DIR. DOMINGO FRIERE, the distin-
guished Brazilian physician, has been
heard from again. He says he has in
noculated 173 persons, including him
self, as a preventive Of yellow fever,
and that all the cases have been sue
cessful. The government has issued
a decree authorizing him to practice
vaccination. 1t would be well for a
commission to be sent from this coun-
try to Brazil to examine into and re-
port on the practice of Or. Friere.

SENATOR BECK, of Kentucky,
thinks the Morrison bill fairly ex-
presses the Democratic idea of tariff
reform, and as basis Of committee
action it is doubtless as fair a state
ment of the theory of reduction as
could lie presented. He says: Il be-
lieve in the Democratic party taking a
position on this subject, not simply in
platforms, but by the passage of bill
essentially Democratic in its princi-
pies. The Morrison bill may be mod
lied by changes in the body of the bill
or in Increasing the free list. l should
do 50. Its course in the House will
be watched with great interest, espe-
cially in noting the actions of
parties prominent in party politics
for or against the measure.
1t may change the relations of men to
parties. ] say this without reference
to individuals, for l think some Re
publicanS will he found missing on
the Republican list when the roll is
called on tariff reduction. l know
that there has been a very general
movement IN the direction of reduc-
ton of duties since the pressure of the
principal and interest of the fixed in
debtedness and floating obligations of
the government have been removed,
and that was proper. In the tariff act
OF 1872 the House made a movement
to reduce the rate of customs duty,
but, under the cry of providing for
the sinking fund, they got it back
again. This time there is not
that plea, as the national debt
is in good shape and the govern
ment is really embarrassed by p.eth-
ora of revenue. The action of the
Senate on the bill will depend largely
on the KIND Of bill the House sends
up. [ have no right to say What other
senators may do, and do not wish to
be understood in that way; but 1 can
imagine such senators as Ingalls,,
Plumb and Van Wyck, and perhaps
Sabin, Of Minnesota. voting for the
reduction Of the customs duties to a
lower point than that reached in the
act of 1888. We might lose McPher-
son, Of New Jersey. but even then !
| think any bill, reasonable in its provi-
sions, would secure a majority in the
Senate. L think that the prospects OF
tariff reform legislation, if the leaders
are moderate in their demands, are
extremely fattering.

The absence of present success

The absence of present success
among the New England mills pro-
duces additional interest in mills of
the South. One of the largest mills
in the South, and perhaps in the coun-
try, is the Eagle and Phoenix. of Co.
lumbus. While the Ma -sachuseets
mills are reducing wages and resortiDg
to trimming Experiences to make
ends meet, the Eagle and Phoenix has
just declared dividend Of per cent
on an invested capital of S1,25OOOO.
The mill had extraordinary expenses
during the year, purchasing additional
river property, making new dams. re-
building fumes and losses by reduced
business. Notwithstanding all this,
its net earnings for distribution
to stockholders was $4,000.
Since 1867, when the mill company
was reorganized, it has paid S1,37O,OOO
cash dividends, and has built out of
its earrings, besides the mill, improve
ments costing 100000. 1t has a large
surplus on hand, making total earnings
| for stockholders in sixteen wears of
about 100000. 1t is now proposed
to build an additional mill at a cost of
81 100000. The success of this mill is
but history of several others in the
South. One feature OF the Southern
milling business is that strikes are I'M
heard Of. Operatives in Augusta and
! Columbus are contented with their
lot, investing in small homes, educat-
ing their children, and altogether,
are well pleased. Columbus is
not more fayorably located for
milling purposes than is Austin.
Here there is unbounded water power
and unlimited cotton and wool pro-
d1ction, and vast region demanding
supplies. Who will start the first mill
at Austin? The establishment of ono
will be followed by others; and the
operation of mills will create employ,
ment for vast number of people
causing general increased prosperity
in our city's commercial interests.

in advance, he did not run away, but
boldly appeared according to appoint

most eloquent manner, and by his

A Boston preacher has ordered 100
pairs of scales from leading manu-

careful how he casts reflections on the
honesty of the business men of the
Hub, or he may be classed with Gov.
Butler as one who has committed an
objectionable sin.

Whenever | have seen u mink in my

August Popular Science Monthlv."I have
been impressed with the fact that all ami

lookout for him, and try as sedulouslv to
avoid him as they do any of their natural
enemies. If they do SO, is it at all strange
that We so seldom see them when we 20

have more than once tested this in the case
OF the mink. Mooring my boat near where
had reason to believe these animals had
their nests, and remaining perfectly quiet
and in hiding, | have usually been reward
ed by seeing the minks moving about as
soon as their confidence was restored by
the absence of all signs of life in OF about
the boat. They would come out of their
burrows, or from under large roots, and
dive into the water, or it might be that they
carried a mussel from the shore to their re-
treat. Any act of this kind free from the
restraint of fear, is in the case of all ami
mails the most interesting and instructive,
and, were our opportunities Of this kind
more frequent, our knowledge of animal
life would soon be largely increased.

The Military in German,..

Germany has gone TO extraordinary ex-
pense since 1871 in order to consolidate her
military supremacy. In Alsace Lorraine
alone they have expended $50, 100000 to
make their possession uuassailable. The
fortified camp of Strasberg- Kehl is simply
impregnable. 1t contains immense stores
of provisions Of every kind; others are
packed in trains waiting, as ii were, under
steam, and require but telegraphic order
TO be dispatched in any direction. Anxious
to strengthen their position on the sea they
have spent $95000,O00 TO defend their long
coast line. As regards inland places they
have swalled $40,000,000 Metz, Thionvilie
and Saarlouis form together the so-called
Lorraine triangle, toward which all the
forces can be directed in an incredibly
short space of time. Ten lines of railway
end at the Rhine; eight lines connect the
Rhine with the fortified parts of Lorraine
and seven lines reach the Russian frontier
Thus, to east or west, Germany is able to
mass at q moments notice enormous bodies
of men at any given point, and with equally
enormous quantities of supplies and am
munition Militarism is indeed an incubus
on the German people, and there are many
signs that its oppressiveness is felt,

OUR CURRENCY.

The people Of the United States, though often
urged and tempted, have never seriously
contemplated the recognition Of any other
money than gold and silver, and cur
rency directly convertible into them.
They have not done so, and they will
not do so under any necessity less
pressing than that of desperate war The
special requisite for the completion of our mon
etary system is the fixing of the relative values
of silver and gold. The large use of silver as
the money of account among Asfatic nations.
taken in connection with the increasing com
meree Of the world, gives the weightiest rea-
sons for international agreement in the prem.
ises. Our Government should not cease to urge
this measure until common standard of value
shall be reached and established-a standard
that shall enable the United States to use the
silver from its mines as an auxiliary to gold in
settling the balances Of commercial exchange.
