MORE ROSEBUD COMMONWEALTHS IN THIS THAN IN ANY PREVIOUS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. Until the admission of Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming, which, for the first time, are to vote in a Presidential election this year, the increase of the number of new States did not keep pace with the growth of the population. From 1860 to 1890 the population of the country increased from 30,000,000 to 60,000,000, but only five new States were admitted to the Union during that time. Kansas was admitted in 1861, West Virginia in 1863, Nevada in 1864, Nebraska in 1867, and Colorado in 1876. The political complications attending the admission of Colorado were numerous. The agitation for Statehood began as early as 1864, when an enabling act was passed and a State Constitution was adopted. Congress agreed to the admission of the State, but President Johnson vetod the bill. In 1867 a second act to admit Colorado passed both Houses, but it was balked again by veto. Another State Constitution was adopted in 1876, and the State was admitted in August of that year. At the election of 1874 the Democrats had carried Colorado by 2,000 majority, and, confident that the Territory had swung into the Democratic column for good, the Democratic House passed the bill of admission and the leading Democrats relied on the three electoral votes of Colorado in the contest of 1876. The Legislature of Colorado took upon itself the choice of electors instead of submitting it to the popular vote. In the Legislature were fifty Republicans and twenty-four Democrats, and consequently Hayes and Wheeler received the three votes of the State. As it turned out, Colorado determined the result of the Presidential election, for with- The following transfers of real estate have been recorded during week: Char. B.

Diseases which arise from a chill are peculiar to no season of the year. This is true, therefore there should be in the closet of every household—what! Not an unmedicated stimulant, absolutely devoid of anything but an excitative action, but a tonic combining, in the effective form of an invigorant and an alterative, the quality of defense against changes of weather. Hostetter's Stomach tilters has three or four properties that no other article of its class possesses. Not only does it relieve the complaints which it eventually curse, it fortifies the system against the bad effects of changes of temperature, fatality and too often shown in the deadly grip—by induce radical change in the weakened condition of a system peculiarly liable to be attacked by it, and it tends to provide against the danger resulting from an impoverished condition of the blood and a disordered state of the liver or bowels.

When first introduced postage stamps were sold in solid sheets, it course a great many were wasted in the effort to tear them apart when there were no perforations. Indeed the loss and inconvenience was so great that the Government diared a liberal reward for a patent which would overcome the difficulty. The first machine submitted was one which cut the stamps nearly but not entirely apart. While the Postal Department was considering this machine the idea of perforating the sheets in rows each way was offered and promptly accepted. Nothing better has ever been sought. There was a time when better paper and mucilage were used and when the printing was an improvement upon the present stamps, but since we have learned that a damp sponge is fully as good as the tongue in preparing the stamps for adhesion the quality of the materials used becomes of less importance. The number of postage stamps used in a year is something enormous. For instance, the ordinary postal revenue for the year ending June 30, 1991, exclusive of the money-order business, was $65,065,293.87. Of this $41,432,129 50 came from letter postage. The bulk of this is, of course, in 1876, and the State was admitted in August of that year. At the election of 1874 the Democrats had carried Colorado by 2,000 majority, and, confident that the Territory had swung into the Democratic column for good, the Democratic House passed the bill of admission and the leading Democrats relied on the three electoral votes of Colorado in the contest of 1876. The Legislature of Colorado took upon itself the choice of electors instead of submitting it to the popular vote. In the Legislature were fifty Republicans and twenty-four Democrats, and consequently Hayes and Wheeler received the three votes of the State. As it turned out, Colorado determined the result of the Presidential election, for without its three votes Hayes had 182 electoral votes and Tilden 184. The six new States have, collectively, twenty electoral votes, and unless all present indications are at fault they will be cast in favor of the Republican electoral ticket this year. There is, however, likely to be a dispute in the matter, for the preferences of the electors in each State will be determined by popular vote, and not by the intervention of the Legislature of either State, as was the case in Colorado sixteen years ago. Idaho has an area of 84,800 miles and a population of 84,835. Covering an area larger than the whole of New England and