About Emin Pasha.

Poor Emin Pasha! A cable report now
has him not only dead, but eaten. This
report, however, will not be readily &C
cepted. 1t is easy enough to believe
Emin dead; Stanley and the daily papers
have worked us up to a willingness to be-
lieve him several times dead, Unnecessary.
But to believe him eaten is quite another
thing.
People who know some things about
cannibals-not by experience, however
tell US that they are rather choice about
subjects for a banquet. They seek
tender. juicy missionaries, traders, etc,
and shun the old and tough. They
further tell US that the salt and tobacco
used by civilized man units his flesh for
consumption; hence the inveterate to-
bacco consumer is almost exempt from
being levied upon to replenish the canni-
balls larder.
Now, from what is known of Emin, he
was one of the toughest old scientists,
from Il bill of fare point of view, that ever
trod shoe leather He was old, tanned
by sun and rain, saturated with tobacco.
and so thin that when he fell out of a
second story window at Zanzibar a year
or so ago his weight was not sufficient to
break bone 1t is doubtful if he has
ever been in 'lkilling order, as. they say
in Chicago since he left the schools and
beer mugs of Germany years and years
ago. As a roast, Emin would have been
failure; as a stew he would have been
worse, because of the tobacco; and as a
lan
enough to raise a bead upon the broth.
For these and other reasons, the theory
that Emin was the center piece at an
Arab feast must fail of ready acceptance.
Besides it is more pleasant to believe
with DR. Peters, that the famous old ex-
plorer is alive and we'll

History OF the sherman Silver Law.
. 10 Senator Jones 81 Nevada, is credited
the statement tnAt the history of the
+ sherman silver law has never been pub
leIy told senator sherman and other
republican leaders have said iu their pub
. lie utterauces that the bin authorizing
. the purchase Of 3 10000 ounces of silver
per month was accepted % prevent the
. passage of free silver coinage bill The
sherman silver law is republican meas
ure, and the republicans ought to know
why they enacted it.
Senator Jones, who is a republican, is
/ quoted as saying that the reason the re
! publicaus passed il is that the silver men
| declared they would attach free silver
coinage amendment 10 the Mckinley tar
ii bill and thus Kill the Mckinley bill UNI
less the republicans consented to the pass
age Of the bin authorizing the purchase
of silver
il would not be at all surprising if Sen
| ator Jones is quoted correctly. If he is,
the republicans are placed in the unenvia-
bic position of conserving to law they
believed was bad one in order to get
through congress a bill that strengthened
the monopoly features Of the protective
system. They were willing that the people
should be exposed to almost incalculable
losses for the benefit of certain protected
interests that contribute largely TO the
campaign funds of their party.
If this story that is credited to Sena-
tor Jones is not true, the Senator
should deny it at once. 1t is calcula-
ted to do the Republican party a great
deal of harm. because it shows that party
to be ready to strike d blow at The great
est interests of the whole people if by
that means it can secure the adoption of
its policy of protection
Assuming that the story is true the
question whether the Republican party is
a party that can be safely trusted natu-
rally arises. 1t has always claimed that
its chief object is to promote the best in
terests of all classes Of the people but if
it forced the Sherman silver law upon the
country, believing it to be bad law,
simply to get a majority for the iniquitous
Mckinley tariff it should never again re
ceive the support of the people.

A Hopeful Outlook.

The Financial Chronicle takes issue
with a senator who said recently that it
would take this country at least three
years to recover from the present depres-
sion, and predicts that it would. under
certain circumstances, return to its nor
nal condition within six months.
The existing state of business affairs,
the Chronicle asserts, is the direct result
Of the siIver-purchase law. The effect of
this law has been to destroy confidence in
Europe in the stability Of our currency.
and hence in the stability of American
values, to stop the flow of foreign capital
into the United States, to lead to a with
drawal of foreign capital to infect the
American people with the same lack of
confidence, which, in turn led to the
boarding of gold and currency by banks.
trust companies and individuals. As a
result of tins loss of confidence and hoard
ing of money, business transactions
became impossible and commerce was
nearly at a standstill.
The bright prospect for the repeal of
the trouble-making silver law has during
the past week or so, had the effect of
greatly relieving business, and of entirely
destroying the premium on currency, as
reported in the MORNING News dis
patches yesterday Let the Senate fol-
low the action of the House and wipe out
the law Internationally, and the Chroni-
Gle predicts, before the first month has
expired our banks will almost be in a
normal state and not long after we have
celebrated the beginning of the New
Year the country will be so prosperous
that the senator will be sorry he ever
made such lugubrious prophecy"

