I'AHIH , Oct. r.-lNcw Vork Herald Cablc-
( Spct'lnl to Tin : Hit.l- : : The Hcr.ild's Euro
pean edition publishes the following reply by
the ccrobratcd Trench astronomer Camille
Klammnrlon to a communication of Prof.
Holden , cabled from Kick observatory :
I hnvo been waiting with some degree
of curiosity the communication of Prof ,
lloldcn on tbo planet Maw-more so because
I hoped thnt the clever observers of the
observatory on Mount Hamilton , with their
powerful Instruments , would coiiilrm the
observations made at Mllon of the strange
formations of lakes and seas. I have been
somewhat disappointed in noticing that no
mention Is mndo on those particular points ,
Mr , Holden Is aware Hint the California as
tronomers have observed the canals of Mars ,
but ho Htntes that he does not know what the
spots on Mars signify. Ho says : "Thomark-
Ings of reddlsn yellow have been supposed to
bo land , the dark have been supposed to be
water ami the whitish ones to bo snow. It Is
entirely uncertain. "
The Interpretation generally admitted by
astronomers is without doubt hypothetical ,
but wo are exactly in the position ot nn ob
server who should examine the earth from
afar say from the planet Venus.
The seas would appear to him
darker than the continents because
they absorb the sun's light , and polar snows ,
like clouds , would seem of a brilliant white
ness. IIo might think thnt the simplest way
of adjusting tbo differences of various ob-
bcrvers wni to admit In fuel thnt there nro on
the terrestrial globe continents , seas ,
polar snows nnd clouds. 1 rcc-
ognlzo , ni docs tbo learned director of
Lick observatory , thnt therein wo have
nothing but hypothesis , that it is moro neces
sary In the cause of pure science to not even
mnko such suggestions , but to say , simply , I
do not know what are these dark spots , I do
not know what nro these polar white spots.
I do not know I A very simple ono could malto
the same reply to every imaginable question.
What is the human skull ) I do not know
what is the nerve system ; 1 do not know what
is the origin of Mnn : I do not know
how It is that the sun heats us ;
I do not know I It seems to 1110 tnat
if wo nro always content with this answer
humanity would still bo In the ngo of carved
Btono and the caverns inhabited by rhinoceros
nnd bears , For my part , although agreeing
that hypothesis Is their limit and that it
would bo very little sclcntiilp to launch
ourselves out of sight * into the
unkown , I feel I owe the greatest sympathy
with these men who , like William Horschcl
for example , seek to llnd an explanation
from what they observe Willhm Herschel ,
of whom Dr. lloldcn has himself written a
pniiopyrlo on his genius in editing
recently the bibliography of his
immense works. William Herschel
wrote the following lines about the planet
\ mnrs. Don't let us forgot thnt William
Ilcrachclls ttio greatest observer and astron
omer thnt over lived.
"The analogy between Mnrs nnd the earth
Is , perhaps , by far the grertest In the whole
solar system. Their diurnal motion Is nearly
the snmo and the obliquity of their respective
olliptics , onwhich the seasons depend , is not
very different. If , then , wo find that the
glebe wo inhabit has its polar regions frozen
and covered witn mountains of snow that
only melt when alternately exposed to
the sun , I may well bo permitted to
surmise that the same causes may
hnvo the snmo effects on the
gloho of Mnrs ; that light polar spots are
owing to vivid reflections el light from frozen