the State of New Jersey, it has less population than Los Angeles had during the boom, and if its population should be diffused, not enough inhabitants are within its boundaries, or were not at last census, to leave one person to a square mile. Idaho was pretty steadily Republican while a Territory. Out of 18,000 votes it gave the Republicans a majority of 1,700 in 1888,and 2,300 in 1890. It has a Republican Governor,and the Legislature is Republican in both branches. Montana is the closest of the new States,and the only one in which the Democrats may have a fighting chance. It was partly on that account that the selection of Thomas H. Carter as Chairman of the Republican National Committee was agreed to; for Mr. Carter is a Montana man,and his influence as Land Commissioner was extensive in that Statewhich.it is supposedwith reasonhewill be able to holdin line for Harrison.Montana is more sparsely settled than Idaho. It has an area of 146,000 square miles,and a population of 132,000. It is bigger than England Ireland Scotland Wales Holland and Belgium combined.It was carried by the Republicans by 5,000 majority in the election of Congressman in 1888.A year later it swung over to the Democratic column by a majority of 580,and in 1890 it was so close that neither party had a majoritybut 'the Democratic candidate for Congress had a plurality of 283 votes in a total of 31,000.The State Legislature is divided,the Democrats having the Senate and the Republicansthe House.On joint ballot the Republicans have a majority of one vote.All the State officerswiththe exceptionof Governor,and allof the Supreme Court JudgesareRepublicans.

It has an area of 75,000 square miles and a population of 182,000. As a Territory it was never carried by the Democrats in an election, and it is in an unpromising field for Democratic recruits. The present Republican Governor beat his Democratic competitor by 6,000 majority even in the year of the Democratic tidal wave, 1890. Its State of officers are Republican, and both branches of the Legislature are Republican. Of the thirty-eight counties in the State, the Democratic candidate for Governor two years ago carried only five. In 1888 North Dakota gave a Republican majority of 12,000. The State has three electoral votes, the same as the other new States, with the exception of South Dakota and Washington, which have four each. South Dakota is but a little bigger than its northern neighbor in point of square miles, but it has a population of 328,000—less than half of that of Connecticut. South Dakota is one of the States in which the Farmers' Alliance was particularly strong two years ago. James H. Kyle, who calls himself an Indocerat, is one of its United States Senators, and the Farmers' Alliance candidate for Governor in 1890 polled 24,000 votes, against 34,000 for the Republican and 18,000 for the Democratic nominees. At the election of the previous year, however, the Republian majority for Governor was 30,000. The State had a special election to fill a vacancy for member of Congress last year, and not contested actively, it resulted in a Republican vote of 17,000, a Farmers' Alliance vote of 14,000, and a Democratic vote of 7,000. All of the State and judiciary offices are held by Republicans, and both branches of the Legislature have Republican majorities. The population of the State is increasing rapidly. Washington, although spoken of generally as one of the new Northwestern States, belongs more properly in the Pacific slope group, and is divided by mountain ridges from the agricultural States of the Northwest. It covers 69,000 square miles, and has a population of 349,000. It is overwhelmingly Republican. It gave a Republian majority of 7,388 in 1888, and 6,300 in 1890. The total vote of the State is 60,000. All the present State officers are Republians. Both branches of the Legislature are Republican also; the Democratate having only 4 of the 34 Senators and 17 of the 78 Representatives. Twenty years ago the States of the Pacific were looked upon as rather inclined to the Democratic side in politics. Oregon went Democratic in 1868, and Grant Seymour in the same year in California by only 500 votes in a total of 100,000. In 1876 the Republican plurality in Oregon was 500, and at the election of 1880 California was so close that its electors were divided. Oregon went Republican by 356 votes, and NEW STATES. COMMONWEALTHS IN ANY PREVIOUS PRESIDENCE. of Idaho, Montana, Dakota, Washington for the first time, are final election this year, number of new States did growth during that time, 1890 the population from 30,000,000 to live new States were during that time, in 1861, West Virginia ,Nebraska in 1867, the political commission of Colorado admitted in August election of 1874 the Colorado by 2,000 that the Territory democratic column for house passed the bill leading Democrats reversal votes of Colorado. The Legislature of itself the choice of mitigating it to the poplegislature were fiftynity-four Democrata, toes and Wheeler reof the State. Colorado determined the final election, for with- Nevada went Democratic by 770. Since then the movement on the Pacific coast towards the Republican party has been steady, and now all hope