PATRIOTISM AND POLITICS.

Patriotism, TO the political plotter, is
worth only what can be made out of it
As DR.. Johnson held, it is a GOOD thing
for baffled scourdrels to fall back upon;
it is likewise regarded as a marketable
commodity by pothouse politicians.
Fo- instance, wher the transport
Hancock steamed into San Francisco
bay. bringing our volunteers back from
the Philippines, there were many to
welcome them home and greet them
as heroes and soldiers Only one was
on hand with an in-tfmed political
proposition to one of the battery Off
GERS, requesting the loan of his mill
tary glory for campaign purposes.
No sooner were the volunteers mus
tered out at san Francisco and well
coined home to Utah than this same
patronage peddler and political buck
ster began TO attack another citizen
soldier. who is still in the service. and
retail gossip about him for the purpose
of doing him an injury.
The motive behind these antics is
identical. It is ALI partisan. narrowly.

nomination for the mayoralty of this
city The other is made a victim of
covert, anonymous attacks because he
does not happen to agree with the boss
of the bargain counter in either politics
or religion.
There are men who would inject par
tisanship into their family prayers, if
they ever prayed; would-be political
dictators who never look at a soldier
except to appraise his campaign value,
and petty sheets whose first thought of
"a hero is whether he should be groomed
for a party race or crippled to keep
him from running.
And this explains how it happens that

IN PHYSICAL SCIENCE.
VIII. TIME STANDARDS OF THE
WORLD.s
BY HAROLD JACoBY, PHI. d.

The question is often asked, What is
the practical use of astronomy" We
Know, of course. that it would be of the
greatest value for men to study that
science, even if it could not be turned
10 any immediate bread-anu-butter use.
FOR astronomy is essentially the sci
ence OF big things; and it makes men
Digger to fix their minds on problems
that deal with vast distances and seem
lhSly endless periods of time. No one
can look upon the quietly shining stars
without being impressed by the thought
OF how they burned then as now. be-
fore he himeslf was born, and so shall
continue after he has passed away
aye, even after his latest descendants
snail have vanished from the earth. OF
all the sciences astronomy is at once
the most beautiful, POLITICALLY. and yet
the one offering the grandest and most
difficult problems to the intellect. a
study of these problems has ever been
a labor of love TO the greatest minds;
their solution has justly been counted
among mans Hottest achievements.
And Yet of all the difficult and alb
Struse sciences, astronomy is perhaps
the one that comes into the ordinary
practical daily life of the people more
definitely and frequently than any 9TH
er. There are at least three things that
we owe to astronomy which may be re
garded as quite Indispensable from a

CoNFESSES THE LIE.

Late last night The Herald received
telephone message from the manager
of the Salt Lake Tribune, saying that
paper would acknowledge editorially
this morning the genuineness of the
Washington telegram to The Herald
which the Tribune chaeged last
Saturday was bogus dispatch
written in Salt Lake The tele-
phone message also promised the
payment of the $50 which the Tri-
bune put UP for the privilege of seeing
The original dispatch on file in the
Western Union Office As soon as The
Herald receives a check for the amount
it will designate the charity which is
TO receive it
The Herald had a right to expect a
formal acknowledgement from the Tri-
bune that its charge was false. Cour-
tesy and fairness would have prompted
such a course; but it was perhaps too
much to expect from a newspaper that
is seldom courteous and never fair to
rival
The admission that the telegram was
genuine, however, settles the only i'm
portant question To charge a reputa-
BILE newspaper with forging kilograms is
like accusing bank cashier with is
suing counterfeit money. 1t was a
charge that had no excuse but malice
behind it, and the result is complete
endorsement of The Heralds news
service by its competitor.
In this connection it is proper to say
that the only change made in the tele-
gram after it was received in this Of
flee was to strike out Objectionable ad-
iectives. applied to Arthur Pratt and to
eliminate a sentence which did not
read intelligibly as it came from the
telegraph office. Both of these changes
and the reasons therefor are understood
by the Tribune.
Lying is sometimes expensive, as the
Tribune has discovered.

! Torrance unless it is taken care OF
properly. 1t is necessary to mount ii
! very firmly indeed. 1t should not be
fastened to an ordinary wall. but a
strong pier OF masonry or brick must
| be built for it on a very solid founda
! tion- Moreover, this pier is best placed
underground in a cellar. so that the
temperature of the clock can be kept
nearly uniform all the year round. For
we find that clocks Go not run quite the
same in hot weather as they do in cold.
Makers have indeed tried to guard
against this effect of temperature by in
geniouS mechanical contrivances- Eat
these are never quite perfect in their
action, and it is best not to test them
too severely by exposing the clock to
sharp changes of heat and cold.
Another thing affecting the going of
fine clocks, strange as it may seem. is
the variation of barometric pressure.
There is a slight but noticeable differ
ence in their running when the barom-
eter is high and when it is low. To
prevent this some of our best clocks
have been inclosed in air-tight cases,
so that outside barometric changes
may not be felt in the least by the
clock itself.
But even after all this has been ac-
complished and the astronomer is in
possession of clock that may be called
a masterpiece of mechanical construc-
ton, he is not any better off than was
the jeweler with his regulator. After
all even the astronomers clock needs
to be set, and its error must be deter
mined from time to time. A final ap-
peal must then be had to astronomical
observations The clock must be set

