WILLIE HEARST'S POLITICS.

The action of the Examiner in turning
abruptly from campaign for free silver
and free trade to give to a Republican candi-
date for United States Senator every form
OF support which its coarseness can devise
or its peculiar "sense of humor" suggest
is no accidental inconsistency. 1t is
part of the political policy mapped out for
his papers by Willie Hearst in the begin
ming of the canvass and maintained with
as much show of decency as they are capa-
BILE of by both the Examiner and the New
York Journal ever since.
We reprint this morning an editorial OF
the New York Journal of July 10 of last
year in which the Hearst policy is clearly
stated. In that article 1t is declared 70 be
the duty of Democrats to vote for Bryan
for President and goldbugs for Congress,
or. as Mr. Hearst put it, ''sound-money
Congressman and the National ticket"
Thus it was designed for the Examiner and
the Journal to play clever trick upon
both the Democratic party and the public.
1t will be rememb bered the EIdmi7ser gave
little encouragement and no effective sup
port to Democratic candidates for Congress
during the campaign, and is now scorr-
fully refusing to give even compliment
tary mention to any Democratic aspirant
for the Senate.
Mr.. Hearst's policy, therefore, while in
consistent with any established rule OF
political morality, is at least consistent
with itself. 1t has the element of numor
in 1t In the same sense that goid-brick
swindie may be accounted practical joke.
II 1t were possible to eliminate from the
mind tie consciousness of the rascality
which prompted such policy there would
be amusement in watching the antics by
which it has been carried out.
Fresh from a campaign in which it
made every effort to array labor against
capital, in which it denounced every cor
poraion as conspiracy against the poor,
and portrayed every member of q corpora
ton as an oppressor of workingmen,
robber OF the needy, public plunderer and
human hog, the Examiner, with total
disregard for the public ''sense of humor, !"
now turns round, and with, an equal
fierceness OF vituperation advocates the
election to the Senate of man who is at
once a member of corporation and a
millionaire, and therefore the sum of all
which but short time ago it had been
denouncing as the blood-sucking plu-
tocracy which is running the country"
When Willie Hearst demands the ad-
vocacy of such policy of duplicity by his
papers it is not to be wondered that they
take to sensations as 10 strong drink. 1t
is not strange that to them hippancy
should be better than seriousness and the
ridiculous more desirable than dignity.
Being called upon to exercise not merely
versatility and agility OF mind, but all
sorts of erratic antics, it is but natural
result that the Examiner and the Journal
should regard the world as circus, them
selves as the biggest clowns in it. and be-
come SO enamored of their fooIing as to
demand that Senators of the United
States should be elected solely for their
''sense of humor."

3, except that the less foreshortened view
showed 1t to be of unusual size, and measure
ment proved that it was but few degrees
south of the suns equator, an unusual posi-
tion, as the equatorial zones are generally free
from spots. The umbra of spot, probably de-
pendent on the direction of the surrounding
movements, takes many shapes, being often
oval, triangular. pear-shaped, ETC., and the re-
semblance of this large umbra to flower with
protruding streamers was quite remarkable on
the morning of January 6. 1t lost this form

when near the cen ter of the disk and free from

found to be about $4,000 miles in length,

tended more than 1OO.0 900 miles in north

In telescope view the dark umbra shows

the disk, and this present spot may be devel-
opment of that group, as such phenomena
often continue near the same point for weeks
or months, reappearing at the east limb about
every TWENTY-FIVE days, as the vaporous lumi-
nary rotates on its axis. Prediction, how
ever, is impossible as solar activity is htful,
especially at this stage of the eleven-year
cycle. The large spot of last Septem Der,
though in the suns northern hemisphere, was
also in the equatorial zone, which unwonted
positions may have some significance in con-
nection with the approaching sunspot mini
mum in 1S9S-99. As that stage of comparative
inactivity is gradually attained the surface is
free from spots for days and weeks at time
during the preceding years. though as at
present an occasional great disturbance shows
that solar storms are only partially subject to
the unknown restraining influence that Gre
ates the eleven-year cycle.

MODERN AND ANCIENT EGYPT.
A Charming Entertainments by the Rev.
Hassett Smith of England.

Hassett Smith of England.
The auditorium of the Young Mems
Christian Association was fairly well filed
last evening by those who appreciate good
things of the intellectual variety. Rev.
Hassett Smith of England delivered an
other of his interesting lectures, illustrated
by stereopticon views. His subject was
Egypt" and though many have spoken
and written of that remarkable country
still the Rev. Mr.. Smith presented his sub
iect in a manner that never gave rise to
the thought that it was tale told many
times.
The speaker had travelled over Egypt
many times, and being a scholar in the
true sense of the word be was able to tell
of what he had seen and of what he knew
of its history its rulers, people, customs
and its boundless wealth OF monuments,
etc. In all of this the stereopticon played
no small part, for it assisted Mr.. Smith in
taking his audience to Cairo, up the Nile,
to the pyramids, to the ruins OF ancient
Memphis, Thebes, and to the University
of On, that existed more centuries than
the modern colleges have years. 1t IS
rarely that the ancient history of coun-
try is so ably presented as by this gentle
man, for by the aid OF his fine views he
took his audience back through the ages,
or rather brought the past ages up to the
resent for their entertainment.

ture who received the nominations OF
county conventions which at the same
time passed resolutions instructing their
nominees TO his support. These thirty
five men were present at the alleged caucus
of last Monday night. The remaining

The question which presents itself is
this: Suppose the caucus had been at
tended by all OF the Republican legislators
and that the majority of its members
had voted in favor of another man than Mr.
Perkins, would the thirty-fve instructed
Perkins men have. been bound thereby
Would not the managers of Mr.. Perkins
fight have at once claimed that caucus
could not compel members OF the Legis-
ture to violate their former pledges?
Would the instructed men not have re-
fused to act in accordance with the will of
the caucus upon the ground that it did
not accord with the will of their constitu-
ency? Would the action Of the caucus
not have been entirely nullifed by this
view on the part of the instructed portion
of it2
1t must be evident that such would
have been the case. and, being SO,
the query arises, What kind of a eau
