METEORICl SHOWER TONIGHT
Good Night to Wear an Asbextos
Umbrella.

camille Flammarion's shower of
S1eteors Is expected tonight The tray-
elers Will appear to emanate from the
CONSERVATION Leo, not far from the star
Beua Th1s shower of stars will be re-
peated more abundantly next year. and
even more abundantly in 1898, and will
attain It's maximum in 1899. Here Is
the explanation Of the phenomena:
A swarm of meteoric corpuscIes cir
culates around the sun along a very
elongated orbit, which extends as far
as uranus, and takes about thirty-three
years to travel. This immense celes-
tial highway is strongly inclined upon
the track which the earth follows in its
year travel around the sun, but cuts
the terrestrial orbit at the spot where
our planet passes on Nov. a.
The main body of this celestial army
Will reach the earth in 1899. Neyerthe-
less astronomers are preparing to study
with the greatest attention what passes
through the sky tonight, so as to COM
plete their knowledge Of one of the
newest and most curious chapters of
contemporary astronomy-the relations
existing between comets and shooting
stars.
The first scientific observation of the
phenomena was made by Humboldt
and Bonpland, at Cumana America,
during the night between Nov. IL and
IL, 1893. A verftable shower Of shooting
stars began to appear before midnight
and acquired increasing intensity until
4 O'Clock in the mornig, and then dimin-
ished by degrees till daylight. Bon
pland asserted that there was not a
space in the sky equal to three diam
eters Of the moon that was not seen at
every instant filed with shooting stars.

central figure. 1T might be graceful
of these leading National Democrats a
seat in his cabinet, but it would be
bad politics. He would have a man at
his council board fundamentally OPP
represented by the others, the chief
included. The main purpose of cab
met is to surround the president with
advisers holding the same general
views as himself and his party, in
thorough harmony as to principles. To
have one there who would be hostile
to principles and policies would be alb
surd. Even Hoke Smith had the grace
to retire when he found himself out of
accord with the president, and he but
followed numerous precedents.
Then there is Gen. Bragg's point of
view. We have stated the sole purpose
of his becoming a National Democrat
1t was that Democratic principles
should not be without a national party,
and that the contest of Democracy with
| paternalism might have an organiza-
ton around which men might rally.
What would be thought of man lead
ing such cause, making the sacrifices
he made. who would accept place under
president for whose party he had
helped provide future antagonist?
What would he think Of himself, for
/
| that is the chief consideration? Again
! imagine the position of the general sit
| ting at the council table of Mr.. Nc
| Kinley. Think of his going over, with
the other secretaries, the December
message to congress of q protectionist
president. Imagine him asked to ad-
wise relative to the part treating of
| our monetary system. Suppose the
! president should ask his advice as to
| Incorporating recommendations for a
renewal of the sugar bounty, or the
annexation Of Hawaii, or subsidies to
] steamship lines, what kind of counsel
could he offer? From every point of
view the suggestion falls to the ground,
and the pluck of the Journal in insist
ing upon it is all there is in it to COM
mend it,

Big Mileage Books May Again Come
Into Use

The proposition to return the 5000
mile interchangeable mileage book to
general use, now being considered by
the Central Passenger committee. is
being watched with interest by West
ern roads, as the re-adoption of the
book by Central and Eastern lines
would naturally compel the same action
on the part of Western association
line. That the 5,000-mile book will be
replaced, there is good ground to pre-
dict, as the Central association has
called a meeting for Nov 10 to consider
the proposition and report a compre-
hensive plan. It is the proposed
scheme to have the 5,000-mile books is
sued by the commissioner of the as

roads running between Chicago, St.

osition is that the roads are compelled
to go to heavy expense and great
trouble in making the proper divis-
ions.

THE TWO DEMOCRACIES.

What will be the effects Of the election on
the Democratic party is already worrying
some people to quite an extent. The Chi
cago Chronicle, gold Democratic paper,
wants to bring about a reconciliation on a
gold basis. This will never be tolerated by
the rank and file of the silver party. The
silver party have the party organization,
and they propose, considering the excellent
fight they have made, to perfect that or
ganization, and unless the Republican party
gives us bimetallism, or by their fruits in
perity unprecedented in the history of the
United States the silver party will sweep
everything before them.-Red Wing Journal.

party is the platform of the future for the

CENTRAL'S
Reported to Be the Prospective Pos
SCISSOR of the Chicago and North
ern Pacific Terminals

Practically ten days have now rolled
away since the election opened up the
new era, and the ten days have been
revelation to the railroads all over
the country and especially those of the
Northwest. The roads of the thickIy
settled East have been doing more or
less business all the time, and the
ante-election depression was not felt
to such a marked degree as out in the
West. Consequently the improvement
in the latter territory is all the more
marked
The increase from day to day is
plainly perceptible. The growth in
traffic each twenty-four hours causes
paroxysms of delight among the stock
holders, and what is better still there
is a general feeling that the revival
is not temporary thing One and all
are assured that it has come for a
long period.
A freight official said yesterday that
the real revenue Of a railroad came
from the handling of merchandise
There is more money in that than in
any other commodity. Westbound
freight is what makes the dividends
twice as much merchandise moving to-
day as there was a month or two
months ago, and the movement has
only commenced. Westbound traffic is
assuming such proportions that to-
gether with the grain carrying trade
the roads will have plenty to do. Cars
go East loaded with grain and come
West loaded with merchandise The
gross earnings for the past month have
been greater than for the previous four
months. while the net earnings were
generally less. This Is attributed to
the fact that the movement Of mer-
chandise was practically stopped prior
to the election.
The passenger departments Of the
Northwestern railroads feel the rise
and fall Of business first, and the
freight departments second. That is
evidenced by the history of the past
week. First there came a vast army
of travelling men, who scattered all
over the Northwest. Hundreds and
hundreds of agents have cleared from
the Twin Cities. The roads also COM
menced to carry hundreds Of mer-
chants who came in for the purpose
Of selecting their own stocks. The Sc
quel soon commenced to unravel itself.
The movement of merchandise was ac-
CELEBRATED day by day until now it has
reached very satisfactory and ever
increasing volume. All Of the general
freight departments in st. Paul are
rushed with business, correspondence
and inquiries as to rates and agree
ments.
Some Of this increase, it is only fair
to state, must be credited to the prac-
teal closing of lake transportation,
which throws an added volume of
business to the all rail lines. But by
far the greater proportion comes from
the after election revival.

TWIN CITIES MAY PROFIT
BY the Approval of the Canadian
Excursion Rates.

The Northern Pacific has received ad-
vices that the Joint Traffic association
and the Trunk Lines association have
both approved Of the Canadian excur-
sion proposition, and that the Michigan
Central, the Grand Trunk and the Wa
bash had been authorized to participate
in the same, which practically means
that the Northern Pacific will have full
sanction to go ahead on the matter, az
the consent of the Western Passenger
association has been practically as
sured. This will place the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern, if the
latter enters the lists. in direct compe-
tition with the Canadian Pacific for the
excursion business. The Canadian Pa
cific was counting upon an exclusive
business along the North Shore from
Eastern Ontario and Quebec points, but
the action of the joint traffic roads
and the trunk lines in agreeing to par
ticipate, will bring much of the Ca
madam travel through the Twin Cities
and Chicago. The territory interested
is extensive.
