LEFT IN THE DARK.
The Infamous Policy of Cleveland In ths
Hawaiian Affair.

Owing to the sudden and inexplic-
able silence of Mr.. Cleveland and the
state department. the American people
are left entirely in the dark as to the
situation at Honolulu. Save only for
the vision conjured up by the pictur.
esque dietion of one of the Corwin's
sailors who sung out over the rail:
''Hades's a-poppin' down there" the civ
ilized world is destitute of Hawaiian
knowledge A general impression.
founded on nothing more substantial
than the elusive they say"-that Min
ister Willis has presented to President
Dole demand that he step down and
let Queen Lii step up is abroad in the
land. and conjecture as to the effect
of this diplomatic communication made
to the government to which, in ap-
parent amity, Willis was accredited, Is
naturally active.
The net effect Of the presidential pol
icy of concealment will be to awaken
very general suspicion that the admin
istration has sustained a very serious
blow in Honolulu and desires to keep
the fact secret until it can prepare an
explanation and q remodeled policy.
There are many ways in which action
In Honolulu might seriously affect the
Cleveland following. Perhaps the
most disastrous thing would be the
complete success of the Cleveland poll
icy, for news of the reinstatement of
the queen. the return to power of her
British favorites, the reinstatement in
the line of succession of the half-breed
princess with her British guardian,
would be to many Americans tidings
of crime 1t is possible that the pol
icy of restoration has not succeeded
and that Minister Willis has been
CURLY ordered TO leave the islands
an order which President Dole as the
de facto head of an established govern
ment has entire right to issue. Or
there is still the chance that the inter
ference of Willis has led to fighting
and that by the Quixotic appearance of
Cleveland in the defense of an absurd
and contemplate monarchy an ordi-
narily peaceful community has been
stepped in blood. 1t is even within the
limits of credibility that United States
forces may have been employed under
the orders of Cleveland's envoy.
Speculation upon these points is of
course idle, but mere enumeration of
the varying conjectures in the public
mind shows bow unwise is the admin
istration's attitude of secrecy. In all
probability the ruth, when it comes,
will prove far less sensational than the
coniectures and concealment can be
for brief time only. The government
can anchor its revenue cutter far from
land and prohibit communication with
the shore, but the next steamer from
Honolulu must bring full and trust
worthy news. 1t will tax the imagina-
ton of Americans to believe that the
tidings now kept so dark secret
aboard the cutter Corwin can add in
the slightest degree to the stupidity
and infamy of the Cleveland policy in
dealing with Hawaii.-Chicago Times

FEARFUL OF RESULTS.
The Democracy In . Pickle Over tn
Tariff Situation

Tariff Situation.
There may be something in this loud
talk among democratic papers about
an alleged corruption fund to defeat
the Wilson bill which does not appear
on the surface. 1t is apparent that
there are democrats of high standing
in their party who are not at all san
guine about that measures prospects
for enactment, and some of them
would be glad to have a chance to lay
It's defeat, il it should be defeated, to
the use of money by the interests
which the bill assaila Indications OF
hostility to certain provisions of the
bill have been shown by democrats In
different sections of the country, and
If the bill should fail of passage 1t
might be deemed expedient for the
leaders of the party to attribute this
to the corrupt use of money by the
tariff baronS" A change of five or
six democratic votes in the senate
would defeat the bill, and there have
been reports that many Of the party
in that body are only lukewarm in
their devotion to 1t.
But it Is hard to see how the DEM
ocrats can be benefited by laying the
defeat of the bill to the use of money
II defeat should come. 1t would be
better, indeed, for the democrats %
have the bill fail through honest oppo-
sition to it in their party than through
bribe-taking, for In the first case the
party would be merely chargeable with
lack of sagacity and practical states
manship in being unable to frame a
tariff bill which its members could
unite on, while in the other case the
party would be open to the imputation
of insiucerity and vena,ity. The coun-
try knows that the democracy has a
majority in both branches of congress,
and if, in this contingency, the tariff
measure which it has framed fails to
pass the party will be put in an ex-
ceedingly' embarrassing position, and
il cannot escape the condemnation
which it will deserve In such a situa-
ton.
The democratic party will find that
1t cannot dodge or evade this tariff
issue by charging the protected inter
ests with bribery or corruption in any
form. The party has placed itself on
record on this issue both by the de-
liverances of its national conventions
aud by the policy which it has ad-
vocated and the measures which it has
framed. 1t will be judged by the
record which il has thus made even if
the present bill fails of passage from
any cause. Retreat from its position
would be cowardly and defeat through
a surrender to corrupt influences would
be dishonorable and contemplate 1t
has antagouized the republican party
on the leading issue of natiopal con-
Germ, and the country wants TO see
what policy it proposes as reform for
the abuses or alleged abuses which it
condemns. The democracy cannot re-
tain power by pleading the baby act
or by shiftlessness or trickery OF any
sort-St Louis Globe-Democrat

GoId-Filled Mummies' Teeth.

