Tr took n Democratic Administration to
force h premium on (,'old.
With both Wilson, of West Virginia
nnd Breckinridge, of Kentucky, lecturing
011 tariff reform for the good of the cause
and HMOn night, nn ovcrwenried public
may yet conclude tbnt It waa perhaps a
mistake after all to eliminate these
xealous tinkers from the somewhat
threadbare fabric of American states
manship. Popular Interest in living
pictures of the Wilson and Breckinridge
variety Is distinctly on the wane.
The new revenue law has been iu opera
tion throe months, nud n pretty fair Idea
of its workings can now be formed. The
figures which appeared In our Washington
uevrs recently must be of exceptional
Interest to both the friends and enemies
of the WIIsou-Gormau measure. The
total receipts under the new law since
August S3 have been $01, .131,38(1 In that
time the government's expenditures have
been W3,831,178. Net result of Democratic
tariff legislation, a deficit of 131,240,732,
It cannot but add fuel to the lire of dls
xust with Democratic Incompetency to
reflect that the McKiuley bill In the first
hree mouths of its operation produced
1,802,870 In excess of the expenses for
that quarter.
A writer nuggcsts that a majority of
Che people did not vote tho bread out of
their own mouths iu 1SD2, because the
Southern states vo'ed nbout the election
trill and not about the tariff, and the
JTorthern states gave a plurality to I'resI
lent Harrison. But if a man stupidly
votes in such a fashion as to break down
liis own industry and business, because he
cares lees for them than for the mainten
ance of tho Democratic party in power by
fraudulent elections at the South, he dis
tinctly docs vote the broad out of hii
own mouth, and deserves all thoauderins
he gets. That Is not all. In the Northern
dates about 235,818 voters fooled away
.heir votes on Prohibition tickets, and so
voted tho bread out of their mouths by
refusing to sustain tho policy whioh had
sgiveu them prosperity and good wages. It
in one of the most useful lemons of that
ectlon that men cannot fool around with
third tickets, which have no chance of
success, without- taking just the same re
jonslbillty and burden, just the same
loss and sulfering, us if they had deliber
ately voted for British against American
industries. So in the Northern states tho
l?opullsts cast useless votes aggregating
fl20,775, but they knew that they were in
tact helping the Democratic party, even
where they were not actually ln open
It-ague with it, and they voted the bread
out of their own mouths as distinctly
ah If they had cust their ballots
for Clevoland and Free Trade. This
is pertinent this year, when all the
political schemers are looking to the Pop
ulists and Prohibitionists as the only
.tiopeof the Democratic party In tho next
lection. It these sham tickets, which
have no possibility of success, could di
vert votes enough ln 1S08, they would
unco more enable Democratic Free Trade
to prevail against the wishes of a large
majority. Iu the elections this year it
lias been shown that a very heavy major
ity is hostile to the Democratic tariff pol
icy and will support the Iiepubltcan par
ty, but the division by stutes still makes
it possible for people to vote the bread out
mf their mouths once more by fooling
way ballots iu a few states for candi
dates who cannot bo elected and who will
fte In effect nothing but assistant Demo-
or&ts. This is the time for voters who are
-jTarv or such trlfllutr to make the fact
ixmown to the political schemers who are
d-Auuiing to dlveit votes in the Interest
-of the Democratic party by running tick--ets
that have no chance. A straight Issue
between Democratic Free Trade and He
publican Protection can have but one re
result. The men who want to confnse
voters, and defeat the majority by setting
xrp tickets that mean nothing, are in ef
fect asking the peopU to vote the bread
-out of their own mouthi once more.

