Fight Among Office Hunters.

The Baltimore american has this
to say:
eff the Republicans want to make
any impression at the next election
in this state the two factions in this
city will have to quit their foolish
ness and get together. The present
quarrel may be good exhibition of
personal jealousies, but the thought.
full minded members have no patience
with it. There never was better
opportunity for Republican gains in
Maryland. Never did the outlook
invite more strongly strong contest.
There is promise of success all over
the state. provided the Republicans
are united, harmonious and deter
mined. And yet just at this juno
ture, when unity is most needed, we
have the spectacle of personal fights
in Baltimore. 1t is bad exhibition
of political folly"
This same fight has been going on
for Is years, and it is not confined
to Baltimore City. About the same
condition exists in the counties.

Tug .of-War Contest.

Following is an account from the
Philadelphia Ledger of a tug of-war
contest for the ht.weight cham
pionship of Philadelphia, which took
place az the Athletic Grounds of the
Phila. Lacross Club last Saturday.
Two men from our section were on
the winning team, E. Pusey Pass
more of Rising Sun and G. P. Martin
dale Of Oxford.

Both the preliminary pulls were
close, and caused much excitement.
but the final was the greatest exhibi.
ton of Juggling ever given in Phila
delphia. Swarthmore and Northwest
came together, and after the mark
osciliating from side to side for five
minutes, finally settled only quar-.
ter inch in favor of Swarthmore, not
enough, howe> er, to win, and the
heat was a draw.
Between the halves of the lacrosse
they came together again, and again
the mark shuttled in the clamp at a
minutes. Watson had : of an inch,
but in the last five seconds his feet
slipped, and the pull was again a
dead tie. After the game the teams
once more got into position on the
cleats, both anchors desperate, and
taking in lots of rope, depending on
their teams to pull them down. The
pistol snapped, and both were at it,
but condition, strength and skill
soon told. and in only 40 seconds
Swarthmore had pulled the North.
west team out of the cleats.

The Human Eye.

Science gives us interesting details
about what the human eye has been and
what it may become. The Vendas of
India, which are the most ancient writ
ten documents, attest that at times most
remote, but still recorded in history,
only two colors were known-black and
red. A very long time elapsed before
the eye could perceive the color yellow,
and still longer time before green could
be distinguished; and it is remarkable
that in the most ancient language the
term which designated yellow insensibly
passed to the Specification of green. The
Greeks had, according to the generally
received opinion, the perception of colors
very highly developed, and yet authors
of a more recent date assure us that in
the time of Alexander the Great the
Greek painters knew but four colors,
viz: white, black, red and yellow.
The words to designate blue and violet
were wanting to the Greeks in the most
ancient times of their history, they call
ing these colors gray and black. 1t is
thus the colors in the rainbow were only
distinguished gradually, and the great
Aristotle only knew four of them. 1t is
well known fact that when the colors
of the prism are photographed there re-
mains outside the limit of the blue and
violet in the spectrum distinct impress
sion which our eyes do not recognize as
color. Psychologists tell us that it is
reasonable to suppose that as the color
organ becomes more highly developed,
and even before the human eye becomes
perfect, this outside band will evolve
into color perfectly scernible.-Phila-
delphia Record.

A Tariff Bill That Would Help the
Farmers.

Representative Bland Of Missouri
has introduced such bill into the
House. 1t places on the free list all
imported goods exchanged in foreign
countries for farm products. 1t pro
vides that in all cases where proof
can be shown satisfactorily to the
Secretary of the Interior that any
goods, wares or merchandise import.
ed into the United States have been
purchased abroad by exchanging
farm products for such goods, or
when such goods have been purchas-
ed with the proceeds or avails of
our farm products in foreign coun-
tries, such goods, wares or merchan
disc shall be imported free of duty.
The bill further provides that any
deficiency in the revenue caused by
this act shall be made up by tax
on incomes of $4,000 or upwards. If
the administration earnestly desired
to assist the farmers it would pass
such bill, but it will be spurned
and never come out OF the committee
room.

