FAIR PAY FOR FAIR WORK.

TO the Editor of the Evening Journal
Sir: l would like to correct the state
ment of the Every Evening of yester-
day regarding the strike at Harlan and
Hollingsworth Company's shipyard
That paper said the company has lost
100000 worth of work by the strike
IL is hard to lose that much work be-
fore you get 1t. Furthermore, Mr.
Morse stated in last evenings edition
that II was all right about him saying
that a days pay he would see to give
but he refused to give a guarantee.
All the men want is a fair days pay
for n fair days work, and they don't
see where they can get other men to
do the work for the present price. They

MORE PERNIcIoUs LEGISLATION

MORE PERNICIOUS LEGISLATION
The bill TO be introduced in the Leg
islature having for its object the ex-
tension Of the terms of the present Po-
lice Commissioners is another piece OF
proposed legislation which should be
promptly squelched.
What with bills to extend the terms
Of the mayor and other city officers,
the Board Of Education and other
boards, and now the Police Commits
sion, a bill had better be introduced
entitled "An Act to Perpetuate the
Tenure of Onice OF All Office-holders of
the City of Wilmington"
The only thing such a bill can or
will accomplish at the present time
would be to legislate out Of the Police
Commission Alexander ]. Hart, who
was appointed under the present law
by Judge Grubb to hll the vacancy
caused by the expiration OF the term
of Patrick Monaghan
We have no fault to find with ex-
Police Commissioner Monaghans ad-
ministration of his office, nor
were we supporters OF Po-
lice Commissioner Hart, but Mr..
Hart is a proper person in every re-
spect for the place, and 1t would not
only be gross injustice to leglslate
him out of office, but 1t would be an
Insult to Judge Grubb who appointed
him.
We doubt much whether Mr. Mona
ghan's sense of self-respect would per-
NIT him to accept the place were he to
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. inthe manner pro-
posed. Let us have done with this
continued tinkering with our laws for
the purpose only of creating a place for
somebody or knocking out somebody.
It is disgracefu and a reproach to the
Democratic party.

sea was drawn with it's true outline,
while Herschel's views show at the
same time that great inlet which was
later named after Nasmyth, and now
is more commonly known as the Milo
syrtis. "A careful examination of Her
schel's drawings excites the suspicion
that a notable change may have taken
place at the western shores Of the
Syrtis, towards the southern extremity
of Schiaparelli'S Aeria, where Banks
cape or Hammonis cornu was probably
considerably more conspicuous in 1881
than it at present is. Schroeter's
drawings, however, made twenty
years later, give but little support to
this view.
1.-THE observations of Beer and Maed-
Ter QS30-1S4D do not increase our
knowledge of this part of the planet.
"In 1856 Warren de la Rue made some
very interesting drawings Of Mars,
one of which, dated April 20, 1856, is
particularly remarkable. Here we have
very fine view of the Hourglass sea,
with it's northern inlet, the Nilo-syrtis,
forming, where it curves westward, a
round, dark spot, to which Schiaparelli
gave the name of Coloe poluS in 1879.
The white region is not the South polar
snowcap, but rather the island of Hell

peculiar class of lands on Mars which

this position as bright as the polar

discovery of a considerable number of

1.-The year 1852 will remain forever
memorable in the history of areo-
graphy by the excellent obs ervations
Of Mr.. Lockyer, who gave us the first
really truthful representation of the
planet. Mars was then at one of its
perihelic oppositions, consequently al
most at its minimum distance from
the EARTH but unfortunately unfavor-
ably situated to European astronomers
on account of its great southerly de-
clination. Lockyer's drawings of the
Hourglass sea region is one Of the best
and establish, that in 1862 the coast
of Libya and the eastern shores of the
Hourgfass sea were very much like
what they were in 1877. Libya seemed
somewhat dusky to the southwest,
while some very conspicuous features
on it's surface are the three standings

