Minister to Spain

The President has APPOINTED Caleb
Cushing, Of Massachusetts,, Minister
70 Madrid, having accepted the resig-
nation of General Sickles The Sc
lection Of man 50 distinguished as a
jurist, diplomatist and scholar to rep
resent the government as a Minister
to Spain must be at this time faycra>
bly, regarded by the country when our
affairs with Spain arc in somewhat
unsettled condition. Caleb Cushing
was born in Essex county, Mass, in
the year 1900. He graduated at
Harvard when II years of age, and
was admitted to the bar AZ 22. lie
was elected to the State Senate in
1926, and in 1920 visited Europe. In
thefollowing year he published "Reta-
iniscences of Spain and "IIistory
and Political Review Of the Revolu-
ton in France. He represented his
district in Congress for four terms,
from 1885 to 1913. He acted with
the Wings until 184I, when he united
with President Tyler in his hostility
to the Wing measures and went over
to the Democratic party.
He was identified with the Demo-
cratic party until the close of Presi-
dent Pierce administration, since
which time he has kept alooffrom poll.
tics and party strife ard devoted him
self to bis fayorite studies Of law
and the science Of government. In
1914 he was appointed commissioner
to China and negotiated the first trea-
y of the United States with the GOV.
eminent of that country. He raised
and equipped at his own expense a
regiment for the Mexican war, in
which he was promoted to Brigadier
General. In 1852 he was appointed
a Justice Of the Supreme Court of
Massachusetts, and was Attorney
General Of the United States from
1853 to 1857. He was also a member
Of Geneva Conference representing
this government in the settlement Of
the Alabama case.

Some Very Plain Talk from Lead
ing Republican Journal.

The people ask for a vindioation of
the honorable name Of the American
Congress. 1t is not satisfactory to
be told they have compromised"
the matter by determining to reduce
the amount so disbonorably obtain.
ed. tis as ifSpain had proposed as
compromise that we should say no
more about the propriety of the cap
ture Of the. VrginiuS, while they sur.
rendered whatever old lnnk might
be found 10 the ships blige. What
the nation regards. and will hence.
forth regard more seriously than ev.
err before, is not the loss of a few
hundred thousand dollars more or
less, but the loss of dignity; not the
extravaganza, but the debasement of
public morals. No tax could be 80
oppressive or dscouraging as these
repeated evidences of decentralization
in high places. They poison the
fountains of virtue all over the land
and in this direction General Butler,
twice repudiated by Massachusetts,
is a fit leader.
Gentlemen Representatives, Re-
pubiicans or Democrats, who follow
such leading, you may believe the
people are not blind. The Represen-
tative who one day urges new taxes
or new debt before an attempt is
made to reduce expenses; the next
day presents and advocates a bill
prepared by the counsel of bank
rupt law; and the next day rise to

era demands.
Do what you may; the principles
involved in this salary business will
De among the issues on which the
country will pass judgment. Your
attempts to whistle them down the
wind will not avail. That part Of
the Republican party which assists
or countenances such attempts will
be defeated Neither President nor
Cabinet, nor prestige nor patronage
nor the cant of demagogues, can
save it.
The moment it is clear that cor
rupt and corrupting influences have
procured control of the Republican
party and cannot be shaken off
there will be new birth in politics
The forwardness Of preparation
among the people for such a contin-
geney Is much greater that is com.
monty supposed. The event in
Washington since Congress assem-
bled have not tended to quiet APP
preheusions that the Republican or

A Prophecy of Science.


