The democratic party is getting a
good deal of aid and comfort from
the British presa on the Chilean
question. On most points of na
tional policy the British press and
the democratic party work
together.
In the last year of Cleveland's

nations than it sold to them, where
as in 1801, under republican rule,
the sales exceeded the purchases
by $131,(X)o,Xl0. Such figures need
no comment.

The New York Recorder has a
novel plan for honoring both the
living and the dead who played
conspicuous parts in the Chilean
disturbance. This plan is to have
three silver statuettes made of
Charles V. Riggin, the marine
killed at Valparaiso, these to be
presented to President Harrison,
Secretary Maine and Secretary
Tracy as the Americans who com
pelled Chile to apologize for the in
sult to the American uniform.
THE SCHEME. -
As moved by David 13. Hill, sec
onded by "Bill" Springer, and in
dorsed by the "dangerously demo
cratic" house caucus, the platform
of that party will read thus:
Plank 1-Yell.
Plank 2-Tackle.
Plank 3 -Object.
Plank 4 Amend.
Plank 5- -Juggle.
Plank 0-"Iloller."
Plank 7 Do nothing.
Plank 8 Resoved that the Amer

JUPITER AND VENUS.
The Approaching Conjunction Is
Phenomenon of Rare Occur
rence. The planets Jupiter and Venus,
which are now very conspicuous
objects in our western sky these
clear evenings, will make a very
close approach, to each other, or
come into conjunction, as it is
technically called, on February 6, at
S 12 a. m., New York mean time,
when . the distance between " their
centers will be only fifty-seven sec
onda (of arc), or thirty-four seconds
between their nearest limbs.. Un
fortunately ' for observers in this
country, both planets will then be
below the eastern horizon, but on
the evenings of February 5 and fr
the one preceding and the other fol
lowing conjunction they will be
so close that the unassisted eye
may have some difficulty in distin
guishing them separately. Such
a close approach of these two
planets is very rare, and those
now living may probably never see
another. In the field of view of a
telescope of very moderate power
the planets will present a magnifi
cent spectacle, JupiUr being sur
rounded by his four satellites
and Venus showing a gibbous
phase, or only four-fifths of her en
tire disk. Although the planets
have such apparently close rela
tions, their distance apart is very
great, being about four and a half
times the earth's mean distance
from the nun. or, in round numbers,
about 418,000,000 miles. In former
tinus, when the cause of such phe
nomena was not understood as
at present, the ignorant and super
slitiouq looked upon conjunctions
of the planets as the forerunners of
Home civil or physical commotion,
such as wars, famine, earthquakes
etc., but it is almost unnecessary to
state that they possess no signifi
cance whatever. The present re
markable conjunction of the two
most conspicuous planets iu the
solar system has no connection
whatever with imbroglio, the Rus
sian famine or any other event that
may hereafter occur. Such phenom
ena take place when the earth and
any two planets come into the same
or nearly the same straight line, and
since alt the planets, the earth in
cluded, revolve around the sun in
the same direction and with differ
ent but variable velocity, they must
necessarily nrrive some time or
other at the same relative positions
again and again, and therefore any
event, whether of a civil or physical
character, " happening at for near
that time i simply un accidental
coincidence and nothing more.
It will be both interesting and
instructive to follow the apparent
path of these two. planets for the
next few months. Both are moving
eastward among the fixed Hars, but
in consequence of the apparent
motion of the sun in the same
direction, which is intermediate
between those of Jupiter anil Venus
the form is apparently approaching
the sun, and will be lost to view
in the splendor of his rays on the
20th of March, after which he will
become a morning star. The latter
however, is apparently receding
from the sun and appronching her
greatest elongation, which will oc
cur on the 29th tf April, when her
anguler distance from the sun will
be about 45 V degrees, and just
about fifteen minutes before her
greatest elongation she will be oc
culted by the moon, but the c-
cultation occurs near midnight,
and, therefore, invisible in this
country. On the 2d of June he will
attain her greatest brilliancy, which
will be nearly three times greater
than at present. At this time she
will be visible to the naked eye dur
ing the day, and at night will cast
quit a strong shadow. On June 17
he will become stationary for a
short time. At tliiB point in her ap
parent course she will be moving
exact, the straight line joining the
earth and Venus moves parallel to
itself so that to a spectator on the
earth the planet will appear to
preserve the same absolute direc
tion in space. Up to this point her
apparent motion has been eastward
or direct; she now, ' however,
changes her course of retrogrades,
passes between us t nd the suu on
July 0, when she becomes a morn
ing star, and again arrives at a
stationary point on July 21, after
which her apparent motion again
becomes direct.

