RAW
A Statement Demanding the serious After.
ito. of Democratic Congres.me..

take my place Nth the rank and ME Of the Demo,
embodied in this bill ms the close Of the war. -GrOrer
Cleveland.
Did the President mean that tariff reform
would be completed when the popgun bills were
enacted into law Did he mean that tariff re-
form would be completed when Ave Of the ma
terials used in our manufacturing industries
were placed upon the free listy Can it be that
the President of the United states is so narrow
minded AS to think that coal. lumber, lead ore,
iron ore, and wool are the only raw materials2
There is not n manufacturer in America that
does not know that pig iron is as much a raw
material to the rolling mill as iron ore is to the
furnace. Wool is no more a raw material to the
spinner than yarn Is to the weaver. Lumber is
no more n raw material to the sawmill than the
boards that run out the tail Of the mill are to
the box maker or the car manufacturer. What
Is the finished product of one industry is the
raw material for many others. Again, how ear
any one who stops to think for u minute doubt
that the labor and the money that are employed
in mines are just rs sacred aud deserving Of
consideration as that which Is employed in
factories
For what, then. do the rank and file Of Democ.
racy stand ? What does the President mean
when he says he will take his stand in the rank
and file of the party Does he mean that the
party Is to be a defender of injustice, an advo-
cate for class legislation that shall give protec.
tion to mills and factories and furnaces while il
forces miners and farmers to sell their products
to protected industries at such price as the great
monopolics may determiner Does he mean that
tariff reform Is tariff abolition?
IL that be Democracy, then it has been falsely
written In the history Of this country. Historic
Democracy was founded on equal rights for all
and special privileges for none. IL was the
party of honest consideration of all the people;
1t was the party of the people. When it spoke
for = tarif 1t made no exceptions by giving pro-
lection to one class and withholding it from
another. 1t founded its tariff ideas, first, on the
needs OF the Government for revenue, and.
secondly, on an equitable distribution OF the
burdens of taxation. II the President has come
down into the ranks of the party. he has come
down into the ranks Of historic Democracy.
which was never for free trade.
He must have come into the ranks that arc
going To march in the middle of the road, that
are going to stand for honest taxation, which
means a tariff that taxes every product that is
brought into the United States in competition
with the same goods that are produced in this
country. We will welcome the President into
the ranks, and we hope that in his forthcoming
message he will define clearly what he means.

and the Honorable WILLIAM CAMPBELL
Preston BREcKINRIDGE Of Kentucky.
BY a curious coincidence, both Of these
gentlemen are Southerners, and both served
in the Confederate army during the war.
Both have been college professors. Both
have served in the House Of Representatives
for about the same time, Professor WILSON
haying been first elected to the Forty-eighth
Congress, Colonel BREcKINRIDoE's career
in the House beginning with the Forty
ninth. They have been reelected alike to
the Fiftieth, the Fifty. first, the Fifty-second,
and the Fifty-third while both failed alike,
although for widely different reasons, to
get back into the r1fty-fourth. Both have
been conspicuously identified in the past
with the cause of Free Trade. Both are re-
nowned for eloquence, and are masters OF
those rhetorical arts and Evolutionary re-
finements which count for so much in the
vocation which they have now almost stimuli
taneously chosen.
Here the parallel stops short Upto with
in about q year. perhaps, Ne candid judy
ment of the community would have classed
the Professor and the Colonel as equals with
respect to political eminence, influence in

character. 1t is very different now. Pro
fessor WILSON may have lost something in
the public's esteem in the way Of reputation
for political courage and intellectual con-
s~istency, but he has preserved that which
IL far more precious; that which Colonel
BREcKINRTDGE has by his own fault lost
altogether and forever.
We should say, therefore, that these two
well-known Southern statesmen will never
be compeers upon the lyceum lecture plat.
form, whatever they may have been in past
years in the field Of free-trade statesman
ship. The desire to see Colonel BRECKIN-
RIDGE upon the platform and to hear the
melodious tones OF his really remarkable
oratory will proceed mainly from motives of
curiosity Of not a very high order; such Gu
riosity, in the final analysis, ~ enables
our prosperous lime museums to pay large
salaries. On the other hand, Professor WILL
SONS claim upon the public's attention, and
the sentiments Of personal respect with
which men and women will go to the lyce-
um to hear him speak, depend Upon the es-
Unable qualities Of the lecturer. He is a
good man, q sincere man at bottom, u man
who can make a very interesting and intel
~lectually satisfactory speech Of IN hour and
a half, and he ought to be successful in his
new enterprise. We wish the Professor
good luck and large audiences.

The Home and Pedigree Of Gas
Addicks.

