One result of the formidable Demo
cratic opposition to the tariff bill is
that the ways and means committee
has almost definitely decided that the
income tax shall be reported to the
house as a separate bill, instead of be-
ing offered as an amendment to the
tariff bill, as originally intended. A
member of the committee is authority
for the statement that the most of the
Democratic opposition is, as he ex-
pressed it, hiding behind the income
tax. If that be true they will have to
come out if that measure be put in
separate bill.

It was not believed that there was
another big sensation in the Hawaiian
business, but the supposed con1rma-
ton of the news that Minister Willis
had officially asked the provisional
government to step down and out to
make room for the queen, and had
been officially refused, proved that
there was. When the official confrma-
ton of this news is given out there will
be some stirring times in congress.
~
The house may get an opportunity to
vote on the repeal of the 10 per cent
tax on state bank currency, notwith-
standing the deadlock which exists in
the committee on banking and curren-
cy. That committee has authorized a
favorable report to be made to the
house on bill introduced by Repres-
entative Rawley of South Carolina, ex-
empting from the tax the clearing
house certificates and other circulat-
ing mediums issued between August l
and October Is, 1898. When this bill
gets before the house an amendment
will be offered which will repeal the
law imposing the currency tax and its
friends will endeavor to force it to a
vote. More members have expressed
themselves in opposition to the repeal
than have advocated it, but there are
so many who have not expressed them
selves either way that the result of a
vote is doubtful

Representative Pendleton of Texas
has introduced silver bill. 1t provi
des for the keeping of a record fol-
sixty days prior to January 1, 1895, OF
daily relative market values of gold
; and silver bullion in the markets OF
, New York and London, and that the
average value thus shown shall be the
legal ratio between gold and silver, and
that after the date mentioned the minis

There is some uneasiness among
what are known as the gold men in
congress, on account of Representative
BANDS bill, which seems to be making
friends, providing for an immediate is
sue of $55,O00,O00 of silver certificates
based upon the seigniorage in the
treasury, and, it is understood that
Representative O'Neil of Massachu
sets, will introduce a measure as {
sort of rival to Mr. BANDS bill among
those who are unalterably opposed tC
an issue of bonds. Mr.. O'Neil's bill
will authorize an issue of treasury bills
f bearing interest for one year. Repre-
: sentative Harter of Ohio, has introduc
ed bill authorizing the issue of pei
cent thirty year bonds in the discretion

The difficulty between Governor
Lewelling and Mrs. Lease is certainly
to be regretted. It is sad when the
friends of reform are brought into
personal antagonism. We have the
highest regard for the rectitude of the
intentions of both Mrs. Lease and the
governor. We hope the matter may be
amicably settled. We need to have
harmony in the party to be successful.
We need to keep the "unity of the
spirit in the bond of peace"

NATURE and labor work stated hours
and seasons. Mortgages never consult
clocks or weather. Producing much
cannot be sin if distribution makes
it salvation. Economy and prudence
of all might sacrifice the profits of
each. Dust, rust, decay and dry rot
are spooks that walk in silent facto-
ny. Natural law never promised gain
to idle minds, muscles or dollars. Capt.
tai may absorb profit by legal contract,
but labor is its rightful heir.

Doesn't Believe In High Tension.

Thomas A. Edison is not to be number
ed with the adherents Of the lately herald
ed method of producing light by tho use
of high tension currents. This Is the cur
rent Of which Nikola Tesla is the strong
est advocate. We must expect, according
to this theory, wonderful revolution in
the lighting of our houses during the next
decade. 1t will come from invisible
sources, and the rooms will be in a glow of
light, an essentially modern condition.
Il do not think people would use it,
says Mr.. Edison, as quoted by the New
York Press, because it does away with
some very essential qualities which good
light should possess. The human eye Is
adapted by nature to encounter red and
yellow rays in light with which it comes
in contact. We have these in the sun, in
gas, in the incandcscent light, in tho can
die, etc. When wo reduce the amount of
energy per candle power, we lose these red
and ultra yellow rays. The Rlowworm
produces light, but without any of these
red and yellow rays to which we are ac-
customed. The energy is very small. 1t
is the same with these high tension cur
rents. Now, no one would want sepul-
chral light-the light we arc accustomed
to connect with graves and vaults. No.
The eyes are built for very ultra violet or
reddish rays, for a compound ray light,
not one ray light. Nature Is against It,"

