That illustrious astronomer, Profess.
or Simon Newcomb, In an article on
Science and the Government" in The
North American Review, gives an
amusing instance Of the ignorance even
OF the most prominent politicians re-
garding the work OF the greatest scien-

1T is said that some 80 years ago the
British academy had printed few cop
tion TO some foreigners who, from their
prominence In the scientific world. were
hest entitled to be honored with the
gift. Professor Airy, the astronomer
royal, was requested to make a sclec-
tiou of the names. A few days after
he had sent in his list he was informed
by the secretary of the admiralty that
my lords were struck by the number
Of unknown names inclHded and that
they wished 10 make an inquiry on the
subject Airy asked the secretary for
some specifications as to the names re-
fcrred to.

retary, here is the name of Professor

New York, June 1o.-(Spl) w.
Van Siclen issued q pamphlet yes
tarday called, American sentiment on
the Boer war, 1t contained the re-
suits Of poll taken by clergymen, ,of
the United States on the opinion Of
their congregations with regard to the
Boer war. The clergymen were asked
to have the members of their cOngrega-
tlons subscribe to one or the other of
these two descriptions:
81. Each person whose name and ad-
dress are subscribed hereto votes In
favor of the United States offering to
mediate between Great Britain and
the two South African republics, for
the purpose of putting stop to the
war now going on
"2. Each person whose name and
address are subscribed hereto votes In
favor Of Great Britain in her war to
conquer the two South African re.
publics."
Up to June IL, Mr.. Van Siclen says
that he had received answers from
$500 clergymen. The numbers OF the
signers of the votes sent back to him
by the cIergymen stood as follows:
No. 1---106, $50; No. 2--1,345.
Mr.. Van Siclen thinks that our offer

not an offer Of mediation.

lion dollars there is now the finest capi-
to building in the world, other depart
ments to match it and library build
ing costing six millions of dollars. From
the capitol which the British tried to
destroy when they supposed they had
destroyed the American navy, goes out
the order to build navy the proportion
and quality of which keeps the whole Of
Europe on the alert TO avoid being out
classed and over matched in naval
strength.
From the Executive Mansion and de-
partments of the government which the
whole of Europe was ridiculing in its
joy over British victory, goes out a
| diplomacy that challenges the attention
of the world and arrests the Warlike
projects of covetous Emperors and
Kings. The Democracy which the Bour-
troy is now a world powrr,-as these
same Bourbons divined-both as a moral
and physical power menacing the mon
archial governmental system of the old
world--has virtually driven them from
this continent and is checking their pal
ace lootng, land grabbing schemes in the
Orient.
These are some of the typical things
which the Washington centennial COM
memorates the suggestion of which
comes with the remembrance Of the
capture and burning of the capitol nearly
century ago. AS the capitol so the
Nation. As it has grown great and
beautiful the nation has grown rich and
strong, and with these splendid grGwths,
and despite the disposition to disparage
the present in comparisons with the past,
American Statecraft has grown both
| just and wise. As the visible structures
of the Republic are bigger and more
beautiful, the invisible things are more
clearly understood, and more highly
valued by the people-the foundations of
the Republic have gone deeper as the
lsuperstructure has grown bigger.

The assembling of the Delaware legis-
lature will be the occasion of a number
of important first events Of the kind in
the history of the State. The legisla-
ture will assemble on the first day Of the
Twentieth century-the first day of the
year and of the month. 1t will be the
first Republican legislature in which
members of that party formed a ma
jority in both Houses. The Senate will
be presided over for the first time by a
Lieutenant Governor. 1T will be the first
Republican legislature having the privil-
ese and duty of clccting two United
States Senators. Govcrnor-elect Hum
will be the first Republican Governor
elected and exercising authority under
publican Governor to begin his admins
tration with legislature both houses of
which will he in the control Of his party
friends and associates. There is an op-
portunity in this for making the circum-
stances notable by Il speedy agreement
and prompt election Of two Republican
United States Senators chosen by a full
caucus of the Republican members, and
elected by a full vote of the Republican
delegation in the State Assembly. Such
an event would send thrill of delight
kirough Republican Delaware, and
would be the most fitting welcome that
could be given the advent Of the New
Century i'll this State.
