President Cleveland's message to
Congress is unusually long, but the
number and Importance Of the sub
jects with which il deals made ii
necessary that il should be. Like
all Of his utterances it is straight
forward and TO the point and is an
able presentation Of Democratic
policy. Tariff reform, as embodied
in the Wilson bill, is commended in
language that carries conviction,
and Congress is earnestly urged to
pass the bill at the earliest possible
moment in order that the business
OF the country may be adjusted to
the new conditions.
Apparently the opening of the
regular session of Congress finds
the Democrats in much better con-
dition than did the opening Of the
extra session. A few Democrats
representing districts that may be
temporarily injured by some OF the
proposed tariff changes are dissat-
isfied with the Wilson bill, but as a
rule the Democrats take the same
view of the bill that was SO aptly
expressed by Representative Tars-
ney of Missouri, who is a member
Of the ways and means committee:
ut is not simply revision of the
tariff-it is a reform of the tariff.
Time will develop that it contains
no element of prejudice or animos-
ity against any particular industry
or attack upon the manufacturing
industries. On the contrary, it is
intended and will speedily result in
the rapid growth, development and
expansion Of our industries upon
broad national basis, and not upon
a narrow basis of selfish, personal,
local or sectional interests. While
taking away from the manufacturer
much of the so-called protection
found in the schedule Of rates on
manufactured products, by giving
him untaxed raw material essential
in his manufactures, we leave to
him all that should be required to
enable him to compete with the
world in the disposition Of his
products.

Tho Power OF Water.

"a Southern Engineer" contributes q
valuable article on Geology aud the
Mississippi Problem" to the Engineering
hagazins. In 1t he says:
We find in wator the only sirelesa
agent that works in the modification of
continents; aud instead Of being the
great renovator of the land, as it 10 pop.
ularly conceived, it is tho great de-
ntroyer. Tho destruction of ancient
Nome has been attributed to time. But
1t was duo simply to the moisture of the
atmosphere working through chemical
agencies. 1t was water, invisible but
penetrating even the worry stones of the
wonderful city, that caused her to
crumble to ruins, and gave to modern
Rene grade greatly elevated above her
ancient grade. But It works not alone
In the cities aud towns. There Is not
hill on earth that has not been ehorn of
some OF Its altitude by this subtle force,
and there 10 not mountain on earth, II
not fitfully renewed by volcanic action,
that has not been compelled to lower its
peak before this universal leveler OF tho
exalted. It may be dreadful thought,
indeed, but we do not know absolutely
that we are not dependent on the earth
quake and the volcano for keeping our
continental habitat above tho level OF
the ocean; for water not only destroys,
but 1t has the presidency and force to
carry off to its burial place in the sen all
that 1t has caused to perish. 1t may
take long time at its task bat working
either In its gaseous, its liquid, or its
solid form, it seems to be the most per-
eistent thing on earth, never perishing,
and, however divided and invisible at
times, always ready to unite its forces
for supreme effort ct the degradation
OF continent.
