PHILADELPHIA Record.

Philadelphia Record.
The world has entered upon the last week
of a peculiar leap year month-the last
twenty-nine-day February which IL viii have
for eight years. Why should not 1900 be
leap year? The reason lies in Pope Greg
ory's correction of the old Julian calendar.
In 1882 Pope Gregory discovered. that, owing
TO the excess of the ancient system, IL was
necessary to discount an overtime OF ten
days; for julius Caesar had taken no ac-
count of the forty-four minutes and forty
seconds taken for granted every leap year
beyond the real solar period The Pope de-
creed that the 9Th of October in that year
should be the 18th. Now. having corrected
the error of the past until that date. Pope
Gregory set about to prevent its occurring
in the future. The gain of eleven minutes
ten seconds per year was equivalent 10 three
days in four centuries so that III three OF
every four centurial years be skipped as
leap years the calendar and the earth would
ever afterward keep step through time. He
decreed. therefore. that only. those centurial
years which are Invisible bu 400 shall DO
leap years. These changes used TO be known
in England as "Gregory's mixture" But In
spite OF Pope Gregory's excellent figuring,
we are gaining a trife yet: and II is .estl-
mated that by the year 1000 we shall have
gained day. To remedy this IL Is proposed
TO skip the year 1000 as leap year, ale
though IL will be dysible by fc0.

REPUBLICANS IN CHARGE.
They Now Have Control of Clark
County for First Time ON Record.

County for First Time On Record.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Feb. A-To-
day William Goodwin, Republican county
clerk-elect took charge of his Office, and,
for the first time in the history OF Clark
county. 1t will be almost entirely in charge
OF the Republicans. A majority OF the
Board of Commissioners, an auditor, clerk.
sheriff, recorder, surveyor and assessor
were elected at the last general election.
besides Republican Representative, joint
Representative and joint Senator. So great
was the change. and so much
out OF the ordinary Is 1t to
have the county affairs in charge of
Republicans, that the public can hardly
realize what 1t means. 1t semes to be the
consensus of opinion that the change Is
wholesome. The Republicans are conduct
ing the affairs for the best interests of the
people. and IL will be a long time before
the Democrats are again enabled to capture
the county The candidates for the various
offices are beginning to announce them
selves for positions on the Republican tick
ct with celebrity which Is refreshing aid
strongly in contrast TO the reluctance tor
merly shown in accepting Republican NOM
nations here. ~ few Democratic candidates
are making their appearance, but are not
pressing their claims. Hon. III. c. Poindex-
ter is announced as Republican candidate
for joint Representative from Clark. Scott
and Jennings, and Hon. L. A. Douglass,
the leading Republican attorney Of the
county Will doubtless be nominated for
joint Senator from Clark, Scott and Jeffer-
son.
The race for Congress is not exciting much
interest, except among the Democrats, there
being three or four candidates. S. NJ.
Stockslager, in card stating that the
Democratic dissensions in Harrison county
go Republican, announces his withdrawal,
as Judge Zenor Is also a candidate.
