Who Professor Hind IL.

Professor Hind, whose charges of fraud in the
preparation of the statistical information on which
the Halifax award WAS based have been brought
very clearly to the attention of the Dominion GOV
ernnent, is man of character fully entitled to
attention on such a subject. He is an Englishman
by birth, cultivated scientist and has been for
many years in the employ Of the Canadian and
Newfoundland government While professor of
chemistry and geology in Trinity College, Toronto
he was called upon to serve as geologst upon gov
ernment expeditions, and subsequently had com
mand of similar expeditions to Labrador His dis
coveries of fishing banks the coast led to his ap-
pointment to the command of al expedition for
making a thorough survey of the Labrador coast
He was about to start on this work when he was re-
called that he might give scientific information to
the commission on fisheries award, and while in
Ottawa he discovered omissions from the statis-
tical returns for which no satisfactory expIana-
uons were given at the time. All the documents
were subsequently placed in his hands to analyze
and index, and these charges of fraud are the re-
suit of his examination. The testimony of such
man, though it may. not be conclusive certainly
makes prima facie case that the Dominion gov
ernment cannot afford to ignore 1t is not question
of valuation but one of quantities and it ought to
be a very easy matter to ascertain whether the
figures submitted to the commission were true or
raised or lowered, as might be desired, to make
strong case for the Canadians. 1t will be time
enough to consider what further is to be done after
Professor Kinds charges of fraud have been proved
or disproyed.-PhUddetphi Ledger.

The Same old Sfarx

The story of Charlie Ross is revived by the sim.
ultaneous declaration that he has been found in
the Cherokee Territory, and that he was probably
drowned by his captors, Mosher and Douglass, in
New York Bay. The last story is not worthy of
credence, and the first is discredited by the boys
father. There are good reasons 70 suspect that
Westervelt, who has lately been released from
prison. after serving sentence for his part in the
crime, knows more than he has yet told. He was in
negotiation shortly before the killing of Mosher for
surrender of the boy to superintendent Walling
of the New York police; meeting preliminary
to the final surrender of the child was arranged by
Westervelt and but for the oyerzeal of detective
whom Mosher discovered watching the rendezvous
selected, the boy would probably have been re-
turned If Westeryelt knows of the child's where
abouts he is not likely to tell without reward and
the promise of immunity from punishment for any
additional offense incurred in concealing the fact
This crime and that of the theft of Stewards body
have one peeuliarity in common; the eulpritS are
well known to the detectives yet the difficulty of
securing the return of child or body seems insur-

The Drama of the Future.


A new light has certainly dawned upon
this century when the minister of an in
telligent and cultivated church congrega-
tlon deliberately proposes to accept and
utilize the drama. The antagoniSm that
has heretofore existed between these diff
ferent forces in society-the church and
theatre-has been thought irreparable.
The preachers have denounced the
theatres, and in turn the theatrical folks
have turned their contemptuous sallies
upon what they have termed the
hypocrisy of the churches The public,
while listening to both sides, has gen.
orally made up its mind that, in degree
at least, both sides are wrong. And now
comes minister to confession. Mr.. Tai
mage says:
The dramatic element God implanted in ninety
nine out of one hundred of u.s. 1t will drag out
and climb over and trample under foot all effort
at suppression. If you cannot guide it into right
directions it viii plunge into wrong ones 1t will
be either angel satyr. We want il an institlI-
ton Independent of church and independent of
theatre. The church tries 10 compromise the mat
ter by giving entertainments of various sorts,
sometimes called chsrades or magic-lantern ex-
hibitions, or something to which for fifty cents
you can go and see David and Goliath" or
Joseph Sold into Egypt" or "::Little Sam
uel Woke" The chief difference between
such exhibitions and the theatre is that they are
not SO skillful. In the church your participants
are amateurs, while in the theatre there are men
and women who are giving their whole lives to
the study of their particular parts. Because the
ffty-ee exhibition in the church is not SO well
done as that in the theatre you think it is nearer
to being pious. The old elders do not object to the
performance because they do not want to make
trouble and the minister atones next Sabbath for
the dramatic exhibition in the church by anathe-
matizing, in manner a little more vitriolic
and brimstony than usual the playhouse And so
all are cheated except God.
He also says that he expects to see the
day when, without bringing upon himself
the charge of inconsistency as Chris
tan, he, a minister of the Gospel of the
good old Presbyterian Church, can
60 and see, at a new institution, Ham
let" king Lear" The Merchant of
Venice" and Joshua Whitcomb."
Dir. Talmage proposes, as a means of
elevating the theatre and bringing it up
to the standard required, that towns
SnotIu organize i0iolihSu ahuSeilient
associations" whose object shall be to
elevate the drama and eliminate from it
the features to which Christian people
object. Mr. Talmage certainly deserves
commendation for the worthy and good
purpose eyinced in his plan. 1t may be
that theatrical people will now turn
around and give some suggestions of adj
vantage to churches.

