1t is not claimed by students Of tariff history
that the debate which closed yesterday was
the very finest in every sense that has ever
been held in the.United States. So far as the
presentation of the general principles of politi-
cal economy are concerned and in the respects
OF stately elequence and severe analysis some
Of the discussions. notably those in which Clay
Webster and Calhoun participated, and one or
two since the war, have exceeded that just
concluded But the last debate has perhaps
been more business-like than its predecessors
There has been all through in the Senate de-
bate minute consideration of practical points,
even in the midst Of set speeches. These
have been interpreted with keen colloques
exceedingly interesting and instructive. In
the House this year, with the exception of one
or two strong speeches on each side. the dis
cussion was not noteworthy. That body suf-
fered in the absence from the floor or the
House Of q number Of its most admirable
speakers and best-equipped thinkers, including
Messrs. Carlisle and Reed. In the Senate some
of tho speeches reached high-water mark.
Respecting the measure adopted, its promise
and potency" its real value or injury to the
public cannot now be appraised. Nothing is
more uncertain than the effect Of q tariff rate
until it has been tried at least one year.
Idaho holds her first state election today.
AL the state officer, the legislature and q
member Of the House Of Representatives for
both the present and the succeeding Congress
will be chosen. The democrats carried the
election for delegate to Congress in 1884 by a
majority Of 704, but in 1886 the republican
candidate was elected by majority of 426 and
again in 1888 by an increased majority of
1,7d in total vote of 1885. Tho vote of
Idaho has steadily enlarged during these eight
years, and it Is expected will show for this
year an equal il not greater rate of increase.

test 10 over the legislature, which will elect

1t is certainly very odd says The Nation)
that the popular faith in blood" should, for
political and social purposes, be as strong rs
it is, in view OF the extreme rarity with
which parents transmit either great mental
or moral qualities to their offspring. Able
sons Of able fathers are by no means un-
known phenomena, but they are too scarce
to warrant tue respect with which all chill
dren Of remarkable parents are still treated.
The explanation of the anomaly probably Is
that the popular mind is still so much affect
e1 by the transmission Of physical qualities
that it infers from it the traisfuissipn OF the
nobler ones also. The hereditary transmits
sion Of physical qualities is as common
among men as among the animals. Tha
large men and the strong men are apt &c
nave large and strong sons, and may have
sons with as much brains, or tenacity. or in
dustry, or integrity; but the popular pre-
sumption is apt TO convert the may into