regions , nud that the reduction of these spots
is to bo ascribed to their being exposed to tno
sun. "
William ncrschel adds that , ac
cording to his observations , polar snows
nro most extended after the long winter
of twelve months of Mnrs nnd almost entirely
melted after the summer. He speaks little
further on the clouds which lloat In the at
mosphere of Mars. Conclusions in ninny re
spects similar wore arrived nt December 1 ,
1783 , moro than n century ngo , in the philo
sophical transactions of the Hoynl Society of
London re f. , vol. 81 , pp. COO-7S.
Certain of the rlgorists may assert thnt
this WToecupatlon Is not of a scientific order ;
that It would bo moro sedate of us to hold to
n maxim of not seeking nfter anything.
It seems to me , however , that lloldcn
sees himself things In .a higher light than
that. Ho has certainly asked himself if the
white polar spots on Mnrs nro not really
BIIOW and whether the dark spots do not represent -
* resent sons. Ho cannot think other-
wlso. It Is well enough for him to
cay that wo hnvo not proved them
yet ; that wo are not absolutely sure. lie has
too broad Ideas on all things not to feel that
the explanation is perfectly scientific , and nil
spectral analyses have shown that there
Is rarely nny waters on Mnrs. it exists
somewhere : snow aud clouds are composed
of It. It remains to bo seen whether water is
not reddish nnd continents bluelsh. If
Holden thinks so , ho will bo matt ing a
less tennblo hypothesis than the llrst. For
my pnrt , I could not see any great objection
to It. Instead ot observing this year seas cut
in half It would belauds ; but in my turn I
would i also the objection that the "thing is
more difficult to admit. I have before
mo nt this moment on my work
tublo about four hundred drawings
of the planet Mars , showing as plain as day
light thnt constant changes are taking place
In the dark spots. Water being a very
changeable clement , explains these changes.
It would not bo the same thing wcro It n
terra tlrma. Also , whilst admitting
with Mr. Holden that wo have
not not yet como In contact with the
inhabitants of Mnrs , I think that wo stand lu
respect to that planet in the position of nn
nngol which should pass nt soiuo distance
from the earth. Ho would neither distinguish
the observatory of Mount Hamilton nor the
tower of Eiffel. Ho would say to himself there
is air and water , earth , clouds , seas , seasons
nnd climates ; perhaps nature , whoso fruitfulness -
fulness is Infinite ; perhaps so mo races of
animals moro or less reasonable have been
bora thoro. His not assuredly perfect. Indeed ,
It seems to have succeeded poorly enough
with Its cyclones , Inundations , earthquakes ,
voloanoos , contlagrntlons , epidemics , fogs
rains and colds , but why , after all , olould
there not bo some species Inhabiting that In
ferior planet who try nil they can to llvo
there us well as possible. The
would be right , because ho
vould not guess that man Invented
vnr nnd that that was his favorite oecupu-
IonVo will not seek , either , the way In
vhlch the Inhabitants of Man pass their
line. That would be purely hypothesis. Wo
hould not llnd out. But that there nro on
Mars continents , seas , Inkcu , clouds ,
mows , nnu ttmt rapid changes vlsl-
) lo from hero in telescopes take
ilucc , is what the illustrious directors of the
jbservntory nt Mount Hamilton must admit.
'What wo should like to know at this moment
s whether the clever Ivecler nnd Htirtiham
mvo also observed this ye.ir the cutting up
of thu seas and lakes of Mars.

