a BLOW AT TIE PEOPLE.

The turning down Of the state tax
commission is very serious matter.
The commission could not have been
more ausplcously started, nor its per-
sonnet more calculated to command
respect. But with its prestige mar
red by reckless disregai d of its con-
illusions, with feeling in the mind
of legislators that the commissions
| findings are no more binding, no
weightier than the recommendations
of any other three men, Il precedent
is set which threatens to nullify the
commissions work and ever presage
its demolition. Once shatter this
commission and not for decade or
more will Wisconsin enter upon an
other scientific and non-partison at
tempt to equaliZe taxation. The
commission method is recognized as
the right way to affect reform of tax
alton. Wisconsin started right but
enemies side-tracked her. The Mil
waukee Journal and the Milwauk ee
Sentinel have great deal to answer
for. They have, with the aid of de-
signing lieutenants and careless leg
islators, struck blow at the peoples
interests-and nothing comes closer
to them than just taxes. With the
Gilsou-C Curtis Haugen Commission
discredited, Wisconsin citizens will
sit helplessly on their launches for
a dozen years and the present injus-
tees in taxation which led to the in
stitution of the commission con-
tinue unmitigated. If its findings as
to corporate taxation are rejected, no
sensible man anticipates that its rec
concentrations as to personal prop
erty Will be any moro popular or ac-
ceptable.-M Madison Democrat.

DISCOVERY IN ASTRONOMY.
Will Make Professor Ritchie of Yerkes
 Observatory Famous.

Chicago, Nov 20.-Prof Ritchie of Yerkes observatory is reported to hlso made a discovery i'll astronomy which will make himself and the observatory world famous. The discovery, in brief, is the proof of what is known as the Nebular theory of creation announced by the famous Frenehman, La Place, and of the theory that the solar sys- tenn. and even star clusters, have been formed by millions of years of slow evolution from great bodies of gaseous matter floating in space. It is also held that proof had been adduced of the theory that q nebula, with a star for a nucleus, changes it's shape and the quantity of light it emits, and that these changes are so rapid as to be ob servable within the compass of few hours.
 Astronomers have long believed that the nebulae were the matrices Of solar systems and star clusters like our own, but no observer has been able to see the slightest sign of change in tiIe structure. This has now. been done by Prof Ritchie. who is engaged in preparing for technical journals an an nouneement of his discovery.
 The celestial object upon which Prof Ritchie has made his observations is the mysterious star, Nova of Perseus, which suddenly appeared last Febru- ary in the northern sky, blazing with strange light in a place where there had been no star before. Its light rapidly increased until it became a star of the first magnitude. Then it grad ually faded away until now it is only of the sixteenth magnitude. At pres ent it is almost invisible to the unaid- ed vision.
 On the night of September 20 Prof Ritchie photographed Nova of Perseus by means of the twenty-four inch re- t'""toF' af inc observatory. The mega tive disclosed the fact that the star was surrounded by a nebula. q fact which had been previously shown by another observation. But on the plate made by Prof Ritchie. after an expos ure of three hours and fifty minutes. there were two fairly dense wisps nf nebulOsity toward the west, with q curve to the north, merging into he convulsions of the nebula. This was q startling fact. but Prof Ritchie pa tiently waited for q favorable night to secure another negative. The looked for opportunity came last Wednesday night. November B. when for seven hours Prof Ritchie exposed his plate to the light of the mysterious star. When he looked at the negative he b. served q fact in which he at once recognized the proofs so long sought and so ardently wished for by obsarv- CTS everywhere The spots of density in the west field of the nebula had moved
 Never before has this amazing fact been found and Prof Ritchie who at once saw the immeasurable impor- tance of the discovery he had made, was gratified beyond words

An iden- tification card bearing the name of Charles NJ. Kinney was found. on the dead man. The card was guarantee from the International Registry com pany for expenses of caring for Kin ney in case of sickness or accidents. The money left in the safe was all found under the debris.

 Rome. Nov 20.-The stories that have been current lately to the effect that practical regency exists at the vatican. and that the pope. because of his health, is not attending to any business, are officially denied. Instead the pope is jealously afraid that his subOrdinates supect that he is failing. He is more exacting than ever, insist ing on scrutiniZing even the smallest details of the vatican business. He is especially keen in supervising Cardinal Rampolla's papers. knowing that the papal secretary of state is not always discreet.
 The other day when instructions were sent to the nuncio at Paris rela- tive to Catholic interests involved in the French-Turkish claims, Rampolla having previously discussed them yer bally with the pope, sent the latter a written copy as q matter of form. The pope found the literary construction defective and discovered a few small inaccuracies.
 He made other extensive corrections so that the negotiations were delayed for day. to Rampolla's chagrin.
 One of the vatican attendants, speaking of the pope's wonderful vi- 1ality, said yesterday:
