WHEN THE EARTH STANDS STILL.
Something Will Happen Should Such
Phenomenon Ever Occur.

phenomenon Ever Occur
st. Louis Republic.
In the Republic on Feb we gave a
synopsis of DR.. Slavonski's queer pa
per, entitled "A Mathematical Proof
OF Immortality" One striking feature
of that article was an allusion to Prof,
Thompson's belief In the theory that
all planets will eventually come to A
standstill. In other words, that a day
Will arrive when the great system of
worlds will cease to revolve upon their
axes and to make their regular period
lcal revolutions around the sun. When
that time comes, if it ever should all
motion will cease, and the universe will
be al rest. Our finite minds cannot
comprehend such state of affairs. but
the philosophers give what they call
good proof that such an era is fast ap-
preaching. Primarily the case inter.
ests us only so far as it applies to the
motion of our own little world, but we
have been told that whatever affects
the other spokes of the great wheel
VIII surely affect us sooner or ] ter
So it isewith our world as respects the
Others. If there is "a retarding medi-
um in space" that is causing a graGuai
slowing up of the earth's movements,
as all the great astronomers declare
that same medium is at work slowly
but surely decreasing the aXial and
OtHSI illOllOHS OF the sun ana his whole
vast systems of worlds.
Newton's great mind conceived the
idea that the friction of the tides and
other forces calculated to retard mo-
ton We're having their effect on the
earth's axial as well as it's annual rev.
olutlons. but the majority of great
thinkers of his time and of the last
hundred years have argued that such
motion will continue forever. Within
hn nct do
been change Of sentiment on that
score. 1t is now pretty certain, from
calculations made by Astronomers Ball
and Hutchins, of England, and Prof.
Adams, of the United States observa-
tory, that the earth is now losing speed
at the rate of one hour every $4,000
years. When the loss is so slight. it
appears that 1t can be of no particular
moment to us. At best, we will only
live tithe of the period which it takes
to lose that hour, and the whole of the
tWenty-four hours must be lost before
motion entirely ceases. But all should
nave an interest in the ultimate fate OF
the old world and of the universe In
general; therefore. it is interesting to
know that there is as much as a min
ute lost in the course of even 100 900
years. Whatever the loss is, it event
ually means cessation of motion and
a general standstill
If this period of planetary rest should
ever come what will be the result?
Will the great worlds and suns hang
in space-the planets freezing on one
side and burning up on the other-or
will they fall down, down, down. for
ever? But let us see: In such a case
gravitation would cease to exert It's in
fuence. Then there would be no up"
or down."

PILLSBURY HAS NO CHOICE.
Would Vote for Anybody for Presi-
dental Nominee.

The Ninth Ward Republican club held an
enthusiastic Mckinley meeting last evening
at $3.50 Central avenue. The club was ad-
dressed by B. C. Gibbons, c. l.. Smith
Charles A. Pillsbury and J. Frank Wheaton
The principal speaker of the evening was
Mr. Pillsbury, who has been mentioned as
delegate 10 st. Louis. He said that as far
as he was concerned. II did NOT make any
difference which of the four leading candi-
dates received the nomination, as he did not
wish any favors from any one; but the prin-
clpal object he had in going to the conven-
tion was to work for the adoption of the rec
iprocity clause. At the close of Mr. Pills
burys address. b. c. Gibbons arose and stat
ed that he would like 10 ask Mr.. Pilsbury a
question; it was: If he went to St. Louis
would he stand for Mckinley from the be
ginning and not wait till the band wagon
came along and then climb on? To this Mr.
Pillsbury made the following statement:
III l go to st Louis | will represent my
constituents. If the sentiment is for William
Mckinley, as | believe it is at this time I
will support him as long as he has a reason
able chance of election"
At the meeting of the Republicans of the
Eleventh ward held at the Sherman hall res
Olutions were adopted declaring that the ma
tority of the Eleventh ward Republicans were
In favor of Mckinley, and that the influence
OF the state should not be diverted in the
direction Of any impossiblity." Robert G.
Evans and c. A. Pillsbury addressed the
meeting.

