While far removed from the popu-

the explanation OF the phenomenon on

as made BY Prof. Percival lowell be-
fore the Philosophical Society, was
little less interesting. By analogous
reasoning he showed that the prolee-

projections which may be observed on
the moon when that body Is less than

1t is feared dangerous precedent
was established by the enterprising and
sympathetic jury at Omaha that
gave a man 81, 500 damages against
the Figg woman who started some
kind Of fake one-horse religious sect
out there, the belief in which ueces-
STATED his wife's refusing TO longer
live with him. II must be admitted
that it would be pretty hard on fell
low who was really fond Of his wife,
and could not afford to remain away
from her. TO have her join an institu-
tion like that Of the Figgites, but, on
the other hand, to have a wife who be-
lieved in that kind Of stuff would
come in pretty handy for some, no
doubt, who want TO stay away from
home occasionally. Another feature
of the rather unique verdict is, how
ever, that the man was awarded
81, 500 because his wife didn't have
any better sense than to believe all
the things taught her by the Figg
crowd. This reflects ON her intelli-
gence, and does not appear to be
exactly fair toward the woman who
started the thing, and was mulcted to
the tune of $1,000 She isn't to
blame if there are few people who
are stupid enough to swallow anything
she tells them, and it looks as If il
we're taxing her for the other woman'i
want Of common sense.

lone of the grievances of General
Miles is that the administration re-
fuses to send him to the Philippines
to settle the guerilla fighting there.
In this he has my sympathy; the
business Of a soldier is to fight.
Miles made his reputation as an In
dian fighter, and he might paoify the
Filipinos BY the same methods
True, the work is nearly done, and
Miles might get credit that is due to
others; but this is not unusual in
army circles, and 1 have no doubt
that Miles might distinguish himself
Another grievance, exploited by
pretended friends of Miles, is that
the President is afraid to send him
to the Philippines, and afraid to
make him a martyr by retiring him,
lest he should become the Democratic
candidate for President, and trouble
if not defeat the Republican party.
There need not be the slightest appre-
hension on this score. The Democrat
ic PARTY will never nominate another
military man, unless be is the hero of
some great, recent war. 1t has had
one, General Mcclellan, and the
precedent is not encouraging, General
Miles has no more chance of securing
the Democratic nomination than the
late Mr.. Bryan. But he can pass the
remaining years of his life most enjoy
ably and most usefully if he will
discard all whims and caprices and do
his duty as an American soldier"

rHE MI1Es, ooRREspoNDENOE.

1t seems from the correspondence OF
General Miles and Secretary Root in
regard to the formers request to be
sent to the Philippines, ordered by
Congress, that the affair was only an
other of General Miles erupuons OF
egotism. The whole thing, told in
nutshell, is that General Miles sug
gested policy for the Philippines
radically contrary TO the administra-
tion's policy, and which would have
been unfair Ito the officers who nave
been working so hard there for months
past. and in addition would have been
uncertain of result. The policy was
simply an admixture of General Miles
experience at Indian fighting and his
vanity, and would in all probability
have yielded no better results than
spectacular display Of asininity. Sec
rotary Root intimated as much in his
reply TO General Miles, but the latter,
with characteristic perversity, in
stead of subsiding, came back at his
superior, and the next time had to be
squelched by Secretary Root, both OF
the latter's letters being approved by
P-:.sident Roosevelt, who appended to
the last one: 1.-The memorandum OF
the secretary Of war is approved as a
,vhole and as to every part. Had
there been any doubt before as to the
wisdom Of denying General Miles
request, these papers would remove
such doubt. +"

The English seem to be discouraged
over the outlook in the tobacco war,
being waged by the American and the
English tobacco trusts, and the senti-

eventual American supremacy. The
London Spectator thus figures it out;
English capitalists will risk millions
in a trade war with the greatest pluck :
but American capitalists will actually
sacrifice them rather than be beaten.
Such wars are the enjoyment'of their
otherwise rather dull and overworked
life. They will feel disgraced If they
do not win, and.will stake their: last

the net profits were divided among the

teal, but the dividend for the initial six
months was l34I per cent. on wages, for
the second 1lS0 and for the third 9.8 per

IL was decided 10 pay twice the regular
dividend 10 those employees who took a

in other words: the regular dividend 10

all 20 sluggards and MASTERS. The dividend
in April. 1890. was 15.57 per cent. and in
three years the employees. without a single
exception. were working hard and intelli-
gently and wasting nothing. In July 1890.
the plan OF giving employees a dividend on
wages equal 10 tina on the common stock
was adopted, and at the time IL promised
10 be u per cent. Many OF the employees
now own stock. There a been no strikes