LOVE AND MARRIAGE IN JAPAN.!
Sir Edwin Arnold, who bus
been enjoying an interestinc trin
through the United States, has
made a careful study of the condi-
tion which govern the familv in
Japan and embodies his ideas in a
paper called "Love and Marriage
in Japan" in the February' number
of The Cosmopolitan. The article
is illustrated by the quaintest pos-
siDie; Japanese sketches running
down the sides and across the bot
tom of each page. An excellent
photograph . of W. D. Howella,
serves as a frontispiece, and his
work as a writer of fiction is re
viewed in the same number by II.

NEW YORK'S MOST VICIOUS VICE.
The New York Vice is constantly
brewing trouble for itself and then
appealing to the press for assist
ance to aid in extricating it from
the quagmires it has created only to
strand itself in. The Register is just
iu receipt of one of the Vice's
frequent appeals in which the fol
lowing strange question is despar
ingly asked: "When postmasters,
as is shown in this paper, become so
blindly partisan as to refuse repeat
edly to delvier mail that has been
paid for, properly addressed and
posted, because they do not agree
with the politics of the sender, is it
not time for a protest loud and
long from every lover of free insti
tutions?" All this frantic hue and cry is
raiaed because the editor of the
Vice has entered into a contract
with the national democratic com
mittee to send out 100,000 copies of
the Vice for six. months, to such
addresses of temperance repub
licans as thut committee may fit r n
ih, and to work up the "1,(XJ0.(XX)
vote" scheme for a third party pro
hibition candidate for president,
and thus aid that committee in its
desperate attempt to elect a demo
crutic president next November.
The Vice has entered upon its
vicious work, and is now sending
out the copies contracted for each
week. At many points nearly every
person addressed has refused to
take the vile sheet out of the post
office and the postmasters have sd
notified the publishers of the Vice,
as the regulations direct. This
action has been a flaming red rag
to the editor of that paper, and he
is now frantically appealing to all
the newspapers in the United States
to aid his foul scheme in behalf of
the national democratic committee.
Out of the thousands of copies of
his paper that have been returned
lie has been able to iind about a
dozen persons, by t-eiiding letters
to the addressesof all whose papers
have been returned, who did not re
fuse to take the Vice out of the
postofliee, mid on this flimsv base
he is now attempting to prejudice
the public against the action of the
postmasters who returned the
papers as "refused." The editor of
the Vice can rest assured that li is
complaints will lie officially invest
igated and properly punished, in
case there have been any violations
of the postal laws and regulations.
Iowa State Register.
A HILL has been introduced in
congress by a democratic member
from Ohio, re-establishing "wildcat"
currency, or issue of money by
State banks. When old timers
think of their experience with that
kind of paper, they will invariably
conclude that the money we now
have is good enough. To have
plenty of money is one thingand to
have it worth its face value is
another. The idea seems to obtain
with some people that state banks,
or even the government, could issue
good money and distribute it
around free gratis, thus increasing
the rate per capita and conferring a
great blessing on the country.

The reduced duty on American
flour to Cuba, under the reciprocity
treaty, went into effect on January 1
last. Consul-General Williams tel
egraphs the state department that
the receipts of flour at Havana for
January last were as follows: From
the United States, 02,371 sacks;
from Spain, none. The receipts for
the month of January, 1801, were:
From the United States, 2,720 sacks;
from Spain, 38,400 bags.
The exports of flour from Cuba to
New York, New Orleans, Mobile
and Key West in January, 1802,
amounted to 07,478 barrels of sacks.
The exports from the same points
in January, 1801, were 9,234 barrels.
