terpret McKiniey's election A. . sign
in the heavens to the party to make
the Mckinley tariff the CHEZ issue in
the next presidential campaign OF next
year. But how can it be made the
chief issue if every body is to keep still
about it? Mr. Mckinley says the cleo
ton in Ohio means that the people are
against constant agitation" OF the
subject. and yet we are constantly
told that the people of the country
must be ..educated' to the Mckinley
tariff before they can appreciate the
advantages of dearness and the de
grading and demoralizing effects of
cheapness A campaign of education
by silence might be possible in a Qua
ker community, but we feel justified in
predicting that IL viii be failure If it
shall be attempted by the republican
managers in this country next year

A CRY FOR QUARTER.

McKinley's Queer Method Of Educating
the People.
Mr.. Mckinley, who has been elected
governor of Ohio because he was the
author of the ''bravest and best tariff
bill ever framed" according to the high
authority of the Tribune, sends out
over the country to-day a proclama-
ton which begins with this announce
ment: 81 am convinced that the judg-
ment of our citizens does not approve
the constant agitation of the tariff is
sue in the face of the fact that it can
accomplish nothing" That is nothing
more nor less thin a request for ST.
lence ON the part of everybody, demo-
Gratis and tariff ceformers In particu-
lar, concerning he merits of this same
s'bravest and hest tariff ever framed"
One would suppose that the more a
tariff of that xind were discussed, the
clearer would its beauties shine forth
This is the view of the Tribune and
other republican auth on tiles. who in

painted in red. white, blue and other
simple colors. with figures of birds and
animals and a sort of hieroglyphics
There is no reason to believe that a
people who wrought stone and clay
with such facility and skill into perfect
images of animals should not have left
sculptures of their own faces in the
images taken from mounds and graves
1t was evidently favorite pastime of
these primitive artists to reproduce the
human figure as well as the figures of
birds and animals. and as in the latter
they copied the creatures about them.
in the production of the former there is
equal reason to believe they copied
their fellows. SO that we have before us
in their sculptures fair representations
of the physiognomies of the ancient
Americans The perfection of their
animal representations furnish US as
surance that their sculptures of the
human face were equally true to nature
These evidences of the genius and art
of the prehistoric Americans are Ger
tainly sufficient to prove that they be-
longed to a different and far superior
civilization to that of the Indians The
Indians have been found inhabiting
some of the ruins and using the utensils
and implements of these people. and
have appropriated some of their GUS
toms, but they never could have created
that civilization-they do not seem
even to have comprehended it. at least
have not profited by it-and they must
have found it here in the height of its
perfection, ready for any who could and
would use it.

The SITUATIONS,
Facts Developed by the Recent State
Elections.

Facts Developed by the Recent State
Elections.
The noise of a great conflict dies
away and the flag of true and un-
daunted democracy has been carried
forward. In New York, on issues
chiefly national. the party has united
in the support Of an excellent candi-
date, with the result that everything is
ours In Massachusetts,, after a stub
born fight, a democrat is for the second
time chosen governor, the victory be-
ing due to the demand of the people
for freRr trade. In Iowa, a democrat
elected two years ago by an accident,
as it seemed, is successful again by an
increased majority on an increased
vote, and probably carries the entire
state ticket with one exception with
him. In Ohio Mr.. Mckinley, the very
embodiment of protection, the chief ben
efactor of trusts, rings and subsidy
hunters, unites all elements of his own
party. concentrates the forced and vol
untary contributions of ten thousand
manufacturers, and in the face of dem
ocratic discussions succeeds in his can
vass by a majority which is not SO
much a victory as a presage of ap-
preaching disaster.
Let us make no mistake about the
situation; the battle is not won, it is
only begun. Republicans find their
lines of communication assaiIed. and
they viii not in 1892 be able to concen-
trate their forces in two states Never
theless they will contest every inch of
ground with stubborn determination,
and they are well entrenched, and well
supplied with the sinews of war.
Democrats have a fighting chance, no
more, in Massachusetts, and in Iowa
Had the democratic candidate for gov
ernor in Iowa delivered the speeches
on silver which united the party in
Massachusetts,, he could not have won
Had the democratic candidate for gov
ernor in Massachusetts, dealt with
silver as it was dealt with in Iowa he
would have been defeated. In both
Massachusetts, and Iowa the people are
thoroughly aroused on the question of
tariff reform 1t is an issue which
uaites the democrats of every section
of the union. For it the leaders OF the
party have since 1876 contended with
great courage, with great wisdom, and
under much encouragement At last
victory is within our reach The
whole organization, from Massachu-
sets to Texas, is inspired with en-
thusiasm and supported by the hope of
victory. On this issue, and on this
issue alone, can democrats every
where be brought face to face in solid
phalanx with the republican hosts 1t
is no time now for new issues or for
the discussion of questions involving
another educational campaign

she called to remembrance the pretty,
blushing girl-wife her brother-in-law
Hal had brought with such pride to
show them sixteen years ago-nay, she
was even touched with a slight pang Of
remorse, for had she not promised the
handsome scapegrace that she would be
a friend to his ''wee wife, if ever she
needed one?

this line of unaccustomed thought, do
you not think we might do something

One letter is the cordial and digni-
fed expression of courtesy of a man

and decoration of the lance-heads, brace
lets, copper beads, pottery and other
articles that exist in great quantities,
tens of thousands of pieces of which
have been collected into various mu-
seums Of this and other countries.
Copper vessels have been found inlaid
with silver. Most of the pottery is
elegantly designed and finished and the
stone articles show fine workmanship,
some deliberately carved. for which cut
ting of porphyry and obsidian tools of
excellent quality must have been re-

These people mined copper and silver
in the Lake Superior region and
wrought them into implements of war
and ornaments and articles of domestic
use. The present miners of this region
find entire veins removed for the dis
lance of one hundred and fifty miles,
showing that the ancient Americans
used extraordinary quantities of cop
per, the silver being found incidentally
in connection with the copper. They
also mined mica and polished great
sheets of it into mirrors. Some of the
pottery found is equal to the finest of
that extraordinary variety made by the
