Merely IL Coincidence.

~ NJ, regrets TO find the esteemed
[ Omaha World Herald in
fault-finding and cynical mood.
The goldized newspapers of the East
are fain to look upon the World-Herald
as Mr. Bryan's personal organ and 70
attack its sturdy arguments for bimet-
allism as emanatng from the grand
young man. The World Herald is used
to this sort of thing and rather likes II.
But day or two ago it woke up TO find
itself assaiied by half the republican
newspapers Of the country, each Of
which went for it with a leading edito-
rial the language of which, word for
word, was Identical in all. From
Maine to California, from the head
waters of the Mississippi to the Gulf of
Mexico, the country republican news
papers as with one accord jumped the
World Herald simultaneously and YER
batim. The Omaha paper is suspicious
enough to think that all these editorials
had a common origin, somewhere not
far from Wall street, that in fact one
man wrote one editorial and caused IL
to be sent broadcast to all the news
papers in the land that are addicted to
boiler plate, the gold standard and sim
liar vices. We can hardly credit this.
But ii Is little singular that the minds
Of the republican editors of America
who are so intent on saving the nation
al honor and commercial honesty should
all run in exactly the same groove.

The inevitable tea table has left its

The King and the Com Of.

Cassini, an italian by birth. was the
best known of the astronomers of the
Paris Observatory when founded by
Louis XIV, and, in consequence, pos
terity has very generally supposed he
was the director. That he failed to
be such was not from any want of
astuteness. It is related that the
monarch once visited the observatory
to see newly discovered comet
through the telescope. He inquired
in what direction the comet was going
to move. This was a question it was
impossible to answer at the moment,
because both observations and COM
putations would be necessary before
the orbit could be worked out. But
Cassini reflected that the King would
not look at the comet again, and would
very soon forget what he had told him;
he therefore described its future path
in the heavens quite at random, and
with entire confidence that any devia-
tion of the actual motion from his pre-
diction would never be noted by his
royal patron. Atlantic Monthly.

"Yes," exclaimed the grateful mother;

Company, and allowing purchasers to

elsewhere, was also discussed at length.
1t was agreed to, with provision that
it should not be construed as recogniz-