We have unwittingly lone an injustice to
the Hon. GAS ADDlCKs OF Nowhere, the emf
tent political Spectator. We have not
been able to appreciate him as he appreciates
himself. Like everybody else, except Mr..
ADDrcKs, we have been unable to under
stand the qualifications that he must
imagine himself to possess for the post OF
Senator in Congress from Delaware. He
has paid delinquent tax bills, to be sure; but
Senator ANTHONY HIGGINS and every other
man who has been worthy to be n Senator
have not considered check stubs ~ title
deeds of political distinction. 1t seems that
the Hon. GAS ADDICKs is not Ms barren of
distinction as has been imagined. a very
large book called Massachusetts, of To
Day" was published in Boston in 1892. Its
frontispiece is the Pilgrim Monument at
Plymouth, perhaps the ugliest statuary
crime in the world; but in revenge the book
contains the counterfeit prescntment with
a sketch, presumably furnished by the H.
lu%strious subject, of the Hon. GAS ADDICKs.
This eminent citizen of Nowhere wears, in
his effigies, n striped suit, a very wide four-
finland, palpably ready-made, and a nous
tache that sweeps the horizon. He was born,
he informs us. in Philadelphia, Nov. 81,
lS4l, " son of JOHN T.. c. O'S. and MAR
GRETTA MCLEoD TURNER ADDICKs. He is a
lineal descendant of DoSAL O'SULLIvAS
A Of Dunboy Castle, county York Isicl,
Ireland" Mr.. O'SULLIvAN BEARE became
Earl of Bearhaven, and died in 1904, two
hundred and ninety years before the perihe-
lion of the Hon. Jas ADDICKs. The BEAREs
and the Earls of Bearhaven are in the Peer
age no more. We hope that they have not dis
appeared from Ireland, rs Mr.. ADDICKs's
county York" seems to have dOne VI
ADDICKs is the grandson of BARBARA O'SUL-
LIvAN, who married JOHN EDWARD CHARLES
ADDIcKs, German Consul to Philadelphia"
The Hon. GAS ADDIcKs is as mixed and I'M
certain in nationality as in residence.
He has a great name, however. "Mr,
ADDICKs's name, which he uses only among
his books, is JOHN EDWARD CHARLES O'SUL-
LIvAN ADDIcKs. He wears the ancient
family ring, cut with the arms of O'SUL-
Iva BEARE. His great-great-grand-
mother, on his mothers side, was Lady
ARABELLA G~ALBRAITH of Scotland"
We begin to understand the Hon. GAS
JOIN EDWARD CHARLES O'SULLIvAN AD-
DICKS a little better. He has other titles to
the Senate than his political investments in
Delaware. He has a good deal of a name
and an ancient family ring with the arms
Of O'SULLIvAN BEAgE; and we are graft
fled to know that he had something to do
with the dry goods and the -four business
before he went in for gas and statesman
ship. The Hon. GAs and so forth ADDICKs
is an amusing person, and will transfer his
Senatorial canvass to Oklahoma later on.

mandate given at that time by the constitu-
encies 10 make war against the compromise,
which the clause was understood to en-
body. During the last three years, how
ever, a movement has been started
within the Board, under the leader
ship OF Mr.. ATHELsTAN RILEY, in favor Of
/" definite religious teaching" that is to say,
Of the creed set forth in the Thirty-nine
Articles, or at least Of so much OF 1t as is
held in common by the Church OF England
and the Church Of Rome. Although Mr..
RILEY pressed his convictions with remark
able energy, some time elapsed before he
acquired an ascendancy over his colleagues.
As lately as March 2, 1898, the Board de
cided by % TO 18 Ito adhere to the scheme
OF Biblical and religious teaching which was
settled in 1871 and has remained in force
down to the present time" Subsequently,
however, the proportion OF the parties
changed, and It Is understood that the out
going Board now comprises 33 Clericals and
~ Prugressives.
The question TO be settled ut the ballot
box last Thursday was whether the Cleri-
Gals could retain the same preponderance Of
three to w in the new Board which will
hold Office for the next three years. Tn
result was that the Clericals not only failed
to keep their present strength, but narrowly
escaped q decisive defeat; for, although Mr..
RILEY and his principal c~oadjutor, the Rev.
JOSEPH X. DfGGLE, were reelected, the
Clericals will have a majority Of only three
in the new Board, the figures being 30 to
28. Even this weak majority is due to
the working Of the cumulative system Of
voting, whereby each member, having as
many votes as there are Board members al
lotted to his district, may plump them all
for one candidate. This the Clericals did
where they were weak, and thus managed
to return u number of members out Of pro-
portion to their aggregate vote, which was
less by nearly 100, 900 than that cast by the
Progressives.
There is no doubt hat the Clericals suf-
fered a moral reverse, tantamount to a vote
Of loss of confidence, and it seems unlikely
that their leaders, however determined they
may be to carry out what they believs to I've
a pious duty, will be able to hold their
small majority together with sufficient firm
ness to enforce the sweeping innovations in
the way of religious teaching which they
had contemplated.

