ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.

Regarding tne cCllpSe OI VIC IhoOh
which will take place this, Satur-
day evening, aug. ODD o. +. Har-
mon has the following in the Sc
attle P.-I.;
The moon enters the earth S
shadow at 9:24 p. m, and leaves 1t
at 1890 a. M, Pacific standard
t me. At Seattle the moon risos at
6:47 p. m. She will, therefore, be
more than two and one-half hours
high at the beginning of the eclipse.
The middle Of the eclipse will be at
1857 p. m. The eclipse will then
be at its greatest magnitude, the
shadow covering little less than
three-fourths of the moons diam
eter, and the illumed part being on
the northwest quadrant of the
moons die
The first contact with the shad-
ow will be made at point II de-
grees south OF east ON the moon 5
limb. and the last contact 63 de
grees south of west The local
times of the phases above given for
places other than those on the Pa
clfic standard meridian can be
found by changing the time accord
ing to the IougIJude-adding the
in time if east of the
standard meridian. and subtractino
if west.
As we watch thisecIipse it is well
to remember several interesting
facts: The moon will be about
247OO0 miles from us. At this
distance the earth shadow will be
about 800 miles in diameter How
far does the earth's shadow extend
into space?
At the time of the eclipse the
will be $4,000 miles long
a length equal to the diameter o.
the sun The average length Of
the shadow is $4,000 miles; but
the moon being more than the av-
erage distance from the earth, the
is more than the average
length. This shadow is a hug
cone, whose base Is the earth. Yet,
as we have seen, the sun can fill
the space between the earth and
the apex of her shadow.
| have spoken Of the magnitu lie
of the eclipse Of August -, and al
so Of the times Of beginning and
and of the points of first
and last contact. These features
of the eclipse will be the same
wherever the eclipse is visible. This
is always true Of lunar eclipses
The absolute time OF any of the
phases is the same everywhe the
local time being due only to change
in longitude. These remarks are
not true of solar eclipses. In
eclpses of the sun, the magnitude,
times of beginning and ending,
points Of contact, etc, are different
for different places The eclipse
may be total at one place and par
tiai at another The sun may be
ecIipsed on a certain portion of his
disc at one place, and on another
portion Of his disc at another place.

clopedia in the English language be-
fore the year 1878 ever defined dollar
in any terms other than of silver. In
that year the administrators of the
estate of Noah Webster, deceased,
cut the plates of our standard lexicon
and inserted a new definition that had
become necessary in order to throw a
penumbra of nationality around the
international gold conspiracy.
"The way to obviate the further
disastrous effects of this international
gold conspiracy is to stop it. We
want the system of bimetallism re-
stored in this country. Bimetallism
means the option of the debtor to pay
in either of two statutory coins ae-
eording to his own convenience and
according to the contract. This OPP
ton freely granted, the commercial
parity of the two money metals will
be speedily reached, nor can such
parity ever be seriously disturbed
again as long as the unimpeded OPP
ton of the debtor to pay in the one
metal or the other shall be conceded
by law and the terms of the contract.
The present commercial disparity OF
the two metals has been produced by
the pernicious legislation which be-
gan % years ago and which has not
yet satisfied itself with the monstrous
results that have famed therefrom.
WHAT Is PROPOSED.
"What do we propose to accomplish
by free coinage? We propose to do
just this thing, viz: to break the
corner on gold and reduce the exag-
gerated purchasing power of that
metal to its normal standard. Be as
cured there win be no further talk of a
50-cent dollar when the commercial
parity of the two metals shall be
reached. Every well informed per-
son must know that the present dis
parity of the two uncoined metals is
but the index of the extent to which
gold has been bulled in the markets
of the world. 1t is not an index of
the extent to which raw silver has
declined in its purchasing power in
the markets of the world, for raw
silver has not declined in its purchas-
ing power as compared with the
average OF other commodities in auy
civilized market place II iAe whole
globe. No man shall say the contrary
and speak the truth. This great ques-
ton is hot upon us. 1t a be kept
no longer. 1t is a tremendous econ
omic that ought to be decided in the
court of right, reason and OF fact. My
judgment is that the American people
in spite of all opposition are going to
reclaim the right of transacting their
business, and in particular of paying
their debts according to q standard
unit worth a hundred cents to the
dollar, neither more nor less, and
that they will not accept the intolera-
Bile programme which declares in fact
if not in words that they shall hence-
forth transact their business and in
particular discharge their debts with
a cornered gold dollar worth almost
two for one."

DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery cures Consumption and all
other blood diseases. 1t tones up the
blood making organs to produce a
fresh supply of healthy, red blood;
this carries new n~ourishment and life
to the wasted lung, tissue or any other
tissue that is affected. 1t drives out
the poisonous disease-germs which
clog the skin, liver or kidneys. 1t is
simply a question of purifying and
building up; where there is anything
left to build, the "Golden Medical Dis
covery" win infalliably build up and
cure. It cures cases which doctors
declare "incurable."

TGE LEDGER congratula % ou
friend, Col. Sam b. Cook, on the o@i
laurels aud honors he IL having al W
erred upon him. tSome men are bon :
great, some achieve greatness and
some have greatness thrust upon
them" Col. Cook combines all Of
these reasons for gong to the front.
In addition to all the numerous and
various endorsements he has received,
such az that for Governor, Chairman
of the State Central Committee, etc,
etc, a newspaper friend Of Kansas
City 10 caps the climax and puts on
the top sheaf in the way of finished
honors by crediting Col. Cool: with
being a "deacon in his church" in the
following language, referring to the
knocking out OF the Brown machine
at Kansas City:
"There are some things that would
not sound well, II told here Mt this
time, and Brown must be kept In the
back ground. Moreover, Sam B.Cook,
who, by the way, is a deacon in his
church at home, is very thoroughly
Disguised and has said plainly that the
defeat of Brown was fairly accom-
plished."
"Deacon Cook" would be invaluable
to any church, especially when it
came to strengthening out church
troubles and the election OF church
officers without any friction. The
office OF "deacon at large" might be
created SO that all the churches might
enjoy the same blessing.

Of Republicans in that county are

EVERY Democrat, whether he will
admit it or not, is either for the cleo
ton OF Bryan or the election of Nc
kinley. There is no half way ground.
The following from the New York Sam
is to the point along this line: ado
you say that you are against Bryan,
but not for Mckinley? Then you con-
tradict yourself. If You are against
Bryan, you want to beat him, and how
a you beat him except by being for
Mckinley? II a third ticket is nomi-
mated by the sound money Democrats
it will not be put up with any expec-
tation that it car be elected. 1t could
not get the electoral vote of a single
state, probably not ven a majority of
the votes in a single election district
of the whole Union"

AFTER a close perusal of Col. Il. B.
Buckner's open letter to Col. s. b.
Cook the LEDGER is forced to the
conclusion that much of Mr.. Buckner's
antipathy to the Democratic nominees
and Democratic platform grows
out of the fact that his relations
with Governor Stone are not as
pleasant and cordial as they might
be. The LEDGER fears that a
great many of the gentlemen who are
finding fault with national nominees
and national platform after self exam
in stion will find that they occupy
abo, 1t the same position as Mr.. Buck
ner Il, YES. Democrats who object to
the mo thods of the bosses should not
leave the uarty. The fight should be
made ut III party primaries. The
people are SUP posed to select the men

THE party welfare very often suffers
from the fact that what is good for
bosses is not good for the whole party.
There is a difference between party
leaders and party bosses. Party
leaders are honest and frank in their
endeavors to conduct party affairs in
such a way that success will crown
their efforts and that good govern
ment will result. Party bosses man
age everything from n personal stand
point, not with an eye single to the
good of the party, but with the sole
purpose of advancing their own inter-
ests, to get Office for Doodle instead OF
advancing the welfare of the country.
