The last oOnsus gives some startling
facts with reference to the number IA
increase OF deaf nrvtos. the bind, the
idiotic and the insane ia the Dated States.
Eighty thousand physicians assisted in
the collection of these statistics, and they
may therefore be regarded as approx
mateIy correct, The total number of'un-
tOrtunates embraced in these four classes
in 1850 was 1884; in 1860 they had in
creased to IS, 45i; In 1870 to 9S, 4s4, and in
1880 to 9j1. 69S, the increase during the last
decade being $50 per cent. During the
last thirty years, while the number OF
IDIOTS. insane, blind and deaf mutes had
increased five-fOld, the population had
only doubled, The census report shows

Speaking OF the floods, the Memphis
AcdIdRche remarks: with the continual
annual increase in the area OF cultivated
land in the Mississippi valley the higher
will rise the food line in the Mississippi
river and its tributaries. BY and by 1t
will occur to the resident Of the river bot
toms that he must prepare 10 meet these
floods by placing all his movable property
ON an artificial elevation above the reach
of high water. Then the enrichment of
his lands by the flood waters will folloy,
without loss. The leVees cannot prOteg1
him against the highest waters.

Pig Iron Kelley's Game


What the high prOtectionists of the
Ways and Means Committee want, as. we
have said over and again, is that,
after vigorous pantomime of passing a
tariff bill, the tariff should remain sub
stantially as it is, with all its favors and
privileges reserved for the beneficiaries
who now enjoy them, and who divide
them with the Republican politicians. 1t
is petty and mistaken policy, but it is
one which will meyer lead to any extreme
measures for passing the bill.

The Cleveland Herald has affected
Sabbatarian piety for a leng time to the
degree of suppressing its edition on the
first day of the week called Sunday. But
it now announces its intention to ''break
Sunday hereafter by publishing an edi-
ton on the day set apart by the Emperor
Constantine A. D. 321 to be observed as a
religious festival by the members of the
churches. The historical allusiOn lets the
Herald down easily, but is hardly calcu-
lated to procure favor for it with the good
people to whom it formerly catered. They
suspect that the ''Christian SABBATH had
an anterior origin TO that assigned it by
the erring Cleveland journal, The true
plea for Sunday newspapers is their
utility. The same plea was advanced by
the Saviour for theTman who took his beast
from the pit on the Lords Day.

Getting their Eyes Open

What the farmers Of IlllnOis--the men

swindling tariff system, may be gathered
from the resolutions adopted by the Farm
ers' Institute at its meeting in Princeton

agriculturists of continent for the benefit
of favored handful of mOnopolists finds
no favor i'm the West, and it is evident

The following resolutions were recently
adopted at meeting Of the knights of
Labor in New York city:
WHEREAS, These philanthrOpic pro-
tectiOnists not only resisted the just de-
mands of their workmen for wages con-
sistent with protected industry in
market where capital was protected from
foreign competition by direct legislation,
but, with infamous meanness, endeavored
to hire and import the 'pauper labor
itself from Europe at panperiZing prices
for the express purpose OF defraudlng
American labor of its fair share in the
mutual protection contemplated by pro-
tective tariff:
''ReSOlUed, That the Central Labor Union
repudiates the effort now being made to
make defrauded American labor mere
political tool for enhancing the profits of
selfish capitalists, who always have ig-
nOred every obligation which organized
labor was not powerful enough to compel
them to fulfill
The resolutions are a trifle verbose, but
explicit enough, for all that.

It's seriously proposed to duplicate the
Suez canal. 1t is three hundred feet wide
on the surface, but the banks slope so
gradually that the channel at the bottom
is only hundred feet wide. The earth
taken out of this ditch was left On the
banks, of course, so that the removal of
one of these banks TO widen the channel
would be more expensive than the open
ing of new. channel parallel. The cost
of this would be considerably less than
that of the first, when terminal docks had
to be constructed and provision depots all
along. The new canal would be used tor
vessels passing in one direction, the old
for those passing in the opposite. The
plan has not been definitely adopted, but
is under discussion, owing to the fact that
the increase of traffic necessitates a com
slant outlay for the extension of sidings
where vessels can pass.