year, compared with III last year, an
increase of fifty per cent, and that
90 of these courses are for graduates,
81 Of them being courses in Harvard Uni
~versity, in which women graduates work in
the same class with men. The other
courses are all repetitions by Harvard
instructors to women alone Of courses
regularly given in Harvard. In Sanskrit,
in Romance Philology, Italian, Spanish
Comparative Literature, Music, Physics,
Astronomy, Botany, Zoology, and American
Archaeology, all that Harvard offers to its
men is offered to the women OF Radcliffe.
The same is practically true Of the Semi
tic languages, of English. Germanic Philol-
ogy, Philosophy, History, and Mathe-
MATES, where Radclife's courses very
nearly equal in number those OF Harvard.
The divergence in the numbers OF courses Is
greatest in the departments Of Classical
Philology, German, French, Economics,
Chemistry, and Geology. In the case OF the
first three the difference is more apparent
than real, for in them Harvard can afford to
give parallel undergraduate courses OF the
same degree of difficulty, which Radcliffe
cannot in the case of the others the differ
ence is due either to the fact that q depart
ment at Harvard is undermanned or to the
lack of laboratory facilities mt Radcliffe.
Still, it is perfectly fair to say that Radcliffe
College now offers to women substantially
what Harvard offers to men, and that the day
is not far off when it can offer identically the
sam instruction. To attain this object
money is needed, and the report points out
how 1t can be used-for laboratories, for n
flre-proof library, for more scholarships, for
the means TO house the students more
cheaply, for a gymnasium, for more recita-
ton rooms.
The total number of students last year
was 2o5, of whom 100 were candidates for
the bachelors degree; twenty-five bachelors
and three masters of arts graduated last
June. The special students are to a great
degree really specialists and often graduates
Of other women's colleges.
The work of giving women a collegiate
education in Cambridge has now been
carried on for sixteen years at a wonderfully
small cost, largely through the self-devotion
and personal sacrifices of the teachers and
the men and women associated with them.
The new college, now officially under the
wing Of Harvard, is still in the same hands.
Every friend of the higher education of
woman will wish it continued success.

The London School Board Contest.

Not even the canvass preceding the gen
eral election of 1892 caused more heated
discussion or brought out a larger vote in
the London metropolitan district, than has
the controversy about the teaching of re-
ligion in the national schools, which on
Thursday of last week was temporarily set
tied at the ballot box.
The question whether Progressive or Cleri-
cal candidates should be chosen members of
the London School Board for a term of three
years was one of far-reaching interest, not
only because the training Of the minds of
SOC, 900 children is committed to that body,
but because the regulations for rsligious in
struction in the schools Of the metropolis
are reproduced in many other parts of the
United Kingdom. According to the Pro
gressives the point at issue was whether the
National School system should offer its adj
vantages to all the children of the people
irrespectively of class or creed, or whether
IL should he r~eOrganized on a sectarian
principle calculated to engender endless
bitterness and strife. The Clericals, on the
other hand, contend that what their OPP
pOnents really ain at Is TO exclude the
Bible altogether from the schools. Speak
ing broadly, we may say that the Church of
England and the Catholic Church are ar
rsyed on the Clerical side, and that the Pro
gressives are composed of non-conformists
and agnostics. But the general statement
must be qualified, for many Catholic lay
men Of a liberal turn Of thought and rep
resentatives of the sO-called Evangelism
section of the Anglican Communion have
been earne, advocates Of the Progressive
views.
The FORSTER Education act Of 1870, by
which the National School system was es-
tablished, undertook to answer in a prac'.-
cal way the question how far religion should
be taught. Its provisions, as interpreted By
the resolution of the London school Board,
passed in March, 1871, were to the effect.
first, that portions Of the Bible should be
read by the childr ,r and explained in =
manner suited TO their capacities; and, sec
ondly, that the teachers should not in letter
or spirit Introduce any formulaTies or cate

ALBANY. Nov. 26.-There is a prospect that .
bill to prevent the bounding Of deer will be
introduced in the Legislature this winter. This
step grows out of the reports Of the great
slaughter OF deer in recent seasons nd.the like
lihood that they may be exterminated. Col.
FOX. Superintendent OF State Forests. does not
agree with those who fear that the deer may be
killed of. He estimates that there are 5000
deer In the Adirondacks, and that only about
more rapidly than they have been shot. he
thinks. and he points to the fact that they were
never more plentiful than during the past sea-
son. Col. Fox says he would favor q bill which
would prevent hunters driving the, game into
the water and then Strengthening them while
they have no chance to fight.

for il now. But will the income tax for this

country upon the Populist insurrection

Some of the cloak manufacturers of this
city whose employees have been on strike for
the past two months, recently gave notice that
Germany. At the time this notice was given,
we said that we regarded 1t as very unwise, and
as sure to be harmful to the New York manu-
lecturers. But, nevertheless, we are led TO infer
that some of these manufacturers must have
carried out their purpose; for in the cable
despatch from Berlin which We printed yester-
day, We were informed that the Berlin cloak
makers "are preparing for a great increase Of
exports to the United States"
It is possible that the policy Of importing
ready-made cloAks may have been adopted as
means Of soaring the New York strikers or
thWartinE their schemes; but, whatever be the
object OF the manufacturer, their policy IL a
most unadvisabls one. Any attempt TO make IL
permanent will most certainly result in legisla-
ton by Congress that will render the carrying Of
1t out impossible. sure as fate, and wholly re-
gardlsss Of any tAnn theory, the duties upon
re4dy-mAds imported clOAks will be raised 70
any extent necessary 70 check their importation.
The hiring Of wOrkmen In foreign countries to