SU.T Mien , Utah , Oct. 5. [ Special Tele
gram to Tim HII : , | The sixty-first annual
inference of the church of flatter Day Saints
began yesterday. According to the book of
covenant by Joseph Smith , the year 1S91 Is
the tlmo for the coming of Jesus Ctirlst. The
natter came up in tlio conference. President
Woodruff said : "I do not think any ono can
.ell the hour of the coming of the Sou of Man.
[ think those things have been sufllcicntly
revealed to us , so that wo need not look for
the ttmo of that event to bo mad o known. I
will say hero that In my dreams I have had a
great many visits from the prophet Joseph
since his death. The last time I met him
was in the spirit world. 1 met him at the
.cmple. IIo spoke to me , calling mo by nnmc.
Hosald : 'I cannot stop to talk to you , for I
un In a hurry , ' I met Father Smith. He ,
too , said to me , 'I nin in n hurry. ' I met a
great many apostles and others who are In
the spirit world , and they all seemed to bo in
n hurry. I marvelled nt this , mid wondered
very greatly In my miml why anybody should
belli a hurry In the paradise of ( ! od , I had
an Interview with the prophet Joseph after
ward , and asked him the question , ' \Vhy \ are
you all in such a hurry hero ? I have always
been in n hurry in the world since 1 wns born ,
hut I thought there wouhl bo no occasion for
it when I died aud entered the spirit world.1
IIo replied : 'Well , I will tell you. Tlio
prophets and apostles in this dispensation
have had no tlmo nor opportunity to prepare
themselves to go to the earth with tlio great
Hridcgroom when IIo goes to meet the Bride ,
the Thumb's wife. Wo in this dispensation
have not had time.Vo have llrst as much
work to perform to prep.u-o ourselves ns in
other dispensations.1 He said that the tlmo
was at hand for the coming of the Son of
Man , for Christ to go forth in fulfillment of
the revelations. I have had many nn inter
view with President Brighnm Young since
he died , nnd had a great many teachings
from him and f rom others who held important
positions in the llesh , hut who have gene into
the spirit world , and seem , in a measure , to
have nn interest and watchful care over the
chinch and kingdom of God , though they
have passed to the other side of the veil. "