In many parts of tho Union a war is
being waged against tho bakers to coi.t
ol them to lower the charge for n, loaf
of bread to something like u fair level
with the relative price of whoat and
flonr. A barrol of the bof t Hour ooHts
tho baker now from $8.00 to f3.0l,
yet ho charges just the name 6 cents
for a loaf of bread that he did
four years ago, when Hour was nearly
twice as muoh per barrel. All other
bakers' trash Is up in iirotKirtion. Pi
plo want to know Why this is, and they
are determined to llutl out. Already
priec-s are weakening. In Borne of the
cities tho bakers havo yiolded and aro
pelling the former G cent loaf for 4 mid
11 cents. Undoubtedly broad must como
down overywhero.
The snmo is truo of beef nud mutton.
Beef onttlo havo been dull in prico for
several years past. Yet beef is just us
high as it over was. It must como down
to meet the lowered sealo of wages. If
pooplo of reduced incomes cannot pay
for moat, fortunately they can live with
out meat. They would be better off if
they did not eat so much as it is. Milk
has already fallen. Iu tho largo cities

times as low as 5 cents n quart.
Groceries havo boon roducod in prico.
This has been brought nbout iu a nota
ble way by tho great dry goods houses
entering into tho grooory trado and un
derselling tho regular grocers. The Gro
cery union has kept prices up, but tho
big dry goods houses havo forced them
down. Mombors of tho Grocers' union

Only rents btill remain at autepanio
pricos, and ovon thoy must oventually
descend from their high notch.
Ouo fact is especially to bo noted. It
is that when prices nro lowered all
around they never go back to tho for
mer high rates, but remain permanent
ly down. So it will bo in tho prosent
depression. If merchants, honseowuera
and butchers can no longer get tho
prices they usod to because working
people's wages havo fallen, they, on the
other hand, will no longer havo to pay
so much for things they must buy. So
tho situation will bo equalized all round.

Tho captain of a schooner bolougiug
Hi Bridgeport, Uoun., tolls a queer
story. He is ready to stako his word as
a seaman that his schooner was hit by
a meteor tho other day. This extraor
dinary object struck the topmast, sizzled
and swizi'.led through tho Bails, setting
tho rigging ou fire, and finally burst,
Chunks as largo as a "bushel basket"
fell on tho dock. Tho shock knocked
down tho watch and those of tho crew
who were on deck and soared them out of
a year's growth, so tho stury goes. Onu
sailor was in the rigging whan the
tiling hit, and ho was burned nbout the
legs. Tho time was oarly in tho morn
ing, just beforo daylight. The vessel's
deck was illuminatod till it was as light
03 day. It is rather against this remark
able yarn that tho namo of tho schooner
was P. T. Bamum. If tho captain aud
crow of tho schooner can show any of
tho pieces of thu motoor "as big as a
bushel basket," and if tho sailor whoso
logs wero burnod has still his wounds
to show for tho explosion, then mankind
will bo ready to boliovo that tho sohoou
or P. T. Bamum really did have a col
lision with a muteor that burst into
starry fragments and fell on tho dock,

VIRCHOW AGAINST DARWIN.
lie Saj-s a "Sheep Theory" Is as riauslble
as tho '31oukcy Theory."
Professor Rudolph Virchow declared
himself emphatically against tho Darwin
ian theory of tho origin of species at the
convention of anthropologists whioh met
at Innsbruck, virchow is considered by
many competent judges tho greatest n
thropologlsf living. ITo has probably
made more measurements of the represent
atives of various racoa and tribes than
any other specialist.
In his nddro ut Innsbruck Virchow
did not mince words in his attnok upon
Darwin, whose theories, he said, instead
of aiding the researches of anthropologists.
had been hindrances to them. "Darwin

Just as easy to como to a 'sheep theory.' "
This "monkoy theory," us Virchow
llkos to call tho ideas of Darwin, had been
hnnnful (o anthropology. Anthropology
today, however, bothered itself little about
tins thoory, which was started Bo years
ago. Anthropologists had to accept tho
actual world, and the rnco question nat
urnlly annealed to them. It was impossl
bio, in Vlrchow's opinion, to say whethor
or not n colorod race could descend from
ono not so marked. No posltivo oxomplo
existed. Such a thing ln tho enso of nn
Individual was looked upon as a patholog
ical event.

