The Competing Road.

The result OF the election in this
State has had an enormously salts
factory effect upon the San Francisco
& Great Salt Lake Railroad enter
prise.
Capitalists who had hesitated to
interest themselves in the competing
road, fearing that the political CON
dition in this State would operate to
embarrass it, are now coming ent1u-
s~iasticaIly to the front.
1t has always been regarded as an
e%xcellent business proposition should
it receive fair play to begin with, and
now that that is assured and there is
no fear that the Legislature will be
used against it, it is booming.
This is an answer to hundreds of
letters the Report has recently re-
ceived III to the apparently q~uiescent
condition Of the company. It was
awaiting the election, and the cleo
ton has turned out exactly as ii
wished. 1t will go ahead now.-[San

THE HEIGHT OF ADAM AND
EVE.

/ have often wondered where M.
Henrion, the French ~savant, got his
data for the curious speculations he
gives as to the height and other pro-
portions Of Adam and Eve. In his
remarkable work, "The Degeneration
Of the Human Race" published in
Ills, the learned academician gravely
iuforrus his readers that Adam was
123 feet and 9 inches in height, while
his disobedient consort al but a
paltry 118 feet from the sole of the
foot to the crown Of the head. or
course all who have read very extern
sively the Talmudic literature, or
even Barring ould's Legends of the
Patriarchs and Prophets," remember
TIE wonderful stories told of how
Adam was made; OF his gigantic size,
and how, after his fall, his stature
was reduced by several miles by God
himself.
The Talmud had this to say Of
Adams height: "He was so tall that
he stood with feet on earth and head
in heaven until after God pressed
him down ut the time of the fall"
Rabbi Jhuda says that when he lay
IN the earth his body completely
covered it. Another Talmudic story
says: $50 judge how long he was
understand that his body stretched
from one end Of the earth to the
other, and it takes q man 500 years 10
walk that distance. y \ The angels
were awed with wonder when they
saw that gigantic human being and
bowed before him crying holy, holy,
holy Then God reduced his size by
cutting off great chunks Of flesh"
These are all absurd legendary stories,
of course, but where did IIenrion get
his figures for the 123 foot calculation
mentioned in the opening?-[Phil4-

be less hurtful than it Is IL the naturaliza-
ton laws were faithfully carried out. and
no foreigner was allowed to become citi-
zen until he was fit for the privilege. The
Congress which drew the existing statutes
governing immigration had this clearly In
view when it framed the law. 1t imposed
on the juGges,who grants n certificate OF
naturalization the duty of determining
whether or not the nation would be advan-
tagged by accepting the new member. The
idea of the lawmakers was that the judge
would exercise a wise discrimination, and
would admit one applicant who seemed to
be fit and exclude another who seemed I'M
fit. Unfortunately this prudent provision
has of late years been treated as a nullity,
or an idle form. Before election every APP
plicant is admitted; though she may be a
jailbrd. ticket-of-leave man, a profess
sional burglar. or habitual SOL, or an in
corrigible thief.
1t is high time that judges were reminded
that this neglect of duty is unfair to the ma
ton, and scandalous. A judge who takes
money to decide case wrongfully is not
more culpable than judge who opens the
national door to a criminal, or to one whose
ignorance prevents his discharge Of the
duties of citizenship. In the one case the
Judge Is liable to removal by impeachment
1t is hard TO see why he should not be
equally liable in the other.

the whole sum to the County Clerk to await

The interest taken in college football In
America is shown by the long reports tele-
graphed everywhere about the match be-
tween Yale and Harvard. Not State in
the Union was passive in watching this ex
citing annual contest. Every State con.
tains Yale graduates and Harvard eradu
ates. some OF them old and prosperous in
professions or bu sinesS, but all of them
proud of their alma mater and ready to
whoop with Joy when triumnh in
athletics occurs. A good deal OF festiyity
occurs on the night OF the victory, and there
IS also consi ts e exchange OF money

boat-race between Oxford and Cambridge
excites so much enthusiasm as matches he
tween the picked teams Of Yale and Har-
ward now do. London is the principal CEN
ter for the boat-race excitement. The rest
OF the country is comparatively apathetic.

him TO bring parcel for them from n

The story that the Emperor William of
Germany Intends to prosecute Prince Bis
mark for the revelation Of state secrets is
prepcsterous and unworthy of credence.
Such prosecution would stir all GERMANY
to the heart and would bode good to the
empires peace. Irritating as have been
the ex-Chancellor's criticisms on public af
fairs, his services TO the state during long
years In me past are too eminent to be for
gotten. The age OF the ex-Chancellor
should also protect him. Yet while in
office he did not hesitate to strike hard at
opponents guilty of the same indiscre
ton as himself. Perhaps the masterful
ness OF the Emperor brooking no interfer-
ence with his plans may be attributed n
little to the education he received from Bis

MURPHY AND SCHURZ.

