SCOTTISH MUNICIPAL MEETINGS.

Those who say that the Scotch have no sense
Of humor should see the Scotsman on his native
heath especially in November, when the munich
pal campaigns are on In local affairs national
politics play no part and there are no party
designations. Each candidate for admission to
the governing body-which chooses one of its
own members for Provost (Mayor)-must so an
nounce through the newspapers. The usual
formula is that 'he has been requested to stand
sby a large and influential delegation of the
electors of the ward" and after that he must
hold numerous meetings and invite ali the voters
of the district to attend and hear him expound
bis ideas of government.
There is usually little difficulty about getting
a crowd. The chairman introduces the candi-
date and the latter speaks his little piece. Then
according TO the unwritten law, questions are
called. Response? Why, there are nothing but
responses Sometimes il seems as If every man
in the hall had pocketful of written queries
and dozens of oral ones are added TO the list
And such questions Who asked you to stand?
What makes you think you qualified to be
Town Councillor? Is 1t true that you pay "scab
wages? Are you in favor of opening the public
houses ON holidays? Will you provide work for
the unemployed? Why do the Councillors spend
so much public money on wine and cigars on
their official outings? How many people have
free passes on the streetcars? And so on ad
infnitum.
This process is known as "heckling" and the
man who can go through the ordeal successfully
has nothing TO fear at the hands of the most ex-
pert legal cross-exaniner. When the candidate
Is quick witted the answers and repartee are
often worth going miles to hear. When it is all
over somebody moves that "Afr. Jones is Il fit
and proper person 30 represent this ward" etc,
and this is promptly seconded. Then. not infre-
quently. friend of some other candidate or
dissatisfied questioner moves that the aforesaid
Mr.. Jones is not ft and proper person, etc.

NO NEED Or HURRY.

Afr. Everett Colby's triumphant election 10 the
New-Jersey State Senate, following his magnin-
cent all summer fight against bossfsm and klnored
evils. has provoked some emotional and lnJu-
dicious friends into the launching of all kinds
Of booms for him. Already MIR. Colby has been
elected Governor, United States Senator-and
President The thoughtless enthusiasts who are
disseminating that kind of talk don't realize, or
course that they are simply increasing the diff
culties which Mr.. Colby will have to contend
with In trying to settle the problems to which
he has plighted bis faith.
There Is q tremendous amount of hard Work
ahead of Mr. Colby from the moment that he
reaches Trenton next January until the legisat-
ure adjourns about the end Of March. Equai
taxation limited franchises, legislation to facll~
tate independent voting, franchise taxation ana
score of incidental questions must be faced
and worked out On some there will have to be
concessions all around on others Mr.. Colby must
stand firm, resisting compromise Of any kind,
and hold up bis end against some OF the most
powerful interests of the state with their trained
and experienced advocates. There VIII be enough
serious and practical work to keep Mr.. CODY
busy without his wasting time dreaming OF wnat
may. happen in the future.
What honors the future may hold for Mr.
Colby will depend very largely on himself. he
has great opportunity now unfolding itself De-
fore him, and II he Will but new TO the lilies III
ready mapped out, without being upset oy either
the adulation of fool friends or the attacks ana
misrepresentations of enemies his place in the
history of the state will be secure. Mr.. Colby Is
In vigorous health mental and physical; he is
independent both intellectually and financially !;
his patience and temper are admirable, ana he
has the courage to do what he believes to De
right And he will come pretty near doing right
If he can avoid all of the numerous pltfaiis
which are even now being constructed for his
special benefit.

sgowERs OF SHOOTING STARS.