Perspective Iu Study.
Tho deepest mlstako being made today
by n certain cluss of enthuilastlo men of
Eclouco Is neglect ol tho imagination, ur
it may bo that imagination is misunder
stood and tho word is used by them to rep
resent tho faoulty which deals with un
realities. These oarnest nnd active men
seem to overlook tho tremendous result
accomplished, oven in natural science, by
tho imagination of such mon os Kepler,

Wo are all too upt to look upon Darwin as
a man devoid of tho dlvlno gift, but this

Tho student should bo permlttod to see

bring the thrill of immemorial kinship
from tho living, quivering body and tho
luminous soul within it. There is danger
that wo shall lose tho tradition of poetry

last session of tho Fifty-third congress bi
gun. Tho vlco prosident presides. The
session lieglns with a full calendar, tho re
suit of committee action during the long

covering a n-'.do range of matters. Noth
ing has transpired to indicate which of
theo 200 questions will receive first nttcn
tlon whether they will bo token in their
order, or whethor tho calendar will bo fol

Much significance is attached to Sen
ator Vriorhces declaration that ho will ask
tho finance committee to sit tomorrow
Tuesday is tho day for tho regular weekly
meeting of this committee, but It does not
ordinarily meet so promptly nftcr tho us
sembling of the senate. Chairman Voor-
hees declines to stato the object of the
meeting further than to say that It Is to bo
held for tho purpose of permitting on ox
change of views among mombers.
It is possible that Mr. Voorhecs' policy
may be to arrange n policy upon the sup
plementary tariff bills. Theso bills have
all been reported by tho committee, but It
may bo considered necessary to discuss
them further beforo deciding upon plan
of action. Tho Democratic majority of tho
finance committee is on record In favor of
the pasf-nge of tho bills, and it is not im
probable that tho early action of the com
mittee Is sought to forestall any attompt
to prevent consideration. This Is not al
together surmise, for it Is known that
some of tli so-culled conservative senators
have advised that a general pnrty confer
ence bo held for tho consideration of tills
question. Tho experience of last session
showed that whenever coucuscs wero held
tho conservatives carried their point:
Hence there is room for the prompt action
of tho friends of the supplementary bills.
There uppenrs to bo nothing outsido or
financial or tariff questions likely to ox
oito a ripplo during tho week, and It Is not
certain that, whatever may happen later
iu tho session, tliero will be much in those
lines to disturb the general serenity of tho
senate during tho next fow days
When it gets down to business tho sen-
ato may take up the cnlendar ln regular
order, or it may proceed to consider out of
order somo of more important bills which
havo been reported, such as those for tho
admission of Arizona nnd New Mexico, or
tho bankruptcy, ontl-optlon or Nicaragua
bill. In any event tho daily sessions ot the
week will bo short, with tho probabilities
strongly ln favor of an adjournment from
Thursday until Monday of next week
In tho house, beyond the passago of tho
regular appropriation hills, it seems prob-
nblo that little In tho war of legislation
will be accomplished ut tho short session,
although several important propositions
will doubtless bo pressed to tho front
Among the members of tho dominant
party in tho houso, over half of whom woro
defeated for re-election, there is a great
deal of bitter feeling against the admlnis
trutlon for real or fancied grievances. It
will be tho purpose of tho Democrats to
curb ns far as possible the dinplay of re
sentment, but the ltepublicans will span
no pains to provoke and goad their de
feated adversaries into letting looso their
vlnln of wrath
In the coutso of the session it is under
stood that the Nicaragua canal project
will lie brought prominently forward. A
the outset, however, routine matters will
be kept to tho foro to stavo off as fur as
possible unpleasant references to tho elec
tlon which would prove dlstastclul to the
majority, but this policy can bo only par
tially successful, as tho latitudo allowed
in debate on appropriation mils will throw
the doors open to remarks on any subject,
Before tho adjournment for tho holidays
it will bo necossary to poss ou appropria
tion to carry out tho tariff bill provision
levying a tax on incomes, tho collection ol
which begins Jnn. 1, and while it will no
doubt meet with much opposition and
lead to a general review of tho arguments
against such a tax tho general impression
is that it will pass by a largo majority.
Tho impeachment of Judgo Kicks,
tho uorthorn district of Ohio, will also
furnish a diversion before tho holidays If
tho judiciary committee which investi
gated the charges should present a reso
lution of Impcuclimeiit aud It should
carry. Tho trial would occur in tho sen
nte, tho chief justico presiding. Impeach
