Indiana, as aecoud-clasa matter.
MONDAY, OCTOBEB 23, 1898.
As often as Peffer resnmee his speech, the average Amerioan oitizen feels an inclination to throw a brick at something.
The -ale of the Italian mission to Col. Van Aler for 850,000 paid to the Democratic National Committee has been confirmed.
The worst of "cowardly makeshifts" is a Senate that cannot or will not bring itself to a vote on a bill of the greatest importanoe.
Think of the Democratic party compromising with itself on the question of carrying oat one of the pledgee in its own platform!
The County Commissioners wonld save the county money and time by bodily firing the "superintendent" at the Jim bridge.
Tug Ohio oampaign is mainly a ReRepublican affair, with the Democrats hovering on the edge of it under the pretense of being in it.
A
on the silver issue would cut
the Democracy near the middle, while it would knock off only a small segment of the Bapublioan party.
If Republican support should be withdrawn from the Administration, it would hardly be able to avert shipwreck during the first year of its term.
McKixley goes right on making the bast speeches of his life in the Ohio campaign the same as if he could not bs re-elected without saying a word.
Montqomebt county is not exactly blessed with a decisive board of commissioners. For red tape monkey business this august body is rapidly acquiring a bad p're-eminenoe.
No stretch of Senatorial courtesy oan conceal or excuse the fact that the deportment of the anti-repealers has been of a kind for which people are denied admission to good society.
The New York bank statement shows plenty of money to loan, bat a decrease of loaning. Business men do not dare to borrow on any terms while the Sherman law remains unrepealed.
The fact stands out in bold faced figures that an increase of taxation is indispensable to the payment of the. ordinary expenses of the Government under the present Administration.
The present city ooancil will be honored in history as the "cross street council." It has boldly faced the problem of how to get across the town from north to south and is solving it by opening plenty of new streets in that direction.
The discussion of the bankruptcy bill ought to interest the Democratic members of the House in view of the faot that their party is rapidly nearing the necessity of passing into the hands of a receiver.
"Sesatobial
courtesy" is in great
diBrepnte outside of the Senate chamber. It allows Senators ]to abuse and bullyrag each other in useless debate when they should be voting but requires a rebuke administered to the Senator who refers to another by his name.
TnE Indianapolis Journal speaking of tlie Pettit case says: "His death, ooming as it did, will create a certain feeling of sympathy for him, and will strengthen the belief of his friends in his innocence. There is no donbt that the majority of his immediate neighbors believed him guilty of the murder of his wife, and the feeling was very bitter against hi-n, but neighborhood gossip proves nothing, and mountains of opinion are apt to grow up around a very small nucleus of fact in suoh cases. People at a distance from the scene of fie murder and free from prejudice in e'ther direction, who followed the course of the trial, failed to find the evidence o! his guilt overwhelming, .in spite of the verdict of the jury, and would have felt no furprise had be been cleared. However, he has gone down to death with the Btigma of a terrible orime upon him, and the justice of the verdiot will never be detei mined by further legal proceedings, but will remain a matter of varying individual opinion. In view of the fact that a child yet lives to inherit the burden of his shame and disgrace, it seems a pity that he could not have lived long enoug to try his second chance.'

THE SDN'S FIERCE RAYS.
Scientists Say They Will Somo Day Die Out.
A Learned Opinion It That In Time the Solar light and Heat Will Vanish Into Utter Death and
Darknea*.
So far as our present knowledge goes it would seem that the brightness of any si&llke body is to be attributed solely to the transformation in some fashion of mechanical power into heat. To take our own sun as an example. It is now an assured doctrinc that the heat so necessary for onr welfare is sustained by the gradual contraction of the solar volume. The energy available for transformation into heat in this process seems sufficient to supply the radiation of the sun, not only for ages such as those we reckon in the human period, but even throughout a lapse of time so vast as that which geology demands for ihe formation of the earth's crust,' writes Sir Robert Ball in the Fortnightly Review. But It is certain that the quantity of possible light and the heat to be dispensed by the sun is limited in amount. The sun cannot shine on forever. A time must assuredly come when the orb, at present so brilliant, will have no more potency for the radiation of light than is at present possessed by the earth or the moon. In like manner it can be shown that the materials constituting the sun have not always been luminous. We cannot, indeed, say with certainty by what influence their brightness was originally kindled. It probably arose from a collision or an approach to a collision, between two dark masses which happened to come to an encounter with enormous velocities In their progress through space. It is, however, plain that the agesdurlng whioh the sun has been brilliant form only an incident, so
to
speak, in the infinite history of that quantity of matter of which the solar system is constituted.
