intend recommending that the citizens

JuUlces of the Peace be given commis'
ions only npon their successfully uuder

upon the ignorance displayed by J ustices

The great expense of tho multitude ot
oxpeditions fitted out to observe tho tran
s' s of Venus across the sun's faoo on De-
comber Gth has been incurred simply to
reduce an uncertainly in tho sun's imrnl-
lox of one-tenth of a second. Although
more than n hundredth part of the whole,
Prof. Young finds this tenth of n second
to bo no moro than an unslo subtended
by a single hair nt a distauco of 800 feet.
The most probable parnllox may bo taken
to be 8.80 seconds, which signifies that
tho sun is 02,885,000 miles from uh. The
best authorities admit that tbi3 estimate
of the parallox. made from observations
thus far worked ont, mny bo innconrato
within the limit of one-twentieth of a sec
ond either way. This apparently slight
uncertainly, howover, is not to bo over
looked, as the one-twentieth of a second
corresponds to about half ft million miles.
As tho sun's distance from the earth is
the unit adopted for measurements among
tbe itars, its accurate determination is a
matter of great value to astronomy, and
the importance of transits of Venus and
Mercury rests upon the fact that they nf
ford a means of finding tho solar parallox.

BTEEL AND IRON TROUBLES.
Kpnaking of the npprehendod troubles
in tho iron trado, tho Philadelphia Led
ger, of ihe 22nd inst., very sous l y re
marks: "When theorists in political
economy find a fact, or series of facts, in
their way, and they set nbout discovering
oauscn, they Beldom fall to find some
thing to suit. Just now there is a droop
in the prices of iron and steel, some
works havo been put on shorter tirae,and
there is a prospect of n largo Bessemer
rail mill iu Missouri and two other West
ern Bessemer steel works shutting down
ontirely. This tho philosophical thcor
itss aro attributing to the recent elections,
nnd to forebodings of what Congress may
do about tho tariff some time or other
if not this year, the next, or next. It
don't seem to make any difference with
tho theorists, that the owners or manag
ers of the furnaces and mills deolarothat
neither tho elections nor any possible
future action of Congress have anything
to do with tbo matter of prices, or shorter
time or shutting down a mill or two
they go right along with their cherished
theory all tho Fame. So far as the con
lempl.ilcd shut down of these Western
steel works is concerned tbero is a plain
fact within easy roach that gives n belter
explanation than any speculation ou tbe
subject. The stctl rail ruilU in this
country havo a capacity of something
o er two millions of tons n year which
is not far from double tbe producing ca
pacity only o year or two ngo. But the
probablo demand for steel rails in the
year wo are about entering is estimated
at but little over a million tons, or nbout
half tho preeont capacity of tho mills.
Tha increased mill capacity is far too
much for tho demand, nnd tbe produc
tion has been too great for the consump
tion. This would appear to explain the
matter, so far as rail mills aro concerned
without resorting to elections or Con
cress. Uuder such conditions soma mills
mnst go on shorter timo or stop. But it
may bo said that tha reduced consump
tion expected in tho coming year is due
to tho elections or to apprehended legis
lation by Congrebs. If to, the result of
tbe elections must have been foreseen
three or four months before they occurned
beoAuso orders for railway bars that
should have been forthcoming In tho
summer months did not come, nnd hence
the slackness in tho mills before tbe
elections, which is mado conspicuous
now by inconsiderato talk after tho elec
tions. Tho matter inn nutshell is: there
has been over production of iron and
steel, which, in the natural order of
things, has broken down prices and is
reducing tbo manufacture, and this cause
has been operating for soveral months.
It is none tho less deplorable; but here
we aro dealing ouly with tho effect and
cause."

has been en tnorease amounting to 21
per cent, in lh Eastern Statu. Tn the
four years from 1B7G to 1879, howover,
there was n great decline, be causa of the
great number ot nrtisans who had taken
to farm labor iu conirqnence of tho de-
presjlon iu manufactures. This serious
ly depressed tho rate of farm wages
Since 1C79 tbo increase in Western States
has been 14 per cent, nnd in tho Southern
13. Wages generally declined gradually
from 1800 to 1875, but very rapidly from
that elate until 1879, wjieu nn equally
rapid rise began. Thine was nn excep
tion to this rule in the South, when be
tween 18CG and 18G9, iu consequence of
t'jo high prices of cotton, wages advanced.
Tbo South exhibits tbo least fluctuation
in tbe rate of wpges, this being attribut
ed to the improvement in quality nnd ef-
ticiency of labor. For example, tbe av
erases rate of wages per month was 1G
dollars, when cotton wait 30c per pound
and 15 J dollars when oolton was 12o per
pound. Statistics prove that the district
of high wages are also those of largo pro
duction and net profit in agriculture.
T.io average rate of wages at present ob-
talulng are In the Eastern States, 2C
elollars; Middle, 22; Southern. 16; West
ern, 23; and California, 38. Although
those indicato a considerable recovery
sinco 1875, there is still a decline of 20
per cent, from the inflated rates which
immediately followed tbe civil war.