"An easy shave?" The words come trip
pingly, as If the art, or rather mystery, OF
shaving were facile From the very earli
est ages the problem Of shaving, like all
really great problems, has perplexed
thoughtful men. Why our palaolithio
ancestors began to shave is unascertained.
1t seems SO easy to let the chin alone.
There may have been some religious rea
son, or sexual selection may have inter
vened. Woman may have preferred a
beardless wooer. Yet this is contrary to all
analogy.
When Alma Venus behaved in the man.
ner so POLITICALLY described by Lucretius,
''the most eloquent of blasphemers, then
the wanton lapwing procured for himself
another crest, and the peacock spread
abroad the splendors of his tail. The
beard in man is averred by philosophers to
have corresponding moral. But man,
being reasonable, must needs cut his beard
off. To run in the face of nature has ever
been his way of asserting his independence
and demonstrating the lordship of reason.
Ere metals were invented, ere fire sub
dued the copper to his will, man plucked
his beard out, or he fooled with sharp
shell. A soapless shave with a shell-it
bc huNS
described the agonies of the brave. Con-
ceivably, man shaved because the beard
might be caught hold of by an enemy with
the left hand, while with the right he
drove the pointed flint under the fifth rib.
For whatever reason, man in the bronze
age shaved with bronze razor, as If we
should do so with a paper cutter. The
process must have been slow and painful,
as much SO as tattooing, but fashion was
all powerful. Saturday Review.

The Yeast Plant.

1t was not until 1850 that the cause of
fermentation was known, when the yeast
plants were discovered i'll the dregs of beer
by Leenwcnhoeck, German expert, with
a microscope and 1t was nearly 200 years
later in 1897, that Cagniard de la Tour
followed this up and found that it was
really the yeast plant that produced fer
mentation and made alcohol of sugar.
Today more than 100 different yeast plants
are known and recognized. They arc as
different from one another as the individ-

College boys always will play pranks
as long as there are college institutions.
Colby is not an exception and joke was
played on two freshmen, Friday evening,
that. while from its nature was nothing
harsh, yet has turned out to be double
Joke As two of the freshmen were attlr-
ing themselves in their dress suits to at
tend the reception of the ladies of '9S, the
door bell rang. On going to the door, in
stead of meeting some friend on business
or pleasure, they found instead wicked
sophomores in goodly numbers, and each
was taken captive and loaded into a
wagon for a ''short pleasure drive into the
country" AS the sOphs had no idea OF
doing any thing which in any way might
endanger the health of their under-class-
men, ulsters, caps and overshoes were
provided from somewhere, and in the
pleasant moonlight the ride over the
smoothly worn roads was not altogether
unpleasant After time one was told
that he might go home. and he was helped
carefully to the ground. Imagine his
surprise when a farmer informed him that
he had to walk three miles to town. But
he didn't walk he ran, and appeared at
the reception at the last moment. The
tale of Freshman No. 2 was different.
When he was spirited away, his old board
ing master, thinking something serious
was about to befall his boarder, hobbled
out to spread the alarm. Three of the
wisest sages of the faculty were consulted
and then the quartet started for the ofii-
GERS of the law. Stable after stable was
visited till the one was found where the
team was hired, and then all waited the
return. The surprise came when at $50
the freshman who went away half clad,
came walking iii warmly dressed in an
ulster, sweater, fur cap and overshoes,
saying that he had greatly enjoyed the
evening The professors looked inquiringly
into each others faces and then at the otf-
GERS and went home, and the next morn
ing it was the feeling that though the joke
was intended singly, its effect was double.
