& At least ono American citizen, Col. GEORGE
W. WARDER Of Kansas City. is looking
forward with anxious interest to next
Wednesdays eclipse. He is the philosopher
who has insisted for twenty years that the
sun Is not hot. The Colonel oonfides his
expectations to the Kansas City Times:
- believe the experiments In tho approaching
eclipse will help 70 destroy tho old hoary headed
superstition that tho Is hot. and teach the old
fogy crosseyed scientists that tho suns arc not
thermal heating engines. but, like the Garth and
planets, electric generators and arc dynamos re-
volving between their north and south poles, and
that our sun 10 the great central arc dynamo and
electric heart OF the solar system"
II THE Sun grasps the theory.it Is that
our heavenly namesake sends out only cold
currents Of electricity through the frigid
ether, and that heat Is product strictly
local to the earth's atmosphere, evolved
when the cold rays reach this planet. We
do not understand the Colonel "a maintain
ing that It will be safe for old fogy CROSS
eyed scientists or others to observe the
eclipse through burning glasses or even
through tumbler bottoms.

not only might fifty year bonds be
issued In the future, but authority would
also be conferred on the Legislature to
recall all eighteen year bonds now out
standing and issue in their place the
longer term obligations. To tax To-
morrow for the payment of To-day's
debts Is the scheme, urged on the ground
that Tomorrow will share equally with
To-day In the benefits arising from the
State expenditures for permanent i'm
provements.
The fourth amendment proposed Is
advocated by the labor organizations
Of the State and provides that tho Leg
islature may regulate the wages and
salaries Of and the hours Of labor to
be performed by the employees Of any
contractor or sub-contraotor engaged
on public work. Tho demand for this
amendment arose after tho Court Of
Appeals declared unconstitutional the
law which provided that no contractor
or sub-oontraotor employed by the State
or a municipal corporation should be
permitted to work his mon more than
eight hours day. The court held that
this restriction was in violation Of the
constitutional right Of contract, and thus
it was upset. Now the labor organiaa-
tions arc endeavoring to amend the Con-
stitution to meet their wishes.
The other amendments, two In num-
Der, we're drawn for the purpose Of reliev-
ing the congestion IN the Supreme Court
Of the State. One Of them would add
q new section to the judiciary article Of
the Constitution. under which the Legis-
lature would have power to increase
the number OF Justices in each district
until in the First and Second districts
there should be one Justice for each
$4,000 inhabitants, and in the other dis
tricts one for each 10000 inhabitants.
Under the present arrangement the
First judicial district has twenty-five
Justices, or, according to tho census Of
1900, one to every 1920 inhabitants. II
it had one to every 5000 inhabitants
there would be twenty-six Justices In
the district. Tho second amendment
to the judiciary article would allow
Supreme Court Justices assigned to the
Appellate Divisions to performsthe func-
tions Of Justices Of the Supreme Court
in departments other than their own
when not engaged in their appellate
work. This is prohibited by the Consti-
tuition as IL now reads.
These six propositions. with tho $780,
600 900 road improvement proposal. make
up the seven amendments which have
passed two Legislatures. All are to
be adopted or rejected this fall The
voter who would act intelligently on
them must take pretty serious course
in constitutional law. -e.,,

The Great Two.

The report manufactured in Boston
that Governor DOUGLAS has taken leave
to reconsider his decision not to be can
didate for reelection will deceive nobody
who knows the situation and the Cover
nor. He doesn't make up his mind for
tho sake OF unmaking 1t. He is not un-
stable as water. Nor will he permit
himself to be used to satisfy the grudges,
the envies and the fears OF the grumpy
Democratic bosslets who see doom COM
ing to them in the august shapes of MILES

The people are speaking. Goose
berry Neck and Hummock Pond have
already elected Miles and Byles delegates.
The Catamount Hill Miles and Byles

expense on his longed for return from
foreign shores. Cherry Valley is 'sure

Nugget and Pottapaug join the glorious
procession. Mount Toby. the summer
camp OF the Ancients, is aflame with
color. Tonight at 7:3o sharp there will
be Miles and Byles rally and flag rails
ing on tho historic shores of Chaubu-
naaungamaug.
In short, as tho Providence Journal
reluctantly admits, tho only COURSE
left for the Massachusetts Democrats
will be to adopt 'the ticket Of MILES

path Of glory.

Tho Palm ctto Abo Lincoln.

With straining eyes and ears, with hot
and quickened breath-no reference to
tho Dispensary intended-South Caro-
lima awaits the fateful news. Again the
Hon. KrMsEY HUsKEY' comes up to the
scratch.
A month ago tho name Of K1MsE1
HUsKEY was perhaps unknown outside
Of the beloved precincts Of his own
county of Cherokee. To-day the world
rings with his fame. and millions Of boys
and young men are fortifying themselves
for the struggle Of life by repeating this
passage from KndsEY HUsKKY's auto
biography:
y have done little Of everything that a farmer
boy could do. have piowoi. hosd. ci:oned. cut
oordvood split rails. clerked In store about two
years, and have taught school about four years.
We read about how Old ABE LINCOLN used TO split
rails; he split enough rails ono winter for . man
to get him pair Of pants. Now that Is about what
he did, and tho whole world has made q big thing
oft. I split nine hundred rails my own self In ono
winter for an uncle Of mine. II will try al hard

Incomplete Fusion.