It is understood that a strong effort
will be made at tho ensuing session of
CongreiaS to secure a heavy reduction of
internal revenue taxation. Tbis subject
will come before tbe committee on Ways
aud Means if enough members cm bo
gotten together in advance of the meet
ing of Congress, but ouly incidentally in
councction with the subject of the revis
ion of the tariff. The Houso bill to re
duce internal taxes passed at the last ses
sion, is still on the table of tbe Senate
enacted upon, although it has been
amended in various particulars. A mo
tion to tako it up promptly will doubt
lens be made and cirried without objec
tion whiiu tho Ht-nato meets, when other
umcudmcnts may bo expected to be ad
ded to it. It 13 not likely to get into
such a shape as lo receive the concur

Wasuinoton, D. C, Nov. 20, 1882.
There is considerable talk of coming
Cabinet changes aud among thoso wh
nre beat informed on tbe subject no
doubt existH that the expectation is well
.ounded. What the pirtioular chaugeB
will be no one I have seen is able to state
nuthoritalively. Presideut Arthur nnd
and all thti members of his present Cabi
net aro now iu tbo city, nnd it is said
have bad a Cabinet meeting devoted
largely to a discussion of the situation.
Tho prevailing opinion is that the Presi
dent desires to reorganize bis staff of ad
visers moro on n political basis than it is
now. aud, also, moro iu accordance with
his own individuality. For instance,
Frank Hatton, a practical politician, was
booked, bofore the elections, for Post
master General Howe's place; and that
the latter slill regards, his tenure uncer
tain is indicated in the transfer of his son
from the cbie-f-olerksbip ta a less lucrat
ive position in the Department of Jus
tice. At auy rate, it is known that the
.relations between Mr. Arthur and some
of his Cabinet are not as closely confi
dential as ho would like to have them.
Judge Folger. to begin with, was not the
President's first choice for Secretary of
tho Treasury. He was, however, the
choice of his New York advisers, and the
President accepted him. Soon after he
became a member of the Cabinet, tbe
Prosidont. it is said by bis intimate
friends, noticed that Judge Fulgcr had a
small-sized Presidential bco in his hat.
But the beo has disappeared. Secretary
Chandler is probably nearer to tho Presi
dent than any of his other Cabinet ad
yisers. Tho relations between Secretary
Lincoln and the President are purely of
ficial. Between the President and Sec
retary Frelingbuysen they nro mora inti
mate. Tnose between Secretary Teller,
the Postmaster General, and Attorney
General aro very formal. Tho Bepubli
caus of the West were given two places.
They solected Messrs, Howe aud Teller
for them. It is said that until these
gentlemon bail been rcqnestod to become
members of tbe Cabinet the President
had never ppokeu a word to either of
them. Of the present Cabinet Messrs.
Frelingbuysen and Chandler are the only
oues who would have been freely chosen
by the President of bis own motion.
The next House of Representatives just
elected will contain an uunsnal propor
tion of new men. The old ones were
pretty generally "left" either in the nomi
nating conventions or by the deluge of
Novomber 7th. There are 170 of the
mombers elect who have never been in
Congress before. This is a somewbatnn
exampled infu-ion of new blood and may
tend to increaso the liveliness of the leg
islative besslon of 1883-4, even if it does
givo tbo old hands a disproportionate
amount of influence to start with. Of
the 57 chairmenof Speaker Kiefer'scom
milteea only 23 have been sent back, a
fact which shows that the people and Mr,
Kicfcr do not agreo as to tbo character of
tbe men whom tha Speaker onght to
honor. Threo ex-Senators have consent-
el to serve a term in the House: Luke
Polauel, of Vermont, who must be con
siderably ovor threo score nnd ten, how