oays sensation In the senatorial con-
test mashed In the pan. Bitter talk
ana fru1tless ballot tell the story, and
those features have been present every
days lnce theft ght began. The scenes
however, had different setting, and
to the dramatis personae were added
about 400 blue coats from Louisville
Lexington and Frankfort. The salu-
tory effect of this military display does
not appear on the surface, because the
reason for its presence was apprehen-
sion and not the existence of violence.
Three companies of the state guard
took up their position on the state
house grounds this morning, and the
Kentucky legislators filed through pick
ct lines to their meeting places in the
capitol. The presence of this armed
force was the subject of numerous res
olutions and acrimonious debate in both
houses before and after the Joint ses-
sion.
The senate, by strict party vote,
adopted a resolution reciting the action
OF Gov. Bradley in calling out the
militia, which was declared to be with
out warrant of law, necessity or justi-
fcation," and appointing a committee
headed by Senator Goebel to inquire
into such contempt and breach Of priv
ilege," and to report to the senate for
final action. This was adopted as
substitute for q resolution offered by
Senator Bronston, violently denounc-
ing Gov. Bradley, and declaring the
purpose Of the senate to suspend all
legislation while the military guard
remained in possession Of the capitol
The house got into a tangle over a
number Of resolutions offered by both
sides, all of which were finally with
drawn.
At the joint session, one ballot for
United States senator was taken to
fulfill legal requirements after the
Democrats and Populist Poor had brok-
en- a quorum by refusing to respond
to roll call. Another ballot will be
taken tomorrow.

TURNING AGAINST SILVER.
Eddy Says White Metal Advocates
Are Being Converted

Congressman Eddy. of the Seventh con-
gressional district of Minnesota, was in town
a few hours yesterday on his way home His
children are sick, and he hurried through
with little business and started for Glen
wood as soon possible.
Congressman Eddy has changed his atti-
tude upon the silver question since he went
to serve his constituents in Washington. This
does not mean that he is not friendly to sill
Yer, but he says that the country wants none
of the silver legislation at this time and that
there are fewer and fewer silver advocates
For instance. he says that there are fewer
silver men in the present congress than in
the last and that everything points to the
fact that there will be fewer silver men in the
next congress. He says that In a few spots
there has been marked increase in the silver
sentiment. but the country. taken as a whole
shows a very material decrease

weekly Market Review.

Cotton.-The market was much quieter
during the past week than has become
usual of late; changes, while frequent,
were only over moderate range and the
volume of trading has been much smaller.
Prices for the most part were rather In
clined to weakness, the net loss for jan
uary amounting to 16 points. The chief
cause of the moderate decline was SELL
ing by those who had become tired of
waiting for an advance which appeared
so slow in coming This was assisted by
the rapid accumulation of cotton at the
ports owing to heavy receipts, while
freight room is still scarce. 1t would be
the part of prudence for the interior hold.
er not to crowd his cotton upon market
not yet prepared to readily absorb 1t. A
firm foundation for strength lies in the
growing certainty of great shortage IN
the crop. 1t can hardly be much longer
now before the reluctant trade will he
compelled to recognize the fact that the
supply is inadequate to meet the worlds
requirements at the present rate of con-
sumption. Higher prices seem inevitable
sooner or later, and it is to be hoped that
when they come it will not be after the
whole crop has passed out of the hands
of producers into those of middle-men and
consumers. 1t is probable, however, that
like the growing and the picking the
marketing of this crop will be over at
an unprecedentedly early date.
Grain and Provisions. Wheat justified

rise of about &c; the close, however, shows
only about &c advance over last week.
Speculation is extending. being stimulat-

most solely to sympathy with wheat. But
