AWoRI.D OF WONDERS.

The wonder of all the world about us
grow upon us continually. Science is
ever at work bringing TO light by turns
startling, pleasing and valuable facts.
Nothing since the new appliances of
electricity, as a power transmitting
agent for lighting purposes, and for
the transmission of sound through the
telephone and the like, has proved of
such interest as the Roentgen ray of
light But new discoveries are being
made touching the suns light to which
all life is dependent.
The wonderful relation of one or two
astronomical instruments now in use
to the character of invisible parts of the
solar spectrum was admirably set forth
by Professor Higgins in recent lee
ture, says the Providence Journal, be-
fore the Royal institution, London. DIR.
Higgins remarked that the rays of the
sun when received through the prism
Of the specToscope, appear to the eye
as a ribbon of rainbow, colored light,
across which are drawn a multitude of
fine black lines, representing the
screening or absorptiye effect of the
solar atmosphere, and, from the char
acter and position of these lines, the
spectroscopist is able to say what chem
ical elements in the gaseous atmos-
phere of the sun are causing this alb
But this visible portion of
the spectrum compasses but a fraction
of the total rays that are speeding to
us from the great fountain energy upon
which the life of the earth and it's fell
low planets depends; beyond the violet
end of the spectrum there is a whole
gamut of invisible rays, revealing
themselves only by their effect in pro-
noting chemical action, and, similarly,
beyond the other end of the visible
scale-the deep red-there is a gamut
Of invisible or dark rays which are
only perceived by their heating effects.
To learn the character of these mySter-
iouS dark rays the beautiful instrument
known as the bolometer is now sue
applied, and by means of
which are picked out and located hun
1reds of dark absorption lines in the
great invisible spectrum which lies be-
yOnd the ultra red" as it is termed by
astronomers

THE NEXT GREAT ISSUE.

The Washington Star of a recent late
contained an inquiry into the way the
electoral college will probably be di-
vided as between the gold standard and
bimetallism in the next presidential
election. Its conclusion is that the gold
standard viii have about 80 votes out
Of total of AL a majority being 224.
This conclusion is reached by draw
ing line along the western and south
ern boundaries Of Minnesota, WiScon-
sin, Illinois, Indian. Ohio and Mary
land, giving the gold standard all east
and north Of that line and bimetallism
all west and south of it with the eX-
ception of Nebraska, Iowa and West
Virginia, which are counted for the
gold party.
1t will be observed that this calCula-
ton is based upon the assumption that
the question between the gold stan
dard and bimetalliSm is geographical
in the form it has assumed in the
United States. This is a wrong as
sumption. In some respects it is geo
graphical, for the south and west are
producing sections, whereas wealth is
concentrated in the northeast, and
there the money power IS most strongly
entrenched. But there are some peo-
pie in the west who have not Yer
graSped the full significance of this
question and who may let party al
legiance control their action. ON the
the other hand there are manufacturers
in the northeast who see how silver's
decentralization affects their interests
and who, therefore. may break from
any party that stands squarely on q
gold standard platform.
An inquiry into the way the electoral
college will be divided depends for its
answer much upon the attitude the
great parties viii take in relation to
this subject. Should the Republican
party declare FOR gold and nominate
gold man il might be that some
strongly Republican states west of the
Mississippi river would follow the
party leadership and give their cleo
toral votes 10 the gold candidate. There
would be al the more reason To exDect !

APOSTATE CARLISLE.

In questioning the sincerity and mo-
tiyes of man for political change of
base or upon important principles af-
fecting the public interests, mistakes
are sometimes made and memo doubt
condemned unjustly. All Of which
goes TO show that we should be slow
to question the motives of man be-
cause he sees fit to amend or alter his
views upon any subject, and then, only
when the circumstances point clearly
to guilt. While there can be no rea-
sonable doubt that many public men
have suffered in this respect undeServ-
eddy at the hands of their accusers,
John q. Carlisle can scarcely be num-
bered among the suffering innocent.
His celebrated speech Of 1873 which
was PandOra'S box Of threatening dis
asters, still stands as principle free
silver witness against him, with other
witnesses Of his own creation rooping
thick upon its heels up to the day he
entered President Clevelands cabinet,
constitutes an array of evidence of
corrupt apOStaSy from cause he had
so ardently and persistently advocated,
leaves very little room for doubt that
he purchased his present place at the
expense of his integrity. The weak
and childish plea Of my salad days,
when l was green in judgment will
hardly relieve him of the stigma Of
treachery. And yet this man who
holds close communion with the Shy
locks. the usurers of Wall street, may
possibly be selected from among the
many 'Dronia'' aspirants as the stan
dard bearer to lead the Democracy to

WE WANT MoRE SHIPS.

The bill introduced in the United
States senate by Senator stephen B.
EIkins 10 amend Section 1902 OF the
Revised Statutes of the United States
is an excellent one. Ii provides for a
discriminating duty Of 10 per centum in
addition TO the duties imposed by law.

goods. wares and merchandise import
ed in foreign vessels. 1t should COM
mand the support and vote OF every
Republican in congress. If We are
ever TO adequately develop our mer-
chant marine and attain our proper pO-
sitiOn on the high seas. it is imperative
that just such an advance step as this
bill provides for should be taken at
once. When we have protected our
ships as well as our shops, we will have
no reason to fear unfriendly rivalry
from any quarter.

