AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

DR.. G. E. Wayne of Pittsburg. Pa. who is an
eminent oculist and is recognized as such In
the East, was discussing the recent alleged
photography OF the human eye and the dis
covery of an imags th.reon, at the Palace last
evening, and said that the proposition was
laughed at by oculists aud physicians generally
"The story Is, as you will probably remember,
that Mrs. Sherman was murdered. at James
town, n. Y, and that at the instfgaSlon of an
oculist the retna OF the eyes of the murdered
woman had been photographed and the image
OF burly man with ulster and big boots was
clearly defined by the negative. The PROPOSE
tien that the Image Of anything can be discey-
cred in the eye OF dead person is physiologi-
cal impOssibility. AS for photographlng an I'M
age In the retlna, which these en- husiasts claim
to have done, such proceeding is nonsensical.

REVENUE SOURCES.

A >free-trade Contemporary points out
many sources of revenue for the nationa
treasury, most of which suggest the
American people as the proper subjects Of
taxation. Great Britain. it reminds. its
readers, gets larger revenue, from beer
than we do: also from tobacco and some
other articles Of home production. That
larger revenue may be derived from
whisky. beer aud tobacco than has been
collected in recent years will readily be
admitted, but system which increases

taxation On imported goods is not likely

people. The Democratic party was given
power on a promise to reduce taxes, not
on a promise 10 transfer taxes from for
eign indust tries to our own. While there
Is question as to who pays the duties
levied Oh imports, there is no questio
whatever as to who pays the taxes laid on
domestic products. There seem to be,
still, people in the world who want to

1889 the farmers insisted on being pro-
tected against American competition, and
pointed out that the insufficient rewards
of farming were causing the bulk OF the
rising generation to .emigrate 10 the United
States. They succeeded in getting the
legislation they wanted and in placing In
power cabinet which gave notice Of the
repeal of all existing commercial treaties
and prepared system of gradually In
creasing duties which would secure to the
native farmer a monopoly of the home
market. Two-thirds of the lower house
of the Rigsdag are elected by the land
owners. The resultof this policy was two

TREASURY METHODS.

Som months ago the gold-standard men
in Congress ana out combined in the
prophecy that unless the siIver-purchasing
clause in the Sherman act was repealed
very serious things would happen. They
all predicted that, if it should be repealed,
the financial skies would instantly be-
come serene. With repeal there would no
longer be danger of a large sale of Amer-
can securities in Europe. The obnoxious
clause was repealed nearly eighteen
months ago, and we now find the single
gOld-standard men admitting that their
remedy for the financial troubles of the
time was inadequate. They now tell us
THAT the $500 O0O,o00 of legal tenders and
treasury notes must be called in before
the country can recover its financial
health. 1t is insisted upon that the bonds
shall be made payable in gold, and that
the rate of interest should not be less than
8 per cent. The yearly interest on bonds
into which the non-interest- bearing notes
arctic be con vertrd will, under this plan,
be SIS, 100000. 1t is not contended that the
bank notes which would taks the place of
these Government notes would be better
currency than the Government notes are I:

does not issue the notes, il will not have

demand for gold are the banks which find
a present profit in exchanging gold for
bonds: These banks gather in green backs
and treasury notes and present them at
the treasury WIKI demand for gold If
the treasury has not ths gold. or if there
is danger that more greenbacks and notes

UnGer present conditions, there seems to
: be choice between two methods of relief.
One is to issue popular loan in bonds of
small denominations, which will doubles S
be taken and held by TIE people; the
other, to redeem Government notes half
in gold and half in. silver. For the popu-
lar bond issue there would have 20 be
legislative action, but for the payment of
greenbacks and treasury notes in part or
entirely in silver there is already legal
authority. In fact, it is in disregard of
law that holders of currency are allowed
to choose which Kind of coin they will
take in exchange. The partial payment OF
currency in silver will not disturb the
: parity. which now exists between gold and
SILVER dollars. Silver dollars will be worth
their face value so long as the Government
receives them for dues 1t Is this quality
of receixability for all Government dues
which gives them a money value above
their commercial value. Mr.. Cleveland
said some months ago that the banks had
the treasury by the leg, but he does not
seem to have the nerve to attempt to
break their hod: If the present coudi-
..tions remain much longer. the belief will
become general that. Mr.: Cleveland does
not want to break it.

EUROPEAN LEGISLATION ON THE
FOOD QUESTION.

The Belgian Government has prohibited
the importation of American cattle at
Antwerp, on the ground that pleuro- pheu-
monia is raging in this country and that
our cattle are all diseased. A few months
ago the Government of Germany laid a
similar prohibition on the Importation Of
hay from the United States. It was not
stated that the hay had pleuro-pneumonia.
but the German experts certified that il
harbored noxious insects. Bismatck's
theory that American pork and hams were
infected with trichinB has. not stood the
test of time; but the German and French
tariffs continue to levy discriminating
duties upon American provisions as we'll
as grain.
These measures of fiscal Legislation are
all based on false pretenses. Germans.
Belglans and Frenchmen know perfectly
well that American cattle are not diseased,
that American hay is not full of noXious
insects, that American hams are not in
fected with trichin8, that California flour
is as wholesome or more wholesome than
French flour. 1t is hardly worth while
keening up An imposture which imposes
on no one. Better say frankly that the
agreulturlsts Of Continental Europe are
unable to compete in their own markets
with the agriculthrists of the United
States, though the former are 5000 miles
nearer the consumer than the la ter; and
that the German, Belzian and French
farmers insist on their respective Govern
ments protecting them against foreign
competition. This would be an honester.
statement of the case than an affected con-
Germ for the public health. 1t would be
still more honest to admit that the Gov
ernments of these countries hope by dis
elimination against our products to force
our return to the reciprocity of the Nc
KinIeY law, which was set aside by the
new tariff law.
All over Europe agrarian parties are de-
handing that the price of food shaft be
made to advance by legislation, in order to
benefit the farming class at the expense of
the urban population. One of the most
interesting of the pending contests is TAX

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.

The secretary of the International
Arbitration League is on his way to the
United States to present an arbitration
memorial to President Cleveland and to
Congress. The London Times doubts if
the people of the United States are. at
present in mood to consider arbitration
propositions on their merits. The neat
manner in which court of arbitration
deprived US of property right in seals
horn on our soil and returning each
year from food-seeking trips 10 their
native home is still fresh in our minds
We remember what fine long speeches our
Counsel made, how they were compli-
mented by the president OF the court and
how the court decided every point against
US. An Arbitration Commissioner might
fad little delay serviceable under these
circumstances. Discipline is good thing
liz its way, but too frequent application of
it tends to the evaporation of the patient.
