DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
Harper's Weekly greatly regrets the
fact-if it is a fact-that the president
has contributed 1000 to the demo
cratic campaign fund. The Louisville
COurier-Jcurnal falls to detect ''aDy
cause for regret, or anything ineOnsist-
emit with a genuine reform OF civil SER
vice. Political expenses must be met
in some way. They cannot be paid by
q congressional appropriation. The
assessment plan, fortunately, has been
abandoned. The voluntary contribu-
ton plan seems to meet the case exact
ly, and the action of the president Is
eminently at. No other president ever
did it, perhaps, but other presidents
authorized party strikers to enter pub
lie Offices and assess all ONCE holders q
regular per cent OF their salaries. This
course became public scandal, and, If
for no other reason, President CleYe-
land deserves reelection because he
put stop to it.
Democrats may preach civil service
twaddle, but this is the manner in
which it is practiced:

senator was possessed by the conceit
that his partisan discussions we're fair

self.
After some further remarks on each
side Hoar exclaimed very angrily:
Mr.. President-This style of be
havior on the part of the senator from
Ohio had etter be stopped. Further
on Hoar again broke out: Mr.. PreSi-
dent, the senator from Ohio is disOr-
DERBY and insolent in his style Of inter-

let him rise in his place in an orderly
way and ask me to yield to him.

Limits of Human Senses.

The limited nature of the human senses,

emphasized by the progress of science since
Isaac Taylor reasoned from it in his "Physi-

ago. Improvement in spectroscopy and pho
Biography show that invisible rays extend as
far beyond the violet end of the spectrum as
the length of the spectrum itself, and indeed
must continue until the vibrations become
infinitely rapid and infinitely small" Some
of these ultra rays can be made visible by in

Professor Stokes, the physicist, found that

it is conceivable that this instrument, in con-

could disclose the supernal; but it is certain
that there is very much visible that we don't

The Shooting of Gen. Nelson.

learned that his ''sailor dragoon, Gen. Nell
son, had been shot by Gen. Davis in hotel
at Louisville. Gen. Nelson was over six feet
in height, weighed over 80 pounds, and was
notoriousy strong, while Gen. Davis was a
quiet little gentleman, who never troubled
any one.
Senator Morton, with Gems. Nelson and
Davis, were conversing together, when Mel
son became excited and deliberately slapped
Davis in the right cheek Davis and Morton
stepped back, and Morton gave Davis pis-

was leaning against the bar, leveled the pistol