GoId-FilIed Mummies' Teeth.
The utility and importance of the
teeth has been known since the advent
of man on this planet. While no spe-
cific data can be obtained as to the
origin of dentistry. we know it was
praeticed among the Egyptians at a
very early age. Herodotus 900 3. c. }
in writing of his travels through Egypt,
at that time one of the greatest and
most civilized countries in the world,
mentions the division of medicine in
that kingdom into special branches,
and existence of physicians, each of
whom applies himself TO one disease
only and not more. Some (physicians)
are for the eyes. others for the head,
others for the teeth. and others for in
ternal disorders" 1t is thought by the
North American Beview that the
Egyptians and Etruscans were farther
advanced in the art of dentistry than
any other people in that early period.
for teeth filed with gold have been
found in the mouths of mummies. indi-
eating their advanced ideas. These
people were the first TO supply artifi-
cial substitutes in the mouth. Belzoni
and others have found artificial teeth
made of sycamore wood in ancient sar-
cophagi. The mode of fastening was
By Egatures or bands of cord or gold
wire. tying the substitute to its natu-
raj neighbors. In 1855 some specimens
of prehistoric dentistry were brought
TO this country by an English dentist
from Liverpool One was gold plate
with several human teeth attached
The specimens were found in an Etrus-
can tomb. The plate was ingeniously
made and l was surprised to see gold
used for base by such an ancient peo
pie Archaeological research may yet
reveal things that will teach this gene
ration. We modify, but must not fat
ter ourselves that we originate all
there is IN dental art. Ancient Greece
is renowned as the nursery of modern
medicine" Hippoc-ates made a special
study of the teeth Aristotle 900 Be-
also wrote extensively about them

BAD TIME TO TINKER TARIFF.
Government Revenue Failing on Past
Enough without Wilson Bill Reduction.

Government Revenue Failing on Past
Enough without Wilson Bill Reduction.
In view of the falling off in the gov
eminent revenues and the low condi-
ton of the treasury balance, it will be
apparent that the majority of the ways
and means committee have chosen an
inopportune time to bring forward
their bill for the revision of the tariff,
a measure which provides for a serious
reduction of the revenue from customs.
As to the extent of that reduction there
was no agreement at first Chairman
Wilson was quoted as estimating IL at
different times at from s95, 900, 900 to
$50 900. 900. while ex-Speaker Reed, the
leader of the minority in the house. put
the reduction at s74, 900, 900. Chairman
Wilson's latest estimate is contained in
statement lately prepared showing
the quantities and values of imported
merchandise for 1892 and 1898, with the
rates of duty and duties paid for these
years. together with the rates proposed
by his bill and the estimated revenues
under il, based upon like importationA
1t appears from this statement that
Tue OulI ECCclNCu undCE LAC
bill for the year 1892 was SITS, o9s,A7l.
The duty estimated under the Wilson
bill for like period would have teen
Sl07. 500, 10, making an estimated year
~ decrease of s65, 401, 900. The total
duty received under the Mckinley law
for 1898 was S19s, 473, 49, The duty es-
timated for a like period under the Will
son bill would be &l22, 665, 66s, an esti-
mated decrease of SIS, 7O7.7s4 1t ap-
pears, therefore, that there is not a
substantial agreement between the
estimates of Messrs- Wilson and Reed
as to the reduction on the basis of the
importations for the year 1898. OF
course it should be pointed out that
these estimates are subject to the linn
itation that they do not take into &C
count the possible or probable increase
in the revenue to be expected from in
creased importations on the basis of
lower duties A calculation Of this
kind, however, leads into the region of
conjecture.

TIE VALVE or 4 SQUATTISG MULE.
From The PI,tsburg Dispatch.


"Did you ever hear OF a squattIng mule?" asked
prominent coal operator yesterday well, |
don't blame you for not knowing what mean, for.
after fifteen years experience In the business, did
not know Of such mule until yesterday. one OF
sent word that one OF the work
ings there steep incline over which II was

TO try mule and In reply he stated he had pur-
chased n 'squattins mule In mines II means n
work and the same time small enough TO walk
through the low workings OF the mine. Sometimes
for hundreds OF feet the tunnels will be high
enough to allow a mule 10 walk through them; then
at some points the ceiling may get so low that the
mule cannot crawl under II. Now TO make the
passageway high enough for the mule would en-
tail great expense. yet we have often had to do
this. But 'squattng mule obviates this by
crouchng down when II gets to the low places
adapting Itself TO the height OF the tunnel as much
possible. SO squatting mule to miners Is
much more expensive than one that is not
