The Tennessee legislative investigat-

treat the republican candidate with fair
ness, else the committee would not have
slipped away to avoid hearing Mr. EY-

the scheme may be for the moment.
They are simply making it easy for the

The New York Commercial Advertis-
or is one of the oldest dailies in the
United States. 1t was founded SO years
ago, Oct. 2, 1897 A fact unknown to
most people is that DR.. Noah Webster,
the famous spelling book and dictionary
man, was its first editor. How he got
time to write his dictionary and spell
ing book will be mystery to all modern
newspaper editors. One of the founders
of The Commercial Advertiser was the
great and handsome Alexander Hamil
ton, and Thurlow Weed was at one
time its editor The Commercial Adver
tiser will have a hard time to live up to
the glory cast upon it by these great
names.

It is noted as peculiar feature of the
markets that while aristocratic wheat is
having hard struggle, and is going
down in price, plebian rye-yhe grain
and the flour, not the distilled
PRODUCTS gaining in value. A day or
two ago the price Of rye in the grain
was quoted as even with wheat, with
the market strong, while wheat was
weak and dull. Rye flour was quoted at
81. 65 to $500 per BARREL with a strong
market, and wheat at 81. 10 to $500 per
barrel with a fat market. Rye appears
to be coming along in another way than
in the bottle.

COMMERCIAL RETALIATION.

It is to be hoped that the president OF
the United States will never be forced
TO have recourse to the sweeping power
the law made in 1890 gives him over
the products Of foreign nations import
ing goods into this country, When Ger
many Disseminated against our pork a
few months ago, some jealous souls
urged Mr.. Cleveland to make use of his
extraordinary power at once, but he was
wise enough not to do it. Again when
Spain began to discriminate against
American -four the president was urged
to issue a proclamation which would
have stirred up a great breeze, but
again it was decided to let Spain have
time to see the error of her ways,
The power in question is contained in
the congressional meat and food inspec'
tion act passed by congress Aug 30,
1890 The act recites that whenever the
president of the United States is salts
fed that any foreign government is
making Determinations unjustly against
"any product of the United States, - food
or otherwise, in the matter of its impor-
tation with that country, then he may
issue proclamation directing that the
goods of such nation shall be excluded
altogether from entry into the United
States. This law is formidable enough
to prevent any country of Europe from
discriminating against our products.
We could stand doing without their
goods much better than they could
stand not selling them to us.

the negro mortality rate in that city

4 London Police Court Incident That
 Made Even Lady Somerset Laugh.
 All London is laughing now over q bit of testimony that was given in the hearings on Lady Henry Somerset's s crusade against tho London music halls. Not to be behind cur own Dr. Parkhurst Zen he began his crusade, Lady Henry Somerset determined to take the bull by the horns and collect evidence her self. She secured another lady as zeal ous as herself as q companion, and the pair obtained the services of a young carate of their acquaintance as male es- i cort
 Now, it happens that Lady Somerset is a woman of very generous proportions and withal so handsomoly ySsnade that some of the ungodly hayo been wicked enough to suggest that her ladyship would make an enchanting living pie turo herself It ehaneed also that the lady who was to accompany her was of a similarly generous build, if anything rather the larger of the two. On the other hand, the young eurate was slight a.yd weazoned, with pale, mild face, that bore perpetual air of melancholy.
 The trip was made and when the de- teetive party was placed upon the stand during the hearing the justice asked her ladyship if iii her travels about in the slums sho had been molested or accosted in agy offensive way, Lady Henry was compelled 10 reply that she had not, but that on the contrary, she had rather re- spectful treatment Her companion gave similar testimony
 When the little eurate took hestand, tho judge asked the samo question of him-if he had been aecosted.
 Yes, " replied the little man in a shrill voice, and very offonsively too.
 Well, said the judge, what did tho women say to you?''
 Well, sir ? the cprate declared, with eomical indignation, "in one of tho music halls Q couple of women came up to mo, and one of them brazenly chucked me under tho chin and said, Why so sad, Willio?' ''
 Even Lady Henry Somerset could not suppress her laughter. Now York Her. ald

