ENDEEY, Editor. ‘ The annual expense of keeping up the standing army of France is $150,- . 000,000, which involves the maintainance of 500,000 men and 140, 000 horses. PR TRO T P The drift of public sentiment seems to be in favor of one term in the presidency. lln case of such a change a six-year term would probably be adopted. At Richard Mansfield, the renowned actor, eonsiders Chicago the ideal theatrical city, and says that the playgoing portion of its population is the greatest of any city in America—in fact of any city in the world. R SR (I SR LS Joel P. Heatwole, form—érly editor of the Middlebury, Elkhart county, Reeord, who ran for congress on the republican ticket in a Minnesota district, was defeated. He had a democratic majority of 5,000 against him which he cut down to 2,000. SSTATPO SR SRR The slugging mateh between the earth and Biela’s comet has been declared off, if we are to Dbelieve what Prof. Boss, of the Dudley observatory, says in regard to the comet. He declares that it is not Biela’s comet, but a new one, which is receding from the earth instead of coming towards it. T RSO e S S The following is a statement just made by W. G. Hardy, a Denver mining expert, who has just returned from Harney Peak, South Dakota, to investigate the tin mines for lEnglish Capitalists. He says: “The Black Hills will soon he the great tin producing region of the world. It is only three or four years ago that the development | of these mines was commenced, and | there are now on the dumps 60,000 | tons of tin—enough to supply the| world for two years.” | e i The recent democrzft—i(—:wvictory was | the third political landslide in Ameri- |, can history. The first one, which |, .. swept Grandpa Harrison into the | ‘ Rao 1040 . WAS as l'a.t ] “ 5 *fi"‘«:f e ’“::'v‘*;.n:*.e:r"yh 230 <F e sm X £ua oswarc A andslide proved to be the death | blow of the Whig party, which had for | its presidential candidate in that campaign the peerless soldier, Gen. Winfield Scott. : T The Homes&m‘si;{k_é,dwhich had lasted 144 days, was declared at an end by the Advisory Board, last Saturday, by a vote of 101 to 91. The 91 held out firm and opposed with all their might the idea of bringing the fight to av end, pleading and arguing that to yield would mean the disintegration of their association. The meeting was l a very stormy one and for a time it was thoughnt that legal authority would be necessary to preserve order. When the result of the ballot was announced there were loud denunciations and great dissatisfaction among the strikers who were opposed to ending the fight. A—- — dispateh says: A scrutiny of the official blue bock in regard to the appointments in the executive departments at Washington diseloses a little over 9,500 clerkships and similar positions, ranging in salaries from SI,OOO up to SI,BOO, included in the classified lists of the civil service law, the occupants of which can only be removed for cause, and over 1,500 positions of the higher grades, the occupants of which are subject to change at the will of the heads of departments. The salaries as these positions range from $3,000 downwards. s The agitation of the World's Fair Sunday Opening association, composed of such sterling men as Dr. H. W. Thomas, James W. Secott, Postmaster Sexton, and Rev. David Swing, of Chieago; Rev. M. J. Savage, Boston; Frank Hatton, Washington; Bishop Spalding, Peoria; Rev. Dr. Collyer and Bishop Potter, New York; Archbishop Brennon, Tevas, and Cardinal Gibbons, Baltimore, is beginning to bear good fruits. The sentiment in favor of opening the fair on Sunday is becoming so strong among the masses and many of the best and brightest men of iim nation that it seems that Sunday opening is the best and only Siltisf:l‘(tffll‘j’ way of solving this mooted question. Mayor Washburn, of Chicago, has asked the city council to petition congress to allow the fair to be opened on Sunday, which action, it is believed, will have great weight to wards induecing congress to repeal the law pass:d by the last session against Sunday opening.

The women of Wyoming voted for president at the late election, the first instance of the kind in the history of our government. Mrs. Lease wants to get into the United States Senate via of Kansas. That august body of statesmen, it may well be imagined, is in a state of great alarm over the prospect. The advisability of having an extra session of congress immediately after the inauguration of President Cleveland is being freely discussed by prominent democrats and democratic newspapers. The majority of them appear to favor an extra session, claiming that the tariff and other matters need early legislative attention. The Garfield Park gang of gamblers, having been kicked out of Chicago by the authorities, has now encroached upon Indiana’s domain by establishing its headquarters at the little town o~f: v Robey, Lake county. If this gang is too tough for Chicago,-then, surely, Indiana doesn’t want if.” It isan evil| that should be uprooted in its ineipiency. ' ST SRS TR P ' Chauncey M. Depew, in a recent “in- | terview with a newspaper man, outlined what he believes will be the fu‘ture policy of.the republican party. ‘He says there will be no reconstruction, and it will continue to be the | party of progress. The first plank in the republiean platform for 1896, he} says, will be for protective tariff. It will not be the McKinley bill, but the protective policy will be adhered to. The poliey of the party on immigration, he further states, will be to place additional restriction about it, but the force bill issue will be put aside. i ——— Lieut. Peary, it is authoratively and nounced, will go on another expedition \ in search of the north pole. The expedition will be under the auspices of the Academy of Natural Sciences, of which Gen. Isaac J. Wistar is president. In an interview recently the general said: “There are three objects in sending the expedition, which may be briefly stated as follows: “The first is to definitely determine the northern coast line of Greenland; the second is to ascertain if any land extends to the north of Greenland, and the third to LRt oy <y B R Polar sea. I imagine the expeditio will of necessity be a small one. The journey over the frozen sea will be made by Peary with but one companion.” BIELA’S COMET. Biela’s comet has. been the subjeect of much discussion, speculation and anxious investigation, not unmingled with some fear for the safety of our own planet, by the greatest astronomers of the world, for several duys past. The scientists are divided in their opinions as to the signilicance of this celestial wanderer’'s unaccountable appearance at this time, some claiming that it is not Biela’s comet, but a new one, while others affirm that it is the former and that it is two years ahead of schedule time and apt to strike the earth, or come uncomfortably close to it. The date when the comet will commence * to be quite visible to us, in the event of its continuing in its present path toward the earth, will be about Nov. 26. The greatest period of danger, that is, if there should be danger at all, is from Nov. 26 to Dec. 7. The following letter from DProf. Swift, of the Warner observatory, which was published by the New York press on the morning of Nov. 21, is of much importance, as the professor is a high authority on scientific qpestions of this kind. The professor says: “I'he Biela comet was seen Saturday evening at the Warner observatory for the fourth time. It has, since discovery, moved but little, and as it is increasing in size it is approaching the\ earth directly or nearly so. Though very much larger, it is certainly fainter than when first seen here. I predict that it will increase so | greatly that when in perigee i§ will form diffusion and become so faint as to be invisible. _ | It is making a faint effort to throw] out a tail, but as Biela’s comet has al- | i ways been a tailless comet itavill hard|4y El(,‘}):ll‘t from the rule. The comet | has not been seen before in forty years, | 1 and its present may differ considerably | from its former path. Statements, | therefore, that it will strike the earth | are premature. It has been a mystery | where this formerly well-behaved comet : , has hidden for forty years, a‘n«l now its . unexpected return may teach us somelthine about = cometary astronomy. | '!‘hiso(‘mnfit. is some 21 degrees south- ‘ west of the great nebula in ._»\ndrfnm‘,- - ida, and is ve y slowly moving in a , | sgouthw sterly direction. It was discovered by Mr. Edwin Holmes of Lon- ' don on Nov. 6.” & oes ot i e N Piles of people have piles, .‘lmt Do | Witt's Witeh Hazel Salve will cuve | them, J: Eudly.
