLE of the United States. The Dem
ocra1c convention at Chicago made a
distinct declaration of war upon. the
constitution of the United States. The
issue, therefore. is not financial or eco
nonic; but it concerns the perpetuity
of republican institutions. In the pres
ence Of this issue, all other questions
sink into insignificance just as they did
when civil war threatened the existence
of The government. think, therefore.
that the constitution should be made
the sole topic of the consideration Of
the convention. 1t seems to me that if
the people can be made to see that the
bulwark of their liberty is assailed in
its most vulnerable point and that the
overthrow of the constitution will lead
first to anarchy and then to despot-

Is the Sun Burning Up?

Thousands Of curious and ingenious
theories have been advanced to account
for the effect that the sun, although he
has whirled his burning disk across the
heavens for untold ages, continues to
burn without being consumed or his
bulk being lessened in the least. Some
of our most learned astronomers believe,
or pretend to believe, that the great orb
is ball of gas, but even great globe
of gas would be consumed to its utmost
atom in the course of few thousand
years. Others say that fires are kept up
by the burning of the remains of wrecked
worlds which are constantly falling in
to its mysterious, burning depths. But
even this seems far from probable, and
those who take an opposite view declare
that it is monstrously absurd conclu-
sion. In summing up his opinion on the
last conclusion one of the most eminent
astronomers Of the day has figured that
q mountain range consisting of l76
cubic miles could fall into the sun and
yet not furnish fuel enough to keep up
the present rate of heat for single Sec
ond, and that mass equal to our earth
would only furnish heat for 90 years. If
these conclusions are correct, we may
well ask, OF what wonderful, indie
structible substance is our great light
giver composed?-Exchange.

GENERAL BUTLER.
He Was the First Presidential Candidate
to Employ Press Agent.

He Was the First Presidential Candidate
to Employ Press Agent.
General Butler originated the EN-
ployment and coined the term of press
agent at political headquarters, re-
marked a gentleman who has given
many years to the consideration Of ac-
tive politics. During his campaign for
the presidency on the labor ticket he
noticed that the representatives Of
the newspapers gave but little atten-
ton to the labor ticket headquarters.
He decided that this should not contin-
ne. Bailey, the circus man, who was a
friend of General Butler, took some in
terest in his campaign, and General
Butler spoke to him Of the neglect of
the newspapers Do as we do replied
Bailey, and hire men to take your stuff
to the papers - we call them press
agents, though you can call them any
thing else.
1.-THE idea was adopted Immediately
and Bailey was asked to spare one Of
his press agents for a couple of months,
which he consented to do, and sent Ma
jor Hugh Coyle, who resides in this city
during the off circus season, to report
to General Butler. Coyle was therefore
the first political press agent employed
as such. He took hold Of the Butler
boom and played it for all it was worth,
and ran the campaign on regular circus
principles He had man three or four
days ahead Of the general, whose duty
it was to organize Butler clubs in case
there was not any or where the club
was an insignificant affair.
'"rhe clubs were organized on the
principles and in the same way that
armies villagers and ballots are secured
for theatrical Or circus representations
that is, hired for the time they were
occupied in making the parade The
uniforms, banners, flags, drums, trans
parencies and other paraphernalia Of po-
litical clubs were owned by General
Butler and, like q circus tent, were sent
to the city where they were to be used ono
Or two days in advance. There is hardly
any political organization these days
which does not have press agent, but
there are few of them who will ever
compare with Hugh Coyle, for he com,
bincd great experience with intelli-
gcnce and was manager in every
sense. "-Wasbington Star.