The invitations extended by the Odell
county committee to conference on
August 81 fail to include the most rep
resentative organizations committed to
municipal ownership.
Tie real originators OF the plan for
thwarting the great public utility corpo-
rations In their alleged effort ITO control
and misuse the government OF this city
against the interests Of all our people
are the Populists and the Socialists. 10
them no invitation to confer has been
addressed by ODELL.
In this city last year there were 1924
votes cast by the Debs Socialists, 1854 by
the Socialist Laborites, and 4.576 by the
Watson Populists. They polled together
$500 votes. The addition Of these votes
to the column of fusion" would assur-
edly offset part Of the detection of
Republican voters scared away by the
fusion proposal.
The Debs Socialists at their Chicago
convention last year declared for pub
lie ownership of the means Of transpor-
tation. communication and exchange.
Tho Socialists Of the Labor branch de-
clared for "an end to the existing bar
barous class conflict by placing the land
and all the means Of production, trans
portation and distribution into the hands
OF the people as collective body
The Populists at Springfield, ILL.,, re-
solved that ITO prevent discrimination
and monopoly the Government should
own and control the railways"
Certainly, no Odell fusion which does
not include the Socialists and Populists
can be deemed complete. Having fur
nished the issue they should be per-
mitted to furnish some Of the votes.

incredible combination OF circumstances has
aided them marvelously. no doubt. but the
real and visible danger ls elsewhere. What
ever be the outcome Of the war, It Is neces-
sary that tho old world and the new should
form close union to prevent by every mean,
Japan from becoming the educator of China;
1t must prevent at any cost China from be-
coming the. .provider of men for Japan. japan

against his removal quite failed to show that

that others were no less guilty.

Criticism of Our New York Police.

Criticism OF Our New York Police.
Our correspondent Of yesterday who
explained the difference in the attitude
OF the London and New York police
toward the inhabitants Of the town
as consequence Of the racial hetero-
geneity Of our population as compared
with the homogeneity of London, pointed
out radical distinction between the two
great communities.
London is almost wholly a British
community in the constitution of It's
population. 4 great majority Of which is
English distinctively. In New York the
inhabitants Of foreign birth or parent
age were about four-fifths Of the whole
in 1900, and In Manhattan five-sixths.
In the five years since, too, these per-
centages have been increased. The
foreign born alone made up 81 per cent
Of the whole population Of the town in
1890, and In Manhattan 42.7 per cent,
and during the last five years the immi-
grafton to the town from abroad has been
the greatest in its history.
Moreover, nearly two-thirds OF those
foreigners in 1900 came here ignorant
Of our English speech, and OF the vast
crowd of immigrants since 1900 all e1-
cept very few have been alien in Lam
guage. They represent about fifty diff
ferent nationalities. and many Of them
are scarcely civilized in any high sense.
This race heterogeneity. unexampled
in any single community in the history
of mankind, confronts the New York
police with a problem Of extreme diff
Guilty. Very likely the diversity Of
languages creates something like con-
tempt among the police, 30 that they
may be tempted to treat the people as
cattle to be driven. 1t certainly could
not be expected to cultivate in them
suavity of demeanor and respect for
those whom they are appointed to guard
and discipline.
Nor, as our correspondent said, can
these people Of many races and Ian
guages. Undue severity, even OUT
RACES, by the police are not resented as
they would be II there was here the
kindred race sentiment which prevails
in London. Terms Of reproach are used
by ono race in speaking of others.
Rough police treatment Of Jew or an
Italian does not provoke bitter protests
from native Americans or from Irish
men and Germana- They may rather
find satisfaction In observing it.
These facts should be borne In mind
by people disposed to sharp criticism
OF the New York police. The problem
for the police here is far more difficult
than in any other great city of the world,
for here they are called on to deal with
the most heterogeneous population on
the face Of the earth, and something
like a half Of it ignorant Of our Ian
guage and our customs; very much Of
it, too, pretty rough crowd to handle.
That the police do as we'll as they do.
that New York is still ono Of the most
orderly Of the great communities OF the
world, might rather provoke applause
for the methods Of police regulation.

The Memory Of jose Marti.

We printed on Sunday morning an
interesting and pertinent communica-
tion, signed ID. c. on THE Memory of
Jose Marti." It's point Of Wow and its
main argument are correct and sound,
but it contained two serious errors, and
it's importance makes their rectifca-
tion desirable. The letter opens with
the quotation Of "a cable item which
has appeared in several papers Of a
recent date as follows: President
PALMA of Cuba has just signed the bill
which will settle the last claims of the
war veterans
Had this been the fact we should have
been much less emphatic in our protest
against this measure, notwithstanding
our conviction of its unlawful passage
Tho bill as passed by the Cuban Con-
gress and approved by President PALMA
does not provide for final settlement
Of those claims. 1t merely provides for
the payment Of second instalment Of
$2S, 500 900 on account Of those claims.
Id our. issue Of August 10 re said: - bill
now pending provides for review Of
still other claims. as yet unrecognized,
reported as approximately $4,000, 900
in their aggregate Moreover, under
the bill as passed it remains open for
the present Congress or any future Con-
gress to whom such a measure might
prove politically or financially profitable
to discover that $50 900 900 or 500 900 600
was still debt which grateful country
owed to those valiant heroes whose life
blood was to be 30 freely spilled for their

The second error works injustice to
the Palma party, the Moderates. The

basis. The Liberals are quite as deep
In the mud as the Moderates are in the

soma Liberals, out Of the "a members of

among the 81 absentees there were many
who were opposed to the bill but lacked