Applications from inmates of insano
asylums for their discbarge continue
with unabated vigor until one almost
gets tbe impression ns if every person
confined in such establishments were de
tained there unjustly, at the instanco of
heartless conspirators. At- tho same
time efforts are being made almost daily
to sond people to tha asylums, whoso
friends are convinced that thoy ought
not to bo nt l-.rge under tbeir.'owu guid
ance. The most notable ense of this
kind is that of Henry Tronso Cooper.lhe
fashionable English Jtnilor, about whem
tho lawyers, a referee aud a Sheriffs jury
have becnVpnzzlins; for somo weeks.
Now, I bnvo met Cooper about tovn
great deal within tbo past seven or eigli
months, and although he was generally
spoken of ns 'a d dj fool, yet no one
believed that he wns insnna. My own
candid belief is, that if some pngillKtlo
artist, like Snllivan or Billy Ednnids
were to give him a sound drubbing,
which would not hurt him dangerously
but enough to lay him np for at least a
month, they would do him moro good
than ull the physicians of Christendom
combined, Cooper was ft first class tail
or, an artist in his way. But the trouble
was that he made money too fast. This,
to use the inelegant but none tho less ex
pressive language of tho variety theatre
peoplo, set him "off his k-baso." ne
took to liquor and fast women, and at
neither was he a success. Ho drank not
w.sely bnt too largely, aud not being en
dowed with that desirable accomplish
ment oi being able to carry much, got
drimk. Not as n gentleman but as a
wretched parvenu. In his oups ho want
ed to smash things so that he wonld get
a chance to pay for them, nnd show that
ho had so much money that it was of no
value to him. Tha result was that men
steered clear of him. So far as the
ladles of easy virtue were coucered. they
did not even care to help him towards
getting rid of his money, he was such an
utter conceited ass. I do not know, but
I am informed that he made extraordin
ary efforts to ingratiate himself with not
a few shining lights of that world which
the Fret ch term the 'demi-monde,' but
both himself and his money were spurned
This summer he took to racing thinking
it to be one of tbe fashionable methods
of spending money. Finding perhaps
ho coulti. not lose it fast enough by bet
ting he determined to own horses him
self, and like all greenhorns who go on
the turf ho paid a high price for an ord
inary race-horse. He bought Woodcock
from Mr. Cecil Devereaux Holmes for
$1,000. Mr, nolmes is a young British
officer who could not live tha pace he
was led abroad as he had but a slender
income of his own, and has to wait for
tha demise of an elder relative before bo
will be able to llvo tn ease and comfort.
His accomplishments outside of his man
ners and education consist solely in his
knowledge of horses and bis ability to
ride. Coming of an old hunting and
racing family his ability in tbo pig-skin (
was noted on the other side as well as in j
Oinada where he served for a time. This '
year be became distinguished at Jerome
Park, Blieepsbead Bay, Moumouth Park
and Saratoga, for his skill in the saddle,
fairly outriding Mr. Arthur Hunter, tho
acknowledged crack American Gentle
man Jockey.and bis talent in this respect
enabled him to keep in funds. He won
one sensational victory at Jeresme Park
with Woodcock, tha horse being then
owued by Capt. Stanley Williams. Tbe
horse rau in all thirteen times this year,
but be only gained one additional victory,
and that was iu a steeplechase where ho
was in with a very light weight. The
horso passed into Holmes' hands last fall,
and It was iudced a lucky speculation for
him to pass him off at such a figure to
Cooper. During tha lestimouv iu Coop-
e-r's c-ise it caule ont that Cooper at one
time wanted to kill Woodcock and stuff
and plico him in his window as an ad
vertisement. This was regarded ns an
evidence of iusanily. IWcing people nre
inclined to look upon this as a stroke of
genius, although at tbe same time tbey
might feel sorry for Woodcock at this
attempt of depriving him of bis chanoo
for gaining glory at soma time by break
ing bis neck between the Digs when ne-
gollatlng the ugly water jump at Jcromo
Park. The whole trouble with Cooper
is that bo has been making money too
fast. Money la a very good thing to
havo but for many people it is a curse.

can society would not receive Mrs. Lang-
try. It Btrikes meXthnt when "society"
went on Its knees before such very small
fry as Oscar Wilde, who was rated below
par evon in upper Bohemia in London,
they ought not to set themselves above
such a woman as Mrs. Langtry, who,
whatever the scandal-mongers may say
about her is at nil events a lady of gentle
birth, and is one of tho shining lights of
that society in fashionable London,
where all good Americans who go nbrond
hope to look in if they are not actually
admitted. Tho truth is that the lady
has been literally overwhelmed with In
vitations, ns might bo expected. For, to
obtain such a card exclusively for ber
receptions would be a great feather in
the cap of a leader of society. But tbe
lady works so bard to obtaiu success in
ber profession that she has no time to in
dulge In Bocial dissipation. It may be
that she has offended pushing ladies by
these refusals, but in this respect sbo is
like Bernhardt, who likewise remained a
Bocial recluse during her stay in this
country. Mrs. Langtry has coma over
here for work and as her sojourn is but
brief, fche has no time for play.