ious processes. is Immediately put
forth to see how the public receives it
financial sentiment is satisfactory.
Our local goldbug contemporary, for
instance. is afraid that Democracy will
denounce trusts next year, and it re-
fuses TO support any free silver organ
ization that would do thing like that
II forgets. apparently, that the plat
form upon which Bryan ran for the
presidency in 1896 contained an anti
trust plank. At another time it takes
alarm at the prospect of Tammany
leaders voting the same ticket with
Bryan next year. Surely it has not
forgotten that Tammany stood by
Bryan when the Tribune did three
years ago. If it has not gone back on
him since, that is more than our neigh
Dor can say. 1t is also afraid that
Henry Watterson will overcome his
anti-silver scruples and apostatize
from his imperialistie religion suf-
ficiently to vote for Mr.. Bryan. Fur
thermore, it is alarmed lest Grover
Cleveland, Mr.. Alckinley's chief cook
in 1896. should become disguised with
McKinleyism and Hannaism and con-
clude that free silver is the less of the
two evils.
If any Of these things should happen
10 happen our morning contemporary
feels that its desertion of silver and its
return to the gold organization will be
amply justified. 1t has forgotten all
about principle. 1t is watching indi-
viduals now. 1t is waiting for Eu-
ropes permission to establish a BIZ
metallic system ir this country It con-
siders free silver corpse and looks
upon Bryan as a crank whose influence
is waning. And all because Croker and
Henry Watterson are suspected of be-
ing liable to vote for him unless some
thing happens to prevent it!
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-08-23
SELF CONTRADICTORY.

1t is a common thing for our morn
ing contemporary TO contradict its news
service. 1t happens every day or so.
For instance, it cuts a sentence of
Bryan's speech in two and otherwise
disfigures it for the purpose of edit
/ orial comment. It makes out that his
| Des Moines speech conveyed the fol-
lowing impression:
If new issues arise which seem to be OF
more Importance than those of the past,
/ II Is proper for the party to give promi.
/ nence to and even use them as the basis
! or campaign.
From this our neighbor undertakes to
| prove that Bryan is thinking of Civ
ing up the silver fight.
In its report of that speech printed
next morning after its delivery. Mr..
Bryan was represented as going after
the trusts, but said if the Democratic
, party neglected the silver question to
attend to the trusts it would rightly
forfeit the confidence of the people:
the money trust is the biggest trust of
ALL"
Here is another point made by Mr..
Bryan in his Iowa speech: Last time
we were defeated by the votes of for
eign- voters. We had a majority
OF the native-born citizens The for
eigners could not understand the is
sues They did not know much about
the silver question, and we could not
get literature out to them. This time
they will understand better even than
the native-born.'
That doesn't look like an abandon
ment of silver, does it? The fact of
the matter is the silver cause is grow
ing and it is everything to the princi-
pie, to its ultimate chance of success.
whether in 1900 or 1904, that the dis
cussion be kept open, the interest be
not permitted to lag and that those
who sulk or sell out be branded for
the traitors that they are.

INvENTING EXCUSES.

All the goldbug organs Of the east
acknowledge that bimetallism is bound
10 be the leading issue in the next
presidential campaign. They point out
mat many prominent Republican
sneakers and newspapers are going
back on the presidents policy of inn
neriaiism entirely and think that the
nartv of trust protection will inveigh
against trusts in its national platform
as a matter of expediency.
But there are number of equally
enthusiastic goldbug papers published
in the west that want to straddle the
;ssue and for this purpose put in many
an hour searching through speeches Of
I,rvan and other silver advocates for
some sentence which may be isolated
from the argument and made to treat
other issues as equally important with
that OF free coinage
These newspapers are diligently
working on excuses, and every one

| called a transit" This is simply a
! telescope of moderate size, possibly five
/ or six feet long, and firmly attached to
/ an axis at right angles to the tube of
+: the telescope. This axis is held by
supports in such a way that ii points
/ as nearly as may be exactly east and
| west The telescope ITSELF being square,
with the axis. always points in a
north and south direction. 1t is pos
sible to rotate the telescope about its
axis so as to reach all parts of the
sky that are directly north or south of
the observatory. In the field of view
of the telescope certain very fine
threads are mounted so as to form a
little cross. As the telescope is rotated,
this little cross traces out, as it were,
great circle on the sky. This great
circle is called the astronomical merid-
ian.
Now we are in possession of certain
tables, computed from the combined
observations of the astronomers of the
last $50 Years. These tables tell us the
exact moment OF time when any star
is on the meridian. To discover, there
fore, whether our clock is right on any
given night, it is merely necessary to
watch a star with the telescope and
note the exact instant of the clock when
1t reaches the little cross in the field
of view. Knowing from the aStronom-
ical tables the time when the star ought
to nave been on the meridian, and haY-
ing observed the clock-time when it
actually was there, the difference is. of
course, the error of the clock. The re-
suit can be checked by observation of
other stars and the slight personal err
rOrs of observation can be rendered
harmless by taking the mean from sew
eral stars. BY an hours work on a fine
night it is possible in this way to fix
the clock error quite easily within the
one twentieth part of a second.
We have not space to enter into the
interesting details of the process by
which the astronomical transit is ac-
curately set in the right position and
how any slight residual errors in its
setting can be eliminated from our re-
suits by certain processes of computa
ton. It must suffice to say that prac-
tically all time determinations in the
observatory depend substantially upon
the process outlined above.
