From ex-prcsident Cleveland's speech
about the Pilgrim fathers: we cannot
recall their history, and what they did
and established and what they Taught
without also recalling that there have
been pilgrims from New England. who,
finding their way to every part OF the
land. have taken with them those hab.
its. opinionAand sentiments which. hay
ing an early origin in American soil
should be best suited to American life
everywhere and should be the best guar
antees inevery situation Of the preserva
ton in their integrity and purity d
American institutions.

An awful calamity it might have
oeen, had not the burning steamer
Abyssinia met the Spree in the Atlantic
ocean and Had her crew and passengers
taken off. The huge ships of our time
are so constructed that a fire may break
ont in the hold and burn several days
without reaching the danger line. It is
possible usually, in fact, to keep the fire
under control in the hold. and thus oc-
casionally the burning vessel steams
safe into port, although it is known that
she is on fire. But the Abyssinia was
on fire at both ends, and the captain had
thought it best to inform his passengers
of the fact. They fortunately had only
three hours Of anxiety, for the Spree was
soon sighted and took them safely off,
except one seaman. who was drowned in
consequences of losing his head and jump
ing overheard. Navigation is safer now
than It ever was, because SO many steam
ers cross the ocean that it is rare for a
day to pass in which a, vessel does not
sight one or two others, to whom she
can apply for aid if in distress.

We wish our friends happy New
Year, and We proudly receive the same
scordial salutation from them. But
wishing each other happy New Year
win contribute but little toward this
blessing. Much depends upon our
selves. We may not avert accidents
and disasters, but, generally speaking,
we may make ourselves happy if we
will. Our health is largely in oufown
hands, and is no less our happiness.

The miners strike in Indiana has
been declared of, and the workingmen,
after spending two months in idleness,
will go back toswork on the old terms.
The strike has cost, it is estimated,
about 81, $50, 900, most of which will
fall upon the laboring men. This,
however, does not include all that the
miners have paid for their lesson. The
results Of the suffering and privation
endured have yet to be realized in
weakened energies and shortened lives.
The only consolation that the president
Of the State Miners Union could offer
the defeated strikers was that 1.-THE
radical element on both sides has been
subdued and educated, and there seems
reason to hope that in future conser-
vatiye ideas will prevail" 1t is a pity
that such lessons have to be learned at
So fearful cost.

Sergt. Dunn, the weather man, says
the figures for 1891 go to show that
our climate is changing from year to
year. The winter season was notice
ably free from snow, and Of what did
come the greater part fell in January.
There were only five days ON which
the temperature rose above 80 degrees,
and yet the year closed with an excess
Of 500 degrees Of mean temperature.

The Days When We Were Monkeys.
A London scientific gentleman, DR..
Louis Robinson. has been making some
curious experiments which begin at the
nursery end Of human Hfe He has
summed up his Investigations in IN
article entitled '.Darwinism IN the
Nursery He concludes that the ac-
tions and vocal sounds of newborn
infants give additional evidence in fa-
vor of the theory that man is descended
from simian ancestry. For instance.
when Il baby says goo. goo. it is
merely giving utterance to some rem
nants of the monkey tongue. If its
mother was today i monkey instead Of
merely the descendant Of monkey she
would know just what the word ..goo"
meant,
But the doctor finds the most remark
able circumstantial evidence in the ire
mendous grip of baby hand compared
to the diminutive size of its body. Any
healthy baby of no more than two hours
old can support the weight of its body
by clinging to the limb of tree. DR..
Robertson has experimental with 100
healthy babies. ranging from two hours
TO several days old. and in only two
ceases have the babies failed to hang by
their hands to stick or branch for from
ten seconds to two minutes and half.
-. +.
This. in fact, would be good test Of an
infants robustness
To the doctors mind this fact points
clearly to a survival Of the days when
all mankind were monkeys and swung
by their hands from limb to limb OF 4
tree, from the Oldest to the youngest, as
easily as a fly walks on the ceiling. In
some ways we have lost as nluch as we
have gained by civilization.

GENERAL ALGER attributes the po-
litical revolution to the state of unrest
with the American people, and says:
The prime cause of Mr. Harrison's
defeat. as it appears 60 me, is the nat
ural uneasiness Of the people. The
laboring men especially, are led by
this spirit of uarest to think that there
should be a change.
When we think how small a number
Of voters can change the Government
of the country, II is easy 20 see that
this restless feeling among laboring
men may be a sufficient explanation.
HENRY GEORGE does not regard the

thing like break up Of old party rela-
tions. He regards. as does Mr.. Sher-
man and Edward Reliamy in a recent
interview, the manifestation Of Pop
ulist strength ia the far West as the
most significant element revealed by
the struggle of Tuesday.
Mr.. George thinks that no inhuenea
of a personal nature can control this
mighty force which has been develop
ed in the far west.

In order that Mr.. Robinson should not

The shortage. it is thought, is due to

agreement to refund any amount dis
covered in favor of the teller to the

that Mr.. VOshell never intended to de-
fraud the bank of cent, and that the
