McKinley's plurality for governor of
Ohio year ago was over 2l,5OO. The
normal republican plurality in the state in
presidential years is from 10000 to $4,000.
With these facts in mind, it must be APP
parent that the election of one democratic
presidential elector and the lowering of the
republican plurality TO a figure so small that
the official count is necessary to fix it,
IS a democratic victory, the moral effect Of
which is as weighty as if the state had given
Cleveland 80 900 majority. Ohio's electoral
vote is not necessary to Cleveland's election,
so 1t will really make no difference in the
general result which way the state has gone.
But her declaration against protection and
force methods in elections should be potent
with her representatives in congress.

A Deficiency Instead of a Surplus

Deficiency Instead OF Surplus
When Mr.. Cleveland went out of Office in
1889 there was large surplus in the treas
ury. During Gen. Harrison's administra-
ton the surplus has disappeared and there
is believed to be very large deficiency.
The money that accumulated under Mr.
Cleveland's economical administration has
bsen distributed, and when he returns to
the presidency on March he will be con-
fronJed with the difficult problem of finding
the means Of meeting maturing obligations.
A great deal of the surplus that Mr..
Cleveland left has been paid out in pensions
Under Gen. Harrison's administration the
pension charge has been increased enor-
mously. The republicans were so bent on
capturing the soldier vote by liberal pension
legislation that they gave little or no
thought to the question whether the reve-
nues of the government would be sufficient
to pay the enormous additions to the pen
sion charges which they were constantly
making. They simply trusted to luck to find
the means to pay the obligations they were
mourning.
1t is quite certain there will be no legisla-
ton during Mr.. Cleveland's term to increase
the pension charge. There will much more
likely be an investigation of the entire pen
sion office for the purpose of discovering
whether or not great frauds have not been
committed in the pension office. and whether
those who are beneticiaries of these frauds
If any frauds have been committed, cannot
be punished.
1t is generally believed that thousands are
now drawing pensions who are not entitled
to them. If this belief is well founded there
will be reform of the whole pension bus.
mess. There are men In Washington who
make a living by lobbying pension bills
through congress and then collecting the
pensions which the bills authorize They
will find their occupation gone. 1t will be
a long time before the pension charge is in
creased by another general pension law.
The difficulty for number of years will be
to find sufficient money to pay the pensions
already authorized.

Stories About the White House.

A historical fact not generally known is
that the presidents house narrowly es-
capped being a congress house. In 1898,
when the government was creating a CAPT
tai in "a mudhole on the Potomac, and had
run short of funds, proposition was made
that work on the Capitol be stopped and
that the White House be fitted up for the
Use of congress. Estimates were secured
on the cost of doing the work, and if Presi-
dent John Adams hadn't interfered the
completion of the building might have been
delayed for many years.
Another source of annoyance was the
disposition made of the great carpet
presented to General Grant by the sultan

and sewed it together with a pickering,

Persian Civilization.

condition of our good friends, the neighbors
OF our Indian empire, Is. l. think, due to
ignorance, and fear also to insular preju-
dice. Persia has not progressed as Europe
has done, but Persian civilization and Persian
art had reached high degree of develop
ment when England was covered with
tangled forests and its inhabitants were half
clothed savages, whose highest skill was
shown in the slaughter of wild animals with

though Persian ART is certainly stified by the
introduction of cheap but inartistic articles

etiquette Is as strictly observed as in any
country in the world, and though, in some
trifles, the manners of a Persian gentleman
may appear strange and even amusing when
observed in the west, it is safe to say that
nothing which a Persian gentleman would he

ciety would in any way shock the delicate
feelings Of that society. In this respect it is
fortunate that the recent journeyings of the

had been current concerning the disagreeable

spontan.ous Combustion of Hay.

The celebrated Breslau botanist, Professor
Cohn, recently proved, by series of exhaus-
tive experiments, that the heating of masses
of damp hay to a temperature resulting in
spontaneous combustion is caused by fungus.
He first examined the Heterogeneous action
of the Aspergillus fumigatus, a plant having
an evil reputation for causing illness, and
which occasions the heating of sprouting
harley. Through the breathing of the small
germ-that is to say, through the combus-
ton of the starch and other coal hydrates,
which are changed 10y diastatic fermenta-
ton into maltese and dextrine-an increase
of temperature to about 40 dogs c.
follows, when the germs become stiff and
heated a condition in which they soon die.
The heating of the germs to over GO degs
c. takes place only when the fermentar
ton activity of the Aspergillus fumigatus
sets in, and this exhibits its highest develop
ment and action in a temperature above
blood heat, in which state it rapidly CON
sumes the coal hydrates. OF all the actions
of the fungus, and these are of an extremely
manifold character, this action of the Asper-
gillus fumigatus is probably one of the most
singular -Montreai Star.

Why Meat Costs More Than yegeta bles
Meat is a manufactured product for
which large amount of raw material is
required. The manufacture of meat is
a process of Transforming the vegetable
protein. fats and carbohydrates of grass
and grain into the animal protein and
fat of beef, pork and mutton. The same
principle applies in the production of
milk, eggs and other animal foods. In
the most economical feeding of animals
it takes number of pounds of hay or
corn to make a pound of beef or pork.
In other words, let the farmer make ami
NAL protein and fat from vegetable ma
terials in the best way he can and still
he must consume large quantity of
soil product to produce small amount
of animal food. Hence animal foods are
costlier than vegetable.
This is the simple explanation of the
fact that in most parts of the world
meat is the food of only the well to do,
while the poor live almost entirely on
vegetable food Thus ordinary people
in Europe eat little meat, and in India
and China they have none at all. 1t Is
hard enough for them to get the nutri-
ment they need in vegetable forms.
Meats they cannot afford. -Professor At
