Whenever some journalistic mastiir
undertakes the task of getting q pubic
man by the ear, and making both day
and night hideous with the savage char
acter of it's onslaught, all the NANCY
ours in the country attune their several
and respective Days to the keynote OF
the attacking party.
There is a great deal OF human ma
ture in dogs, and still more of the canine
characteristic in some human beings.

Mr.. Clark, who is Enthusiastically SUD
| ject to legitimate political criticism, ana
whose methods can be probably dis
cussed on a basis that adheres to the
facts in the case, is being misrepresent-
ed n lampooned to a degree wholly
inconsistent with any known rule of
journalistic equity as applied to public
men.
In connection with the Daily democ-
racy's orgie of newspaper calumny
and abuse against the copper magnate,
whose business interests it has been I'M
able to control as the price of a sena-
torial seat, the people of Montana are
freely besmirched as parties to the scan
dals recited with such infinite glee by
the press.
In the defense essayed by newspapers
friendly to Mr.. Clark the people of this
state fare but little better, for in the
nature of things "a defense of that gen.

AN AMERICAN ExCELLENCY.

1.-THE Conspirators," by Robert w.
Chambers: We found his excellency in
the dining room applying himself earn
estly to cold owl and hin wine. He
was, to my horror, enveloped in a badly
creased duster; a travelling cap lay on
the table among the wine glasses; a
Raedeker Guide to Luxembourg rested
beside it. AS I first set eyes on his ex-
cellency I understood at once that he was
not a mamie was an institution-the
embodiment of craftsmanship as under
stood in village stores; the symbol OF
patriotism as worshiped in q rural me-
tropolis; tn eaposile of culture as she is
taught.
Osborne, the attache, said that when
his white chop whiskers were neatly
brushed forward he appeared very i'm
Ipressive; at present he resembled a hun
CRY buck rabbit which had been rained
on.
He was most civil to me-a tri1e pom

H SUNS

There are many existing theories to
account for the phenomenon of the suns
bright appendage, called the corona,
which is visible only during eclipses, on
account of the absorbing effects of the
earth's atmosphere on its light. Is II
electrical, or is it magnetic? Is it COM
posed of fine stuff elected from the sun,
or of meteoric lust falling upon the sun?
Is it merely an optical effect, as some
suppose, or is it a portion of the newly
discovered radiant matter streaming Off
to enormous distances into space? The
answer to these questions is eagerly
sought through observation photography,
and every other possible means, on the
occasion of each total eclipse.
The efforts of astronomers ave thus
far secured a series of pictures of the So
lar corona. which, when compared to-
gether, show very distinctly that the
corona, as well as the spots, the %protuber-
ances, and the ~faculae, are going through
a series of changes which seem to re-
peat themselves in the so-called eleven
year period. 1t has also been proved, with
entire distinctness, that the earth's mag
netic field, as marked by the changes in
intensity of the magnetic elements, in
the auroral displays, and the earth cleo
trio currents show variations which syn
| chronize closely with those observed on
the sun; also that the weather elements
n storm intensity al harmonic with
the solar and the earth's magnetism in
the same synchronism. All attempts
of scientists to detect any variations in
the sunshine which falls upon the trop-
les ave been entirely futile. On the
other hand, it has been shown that the
magnetic forces having the characteris-
tics just mentioned impinge upon the
earth in a direction perpendicular to the
plane of the earth's orbit, just as if the
sun, being a magnet, throws out a field
of force to the surface of the earth,
which, by it's variation depending upon
the internal workings of the sun, pro-
duces the changes enumerated in the
earth's atmosphere and in it's magnetic
field, being, of course, strongest near
the sun. The belief is gradually growing
among scientists that THE earth. the sun,
and the planets are all magnetic bodies,
and have these bonds Of connection be-
tween them in additian to the Newtonian
gravitation. This is a most fascinating
field of research, and, though full of diff
iculties, yet attracts the attention of
many who are convinced that one of the
most pressing duties of the hour is to
clear up the problems connected with
the transmission of energy from the sur
to the earth in other forms thar the Or
binary or sunlight radiation. It is en-
tirely probable that the secular varia-
tions of the Gather changes from year tc
year, and even from mont to month
are bound up with these solar forces
and that the solution of these questions
will carry with them much information
of practical use to civilized man.

CONG AND COMING.

