COMING INTO LINE.

In the intervals between jewbaiting,
proposals for universal peace, the over
throw of the Finnish nationality phil
anthropic schemes to alleviate the
starving Volga provinces, and forging
letters for the unfortunate Poles, the
Russian Government has time to revise
it's calendar. At the present time the
Russian calendar is twelve days be-
hind the rest of the world, and in the
year 1900, it will be thirteen. That is to
say today being the 10th of May in the
United States, Great Britain, France
and the rest of European and Christian
countries, colonies and off shoots, it is
only May 4th throughout the Empire of
the Car. This double dating is great
nuisance with all those who have any
thing to do with Russia, and at last
move is to be made to change 1t 20
bring the country into line with the
rest of Chrstendom.
Russia is not the only country which
has not accepted the Gregorian calen-
dar at once. France, Italy, Spain, Den
mark, Holland, Flanders. Portugal
adopted it in 1882; Germany in 1854;
Hungary in 1887, at which time ten
days We're omitted. Great Britain fell
into line in 1851, when eleven days had
to be omitted, and Russia still delays.
The first proper effort at giving a re-
liable calendar was that of Julius
Caesar in B. C. A. who fixed the year
at 365 days and 6 hours, every fourth
year putting in a day and having 366
days, and three years 365 days, keeping
matters exact. But the true year is not
1855 days and hours, but is 365 days, 5
hours and 40 minutes. In the lapse of
centuries this difference amounted 70
considerable, and in 1852 amounted to
10 days ahead of true time. Pope Greg
DRY Kill had the error corrected, and
further calculated forward for minute
errors. Thus the year 1900, 1900, have
not been leap years. The year 1900 will
not be leap year. but the year 200O will
be. In the year 1000 there will be a still
further correction to be made, but we
need not bother our heads about it.
1t may seem a simple thing to change
date, but preparations have to be
made and laws passed for leases, for
the duration of bills and notes, and
many business transactions. The diff
Guilty in Russia has been to find twelve
consecutive days during which saint s
day does not occur. This has made the
Greek church oppose the change. How
the latter difficulty will be overcome
papers to hand do not say, but some
unfortunate saint will go uncelebrated
this year.

money to make a start and to employ
the proper person to get them, but once
a start is made, number would be
willing to come. S. NJ. Damon has i'm
ported a few Italians as an experiment,
and reports them as thrifty, very in
dustrious, and capable of working with
ease under our tropical sun. We need
a change in our labor, here is a field.
Another field that should not be for
gotten is the Portuguese colony in
Demarara. Mention has been made in
The Star of the fact that there was a
that country on account of the agricul-
tural and commercial depression. Since
writing, further information has come
to hand which goes to show that these
people would only too gladly come to
Demarara. Mention has been made in
so prosperous community as this.
The planters must strike out into new
fields of labor, and it will be wiser for
them to get their lines laid down for
the inevitable change which must come.
The future prosperity of the country
depends largely upon the energy dis
played by the. planters in helping them
selves. during the next six months.
Money will be needed and reliable men
will rave to be sent, and in their pres
ent prosperous condition they can af-
ford the money-now. Later they may
not be so we'll situated.

There seems a difference of statement

then have publicly to retract his own
orders. or to eat that delectable meal

however denies having made any such
statement, and says he never mention

A Grocer Shot from Ambush While Out
Delivering Groceries to His Customers.
ALBION. N. Y. Sept. 14.-Horace Halpin. the
24-year-old son OF John Halpin. a wealthy
merchant OF Richey's Corners. a hamlet
two miles east OF this village. left
his fathers store early this morning to
deliver groceries to customers in the
country. He had with him $12 In small change
when he left home. and 1t is presumed that he
collected moro from customers along the route.
At about IL O'Clock this morning William
Thorpe, farmer living near Barre Centre.
came upon Halpin on a road leading through
Lattin's swamp. three miles south OF Richey's
Corners. The horses were walking and the
reins were dragging on the ground. Halpin's
head was hanging forward on his breast and
there were blood stains on the seat and grocer
les Halpin was insensible and a bullet hole in
his breast showed that he had been shot from
ambush. Thorpe drove the delivery wagon
back to Richeys Corners, but Hapin died
before reaching home. Sheriff Rice and
two deputies went to Lattins swamp.
No weapon was found in tho wagon or
on the road. Tracks in the bog beside
the highway showed that the assassin had
robbed his victim. Halpin had no money on
his person when found. posse OF over 300
farmers are securing the county for the assas-
sin.

About twenty embers ofthe Brooklyn DEM

abuse OF the President for tho conduct OF the

I'VE assert that the existing war in the
Philippines was caused by the failure OF the

islands that they would be allowed the
right OF seli-government. While insist
ing that the army shall be reinforced
and Loyalty supported in its efforts to
establish and preserve law and order. We hold
that its labors and sacrifices should be les
sened by the authoritative declaration that 1t
Ia the intention OF this Government. upon tho
restoration Of peace. to recognize the funda-
mental truth OF the Declaration of Indepen.
dence as applicable to the Philippines.
I'VE hold that those principles Of justice.
freedom and equal rights. to which this
Government was dedicated by its founders.
are not to be forsaken for the false
glamour OF military glory. that would
put on show OF imperialism-or
the economic folly that promises by terri
torial conquest and forcible aggression to pro-
mote that foreign trade which the party OF
high protection heretofore has sought to
stlfe. Least OF all should We yield to the
insidlous influence OF trusts and syn
dcates scheming for rich concessions.
which do not scrupe to sacrifice our
soldiers. to subjugate a people that of right
should be free and Independent. and then to
exploit the cheap labor OF those islands in de-
grading competition with our citizens. who
are to be burdened, with increased taxes to keep
up large standing armies.
We believe that this Government now holds
| such rights as it acquired from Spain In trust
! for tho people Of those islands to be coded and
| transferred to them whom stable government
shall have been established. We approve the
efforts OF Dom ocratIc Senators and those Re-
