Your aditorlal on tbe beginning of tbe new century begs the question , Yon state that there wet no year 0 in the Christian era. How do you know. Th, point at issue between the disputants iu this controversy Is precisely this ques tion of fact : Was there or was there not year 0 iu our modern system of reck oning date. It is said we canot have a csntury un til we have a hundred units and a bund- red units complete. No one denies this elemeutary proposition. Tbe question of the beginning of the etntury does not at all depsnd on this. It depends on the manner iu which you uurk down your units. It takes a hundred dollars to make a dollar-century. Iu order to bave this century you must have a hundred units. The minute you add a cent to $99.99 you have 100, and you bave completed your first dollar-century. Add another cent and you are in your second dollar cent tury. It you havb $1,899.99 you bave eigh teen dol'ar-centuries and yon are in your nineteenth . Add a cent and yon have $1,900, tbat ie to say nineteen dollar centuries. Add another cent, $1,901.01 and.you are in your twentieth dollar century. You don't wait until you are able to write down $1,901.00 to state that you are in your twentieth dollar-cent ury. The reason of this fact is that in cur system of counting dollars we begin with 0 and not with I. When we are in our first dollar tor instance, we write down $00.25, $00.60, $00.75 and sjon. This system is also used in c '.anting distances. If we start from San Francis co to San Jose, we find the first mile stone, not at the starting point, but a mile from the city. At the starting point the cyclometer marks aero. If we keep taliy ol the atones as we pass along, the moment we mark down one we are in oar second mile. The moment we have put down nineteen, we are begin ning our twentieth mile. What now is oar Christian era? It is a system of measuring distances. We ask ourselves bow far ars we from a fixed point? ally, the incarnation. The use of the Christian era is to tell us how lar we are from that point. It is the tally or rec ord ol the time-distance. Now it is clear to you that when we re at the starling point we are at zero. Therefore, tbe first 3 ear must be the yearO. For example, suppose we are reckoning events that happened from the very beginning, how should we pro ceed? Naturally we would say the first month or tbe second month, oi the sixth month. Just as if we had to w rite down 1 cent or 2 cents or 8 cents, we should not write $1.01 or $1.02 or ll.Ort, bat $00.01, $00.02, $00 06. Ia the same manner we should not say A. D. 1 March or A. D. 1 April or A. D. 1 August, but simply thejmonth of the incarnation or tbe April after the incarnation or the August after the incarnation . We have no right to count a year nntil we bave finished it, according to tbe root princi" Die of our adversaries; therefore, we bave no light to set down the year 1 un- The WMI these da e.

It ie to he hoped this borealia is not like Its nameeaku a mass of bright rays that pass away anu are seen oniy rarely. A Seattle paper eays it has suspected for some time that John II.

TELEGRAPHIC One of tin greatest jokes of the day ie the recent statement of Rockefeller that God gave him his money. A New York suit for $1.03 has already cost $1339. One of the greatest needs of this twentieth century is a bigger fool killer. Salem, Alba ay and Corraliis ere pret ty well represented at Bumpier, which they evidently intend to take. May they 'j be point is convention- J take the gold by the lumps. The Chicago Times Herald goes so far as to say that one who cannot see that this is the twentieth century can't count or reason and ie idiotic. While it ie a plain case to it e Dkkockat It is easy to see bow peopb can rtiffer on such a question, and the Democrat knows some very nice, bright people who think we will not be in the twentieth contury for eleven months and fourteen Uays yet. !?tl Boer V let or y.
