GREATEST COMET OF ALL COMING
"HaIley's" Will Light up the Entire
Heavens.

''lf you live until next spring YOU are
going to witness one of the most mag
nificent sights the heavens have ever
disclosed before your eyes, said well
known member of the astronomical
force at the United States Naval OBJ
servatory to newspaper correspon-
dent. ''Halley's comet comes only
once in lifetime and many persons are
born, live and die without ever catching
a glimpse of its marvellous dash of fire
across the skies. 1t was last seen in 1885,
and few persons now alive can say they
have ever witnessed it.
The astronomical world is now on the
! watch, and huge refracting and reflect
ing telescopes are trained upon the
heavens from many points on the earth
in common effort to locate the comet
which is approaching the earth at a
terrific rate There is friendly rival
ry to see which will be the first to pick
up the comet with their mirrors.
The comet in its full refulgence is not
due until 1910, but by spring it will pro-
badly be near enough to be visible by
naked eye. In the past it has spanned
the heavens almost from horizon to
horizon, covering as much as 100 de-
grees of celestial territory, and stand
ing out like great living thing of fire.
1t is now somewhere off in space, but
not yet visible to astronomers. They
confidently expect someone to pick ii up
before the end of 1909, and after that it
will increase in splendor and size until
it reachesaits nearest approach to the
earth,l some time next spring, after
which it viii disappear, not to be seen
again in IS years.
'Halley's comet has been visiting the
vicinity of the earth ever since 500 or
900 years before Christ" SAID the as
tronomer. HALEY was an Englshman
whose name twas given to the comet
| because he was the first TO announce
| that this particular comet came near
the earth at regular periods once every
Is years. He went over the records,
and by series of computations found
that what had previously been regarded
as a series of different comets, was
nothing more than the same comet and
| that this, the most magnificent Of them
all, came around regularly once every
IS years. That was during the latter
part of the eighteenth century, and
Haley announced that this comet would
next appear in 1885. He never lived to
see it come, but his successors found
that his prediction came true"

BLOOD ON THE MOON.

The open letter of Representative
CharlesIN. Fowler, of the Fifth New
Jersey district TO Speaker Joseph G.
Cannon, has arrived, but Mr.. Fowler
has not. His fve-column attack upon
the sage of Danville overshoots the
marklbecause it is too sweeping in its
abuse and too prolific of fighting talk.
All that Mr.. Cannon need do is to retort
in the words of the colored lady: "All
| say you is, and all you say | is, say
you is, and mo- besides" The speaker
is 73 years of age, is serving his eigh-
teenth term in the lower house of con-
gress and is no mans fool Yet Mr..
Fowler sizes him UP as possessing quail
tiles and doing things as follows:
Brutal despotism, conspiracy, con-
temptlble trickery, disgraceful hybrid,
duplicity, dishonorable and disreputable,
disgusting favorism, ignorance, inordi-
nate conceit, malace, miserably con-
temptible false pretenses, prejudice,
putrid preference, political cowardice,
perfidy, rotten record, treacherv, trait
orous treachery, vengeful malice.
If that is all there is the matter with
Speaker Cannon he must be pretty
good sort Of man. For a gentleman
with grievance, Mr.. Fowler has his
temper under remarkable control
Many another, smarting under the rod
that chasteneth, would have become
abusive. 1t is great pity indeed that
one who is so conservative of utter
ance and who is so well versed in the
use of polite language should have been
deprived Of the opportunity of reform
ing our currency system.

FOR A SlMPLlFIEO CALENDER.

When Julius Caesar meddled with
the calendar in true imperial fashion he
produced The Year of Confusion, :"
which was'46 B. C. In that year were
fifteen months, or 445 days. A great
many dates got lost which has never
since been found. And the trouble
came Notwithstanding the Gre
gorian revision Of the calendar sixteen
centuries later through flirting with
the new moon as with an suspicious
influence according to popular super
stition.
The Julian occasion was by no means
the last upon which moonshine and the
calendar have collided. Another head
on meeting is now suggested by a San
Francisco calculator, and while the
moonshne in this case is tigurative the
proposition looks to an ample and ma
terial confusion Of days. The idea is
to have thirteen months of twenty
eight days each, with an "Anno Day"
annexed to each December and Mid
ammo Day" in the exact middle of every
leap year.
The originator of This idea makes
seventeen points for his calendar, in
Guiding the fact that it causes every
week, month and year to begin on Sun
day and end on Saturday. Astronomi-
cal periods can be figured and dates set
ahead. Existing anniversaries can be
r4adjusted by mutual agreements.
But if we do not hurry up and set the
new calendar going with 1911 there will
be no other good chance till 1929.

