Pension YetOes.

The ayidity with which politicians
seize on to every point which suggests
itself as Il vote winner, is remarkable
Some of the most ridiculous arguments
sometimes Gil the bill and gain the end
even though they are absolutely devoid
Of merit. The Republican press and
cartoonists are getting in their heaviest
workin the present campaign on the
charge that Cleveland vetoed numerous
pension bills, ard is therefore the foe
to the soldier, and vice versa that Har-
rison never vetoed a pension bill and Is
therefore a friend to the soldier.
Let us dissect this campaign thunder
and see what there is in it. The cor
ruption covered and uncovered in the
pension business is too we'll known to
need a rehearsal. Hundreds of rogues
who never saw a battlefield and hun
dreds more have used perjury and mis-
representation to obtain pensions to
which they were not entitled. Improp-
err private pension bills have been work.
ed through Congress by relatives with
an official pull, which had no business
there, and an official who would allow
this evil to go unchecked, would not
be faithful to his trust. Soldier and
citizens will agree with us this far.

The spirit Of tariff s~polistion as ex-
hibited in the Mckinley act was long
ago condemned by the Supreme Court
of the United States, speaking by the
mouth Of Justice Miller. In Loan

opinion of the Court said: "To lay
with one hand the power of Govern
ment on the property of the citizen.
and with the other to bestow IL upon
favored individuals to aid private en-
terprises and build up private fortunes,
is none the less a robbery because it Is
done under the forms of laM and is
called taxation. This is not taxation.
1t is a decree under Legislative forms.''

form Oh the tariff is the doctrine of the

lNE Of the latest propositions in

One of the latest propositions in re-.
gard to the Comstock mines is to consoli.
date them into one or two great com.
panies, and by doing so effect a saving of
about $4,000 a year This move would
let out a small army Of superintendent,
assistant superintendents, presidents and
vice presidents, secretaries and assistant
secretaries, chief clerks and assistants,
book.ksepcrs and assistants, and close up
= dozen expensive Offices occupied by the
sAid small army, whose chief business it
is to see that assessments are regularly
made and that their own salaries are
forthcoming. So there is little probable.

DECAY OF THE STOCK MARKET

The members of the San Francisco
Stock Exchange have decided to abolish
the insurance OF $4,000 on the life Of each
member, and have decided also to sell
the Stock Exchange building, where their
sessions are held, of q price OF $3.50, 600.
The property cost some $4,000. The
San Francisco Mining Press says it will
seem strange to those who remember the
days Of mining stock excitement on Cali
fornia and Pine streets to find the Board
Of Brokers even considering such ques-
tons A. these. But the fact is the bot.
tom has dropped out of the mining stock
market. The Board OF Brokers 10 largely
TO blame for this result. The fact Of a
mine being listed at the Board was no
guarantee of its reliability. "Wildcats"
were a. readily listed as Legitimate mines,
provided the requisite fees were forth
coming. Swindles Of all kinds were
foisted on the public. not by the brokers
themselves, but by designing mining
sharps, and the brokers took little or no
trouble in un-srthing them. So in time
the public let all the stocks alone,
good. bad and Indifferent. The rascally
transactions which have gone on in the
management OF the Comstock mines have
only met with feeble remembrance by the
brokers, IL any has been made at all.
The resolution to sell the building looks
like the beginning Of the end. Its sale
will rslegats stock-dealing to merited OBJ
scurity. There is little in the business
now; there will DO nothing then. Per
haps in that event many of the minei
which have been kept going by asses
ments will have TO DO worked legitimately
a. mines or closed down forever. Ths
palmy days of stock dealing have passed.
Mining in these days is more Of bust
ness than speculation; and people will
no longer invest their hard.earned dol
lars in certificates the value OF which de-
Ponds on the Vaccinations Of the dirsc
tors, rather than tho condition of the

Exchange will disappear the mill rings

The Height OF Adam and Eve.

have often wondered where M. Hen
rion, the French savant, got his data for
the curious speculations he gives as to
height and other proportions of Adam
and Eve. In his remark able work, 1.-THE
Degeneration of the Human Race, pub.
lished in l7l8, the learned academician
gravely informs his readers that Adam
was 1913 feet and inches in height,
while his disobedient consort was but a
paltry llS feet from the sole of the foot
to the crown of the head. OF course all
who have read very extensively the Tai
mudic literature or even Bearing
Gould's Legends of the Patriarchs and
PROPHETS" remember the wonderful
stories told of how Adam was made; of
bis gigantic size, and how, after the fall,
his stature was reduced by several miles
by God himself
The Tslmud 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 at the
time of the fall"
Rabbi Jhuda says that when he lay on
the earth "his body completely covered
it." Another Talmudic story says: "To
Judge how long he was, understand that
his body stretched from one end of the
earth to the other, and it takes = man
500 years to walk that distance.
The angels were swed with wonder when
they saw that gigantic human being and
bowed before him crying Holy, holy.
holy Then God reduced his size by
cutting of great chunks of flesh" These
are all absurd legendary stories, of
course; but where did Henriop get his
figures for the l23foot calculation men
