1t has been discovered, since the Chicago
convention, that Senator Sherman never
makes a mistake in his investments, aud
that his wealth increases considerably every
year. Some weeks before the convention
the senator caused TO be sent out the state
ment that he was not able to contribute any
more money to promote his canvass, as he
was much poorer than people generally re-
garded him. Perhaps if he had been more
generous with his money he would have
cen nominated.

Franklin Park, n j., village Oh the
Pennsylvania railroad, has a yellow fever
scare. A New Jersey newspaper says

that the disease is beyond their former
knowledge"

Soon the winter will be coming,
And the icy winds will blow:
And the landscape round about us
VIII be mantled deep in snow.
Then our ears will be frost bitten,
And wen want to shed the gore

Who will neUer shut the door.
Then will thoughts go flying backward
To those days gone-by so sweet;
When the harvest winds went whispering
Through the whisiers of the wheat.

Tariff Agitation in Minnesota.

The political situation in Minnesota is
interesting, to say the least of it, Mime
sofa is an agricultural state, and the farm
ers are in favor of a reform Of the tariff
The majority of them have heretofore been
republicans, but they are by no means GER
tain that they will vote the republican
ticket this year Thousands Of them are
about ready to leave the Republican party
Several newspapers which have always sup
ported that party have come out squarely
for the democratic national ticket, for the
reason that the Democratic party promises
tariff reform.
At the recent republican state convention
the farmers requested the convention to
protest in its platform against high protect
i've tariff, and to demand n judicious re-
duction of the present tariff. This request
was refused. but the convention in one part
of the platform it adopted approved the
tariff declarations of the republican national
platform ard repudiated them in another.
This inconsistency has disguised great
many of those of the farmers who are repub-
leans
The leading republican newspaper of the
state hardly knows what course to pursue
Before the meeting of the Chicago conven-
ton it advocated tariff reform and now it
is trying to show that the Chicago platform
favors reform of the tariff. The task it
has undertaken is too great, and it is earn
ing the contempt of sincere men of all par
ties Minnesota is good missionary field
for the democrats.

The Rogue, Gallery to be Strengthened

The Roguos Gallery 20 be- Strengthened
by a Curious Device.
Criminals throughout the city may be- dis
pleased 10 learn that the officers OF the Cen.
ta'al office are studying up u new system that
promises to aid the bluecoats in detecting and
Identifying thieves of high and low degree
1t Is known rs the anthropometric system,
and has been brought to the attention Of
noted detective of Joliet. The word comes
from two Greek words, and it means having
reference TO the measurement Of human
beings. The police are now compelled to
trust entirely TO the Rogues' Gallery for
means of Identification. The new system is
trtended as an addition to the gallery. At
police Headquarters there are half a dozen
photographs of noted burglar now at
liberty. No two Of these pictures are alike,
and that fact is made the basis of an asser-
jon that it is sometimes impossible to identify
he original Of picture. The new system
Onsists in merely collecting carefully taken
measurement of certain parts of criminals
bodies
In future, when dangerous suspect is ar
rested, a registry will be taken of the width
and length of his head, the length of his left
forearm, the length and breadth of his left
foot, the length Of the little and middle fin
gers OF both fands, the length of his right
ear, size OF his mouth, description of his
nose and eyes, the size of his chest while
standing, the length of his body while seated,
the length Of his legs and entire body, the
size OF his neck, the full stretch Of his arms,
and the breadth Of his back from shoulder to
shoulder. Particular attention will ts paid
to deformities, marks or scars. All the
measurements will be taken with graduated
rules, caliper compasses and one or two
other trustworthy instruments. The record
will be kept in a book, which will contain
printed directions and formula for the eI'
aminer.
The police think it a great innovation
They say these measurements will be found
perfectly trustworthy, as a mans figure and
general profile rarely changes after maturity
The innovation is the property Of NJ Pestil

congress in Rome two years ago. New IorE
