That New Star.

\ writer in the New York Sun says
that the new star has always existed in
its present place in the heavens, and
that its temporary brillimcy makes it
new He says the star was seen 10y
Tycho Brahe more than 100 years ago.
Now this must he all wrong because
when Jules Verne made his journey to
the moon he discovered the light OF this
star coming round the corner to reach
the earth. On enquiry he found the
light had been 992 years coming from
the star and that it would reach the
earth about 1901. SO what's the use in
these visionary theories, when we've got
a modern writer that has been to the
moon and knows ali about it? In this
age when men can travel as cheap as
Jules Verne could it is a great deal bet
ter to take actual observation of things
rather than to depend upon these news

of spectroscopy.

The Rev. Emerson drew a pistol on
Policeman Connors, when the officer in
terfered with the reverend mobocrat's
purpose to smash the Topeka wholesale
liquor house. Emerson closed with the
officer and fought him like an infatuated
wild beast The two we're down OH the
ground, and members of Emerson's
rioters pounded Comors with clubs and
a hammer. When Emerson got on his
feet he ran up on bank and COM
manded the riot, pistol in hand. AS a
specimen of American civilization this
will be noted by the subjects Of the
sundry effete despotisms of Europe,

1t is web to look on the bright side of
things, but it is visionary to think that
mankind have come to such degree of
refinement and civilization that the
force Of law is not as requisite and nee
essary as it ever was. As long as men
shoot, slash torture and torment each
other with savage fury and while all the
outward forms and inward savage glee
OF torture and murder are observed and
exercised the force Of law will be neces
sary for the protection Of society. 1t is
y mistake to suppose any element in
human nature is being eliminated or
eradicated. Christian civilization modi-
fies, controls and lessons the virulence of
barbarous elements but does not destroy
them And nothing grows likesthe saw
age elements in human nature when
submitted to defiance and opposition.
When a Judge or any officer Of the laws
feels himself personally injured by an
infraction of the law and that the offence
is against him personally, in short when
he feels that he is the law and poses
himself personally against the offender
then it becomes III effect mere personal
matter and if force is unnecessarily or
injudiciously employed it becomes mere

Same Old Star.

Some of our contemporaries are re-
marking on the insolence of office seek

for Consul-General Wildman's position.
This ought not to occasion any surprise,
It's the same old star lighting up with
renewed brilliancy; been there ever since
we were born.