Edward Murphy is the Tammany candi-
date for Senator. The anti Tammany
Democrats, represented by the Times. have
named Carl SchurZ for the place. The two
men occupy opposite wings in the Demo-
cratic mansion. Murphy is practical poll
tieian, master In the art.of machine poll
tics and a close friend of Senator Hill
Schurz is a scholar. theorist and in politics
mugwump. He has served in the Senate
and also in the Cabinet. making for himself
the reputation of a statesman with convic-
tions. When party departs from what he
considers the right course he assumes to-
ward it an Independent attitude. Conse-
Quently in the last twenty years il has been
impossible most of the time to determine to
which party Mr.. SchurZ was the most
closely attached. In the late campaign he
came out for Cleveland and doubtless con-
tributed to the force of the landslide which
the Republicans ran into. Mr.. Schurz Is an
out-and-out free-trader. He believes in
pursuing the course which seems TO lie
right and in letting consequences take care
of themselves. Whether in the Senate or
not he would naturally advocate radical
revision of the tariff at the earliest practical
moment. Letting the protected Industries
down easy would, in his opinion, be equiya-
lent to compromising felony. He will
require the party to keep faith with the
people" regardless Of results. The coBelu-
sion seems reasonable that a collision is
inevitable between Mr.. Schurz and Mr.
Murphy. The former despises the ma
chine; the latter believes it Indispensable
The former has ideas; the latter methods

IN A QUANDARY.

Congressman Geary Is reported as saying:
But IL will be impossible for The Democracy TO
GO so Tar IN the direction Of free trade as the
application OF that principle Chat dulles should
be measured by the difference In the labor cost
IN this country and in Europe) would compel, for
an immense revenue must be collected at the
Custom-house. Yea can't get revenue of
s3oO,ooo.ooo year and have flee trade or any
thing like it.
MI. Geary, like many other Democrats.
finehes from the application of his theories.
A tariff for revenue only means duties on
foreign products that we must of necessity
import. IL Is on this point that the pro-
teetye tariff and the revenue tariff differ.
The protective tariff let's in goods that we
must import free and collects from goods
that come 10 competition with the products
of our own country. The Democrats de-
clared the protective principle was uncon-
stitutional and won the election on the
declaration. The people have a right TO
demand that they carry out their doctrine.
The $500, COO that must be obtained at
the Custom house may be derived from
duties on tea, coffee, sugar. drugs and other
articles that we necessarily import. A 90
per cent ad yal0rem tax on tea would not
greatly affect imports OF that necessity of
life. So with coffee and so with sugar.
With the bounty off no considerable amount
of sugar will be produced in this coun-
Try. Yet sugar We must have. A
revenue of S75, 1000 a year can be
Obtained in this way. But Mr.. Geary
and other Democrats do not propose to im-
pose duties on tea, coffee or sugar. In other
words, they are not in favor OF tariff for
revenue only. They probably thought they
were, but when they come face TO face with
the proposition they find they are not or
course it will be impossible to greatly re-
duce duties on competing foreign articles
unless we Impose duties on non-competing
articles. But the Democrats should have
known the revenue requirement of the Gov
eminent as well before the election as after.
They cannot plead that any financial sur
priSes were sprung upon them. The people
have known for year or more that the
treasury was pretty well scraped of every
thing but the 100000. 00O in gold set apart
for the redemption Of legal tender notes.
When the Democrats meet In the next
Congress they viii be compelled to do one
OF three things-t0 impose duties on tea,
coffee, sugar and other articles we neces-
sarily import, to retain about the present
duties on competitive foreign products. or
10 provide for revenue by means of direct
taxes. They will probably choose the
first They will do so with misgiyings,
but they will do Ii. To continue the present
duties on competitive foreign products
would be an admission that the protective
principle was constitutional and right TO
impose direct taxes would require more
courage than the Democratic party has re-