CHICAGO , Oct. 5. Ono of the most brutal
listlc encounters ever witnessed in this vicin
ity took place early this morning In n barn
near Shelley , Ind. , between Tommy Kyan of
Grand Uaplds , the light weight champion of
Michigan , and Con Doylo. n local pugilist of
Chicago , weighing 137 and 130 pounds respec
tively. The light was to a linish , with two
ounce gloves , fora PUI-MJ of STiOO , Qtoensberry
rules. Tlio battle was for blood from the
start. Ryan , who was evidently the most
scientific of the two , managed to avoid Uoylo's
heavy lefthanders and in turn hammered the
Chicago boy's face andbrcnstalmost to mince
meet. At the end of the twcnty-sovcnth
round It was cuident that Doyle was used up ,
hut nevertheless ho wanted to light further.
Despite the fact that hi * oycs wcro closed ho
staggered to the ecu tor of the ring , almost
crazy , and Insisted on lighting it out rough
and tumble , His second threw up tlio sponge ,
however , au'd Uyan was declared the winner.

gregatlonul preacher nt the City temple , has
a perfect genius for getting himself talked
about. Hols now delivering sermons lasting
exactly sixty seconds , each ono in strong con
trast with his brother divines , Today ho
devoted the whole sixty seconds to the sub
ject of sacramental wine , and managed to get
in ICO words before time wns called. "It is
high time , " ho said , ' -thnt Intoxicating wine
Is banished from the sacramental .service. It
has driven men to intemperance , I nm also
opposed to the use of tt o vllo concoction t'y )
which in some Instances Intoxicating wino
has been displaced. " This objection to

prising , ns a certain pastor Is credited with
the employment of zodono for that purpose.
The preacher concluded his oration by de
claring in fnvor of plnhi water , adding that
there are not two side ) to the question , but
only ono , namely , that adopted by Parker.

arly while ho was absent from

No ono need bo surprised to hear of an
other assassination in the Second Arkansas
congressional district , whcro John W. Clay
ton was so brutally murdered two years ago.
The democrats have rcnomlnnted Clifton K.
Brcckcnridgo , the republicans have endorsed
the union labor nnd farmers' alliance candi
date and General I'owcll Clayton , the ex-
senator nnd brother of the murdered manhas
gene into the district to manage his cam
paign. Ills friends hern have received letters
from him , In which ho says that
the li-suo of the campaign is the
vindication of Brockcnridgo from the chax-go
that ho was Involved in the assassination.
No ono believes that ho wns directly con
nected with the crime , but every one believes
that the assassins were his friends nnd that
the deed was commuted to prevent the ex
posure of the ballot box frauds by which ho
was elected to congress. It is also pretty
well established that hU Intimate friends
shielded the murderers and havoso prevented
their punishment. Oencr.il Clayton writes
that he goes Into the district to see that there
is an honest ballot nnd a fair count nnd that
ho realizes that ho goes with
his life In his hands. Ho has
been repeatedly warned not to appear
there , and ho Is aware that the snmo men
who killed his brother are only waiting for
an opportunity to assassinate him. The dis
trict is naturally ropxibllcan. But for the
frauds two years ngo Drecklnrldgo would
have been defeated , and General Clayton in
tends to spend most of the campaign In the
county whore they wore committed. Ho has.
passed through a great many dangers in his
career in Arkansas during nnd since the war ,
but his life was never in such great peril as
now , and those who nro familiar with the
situation expect daily to hear of his assassi
nation.
Miscr.n.AMnous.
The oftlcers of the Indian -bureau have In
formation which leads them to believe that
tbo agitation among the ; Indians over the
expected coining of Christ , of which a great
deal has been said in the newspapers , has
been caused by Mormon emissaries. This
view of the case is also held by a number of
army ofllcers who tire familiar With the Indian
situation.
Men who served ns United States deputy
marshals during the elections of 18S8 will bo
interested in knowing that the appropriation
to pay them for their services was included
in the general deticicncy bill as It was finally
signed by the president , nnd that the money
is now ivixllnblo for this purpose. The ap
propriation covers o ly the dellciency of IbbS
and amounts to something like $ iir : > , U)0. )
Those who served in a similar capacity In
previous years , nnd who nro still waiting for
their pay , will have to wMt some tlmo longer ,
iindttio chances are that tlioy never will get
it. Kvery state in the union is interested in
this appropriation.
Tlio so-called colonization scheme which Is
exciting the democrats so much at present
because of the movement on foot to llnd
homes for the colored men of IS'orth Carolina
in communities where they will bo more wel
come , is nothing buttho legitimate oppression
nnd disfranchlsement of the negro in North
Carolina and other southern states. No ac
cusation has yet been made that the coloniza
tion is other than absolutely legitimate. Ills
simply a question of ( hiding a place of resi
dence for men who uro umvolcoina
in their present homes , and be
cause It is being engineered by some
republicans the hue and cry is raised.
If the leaders of this movement should under
take toroionlzoa few thousand negro families
in Alaska or Utah there would bo no objec
tion on the part of the democrats , but because
it Is proposed to take the men to well-settled
states n great ado and a big sensation Is nude
over tbo affair. But In spite of the cry it is
likely that the plan may bo carried out and
the negroes given nn opportunity to earn a
living , where they will ho more sure of de
cent treatment and where their ballots will
bo as sacred as nro those of the whites.

