A TRlBUTEsTO THE TIMES.

We have received a personal letter from
q distinguished member of the Constitu-
honal Convention, from which we take
ing extract:
am absolutely sincere when I say
that the course of The Times has been
peculiarly gratifying to every member Of
the convention, SO far as have been
able to ascertain their opinion as ex-
pressed. The Times had such admirable
reports Of its proceedings and was so
enainently fair, notwithstanding on sew
eral questions it was opposed to the con-
vention's action. that all of us feel a. due
appreciation of your fairness
That is a tribute which The Times
values most highly. We have time and
again said in these columns that, in our
estimation, fairness was the religion Of a
newspaper. Newspapers should be fair
in all things-fair in the discussion of
public questions; but, more than all, fair
in the publication Of the news. The first
Office of a newspaper Is to print the
news, to give its readers fully and fairly
and frankly the facts about public hap
pcnings. In reporting public meetings,
in reporting public speeches, in reporting
the proceedings of legislative bodies, in
reporting the evidence in a court trial
of public interest, in all its reporting of
whatever character, it should present the
exact facts on both sides. If q, news
paper will do this the editor may then
make any comment he pleases and the
reader will forgive much, even though
he do not agree with the EDITORS conclu-
sions. Much latitude is permitted in
sion Of any public question: and the edi-
tor who believes in a certain principle or
certain line of policy is entirely justi-
fable in making his case as strong as
possible, In trying to convince others of
the Righteousness of the position which
sincere.
But in order to carry his point he has
no moral right to suppress the facts, to
color the facts, to withhold or extenuate.
Let him present the facts as they are.
fully and fairly and impartially and give
his readers the opportunity to judge for
themselves.
AS we said the other day. there are
from time to time scandalous occur
rences with which no decent newspaper
will soil its columns. Sometimes, to save
the feelings of innocent persons, South
ern newspapers keep out happenings OF
a personal or criminal nature but in all
such cases the editors are to be COM
mcnded for their good motives. But to
suppress or to extenuato or to color the
news for a, selfish purpose, for the pur-
pose of misleading the public-for the pur-
pose of promoting some selfish interest
is a high crime and misdemeanor in jour-
nalism.
We do not say this in any spirit of self
praise, Those who are familiar with tho
course of The Times will recall that we
have been preaching this doctrine when
ever occasion presented itself for the past
several years.. and we have tried to live
up to our doctrine. It is most gratifying
to The Times. therefore, to have from
an honorable and critical member of the
Constitutional Convention these words OF
recognition and commendaton.

little worlds only "a Ulg az FARM
or's rinld.
oooooCcooooooooeQlooo9n

10 Is no surprising thing nowadays
FOR the announcement to be made that
another planet has been discovered.
Time was, however, when such an
announcement was received with much
interest Il Is well known that be-
tween the orbits Of Mars and Jupiter
there is a belt ring of tiny bodies,
pocket planets" as Herschel called
them none with a greater diameter
than 200 miles and some whose as
signed diameter is less than seventeen
miles.
There are doubtless some even
smaller-about large enough for a
farmers cornfeld perhaps.
So dimlnutiye are these curious mem.
bers of the solar system that even
after one has been discovered It is
quite likely to be lost OF course it
is possible to trace the movements
Of the asteroids as wen as those Of
the larger planets, but the labor of
doing so, especially Of the many tiny
ones Of little practical interest, sur.
passes the probable value of the re-
suit, and in consequence the orbits of
most of them are not yet calculated.
The orbits OF all these diminutiye
worlds lie in belt about 100000 miles
wide and with a mean distance from
the sun Of about 250,0OOO0O miles.
At present more than $50 Of these
little worlds have been discovered, and
more are found nearly every year.
How many there may be it is impos-
sible to estimate. One astronomer
thinks there may be as many as 150,-
600 of them. The total number, what
ever that may be, depends largely on
whether or not there is any limit to
their minuteness.
If there is no such limit, that is IL
some are very much smaller than
those now known, too small to be seen
with the telescope now in USE there
may be an indefinite number.
Several theories have been advanced
to account for the presence Of the as
terOids in that part of the solar system
to which Bodies law assigned a planet
long before their existence was known.
Others proposed the hypothesis that
they had once formed a single planet,
which had at some remote time been
shattered by a great explosion, the
fragments continuing to revolVe about
the sun in approximately the orbit OF
the original planet.
The considerable variation in the
eccentricity and inclination of theil
orbits, not to be accounted for by any
present mode of calculation, and the
greater probability of their separate
formation just as were the other
and larger planets according to The
nebular hypothesis, has led to The
general discarding of Oilers theory.
None of the greater planets have
orbits whose eccentricity much ex
ceeds one-tenth the diameter OF who's
inclination to the ecliptic is create
than three degrees. OF the asteroids
however, many orbits are inclined
more than ten degrees and have al
eCcentricity in excess of one-fourtl
the diameter.
According to the nebular hypothesis
which is at present generally accepted
the minor planets as well as til
greater ones were formed by the cor
densatiOn of rings of cOsmic matte
surrounding the sun. In the case 0
the asteroids the ring instead of cor
