AT THE point where the River
Euphrates bursts through the
Tawrus range an important archie
illogical discovery has been recently
made by BaYarian gentleman. In
a Wild, romantic district he found a
line Of megalithic monuments
averaging between sixteen aud
eighteen metres in height, bearing
Inscriptions, and in quite remark
able state of preservation. Herr
Lester, the dlscoverer's name, has
no doubt that they formed part of
some great national sanctuary, dat
ing back come 5000 years or more.
It is known that there formerly ex-
listed at this place a metropolis of the
old Commagene Kings, so that it is
argued that it seems reasonable to
attribute the colossal monuments to
this ancient people, the hereditary
foes of the Assyrians.

EVEN PENNsYLvANIANs

EVEN PENNsYLvANIANs are
speaking right out in meeting
against the outrageous injustice of
the present tariff. Mr.. Curtin says /:
sThe inequities of these laws are
perfectly monstrous, ard it is for
tunate for Pennsylyanians that the
people generally have not taken the
trouble to look into this matter. y
The system was devised, he says. to
meet the emergencies of war when
cur credit was worth nothing
abroad and very little at home. and
heavy duties were imposed indis-
criminately without any regard ia
the ability of people to pay. 1t is
shameful, he adds, that the laws en-.
acted as a war necessity have been
allowed to remain on the statute
books during the seventeen wears
since the war ended. Although he
IS a tariff man, he earnestly desire:
20 have the system reformed.

FIT be the fact, as cabled, that
Gambetta's brain weighed only
thirty-fve and one-half ounces, then
there must be some truth il the as
se1tion that the quality of the brain
is quite as important as the guam
tity. The brain of CuYier, the
great French naturalist, weighed,
however, between ffty-nine and
sixty ounces, and those of Napoleon
and Daniel Webster about fifty
seven ounces. On the other baud,
the brain of Chalmers, political
economist and founder of the Free
Church of Scotland, weighed fifty
three ounces, while that of an ig.
norant and brutal negro who died
lately in this country, was found to
W eigh sixty ounces.

THE LOT of federal officials at
Washington is anything but a happy
one. During the campaign last fall
they were made most miserable by
the persistent demands of HubbalPs
blackmailing committee for funds
to pay the republican party's cam
paign expenses. Then their imme-
date bosses had to have another
percentage for state purposes, in
some instances, as in the case of the
unhappy Virginians, the percentage
being more than Hubbell cook. The
clerks and officials were heartily
glad when the election was over.
Now there is an association at
the capital, organized for the pur-
pose of building a monument. to the
memory of the late President Gar
field. 1t lately held fair which
proved almost failure, and now its
managers have hit upon the happy
idea of sending circulars to the de-
partment clerks for voluntary cor
tributions, and a systematic canvass
will be inaugurated. 1t is a shame
that these officials should be raided
for any such purpose. The fact that
this class of individuals, and no
other, is selected by the monument
association for voluntary contribu-
tions to the fund, condemns the
whole scheme. Surely government
department clerks should be the
last persons to whom appeals are
made for such a cause.

THE WASHINGTON correspondent
of the Boston Journal says: st is
very seldom that the European pow
ers send one Of their first-elass men
here, especially since the electric
cable enables the secretaries Of state
of different lands to correspond d.
rectly." All of which is true, and
it suggests the propriety of asking
why our government should COLI
tinue sending high salaried minis
tiers to European countries. If any
important business with fogeign
power arises, the minister does not
settle it, but the matter is arraigned
directly from Washington through
the cable. Hence where is
the use Of keeping up ex-
pensiYe FOREIGN establishments?
They add no dignity to the country,
and are certainly not filled by first
class diplomatists. They are sim
ply a means of rewarding promi-
nent party workers, who cannot
otherwise he provided for. Dorsey's
lately published correspondence
with Garfield shows that Morton
was made minister to France sim
ply because he gave literally from
his private pnrse to help elect the
late president. There is fine sll-
airy attached to the office of minis
ter, but nothing else. 1t is probably
necessary that we have consuls at
some of the chief foreign ports, and
commercial centres: but the rest of
the diplomatic service in countries
between which and America the
electric wire runs. ought to be abol-
ished, both because it is expensive
and is without benefit TO our gov
eminent or American citizens.

The NEW YORK Sam desires to
see the Congressional Record sup
pressed, and says that it is cloak
for indecency, a tall feather for
vanity, a stalking horse for dishon-
esty, slave for wounded self-love,
crutch for lame dignity, a STEP
ladder for personal ambition, a
convenience for the shirks, waste
paper basket for unappreciated
oratory. In short, it is anything
and everything except whatit pre-.
tends to be. The official journal OF
Congress should either be reformed
and run on square principles o.
abolished altogether.

STEEL armor plates for vessels are
now constructed capable of resist
ing the perforation of a 1000 pound
projectile discharged by a 100 ton
gun. It is said that hereafter the
effort will not be to perforate
ships armor, but to crush in the
whole side by the impact of pro-
jectile weighing two or three tons,
and having a striking velocity of
1900 feet per second, and a total
energy of about 100000 foot tons.

THE DEBTS OF THE SOUTHERN STATES.

THE DEBTS OF THE SOUTHERN STATES.
The borrowing of money for use
by States began about 1880, and at
that time the aggregate debt of all
the States Of tho Union was only
about sls, 100000. During the next
decade the States Indebtedness in
creased to S2i3,777.9l6, of which
s7,I5s,274 was owed by the Eastern
States, s7s,s4s,o72 by the Middle
States, s7s, ,34O.ol7 by the Southern
States, and s59,9s1,55s by the West
ern States. This money was mainly
borrowed from English capitalists,
who had formed high opinion Of
our National resources and honor
from the promptness with which our
foreign commercial debt had been
paid. When the hard times in Eng
land came and the United States
Bank of Pennsylvania suspended,
and the panic struck the country,
foreign bondholde1s found that their
money had virtually gone into hole,
