Criminal Costs.

Nearly all the country papers are
asking for legislation to reduce Grim
inal costs This is one OF the most
serious drains upon the revenue of the
state and it is increasing rapidly from
year to year. One very serious cause
of increasing costs is In the matter of
granting continuances and changes of
venue. Criminal Gases are not disposed
of In a large per cent of cases under q
year, and particularly is this true in
regard to the mere grave offenses
II rarely happens that murder case is
finally disposed Of within a year and
sometimes several years elapse- just
ice is not aided by repeated continu-
ances, and usually snch proceedings

It Is not to be argued that persons
charged with offenses should be denied
all proper means for being acquitted,
but this does not mean that every one
under Indictment shoul1 have as many
|continuances, new trials, ETC., as may
be asked for. Some counties in this
state cannot even pay their criminal
costs and other counties must contrib

The Primitive Americans.

No more spirited controversies have
occupied the scientific mind than those
concerning the earlies inhabitants of
this continent The Spaniards found
the country occupied By tribes varying
in degree of civilization, but maintain
ing the same racial type with singular
uniformity Who were the ancestors
of these peoples The Hebrew word
used for man is from root signifying
red. Was the first man. therefore
red man? Are our Indians descended
ants of the ten lost tribes of Israel?
Or, as according to Plato, did the de-
scendants of Poseidon people Atlantis?
We're records of this Atlantic race pre-
served in the archives of the ancient
Egyptians? Or shall we suppose man
the product. of evolving forces acting
independently in new and old worlds
together? There is too great similar
ity in the result 10 make this probable.
Did man descend upon the American
continent by way of Behring's straits
and the Aleutian islands? This has
long been a favorite hypothesis, bat
from linguistic and geologic evidence
Siberia would seem to have been peo-
pied more recently than America.
It was formerly believed that some
where in Asia" was indisputably the
cradle of the human race. We are new
told this to be impossible Canon Isaac
Taylor holds that the first home of man
was in Europe, while Darwin assigns
the same to Africa In Portugal, Cen
trail Spain and Southern France are the
very oldest proofs of the presence of
man on the earth yet discovered
Leading Americans affirm that the an
cestors of the American race could have
come only from Western Europe, by
means OF land connection between the
northern portions of the two continents.
including Greenland and Iceland-a
connection which cautious geologists
admit to have existed at about the time
of the formation in which human relics
were first recognized.
That man existed on this continent
in great numbers, as contemporary of
the mammoth and other extinct ami
mails. must be conceded, but the period
of his advent remains ground for end
less dispute
Ethnologists now deny any lack of
continuity in race history. any intru-
sive or extinct races. as mound build
ers or cliff dwellers. Man everywhere
goes through the same stages of cul-
ture, but not everywhere at the same
time. The tribes of America were. at
the coming of Columbus. in the second |
stage. that marked by the use of poll |
ished stone. though in Mexico and Peru |
favoring circumstances had inaugural
ed the age of bronze.
The light of recent discoveries makes |
this view of the peopleing of America
most plausible, but it is principle of |
science to defer the joys of certainty |

Presidenf-elect Cleveland believes
and rejoices in the fact that the result
of the election in November was great
Democratic victory, bat he believes
also that it was something more than :
mere party triumph. In both of the
formal speeches which he has made
since the election Mr.. Cleveland has
endeavored to impress upon his hear
ers the fact that the result marked .
political revolution deeper and more
far-reachtng in its possible effects than
any mere change of party administra-
zion at Washington could be.
The fruits of such q victory are to
be looked for in something larger than
the possession of the Offices. The Inn
portant places win no doubt be filed
with competent Democrats without un-
necessary delay. But the Democratic
leaders could not make q greater mis-
take than to suppose that this Is the
most important thing TO be done.
The reforms which the people havo
demanded, and to which the DemOcra-
|cy is pledged. must be carried out.
The relief which the people ask. and
which the Democrats have been prom
ising. must be afforded. The fruits Of
victory are to be sought in the applica-
ton of Democratic principles TO the
conduct of the Government-N T.

The Doubly Oppressed Farmer.

