There is no reason in the nature OF
things, why the chemistry of the future
may not supply us with artificial food,
which may replace some of the various
forms of protoplasm upon which human
beings now subsist. Were such Il thing
possible as the substitution of a chemical
Tor animal and vegetable food, some
very curious results would follow.
IN article in a scientific journal says
that the man of the future will be tooth
less and hairless. AS there will be no
need for teeth in assimilating n nutriment
that would probably be liquid in form,
the human teeth might, from want Of
use, disappear or become rudimentary.
Then fat people would disappear, for
chemistry would control the conditions
which lead to the formation of adipose
tissue. As there wouli be less work for
the human stomach, the abdomen would
diminish in size, while, possibly, the
lungs might be still further enlarged.
But the general digestive apparatus
would he in better shape, as the chemis-
try of food could be adapted to every
variety of system. This all may seem
very wild, but in view of what science
has lone III the world about us. what
may it not accomplish, when its i'm
proved and improving processes are ap-

Prohibition Disoussed.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,; Your
paper Of Wednesday, Sept. s, contained an
able communication, headed as above, but
devoted almost exclusively to discussing
the powers Of majority to alter the coa-
stitution. The letter was signed "Clvlliza-
tion," and the writer protests vehemently
against any such powers Of majority. "a
majority In this country" he says, "cannot
lay Its hand upon any fundamental right OF
the individual" the right involved In the
present controversy being the right to man
ufaoture, to buy, or TO sell Intoxicating
drink. II Is quite true that bare majority
cannot alter the national constitution, but
prohibltionists do not refer to bare majori-
ties.
The writer referred to concludes his ar
gument with the following passage sour
civilization will not permit the government
to extend its jurisdiction TO the control OF
personal conduct and department, where
such conduct and department is not an
invasion OF the security of others.n In re-
ply wewould say that "our civilization"
oriany other civilization, has very little to
do with the present issue. Civilization is a
long word, like Mesopotamia, but 1t has
been so frequently made the refuge for
abuses from which vigorous barbarlsm
would revolt that the enlightenment of our
age refuses TO bow before this Juggernaut
OF the western world.
AS to the influence which civilization
exerts upon the Constitution Of the United
States we would call attention to article
Y OF that constitution, which deals not
with bare majorities but with three-fourths
maiorities, and furnishes fat contradiction
to the statements made in the letter from
which we have quoted: "The Congress,
whenever two thirds OF both houses shall
deem 1t necessary, shall propose amend
ments to this constitution, or, on the appli-
cation OF the legislatures Of two-thirds Of
the several states, shall call convention
for proposing amendments, which, in
either case, shall be valid to all intents and
purposes, as part of this constitution, when
ratified by the legislatures Of three-fourths
OF the several states, or by conventions In
three-fourths thereof, as the one or the
other mode Of ratification may be proposed
by the Congress-
This surely is plain speaking upon the
subject Of majorities, and shows clearly
that the power Of the people which made
the constitution is capable of amending
that constitution, II necessary.
Whatever We may think of the principle
Of prohibition, or Of the expediency OF q
prohibitory amendment to the constitution
the temperance people need not be afraid
Of long words. SPECTATOR.

The bishop Of Ajaccio was on his way
from diocesan meeting at Pledicroce,
when he was stopped about eight miles
from that village by two men, who, pre-
senting at the same time their rifles, or
dered him TO get out OF his carriage. He
obeyed their injunctions and offered to ac-
company them, thinking that one OF them
had carried off some young girl and wanted
him to preform the marriage ceremony.
He was soon undeceived, for their motive
was not 10 extort money from him but 10
extort from him q promise that ho would
remove the curate Of village In the neigh
borhood who had offended them. The
bishop had no alternative but to promise
that he would do so, and the brlgands then
deeamped, leaving him in such a nervous
condition that he has been Ill eyer since.
Owing to the misplaced leniency Of jurymen,
who bring In verdicts accompanied by ex-
tenuating circumstances, there has been q
great increase Of brigandage the last few
years, there being at the present time more
than five hundred brgands In the forests
who succeed in eluding the pursuit OF the
gendarmes and do not scruple to meet them
In open fight.

board for the first time yesterday, and they
were comparatively active and strong.
II Is stated that the Canadian Pacific Rail.

the road from Port Moody TO the terminus
until LEGISLATION shall have been secured for
that purpose.
The coal carrying roads meet in Phlladel.
phia early next week 10 coufer on the quos-
ton of advancing tolls. The position OF the
Pennsylvania railroad Is said by ono Of tho
railroad officers 10 be not yet decided on, aud
II is thought that the road Will Join with the
others in ordering an advance.
The Pacific coast freight agents OF the trans
continental lines on Tuesday announced q re-
duotion Of rates on enst-bound freight OF 80 per
cent, with the minimum 80 cents per 100
pounds to Chicago aud 81. Louis. This action
was taken because of tho fierce opposition OF
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company and the
Canadian Pacific Railway Company The re-
duced rates were guaranteed up to tomorrow.
At the meeting at Chicago OF the western
railroad managers the Wabash agreed that II
would not stand in the way Of formation Of
new pools II the period which percentage
awards had to stand was changed from one
year to six months, which point was conceded.
No decision was arrived at as to whether tho
balances due the old pool should be settled by

THE CAPTIVE APAcuEs.
Serious Discussions rs to tho Dlsposi-
tion to be Made OF Thom.


