1t will be glory enough for one reign
if Pope Leo XIII shall succeed in fore
ing the French Catholic clergy to recog-
nize and support the French republic =
They have been hitherto, during the
whole twenty-One years of its existence,
its worst enemy. The Pope issued a
circular to them in February, commend
ing the republic to them as the uphold
ers of law and order. Many paid no
attention to tho circular. Now, howev-
er, in his new brief, his holiness directs
the recalci.rants in the most unmistakable
terms to uphold the republic of France.
He says that public tranquility and
the common welfare" are the supreme
criterion of stable government, and
that wherever government stands the
test Of this criterion it must receive the
support of all good Catholics.

Why the Democratic Party Continues
xxi I

Pave Hill said. in one of his speeches
IN the South, that ''the Wing party
passed away, other parties have passed
away, but the Democratic party is for
ever and ever" We have no reason to
doubt this however difficult it may be to
explain why the country should be so
afflicted. In politics as in the world Of
nature and of morals, evil seems ever
existent. and SO far as philosophy can
account for its presence it is on the
ffouad atopposing forces are thereby
forced in to action aud the principle of
good is developed and strengthened in
its ceaselcss contest with wrong This
is the only reasonable theory OF the ex-
istenee ef the Democratic party as II is
the only clear answer to the old question,
why don't God kill the Devil?' TIE
Devil and the Demoer lic party are alike
necessary to save men from sinking into
fatal contentment and lethargy-to keep
them wrestling with danger and ADVERSE
ty aud thereby to develop their strength
and faculties.
10 nature the weeds grow spontaneous
y, without care or cultivation, and in
soils where it is impossible to produce
crops. So Democracy thrives and reach
Ps its greatest development in TIE quar-
tiers of great cities given over to the
criminal class and in benighred sections
where schools are almost unknown, aud
churches few and far between. These
instrumeutalities are not needed to pro-
duce Democrats.
Weeds, cookie burrs and ihistles grow
pow as they did thousands Of years agc
Democracy likewise survives withou
education, care or att, ntion. With Re
publcanism il is a fight for existanct
every year; there must be a continuous
campaign of education. Democracy de-
velops itself and is the weed parry o.
politics. To make room for the croE
party the ground must be carefully pre-
pared, good seed sowed, careful cultiva.
tion kept up, md the encroachments Of
the weeds steadily resisted. The labor

cially when it is seen that nothing of the
sort is necessary to maintain the Demo

Another Mckinley Bill Victory.

One more victory for protection and
the Mckinley bill When heavier
duty was put on cotton ties mn lie of iron
cry went up that this meant ruin tn
the planters in ths South The tariff
previous to the passage of the Mckinley
act was 81 per cent. which was the
equivalent to from Sll to Sl2 per ton
At that time the lowest price these
ties we're ever sold at WIS y cents pei
pou ID The duty under the new law
was made S33 60 per ton, and on Thurs
day of last week Messrs. A. r Whit
ney & Co., announced that they are SELL
ing cotton ties, made Of steel, far supe-
rior to any iron tie ever imported. a; ,
CENTS per pound.
Te reporter OF New Yo k city Mr.
Whitney saii "When the duty was al
most tIebled they said we couldn't make
cotton ties in this country, and tina. we
would simply drive Inc planters to ruin.
As soor as the Mckinley bill was passed
many plants have started and new yea
ace the result. There are now 10000
fons made here which were formerly i'm
ported, and the price is lower than it
aver has haen before
When cotton ties were entirely unpro-
freted the price was as high as six cents
per pound. Under the 30 per cent
duty it was two AMI one half cents, aud
now, under what was called an excessive
dry, the price is only two cents per
mound and better article is produced
shan ever before. So. instead Of ruin
ing the Southern planters. this part OF
the Mckinley law has reduced the cost
10 them of necessity, established an
American industry. aud given employ
mept to American workiugmen."

The constitution of the State provides
that all civil officers appointed by the
Governor, except those therein excepted.
shall enter upon the discharge of their
duties in the month of May. THIS pro-
vision was doubtless inserted to insure a
harmonious md systematic plan. In
the new school law it is provided that
the school commissioners shall enter
upon the discharge of their duties in
August, which is in direct couflict with
the constitutional provision. Upon this
rock it is thought the new law will be
wrecked and declared void, as it will
likely will be taken to the court at an
early day. In the event of the nuli6ca-
ton of the law. the present school boards
will serve out their terms without inter-
ruption, according to the provisions Of

The electric light at the present time
plays not unimpOrtant part in the art
Of healing. although from the favorable
reports Of the Investigations Of eminent
foreign scientists it is probable that We
nov see only the beginning of its career.
Eminent physicians continue to study
and experiment; ia order to realize one of
the most modern ideas of medical science,
that of solving the question of how far
the interio. Of the human body can be
made accessible to the eye of the physi
clan.
The medical world is already able to
illuminate the interior of the mouth,
throat, stomach, eye aud ear with the
electric light. This is effected either
by the direct introduction of the source
of light into the organs concerned, or by
reflected illumination. Small incandcs-
cent lamps, scarcely larger than an or
binary rea, are employed in the investi
cations of the cavities of the body, spc-
cial apparatus having been devised for
handling the light.
In he advanc, that has taken place in
the use of electric light in medicine the
most Interesting method. in the opinion
of the London Electrical Re view, is that
by which the internal organs are ilumi-
mated IL the examination Of the throat
the lamp is placed in the shaft Of mir
ror, causing the rays Of light, which fall
into the pharynx, to be reflected to the
eye Of the observer. Much more com.
plicated is The introduction of the light
into the stomach, which is FIRST evacuat-
ed by means of stOmach-pump. and az
forwards expended with air after the ap-
paratus has been introduced.
The arrangement for this purpose is
a long tube, which has at its lower end
a glass window. Behind this is placed
the small electric lamp connected BY
wires with the battery. The turning
on of the current Eliminates through
the window the interior of the body. a
small mirror making the view visible
to the observer. Foreign physicians re
port gratifying success in the employ
ment of this method of examining dis
eased conditions of the stomach.

The development of American tin
mines as we'll us Of American tin plate
manufacture under the stimulating pro.
lection Of the Mckinley tariff is illustra-
ted in letter from Fraser & Chalmers of
Chicago to the New York Evening Post
The Post ha incorrectly stated in a re-
cent issue that lat last accounts the
Harvey Peak proprietors were still I'm
decided respecting the size of the stamp
mill they should order, and also respect
ing the place where they should erect it. ="
Messrs. Fra er & Chalmers write 10
refuta'inn of this misstatemcni:
you have been misiuformed regard
ing what has been done by the Harvey
Peak company. This company entered
into contract with us june %, 1891,
for mill of $50 tons capacity per day,
with power sufficient for driving a mill
Of 500 tons capacity per day. The
contract has been completed by us, aud
our engineers are just completing the
erection of the mill.
The mill as designed embraces all mod
ern improvements, and its future will
prove its efficiency and the value of the
tin mines belonging to the Harvey Peak
company
These facts show how far from the
truth the friends of ihe British tin indus
try usually get when they have anything
to say about American tin. The Hsr
ney Peak company had made contrac
for their mill nearly year ago, and th'
mill is being completed. and yet within
few days past the Evening Post stated
that the proprierors were still undecided
as to the size and location Of the mill. -
Messrs. Fraser & Chalmers are undoubt