Notwithstanding the millions of thousands of millions of years which that matter has existed, it has, perhaps, only once become so heated, owing to the circumstances which wo may describe as accidental or casual, as to have acquired the ample lightdispensing power of the sun. It is, however, possible, that such periods of light-radiating capacity should have occurred more than once they may possibly have occurred several times throughout the ages of time past. Nor is It likely that the last phenomena of this kind have yet arrived. The 6un, after the lapse of uncounted years, will lose all its heat, and pass into a black, dark mass. In that form it may endure for an epooh so protracted that the spell during which it has acted as the luminary of our system will appear but a moment in comparison with the dark agps which succeeded the solar splendor. But we can conceive that the darkness, which is the doom of our system, need not necessarily be eternal so far as its materials are concerned it may be that again in the course of its .wanderings through space the tide of chanoe may at length bring the dark and tremendous globe so near some other orb that another collision should take place with appalling vehemence. The solid materials shall .again become transformed into a stupendous glowing nebula, and then, in the course of the tedious contraction !of this nebula, another protracted peiriod of brilliance will diversify the career of the great body, and may last ilong enough for the evolution of planiets and of whole raoes of highly organized creatures. The essential point of our present consideration must not be misunderstood. A little reflection will show that any periods of brilliance must be regarded as exceptional periods in the history of each body.
STEAM SIREN'S PRANKS
of
Phenomenon I)ae to the Refraction Sound-Wave* by Wind.
The siren at Tillamook, off the Oregon coast, has two steel trumpets and two steel boilers as big as those of a locomotive. They utter blasts of five seconds' duration at intervals of one and one-half minutes when there is a fog, and they consume one hundred and thirty gallons of water per hour. Their agonizing cries can be heard at a distance of thirty miles under favorable circumstances. Nevertheless, it sometimes happens that, while In full operation, they can not be heard at all at a distance of two miles. At the same time they will be audible at seven miles, wholly inaudible at twelve miles, and audible again at a greater distance from the rock. This curious phenomenon is due to the refraction of sound-waves by wind. It has been found that such a signal, when not heard at all on the deck of a vessel, will sometimes be loud and clear to the ear of a person ascending to the masthead. Sometimes it is audible with great volume in one spot and completely inaudible two hundred yards away. Eighty-one sirens and other 6tcam fog signals have been established by the government at a cost of six hundred thousand dollars, and are maintained at a yearly expense of one hundred thousand dollars.
A lighthouse, which it would be most desirable to connect by telegraph with the mainland, is situated on one of the Farallone islands, twenty-two miles out in the Pacific from San Francisoo. The situation is the most desolate imaginable. A powerful light, three hundred and sixty feet above the sea, is supplemented by a fog whistle, blown by the rush of air through a cave whi«h forms a passage opening into the ocean. One of the many caves worn by the surf on the shore chanced to have a hole on its top, through which the incoming breakers violently expelled the air carried before them. The mouthpiece of a great trumpet was fixed to the aperture, and now the waves blow mighty blasts through the instrument, which is only silent for an hour and a half each day. In various other parts of the world are signals made by utilizing such natural orifices in waye-beaten cliffs.
A Valuable Remedy.
Hon EdmundL. Pitts, the late president of the New York State Senate, writes: "State of New York, Senate Chamber,
Albany, March 11, 1886.
I have used Allcock's Porous Plasters i.. my family for the past five years, and can truthfully say they are a valuable remedy and effect great cures. I would not be without them.

Headache and Jiyspepsta. William E. Rockwell, No. 512 west 57th street, New York, says: "I have been a martyr to bilious headache and dyspepsia. Any indiscretian in diet, overfatigue or cold, firings on a fit of indigestion, followed by a headache lasting two or three days at a time. I think I must have tried over twenty different remedies, which were recommended as certain cures by loving friends, but it was no use. At last I thought I would take a simple course of purgation with Brandreth's Pills. For the first week 1 took two-pills a night, then one pill for thirty nights in that time I gained three pounds in weight, and never had an ache or a pain since."