ample, however, and the complaints of
slow collections though little more
frequent than of late, are comparatively
rare.
The accounts of trade are almost uni
formly satisfactory. A slight falling off
in some lines is seen at st.
Louis and rain is badly need
tributary to Milwaukee but for the mid
summer season, the state of business is
better than usual Exchanges through all
clearing houses outside of New York show
gain over last year of IL per cent. Bos-
ton gains little but reports improving de-
mand from leading articles of trade, wool
selling more freely and leather active.
Philadelphia observes some decrease in the
drug business, no change in wool. quiet in
chemicals and tobacco, but improved in
iron At New Orleans, Savannah and
Memphis business is satisfactory for the
season and crop prospects excel
lent AT Detroit, St. Louis and
Kansas City and also Omaha,
business is good and jobbers report ia
vorable outlook at st. Paul. The daily
output of Minneapolis flour mills is $4,000
barrels, and the demand for lumber is
strong, but in parts of the west there is
much apprehension and already some de-
preston in business because of injury to
crops by drought and extreme heat.
The iron business appears more conf
dent, though no change can be observed In
prices. The wool manufacture changes
but little. At Philadelphia and here no
improvement is seen, and western prices
are held too high for manufacturers. The
boot and shoe business shows no weakness
and large number of buyers at
Boston are operating freely at
the recent advance in prices,
both leather and hides being firm and
higher in price. Fears of injury to wheat
and corn are caused by very numerous re-
ports from the central western states,
though estimates Of yield of 100000
bushels of wheat in the Dakotas and Min
nesota appear well supported by detailed
railway reports The conflicting local ac-
counts and estimates helped speculation
to sharp advance ia wheat and corn, but
in both reaction has since appeared and
wheat closes 81 cents lower than a week
ago, corn about 3 cents higher and oats
unchanged.
Heavy western packing cause some weak
ness in pork products, and the fine crop from
the south helps to lower cotton shade.
Oil is little lower and coffee and raw
sugar unchanged. In general the specu
lative markets show the influence of antici-
pated currency expansion but the reaction
would be natural If the outgo of gold at

silver at the rate of 4, 500, 900 ounces in a

tary outlook will, therefore, be narrowly
on account of its possible infu-
ence upon the course of prices.

REDUCTION ORDERED.
The Kansas-Nebraska Food Product Rates
Go Down

WASHINGTON, August 1.-The interstate
commerce commission has issued and will
send out tomorrow its order to take effect
September ], 1890. for the reduction of
rates on food products based on its reports
to the senate June {, 1890. The order is
accompanied by copy of that report also
the opinion of the commission overruling
the protest and motions of the roads to
dismiss for want of jurisdiction. The
opinion reviews the powers and duties of
the commission in the matter of beginning
and conducting investigations and the
commission holds its proceedings legally
sufficient and the reduction necessary to
make the rates reasOnble.
The reduction made applies only to
corn, oats, wheat and -four carried from
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska to
Chicago, st. Louis and Mississippi river
The reduced rates are from MISSOURI river
TO Chicago on corn and oates Il cents and
wheat and -four - cent per 100 pounds
from Kansas and Nebraska points corn 1S
to25, wheat 81 to q cents Reductions ex-
tend 200 miles in Nebraska and 25O in Kan
sas, from the Missouri river Where rates
are fractional, the roads may charge even
cents which considerably modifies the re
ductlonS. No reductions are required
which will leave the roads less than g.,
mills per ton per mile for hauls not longer
than 800 miles nor less than & mills for any
distance
As TO rates east Of the Mississippi. the
commission says: The rates from Chicago
and St Louis and the Mississippi river
now charged on corn, cats, wheat and
flour to the eastern states are not found to
be excessive. The charges on other food
products between the Mississippi and the
seaboard are involved in pending com
plants heard on petition and answer. and
therefore no order as to these rates and
charges will be now issued -

Care Of the Children. Teeth.

Take care Of your children's teeth It is
better 70 send the youngsters to dentist
than TO buy them new frecks. Indeed a
child's teeth should be confded to the care
of dentist while they are making their
appearance. II the dentist is properly
versed in his profession he makes a record
of the child's physical tendencies as well
as the state of its dentition, and to these
notes he adds from time to time such
variations as are significant. Then he
sends for the child cnce month or once
a year, according to its needs. and is thus
able to develop the best teeth that are pos
sible to the little ones constitution or
