the sounrs orroiri unity.
The break in the Solid South caused
by the victory of the Republican party
in West Virginia has given the domi
nant organization of that section of the
country a favorable opportunity to take
a step forward. Partisan division on
geographical lines is an absurdity and
an anomaly which reaches the moral di
mensions of a political crime. Its es
tablishment was a lusting reproach to the
individuals or party responsible for it,
while its continuance up to this date has
thrown discredit upon representative in
stitutions, and made universal suflragi
in a large part or me country, out a
greater part of the injury, for entire!
obvious reason?, falls on the South.
A solid South makes a solid North.
Party division ou sectional lints would
make Republican supremacy permauaiit
Cleveland's election was an accident sucl
as could not occur more than t Le in i
century. The continuance of the cotnbi
nation which assures all the Southern
States for the Democratic party would
keep the Republicans in power for fifty
years to come. The increase in popula
tion and political importance is fur
greater in the North than it is in the
South, or Hi in it ever can be in the
South while present-conditions endure.
Six new states will be carved out ol
Northwestern Territories within the next
' three or four years. All of these are re
publican, and will cast their electoral
Vote for the Republican Presidential
candidate in 181)2. No political even?
of the future is more certain of occuranci
than this. Neither Democrat nor Repub
lican doubts it. Nor can any intelligent
Democrat doubt that unless the breach
in the South made by the bresking awa
of West Virginia be widened in the next
three or four vtars every state which
sjavc its vote to Harrison in the election
just held will give its vote to theRepul
lican ncminec in the next Presidential
can vasa.
Let ths people of the south drop the
passions, prejudices and politics of th
war era, ana divide on tne living issuci-
of the time. If reason were allowed to
exert itself each southern state would
have its own opinion on economic ques
tions. The differences and diversities ol
v: view on matters of national concern
would be as marked and conspicuous in
that section as they were in the old whi
lays, or as they are in the north today
Let the south encourage the fullest and
- freest discussion of the vital questions
of the time, select their nominees in th
luture from the west or the south mstea
of from New York, and cast all of th
prejudices and passions of the war tpocl.
aside. Such a course as this would not
only break the solid south, but settle the
negro problem, break the solid north, and
make a realignment of parties in the north
-as well as in the south inevitable. If th
dominant organization in the south look
. at the situation calmly, and intelligently
ana acts accordingly, mere will oe sonu
nope xor its political resurrection, If it
fails to do this, however, the sweets of
power in the national . government foi
the next half century will be denied u
the democratic pirty. Globe Democrat
"Corn riCKiNo," says the Hebron
Journal, is at hand and the visable
wealth of Nebraska will be increaae.l
with 'each resounding thump' of the

ringers in the tar and 'sail in' to pick his
fifty bushels cr day and if he can't do

It will not require a two-thirds vote

Various Theories ot. Kteetrtcir
What Is electricity? The engineer and
the physicist are completely at variance
ou this point. The engineer regards clec
tricity. like heat, light and sound, rts n
definite form of enerirv. somethi'vr that
he can gcneiato and destroy, somcl hiug
that he ean play with and utilize, some
thinj; that he can measnro and apply
The physicist at least some phjsicists.
for It is difficult to tind any two ph.thicihts
that completely agree with each other
regard electricity as a peculiar form of
matter permeating all ttpaee as well as all
substances, together with the luuiiuifer
ous ether, which it permeates like a jelly
or a sponge
Conductors, according to this theory,
are hold or pipes In this jelly, and elec
trical generators are pumps that transfer
this hypothetical matter from one place
to another. Other physicists, following
Ediund. regard the ether and electricity
as ideutlcai, and some, the disciples of
Hehnholtz, consider it an integral con
stituent of uature, each molecule of mat
ter Laving its own definite charge, winch
determines its attraction and its repul
sion. All attempts to revive the Frank
liniaii, or material theory of electricity
have, however, to be so loaded with as
sumptions and so weighed with contra
dictions that they completely fail to re
move electricity from the region of the
mysterious. It is already extremely diffi
cult to conceive the existence of the
ether itself as an infinitely thin, highly
elastic medium filling all space, employed
only as the vehicle of those undulatory
motions that give us light and radiant
heat. The material theory of electricity

An Odd Composing Roan,
The internal organization of a Japanese
newspaper ofQce is a sad spectacle of daily
trugglo with difficulties unknown elso-whei-o
and really unnecessary here. The
Japanese written and printed character
consists of the Chinese ideographs, those
Complicated square figures untie up of an
apparent jumble of zigzags and crosses
aud ticks and triangles and tails, and of
the original Japanese syllabary called
haua. Of the former there are 20.000 in
all. of which perhaps 14,000 constitute
tne scnotirs vocabulary, and no fewer
.than 4,000 are In common daily use; while
the forty-seven simple characters of kana
are known to everybody. ThereforthA
Japanese compositor has to be prepared
tojdaee in his stick any one of over 4,000
different . types truly an appalling task."
Front tho nature of the problem several
consequences naturally follow. First, Ji
must bo a good deal of a scholar himself.::
