ANOTHER NVnRI.n-


Schiaparelli, the famous astronomer has do
voted seven years, with powerful telescope,
to the study Of one Of our nearest celestial
neghbors-Mercury. He is about one-twen-
tieth as big as we are, and so noar that if we
had telephone communication it would take
the voice of an inhabitant OF Earth about FIVE
minutes to reach a man on Mercury. The little
planet is undoubtedly inhabited, but SO far
there Is not the slightest Indication Of the
character of the Mercural citizens The
quecrest thing is that the planet does not re-
yolye on his axis like other stars, but constantly
presents the same side to the sun, so that on
one strip of his surface ii is blazing MONDAY all
the time, on others it is perpetual morning,
evening or twilight, while eternal night reigns
over more than one-third the space As his
distance from the sun varies from 2S, 000. 900 to
100000 miles, the thermometers there must
have to be as long as a fence-TaiI. When the
people there want to got in the shade or go to
sleep, they have to travel around to tho dark
side of their world, which is no small job, unless
they have seven-league boots, since small as it
is, the planet has yet girth of about 5000
miles. After all. while We may have found a
good deal Of fault with this world, the more we
study others the better we are satisfied with
our own, and We propose to stay here as long as
possible.

A NEW MEDICINE,

We have been thinking for quito awhile that
ID was time for new cure-all to be sprung upon
the world, and it has come. Its progenitor-of
course he calls himself its " dscoverer lis a
certain Count Mattel, of the famous old city of
Bologna. He calls it an cicero homeopathic
SYSTEM" and from the descriptions given in
the European press by his enthusiastic adj
mirers, it seems to be an odd melange of homeo-
pathy, electropathy, faith cure. and the old
fashioned "Thompsonian botanic fad. The
Count claims that the basis of his medicines are
certain mysterious plants which he gathers

NO MORE LOTTERY ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE welcomes the
passage of the law prohibiting the trans
mission through the mails of papers con-
tanning lottery advertisements, and punish
ing any use of the mails to send money TO
lottery companies This at once settles n
question which has been very embarrassing
to many reputable papers-THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE among them. They have always
been strongly disinclined TO accept lottery
advertisements, but these have been
shrewdly combined with other advcrtis-
ing business, which had to he accepted
entire or rejected altogether. Advertising
agents strongly objected to making fish OF
one kind of business and flesh of another,
and absurd Pharisaism was charged when
advertisements were declined which other
leading papers accepted. Now that the
business has properly been placed under the
ban of the law the matter has been definitely
disposed Of
In all conversations with Representatives.
and Senators the Editor of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE has supported the passage of the
law which has been enacted. We have con-
stantly said that we believed all lotteries to
be bad, and should be prohibited.
This is one of the instances, however, in
which the adverse sentiment is of compare
lively recent development. Up tiff within
late years lotteries of all kinds have been re-
garded very favorably by the great mass OF
the community. In the beginning of this
century they were employed by the State and
local Governments, as they are now by many
European Governments for all manner of
public purposes-building roads, bridges,
waterworks, etc, payment Of the public
debt, etc. Quite young people remember
when lotteries were fayorite methods in
raising money for church purposes, and n
church fair without one or more grand
lotteries would have been an unusual de-
parture.
Within the last decade the sentiment of
opposition TO al lotteries has grown very
rapidly, and the result is the law which has
just been passed and which will efeetually
stop the whole business.

To NO man in Congress are the veterans
more indebted than to Hon. J. G. Cannon,
Of Illinois. One Of the very ablest men in
the House, and one whose natural aptitude
and ability for public business has been
strengthened by many years of service as a
Representative, he has constantly found and
improved opportunities for helping veterans
individually and collectively. One very sub
stantial service which he rendered them has
not been fully understood and appreciated.
Ever since the war the rule has been that after
a veteran had succeeded probably after
years of effOrt-in establishing his claim for
bounty, back pay, or some similar indebted
ness from the Government, the same would
be certified by the proper accounting officers,
when it would be included In a General
Deficiency Bill, and the claimant would often
have to wait year or more until Congress
passed the bill appropriating the money. Mr..
Cannon succeeded in putting through bill
by which the money to meet these just claims
was appropriated in advance, so that now
the veteran does not have 10 wait but short
time after the final adjudication of his claim
for the issuance of the warrant for payment.
This is specimen of his good work, which
is always done quietly but thoroughly and
effectively. He is not as snowy and orator.
cal as some other members, but is one of the
halfdozen real leaders of the House, and he
holds that position by his close attention TO
| public business, his intimate acquaintance
with every detail of legislation, and his
natural qualities of leadership.