Wheat struck 69t cents in Chicago
within the last week. This IL the
lowest price it has reached since De-
cember. 1884. and only once in the last
quarter of a century has wheat been
lower in any month of the year.
| This lowest price of wheat recorded
but once before in more than twenty
Eve years comes to the farmer under
the highest tariff taxes ON everything
he buys ever levied by the governments
in time of peace; and it clearly teaches
the farmer the studied mockery of pre-
tended tariff protection by increastcd
taxes on grain, wool. etc. With the
highest taxes imposed avowedly to
protect the farmer, his wheat, corn,
wool. etc, now cell close to the lowest
prices ever reached.
Another feature of the Mckinley tar
iff is pointedly illustrated in the present
exceptionally high price of potatoes.
To delude the farmer with the hollow
est mockery Of protection, . tax of IS
cents per bnshel was levied on potatoes.
and now, with the potato crop failure.
our farmers, along with the great mass
of the people. mus. nay 25 cents extra
for every bushel of potatoes they con-
sumo.
The farmers. as a class, receive no
benefit from the tariff taxes on wheat.
corn, oats. hops. barley, potatoes. but
ter, cheese, eggs.or WOOL With the ex-
ception of wool and potatoes we export
vastly more than we import and must
seek foreign markets for our products
while few of like foreign products are
consumed here. Our high taxes ON wool
have lessened the use Of wool in our
so-called WOODEN fabrics, and iessened
demand has lessened the price.
The tariff on potatoes Is .. studied
mockery of protection to the farmer.
When We have an ordinary crop at
home. our importations do not exceed
two per cent of the consumption, and
do not affect the price; but the potato
crop fails about once in i've years.. and
when it fails more than half the farm
ers Of the country are buyers and not
sellers Of potatoes. Instead Of protect-
ing the farmer. the tarin on potasoss

Mr.. Blaine had passed q restless night
and had been pronounced mot so WELL"
even by his cautions physicians. But be-
yond perceptible increase of the languor
which had marked his condition during the
past few days, there was no very alarming
change to be noted. When the nurse re-
turned from her breakfast. however, her
experienced eyes at once saw that the end
was drawing near. Both physicians were
immediately telephoned for. and arrived
within few minutes of each other. The
powerful heart stimulont nitro gly cerinel,
which had several times before brought
the patient back ont of the dark valley of
death was powerless now. Dr.. Hyatt. at

end was at hand.
In the meantime all the family had been
summoned into the death -chamber-Mrs.
Blaine, the devoted wife; Miss Hattie
Blame, his unmarried daughter; Mrs. Dam
rosch, his married daughter; James g.
Blaine, jr.. his only surviving son.
and Miss Dodge (Gail Hamilton),
his cousin. In silent fearful sorrow
they witnessed the closing scenes.
The patient lay SO quietly that even the
doctors were hardly able to soy when he
died. No word of consciousness. no look Of
recognition had passed. AT 1913 he lay SO
still that the window shades were raised to
give more light to enable the physicians to
determine if life still fingered. Fifteen
minutes later they proclaimed him dead.
The news was instantly flashed all over
the world.
Young Mr.. Blaine was in the act of
writing q note to President Harrison to in
form him of the event. when the President
himself arrived, accompanied by his pri-
vate secretary and Secretary of State Fos-
ter. All the rest of the Cabinet quickly
followed and the excitement throughout
the city became general as the news spread.
Both houses of Congress adjourned and the
former associates of the ex-senator and ex-
Speaker of both political parties united In
eloquent tributes 80 his memory.
FUNERAL WILL BE PRIVATE.
A public funeral was suggested. but tho
wishes of the family prevailed, and the
ceremonies will be of private nature.
They will be held at the Presby terIan

ly assumed an aggravated form. From this time,
although there were periods or ap-
parent improvement, he continued TO grow worse
from week to week. The symptoms were, at
first, more directly connected with the kidneys.
and examinations OF the urine showed that
there was a progressive Interstitial change going
on in the organ, and that he had form of
chronic Bright's disease. In December signs of
lung complication appeared which were no
doubt connected with the general disease; but as
tuberele bacilli were found in the sputa it is
probable that there was some tubercular
infection as well. Much OF the distress
which Mr.. Blaine suffered was associated with
this disease of the lungs, and his death was
certainly fastened by 1t. Toward the end of De-
cember the heart began TO show signs of unvsual
weakness from cardiac degeneration and dila-
tion, and Dec. Is he had an alarming attack of
heart exhaustiOn from this he rallied, but Others
sions. From the middle of January these at
tacks ceased and the action OF the heart was
more uniformly good. There was, however,
daily loss of flesh and strength.
For three days before Mr.. Blaine's death there
was no marked change in his condition. Each
day he seemed somewhat more feeble than on
the day before. and on the night before his death
he did not seem to be in any immediate danger.
Towards the morning OF the 9th inst. his pulse
was observed to be very feeble and his breathing

This statement of the physicians will not
be supplemented by an autopsy upon che
body of Mr. Blaine. the members of the
Cabinet being thoroughly satisfied as to
the cause of death. The body Will not be
embalmed for burial, the family Objecting
TO any disturbance of it.
Before the doctors issued their statement
in an interview with reporter Dr.
Hyatt said MI. Blaine's death was due
to sheer exhaustion. DE-. Johnston said:
Throughout his long illness be has been
able to recognize the members of his FAM
lily and physieisns. While he has not con-
versed to any extent, even with his family,
for some time past. he has always been able
to indicate his wants very clearly. To the
questions which have been asked him he
has always replied intelllgently. but in
mOnosy llables." 1t was further ascertaIhed
from the ply sicians that there was nothing
dramatic or sensational IN Mr.. Blaine's last
moments. There was no last word. He
simply faded away.

dependency the sick man replied that be