 Of Campbell's s lives of the lord chan eellors, ill the succession of which there was possibility that he might himself appear, Lord Brougham said that it had added new terror to death, Life has been so stuffed with new terrors by the bacteriologist that there is hardly room for another, and beside him the most prolix and prosaie historian and biog- rapher becomes an innocent and harm less figure indeed There is hardly any physiological or moral condition which is not now fitted with its bacillus, the proportion and structure of that micro scoplo reptile being given with diabol- ical accuracy and verisimilitude. It would really be a relief not to know quite so much of the minute organi- zations which accompany morbid path o1ogioal states if there were any way of escaping it. The doctors have to know, of course, but the knowledge might be confined to them, as the sacer- dotal mysteries used to be to the priest hood. It would save no end of popular anxiety and alarm. With every symp- tom tho patient is now assured that he is assailed by new and virulent micro cocous, and the constantly published re- searches of the microseopists tend to iu. flame his imagination and increase his alarm.
 Here is an Italian bacteriologist who says he has discovered the bacillus of old age, and when he has found out tho right sort of salt to put on it's tail its ravages will be at an end and old age, as condition, will pass away, subsist ing only as Q theory or remote retro spect.

Max Muller I'm Nineteenth Century.
The sacred books of the Buddhists are
perfectly appalling in their bulk. They
are called the ''Tripitaka," THE Three
Baskets" and were originally written In
Pail. a vernacular form OF Sanskrit. They
have been translated into many Ian
guages. such as Chinese. Thibetan and
Mandshu. They have also been written
and published in various alphabets. not
only in Devauagari but in. Singhalese.
Burmese and Siamese letters. The copy
in 10 volumes lately presented to the Uni
versity OF oxford by the king OF Siam,
contains the Pail text written in Siamese
letters. but the language is always the
same: Il is the Pah. or vulgar. tongue.

having been preserved for centuries by
oral tradition. II was reduced for the first
time to writing under King Nattagamani

Book, however, seems 20 have meant
here no more than treatise or topic.
But, as a matter of fact. the Pail can
on consists. according to Rev. r. Spence
Hardy, of 275,000 stanzas, and its COM
meutary of 261, $50 stanzas, each stanza
reckoned at 80 syllables. This would give
us s,s02.oo0 syllables for the text and L.
569, 600 syilables for the commentary. This
is, of course, an enormous amount; the
question is only whether Rev. Spence
Hardy and his assistants, who are re-
sponsible for these statements, counted
rightly. Professor Rhys Davis, by TAX
ing the average of words in 10 leaves, ar
rives at much smaller sums. namely, at
1.752, 800 words for the Pail canon. which
I'm an English translation, as he says,
would amount to about twice that number,
or 3,505, 5000 words. Even this would be
ample for a Bible; It would make the
Buddhist Bible nearly five times as large
as our own; but it seems to me that
Spence Hardy's account is more likely to
be correct. Professor Rhys Davis, by
adopting the same plan of reckoning,
brings the number of words in the Bible
TO about 100000 We found IL given as
773,692. But who shall decide? l0
What the bulk of such a work would
be we may gather from what we know of
the bulk of the TRANSACTIONS. There Is a
complete copy of the Chinese translation
at the India office in London, also in Bo-
dleian, and a catalogue of IL, made by a
Japanese pupil of mine, Rev Bunylu Nam
jio. brings the number of separate works
in IL to 1852. The Thibetan translation,
which dates from the eighth century,
consists of two selections, commonly call
ed the Kanjur and Tanjur The Kanjur
consists of 100 volumes in folio. the Tam
jur of 225 volumes. each volume weighing
between four and five pounds. This col
lection, published by command of the en-
peror of China, sells for ESQ. A copy of
1t is found at the India office. The Burr
ates, a Monaghan tribe converted to
Buddhism. bartered 1000 oxen for one
copy of the Kanjur, and the same tribe
paid 1900 silver rubles for complete
copy of both Kanjur and Tanjur. What
must 1t be to believe in 325 volumes. each
Weighing five pounds-nay, even to read
through such a Bible?