of carrying these States is almost abandoned by the Democrat. In 1888 Harrison carried California by 7,000 majority, Oregon by 6,600, and Nevada by 1,900, notwithstanding the fact that the representatives of these States in the Chicago Convention protested against his nomination on the ground that his attitude on the Chinese question, when United States Senator from Indiana, would cost the Republicans hundreds of votes in the Pacific States. Wyoming, the sixth of the new States, has an area of 98,000 square miles and a population of 60,000. It has not many more inhabitants than Los Angeles, but it has three electoral votes, a Governor and other State officers, and all the privileges of Statehood. Wyoming is strongly Republican. It went Republican by 2,800 in 1888 and by 1,700 in 1890. Its State officers are Republican, and both branches of the Legislature have Republican majorities. Democrats of Wyoming cast at the recent election 7,000 votes, but they get more than that to win this year, or, indeed, to come near winning. It may be said, therefore, that unless the political situation is changed entirely before November the Democrats need not expect and will not receive a solitary electoral vote from the six new States of the Northwest that have been welcomed into the Union as rosebud commonwealths of enormous latent advantages, but would probably be more welcome in the political arena if they were more evenly divided between the two parties. The Democrats would appreciate the value of the accession more if it followed instead of preceding a Presidential election. THE PLANET MARS. SPEEDING AWAY FROM THE EARTH AT AN INCONCEIVABLE VELOCITY—WHAT WE LEARNED OF IT DURING ITS OPPOSITION. The planet Mars has started on its return trip. It is speeding through stellar space FOR THE CANDIDATES. METHOD OF FILING CERTIFICATES OF NOMINATION, ABOUT WHICH THERE HAS BEEN SOME DOUBT. Under the provisions of the new election law of this State certificates of nomination of all candidates for public office selected by nominating conventions must be filed either with the Secretary of State or with the County Clerk. In the case of certain officers, such as Governor, members of the State Board of Equalization and others of the same general nature, the law is perfectly plain, requiring the certificates of nomination to be filed with the Secretary of State; but in the case of State Senators and Assemblymen to be some doubt as to what certificates should be filed. The code is perfectly plain upon this point. It says (Section 1189): "Certificates of nomination shall be filed with the Secretary of State for the nomination of candidates for the offices to be filled by the electors of the entire State or for members of the Board of Equalization, State Board of Railroad Commissioners or House of Representatives. Certificates of nomination shall be filed with the County Clerk or Secretary of the legislative body of any incorporated city or town for the nomination of any candidate for an office under the government of any city or town to be filled by the electors of such city or town. For all other nominations to public offices certificates of nomination shall be filed with the Clerks of the respective counties wherein the offices are to be filled by the electors, and where the district or political division embraces more than one county such certificate must be filed with the clerk of the county in which the candidate resides, and the name of each such candidate as specified in the certificate of nomination shall be certified to by such County Clerk to the County Clerks of other counties within the district or political division not less than 15 days before the day of election." Section 1193 provides that "Not less than..." THE PLANET MARS. SPEEDING AWAY FROM THE EARTH AT AN INCONCEIVABLE VELOCITY—WHAT WE LEARNED OF IT DURING ITS OPPOSITION. The planet Mars has started on its return trip. It is speeding through stellar space away from the earth at a rate of 120,000 miles per day. When it shall come again near to us as it has been during the now declining month it will have traveled the inconceivable distance of six hundred million miles. Many interesting things have been learned of this ruddy planet since its near approach to the earth, and now while it swings through its giant orbit away from us it will be useful to note what we discovered about it during the time of its opposition. The first sight of Mars through an observatory telescope is almost terrifying, even for a person of good nerves. It is as if one saw the whole earth, with its ice poles, as a solid globe, floating overhead. One distinguishes clearly the dark blue seas and the brilliant, beaming, many-hued land—and on this dry beds of a multitude of lakes, bays, gulfs, streams and canals, these latter either parallel to each other or crossing one another at right angles. As you continue to look you note the variations of color and of light and shades; and, further, that the outlines on one edge of the disk pass out of sight, while on the other the landscape expands; you see that Mars revolves on its axis, and that the ends of the axis are the frozen poles, as with us. There is a further resemblance in the inclination