embody a provision therein that any
supervisors or enumerator who takes
part, other than casting his vote, shall
be dismissed from the service.
President Taft's elimination Of politics
from the census is in keeping with
sound public policy. Census supervisors
and enumerators ought to be required
TO give attention exclusively to their
duties. The men intrusted with the
workiof taking the census ought TO be
thoroughly qualified for the honest and
intelligent performance of their duties.
The President is doubtless fully inform
ed of the scandalous practices, the Jug
glery and frauds which discredited the
census in Maryland in 1900 These
abuses were directly the outcome of
mixing politics with the census. In
consequence of the dishonesty of Ger
tain census employees the Federal Gov
eminent was compelled to revise the re-
turns in Maryland and to do the work
over again. And because the first re-
turns were fraudulent on their face the
State of Maryland was put to the eX-
pense of an extra session of the Legis-
lature to provide for taking the census
of Maryland by the State government.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY'S OPPOR.
TUNITY.

The Republican Convention tomor-
row has an unusual opportunity to put
before theIpeople of the State the is
sues with which the next campaign
should deal. The opposition has left
the opening by insisting once more that
negro domination" is the leading ques-
ton before the people of Maryland in
spite of the fact that with the impor-
tant reforms-the refor MS about which
the public is really commemorative elm
ination of the negro vote has absolutely
nothing to do. So little connected is
the question of negro disfranchisement
with thesbuilding of good roads honestly
and cheaply, with the proper control
and regulation of public service cor
porations, with the care of the insane
with he.passagesof an up-to-date pure
food law, with fair representation Of
Baltimore in the Legislature, with the
repeal of the trick ballot laws, with
the ratification of the income tax that
the statement in the Democratic plat
form that the paramount issue" is
disfranchisement of the negro is recog-
nized bysevery thinking man as bald
misstatement of fact.
The occasion for bringing the issue to
the front once more can be nothing
other than desire to give the political
leaders in the dominant party grip
upon the State that cannot be broken.
1t is all well enough to say that the
white men of Maryland will not be
dominated by set of grasping poIiti-
clans. But good government is not an
easy thing to get. White men with
power in their hands to enforce good
government have gone along without it
for many years. The more difficult
conditions make it to turn politicians
out of jobs the more difficult it has been
found to get good government. This is
not an indictment of the white race. 1t
is the statement of truism founded in
experience.
What imperative necessity for
taking the vote away from the negro
exist? How will the Democratic party
be IN better position to enact the laws
which the people Of Maryland have been
demanding when the negro is disfran-
chised than it has been in the last ten
years? Its majority in the Legislature
has been overwhelming. Will the party
do better if it has unanimous vote in
that body than in does when it has
three-fourths? 1t doesn't need more
votes in either House or Senate to enact
the laws which the State and the city
need. By what process of reasoning
are sensible men to be made to believe
that party which has had absolute
power to make what laws it saw fit and
which has refused again and again to
enact much-needed reforms will proceed
to be good if it is given a little more
power?
The Republican party has nothing to
fear from the negro issue. The voters
of Maryland are not ready to put their
necks in moose. Let the party address
itself frankly and boldly to the real is
sues Of the campaign and appeal to the
intelligence Of the voters to say whether
they want to take up businesslike pro-
gram Of reform and carry it forward in
a businessIike way or whether they pre-
fer TO fight over once more the dead is

Affects Settlers.

1t became known Monday that
under the new regulations recently
Issued by the interior department,
homesteaders on government irri-
cation projects who have not made
the full payment for their water,
but who have completed FIVE years
residence, cultivation, ETC.. in full
satisfaction of the homestead law
will be no longer permitted TO sell
their entries in whole or in part as
was permitted by the order of Sec
retary Garfield.
Under the new regulation no
settler on government project can
sell any portion of his entry until
he has made a complete payment
for the water. This modification,
it is feared, will work a hardship
on the poor settlers who heretofore
have been allowed to sell out after
satisfying the requirements of the
homestead act. If they are unable
to complete the payments they will
be dispossessed of their land and
will forfeit all the payments there
tofore made. Statesman.