from ire new tGfh IlithANs 49, -
Prof Alexander Winchell's lecture
at the Cooper Institute, on Saturday
evening, was the last OF his course on
Geology, and was entitled "Glimpses
into the Future. Having in his pre-
vious lectures shown the probable
origin and formation Of the earth and
the worlds that make up the universe,
he in this lecture described the final
end of this world, as ioreshadowed
by the results of scientific research
His argument was that the planets
were eventually preeipitated into
the sun.
The comets. be said, were winding
up their careers faster and faster, and
| in the end will be precipita.ed into
/ the sun. 1t has been said that there
is continual rain of particles upon
the sun, and that by their impact its
heat is kept up. But If tins was the
case, the mass of the sun wonld. be
increased, which is not shown to be
fact; again, these falling masses
would not be enough to keep up that
heat. The returning periods Of the
comets are growing shorter; they al.
ways come back a little too soon.
The earth is shortening its year and
drawing nearer to the sun. All the
planets are blowing their way
through resisting medium, and
many years ago IL began 10 be calcu.
lated that would be the end Of that
resistance. We have abundant tvi-
dence of that resistance. 1t is we'll
demonstrated that the light from the
sun is propagated n the form Of unv
duLations.> The light OF each star has
trembled along its path on the wings
OF either IN some eases FOR 700 600
years. Through The resistance Of
this exceedingly tenuous tluid, ali the
planets OF onr solar system are des-
tined TO be preeipiiated into the sun
and become one totally refrigerated
mass
That is the result toward which all
these activities are tending Ii
seems as though all this was but q
series OF Incidents towards the attain
ment Of an ultimate equilibrium. All
the stars have their own proper mo-
ton, some approaching each other
others separating 1t is 81 id that oul
system is approaching the constella,
ton Hercules The conclusion is OBJ
vious that if these suns are executing
their movements around centars O
gravity, through this resisting med
ium, they will ultimately be precipi-
tated upon these centers. The evi
dences are that our sun is moving il
an orbit so large that it will take Is,
10000 years to go over it once. II
has been shown that there was be.
ginning within finite time, and VIZ
have traced q continual progress
Therefore there mast be termina-
ton within finite time, however vast
the period may be. This is one d
the cycles of matter, and it seems
probable that when this end OF The
period is reached, when the force,
of matter stop, the arm of the Al
mighty will again be stretched out

IDENTIFY contends that the Changers

cover that the aggregate of their sales
IS reduced to one half. They must
add a large proGt to what they do
sell or fall behind their rivals and fail

In respect to farming implements at
least, there seems to be but one posi-
BILE mode of annihilating the middle
man. 1t requires a gigantic, co.ope-
rative corporation, possessing at all
times ready capital, say Of $4,000
or 100000. With this capital the
company or corporation could either
manufacture for itself OF could buy up
and monopoize the products of one of
the great manufacturing establish
ments in the West. Would it be
more economical to the farmers to in.
vest his capital in this way than to
pay the present exhorbitant premium

makes it the manufacturer interest
to dispose of most of his machinery in
this way, not only because it multi.
plies the sales, but it tends to reduce
the middle-man's charges the more
he sells; and self preservation requires
the manufacturer to tax the charges
OF the middle men, even upon the oc-
casional sales he makes for ready cash
at his own shop. But large sales fol
ready meney or the purchase of the
entire products Of his m anufactory
would enable him to sell the whole at
10 OF Is per cent. profit upon the cap
ital invested.
Now if it cost but SIS to make a
sewing maching and say $50 to make
reaper, it docs not follow that the
maker can sell them for a small pro,
fit on the actual cost. The price de.
ponds mainly on the number of
machines he can sell. If such an
establishment as Mccormick could
sell but twenty machines during the
year it must realize a enormous price
for each machine or break. By multi
plying the number Of purchasers and
enlarging the area of consumption
the ''middle-man" insists he has re-
duced the price of every thing we
buy. If the self.intorest of neither
the manufacturer or consumer in its
natural action cannot sqnelch the
middie-man, it will be hard to it by
artificial means.

The Crops Of the Country,

We get the following crop eati-
mates of the Department Of Agricul-
ture from the October and Novem-
Der Monthly Reports. Although not
absolutely correct these estimates
are based on the best information at.
tainable, and are therefore, valuable
as close approximation: The Wheat
crop Of the whole country is estima-
ted at 100000, 900 bushels, an in
crease Of 4 per cent. over that of last
year, and making the crop equal 10
to any since 1869 and falling ten per
cent behind that.
The Corn crop is estimated at 858,
600, 900, bushels, or IS per cent. of
the crop of last year-a decrease of
233, 600 600 bushels, and the quail
ty is generally poorer than last year.
The Dat crop IS 8 per cent. less
than that Of last year; Rye 2 per
short.
The Potato crop is estimated at
about $4,000 O0O bushels, or Is per
cent. less than last year.
The Hay crop is estimated at about
% 100000 tons or decrease of a
little over two per cent. from last
year.
1t will be noticed that, except in
the wheat crop, in which an increase
of per cent. is reported, every
crop in 1873 falls short of that of 49,
Y, and that in the great staple, corn,
there is falling of of nearly one
fourth in quantity AID marked loss
in quality. These facts you'd indi-
cate better prices, and certainly
make care in the use Of all grain adj
gisable by farmers.