Astronomers have been disappointed several
times in the last ten years when they looked
for a recurrence of certain famous meteoric dis
plays Hence they have grown cautious about
publishing predictions. Some of them, however,
are secretly hoping that there may be fine
show next Saturday evening, if the weather is
favorable Four truly wonderful showers of
fire have been witnessed in Noyem ber two COM
ing before the middle of the month in 1888 and
1866. and apparently proceeding from the con
stelIation of Leo, and the others being observed
near the close of the month in 1872 and 1885.
The second pair seemed to emerge from a CEN
tral point In Andromeda-whence the name
"Andromedes" are attributed to encoun-
ters with the wreckage of Biela's comet, which
has not been seen since 1852. The interval be-
tween the showers of late November was thir-
teen years, but it is known that the swarm
of material that caused those two spectacles
makes nearly two circuits in its own orbit in
that time Its true period is-or was-six and
two-third years. Three such periods amount to
twenty years altogether; and that is why,
astronomers are curious to know if there will be
any repetition now Of what happened in 1885.
The chance is small. but not so microscopic as
to be ignored. DR. Downing, leading British
authority this subject, has made some care
full computations Which give us a hint as TO
the prospect Like that of Biela's comet anu
some others, the elliptical path of the Androm-
eda swarm extends out beyond the orbit Of
Jupiter and the course of the remnant is be-
lieved to have been Influenced In two or three
ways by the giant planet. Dr. Downing thinks
that the movement of the stream has been ac-
celerated so that the particular portion which
the earth encountered in 1885 came to the cross
ing point in October, fully thirty three days
ahead Of the earth's arrival there on November
1S In the next place, the path Of the swarm
has probably been shifted to one side fully
million miles, and may not aow really inter
sect the earth's orbit. Inasmuch a meteor
becomes visible only in consequence of friction
with the atmosphere. and as the terrestrial en-
veope Is scarcely more than hundred miles

deep, there would seem to be poor prospect
Of q collision
Still. there are two possibilities to be kept IN
view Some meteor swarms become so elongat-
ed that they take several days to pass gwen
point. This is conspicuously true Of the Per
seids, whose appearance begins late in July ana
extends nearly to the middle of August. Again,
DIR. Downing says that the diameter of the
Andromeda swarm In 1885 was estimated at
2,5OO0 600 miles, or many times greater than 1t
was In 1872. Without any further increase In
breadth, the supposed change CT route is ap-
parently Offset by the lateral spread of the
aggregation. The chief uncertainty, therefore.
relates to the length Of the latter. If the head
of the procession crossed the orbit OF the earth
a month ago the tail may not be sufficiently
dense to produce any noticeable effect when 1t
is penetrated. Nevertheless, while gcrupulously
refraining from forecasts, professional and
amateur star gazers will keep on the alert In
DR.. Downing's opinion the early evening hours
give the most promise and it is hardly neces-
sary to add that Andromeda is well up in the
northeastern heavens Immediately after sunset.

ENREASoN IN REsSIA

Strikes and anti-strikes continue TO rage in
Russia, and the whole situation is depiorable.
We must STILL however, hope for and expect a
benefcent ending Of the troubles on the lines
already indicated. That is because those lines
seem TO be on the whole about the best that
could be devised, and because the triumph, even
temporarily, Of the extremists, would entail hor-
rors from the contemplation of which the mind
instinctively recoils. Kishiner has shown US
the quality OF the Russian mob. Humanity
could not endure 10 see every Russian city and
town transformed into a Kishinef While,
therefore the natural attitude Of Americans has
beer, one Of sympathy with Russian reformers
against the repressiye government. IT will now
be one of sympathy with the great reformer
who is the practical head of the government,
against those madmen who are for cause
or another trying to defeat his benevolent eff
forts. The hope of Russia, so far as we can
see. lies with Count Witte. If he is discredited
and defeated chaos will loom large upon the
Muscovte horizon
Sympathy with Poland will not be lacking,
on sentimental grounds But it would be q
great mistake 10 identify-as some are rashly
doing-the issues in Poland with those in Fin
land. The latter country stands apart In
class of its own. 1t is separated from Poland
by both time and circumstances. In asking
even demanding-emsncipatio from oppression
the Poles are within their rights But they can
secure such emancipation, along with all Rus
sts. any day by simply accepting in good faith
the offers which ars. made TO them in good
faith of assured and rapid progress toward a
free popular government In demanding Sc