in the axis, which provides that on this planet also the seasons follow each other in regular succession. The ice crust at the poles diminishes in summer, and this affords demonstration not only that Mars is influenced by the sun's rays precisely as we are, but also that the air and water are identical with ours. In fact the meteorology of Mars is now reduced to a science. Judging the two planets by superficial characteristics, however, one must admit a condition implying a higher degree of development in Mars. The continents of the earth, as seen from a distance, present a very torn appearance, and occupy scarcely a third of its surface, while Mars is girded on both sides of the equator by one continuous mainland, intersected by a network of canals and rivers, the land occupying approximately three-fourths of the whole planet and the water one-fourth, as a consequence of which it may be that its atmosphere is less clouded and vapor laden than ours. peculiarly characteristic is the arrangement in which the geological nature of Mars has laid the streams (canal). All our streams, without exception, are tortuous, and all increase in width as they near the ocean. On Mars, on the contrary, the streams flow in straight lines, and are of uniform width from source to mouth. These streams, from 70 to 100 kilometers apart, have their banks so well defined as to suggest the idea that they are subject to intelligent regulation. It is hardly possible to conceive that two parallel canals, intersected at right angles, have a third as in Ontario, can be nation of any candidate for an office under the government of any city or town to be filled by the electors of such city or town. For all other nominations to public offices certificates of nomination shall be filed with the Clerks of the respective counties wherein the offices are to be filled by the electors, and where the district or political division embraces more than one county such certificate must be filed with the clerk of the county in which the candidate resides, and the name of each such candidate as specified in the certificate of nomination shall be certified to by such County Clerk to the County Clerks of other counties within the district or political division not less than 15 days before the day of election." Section 1193 provides that "Not less than twenty-five days before an election to fill any public office the Secretary of State shall certify to the County Clerk of each county within which any of the electors may by law vote for candidates for such office the name of each person nominated for such office as specified in the certificate of nomination filed with the Secretary of State." This provision applies to nominations for offices filed with the Secretary of State, but not to nominations for offices filed with the several County Clerks. The Secretary of State clearly has the determination of the question whether a party is entitled by law to a place on the official ballot, but when nominations are made by petition the provisions of Section 1189 must govern. The law provides that certificates of nomination are required to be filed with the Secretary of State not more than sixty days and not less than forty days before the day of election when the nomination is made by electors. Certificates of nomination required to be filed with the County Clerks must be filed not more than fifty nor less than thirty days before election when the nomination is made by a convention, and not more than fifty nor less than twenty days before election when the nomination is made by electors. Election day comes this year on the 8th day of November. Counting back it will be found that the fortieth day before election will be the 28th day of September, and the thirtieth day the 5th day of October. The 28th day of September, then, will be the last day on which certificates of nomination can be filed with the Secretary of State by nominating conventions, and it is proper to advise all the counties that it will not be prudent for them to hold their conventions too late if they want to get their certificates filed in Sacramento in time. There are certain contingencies and accidents of transportation which cannot be provided against, and only safe way will be to hold the convention and start the certificates on their way to the Secretary of State at least eight or ten days before the limit for filing. Every nominating convention should have its work all completed not later than the 20th of September at the very outside. Straws Show Which Way the Wind Hews. EDITOR GAZETTE—In order that your readers may see something of what the Sunday Law people are driving at I send you a abort extract from an editorial item in the Pacific, a Congregational paper published in San Francisco. In speaking of the bill recently passed in Congress making eight hours daily time for labor for all laborers and mechanics on public works, it says: "If Sunday work is not discontinued we doubt very much if lessening the hours on other days will do much good. And even that will not be enough; the Sabbath must be properly observed, and workmen educated in spiritual things. Idleness is not a good thing for the evil inclined." Comment is unnecessary.

