AS noticed IN the TRJRTNE aonoa dav,

AS noticed IN the TRIBUNE some days
ago, the question of what the state tax
levy may be is a hard nut for the equal
izing board. Unless the territorial law
of a levy of three mills stands there is
absolutely no means Of raising revenue
for the coming year. A long discussion
of the matter was had yesterday by the
board and action deferred for the time.

"Dr. Andrew D. White will take up The
Fall OF Man" in the next of hiswarfare of
science papers, in the September Popu-
lar Science Monthly. The belief that
man was a perfect being when he first
appeared upon the earth, and that there
was no sorrow, toll, mol death in the
world till brought on by his misconduct,
is found in both classical and Hebrew
mythology. DR.. White shows how scien-
tifc evidence has gradually rolled up till
it's weight forces the irresistible conclu-
sion that man has had no fall from a high
estate, but that, from low beginnings in
the distant past he has been continuous
,ly rising. This is one of the strongest
papers in the series.

Hypnotism-mesmerism - by which,
ever name you choose to call it's a SUBJ
ject of special interest to everybody at
present, and everyone would be pleased
to have ocular demonstration of some Of
the wonderful phenomena produced by
this weird art or science. Opportuni-
ties, however, are few; but those curious
to know the modus operandi may do SO
from reading the description of "a Hyp-
motto Seance," illustrated with pictures
taken from life, published in Demo-
rests Family Magazine for September.
It is by thus giving special attention to
timely topics, keeping 'in touch" with
the sentiments and new ideas of the day,
that this ideal magazine has achieved its
well.deserved popularity.

form on library shelves, above all other

illustrated paper this month, "Historic

lating to stormy scenes in the most excit-

sketch which is an exceedingly important

LincOln'S Habits.

Tho President rose early, as his
sleep was light and capriciOus. In
the summer, when he lived at the Sol
diers' Home, he would take his frugal
breakfast and ride into town in time
to be at his desk at o'clock. He
began to receive visits nominally at
10 o'clock, but long before that hour
struck the doors were besipged by
anxious crowds, through whom the
people of Importance, senators and
members of Congress, elbOwed their
way after the fashion which still sur
wives. On days when the Cabinet
met, Tuesdays and Fridays, the hour
of noon closed the interview of the
morning. On other days it was the
Presidents custom, at about that
hour, to order the doors to be opened
and all who were waiting to be adj
mitted. At luncheon time he had lit
orally to run the gauntlet through
the crowds who filled the corridors
between his office and the rooms at
the west end of the house occupied by
the family. The afternoon wore
away in much the same manner as
the morning; late in the day he usu-
ally drove out for an hours airing
1T o'clock he dined. He was one of
the most abstemious of men; the
pleasures of the table had few attrac-
lions for him. His breakfast was an
egg and a cup of coffee; at luncheon
he rarely took more than a biscuit
and a glass of milk, plate of fruit in
its season; at dinner he ate sparingly
OF one or two courses. He drank lit
tie or no wine; not that he remained
always on principle a total abstainer,
as he was a part OF his early life in
the tervor of the Washingtonian"
reform; but he never cared for wine
or liquors of any sort, and never used
tobacco.-Col. John Hay in Novem,
Der Century.

The Tin Plate Industry.

There will be tin plate industries in
America whether the Democrats want
them or not. AtSpringfield, Illinois,
within the past week, the Secretary
of State licensed the Chicago Tin
Plate Company to manufacture tin
plates, sheet steel, sheet iron, steel
ingOts, steel bars and terne plates /;
capital stock $25O,OO0; incorpora-
tors, Richard J. Ress, George c..
Manchester and S. W. Snow. The
Democratic campaign story that
there is no tin ore in the Black Hills
is vigorously disputed by James
Haft, of Rapid City, Idaho, an ex-
pert, who has returned from that re-
gion, bringing with him rich speci-
mems.
Here is a specimen" said he,
. that is about 80 per cent. tin. Here
are Others that average 10 per cent,
which is pretty good, when you
know that the tin ores of Cornwall
run about 1 to II per cent. Most of
the tin mines of the Dakotas are near
Harney's Peak. The work of open
ing up the large beds of ore has been
going on for three years, and many
people wonder why no tin has been
mined. The work is slow, in the first
place, taking from two tofour years;
but the main reason why there has
not been an output of ore is that
two big companies want to get con-
troll of all the good claims in sight.
The English capitalists have sent
over experts to make the most care
ful examinations, and have satisfied
themselves that there is plenty of
good mineral The English own
nearly 30 per cent. of the best claims.
A great deal of the development is
due to James Wilson, of New York,
who organized the Harvey Peak
Mining Company. Ittook two years
of prospecting to strike the Gar
ledge, one of the cOmpany's most
valuable properties.
The mining of tin is bound to be-
come a great industry, and when the
mines begin to be worked the tariff
on tin will cut no figure. Tin cups
and tinware are going to be cheaper

COMRADES: Since being elected Comman-
der-in-chitI | have visited ten departments
six of which are west of the Missouri river
and have been more than gratifed to observe
the hearty spirit of comradeship everywhere
prevailing. and the growing pride in and de-
votiOn to our noble order. The thought
seemed to be in every mind and the words on
every lip that the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie should be made to round up one half mil
lion comrades this year The inspiration of
this thought was not mere pride in number
but the advantage of mem bership to individ-
ual character, and the advantage of numbers
III increasing the potency of the order in its
lofty work of fraternity, charity and loyalty
1t is on the ground of individual and public
benefit that it becomes our duty to increase
our membership. There are vet several hun
dred thousand worthy veterans who served
bravely with on land or sea, not yet with
us in this organization. If we do not bring
in fifty Thousand or more of them this year
the fault will be our own. This means an ad-
dition of about ten to every hundred Who
doubts but this can be easily done? What
comrade will fail to do his part? What post
will hold back? Let ali department com
manders at once the leadership and direction
in this work in their respective departments
L have seen enough to know that they will
find cordial and enthusiastic response, both
from individuals and posts This is the best

The United States Senate.

OF the United States Senators who
will retire from office on the fourth of
March, 1891, sixteen are Republicans
and twelve Democrats. The Demo-
Gratis will all be succeeded by men of
the same party, except perhaps SEN
atOr Vance of North Carolina, whose
successor may come from the Farm
ers' Alliance faction. Ten of the six
teen Republicans are pretty sure to
have Republican successors. As to
the six remaining, Senator Spooner
of Wisconsin must give way to a
Democrat; Ingalls, of Kansas must
retire to private life, and Democrats
will fill the seats now occupied by
Evarts of New York and Farwell of
Illinois. The Farmers Alliance has
carried South Dakota, Governor and
legislature, and will elect a United
States Senator in place of Gideon C.
Moody - another Republican loss
The present Senate has Al Republi-
cans and 81 Democrats. Idaho and
Wyoming will add four more to the
Republican strength, which would be
fifty-one after the fourth of March,
were it not for the losses in New York,
Illinois, Kansas, Wisconsin and South
Dakota, reducing the total of Repub-
licans in the Senate to As, or one
more than they had at the beginning
of the Fifty-first Congress-the count
then standing, Republicans, 10; Dep-
oerats, 81 Leaving out New Hanfp-
shire, the Democrats Will, in all prob
ability, have 40 Senators in the new
Congress, and there will be two Sena-
tors chosen by the Farmers Alliance
to supersede Republicans, reducing
the Republican majority to four,
which will be further diminished to
two if the New Hampshire legislature
should turn out Democratic and elect
Senator of that persuasion to sue
coed Mr.. Blair.
