Education Criminal.

The Russian Government forbids any
one possessed of a superior education oc-
cupying any post which brings him into
direct communication with the people.
During a certain period. when the Rus.
sian revolutionary party reckoned upon
a mass rising of the peasantry and wished
to hasten this rising by propaganda,
several young people having spent from
four to five years in the higher studies,
left the universities without passing the
final exams or taking their diplomas, in
order not to be considered as having
more than an average education, and SO
beng enabled to obtain employment in
the villages.
This s'fraud," which consisted in re-
nouncing not only all hopes of a profes:
sional career, but also the pleasures of
living in a cultured and intelligent So
ciety or enjoying good books, ETC., con-
stitutes in The eyes of the police strong
aggrsvation of the s'crimes'' discovered
OF even suspeoted.-IThs Idlgs.

The Spanish Onion.

The largo and handsome Spanish
onions, which have been coming to this
city in increasing quantities for the past.
half-d years, are now cheaper thin
thew have ever been known here. These
vegetables are grown mainl y near Val' n
cha, in Spain, and the first shipments
this year, which came by the way Of En-
gland, were harvested too early and were
therefore watery. Being liable to qui k
decay, they were hurried upon the mar
ket and sold for low prices. The first
direct importation was also oif-grade IN
quality, and this set the price for the
season very low, so that in MANY auction
sales the price has barely covered the
freight and duty, to say nothing OF the
commissions and cost of packing. Tie
duty of 40 cents on bushel of tlfty-slx
pounds, together with the freight, com.
mission, and cost abroad, brings the
actual value to ne importer about 80
cents crate laid down, aid, therefore,
when prices range from SIS cents to 81 u
crate. the trade has been a disastrous
one. Together with what has already
arrived and what is expected, the inn
ports tnlS year Will aEHouht W loo uoU
crates or about 81 500 bushels. Attempts
to raise this Spanish onion in California
and other parts of the country from seed
purchased in Spain have generally
proved unsuccessful, as the vegetables
when grown here do not differ much
from the ordinary domestic onion. 1t
seems that Castilian climate and soil
arc necessary for the. production of this
delightful product. For this reason,
and also because these bulbs do not come
into conflict with home vegetables, a
strong effort is now on foot to have the
duty decreased to a more reasonable
rate. [Garden and Forest.

Spider Showers.

Spider showers are worthy of mention.
The spiders are gossamcrs, and all those
who have read Whites "Natural History
of Selborne' will call to mind his descrlp-
ton of the showers he observed. One OF
these, he tells ns, continued for nearly
whole dav, and the go>samers descended
from \ surprising height, for when one
gentleman assembled hill near at hand,
some 80 feet high, he found that the
spiders were dropping from region IN
the atmosphere that was still beyond the
reach of lis gaze.
DR., Martin Lister named this aerial
s,ider 1.-THE Bird" from the facility with
which it can traverse the air, and upon
one occasion, when he observed a shower
of them at York, lie assembled to the top
of the munster and found that even at
that altitude he was still below their
level--tl4at thy were descending from
some re- on above that standpoint.
Darwin, another observer OF SPIDER
showers. describes one which he saw IN
1892 when on board the Pc gle, at the
mouth of the La Plata River, when the
vessel was some sixty miles from land,
and he seems to have been the first to
notice that each parachute of gossamer
carried spider aeronaut, for he not only
observed them arrive on board the ship,
but he also saw them produce new para
chute and on the frai ba'k launch forth
again ION the bosom of the palpltatlng
air"
These goesamer showers are great mys'
teries, aud, once seen. cannot very readl-
y he forgotten, tor the air on csc &C.
casions becomes literally crowded with
the tiny parachutes mentioned, which are
comnosed Of few threads of almost m
visible yossamer. with small but lively
spider attached. This may be regarded
as the most beautiful thing in strange
showers.-[Chambers's Journal.

The TARlFF BILL.
A Moderate Income Tax Bill Now Pro-
posed.


posed.
WASHINGTON, Nov 25--The Democratic
members of the ways and means ommit-
tee are experiencing much difficulty in
their endeaYors to complete the new tariff
bill and have it ready for submission to
their Republican colleagues Mt the meet
ing of the full committee on Monday next.
There is still considerable difference of
opinion in the committee upon certain
items of the bill and at this stage the de-
tails of the internal revenue schedule and
the income tax provisions are yet incom-
plete and somewhat indefinite. Indeed,
strong influence has been brought to bear
within the last forty-eight hours to in
duce the committee to abandon altogether
the income tax provision; but the position
of Messrs. Mcmillan, Bryan, Whiting and
others has been so resolute in favor Of this
policy that it appears impossible for the
committee to abandon the income tax
fully without hopelessly dividing the
Democratic party. Such action on the
part of the committee would result in a
minority report being presented to tho
house.
1t seems probable, however, that the in
come tax provision will not be of that
sweeping character that was at first con-
templated The present plans are to i'm
pose a tax on legacies, on the income Of
large corporations, on the income of real
estate and other property in this country
owned or controlled by aliens, as well as
to require the stamping of certain docu-
ments and special license of certain
classes of business
No changes of Importance are contem-
plated in the internal revenue tax on to-
bacco or beer, though it is probable there
will be slight increase of the whisky

