laws are relic of bygone ages. They
have come down to us from the bar
barous code Of tine church and state
governments of medieval Europe.
They belong only with such systems
of government and to time when it
was supposed that religion could not
survive without the fostering care of
the civil power. But We cannot afford
to forget that the world moves, and
the SOONER we erase from our statute
books such iinger-marks of ignorance
and bigotry the better.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. IL, 1891.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. IL, 1891.
Senator Plumb does not agree with
the majority of his party upon finan-
cial matters, nor upon the tariff, but
when it comes to a question of Govern
ment pap, which is the keystone OF
the latter-day Republican arch, he is a
Republican to the backbone. He has
just given ample evidence of this by
iathering the boldest attempt yet open
ly made for overriding the sanctimon-
iOus fraud known as the civil service
law. He has introduced a joint reso-
luton providing that stenographers,
clerks, chiefs of divisions, copyists and
computers in the Census office shall
be eligible tor transfer to the classified
service in any of the Government de-
partments. That means that a couple
OF thousand Republicans are, as they
are dropped from the rolls of the CEN
sus bureau, which will be gradually re-
duced from this time on, to be put in
to the regular departmental service
without going through n civil service
examination it also means that all of
the Democrats now in the classified
service are to be discharged to make
room for those whose Republicanism
Mr.. Porter of the Census bureau has
vouched for under oath. Every one
knows that the civil service law is Il
colossal humbug, and there would be
no grief if it was repealed tomorrow,
but that is no excuse for such schemes
to trample under foot a law of the land
as this one is.
He is a pretty thick-skinned man
who cannot in these days he reached
by public opinion. Representative
Dingley has found it necessary to de-
fend his silver pool investigating COM
mittee from the charge Of not attempt
ing to get all of the information pos
sible out OF the witness, Owenby, who
was before the committee last week.
Mr.. Dingley's denial is almost a reitera-
ton of the charge. He says the COM
mittee was anxious to have Owenby
testify to what he had personal knOwl
edge OF, but that it objected TO his Civ
ing hearsay evidence, and yet Mr.. Ding
ley knows very well that the specula-
tons in silver of those two eminent
Republicans, Senator Cameron and
Representative Taylor, of Illinois, were
first brought out by hearsay evidence,
but perhaps that was the very reason
that he objected to any more of it.
He doesn't want any more Republicans
found out, and they are not likely to
be, unless some enterprising newspaper
man does it.

WELL, well Truly wonders will
never cease. According to ex-senator
Warner Miller, President of the Mica
ragua Canal Company, the PROPOSE
ton to have the Governments guarantee
the bonds of that corporation did not
come from the company, but from the
Senate committee On Foreign Affairs,
and was the result of an investigation
of the progress made by the company
in building the canal. He hastens to
add that the company had promptly
accepted the provisions of the bill in
view of the many advantages to be de-
rived therefrom. Well, We should
think so. Is there any corporation in
existence that would not promptly ac-
ccpt an offer of the United States Gov
ernment to guarantee the payment of
5000 900, 600 of its bonds, and especially
a company that finds its bonds drug
on the market, even when offered at
all sorts of ruinous discounts, as has
been the case with the Nicaragua
company. If the company did not
request this legislation, some individ-
ual or individuals very heavily inter
ested therein must have exercised
powerful influence over the Senate
committee on Foreign Affairs.

Senator Squire has prevailed upon
President Harrison TO extend his Pa

gests the query, Why should any per
suasion be used to induce the Presi-
dent to visit one OF the most progress
sive States in the Union, while out on
a junketing tour, and one which will
be an important factor in political
events which intimately affect that
gentleman's views? The fact doubt
less is that Squire has had nothing to
do with changing Mr.. Harrison's plans,
but ascertaining what they were, he
has lost no time in appropriating what
political prestige may result from the
visit.

One would suppose from reading the
comments of the Republican press
upon the pleasant exchange of cour-
tesies between Governor and Senator
elect Hill and ex-President Cleveland
ut Il recent dinner at New York that
the Republicans expected these two
gentlemen to meet la Fitzsimons
and Dempsey. This is absurd. Cleve-
land and Hill are good friends and are
both good Democrats, and we have no
hesitation in making the prophecy
that when the next national campaign
opens they will both be hard at work
for the Democratic nominee, whether
it be one OF them or some other DEM
Ocrat.

Col. Meyer Kaufman, one of Taco
mas prominent citizens, died this
week. He was one of the States most
prominent and active business men.
Although his residence here has been
less than six years, his name is known
in every precinct, and everywhere as a
man of bold and progressive character
A few years ago Mr.. Kaufman was
made chairman of the famous Com
mittee of Fifteen which forced the
Cinnamon out of the City OF Destiny
in such summary fashion. He was
a patriotic and persistent Democrat
and the Woodworking president of the
Central Democratic club of Pierce
county. In 1889 this cold war horse
of the Democracy" as he was familiar
ly styled, became the candidate of his
party for Treasurer of State. Like the
remainder of his ticket he was defeat
ed, but it never checked his ardent de.
votion to Democratic principles. At
the time of his death, on Sunday last,
he held membership in the Seattle
lodge Of l. o. B. B, was President of
the Tacoma Hebrew benevolent organ
ization and also OF the Tacoma assem-
bly, of the Knights OF Labor.