The disposition TO be made OF Geronimo,
Natchez, and the principal leaders Of the
captured band Of Apaches is causing dis
cusslon at the War Department. 1t is be-
lieved that Gen. Sheridan, Gen. Miles, and
other army officers, who have had large OK
perience In dealing with hostile Indians
favor the execution by hanging Of Geronimo
and Natchez, and the removal from Arizona
to Florida Of the remainder Of the hostile
band. This policy Is favored by the army
not so much as a punishment for the crimes
OF the two chiefs named as for the influence
II would have upon those Indians who are
disposed TO take the warpath every year.
These Indians entertain the belief that the
government is afraid Of them, and TO place
the captives upon reservation and supply
their wants would strengthen this belief
The hanging, therefore, OF Geronimo and
Natchez would destroy this feeling among
their followers and other Indians disposed
to make annual outbreaks, and result in
preventing future depredations by these
arduous labors Of Capt. Lawtons command
In hunting down the murderous Apaches
Will be lost should the authorities fail to
deal summarilywith Geronimo and Natchez.
whom the young bucks revere as
great and successful war chiefs, whose
prowess will be reeited aud sung at all In.
dian dances and councils, aud whose
example will be held up to encourage the
young men TO emulate their deeds OF ra-
pine and murder. The execution Of the
TWO principal chiefs would go FAR toward
suppressing this enthusiasm among the
young bucks, and, by showing them that
hereafter Indians guilty of atrocities will
be promptly hung when captured, would
effectually prevent future Indian wars.
These are the views entertained and advo.
Gated by army officers, and II the disposi-
tion Of Geronimo and Natchez be left with
Gen. Sheridan, both those murderers will
undoubtedly be executed.

"Ben Hur," sl.O5-whltaker's.
He Got Into the Wrong House


He is "connected with the press" ami
consequently goes 'early to bed"-at or
3 o'clock In the morning. His intellectual
station, of course, proves him "wise;"
'wealthyn may follow or not: perhaps not.
Yet he is 'healthy." Moderation In food
is probably the cause: necessity OF BRAIN
work. Weary and worn out yesterday he
started homeward at his usual matutinal
hour, and arriving at the peaceful abode
which enshrines his wife and child applied
to the door the faithful night key, gaining
ready entrance. 1t was strange the gas
taper did not burn in the, hall; no doubt
the wind had extinguished 1t. So he groped
his way, found the stair, quietly ascended,
stole tip-toe into the sacred chamber.
There, too, the small light was missing.
Strange again. Still more strange; with all
his feeling about, he could find no
bed, no bureau, no table, no chair.
The apartment was totally vacant.
Bewildered, he hesitated, then re-
treated from the desolate room, full of
desperate thoughts-down the dark steps,
through the long hall, and so out to the
singular case9 Notify the policep He re-
mained puzzled; he must have assistance
from some quarter. Now by the neighbor-
ing street lamp he noticed for the fret
tine card on the side OF the door he had
Just left; "Unfurnished Rooms for Rent"
A new idea. He walked on a short dis
tance, while fear and trembling accom-
panied him, as he heard window open
and woman voice thereat sbrilly exclaim:
"There he goes now, the villainn But
no pistol report followed, and "the vii
lainn applied his key TO another door in
the row, admitted himself into q lighted
hall, and a moment later was In the repose-
full presence of the wife of his bosom.

Hopeful.
New YoRK, Sept. 9.-The yacht race
again drew large proportion Of the oper-
ators on the street away, and as conse-
quence to.day's market was dull and al
most featureless, the trading being confined
to some ten or q dozen stocks which fur
nished over three quarters Of the total busi-
ness. The news received to-day was gem
orally Of favorable character, the advioes
from the meeting at Chicago showing a
reasonable amount OF harmony, and the
street is In hopeful frame OF mind as 10
the outcome. The most important item OF
the day was the advance In the price OF
silver. There was In the morning heavy
buying OF Kansas and Texas and the Wa
bashes for London account, and the price
OF these securities advanced materially.
Pacific Mail later broke about per cent,
which was due to the unsettled condition OF
transcontlnental affairs coupled with the
reports OF cutting Of west-bound rates on
the Pacific coast.
With few exceptions prices luctuated
within very narrow range, and continued
steady throughout the entire day, but
sagged a little In the last hour, and the
market closed barely steady close to open
ing figures.
Money on call is easy, ranging from 4
to 9, last loan at 4, and closing at 4 asked.