nit motion. The president began to
make an explanation of this incident amid
great excitement. the extreme left mem
bers, i'll the meantime, denouncing the
ministers.
The minister of finance, Signor Gri-
maldi, warmly defended himself against
the attacks of the extreme left, declaring
that he was an honest man and as solicit
tous of public morals as his opponents.
He was loudly applauded.
Premier Giolitti, before making the
ministerial declaration, declared that he
wished to state in his own name and in
the names of his colleagues that they
wished to resume their seats in the chanf-
berof deputies in order to have full lib
erty of speech. His remarks caused much
excitement, especially among the mem
bcrs of the extreme left When the noise
had somewhat subsidized he announced the
resignation of the cabinet.
After the dispatch of current business n
motion to adjourn was made, The ex-
tremc left members, especially Signor
1mbriani, strongly denounced Premier
Giolitti, who warmly retorted. Signor
lmbriani shouted: you have fallen in
the mud"
To this remark Premier Giolitti replied:
whatever efforts you may make you will
not even succeed in splushng mud upon
! my boots"
| This exchange OF words caused renewed
excitement in the chamber, during which
some very heated remarks were made by
the extreme left, and warm replies came
from the supporters of tse government.
When order had been N4tored the presi-
dent of the chamber called for a vote upon
the motion to adjourn, which was unan-
monsly approved, with the exception of
the members of the left. The sitting closed

FINANCE AND TRADE


Consumption increases Slowly, While
Trade Waits for Industrial Revival.
New York, Nov. 25.-R, G. Dun s. Co. g
weekly review Of trade says Consumption
increases slowly, and all branches of busi-
ness are waiting for its growth Trade
waits for the revival Of industries, and the
weeks returns respecting industrial pro-
gress are rather conflicting. There has
been heavy sale of cotton goods Mt very
satisfactory prices, and the market has
decidedly strengthened in consequence.
In woolens there is n substantial Increase
In the demand, notwithstanding the fact
that several mills, each having orders for
athousand pieces or more, have closed, the
orders being not so assorted as TO give
profitable employment In the manufact-
ure of boots and shoes the demand en-
ploys an increasing number of factories.
By new compact of the steel rail pro-
ducers the Pennsylvania and the Mary
lands works have been leased to others in
order to keep hem idle. This has checked
the increase in purchases of ore and coal
and other materials, and tho Pttsburg
manufacturers are playing havoc with
eastern markets, though the prices made
in that region are so low that their CON
tinuance cannot be predicted, There is
considerable increase in the number of
concerns in operation, but there does not
appear to be much gain in the actual CON
sumption of pig iron, and prices are as low
Us ever.

The PRESIDENT SERENE.
Hawaii Evidently Does Not Worry ths
Chief Magistrate.

wAsuIHaToS. Nov. 20. If President
ClercInnd is disturbed over the Hawaiian
Situation he did not show il yesterday.
AT thd close of long cabinet meeting
Secretary Lamont remained with him for
some time. Then Secretary Gresham
called and remained a short time. After
his departure the President and Mrs.
Cleveland came down stairs and entered
n carriage to enjoy drive. The president
look cd healthy and robust His smile to
those about the White House door indi-
Gated that there was nothing that had
been reported from the Pacific or any
other place that disturbed him in the
least
There has been general belief that the
president would discuss the Hawaiian
question in his message, and more inter
est than ever has been manifested in tho
document on this account. No news can
be expected from Hawaii until after tho
me-sge is sent to congress, and it was
Thought that in Discussing the matter the
president would necessarily refer to the
instructions that had been given Minister
Willis, and inform congress OF what lie
expected had taken place in the islands in
view Of the instructions.
| Built is stated at the White House that
this matter can easily he avoided by an
allusipn to the Hawaiian affair in the
! regular message, with the statement that
1t viii be treated in a special message on
the subject to be submitted when further
and expected information has been re-
ceived This being the case, those who
are awaiting n statement of the direct
| policy of the administration, further than
/ which has been officially announced in
the letter of Secretary Gresham to the
president, will he disappointed.
1t has been stated several times at the
state department that the administration
desired that the news of the Hawaiian
policy should come out from tho other end
of tho line That being the case it is very
! likely that the president would pass over
| the affair until he had received more def
mite Information AS to what had been done.

THERE WILL BE BLOODSHED.


NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The World pub
fishes letter from Honolulu, brought by
the steamer Australia, which arrived in
San Francisco on the 18th inst. 1t was
written by Beverly Thomas, who has been
resident of Hawaii for number of
yearss toa friend living in New York.
Mr. Thomas has lived in Honolulu over
eight years and is conyerSant with the
Hawaiian political situation.
Minister Willis has just arrived and
presented his credentials to President
Dole, All sorts of rumOrs ARE afloat. One
is That Willis is going to assist Liliuoka-
lani 10 regain her throne What lent
cOlor|to this runor was the landing of
marines from the mnn-of-war Philadei-
phin and n number Of boats of that war
ship, filed with men, all of whom were
heavily armed, were kept in the water all
of one night. At daybreak those boats
weretaken back on board the Philadel-
phia. No one can tell what was the mean
ing Of this movement,
"I,tt me tell you that If any attempt is
made to replace the queen on the throne
there will be bloodshcd. We have now
citizens guard numbering nearly 800 men,
and this guard will fight 10 the last to up
hold tho new government. We are now
enjoying freedom aud comparative safety,
and if the United States will only annex
us and if ii won't do so keep its hands of,
then we will become prosperous. Before
the provisional government was formed
we were like lot of slaves, afraid to open
our mouths
