they will last many years. Their use
in the protection of early plants will
often many times repay their cost and
make the crop certain.

CARLISLE AND THE BANKS.
Methods Which Would Bring About FL
nancial Panic.

Hancldl fanic.
A dispatch from Washington says
that Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle
has a financial plan outlined in his
mind which will involve the complete
reorganization of the currency system.
1t includes repeal of the law COM
polling the purchase of silver by the
government and will provide for the
deficiency of currency by arranging a
repeal of the state bank tax and an is
sue of currency by banks under state
charters under the general supervision
of the federal government. The Sc
curity for the currency will be pro.
vided for under the laws of the states
requiring the approval of the United
States government
1t is well, we think, to allude to this
as Carlisle's alleged" plan, for there
seems to be no probability of his hav-
ing devised or sanctioned it. 1t is clear
ly opposed to every principle and tenet
of democracy and subversive of the
acknowledged and conceded rights
of the several states. 1t will be re-
membere that the United States has
never attempted to deny to the states
the privilege of establishing banks of
issue. All it has done to prevent such
a thing and to universalize the national
currency is to impose a heavy federal
tax, virtually prohibitive, on such is
sues.
How could congress supervise the
issue of state banks or guarantee the
soundness of their currency? Or if it
could do so legally what would be the
difference between paper money of the
national government and paper money
of the state banks secured and guaran-
teed by the national government? The
only effect in reality would be an
enormous multiplication of national
banks, and that under a system, if sys-
TEN it could be called, much inferior to
the present and existing national bank
system. Under the present law there
is stability and certainty, whatever
may be thought of other features of
national banks; under the alleged Car
Isle plan there would be neither
It may be that Mr.. Carlisle feels him
self bound to live up to the banking
plank of the democratic platform, but
If so he should adopt some other meth
cd than the one outlined, which, if it
were carried out, would certainly re-
suit in confusion, if not in distrust,
followed by financial panic, and posi-
bly, a complete decentralization of banks
and banking interests in the United
States.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Habits and Customs of These Queer People
of the North.
The Esiimos live principally upon
the fish. seal. walrus, whale, reindeer,
and wild birds of their country. Lat
terly, they are learning the use of
-four, which they procure from the
government revenue vessels or barter
from the whalers.
Among the more northern tribes
much of the food is eaten raw. and
nothing is thrown away, no matter how
rotten or offensive it has become.
Some of their choicest delicacies would
be particularly disgusting to us. Hav-
ing at one of the bird rookeries IN the
Arctic gathered a number of eggs, Il
was found that many of them con-
tanned chickens. When about TO throw
them overheard. the native interpreter
demonstrated. saying, mo. Me eat
them. Good"
All classes have a great craving for
tobacco and liquor Even nursing
babes are seen with guilds of tobacco in
their mouths.
During the summer large quantities
of fish are dried, md the oil of the
seal, walrus, and whale put up for win
ter use. The oil is kept in bags made
of the skin of the seal. similar to the
water skins of oriental lands. The oil
is kept sweet by the bags being buried
in the frozen earth until wanted for
use.
Their household utensils are few and
primitive. A few families have secured
iron kettles. Many however still use
grass-woveu baskets and bowls of
wood and stone. Occasionally is found
a jar of burnt clay. In these native
dishes water is boiled by dropping hot
stones into it.-Rev. Sheldon Jackson,
ID. D., in Chautauquan.

Duty OF Railway Engineers.

The statement is made in regard TO
an accident on one of the best known
trains between Chicago and New York
that ''along the river the fog had been
the most dense experienced in years,
.nd it was impossible to see sigma
lights at any distance" This is given
as a species of excuse for the negli-
gence of the engineer running into a
freight train at a cost Of four lives
But ought such a reason be an excuse?
The signals to the engineer are like
the feelers on a lobster; until they tell
him that all is clear he must assume
that there is no danger head. II any
thing prevents the engineer from see
ing them he should stop his train until
be does see them The great railway
companies should make their employees
clearly understand that safety takes
precedence of high speed, and this will
never be the case until il Is an invaria-

place in the compsny's employment
