AGAINST SUBSIDIES.
The Great Democratic Majority Declares
for Honest Methods.


for Honest Methods.
Corruption and extravaganza have
been dealt telling blow in the ma
! tiOnal house of representatives. The
great democratic majority, as it should,
has placed itself fairly and squarely
on the side of honest methods and re-.
trenchment in governmental expenses.
There is something in the very sound
of the words Subsidy" and bounty"
that CRATES upon the ear of most Amer
leans. Even the incessant beating of
tom-toms in praise of this essentially
foreign policy has failed to win over to
its support even the small continge mt
of McKinleyite nominees for congress
which escaped the memorable tidal
wave of November, 1890
Neither Mr.. Harrison nor Mr. Blaine,
both of whom are known as devotees
to the subsidy and bounty heresies, can
find food for comfort in the figures
of the vote on the Holman resolu-
ton opposing the creation of favored
classes of every kind There were re-
corded in its favor two hundred and
twenty-nine votes. while only forty
members-less than half the small
strength of the republican side of the
house-recorded themselves in oppo-
sition.
1t was a notable success for Mr.. Hol-
man and the democratic cause. All
attempts to explain away the lack of
republican opposition must react upon
the heads of the republican leaders in
congress. To seek to minimize the sig
nificance of that paltry vote of forty
is simply to throw the greatest dis
credit upon the party's alertness and
appreciation.
There is great significance in what is
manifest, though silent, revolt in the
republican minority in congress against
those twin relics of autocratic govern
ment, the subsidy and the bounty.
Nowhere will this significance be more
keenly appreciated than at the white
house and in the private Office of the
secretary Of state Boston Globe.

than four months TO the date OF the
Minneapolis convention. Machiavelli
in the state department counts, per-
haps, upon the inevitable reaction in
the public mind against the bravado of
a president looking for denomination.
Just what the relations existing be-
tween the president and Blaine are the
public can only guess. How it is that
a candidate for the presidential noni-
nation owing his seat in the cabinet TO
the favor of the president can remain
there passes ordinary understanding.
Blaine appears to be a perfunctory
officer. The president does not trust
him, yet knowing his popularity with
the republican party seeks to initiate
his methods and plumbers, greatly to
the satisfaction apparently of the sec
rotary, who stands ready to profit by
these blunders.
If Harrison suffers by reason of this
political family condition he has him
self to blame. Knowing full well the
character of Blaine, he gave him chief
place in his cabinet If, having sowed
the wind, he reaps the whirlwind there
need be no sympathy for him. Chicago

Interesting Exercises the San Fran

The cruiser San Francisco lay In the bay
off the Harrison-street wharf last night ard
at about $3.50 o'clock gave a search-ligEt
drill, or exhibition, 1t might be called.
1t was a beautiful sight and the wonder
full power of the lamp illuminated the bay
for miles.
1t was perfect night for the work as the
moon was behind clouds most OF the time
and the air was very clear.
1t seemed like the work OF magic.
There was patch of intangible darkness
in certain spot, and the next moment
houses. trees, ships and railway trains
were visible, seemingly coming out of
nothingness.
The most minute details could be seen
apparently more perfectly than in the day.
time.
When it was turned on Goat Island the
lamp in the lighthouse did not show. but
the buildings were perfect in every detail,
while the assures Ia the rocks and the dead
weeds could be seen distinctly.
couple of boats were sent out 10 dis
tanee from the cruiser and the lamp oper-
ator sent below until they were ready.
When he came on deck he did not know
in which direction they were. but he found
them in less than two minutes.
This part of the work was dazzling, as
the ray Of light was thrown over the bay
from side 10 side in every direction in the
ferry landing to Goat Island almost in
simultaneously, and an instant later brought
the oil works into view.
The object Of the drill Is to be sure that
the machine Is in order aud TO keep the men
familiar with Its workings.

INDIAN ANTIQUITIES.
Msjor Powell Lectures on Our Early Pre-

Msjor Powell Lectures on Our Early Pro-
sebitors.
Major Powell, the famous head of the
United States geological survey. spoke be-
fore the Academy OF Sciences last night on
the subject of "Indian Antiquities" An un-
usually large audience was out to hear the
major, and listened with appreciation to the
lecture.
The speaker is thoroughly familiar with
his subject and spoke for nearly two hours
without notes.
He spoke of the Indian language and Its
sixty stocks, and showed that race relation
ship could never be traced through the arts
as they always depended upon the materials
at hand. He said superiority of age was
the sole recommendation to 0ffice-here they
differ from their descendants. Personal
property, in those cid days, was always
lawsuits and auarrels among the heirs. A
beautiful and fantastic mythology was WOW
en- about the ancient original animals that
Inhabited the country.
They were objects of veneratlon to the
Indians.
In speaking Of the fake medical practi-
TONERS who nailed up their shingles
on the murmuring pines and the hem
locks, the major cited a case that would
serve to illustrate their duplcity and which
had occurred under his personal obserya-
ton.
An Indian had been seized with myste-
ri0us agony and sent post haste for the
doctor. II was q tough case, but foriu-
nately not beyond the physicians skill
With mastery hand he forced the spirit
TO decamp via the patients head, then hold
ing it carefully in his hand he bore it to The
fire and buried it deep in the ashes. The
majors curiosity was Mt once exercised as
to what the spirit might be like, so he sent
his men to raise great racket outside of
the tent, and when the Indians ran out to
see what it meant, he ran over to the ashes
and raked out-a little shell! "Thus you
can see," observed the major, "that our
medical quacks have an ancient and distin-
guished lineage"