with tbo exterior. Tho vault where tie
remains of the founder and his family are
to rest is as well lighted as the rest of the
crypt. At tho ends nnd Hides nro klaiued
windows representing biblical scents.
Four organs are placed iu different parts
of the church, and if its acoustical prop
erties ore perfeot, tbe musical ear will
find nothing to bo desired. The major
ity of tho windows are stained with small
figures but thirteen iu tbe immediate
viciuity of the sanctuary and pulpit show
almost the life size pictures representing
tbe Good Shepherd nnd the twelve nprs
tles. Tbo dato of the dedication has not
yet beed fixod,bnt it is lu tbe near future.
Thu stores are selling out nil tbeir
superfluous material at almost nny price
and getting ready for the Christinas trade,
for which they will exhibit an unusually
large number of novelties. Ouo of the
most charming ndditions to bric-n-brao
ornaments is shortly to bo introduced. It
consists of an open musio book in French
brique, the edges of the leaves esthetic
ally curled, tho lettering antique, and
two grey doves with their neckH craned,
tht-ir beaks wido open, and their feet on
tip too, eiulenviring to elecipber the
characters and do jubtico to tho music.
Another novelty iu china is a fisherman
at sea in n basket trying to haul out an
inqn.Uii.ive fUh at whom lu iz makirg
faces. There is an immense variety e f
lamps nnd lamp shades among tbe latter
but the most pleading one's are etched
designs upon plain poscelain, or the
covers of old lace, iu which characteris
tic medallions form part of the pattern.
Ladles iu sonrch of something new to
make for Christmas, may Dud a sugges
tion hero. A very charming aud at tbe
same time useful sofa pillow may be made
to resemble a flour sack, almost full, nnd
tied ronud the top with cord. Tho ma
terial best suited is dork green plush,
with a finely designed monogram wrought
in tho centre. Tho facing around the
top of tho sack is delicate piuk satin, nnd
the cord tied round is of tha borne color
finished with pink silk tasstls. Tho ef
fect of this is very beautiful.

Moro people have read The Sun during
the ycarjust now paining than ever lu-foro
slnco It waft rlrst prlntfd. No other nons
Iiaper published ou this side or tho earth has
icen bought nnd read In any year by so many
men and women.
Wo are creditably Informed that people
buy, read, nnd like tub Son tortile follow
ing reasons, among others :
Because Its news eolumns present In at
tractive form and with tho greatest possible
urciirncT whaturer has Interest lor human
kind ; tho events, tho deeds, and mlsdc-cds.t hu
wisdom, tho philosophy, tho notable lolly,
the solid sense, the improving nonsense all
the news oi me ousicsi worm nt present, re
volving In spaeo.
Because people have learned that In Its re
marks concerning persons and atTiIrs Tuk
Sum makes n practice ol telling them tho ex
act truth to the best or ability three liun-lrul
ai.d Blxty-tlve days In the year, beroreelic
tlon a9well as nrtcr, about tho whales ns
well as the small fish, In tho facoof dissent us
plainly ami fearlessly as when supported bv
general approval. Tim Sun has absolutely
no purposes to serve, eavo the Information ot
Its readers and tho furthcranco of tho cum
mon good.
Because It la everybody's nowspnper. No
man Is sohumbletliitTiiKSuN Is Indifferent
tohlswcllaro and his rights. No man, no
association of men, ts powerlul enough to bo
exempt Irom Iho strict application of Its
principles ol right nnd wromr.
Ilea aiso In puhtli-s It haslought for a dozen
years, wlthi-ut Intermlssdon nnd sometimes
almost nlono among newspapers, tho nttlit
that has resulted In the roeentoverwlioliulng
popular verdict ngalnst Rubesonlsm and fur
honest government. No mutter-wliat party
lain tiOMer. Tuts Sun stands ami will con
tinue til stand llkou rock for Iho Interests of
the people against the ambition of bosscs.tho
encroachments of monopotts's, and the dis
honest schemes ofpub'.lo robbers.
All this Is what wo tire told almost dally
by our friends. Cine man holds that The
Sun Is tho ben religious newspaper ever pun
Hubert, because Its Christianity Is undiluted
with cant. Another holds that It Isthab'St
Republican newspiper printed, because It has