An incident illustrating how much at
tention is paid in the Senate to the man
with the greatest beard in the Populist
party-and it is conceded that populistic
ability and boards run together occurred
Monday afternoon. Senator PETER arose
and cleared his throat At the sound

ness that demanded their presence in the
cloak rooms. The few remaining at their
desks were writing letters Senator
PETER buttoned his frock coat. addressed
the chair and SAILED in" Five minutes
later Senator Mcpherson, of New Jersey.
looked up from his writing and around
the chamber The presiding officer
caught his eye. Senator Mcpherson was
ashamed to return at once to his pen. so
he interrupted the speaker and very i'm
pressively asked the chair: II would
like to know whether the senator from
Kansas offers this amendment as dila-
tory measure or whether he is in earn
est" PETER was amazed He smiled
weakly and replied: IF the senator
from New Jersey had displayed his usual
alertness he would have known that
was speaking to the pending amendment"
Gov, Tillman treated the convicts at
Columbia real mean. When he was in
doubt as to whether or not certain pro
prietary nostrum was a patent medicine
or merely a substitute for whisky. he
made a number of the COnyicts swig bot
ties of it in order that the effect upon
them might be noted. If they got VIC
lently sick it,would prove the stuff to be
medicines ii they got moderately drunk
it would prove that the stuff was whisky
in disguise. But when the governors
doubts were aroused with regard to rice
beer, not a bottle did he send down To
the convicts. Why they could not have
analysed rice beer as well as root nit
tiers is not apparent. But the beer was
sent to the state chemist.
President Wayland, of the American
Social Science Association, thinks com
pulsory arbitration is the proper remedy
to be applied to all labor troubles. In
civil courts, he says, judges and jurors ar
bitrate between men who have a differ
ence, and the arbitrament carries with it
INC "SINuV VI duInoI4IS' we may now
persuade employers and employees to ar
bitrate their differences; but advice is
not authority, influence is not govern
ment; there is need of authority"
What is wanted is not so much govern
ment, not so much authority, but more
individual liberty and personal indie
pendeRce.
Perhaps Mr.. Blair, of educational bill
fame, will now take back seat, seeing
that PETER has out-Blaired him in a ma
tional school scheme that would require a
billion dollars or more to put it into oper-
alton. PETERS schemes, by the way, are
positively awe-inspiring in their magni-
tude. Possibly that is why his constitu-
ents think him such great man.

Within the last seven or eight days
there has been a noticeable advance in
the price of cotton. Two things have con
tributed to bring about this gratifying
condition of affairs One is the feeling of
certainty that the Sherman silver law
will be repealed and the other is the re
ports from the cotton belt indicating that
a large crop need not be counted on
AS long as it was doubtful whether
money could be obtained in sufficient
quantity to move the crop the cotton mar
ket was depressed. Buyers were indifer-
ent, and, besides, the premium on cur
rency had to be charged up against
cotton. As soon as it became reasonably
certain that the Sherman silver law
would be repealed there were liberal
offerings of money for moving cotton and
and there was at once a healthier tone in
the cotton market.
The reports from the different cotton
states as to the condition of the cotton crop
are not encouraging to those who are
talking about a large crop. The reports
from the different sections OF this state,
for instance, as presented in the weekly
review of the weather bureau of Atlanta,
show that rust, drought and storms have
damaged the cotton greatly.
1t is true that damage to the crop is
frequently overestimated. Still, there is
ground for saying that from present
signs the crop will not be a big one. If
the signs of a short crop continue to null
tiDly and there iS no further. et,,iucranc,-
in the money market the planters stand
fair chance of getting good prices for
their cotton.
