The Worlds OostGest Gems.

The largest perfect diamond in the
world is now the Imperial, that was
exhibited at the Paris Exposition last
year. aud which is valued at one mil
lion of dollars, says The Ladies Home
Journal This is the most valuable
stone IN the world, and is owned by
syndicate. The biggest and best ruby
in existence is owned in London, and
is valued at S50,000. 1t has no paral-
lei, even IN the Crown Jewels, and it is
related that the Duchess of Edinburg
carried it all the way to st. Petersburg
for the Gar to have a look at it. The
largest and most beautiful cat 's.eye in
the world weighs one hundred and
seventy carats, is owned in London
and is insured for 10000 rupees. The
finest private collection of pearls in the
world is owned by Madame Dosne,
sister in-law of M. Theirs. The big
gest emerald in the world weighs g.
$50 carats, and is in the Imperial Jewel
Office, in Vienna, The largest and
costliest cat's-eye in the world is owned
by Mooman, of Ceyon, who dug it
up himself from the mines. He has
been offered as high as 100000 for it,
but declines to part with 1t at that
figure, saying that, if he liked, he could
cut it up into forty small pieces, and
sell each piece for about $4,000, aggre-
eating pretty nearly 100000!

Humbugs. s.

p. 7. Barnum is claimed as the
father of the saying that the American
public love to be humbugged. We
don't believe this of the famous show
man, nor do we believe in the truth Of
the idea EXPRESSED. The American
people do not relish a humbug any
more than the people of any other
country, yet when they once do get
bit, they neither make very vigorous
kick, nor give up trying the same
scheme over again when it comes
along again perhaps in new dress.
Humbugs thrive and wax wealthy in
these free and glorious United States
of America, because large pa of our
population are so gullible or curious or
so afflicted by capidity that they AXE
chances In every plausible scheme
adve tised in the newspapers In hone
OF 'getting something for nothing"
1t is useless to waste space to print
advice, warning the credulous and un-
wary of these perennial schemes
offering so much and yielding so little,
for no matter how many times swim
die may be exposed new crop of
fools is ready to bite and send along
their stamps and money whenever q
new scheme is presented. Strange to
say, in many cases the same people
have been known to send over and over
again, year in and year out, getting
little or nothing in return. 1t is i'm
possible to teach set of people who
will not learn, and it is waste of
argument to expatiate upon the evils
referred to in the hope that it may
benefit few.
There have been innumerable in
stances where an exposition of swim
die in public newspaper actually
caused money to be sent to the swim
dlers exposed !-Aqents Guide.

Bankruptlng the Treasury.

The service pension bill and othe
raids upon treasury meditated by th,
republican leaders in congress will moi
only wipe out the surplus but put the
annual expenditures OF the governmen,
many millions of dollars above the
sum total of the revenues. There il
method in the madness of these "cut.
purses of the realm" What they are
doing Is done with the most deliberate
purpose. They mean to eliminate the
issne of tariff reform as a actor in the
political problem. If they can squauder
the surplus and bankrupt the treasury
they will cry out that the tariff, cannot
be reduced without cutting the revenue
away down below the needs of the
government. The scheme is worthy
OF the desperate aud reckless men who
have devised it.
Neither the existing tariff, nor the
Mckinley bill which it is proposed
shall take its place, is measure inten-
ded primarily to raise revenue. The
object of the present tariff law is to
prevent importations. Hence il neces.
sarilly reduces the revenue, although
1t piles heavy taxes upon the consumer
by enhancing the cost of pretty much
every thing he buys. The Mckinley
bill Is calculated simply and solely to
intensity this policy. Therefore it is
plain that the republican schemers are
overshooting the mark. When they
shall have gotten rid of the surplus
and shut out revenue producing imports
to an extent that will make it impos-
sible for the government to meet its
obligations, the necessity for a reduc-
ton of the tariff to a revenue basis will
become more apparent. When the
treasury shall be empty, prohibitory
taxes will have to give way to revenue
duties. Thus will the tariff restriction
lists be "hoist by their own petard."
Congressman Wilson of West Vir-
gina remarked very wittily the other
day that the Mckinley bill is merely
scheme of the republican politicians to
pay off their debts of the last presid-
entail canvass and to raise money to
carry on the next. There was as much
truth as wit in the remark. But it
wonlJ De quite as true to have said
that the money for the next republican
presidential campaign is, at least in
part, to come out of the treasury sur
plus voted in subsidies TO steamships
and disbursed in similar appropriations
Even the reckless pension largess is in
tended as payment of election ex-
penses. 1t will be only when the
treasury shall be emty that the mass
OF the people will come in for their in
nings But they will get them, never
fear.-Patriot.

