fugh addressed the Senate in speech on
the tariff. He asserted that in framing &
tariff Jaw during the war there had been no
necessity, intention or desire to prohibit or
diminish foreign importations, but on the
contrary more importat,ons and more reve-
nue.. The revenue was the paramount OBJ
ject Of federal taxation during the war. The
difference was plain, fundamental, irrecon
cable- The democratic system of protec-
ton TO home industry was the true American
system, that tariff duties should be levied not
for revenue oa!y but for incidestal protcc-
ton by discrimination between imports and
by adjustments and application. Deviaging
from the'line of tariff discussion Pugh ad-
verted to the question of race supremacy in
the south. He said there could be 40 con-
cession nor compromise among the white
people. Whoever was friend of the whiie
race in regard to supremacy in government
was his friend irrespective of politics.
Whoever was the enemy of the white race
on questions involving race supremacy was
his enemy.

GERMAN IN PUEBLO SCHOOLS.

GERMAN I'm PUBLIC SCHOOLS
A "committee of eight" has recommended
to the New York board of education that the
study of the German language be hereafter
omitted frem the public schools, and it is ex-
pected that the recommendation will be
adopted. The New York Evening Post thus
comments upon the matter: The arguments
of those persons who would retain the teach
ing of German are abstraetly true as to the
value of the German language and as to the
good effect of its study on the mind. But
the concrete fact is that not enough German
can be learned in tho schools to be Of either
practical or theoretical advantage to any
child. In some of the western cities Ger
man was introduced into the schools simply
and sslely to break up the German schools
and to allure the children attending them In
to the public schools. It was not introduced
because the superintendents or the members
Of the boards really approved of II as an ed
ucational measure, bat merely as a means
for special end. The city of st. Louis,
which certainly has larger proportion Of
German citizens than Now York, after more
than twenty years of experiment has lately
abolished the study in her public schools.
and it will be well for this city to profit by
that example. It is only necessary to realize
how much German can be acquired by a
child in sixty-six hours during the school
year in order to perceive that the whole
thing Is ridiculous from the common. sense
point Of view.

other senses as different from ours as sound
Is from sight; and even within the bounda-
ries of our own senses there may be endless
sounds which we cannot hear, and colors as
different as red from green of which we have
no conception. These and q thousand other
questions remain for solution. The familiar
world which surrounds US may be totally
different place to other animals. To them it
may be full of music which We cannot hear,
of color which we cannot sec, of sensations
which we cannot conceive"
Says the New York Sun: There is move
ment on foot among the officers of the army
for raising the pay Of certain Glasses of en-
listed men. They hope thereby to decrease
the number of desertions. soldier said
yesterday that Colonel Langdon had prepared
bill by which corporals and orderly SER
geants should receive $50, $40 and $50
month respectively. They now receive $40,
$36, and $50 after they have been in the ser-
vice ten years. They start in at from $15 to
$84. There is remarkable difference be-
tween the pay Of enlisted men and petty Off
GERS in the army and those of like rank in
the navy. An able sesman getssoyer 500 to
start with. There are dozen or more petty
ranks on every ship, such as carpenters
mate, boatswain's mate, etc., where the pay
is over $50, while there are several grades,
such as master-at-arms, where the pay is
$61.50. On top of these are the warrant Off
ces to which enlisted men attain, such as
boatswain, gunner and sailmaker, whore the
pay is 81, 400 year for the first year and
81, 800 after twelve years. service. The army
officers say that if enlisted men could hope
to be promoted to Offices worth no more than
$40 to $50 much better class of men would
enlist. The present hope of obtaining a
lieutenant's commission is too remote to
very greatly improve the character of the
ranks.

ssnUM,, AND VITALITY.


The report of a committee OF the British
Medical association concerning longevity and
the use of alcohol is exciting good deal of
discussion. The Investigations of the COM
mittee were directed especially to three
classes: Those who do not take alcoholic
beverages, those who use them in moderation
and that class which uses them to excess.
The committee examined in all 1884 cases
of deceased persons, and ascertained the aver
age duration of the life of each one Of the
various grades. The total abstainers at
tained the average age of ffty-ene years and
twenty-five days. The average life Of those
termed habitually temperate drinkers was
found to be sixty-three years and thirteen
days. Careless drinkers, people who drank,
not for the purpose Of getting drunk, bat
simply as it happened, lived to be fifty-nine
years and sixty-seven days. Free drinkers,
those who drink habitually, reached the age
of 6fty-seven years and 6fty-nine days.
Decidedly Incorporate drinkers quit drinking
at the average of 6fty-three years and thir-
teen days.
All this may be very scientific, but 1t is
not In accordance with what is generally
known as common sense. To be drunkard
is not the best way to live to agood old age.

euliar sadness steals over the mind OF the
thoughtful tourist. Here guests were enter

the secret corridor of the monarehs who

where sixteen hundred could bathe at once,
or elsewhere, the spot where gladiators
fought each other or wild beastA to amuse
the eighty-four thousand seated Spectators,
with twenty Thousand more standing within
the same structure.
Here are grooves made in the palace pave
ments by the chariot wheels of the naughty
and wealthy patricians as they gashered
from time to time. A pagan altar where
sacrifices were offered over two thousand
years ago, with shallow trenches out in the
stone border to hold the blood of the dying
animal. Traces of the finest frescoes, cost
lest mosaics and polished marbles, granite,
porphyry and other stones are visible. Huge
columns which could not be moved, even by
modern appliances, except with great Diff

To the Editor of the JOURNAL ANB COURIER:
There are great many citizens of Connec-
ticut who are puzzled to know what conclu-
sion to come to with regard to the proposed
prohibitory amendment, en- account of the
difference of opinion among good men re-
garding the question of High License versus
Prohibition. Such men are in tho habit of
giving the cause of right and reform the
benefit Of the doubt in such cases, or of let
ting the inspired word of God settle the
question; and many are about to vote for the
amendment on the strength of the twenty
third verse of the 9th chapter of Isaih, which
reads as follows: "Woe unto them which
justify the wicked for a reward" under
standing this to apply to the liquor license
because of the context. Will the Rev. Mr..
Smyth please explain this passage as public-
ly as he has his opinion of the Maine prohi.
bitory law, and obliGe the undersigned and
