SENATOR MILLS is as osndid as he is

acceptance Of the challenge which sena-
Aldrieh made, apparently, in daring him to
explain the Inconsistencies Of the Wilson
tariff bill This piece Of ill.advised
smartness on the part of enator Al

Mills explained concisely that the con-
cessions IN the Wilson tariff bill were
made to Democratic Senators because
they.were more loyal to the special indus
tries Of their localities than to the Demo
cratic party and to the country IN general
He explained that be was not satisfied
with the bill but be preferred anything
almost to the Mckinley law. Senator
Mills Is a radical free trader He be-
lieves that the decl Rrations Of the Demo
cratic platform are true; he believes thai
any sort Of protective tariff Is wrons
and that the tariff Of the Mckinley bill
Is not ouly wrong but fraudulent. Bu

TIE designs which st. Gaudens, the
sculptor. has submitted for the Colum-
bian medal are subjects for the exchange
Of sentiments between the Senatorial
committee on the beautiful and the good
and the attic asthetiosm Of the artis-
tic fraternity. Just now the statesmen
are saying that the undraped figure on
the coin, even with the amendment Of
too little drapery, is vulgar; and the
artist, naturally retorting in kind, says
that the vulgarity is not in his work but
in the minds OF the critics and IN their
manner Of looking at the model The
discussion, of course, is interesting, as
all discussions of matters Of taste have
been ever since the world be-
gan, but IL is no more important
than any other difference in taste
between those who like that sort OF
thing and those who do not. IL may not
be amiss to say that whatever the de
cision about the relative good or bad
taste Of the figure that St. Gaudens pro
poses to put on the medal, or the figure
that ths Senator's finally decide shall 60
on the general public will declare that
there is neither good taste nor
good manners In the discussion
itself It would be much better for st.
Gaudens to avoid the discussion, and II
would have been much better taste foi
the Senators to refrain from It. The bad
taste and bad manners Of both are toe
evident, and so conspicuous that th,
public cares nothing about the merits oi
the case provided the discussion is con-
Quoted sensibly, privately and, above all
amiably.

AFTER q fight lasting through three
executive sessions Senator Call, Of
Florida, yesterday succeeded in having
Henry w Long, nominated to be regis.
ter of the Land Office at Gainesville, re-
jected The vote was 32 for rejection
and 10 for confirmation. Senator Call
said Long was his personal and political
enemy. This IS similar case to those
which occurred In New York and which
we're beaten by the same combination
which Senator Hill made with the worst
men in both parties. The abuse Of pun
ishing those who dare to oppose the
Senator's IN their respective states Is
growing into national issue It is an
abuse which the people will finally take
into consideration and correct. There
are other things also, which have
served TO bring the Senate under popu-
lar condemnation, all Of which when
once the spirit takes full possession Of

the case Of Senator Higgins, of Delaware.
expose an attempt TO bribe an officer OF

which would change the vote Of an entire
commonwealth. The same combination
which Senators Higgins aud Hill made
has been made by Senator Call. The
only difference Is that Senator Gray, &
powerful and popular Senator, wa,

A Field for the Explorer

The surface Of the Sargasso Sea,
of which humboldt spoke as "that
great bank Of weeds which so vivid
ly occupied the imagination OF
Columbus, and which Oviedo calls
the seaweed meadows" seems like a
perfect meadow Of seaweed. 1t is
supposed that this enormous mass
of gulfweed may have been partly
grown at the bottom of the shallow
er parts of the sea, and partly torn
from the shores Of Florida and the
Bahama Islands by the force of the
gulf stream. It's then nswept round
by the same agency into the Sar-
gasso Sea, where it lives and propa-
gates, floating freely In mid-ocean.
And the store is ever increasing,
both addition and propagation, SO
that the meadow grows more and
more compact, and no doubt, at the
inner parts, extends to a considerable
depth below the surface.
Nor is this all; for at least two
thirds of all the infinite flotsam and
jetsam which the gulf stream carries
along with it in its course, sooner
or later finds n resting place in the
