THE VICTIMS Of INCAPAC1rY.

1t has been the claim of the free
traders for years that the tariff policy
of the Republican party was shutting
our products out Of the markets of the
world. and that we could not obtain
better conditions until We took the ini-
tiative by abolishing our protective du-
ties. Mr.. Bynum was so impressed with
the soundness of this theory that when
the representatives of the Winter Wheat
Millers' Association appeared before the
ways and means committee to urge the
retention Of the reciprocal trade ar,
rangements with Cuba and South Ameri-
can peoples he told them that it was
the policy of the committee to reduce
high duties and abolish determinations
in the expectation that other nations
would do the same thing in recognition
of our liberal action. Mr.. Bynum. who
obtained all his ideas from the books
of the free-traders. did not then recog-
nize the fact that nations, like individ-
uals. look out for themselves and their
own interests in the making of tariffs
Even Great Britain's policy of free
trade is based upon that selfish theory.
But the time has come when Mr.. By
mum and all those amateur statesmen
who have been preaching this beauti-
full theory of tariff revision by all ma
tons in the interest of all others have
occasion to know better II they read
the papers. Yesterday the press dis
patches asserted that "signs multiply
to show that the United States Is on
the verge OF great tariff war with all

ion. but the announcement of the agent

1t is true Bloomington has but one railroad
and is a small town. but that is all the bet
ter. The people have high morai standard
and they demand that student be in every
sense of the word gentleman in order to
go in good society. The small size OF the
town enables them to discover speedily just
what kind of a man a new student is, and
his social position depends upon his ability
and moral standard. Every man VINO goes
to college desires to go in the best society
and in order to do this his record must be
clean: no man can lead dual life in Bloom
ington, and all students realize the fact. Inc
result of this is that the students of the
State University are, as a rule, hard
working body Of young men and women.

would surprise those who have observed
and discussed them from day to day.
Great social movements have sprung up
and run their course; great labor strikes
have begun and ended: remarkable po-
litical revolutions have occurred; new
republic has been born and great war
has been declared; royal rlters have
acceded to power and new cabinets have
been formed: earthquakes. volcanic
eruptions, floods. fires and cloudbursts
have made their accustomed visitations:
death has reaped his accustomed har-
vest; funerals have jostled weddings;
the human family has made its usual
record OF joys and sorrows. and the
never-ending procession Of humanity
has moved with ceaseless steb towards
the great hereafter. And SO the year
has made its history.

Now comes Prof. Currier, principal of the
New York Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb, and as a result of sundry expert
ments. declares his belief that the deaf can
be made TO hear and the dumb to speak
through hypnotism. The claim can only
be true in a narrow and limited sense
There are cases in which inability to hear
or speak is due to the loss of nerve power
which might be temporarily restored by
hypnotism, but even this would depend on
whether the person was susceptible to
hypnotism or not The number of such
cases must necessarily be small while ii is
obvious that in the great majority of cases
hypnousm could more restore hearing
and speech than it could an amputated
limb. The hypnotic fsddists should not ask
US to believe too much.

A few months since the Board of Pub
lie Works denied railroad company
whose line, when built. would have
given the city the trade of several coun-
ties the right of way into the heart Of
the city. The company did not ask that
any street should be taken in the sense
that street railway takes a narrow
street; nevertheless it was refused. Now
comes a suburban street railway COM
pany and asks for the use of streets in
which people live who have adequate
railway facilities and who protest
against having their streets given up
to such a purpose. Because the board
has reserved it's decision it must not be
assumed that it will go back on it's own
precedent of refusal in case where
there were good reasons for granting
right of way and give up streets be-
longing in reality to people who are OPP
posed to such surrender to a street-rail-
way company which has ample facilities
to enter the city under existing laws,
and whose lines inside of the city will
be Damage rather than an advantage.
Moreover it cannot afford to establish
the theory that the streets are for
street-railway companies rather than
the people in the city now that it is
certain that half a dozen suburban lines
will be asking right of way over streets
to the heart of the city during the next
few years

about as much interesting history as
another. The year 1894 has brought it's

its predecessors. In these days OF rapid

1t cannot be regarded a misfortune
that only 1000 miles of railroad have
been built in the United States the past
year when it is considered that there
are thousands of miles that cannot earn
more than running expenses, leaving
the money invested in construction a
dead loss. If hereafter railroads are
built with regard to their value as in
vestments it will be better for all con-
cerned. For branch lines and for the
opening of new territory it looks as if
the electric railway would soon take
the place Of the more expensive steam
railroad.
