corse the revulsion against demo
creiic outrages in ; the legifclature
that the party in full possession of
tlie state government for the crime
will hardly dare, even at the com
maad of David B. Hill, to venture
upon' taking: of a state census and
feasing upon it a redisricting of
the State for the election of members
of the State Senate and Assembly
in such' manner as to make both
branches of the Legislature Dem
ocratic for the ensuiner decade.
That is the purpose of Hill; that has
been his design ever since he rose
to supreme power within his party
in his State. There is nothing: in
his public career to render it possi
ble that he will desist from his pur
pose because of any . consideration
for the lights of the people or pub
lie decency. With him in politics
the only question has been whether
a thing can be done and whether it
will be for his immediate personal
benefit to do so. At present it is
plainly his opinion that his person
al interest demand a State census
and a new apportionment of Sena
tors and Assemblymen among- the
sixty counties of the State, and he
is not likely to be turned- from his
design by the rebuke he and his
party have just received at the polls
in the spring- elections.' Some of
his followers may ; hesitate- in the
Legislature but they will- speedily
be forced into line.' ''
It is, however, consoling to know
as is learned from the late elections
that the people of New York are at
last aware of the danger with which
they are threatened and : that they
can undo at the next election what
ever of damage Hill and his tools
can now do. l hey will require a
majority in the Legislature large
enough to overcome an executive
veto, but if these springe elections
are any indication of popular sen
timent they will be sure to have it
While Hill is hunting in the South
for delegations to the National Dem
ocratic convention, the people of his

Iowa's Democratic Reformers.
- Iowa s democratic senate has 78
servants to wait on its members
that are paid regular salaries out
of the state treasury, while the re
publican house has only 56 and
yet the republican senate has just
twice as many members as the dem
ocratic senate.. Iowa's tax-payers
thus have a conspicuous illuetra
tion of the economy and "Jefferson
ian simplicity" of the reformers who
have been so industriously howl
ing for reform while franticly
struggling to reach the tate.treas-
ury. me Kegisier wm oe pieaBea
to hear from the tax.payers of the
state in thib- regard. While Iowa
has been almost steadily republi
can, Mas no debt and low taxation,
Indiana has been as
conswmiy .
democratic, now has a state debt of j
$lJ,000,COO, and has always had h:gher ,
taxatisn than Iowa. The Register
has constantly warned the tax
payers of Iowa of the threatened
dangers of democratic government,
and the' warnings have now been
verified in the profligacy of the "re
form" democratic senate,' the very
first opportunity democratic Mre-
formers" have had in over 30 years
to get both hands and both feet in
Iowa's treasury. Such is "reform"

formers." Register.
DAVID B. HILL can not break into
the white bouse with a jimmy, says
Governor Peck, of Wisconsin. The
governor then adds, so that he may
not be misunderstood. "He and
the other political burglars associ
ated with him will come to grief be-
fare election day." -This is strong
language and we are very sorry that
Governor Peck did not speak
sooner, when the republicans were
drawing their indictment against
the state of New York. But all that
time the Wisconsin humorist,' ' like
most domocrntsthought it was ex
tremely funny to see Hill .-steal a

Kurope appears (t9 have preceded the
great earthquako. of Nicomedia. which
occurred August 12, A- D-'328. Two
years later in all the eastern provinces,
of the Roman Empire there was a
"dark day" which was so dark as to
make stars visible at noonday.
From further descriptions one might
consider this the result of a total
eclipse, . but astronomers say that
neither the eclipse of March 4, 360, nor
that of August 28 of the same year was
visible in the countries mentioned.
During Alric's siege of Rome, 4J9 and
41 A. D., there were' several days "aa
dark as the nights which preceded and
followed them." In 537, 567 and 620.
we find mention of long periods of
diminished sunMght. According to
ischnurrer, "the sun darkened in an
alarming manner on August 19, 733,
jvithout there being the least possi
bility of an eclipse being the cause."
The Portuguese historians record
several months of diminished sunlight
in the year 934, which terminated by
an apparent opening in the sky "from
which loud sounds issued, the noise
sounding not unlike two giants quar
reling." 1091, on Sept. 29, (not 21,as
given in some translations of Hum-
Eold't "Cosmos") the sdn turned sud
denly black and remained so for thro
hoars. - For days afterward the black
ness had disappeared the sun gave out
a peculiar ' green light, which occa
sioned ereat alarm.
, : Schnurrer next mentions a dark day
is June, 1191, but astronomers at-
i tribute it to the total eclipse which
was visible in the greater part oi &u
rope on Jane 21 of the year mentioned.
Several dark days are recorded as hav
ing occurred in February, 1106, the
darkest being the 4th, 5th and 12th.
On the 5th a orient star was seen
shining "only a foot and a half from
the 'blackened remains on the sun."
"On the fast day of February, 1206,"
says Cortevza, a Spanish writer, "the
sun appeared to suddenly go out,
causing a darkness all over this coun
try for about six hours." - The super
stitious writers of the time attribute
the great darkness of Vljr-ll Ur God's
displeasure aver the result of the bat
tle of Leignitz; the sun being so ob
scured as to make it necessary to
keep lamps burning until after, the
ninth hour. . ',
Prof. Schiaparelli, who has been col
lecting data concerning that uncanny
event, ; is now inclined to refer the
cause to the total eclipse of Oct. 1241.
Kepler tells us, his authority being
Gemma, that there was a sun-darkening
in : 1547 which lasted for three
days Aug. 22-25 which finally end
ed by the sun "appearing to be suf
fused with blood to that degree that
stars were visible at noonday." Amer
ica has experienced several dark days
during her short historical life, the
most memorable being that of May 19,
1780, when the darkness was so great
that all the people of New England,
with the exception of a sturdy few,
were terrified almost to the verge of
distraction. St. Louis Republic.

Physically it means that she weighs
about 117 pounds, and that, if an
American, she is somewhat taller than
5 feet 1 inch. Observations taken by
the French academy relative to the
average height of 1,107 Frenchwomen,
without shoes, show it to be that
much. Dr. Sargeant, from 1,835 ob
servations, concludes that' the Ameri
can woman is nearly two inches taller
than the average daughter of France;
ana ur: uairon, an ngusnman, iu nu
measurements, found that the women
of Great Britain are the tallest of the
three, they exceeding Miss Columbia
by fully, half an "inch. v In the matter
of weight, though, American feminin
ity is slightly ahead, though the fig
ures are not given. .
Madagascar.
- The island of Madagascar has two
distinct climates, two. classes oi na
tives, and two classes of fauna and
flora. The island is about the size of
France. Along the coast it is tropical
and malarious, and the natives are
darker, and larger than in the in
terior.. The interior is a high table
land and mountainous. There the cli
mate is cooler and the natives small
er and lighter in color than on the
coast. But in the interior they are
more intelligent and they rule the
island. '
