Are Americans Clever

There is no surer test of original
minds and their aSsiduous culture
than this one-inventive genius. 1t
bespeaks the best use OF all divine
gifts, and is the fruit of an advanced
civilization.
Well, America has never had any
cause to be ashamed of her contribu-
ton to the progress of the world, and
the year 81 would have effectually
abolished it if she had. During that
time patents have been obtained in
the United States at the rate of nearly
two thousand a month, making a
total of twenty-three thousand two
hundred and forty-four the year.
This phenomenal number repre-
sents an amount of technical skill,
patient investigation and constant
labor of which the figures themselves
give only the faintest idea. Ihey
are indeed d triumph; but it has been
purchased by weary struggles OF ooth
hand and brain.
Granted that some among these
patents are useless, Others unimpor-
tant and a third class impraeticable,
it still remains that they contains
germs:ofdevelopment and possibilities
of advance which will out-rival the
grandest dreams of the most enthusl-
astic of optimists.
The high place of this country In
the distant past is exceeded by last
years UNPARALLELED record. Franklin's
electric kite and Fulton's steamboat
trip to Albany effectually solved the
problem of internal communication
across our vast possessions. Necessity
is a stern but prolific mother, and she
early taught our for%efathers the les
son that "they must conquer nature
by obeying natures powers" For
where one mar did the work of three
and help was inaccessible, he made
his brains do duty for the absent two,
and wrested some of natures secrets
from her.
But the latter-day glory of achieve,
ment has o'ershadowed them; fol
now we have not only quantity but
also quality. Edison has no rival
He has seized the most mysterious OF
forces, electricity, and subdued it to

SRoRI TARIFF LESSONS.

A single passage in MIR. MoMmLIN's re-
cent speech in Congress on the wool and
wooden bill epitomizes forcibly the situation
in which the laboring man has been placed
by the MCKINLEY tariff. He said:
The laborer has been forced to pay more for
the roof that shelters him, for the hat that COW
ers his head and the woolens that cover his
back. He has had to pay more for the linen he
wears, the hammer and hoe with which he
works Yet his wages have not gone up one
cent What benefit has Increased protection
been to him?
The HERALD has in the past few days
given some striking Illustrations of how
the present tariff affects various articles of
constant use, ss shown in the account kept
by large New York house. The examples
are almost inaumerable. Common tum-
blers had their retail price advanced since
September, 1890, as much as u per cent. {;
jell tum blers, 10 per cent; white lamp
shades, Is per cent; bowls, IS per cent. :;
preserve dishes, from ia 20 per cent. ::
two-quart pitchers, IA per cent; coffee
cups and saucers, from to IL per cent
Common window glass had its price ad :
vanced per box from S1.62 to 81 %; ground
glass per 100 feet, from 1915 to $3.50;
green house and farmers, double seconds,
from 20 to $3.50. The effect of these in
creases of prices, due to the MCKINLEY
act, has been estimated for Massachusetts.
That state has paid, it is estimated, al
ready 100000 of increased taxes since
September, $50. Other states have suf-
fered in proportion.

Now THAT Secretary Eos TER has re-
turned, perhaps he may give some atten.
ton to the Congressional resolution of in
quiry, passed before he went abroad, in re-
gard to the use of the Sl00, 600, 0CO reserved
gold fund. The law in regard to it was en-
acted in 1882, and provides that the secre-
tary of the treasury shall suspend theissue
of gold certificates whenever the amount of
gold coin and bullion reserved for the re-
demption OF United States notes falls be
low Sl0O, 1000, COO. The secretary holds that
this reserved fund can be used by him in
payment OF the current expenses of the gov
ernment, but some of the best lawyers differ
from Secretary FOSTER, maiutain1n that
the fluid cannot be touched for any other
purpose than tire one declared in the act.
These latter are said to be upheld by Sena-
tor SHERMAN, who says the secretary of
the treasury has no more right to use it
than to use the bank of England. Which
ever view may be correct, it is important
there should be judicial construction of
the statute by the legal advisors of Con-
gress, and to this end the early reply to the
inquiry made of Secretary FOSTER is desir-
able.

could pot help rejecting how infinitely

confuse the present political problems Of

ligious prohlemsl If the former is unwise
and ungenerous, the latter is Infamous;
if the former is unfair to a people
inhabiting powerful states that once have
been in open and armed rebellion against

when practiced against people who have
never been in rebellion, and whose weak
ness should strongly plead for fair and geD-

warped by prejudice or so determined in

that they would have the nation confound

COLUMBUS AS A JAILBIRD.

If the quadricentennial celebration of the

tlnguished navigator of rather shady ma
ture, we may have the consolation that it
Is the event, and not the man, we are cele-
brating. In speech before the Senate
committee in Washington the other day one
OF the Worlds fair represen tatves brought
TO light the circumstance that this Mr.. CO.
LUMBUs was once arrested in Genoa for
debt. The desirability was being urged of
bringing from Spain and Italy number OF
Columbian relics, and then it was it ap-
peared that our consul at Genoa MIR.
FLETCHER, had lately dug out of the arch
ives OF that town the scandalous and dis
graceful fact above mentioned. After
CHRIS. had discovered America and made
ms report in writing to ISABELLA, he re-
turned to Genoa and adopted the drum ma
Jor strut in his walks about town. Whilst
lndulging in this pompous exercise one
day, an old but somewhat impecunous
friend met him, took him aside and got him
to go on his note for $40, COLUMBUS
disltking to inform him ne was
dead broke himself. They proba-
bly, adjourned to the Trausoceanic
and INDUCED in social glass of Madeira,
COLUMBUS coming out, putting tremen-
dous quid of pig-twist in his jaw. In due
course the note matured, as notes will, and
as the maker had disappeared the paper
went to protest and the bank sued the
lndorser. Here was pickle for the only
original and genuine discoverer of America
In those days, as the reader will remember,
imprisonment for debt was not an uncom-
mon thing in Genoa, and as COLUMBUS
didn't have nickel they called the hoodlum
wagon and hustled him off to the calaboose
The records Consul FLETCHER has exca-
waited show the various steps of the con-
stable demanding payment, issuing the
warrant and commitment behind the bars
Finally some rich old chevalier seeing the
Item In the papers, paid off the debt and let
the bond go free. After all, it may not
have been so disgraceful to be poor and in
debt at that time, for this was 400 years
ago; but the facts related certainly show
that CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS was not a
man to make good use of his opportunities
to save up enough TO keep out of Jail.