THE Chilkat Indians, Of Alaska seem to
have gotten the blood money tariff down to an
unusually fine point. One hundred blankets is
tho regulation payment by tho murderer to the
relatives of his victim. If he does not plank
down promptly and to the last blanket, they go
for his scalp. The next day after a drunken
brawl Chilkat chief woke up to find ono Of
his ears chewcd off. 1t was decided that this
iudignity required to be expiated by the lives
of two and half men. Three of those i'm
plicated were caught and executed. Instead
of only halfkiling the third man. the chief
killed him for good. and then balanced the &C
count by giving his kinsmen 80 blankets
Then things moved on with their accustomed
harmony.

THE TINaScIAh SITUATION.

Fears of a-Panic have, well-pigh subsidized,
and things will 20 now on smoothly in the
financial world until there is another drain
on the accumulated cash in New York next
September for the purpose of moving the
crops. 1t is now generally admitted by the
ablest thinkers that the recent stripgency
was largely a thing of plot and plan. New
York bankers will not say it publicly for
fear of mourning the ill-will of those power
full institutions, but they will freely point
out in private conversation large moneyed
institutions which went into combination
to lock up money ut the period of its becom-
ing more in demand so as to increase rates
to borrowers, and above all, to force the Gov
eminent to pay an exorbitant price for its
bonds. This was conclusively demonstrated
when, after Secretary WINDOWS meeting
with the presidents of the New York banks
he refused to pay 130-a premium equal to
seven and half years intcrest-for four-per
cent. bonds, the price of those securities de-
clined rapidly.
Senator Sherman stated positively on the
floor of the Senate his belief that the

tenn" are mainly among the ari5tOcrats Of
Europe, and they are enthusiastic over it. Ono
of these, who is spoken Of as "Her Excel
lercy, Lady Paget," writes that few
drops of the aqua dele Pelle" poured on
fine towel and passed over the face after
washing will keep the skin smooth and free
from wrinkles forever. From a worldly point
OF view, the Count appears to be a shrewd old
charlatan, who has struck a fine scheme for
filing his pockets with the money Of the cred
ulous, and is working il for every cent that it is
worth. He announces that the only way to be
sure of getting his remedies pure and properly
prepared, is to send directly to certain dealers
in Bologna, which is quite worthy Of an Amer
lean patent medicine dealer.

"WHY don't you begin your reciprocity
with Canada, instead of South America p
shout the free traders. IF for no other rea-
son, because it would not be good business
policy. Canada would want to put on the
free list the very things that our farmers
desire protected; that is, wool, hides, barley,
lumber, hay, potatoes, eggs, and other agri-
cultural products We could make no bar
gain by which we could sell more of our
agricultural products to them, for the ex-
cellent reason that they are the competitors
of our farmers. 1t is different with the
South American countries They don't
raise what our farmers do, and they produce
what we cannot but must have. They want
our Hour, meat, potatoes, hay, etc, and we
want their coffee, sugar, india-rubber,
tropical fruits, mahogany, dye-woods, etc.
If we can make deal by which they will
let in our products free we will do the same
by theirs. In consequence, they will buy
immensely more of rs, and we of them.
This is the plninest of plain business sense.
BY it we ought to treble or quadruple our
exports TO Central America, Colombia, Peru,
and Brazil within few years. 1t would
not work so well with Chilli and the Argen-
tine Confederation, for the reason that they
lie in nearly the same latitude in the south
ern hemisphere as we do in the northern,
consequently their agricultural products
compete directly with those of our farmers.

petitors our farmers have to meet in the
