SUBSIDIES TO NEWSPAPERS.

A news paper contemporary Of this city
expresses the opinion hat "it Is unsafe to
believe all that one finds in the English
press about the Russian famine, as several
English journals appear TO be subsidized to
attack Russia al all times, and they are
making capital now ont Of TIE failure Of the
Czar'~ Government to aid the efforts Of
Tclsioi and others t. help the sufferers

so, but j, is net likely the press in Eng and

there would be no necessity 10 subsidiZe the
English press by the English Government

against Russia as they do in that country
against the United States. As 4 rule, Gov
ernments do not often give subsidies 10
newspapers. In England there is no Induce
ment for such acts al the present time. IN
the United States subsidies are bestowed
upon newspapers by corporations and by
individuals. In This city we are hearing con-
tiuually that such and such interests subsl-
die certain newspapers, and II IS not
doubted that this is done to Il considerable
extent, and the practice will be followed
probably as long as the public make no dis
tiacuon between honest and purchasable
papers.

HERBDITY.
Are Acquired Characters Trans.
miSSable!

"Heredity In lis Relation to the Inner
stance Of Acquired Character was the sub
ject Of a very able paper read last evening
before the CalifOru a Academy Of Sciences
by Charles S. Keller, Secretary of the Cali
foruIa Geological Club.
In his introduction Mr.. Keller referred to
the question Of leIedity as being the most
important now under discussion in the
scientific world, and also to the advantages
that would accrue TO humanity 10y clear
understanding Of the great principles under
lying it.
lie then cited several well-known scien-
tile authorities on this subject, Professor
Weismann, Herbert Spencer Darwin,
Romanes, Morgan and others, in an ell
deayor 10 solve one OF natures greatest
mysteries: Can acquired character be in
herted?
Professor Weismann, the great German
scientist. SAYS no, while Spencer, backed by
every American z0Jiogist of any note. holds
10 the affirmative, and MI Keller takes
sides with Spencer, Morgan, R0manes and
others OF this school After getting his evil
dence all IN. both pro and con, the essay ist
drew therefT0m the following conclusion:
Il viii be remembered that the skspti-
Cism regarding The pos lbllty Of acquired
character being transmitted arose from the
theory enUuCiated by Professor WeIsmann.
4 study Of the different theories on hand
dscloses the fact that while DaTwln's n.y.
pOche5is or any subsequent modification OF 1t
was merely a formal and provisional
scheme for explaining the supposed facts
of heredity, Wesmann'S theory Of germ
uiasm appears to be a speculative deduction
from real facts entirely uuwaTTanted. Con
seQueutly, although the theory may be true,
Il appears rather visionary, and certainly
should not be unconditicualiy accented as
true. or even as a working hypothesis, I'M
les, the facts depended upon can be- thus
best explained. The practice Of stretching
facts TO lit a theory cauno! be too strongly
condemned.
1T is obvious that a single established
case Of the inheritance Of an acquired char
acjer would be sufficient to establish the
principle, however many other eases might
be differently explained, and it seems TO me
that many clearly established cases may be
cited. From these we may come to the pro-
visional conclusion that acquired characters
are transmissable.
I've arr justified in using this assumption
as a working hypothesis and in feeling con-
fideut that the future will place it upon
footing beyond the possibility Of Tetuta-

HIS ALBANY EXPLOITS.

Mr.. Cleveland is reported by Democratic
Journals as mucn discouraged at the COL
sidegaton paid Senator Hill in Washington
and elsewhere on account Of his success in
converting q Republican Senate into DEM
ocratic one. This Albany exploit, as it is
called. seems 10 be the tallest feather 10 Mr.
HH's cap. 1t is not surprising that Mr.
Cleveland should be disappointed at the
verdict Of his party leaders on HIPS politi-
cal methods. course Of conduct which
should have laid Hnl upon the highest
shelf the party provides for defunct lead
eTs is made his crown OF glory. On the
Democratic side in tie New York Senate
there sits a man who received 1910 votes less
than his Republican opponent, and as yet
there has been no judicial decision that the
Republican candidate was Ineligible OF in
any way disqualified from sitting as a men,
Der Of tie Senate. As soon as a Demo
cratic majority bad been created By throw
ing out precincts that gave majorities to
Republican candidates the 1910 minority
candidate was declared by resolution and
without debate entitled to a seat. Mr..
Cleveland had n right to expect that the
decent men in the party would hold alOof
from a man who could resort to such meth
DDS, but he finds that they are Indifferent as
to the means by which a battle is won so
that it is won. No wonder a party which
indorses HIPS methods should complain Of
Cleveland on the ground that he is not a
good politician.

likely to cast its vote for the Democratic
candidate If it should be one Of these two
men from this circumstance A similar idea

METHODS or PROTECTION.

For time after the construction Of IRON
clad Tar-yessels and the manufacture Of
guns Of twelve or fifteen inches caliber it
was thought that it would be very difficult
to construct Notifications so as to hinder
these powerful vessels from entering bar
bors and levying tribute from the inaabi-
tants or destroying property. Latterly,
however, a change in opinion has taken
place With the discovery Of dynamite and
other powerful explosives to be used in tor
pedoes, it is doubtful If these irOnclads can
enter Larbor with safety to themselves
when it is properly protected with such APP
pliances. TOrpedOes may be placed at Yari-
Gus points. and exploded by electricity.
Again, torpedo-boats have been constructed
which may be used to destroy the heavy
ironclads Indeed, between torpedo boats

harbors, it is doubtful If city runs much

BOYD OF NEBRASKA.

The Supreme Court has at last decided
the Boyd-Thayer Nebraska case in favor
OF Boyd. The Supreme Court of Nebraska,
it will be remembered, deposed Boyd as
Governor on the ground that he was not a
citizen. The Supreme Court of the United
States declares that he was a citizen, aud
became so by virtue of his fathers declara-
ton of intention TO become a citizen. JUS
tees Harlan. Gray and Brown concurred
in the part Of the decision which held that
Boyd was a citizen but dissented from the
part which declared citizenship a result of
the enabling act admitting Nebraska into
the Union. The minority found evidence to
warrant the conclusion that Boyd's father
took out his final papers, though there was
no record Of his having done So
