Who Buys This Fertilizer2

This extraordinary despatch appeared In
tho Nen York Times on Sunday:
"Pitpais NEcRAs. Mexico. July s.-Among the large
shipments OF bones from Mexico to che Omitted states
recently made for fertiiizine aud sugsrtennng pur'
poses ten loads OF hunan bones said to have
boon obtained from ancient mounds in southern Mex
leo but probably gathered from various old and
abandoned cemeteries
AS these bones fragments from different ske!e'
tons, $4,000 individuals are represented In the lott
Mummfed cats from the ancient tombs
Of Egypt we're imported into England In
large numbers some years ago, and were
utilized as fertilizing material on British
farms; but we do not recall any instance
In which people pretending to be civilized
have employed tho remains Of human beings
to enrich the soil for agricultural purposes.
The scheme may be strictly scientific, but
1t is not pleasing to the imagination
1t strikes us that the several States OF the
Union which are 80 careful to pass laws to
prevent their citizens from being harmed
by oleomargarine. might well keep an eye
on this new Mexican fertilizer.

Tho Escape of tho Worlds Fair.

The building within the Worlds Fair
grounds at Chicago. which was destroyed
By FIRE on Monday. did not differ materially
In structure from n majority OF tho vast
ediflces which the reporters have christened
the White City.
It was narrow escape. Had the wind
been from another quarter. 1t would not
have taken more than IN hour to obliter-
ate every building in jackson Park. The
Transportation building, the horticultural.
the Mining. the Agricultural the Admins
tration. the Manufactures and Liberal Arts.
the Women's. even the Art Gallery, to say
nothing OF the interminabe quantity Of
intermediate fuel. all would have gone.
Never were structures more inflammable
than are those at the Worlds Fair. They
are OF wood. so disposed that it offers the
least conceivable resistance to combustion.
and presents maximum OF resistance to
all ordinary methods Of extinguishing fire.
It Is true that. considered as wooden
structures. the improbability OF a fire
starting Is very great: but it is incontesta-
BILE that once we'll started. a fire could only
be put out by the process Of self-exhaus-
ton. It would go out when everything
was burned up.
We hope the warning will not be I'M
needed; and that. excellent as the Fire
Department OF the Fair undoubtedly is. it
will be made still better in view OF the APP
palling object lesson Of Mondays disaster.

MoRRIs had satisfactory reasons for setting
up the alcoholic rule here quoted. We sup-
pose that tho usefulness OF the rule has been
tested. that experiments have been made
under 1t. and that 1t has the approval OF tho
medical faculty, the Board OF Health. DR..
CYRUS EDISON. and the summer corps OF in
spectors. We must infer that they have more
knowledge about the subject than even BID
WELL, the Prohibitionist candidate, or NEAL
Dow. or our estimable fellow citizen DEMoREsT.
or the most fiery teetotal orator who ever In
famed the soul OF any mass Meeting.
1t seems to us that these things are deserv-
Ing Of the consideration OF those OF our citizens
who are preparing to hurl tho thunderbolts at
DR.. MoRRIs's head.

The Silver States.

The silver party Is more strongly repre-
sented in the United States Senate than in
the House OF Representatives,. though
the true reason OF the fact Is not clear to
everybody. When. in 1890. the Republicans
admitted the six Northwestern States.
which were to keep the Republican party
secure in control Of the Senate for many
years to come, though the Democrats might
gain control OF the Presidency and
elect a majority OF the House OF
Representatives. they overshot the mark
and brought upon themselves double dis
aster. They helped to build up. by their
summary and precipitate admission Of
these States. new party in the Northwest.
which carried two Of them against Mr..
HARRISON. and cost the Republicans Kan
sas. Colorado. and Nevada. till then Sc
cure in the Republican column.
The seven silver-producing States are
Colorado. Idaho. Montana. Nevada. Oregon.
Washington. and South Dakota. They cast
at the late election. collectively, 4O4.992
votes. If to them We add the votes Of
North Dakota and Wyoming. 1884 in all,
governed by similar political conditions
and sympathizing with the nelghboring
pro-silver States. We have q total Of 457.sl6.
Tho Senate Ia composed Of eighty-eight
members. The total vote Of the people at
the late election numbered 12.O6s.5 1906.
We're the basis OF representation identi-
cal In each State, each Senator would
stand for $4,000 votes. But these nine
States. instead of having only four Sem
ators.. as their population might JUS
tify. actually have eighteen: and it Is on
account Of this undue representation. for
which the Republicans are directly &C.
countable. that the silver men are so strong

Republicans and Silver Democrats Making
Arrangements to Beat the Administration.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE extreme to which
Mr.. Cleveland has carried his schemes for
dominating Congress- may react upon the Ad-
ministration. Ordinarily the Presidents nomi-
nations are confirmed. but the point was
reached some time ago where the enemies he
has made in making appointing nts. as well as
In refusing to make them. were moved to cast
around for some common ground on which
Democrats and Republicans could stand in
lighting the Administration. The engineers
OF this opposition think they have found the
ground. Reasons for occupying 1t may not
agree. but they will all make to the same end,
namely. the rebuke OF the Preside nt for 'prosti-
tuting his Office" in the language Of Demo-
cratic Senator In making appointments. most
OF which are yet to be acted on. Tho PROPOSE
ton Is not to confirm them In a great many
cases Republicans will have their own reason.
and Democrats their own also. not the same.
but equally effective Appointments have been
made upon which the Senate will be called to
act that In no event should be confirmed.
There are other cases in which Republicans
will have Independent reasons for opposing.
and Democrats will vote with them for rea-
sons OF totally different character-reasons
which Mr.. Cleveland himself has created-and
In this way the great measure Of tho Admins
tration. the coercion Of Congress. may be met
by an overwhelming veto by the Senate.
This. briefly. is the scheme OF retaliation on
the Administration. Any one can see that
while Mr.. Cleveland idles away the time his
opponents are active. 1t is also obvious that
the Administration has no one in either branch
OF Congress. who can be called great leader.
to evoke the power which. under other condi-
tons. might be called forth to save the Admin
istration's policy. The Senate is going to be
the baltic ground. and there Mr.. Cleveland
will win or lose. The opposition 10 in the
