The Professor became interested IN this
question of Simian speech in 1888. and for
seven years past has given it much study.
In which he has been greatly aided by the
use OF the phonograpb. His idea is that
the Simians have language Of their own.
though their vocabulary IL small. and he
believes that be has made some progress
In mastering II. He states that he goes TO
Africa because tho highest order of the
Anthropoid apes cannot be found in
captivity. HIS special study will be the
gorilla and chimpanzee, and he means TO

which the Simians are expected to gather
and gossip, but into (which they cannot

Professor GAESKB's scheme was ridiculed
O great deal at first. but is now generally
commended by scientists. and all the world
will await with interest the results of his
investigations. He comes of French an

West Virginia.

We announced Yesterday that Mr..
ELKINs had declined TO be candidate for
Governor OF West Virginia at the next
election. Mr.. ELKINs acted wisely in re-
fusing to allow himself TO be used as a
mere dummy candidate. West Virginia is
as true to tie Democratic party as Vir-
ginia, and her vote may even now be set
down as certain for CLEVELAND and STE
vENsoN. Cut off from the mother State by
laws and by railroads and otherwise, the
mountaineers have always turned their
eyes towards old Virginia whenever an
election was drawing nigh. Mr.. ELKIYs is,
in fact, successful fnancier and poll
tician," but not by any means man who
ranks high as a statesman, if indeed he has
any standing as one. He has social quail
ties, however, which render him popular
in West Virginia, whose people would be
pleased to help him along in almost any of
his railroad or other enterprises. but not
in trying to turn that State over to the Re.
publicans. We commend Mr.. ELKISs's ex-
ample in declining barren nomination to
the Peoples party candidates for Office in
Virginia.

The House of Representatives has posi-
lively refused to adopt the amendments oi
the Senate appropriating very large add
tional sums in aid of the Worlds Colum.
bian Exposition.
At this moment IL looks as though this
great enterprise might not get any money
out OF the Federal Treasury, but 1t will.
The faith of the country Is pledged 10
make the fair success worthy Of US. We
have invited foreign nations to send ex.
hibits, and all of the machinery of oul
government has been employed to adyer.
tise the greatness of this proposed exposi-
ton of the resources of the United States
We have gone too far 70 recede; but the
House lie right in demanding that some re
gard shall be paid TO economy. IL is nc
doubt willing TO vote the fair as much as II
actually needs, but, we judge, is deter
mined not 10 pour out of the Treasury any
such sum as $780, 900. The simple ques.
ton between tho two houses is whether
there shall be waste or economy. The
committee of conference will now have &c
pass upon the disagreeing votes of the two
houses.
In the judgment of many well-informed
persons this fair has been projected upon
too big scale. Vastness rather than
thoroughness and excellence has been the
aim of the managers. 1t is now too late Ia
rectify this mistake entirely, but the posi-
ton of the House will make some curtall.
ment in the plans necessary. and that will
probably be for the better.
We say give. or lend, the fair what
money is necessary, but do not counte-
nance any wastefulness.

Cleveland and Stevenson

Mr.. CLEVELAND and General STEvESso,
will reach New York this morning, and to
night will meet the Notification Commit
tee at the Madison-Square Garden. there
to be officially informed of their nomina
ton by the Democratic National Conven
ton as candidates for President and Vice
President.
The ceremonies of the occasion will b'
august, and will attract an immense audi
ence. Although there are seats in tb,
garden hall for 1900 persons anc
standing-room for several thousand more
the demand for tickets of admission has
been so great that the Committee of AT
rangements has been unable to supply hall
of the applicants.
Instead of letters of acceptance
CLEVELAND and STEVENSON will really make
speeches of acceptance" IN which will
be fully set forth their views as TO the Chi.
cago platform and the duty of Democrats
in this campaign. This is new departure
and one that the public approves.
The Democratic candidates are prompter
10 act than the Republican. HARRISON and
REID have not yet been notified" though
they were nominated two weeks in ad.
vance OF CLEVELAND and STEVENSON.

The Field of Politics.

We observe that number of gentlemen
writing TO newspapers exhibit some solici.
tude about the State Committees seeming
inactivity
II is all seeming. Chairman GoRDoN has
been busy every day since he left Chicago.
He has given continued study to the situs.
ton in Virginia. and is in constant com.
munication with well-informed Democrats
in all sections of the State.
There has been no idleness on his part
and no time lost. He will soon announce
the members of the Executive Committee
and open headquarters OF Charlottesville
and put great number of speakers in the
field. We doubt not that he has good
plan OF campaign and that he will call to
bis help the best stumpers that Virginia
can furnish without respect to their ante
nomination preferences.
The discussion of General FTELD's militia
title recalls the New York Commercial al
uoiiser's cruel joke aus Virginians. When
the long list of Governor WALKERS APP
pointees as generals in the militia was pub
iished the Advertiser reproduced 1t in It's
columns. with but one line Of comment
viz:
IAN the rest Of the virsinians were generals
before"
This is the day for the bic meeting at
Hanover Courthouse, when the Democrats
and the Third partyites will gather in
political array and Will discuss the situa-
tion--cslmly and practically, we hope.

The gentlemen who have gotten an
option on the ALLAN lot With the ultimate
purpose of building a hotel thereon should
be encouraged by our cItizens-en-
couraged, we mean. by large subscriptions
of money if their plan is found to be q
feasible one.
We have number of good hotels here,
some uptown and Others downtown but
we believe that it is generally conceded
that Richmond can support another and a
finer one if it Is located upon some
elevated spot, such as that selected by the
gentlemen who have paid down $500 for
an option on the ALLAN lot.