The Census.

By August 1st, if all goes well, we
shall know once more how many
people the United States contains at
present. The enumeration commences
June l, or rather June 2, the FIRST day
of the month being Sunday,
So well are the plans arranged that
it is thought the work will be finished
in two weeks in the large cities.
Among the struggling country pop
ulation it will take longer. 1t Is said
to be fact that In some parts of tie
country are persons so ignorant that
they do not know the ages of their
own children. Others will insist on
giving also the names of their children
who are dead.
For census purposes the country ia
divided irto l75 districts, with a sup
ervisor for each. The President ap-
points the supervisors of these districts,
and the supervisors appoint the enum.
orators who do the field work. IL is
expected that all the enumeration will
be ended by July /.
In the list of questions are some that
constitute the new feature in census
taking in metaphysical science. The
enumerated person must tell whether
he is married, single or divorced, which
might be called neither married moi
single. So if we tell the truth, it will
be known just how many legally dis
jointed persons there are in the United
States, the home of divorce.
You must also tell whether you have
any acute or chronic disease, and how
long you have bad it. You must lik,
wise inform the census man whether
you are an IDIOT, weether You a,e de
formed, crippled, crazy, or manned
If you are tramp or pauper that too
must 60 down upon the pitiless pag,
of the euumerator, and you must con
fess if your prisoner, homeless chile

President Harrison's Vetoes Based on Self
ish Grounds.

President Harrison has vetoed two
bills, which is no small portion Of the
number that have been presented for
his approval. If he continues at the
same rate he may yet leat Cleveland's q
record and will certainly rank good
second among all the Presidents in the
matter of vetoes. The character of the
two bills he has vetoed points to the
inference that President Harrison's
vetoes will be rfcted upon people
who can do him the least harm, and
that he will allow liberal expenditures
to be made where they will do the
most good, to himself
The bill which the President vetoed
last week was one authorizing the city
of Ogden, in Utah Territory, to in
crease its debt Utah as a territory is no
factor IN Presidential election, and
as she is liable to be kept outside the
sisterhood of States for years to come
President Harrison, Notwithstanding
his aspirations for denomination, can
deny the request of the city of Ogden
and of the whole Territory of Utah
with ;mpunity.
The bill vetoed on Tuesday was bill
appropriating 100000 to enlarge the
new public building at Dallas, Tex. The
Lone Star State is one which President
Harrison can afford TO ignore anyhow,
because in his aspiration for a second
Presidential term he has no hope of
any hell from that quarter. Besides,
bills for public buildings belong to
class which can be vetoed by a Presi-
dental candidate without much fear of
the veto counting against him, either
at the National nominating Convent
ion or at the polls.
1t is only the Congressman repre-
senting the district, who is punished by
his constituents for the defeat of
public building bill, and the Congress
man has poor chance of getting even
with the President. In the closing
sentence of his veto of the Dallas bill.
Mr. Harrison comes very near saying
that the erection of public buildings is
local issue. He actually says: "The
erection of public buildings is largely
a matter OF local necessity and CON
venience," and, of course, these con.
siderations are not to weigh against
pensions. coast defenses, and subsidies
for steamship companies, the three
things which he says in his message
are of universal necessity. A Repub-
lican President who is Jealous can
didate for second term can afford to
disappoint community in Territory
that does not enjoy the franchise or in
state that is hopelessly Democratic,
especially when by doing so he can the
easily promote legislation granting
subsidies to shipping monopolies in
New York, where the friendship of
monopolies has heretofore done so
much to help the Republican party.

There was a fr,e interchange of
views regarding the time for holding

hers thought it should be held before
the republicans meet TO select their
candidate, aud adopt platform, but
those who wanted a late convention
were in the majority, After the mat
ter had been discussed at length, July
? was agreed upon. The democrats of