The Clark case is being fought out in
the press throughout the country quite
as much as it is at homeland with just
about as much effect.
With the pace set by a number of
Standard Oil newspapers, many lesser
lights in the journalistic world have
taken up the cue and are roundly abus-
ing Mr.. Clark in all the v~ariegated hues
of the rainbow.
Another set of journals are just as in
dustriously a%ccrediting that gentleman
| with some rights in the premises, and
maintaining a position in favor of fair
] play regardless of what the final results
may be.
In a country town one often sees some
en~terprising dog of doubtful lineage saw
agely fly out into the street. with his
bark in full working order. in an ap-
parent effort to clear the thoroughfare
of some patient ~pedatory COW. or Other

our soldiers and our tlag-a duplication
of the arrogant court of the British

The attempt to create a purely senti-
mental, f~ar-fetehed and Illogical issue on
such grounds reacted, and today the
democracy would gladly withdraw its
| record of copperheadism and rank trea-
could it do so-not as a matter OF regret,
but for prudential reasons in the impend-
ing political contest.
Still hunting for an issue, however, like
a lost soul hunting ice, the democratic
| party seizes upon another sentimental
proposition which-like the Aguinaldo
business-will be worked to the limit. In
the knowledge that considerable sym
pathy for the Beers exists in this coun-
try, ans that the opportunity presents it
self for a passion to be torn to tatters in
exploiting the assumed wrongs of the un
der dog in any fight, the demoeracy-as a

raign the republican party for not agar

PaRALLELS AND PRECEDENTS.

Insofar as the conditions agree, pres
ent and past events may be safely
paralleled, and actions formerly taken
accepted as ~precedents either to be fol-
lowed or avoided, as the case might be.
But political situations often develop an
abnormal appetite for precedents, with
out reference to applicability, in order
to work on the imagination or the senti-
mental feelings of the public.
With no business issues with which to
appeal to the sober judgment of the peo-
pie, in the face of existing prosperity all
along the line, the democratic party is
working desperately to arouse senti-
mental resentment against the republic
can administration by the application of
irrelevant Illustrations and precedents
that do not dovetail with the facts. For
instance, during the height of the Fill
Pine insurrection, when our soldier boys
We're being shot down in the jungles of
Luzon by the Tagal banditti, a sys-
Fanatic effort was made by the demo-
ANtiS t@t w SAo"S> P"''tS
III behalf of Aguinaldo and his cause.
TIA this effort been confined to logical
disquisitions on the actual or u
merits of the case, the democratic party
would have stood out before the Ameri-
can public as an organized movement
against the peace and dignity of the ma
ton. But a sentimental system of reach
ing a conclusion was adopted, in the
aope of touching the American heart
when the American head could not be
reached.
After dropping a few fresh tears on the
grave of Washington, and challenging
respect for the encomiums thrown at
that particular niche in history occu-
pied by the father of his country, they
~ndeavored to show that A%guinaldo was
likewise the hero of a people struggling
to be free. He, ~too-peace to his ashes,
after he gets into thai condition-was a
George Washington, fighting against a
foreign oppressor in the shape of ole
Mckinley, the King George of a brutal

ignorant, yet cunning and crafty Taga
chieftain held up before the American
people as a political replica Of the great

savage hordes at his heels-conceded t.

ment, even by Bryan himself-were ad
Sertised as modern counterparts, as i
were, of our forefathers, who suffered a
Valley Forge, planned victories in tn
1wamps of the Carolinas, and gave Go
the credit when the sword of Cornwalli
fell.

SEARCH RESUMED FOR
GEORGE EYRE'S BOAT

Chester. Pa. May 10.-The trial Of
Jim" and Amos Pierce for the MUIR
der of George b. Eyre, the young club
man OF this city, will take place at Me-
dia in June at the regular session o.
the Criminal Court, and between now
and then Chief Berry proposes to make
systematic search Of the murdered
mans skiff supposed to have been
sunk in the immediate vicinity Of the
murder.
Chief Berry, accompanied by Officers
Syfrit and Griffith, yesterday renewed
their search in the river, in the vicin-
ity OF the Alpha Boat Clubhouse, on
the Delaware shore. Although the tes-
timony Of Mary COwan is to the effect
that Jim" Pierce confessed TO her the
boat was sunk near the mouth of Rae
coon creek. on the Jersey shore, the
chief thinks from a review Of the tes-
timony Of witnesses TO be produced at
the trial that the boat may be found
on the Pennsylvania side Of the river.
Nothing was discovered in yesterdays s
search. To facilitate the work the
county may employ a diver.
