Point Toward Which It and the Planets Are Moving. Moie than a century ago, Sir William Herschel was able to fix roughly what we call the apex of the sun's way in space, or the point among the stars toward which that way is directed, says the Popular Science Monthly. Herschel found that a comparison of old stellar observations seemed to indicate that the stars in a certain part of the sky were opening out, as it were, and that the constellations in the op posite part of the heavens seemed to be drawing in, or becoming smaller. There can be but one reasonable explanation of this. We must be moving toward that part of the sky where the stars are separating.

Just so a man watching a regiment of soldiers approaching will see at first only a confused body of men. Eut as they come nearer the individual soldier will seem to separate, until at length each one is Fee distinct from all the others. Herschel fixed the position of the apex at a point in the constellation Hercules. The most recent investigations of Newcomb, published only a few months ago. have, on the whole, verified Hcrschel's conclusions.

Later investigators have increased the pre cision of our knowledge, until we can now say that the present direction of the solar motion is known within very narrow limits. A tiny circle might be drawn on the sky, to which an astronomer might point his hand and say: "Yonder little circle contains the goal toward which the sun and planets are hastening today. Even the speed of this motion has been subjected to measurement, and found to be about ten per second. The objective point and the rate of motion thus stated, exact science holds her peace. Here genuine knowledge stops; and we can proceed further only by the aid of that imagination which men of science need to curb at every moment.

But let no one think that the sun will ever reach the so-called apex. To do so would mean cosmic motion on a straight line, while every considera- "Honest Labor Bears a Lovely Face' There is nothing more pleasing to look upon than a hearty, ruddy face, gained by honest toil.

Some of the girls who have had tea cups spilt over their new dresses may sympathize, though they wouM not imitate. Lord Roseberry, who failed rather signally as liberal prime minister of England, has scored a remarkable success with his history of Napoleon. Lord Rosebury has brought to his task the skill of a litterateur, together with the experience of a practical statesman. He is unquestionably the most brilliant man in the libera! party, and it may be that some day his for-mpr failings may be forgotten and another chance at the helm cf state given him. In the meantime he is about the only man in the opposition whom the government is at all afraid of.

In a recent hearing of the Licensing Board of London, it has come to light that it is customary in many places for waiters to pay as much as a dollar a day for the privilege of waiting. We believe that this is the case also in New York and other large cities. It is an outrage against both the public and the waiter. The former in addition to paying for its food is compelled to support the waiter with its tips. The waiter, having to depend on the generosity of the customer is placed In a degrading position.

If the waiter received his wages for work done, like another man. there would be nothing menial about his position. The tipping system is a European importation which we were far better without. The International Council of Women for Christian and Patriotic Service has passed a resolution directing that its first effort be to secure the passage by Congress of a law making polygamy a crime in every state and territory of the Union. All right-minded men and women regard polygamy as a hateful thing, and one that should be put flown by all constitutional means.

At the same time we cannot endorse the fcetion of the Council of Women. State some-rule is perhaps the moat funda-Pntal and valuable principle ot our iEXTK Government to interrere witn ine nguia of an individual state to administer its own affairs would set a dangerous precedent which might lead ultimately to oppressive and unfair legislation. It were better that polygamy should exist in I'tah than that American freedom should perish. The only way to suppress polygamy in a state is to bring that state to a knowledge of its own iniquity, arid this result can only be obtained by earnest educational work in the sinning state itself. The Result: A Blessing.

The battle has been fought and won. It is a decisive one. The country has eiven its decision in the most unmistakable terms, and from that decision there is no appeal. The American people have shown that when in 1890 they declared in favor of Republican government, it was not on the impulse of a fickle mind, the mere longing for variety that characterizes the French voter, but that they believed that Republican rather than Democratic meth ods and ideas were conducive to the national welfare. After four years of experience they have repeated and en dorsed that decision in forms more unmistakable than ever.