DEPEW ON IMMIGRATION,
The Condition of England's Working Peo-
pie nm Argument for Restriction

The Condition of England's Working Peo-
pie m Argument for Restriction
DR.. Chauncey NJ. Depew, fresh from his
trip to Europe, has this to say to St. Louis
Globe-Denocrat correspondent: England is
the dumping ground of Europe; tnat is, the
undesirable population of the continent is
encouraged to inmigrate to England. Eng
land encourages a further immigration to
the United States The distressing condi-
tion of the poorer people of London is ag-
gravated by the influx Of these undesirable
foreigners And the result is to be seen on
every hand. AS in New York and other
large cities in the United States, the for
eigners who know nothing of the rights of
native workmen take the places of the lat
ter and work for a good deal less money.
Much misery is therefore experienced by
the native British workingmen.
To see the effect unrestricted immigration
to England has had upon the workingmen
of that country is an argument in favor of
shutting our own doors to the same classes
that come here. The United States is the
Mecca of the poor and oppressed people Of
Europe. A great many of them deny them
selves the necessaries of life that they may
save enough money to pay their passage to
this country. Once here they think that
will flow to them without inter-
ruption.

Doubts as to the Kinetosraph.

Aleading English engineering journal, in
discussing the merits of Edison's l1ineto-
graph, points out that the first to achieve
success in photographing living creatures in
rapid motion was Muybridge, of San Fran
cisco. His pictures, when combined in the
zoetrope, or when thrown on the screen by
the apparatus which its inventor called the
zoopraxfscope, gave absolutely correct rep
resentations of the movements Of animals
and showed nothing of the 'Jerky and i'm
perfect motion" which, according to Mr.. Ed
ison's statement, characterizes the attempts
of his predecessors. Muybridge was fol-
lowed by the Frenchman Marcy, and by the
German Anschutz, both of whom obtained
improved results in consequence of the
progress which had been made in photo
graphic processes. AnSchutZ'5 pictures
trope at the Camera Club, London. FrieSo
Greene, clever young English photogra-
pher, afterward devised an ingenious appa-
ratus which had the same object and which
appeared to work IN just the same way as
Edison'S invention. The journal in QueS-
tion states that it is difficult to see what adj
vance Edison has made on this, except that
with his great mechanical ingenuity, and
his command of mechanical appliances, he
has probably produced more finished
piece of apparatus, working more smoothly
and accurately.
The real difficulty in carrying ont Edison's
proposals to the extent he suggests lies in
the Photographic part OF the work. With
the films at present at the disposal of the
photographer, it is only possible to get these
very rapid pictures in q very brilliant light.
Until yet further advance is made in the
sensitiveness of Photographic plates land
such advance may at any moment be made),
Edison will have to content himself with
of sunlit scenes When he
comes to the magic lantern representation
of stage plays, he will find that no artificial
light at present available will give him de-
tailed photographs at the rate of 46 per
second

George Eliot's philosophy of pretence-our
doing or being what we are expected to do
or be-can be applied to dogs as well as
men. A dog, even more than a man, will
be just what you expect him to be. Treat
him as though he were some giddy, frivo-
lous, irresponsible youngster and he will at
once be such. If you expect, him to uphold
the family dignity, he'll do it. Bully him,
and he becomes whining coward Cheat
him, lie to him, rob him, and he'll retaliate
in kind. A dog and his master are always
of kind and whatever the dog takes his
master to be, that he'll try to be also. 1

the next morning, two little figures could be
seen stealing along the sandy shore. When
they reached the miserable hut, the witch
had gone out. Margaret entered the house,
and, taking down the magic veil, hung in
its place the one which she and Inga had
made. They then hurried away, and that
night when the moon arose, Inga and the
Counts daughter made their way to the
shore, and few moments later, the water
nymphs and the Sea King appeared. Inga
threw the veil about her, and stepping into
the water, cried: "Father, I am coming
home to Won and mother"
As Margaret looked regretfully after her
friend, she saw her reach the King and re-
ceive his loving embraces, while the nymphs
danced about for joy. Inga now often
waves her hand to Margaret, and sends her
rich gifts by her nymphs, but she never
again ventured to the shore, and to this
day the old witch thinks that the silver
veil hanging on her wall is the one she
stole from the Sea Kings daughter.

It Has Made a New Nation of the Great
Country of South America.
The Republic of Brazil is progressing
more rapidly than the country did as an
empire, says N. P. Witter, of Rio Janeiro
in the st. Louis Globe Democrat. The people
are projecting many improvements, some of
which are possible and some are not. 1t
would amuse you to hear the old timers
who opposed anything like the introduction
Of modern ideas under the old regime talk
Of new railroads, mills, street improve
ments and electric light plants for all the
world like the residents of realEye, BOOM
ing town in the West.
Another amusing, but grateful, change to
an American is noted in the conduct of the
people, the independent swing of their at
tltude, their freedom in criticising the ac-
tions of provincial and Government officials.
In the old days, under the empire, it meant
treason to criticise the Administration
officials, and now the latter are abused and
compelled to explain in manner that is
particularly homelike to man from the
United States The men who have money
are using it to make more, and not boarding
1t away as they did a few years ago Every
body has confidence in the new form of gov
ernment, and many features of the system
In this country are used.
