THIS COMET
BEATS HALLEY'S
Astronomers Think Body Just
Discovered Will Prove
Splendid Spectacle
MAY BE SEEN AT
BEST IN SEPTEMBER

II the comet discovered by the Rev.
Joel III. Metcalf. of Taunton Mass.
and named for him "Metcalfs Comet"
fulfills the promises that II has given.
the world will be treated In the next
two months TO a more spectacular
sight than that attendant upon the
visit Of Halley's comet.
] Since the latest celestial wanderer
has been officially observed but twice
once by its discoverer and again by
| Professor Asaph Hall and two as
sistants at the Washington Naval
Observatory, it is impossible to say
exactly when 1t will come near
enough TO the earth 10 be distin-
/ guished with the naked eye. But.
] from present indications, when il
does come near, il will present an
appearance second TO none of the
comets seen within the last century.
Even at the great distance at which
II Is at present the appearance OF
the comet is brilliant and surpasscs
in grandeur the spectacle of Halley's
comet seen at the same distance.
Sailing majestically through space II
is easily distinguishable with a tele-
scope from It's smaller and less bright
neighbors. Particularly noticeable Is
the effect presented by the nucleus,
which is intensely bright and excep-
tionally clear.
The orbit of the comet has yet to
be well defined and, according to a
statement made by Professor Hall,
OF the Naval Observatory, several
moro observations will have 10 be
made before It can be discovered ex-
actly how near It will come to the
earth and when will be the best time
to observe II. But one thing is GER
tain, IL IL comes as near the earth as
did Malley's comet II Will far surpass
the brightness and luminosity Of that
body.
AS observed at present, the new
comet is between the orbits OF Jupiter
and Mars. nearer the former As is
usual. It is moving toward the sun
and will be seen in the western sky
in the evening until October when It

prominent at present, but It Is
thought that this is due in a large
measure TO it's position, which throws
the tail away from the earth and thus
hides It from the view Of observers.
At present the comet Is not large
enough 20 be seen with the naked
eye. but with the aid Of a good two
inch glass It is plainly distinguish
able. After tho moon begins to de-
cline. the comet will become CORES
pondingly brighter, both because Of
the dimunition Of the light OF the

be coming nearer to the earth.

CREDIT AND plscREplT.

A large section OF the republican
party can be given credit for its re
bellion against the admitted perfidy
Of recent tariff legislation, against
the alliance between majority OF
its chosen representatives and greedy
law defying wealth, against the fail
ure of all republican administrations
to put even one CONSPICUOUS trust law
breaker in jail, against Cannonism
and all the abuses and extravaganza
for which Cannonism stands. Every
republican is entitled to credit, who
has rebelled against these wrongs
which never were more in need o.
resistance. But the men, who allow
their voting habit to make them
selves accomplices in these offenses
cover themselves with discredit. The
habit Of voting straight party tick
ct is the first assistant Of every pub
lie enemy.

alcAlY MERl1Ep cENsuRe.

Senator CumminS, nm receHt
speech in Chicago, tossed ! principle
into the junk heap, when 1t stood
in the way of party solidarity. And
the Register and Leader, contrary
to its usual rule, approved of the
senators abandonment of the cause
of justice and right. when Justice
and right stood in the way of par
ty success.
The Register and Leader used this
language:
1--WE have no doubt that the sem
rator, il the occasion had suggested
1t. would have urged the reelection
of Speaker Cannon directly.
The Telegraph Herald takes issue
with the Register and Leader for
its defence of Cu,nmins, in the fol-
lowing vigorous censure:
1--WE submit that this is the most
shameless evidence of partisan pros
titution ever put forth in recent pub
lie print. What has been the main
spring Of the fight against Speaker
Cannon? What II not his opposi-
tion to changes in the House rules
,InoWIp slom ~ eNsm plnoM qoIuM
for the great interests to shape leg
islation to their liking? What but
the conviction that Cannon is a
tool Of these interests, managing
with brutal tyranny, without debnte
| and without knowledge, and with
but explanation the affairs of gov
srnment? What explains the dis
yust with him and the distrust OF
him but the conviction that he woult
always seek to ;egislate in the in
terest of sordid wealth and agains
manhood? And yet Senator Cum
Minis friendly newspaper says:
1--WE have no doubt that the sen
ator, If the occasion suggested 1t
would have urged the reelection TO
Speaker Cannon
And this because Cannon AM
Cummins both call themselves re
publicans! No matter that Cannon
is the sapient tool of the great in
terests that are engaged in monopo
lizing the great industries of tn
world, that propose to impose In
tolerable burdens upon the marke
place of our country" he is repub
lican, and should be supported b
republicans. If lie were Aaron Bur
or Benedict Arnold and bore tn
title republican" still should h
ave the support OF Senator Cum
mins and the Des Moines Registe
ind Leader.
To what base depths has patriot
ism come that to serve party al
legged patriots would fill the legisla
tive halls with the exploiters ant
the scllers-out OF the people. AS
.ounding indeed is it to hear from
the lips of the pretending virtuou
the solemn judgment that it is bet
er for the welfare of the natiol
% have in public place a tool OF th'
oiunderbund than a servant of th'
eople If the former bears the nam

not.
| What faith in the progressiv
leaders of Iowa can survive thi
evidence of betrayal of tie cause
What dependence can be put in then

compromise it and repudiate it?
The democratic party is the logi
cal place for the man Of progressiv
tendencies. 1t stands firm and un
yielding for the principles he be
,ieves in unmoved by fleeting wind
and personal circumstance, stead
astly keeping the faith, and carrying
Forward and upward the banner o