Viewing the question from a purely neutral standpoint the circumstance that the country has endorsed a de cision come to four years ago, should be a matter of satisfaction. It proves that it has been contented during tnat period, that it has prospered, that the progress of the nation has been agree able to it. anu that there is nothing that it desires more than the repetition of such a period. Now even the most ardent Democrat can derive nothing but satisfaction from the country's prosperity. He may have reason to think that the election of his own ticket would have improved conditions, but evidence that the majority of the 1 pie believe that they are prosperous cannot but be more agreeable to the right minded man who will leave his political bias aside for a moment, than proof of general discontent.

In the same way a fair-minded Republican should find cause for rejoicing if after four years of Democratic government the country pronounced strongly in favor of Democracy. Be as vigorous a partisan as you please while the struggle proceeds, but once it is over there is no harm in looking at the matter dispassionately, and selecting for consideration the agreeable factors. The truth is that while it is not advisable to allow any one party to become permanently dominant, yet continuity of policy is desirable if it can be secured without injury to vital principles. The strongest criticism that foreigners can bring to bear on our system is its uncertainty. Every four years there is a possibility of a compute reversal of policy, which is liable to disturb commercial and financial interests.

Uncertainty as regard the currency and the tariff is naturally prejudicial to business. In the case of yesterday's election this uncertainty could barely be said to exist. It was a foregone conclusion that McKinley would be elected. The great majority of Democrats must have known their cause was a lost one, though loyalty to their party compelled them to pretend confidence. For example we do not believe for one moment that Richard Croker.

that astute and experienced politician, believed th.it Bryan could carry New York. Of course he said he did, but then politics cannot always be squared with strict veracity. But that business interests were not disturbed by apprehension of a reversal of policy cannot but be looked upon as an un equivocal blessing. That the country has prospered during the last four years cannot be gainsaid. Wages have advanced, prices have advanced and if the national army has been increased the army of the unemployed has been decreased in more than equal ratio.

During that time we have fought one of the most successful wars that has ever been waged, and as the practical leader in the Chinese question we have assumed a position cf dignity in the eyes of the world which has no parallel in the history of nations. You may say that these consummations were not brought about by the Republican administration, but by the genius of the American people and the kindness of Providence. However, you will hnd it difficult to persuade the voter that the events that occurred during an administration are not in a measure due to, that administration. You may have your own opinion on "trusts," imperialism." "militarism." the Boer war and the personalty of Messrs. McKin-ley and Roosevelt, but you cannot disguise the fact from yourself that we have just passed through a period of remarkable prosperity.

Therefore, on purely non-partisian grounds, we say that under the circumstances the election of Mr. Bryan would have been an unmitigated dis aster, as the election of McKinley is an unequivocal blessing. The Professor and the Story-Teller. Chicago University, like Chicago city, is a great and worthy institution. Both have energy, enterprise, courage, earnestness, ambition and ability.

It is not their fault that they are new, crudely, glaringly new, and like most new being3 and institutions, including cities, men and puppy dogs, believe they know a whole lot of things which their elders have wisdom enough to be ignorant of. At the present time, while disseminating much viseful knowledge, Chicago University is rapidly winning to itself the reputation of the champion factory of crank theories and freak ideas. There are no subjects which the Chicago professor will not undertake to teach from the acquirement of genius to the art of cookery, and he does not hesitate to undertake the 1 SPECIAL, lb.

His ideals are praiseworthy, but his experience is limited. Such is youth. Among the recent courses that have been started is one on "The Art of the Short Story," wherein tne aim is to initiate the student into the difference between a good short story and a poor one, and point out to him the quickest road to success in this, the least understood and most overdone department of literature.

