ANDERsON's NEW STAR.
Account ofthe First Observation Made
at Ltek Observatory.

Lick Observatory, Col, February 30
III he following IL furnished by Prof. W.
W. Campbell, astronomical directorss
"our frtt opportunity for securing OBJ
servations Of Anderson's new star, dis
covered in Edinburgh on the sist. oc-
CURED Sunday forenoon. The star was
easily found In full sunlight with o
twelve inch telescope At ii M, II was
fully half q magnituds brighter than the
first magnitude star Uapella with which
it was compared.
"At D. M, is was fully half a magni-
tude fainter than Capelia, a decline Of a
whole magnitude since noon. Its bright
ness continued to decrease throughout
the evening.
"Its accurate position as observed by
Prof. Tucker Is; Right ascension three
hours, thirty-four minutes, twenty-eight
seconds and deoIination forty-three de-
gress. thirty three minutes and ffty-iour
seconds.
1.-The star has been observed with the
Mills speotrosoope. Its spectrum is pecu-
liar in that 1t contains no trace OF either
bright or dark lines in the blue and vio-
let. lite light appears TO be strictly oon-
tinuous though few extremely broad
bands exist. This is very unusual in the
case OF u nsw star. This new star can be
seen by all in the constellation perssus Of
which it is now the brightest member"

CURRENT COMMENT.
MOB Law In KANSAS.
(Springfisid Republican. }

A curious situation may be noted In
kansas. A mob formed at Topeka TO
lynch negro; another mob, organized
for the equally lawless purpose of smash
ing joints, - offered to lend aid TO the
law In protecting the negro, whsreupon
Mrs. Nation, VINO happened to be CON
fined in the same jail with the lynohers'
intended victim, proclaimed that her fol-
be enforcers Of the law--thas is. OF such
part or the law az they want enforced.
But can Mrs. Nation explain Just how
the recent shooting OF a woman "jointist''
by armed crusaders differs from the pro-
posed lynoning at Topeka or the accom-
plished heathenism at Leavenworth
Saloon-smashing has no legal leg to
stand on In Kansas. II there has been
doubt as to the lawlessness or the proceed
ing-whioh is unlikely. inasmuch as the
common law right of AN individual to
ahate q public nuisa noe, on which 1t was
supposed Mrs. Nation based her claim to
freedom of action, has been expressly
abolished by statute-there can no longer
be any excuse for mob law methods.
The legislature has prohibition enabling
act, popuIariy the s'inquisition bill, ="
which, by making nuifance out OF any
place where liquor is Msgally sold and
giving the county attorneys power to
subpoena any person and compel him to
give evidence, has provided effective legal
methods OF suppressing the Joints"

70 The Editor qf the Pl.sss:

10 the Editor Qf the Press:
1 notice you have given me the first po-
sition on your editorial page for several
mornings. AS the notices are mislead-
ing wish TO state few fscts for the
benefit of your many readers. In the first
place there was general dsmand for a
Citi zsns' ticket, as was evidenced by the
very large number OF influential citizens,
regardless OF party, who signed the call.
In the second place the machine poll
tician clearly discussed the situation and
wers greatly frightened as evidenced BY
the strenuous endeavor or the machine
in securing the refusal of certain OF the
candidates to sign the nomination ua-
pers. Also by their failure after repeat
ed canvnsses OF various eligibles to secure
a candidate, which neosssitated the ad-
Journment OF the convention to the fol-
lowing day, and then were successful on
iy after exchanging several kilograms In
securing the privilege OF nominating the
present candidate. We all recognize the
splendid personal character of MIR. Booth
by but IL is not clear that a majority OF
the citizens OF Portland deem IL desirable
or advisable to place at the head OF our
City tiovernment map who by every
business relation must be ex-parte 60 the
corporation of which he is an executive
officer, We would rather It appear that
a ma ajority Of the oitizsns would prefer
a man who can In no wise be oompro-
missed as against the greater interest OF
the city in any emergency. That some
emergency might arise In which we
should need q man for mayor who 10 In
no way connected with any corporation
seeking favors from the city ID more than
a probability. The sale Of the Marginal
Way Co the Boston and Maine railroad
is a case In point, with which deal we
do not think majority of the citizens
are ct all satisfied. Ii would seem TO me
that the wiser method would have been
liked annual rental determined by the
which rental should be increased rs the
location value increased. This would
have given the city source OF perma-
nent Income and would have been the
beginning of the resumption OF fran
chises by the city OF Portland, which
must come. The above are some Of the
reasons why l shall take great pleasure
in supporting John +. A. Merrill for
mayor.
/ am yours,
L. s. FOSSETT.
I'VE congratulate Mr. Merrill on this
notification that he is TO receive the sup
port OF the entire Citizens party, consist
ing OF one--unum sed leonem. II there
were any doubt as to his fate before there
is none now.l

Somebody connected with the Ameri-
can Ice Company gives to the Kennehec
Journal these reasons why the company
has cut no Ice in Maine this year:
1.-The American Ice Company thinks
the Mains legislature discriminatsd
against the company by refusing to grant
&c a charter, forcing IL to secure a charter
In New Jersey, which is now the home
of the company. The officers thlnk,
everything else being equal, that 1t is the
duty OF the company to do business In
the state which granted 1t the privilege
which the Maine legislature denied.
1.-The failure of the Maine people to
encourage this important industry has
driven thousands or dollars out or the
state that otherwise would CONS from
other states to our workmen. 1t is esti-
mated that over $500, ,0OO WAS paid our
workmen for labor, and our farmers and
traders for supplies furnished vessels
carrying ice, In the year 1898, besides
nearly $780, 900 60 our boats, for towing
the Ice vessels.
''rhe coal dealers say they have been
able to get low rate OF freight on coal,
because the vessels ooulc get ice back to
a coal port, but If there 10 no return
freight they Will be obliged TO pay more
freight ON coal, which will force them to
raise the price of GOAL.
1.-The machines for making Ice have
Deen so improved durlng the last ten
years. that the natural ice men must
have every advantage that oan bs given
them IN order to compete with the ma
chine ioe. When full crop can be So
cured nearer the point OF consumption,
n saving of freight and meltage can be
made. AS an offset to this, the superior
quality OF Kennebeo ioe, which has the
preference in all places where 1t was ever
ussd. comes in to partly meet this differ
ence. This makes it 80 evenly balanced
that the Maine people can hold the bust .
ness here, or easily drive 1t away"
1t seems, then, that the controlling
reason was to punish the Maine legisls-
ure, and through 1t the people of Maine,
for not affording the trust the legislation
which 1t desired. This Is a new manifes-
tation of the tyranny OF the trust Ere.
qusntly 1t has been accused of furnishing
individuals who dared to defy it or re-
fused 60 guccumb to iJs at
tempts at coercion, but here ia an
attempt to punish whole
State-to break up business In which
thousands OF people have In the past
gained a livelihood, to punish a legisIa-
ture for not granting the legislation that
is desired. This is tyranny by the whole
sale

There is a growing impression that the

haps they will be grateful yet. The con
stitution Of a country is not document
IN which expressions of gratitude are In

In vain to discover any recognition OF tns
services that France rendered US in the
Revolution. 1t would be better TO wait