s5tcb;.on i'm the Cabinet

A few days agoa series of resolutions were rushed
through the Legislature indicating the Hon. John
F. Bagley as the preference of the people Of this
State for place in President Garfeld's Cabinet.
The attendance in the two houses was very thin
when these resolutions were introduced, and little
ton it has been discovered that they do not ex-
press the sentiments of the people on this subject
while ii has been developed that Michigan has
several other candidates for place in the Cabinet
Prominent in this catalogue may be mentioned
the Hon. Jay A. Hubbell, member of Congress
the Hon. Henry p. Baldwin, United States Senator;
the Hon. James F. Joy, of Detroit, and the Hon.
Thomas w. Palmer, also of Detroit. Were the sub
ject resubmitted to the Legislature today there is
little doubt that the Hon. Jay A. Hubbcll would be
the man selected In fact it would not be sur
prising to see the resolutions in favor of Mr. Bag
ley rescinded and memorial forwarded TO Presi-
dentelect Garfield declaring Mr.. Hubbell to be the
choice of the Legislature for Cabinet position

In the tender tones that fond hearts prize

What the country expects is that no
halfhearted Republican or assistant Dem
ocrat shall 60 into the Cabinet, or any
where near it. This is not good year
for political eunuchs. The Republican
party had we'll nigh perished on four
years of the milk-and-water diet of con-
eiliating Democrats and apologizing for
having Republican party. The revival
| of last summer and autumn came from a
change to meat. We have elected Stall
wart Republican President, and his cleo
ton was made sure by the assurances
given the people that they would not be
cheated as they have sometimes been in
the past General Garfield said to the
Ohio electors at Mentor on the ID of
| December:
When that omnipotent sovereign, the American
people, speaks to any one man and orders him to
do his duty, that man is under the most solemn
obligations CT obedience which can be conceived
except that which the God of the universe might
impose upon him. Yesterday, through your votes
and the votes of others in the various States of the
Union, it is probable (the returns will show that
our great political sovereign had laid his COM
mands upon me. Ifhe had done so am as bound
by his will and his great inspiration as could be
bound by any consideration that this earth can
impose upon any human being. In that presence
therefore, stand, and am awed by the majesty
and authority of such command In so far as can
interpret the best aspirations and purpose of our
august sovereign, 1 shall seek to realize them
You and and those icho hare acted scih as in the
years past believe that sovereign loves liberty
and desires for all the inhabitants of the Republic
peace and prosperity under the sway of just and
equal laws.
This should silence the doubts of all
who are told by irresponsible chatterers
that General Garfield contemplates the
appointment to his Cabinet of any man
who has not "acted with us in the past.''
4 SUGGESTION is made to THE REPUBLI-
CAN, which is turned over to the proper
committee on Inauguration ceremonies.
1t is that promenade concert be given
in the Museum building the night after
the grand ball, the decorations to remain
in place, and the best of music to be fur
nished, but the entertainment to be at
price not exceeding fifty cents 1t is
thought that large crowd of people who
do not care to dress for the grand affair,
or whom other circumstances might pre-
vent from attending, would go to the
cheaper entertainment, and will be dis
appointed if they can take no part what
ever in the Publications of the season.
There are, of course, great many people
who would attend such a popular enter
tainment, which may be elaborated upon
this suggestion; and the financial result
of it might be of advantage to consider.
THE apprehensions that exist that the
cost of living will continue to increase for
some time to come is not founded upon
the probabilities in the case. Vennor,
Canadian prophet who has been men
toned several times this winter, says
that the mild spell with which jan
uary closes viii continue with balmy, |