THE SPANISH MINISTER'S oFFENsE

Senior Dupuy DeLome, the Spanish
minister at Washington, has come dan
gerously near to committing the same
offense which caused Lord Sackville
| West to be sent back TO England in
1888, and which brought about the de-
ton. the Hawaiian minister at Wash
/ ington.
| Senior DeLome has been meddling in
| the affairs of the United States. Ever
since he came to this country he has
assumed the right 10 regulate the
course of this government with re-
Spect to the Cuban question. He has
even gone so far as to question the
right of Americans to hold public meet
ings to sympathize with the Cubans.
Now he has gone farther than that by
criticising the speeches made in con-
gresS upon the belligerency resolutions.
This was done in an interview publish
ed in a number of newspapers on last
Sunday. To be sure there is nothing
particularly offensive in the interview,
but the minister frankly declares that
number of senators, among them
MesSrs. Sherman, Morgan and Lodge,
who discussed the situation in Cuba
lacked reliable information upon that
subject, or rather that they had based
their remarks upon misinfOrmation.
Minister DeLOme makes the point Of
appealing to the common sense of the
American people and their sense of jus
tice, and admits that in doing so he
violates the prophecies. 1t seems to
us he has done more than that As
matter Of fact, the Spanish minister 10
the United States has no business 10
criticise the action of congress or the
public utterances of any member of
congress.
Minister DeLome's free criticisms in
the public press of this country of the
action of congress, and especially Of the
senate, on the Cuban question consti-
tute a serious breach of diplomatic
courtesy and prOpriety. tits not with
in the purview of his official duties to
lecture United States senators on their
opinions, sentiments, statements and
action, relative 10 his own or any other
country. The careers of foreign min
listers in Washington who have been
guilty of similar conduct have ended |
abruptly and in disgrace.

CLEVELAND AND CUBA.

President Cleveland can hardly ven
ture to ignore the opinion of the coun-
try, as embodied in the resolutions of
congress, with reference to the recog-
milton of the belligerency of the Cuban
insurgents. Such a course would be
an insult not only to congress, but also
to the people, who well-nigh mani-
mously sustain the action that has been
taken.
If Mr.. Cleveland thinks that the time
has not yet come to grant the Cuban
forces belligerent rights, he certainly
has forgotten that Spain recognized the
belligerency of the Southern COnfeder-
acy before a battle had been fought. \
st. o If war has existed in Cuba for
fully year and a provisional govern
menl WAS established months ago.
If the president fancies that he viii
gain popular support for a peryerse
policy of snubbing congress and re-
pressing American sympathy with the
Cuban patriots he will soon be awak
ened TO the fact that he has made an
egregious mistake. He viii be the
loneSomest man in America.
The political effect Of such blunder
is easy TO foresee. The demOraliZa-
ton of the Democracy which resulted
from the action of the Fifty-third con-
gress and the president on the tariff
was less disastrous than would be de-
fiance of congress by the president on
the Cuban question. IL would play
smash with what is left Of the party he
represents.
Should Mr.. Cleveland challenge con
gress on the recognition Of Cuban bel
Egerancy. he will fail in the end toOver-
ride the representative branch Of the
government II the concurrent reSo-
lutiOns are ignored. Undoubtedly a joint
resolution will be passed and, If vetoed.

If Mr. Cleveland should then continue
his obstinate resistance 10 the VIII o.

may be made TO the constitutional pro
vision which fixes = penalty for execu-
tive usurpauon-
But there Is reason 10 believe thar

such an issue with congress

THE PEERLESS PRINCESS.

II must be said for sister Wichita that
she entertained the state convention in a
manner betting her semi-royal appella-
ton of the Peerless Princess OF the Plains.
The convention adds Carey county 10 the
map of Kansas Delegates and visitors
were made 10 feel at home and nothing
was lacking 10 make their visit agreeable.
The king of Wichita, Marsh Murdoch. re-
ceived in sumptuous royal apartments and
there were apartments Of only lesser state
General Leland, etc, etc. 1t was not
quite Copeland county. but IL was the next
thing 10 it. The convention hall. while
hardly so ample as Hamilton hall in this
city, provided plenty of space and is a
well arranged auditorium. The attention
shown 10 delegates and to the several
thousand lockers on testified 10 the true
hospitality of Wichita Senator Gordon.
in fact, so stated in his speech extolling
the well known virtues of the town, and
he was applauded as warmly by visitors
as by the local delegates themselves.
There is a civic pride in Wichita that
might well be emulated by other cities.
1t is not pride that hides its light under a
bushel, but IT courts the calcium glare and
obtrudes itself aggressiveIy and ''rears
up and vaunts itself with an air of con-
fdence that compels admiration and dis
arms criticism. Wichita people stand to-
gether Wichita's vote is always unani-
nous for the Peerless Princess. 1t is the
right spirit 1t is the only spirit that
can build a city. There are some people
who have the mistaken notion that saloons
are the thing to make a great town OF
Wichita, but the thing that win build up
the metropolis of the southwest and make
it a city that all Kansas can be proud of,
If it viii come into the state and obey the
laws and play fair, is its civic pride.-To-