It is hardly possible to conceive that two parallel canals, intersected at right angles by a third, as in Ophir land, can be the work of the elementary forces of nature. The question suggests itself again by the two canals which flow from ocean to ocean through the island Hellas, crossing each other at right angles in the center. Not less questionable is the origin of the great blue lake of the sun in the center of Keppler land, with its three rectilinear canals connecting it with the ocean. But what most excites our astonishment in connection with these canals is that almost every one of them is doubled, i.e., it has its parallel canal alongside of it, but visible at intervals only. This has thoroughly perplexed all investigators. The earth has nothing analogous to aid us to a solution. On this account the return of Mars is looked forward to with considerable interest. The improvement in optical instruments within the past decade may probably help to solve the riddle, or perhaps, what is still more probable, may present more riddles of solution. The occasion of Mars' next return will be the first time for fifteen years that we shall have an opportunity of examining his south polar region. Apart from the scientific interest which attaches to these observations, it is an immense gain to our intellectual culture to overthrow the pride, born of ignorance, which in the earlier centuries prompted man to regard this earth as the one inhabited sphere of the universe. Right equals for all planets appears to be the law of nature, which certainly has not expended all her forces on this dark clod of ours. Bucklen's Aristica Salve.

EDITOR GAZETTE—In order that your readers may see something of what the Sunday Law people are driving at I send you a short extract from an editorial item in the Pacific, a Congregational paper published in San Francisco. In speaking of the bill recently passed in Congress making eight hours the daily time of labor for all laborers and mechanics on public works, it says: "If Sunday work is not discontinued we doubt very much if lessening the hours on other days will do much good. And even that will not be enough; the Sabbath must be properly observed, and workmen educated in spiritual things. Idleness is not a good thing for the evil inclined." Comment is unnecessary. If the writer of that item does not mean enforced attendance at church and spiritual education of the laboring men, we would be pleased for some one to explain what he doesmean. Yes, the Sabbath must be properly observed, and the proper way to observe the Sabbath is to go to church, listen attentively to the discourse of the priest and promptly pay for the same. Then the workmen must be educated in spiritual things. How can this be done unless we listen to our spiritual instructors? When one-third of the people of this boasted land of liberty can get a law to force the other two-thirds to be Christians we certainly will have a Christian Nation, and the mellenium will soon be ushered in. Buena Park, August 15, 1892. Governor Murphy of Arizona has received information from the Equitable Mortgage Co. of New York that $75,000 has been deposited as a guarantee that they will accept the $1.,000,000 Territorial bonds at par, and the contract has been forwarded for signature. The bonds number twenty of $50,000 each with interest at 5 per cent, payable semi-annually, and are to pay off the Territorial county and school district indebtedness. Some of this cannot be paid at present and $1,$000,000 will probably be sufficient although the board can issue $500,000 more if necessary. There have been many perplexities in the sale of these bonds. Farson, Leach & Co. of New York once bought the bonds at 97 per cent, but refused to take them because they had not been legally advertised. Congress removed the obstruction, but the Territory then refused to take the same offer. Farson, Leach & Co. have been ignored in the last sale and they threaten to sue the Territory. Attorney General Herring thinks they have no claim. Marble Work.