the name of Moeris Lacus. It is PCS

but if figure, such as this colt would
bring, is submitted and the offer left
standing, he might be induced to sell.
His present intention is to send him
to England this fall with his stable
mate, Lowland, a colt of undoubted
speed and courage. Here, too, we are
apt to find an alteration of plans, I'M
less change of owners takes place.
Mr.. Belmont, Mr.. Keene, or half a
dozen others that might be mentioned,
would gladly avail themselves of an
opportunity to have their colors borne
by colt of this calibre on the other
side of the Atlantic, but with Madden
a bird in hand is worth a score in the
bush. Unfortunately the colt is not
eligible for the futurity. If he were it
would probably be a soft sport for him,
and with the rich prize to his credit,
his owner would be more inclined to
part with him. AS he stands today he
is a fortune for any man, being as he
is a most worthy representative of a
great sire. Hanover in his day rates
as horse of no mean pretensions. In
fact, Hanover is looked back upon as
one of the greatest horses that the
famous Dwyer brothers ever owned.

IDENTIFY the surface of Mars has some
fixed geographical markings, but the
stability Of the lesser details and of
the polygonations of the canal system
is so frail, that at times the changes
assume a fantastic, grotesque and al
most ridiculous character.
Il will not attempt to explain these
extraordinary phenomena, which are
besides quite ineXplicable by any ana
logieS drawn from our own earth. 1t
would be leaving the solid ground of
science for the inextricable maze of
conjecture. Vegetation offers no very
satisfactory explanation of such APP
pearances, water foundations, etc. a
positively unsatisfactory one, the oc-
casional formation of cloud over GER
tain regions an untenab bic one. Perhaps
the least improbable-not to say the
most plausible-clue to the mystery
still attaches to the over bold and al
most absurd beings, immeasurably su-
perior to man, and capable of dealing
with thousands and thousands of
square miles of gray and yellow mater

vate or destroy vegetation in a garden

owing to its remarkable dimensions
the Syrtis major was the first marking
ever detected by man on Mars The
honor of this discovery belongs to
Christian Huyghens, the distinguished
discoverer of Saturn's ring, and in
genious deviser of the first pendulum
clock.
For 120 years following Huyghens'
discovery, typography made almost no
progress whatever; but in the years
1871, 1873 and 1881, Sir William HerscheI

ate consequence of this invasion Of the
dark material was that Lake Moeris
seemed no longer situated midway be-
tween the Syrtes, but at rather less
than one-third the distance separating
the embouchure of the Nepenthes from
feature OF the 1879 apparation was a
slight shading of the southwestern
segment, of Libya.
Analogous phenomena were noted In
1SS1-1882.
1.-THE next opposition of 18S3-1SS4 was
marked by a further step in the in.
vasion of the dark material Of the
Syrtis over dusky Libya. At this time
no more than 100 miles separated the
lake from the sea, while the brightness
of Libya had undergone further d.
minution.
I'm 1886 and 1888 the progress of the
dark invasion was a very large one
A sketch by Schiaparelli shows Libya
always shaded, while the termination
of the Nepenthes canal and the shrink
age of Moeris Lacus are highly inter-
esting.
THE general configuration Of this
part OF the planet underwent no strik-
ing changes in 1890. Nepenthes was al.
ways double; but the darkness of Lib

at times, so marked as to food to dis

"A drawing taken in 1892 by Mr..
Walter Gale, at Sydney New South
Wales. shows some remarkable changes
In the Moeris Lacus and Libya regions
invaded by the expansion of the Syrts
Major.
Finally, in 1894, it would appear that
the invasion had actually reached Lake
Moeris, which, according to Mr.. Lowell
had ceased to exist as lake forming
simple bay of the Hourglass Sea.
AS, however, some observers-amid
whom Mr.. Stanley Williams, PAbbe
Moreux, and the writer-had distinctly
seen this spot at the time, it is NOR
prudent to consider Lake Moeris, or at
least its eastern half, free to some ex
tent from the Syrtis Major at the 1894
opposition
The final disappearance of the lake
into the dark material was completed
during the last apparation. Libya. as
pointed out by Mr.. Lowell in 1894, was.
after such a protracted observation

Another feature CT the 1S96-1897 an
paration of Mars in the region in cues
ton is the formation of a new canal
running from the mouth of the ancient
AstapuS to the Boreo-syrtis This canal
was for some time lately an exceeding
ly obvious marking, and in October.