How the professor sets about his task, we do not profess to know, but we are pretty confident, a confidence based on sad experience, that if he follows the dicta laid down by any professor, no matter how learned, the pupil, will shortly accumulate a large collection of printed slips beginning "we regret" and closing with advice to the young author not to be discouraged. We have been led to comment on this typically Chicagoan innovation of the appearance of a new book, entitled "Short Story Writing." It is described as a practical text book on the technique of the short story. What the "technique of the short story" may mean we cannot even guess. The author of the book, Charles Raymond Barrett, we never heard of. He may write short stories himself, but we rather think not, or he would refrain from writing about how to write them.

Among his qualifications for his task he informs us that he has made not only a careful study of the works of the masters of short story writing, but a critical examination of several thousand short stories written by amateurs. We feel very, very sorry for him; but we admire him immensely. We should do so if he had even made a critical examination or a hundred stories written by amateurs. But several thousand; ye gods A reviewer writes that Mr. Barrett's book would seem to be an excellent introduction to such a course as the above mentioned of Chicago University.

We have not the least doubt. It would get the literary aspirant inta the line of thought that would lead him to accept the professors rules and regulations as the only straight road to success. The course completed we would advise him to commence his post graduate work with a couple of years as office boy on a newspaper. We are afraid, however, that it would take three years, or over four, to get him into the state of mind that he enjoyed before he fell in with Mr. Barrett, and the Chicago professor.

Then If he still wants to write short stories, has unlimited patience, and a private income sufficient to live upon, let him start in by all means, and we wish him success. These courses in story writing are the logical outcome of those "courses in Journalism" which have flourished more or less for the last few years. To seek to learn journalism by book is bad enough. A journalist an expression by the way, which stamps a newspaper man as a neophyte is only to be made in one way, in the hard school of city editors, copy readers armed with blue pencils, gutter assignments, police stations and beats. There is no other way of learning the taste of the great public, and obtaining for it that which it desires.

But Journalism is comparatively mechanical. To a certain extent it can be learned, though not in the lecture room. To attempt to teach the delicate art of the short story would be infamy, if it was not folly. Knowledge of men. originality and clearness of thought, beauty of expression, a sense of the eternal fitness of things, can they be taught If they can, you can manufacture genius in a foundry Read the works of the great story writers, particularly the French ones, and you may gain some knowledge how their ends are achieved; but we will not promise you that you will become a Stevenson, a Balzac, or a do Maupassant.

Kipling, Bret Harte, Stockton, or Mark Twain might be able to give you some hints, could they be induced to try, which we doubt. To teach the art of fiction the college professor is the worst equipped man In the whole world; were it otherwise, he would know enough not to attempt it. MONEY IN BANK.

Factory People, and Their Employers "How Their Relations are Made Pleasant and Profitable, by Edwin L. Shuey, M. author of "Industrial Education Necessary," etc. IS Mo. cloth, 200 pages, 75 cents net, profusely illustrated.

The book will be issued on tha 20th of this month by Lentilhon of 150 Fifth avenue, New York City. So much thought is given today to the relations between capital and labor, that a book like this should be heartily welcomed. It is the record of experience and not the voice of prophecy which is here conveyed. The author has been connected with a great manufacturing business, and enthusiastically devoted to the publication, far and wide, of the schemes successfully operated, now for a long time, by many employers to improve the lives of all the employes. These schemes are here set forth with great plainness and fulness, and are simply revolutionary.

"Looking Backward" contains nothing so feasible or more acceptable and worthy of general imitation. But the book is not the record of a single company's successful efforts to deal humanely, generouslyand ingeniously with their employes. It collects similar facts from all parts of the country, and from Great Britain and the rest of Europe elsewhere. The author has called in the assistance of the photographer, and the book is appropriately, fully and attractively illustrated. Thus in letter press and pictures it is a notable contribution to the study of human progress.

Mr. Shuey's other Dayton friends will unite with the Herald in tendering him hearty congratulations. Where Baby Came From. "Children," said Aunt Mary, "yon have a new little brother. He came this morning' while you were asleep." "Did he?" exclaimed the eldest.