JACKSON , Mch. , Oct. F' A band of white
caps has inaugurated a system of a most out
rageous character in this city under the very
dome of the Michigan state prison. A few
months ago two harhcrs , Cruson and Hill ,
opened a shop in this city nud started in on
cut rates. Their course at once aroused the
enmity of all the other barbers in the place ,
who used every moans to induce them to
leave town. They first attempted to
buy them offwith a big bonus. Hav
ing failed in tliia they sought to
buy out the interest of Cruson , hut
ho persistently refused to sell. The cheap
prices proved a drawing card nnd gradually
the shop wns doing the bulk of the business.
Whether the regular barbers Avero at thu
bottom of it or not , a system of hitter perse
cution has pursued these men for the last two
weeks. Their wives were Insulted on the
street nnd practically .ostracised from all so
ciety and their children were Jeered nt by the
other school children , but the climax was not
reached until ycstera&y , when n white cap

nn-rnoiT , Mirh , , Oct. 5. [ Special to THE
IHi-If : : tlio experiences of other states
with prohibition mnysccin ns lessons to In
struct the citizens of Nebraska how tovolo
In the coining election on the prohibitory con
stitutional ninetulinent , they hnvo only to
look to Michigan to llnd -\vholo text hook of
arguments against adopting such a policy in
dealing with the liquor trnfllc. Michigan is
under high license now , but it hail prohibi
tion fora Ions time twentyycars from 1S53
to 187 , " > , and It gave it n most thorough trial.
That It discarded it after such a prolonged
test speaks volumes for tlio failures of the
principle. .Tho trial was. In fnct , of more
than twenty years' duration. A. prohibitory
clause was Inserted in tlio state constitution
In ISfiO , and In 18Vi the Maine liquor Inw was
enacted. This was amended In 1S55 and re
mained in force up to 18775.
Hero then Is n western state that hnd pro
hibition for twonty-livo yeiin , n much moro
extended period thnu the law lias been In
operation In Kansas or Iowa. Its experience
with It was both Interesting and Instructive.
Every effort was mndo to en force the law ,
which was certainly severe enough.
"Tho prohibition , " said Hon. George "W.
Moore In an address before the Detroit board
of trade , some time ago , "was as absolute as
It could bo mndo. The ingenuity of the ablest
lawyers , preachers , business men , legislators
and women was exhausted in devising
penalties and means of enforcing them.
Liquors wcro declared no consideration for a
debt , and any sale of otlicr goods where
liquors wcro part of the trade was declared
unlawful and the debt could not bo collected :
It was declared that every person
Injured by such sales should bo able to sue
the seller nnd recover damages ; that owners
of the buildings should bo also liable ; that
nny lease of premises where liquor was sold
could be declared forfeited ; that every act of
selling should boa separate offense , punish
able with fines not exceeding $100 and im
prisonment up to six months , until the lia
bility of every liquor dealer In thu state
would aggregate perhaps hundreds of thou
sands of dollars and imprisonment for many
lifetimes. Common law rules of evidence
wcro changed to make convictions easier , and
the simple solicitation of any intemperate
person to drink subjected the mviter to the
penalties provided for the seller. "
And yet all this legislation went for naught.
The law soon fell into contempt and bccaino
productive of the greatest evils. Saloons
were conducted openly In defiance of all pro
hibitory legislation , and the liquor dealers
wcro upheld in their course by public opin
ion. At luat the condition of tilings bccaino
Intolerable. In 187 : ? , two years before the
law and the constitutional provision were repealed -
pealed , them were nearly eighty-five hundred
saloons In the state. Realizing that some
thing must be done and that prohibition was
the root of the evil , the temperate and law-
abiding citizens banded together nnd swept
away all this otmoxious legislation , enacting
in its place a moderate license law. . , T >
The improvement was immediate. Within
n short time 3,000 of the lowest groggerios In
the state were swept away , offenses against
public pence nnd order decreased to n marital
degree , and the liquor interest , which for
twenty-llvo years had paid no taxes to tlio
state , was made to bear its fair share of the
public burdens. The following table shows
how the license law worked in restricting the
number of drinking places , the last live years
of prohibition and the llrst 11 vo of inodcrato
license being given :

It must bo admitted that this Is n very fa
vorable showing fpr the license system. Un
der high license , which is now the state .law
of Michigan , the improvement has steadily
continued until there are today , notwith
standing tlio great Increase in population ,
fewer drinking places than there were fif
teen to twenty years ago. Millions of dollars ,
which wcro lost under prohibition , are now
received annually from the license fees nnd
contribute materially to lessen the burden of
taxation.
That the people of Michigan prefer thcso
substancial results to the fallacies ot prohi
bition , was conclusively shown three years
ago , when , In concession to the importunities
of the prohibitionists , who loudly claimed
that a lurgo majority of the voters favored
their side , a constitutional prohibitory amend
ment was submitted to tlio people. It was
rejected by a vote of 161,231 to irxjKM. tlio
majority against it being fiOI5 , H is be
lieved that the majority would bo con
siderably greater could a vote bo taken on
tlio question now.
lUiehlgan hat a local option law which al
lows counties to decide whether or not liquors
shall bo sold within their limits. This has
worked very satisfactorily , Counties whcro
the prohibition sentiment predominates buvo
no saloons , nnd in others , especially those
containing large towns and cities , whcro the
sentiment is different , well regulated saloons
are allowed under the restrictions of the
high license law. Tills seems to bo the most
sensible way of dealing with tlio liquor ques
tion , Certainly the people of Michigan ,
after an experience of twcnty-llvo years with
prohibition , prefer it to that humbug , and
their example is respectfully commended to
the Intelligent voters of Nebraska as a good
one to follow. It ,

this city tonight of a sensation at Bedford ,
Ia.t which has caused n great deal of excite
ment in that little city. Wesley Brown , a
young and rather good-looking minister , -went
to Bedford about a year ngo totalio charge of
the Christian church. Ho was a graduate of
an eastern college nnd was highly rocom
mended. Ho hardly located until his nttcn-
tioni to the young lady members of the flock
caused comment , but it-was not until the past
week that the city was shaken by a volcano
of jealousy which broke out in tlio choir.
The Hoy. Brown has pledged his affections
to at least live girls lu the choir and un ex
change of confidences on their part has given
publicity to the matter. The girls lindliig
they had been duped carried their story tc
the trustees of the church and the Itov.
Hrown's resignation was promptly demanded.
Tlio church h now without a pastor and
Brown has left for parts unknown. The
affair has caused iutcnsacxcitcmentln church
circles , and ns the young ladles are highly
connected indignation at the pastor's action
is at fever heat.
