Who Can Grasp the Infinite P

The New York Sun, as many know,
is not always infallible. 1t is some
times under the shadow of an intellec-
tual eclipse as it undoubtedly was a
few days ago, when in answer to a
qucrist who asked ais there limit to
srace?" it made this reply: "There
is limit to space, but it has not vet
been measured"
In dealing with the infinite, there
must OF necessity be much guess-work,
but for the Sun to hazard so definite
an opinion upon matter it admits is
unproven, and in conflict with the de-
auctions OF profane and sacred writer's
OF all ages, seems to be an act of super
erogation. All those authorities agree
that the works of God are infinite. As
space is only the workshop of Deity, it
must be as boundless as the extent OF
the physical universe, as illimitable
and everlasting.
1t is one of the fundamental tenets
OF astronomy that there is neither
frontier nor barrier to extension in
right line projected in any direction.
The absolute stability of the stellar
cosmos is predicated upon the eternal
existence and endless continuity of
matter. Space is not part of some
thing, but the whole of everything,
and as containing element it is man.
ifestly the aggregate and sum total of
all infinities. Let it be granted that
ray of light flashing 100000 miles a
second, should in some millions OF
years impinge against the boundary
wall of creation, the query comes I'M
hidden, how thick are those walls?
And then, after human intellect has
tunneled them, what is there beyond?
A deaf mute in one OF our Eastern
colleges was sent to the blackboard to
write definition Of eternity" Seiz-
ing the crayon he dashed off the
words, "The lifetime of God" A
course of reasoning quite analogous is
applicable to the measurement of the
voids of space.
The subtitle essence of human
thought comes about as near all we
know of these matters as anything
within the pale of physical or meta
physical research, and it is folly to at
tempt to 20 beyond an effort which
exhausts the brain as quickly and
completely as the rays of the uncloud-
ed sun paralyze the eyesight of the
intrepid observer in an attempt to
pierce its mystery.
Finite reason may declare that
there must have been beginning
some time, and there will be an end,
later on, because we measure all things
by memorable rules stated in the hook
of philosophy whose seals have scarcely
yet been broken, but when we consider
the attributes of Deity-supreme wis
dom, infinite power, omnipresence and
omniscence-we must not seek to faith
ON or measure the results of ineffable
wisdom by the imperfect knowledge
We possess of Nature and of Natures
laws.

THE 0. r. & N. company have built a
crack steamer for the Portland-Astoria
route, which promises to exceed any
boats on the river for power and speed.
Her cylinders are 4S inches diameter
and IA feet stroke; her wheel 40 feet
in diameter. Her length is over 200
feet, and she is elegantly fitted for pas
sengers. Her name is the Hassalo and
she is intended for service against the
railroad which parallels the river be-
tween those points. She had build
ers' trial trip. Sunday, and easily made
81 miles per hour, and as she was not
worked up to her limit this speed will
doubtless be increased when her ma
chinery is limbered up. Some COM
parison of her power may be instituted
when we state that the Multnomah, a
moderate boat for speed, has 16-inch
cylinders with a stroke of only Sin
feet.

Policy VS.. Passion.

1t is indeed strange how inconsis.
tent some would-be great newspapers
can be. 1t is remarkable how journals
that claim great circulation and COM
handing influence may be detected in
blowing hot and cold in the same
breath when closely watched and
tab" is kept OF their utterances.
Now it is the Tacoma Ledger which
is trying to "square itself" with the
people of the capital city, whom it so
roundly abused during the session of
the Legislature, few weeks ago. In
Sundays issue OF that paper, the willy
editor substitutes honey for oil of Wit
riol to placate and curry favor with
our people. 1t says:
"Olympia is expecting a BOOM" says
a gentleman who has just returned from
the State capital. Good for Olympia.
She is entitled to boom, for now that
the Legislature has adjourned the peo-
pie of that beautiful city have turned
their attention to legitimate business in
stead of devoting all their energies to
securing crumbs, or, rather, whole
loaves, from the legislative table. No
city in the State will be more gratifed
at the prosperity of Olympia than Ia
coma. The Ledger is glad TO see that
the hustling people have turned their
energies in the right direction, and will
be glad to chronicle their success"
Note the gushing words, GOOD for
Olympia; "That beautiful city,;
" The hustling people" etc, and then
compare them with those anathemas
hurled at our people during the capt.
tai bill fight only few days before
adjournment of the Legislature. Such
language as this was then found almost
daily in the Ledger: "Well, it is time
the capital of Washington was removed
to some more accessible point than poor
old sleepy Olympia, situated away off
in such byway corner of the State"
And this, at is surely bad enough
for people to pass through that town
without being compelled to stay in
such place during the session of
Legislature"
Now Olympia, the "beautiful" is
in no immediate need OF aid from any
paper published in the little city of
dubious destiny, and much less from
the Ledger which would have gloried.
few weeks ago, in seeing the capital
swallowed up by political earth
quake.
