Both the poets and the prose writers of
Imaginative or contemplative turn of mind
have often alluded to tho tears shed by
stays and other wounded creatures of the
deer family. Shakespeare put it in this
way in describing the injured stag:
The big round tears
Coursed one another down his innocent nose
In piteous chase.
There Is, OF course, more poetry than
truth in these references to the actual she'd
ding OF tears by members of the deer fam
lily, yet it Is fact that such animals are
provided with a curious set of organs, the
action of which has given rise to the tea,
shedding belief. The organ in question is
the lachrymal sinus, or "tear pit" which
Is situated just below each eye. 1t is a
kind of closed cavity, capable of being
opened at the pleasure of its owner, and
which secretes greasy, waxy fluid of very
disagreeablc odor. When creatures proyid.
cd with this curious organ get hurt or
become enraged, it has the effect of soften
ing the waxy substance in the "tear Dit. y
When so softeneo, 1t escapes as tears would
and flows down over the nose and face.
The Uses of this queer set of so called
lachrymal organs Is not clearly understood
by the zoologists.-St. Louis Republic.

The report of the President OF the Ma
val War college to Secretary Herbert
contains much of especial interest to New
Englanders. In this report the New
England coast Is considered to be the
probable theatre of any future naval war
fare In which this country IS concerned.
1t is thought that in event of war the
enemy would conduct naval operations
against this country from Halifax rather
than from the Bermudas. Halifax is so
much nearer the objective points of
almost on an equality, instead of giving
Americans the advantage that four thou
sand miles of water provide. The events
of the past, and particularly in the
Chinese japanese war, show that naval
fleet Is greatly increased in efficiency if it
works from base. Without it vessels
find it hard to keep together on account
of the difference in the coal endurance
and in the speed. With the best base of
operations determined, the next question
that arises is the object of attack which
any possible enemy would be likely to
have in view. To destroy the ports north
Of the Virginia capes would be the
greatest blow that could be inflicted by Il
hostile navy on account OF the great
wealth of the cities and the Importance
of their shipping interests. With these
two principles of warfare in view, 1t
seems clear that the seat of operations
would be somewhere about the triangle
bounded by Cape Cod, New London, and
Montauk Point, at the end of Long
Island. The harbor of New York and
some of the ports at the North would be
our base of OperatjopS

1t is said that Mr.. Carnegie having
given a million dollars for library in
Pittsburg will do the same for library
in Allegheny city. This multi illionairo
has set noble example in distributing
his wealth while alive, and the number of
millionaires who have gone and done
likewise is noticeable. Those who accum-
ulate and control great wealth bear a
grave responsibility as measured by the
best standards and even those who appear
to have an antipathy to millionaires in
general must admit that not few of

could have been expected.

One evening last week when the suf-
frage amendment was under discussion in
the South Carolina convention Senator
Tillman openly acknowledged that the
state had held the negroes down by viola
ton of the state laws, by fraud and
violence. He frankly said The only thing
that we can do is to take from them every
ballot that we can under the laws of
the United States This has been
the knotty problem Not justice, but
some method for continuing fraudulent
elections under the guise of law, was
the thing sought. How ridiculous in the
light of this statement was that which
this demagoguc made a few evenings
later: South Carolina wailowed in the
mire of corruption for twenty years. Let
us pull her out and place her high above
reproach." Senator Irby said that if
there must be fraud let it be known as
such. He knew as all know, who stop
to consider it, that the registering officer
is given the opportunity to disfranchise
whom he pleases. This amendment
adopted provides for an educational and
property qualification as does Mississippi
and it can be used as in the latter state
to exclude negroes. But 1t Is proposed
that this law shall not go into effect in
South Carolina until 1898, Up to that
time call male persons of voting age
applying fol- registration, who can read a
clause in this constitution or understand
and explain it when read to them by the
registration officer shall he entitled to
register and become electors In other
words this registration officer is the one to
decide whether the applicant "under-
stands that clause or not. 1t is simply
a device under guise of law to admit the
illiterate white men and exclude the
black. The guise is so transparent, how
ever, as to deceive no one. One of the
colored delegates scathingly arraigued the
dictator. His speech was eloquent to a
degree and the questions he put to Till
man must sometime and in some manner
be answered. Among them was the fol,
lowing that ought to bring the blush of
shame to the face of South Carolintan

One at times is almost compelled to
believe that every person possessed of a
fair education Is also possessed of or by an
ambition to write something. OF course
it would be unreasonable to suppose that
these good people are all willing to read
all of each others contributions. We
have much to thank the editors waste
basket for and sometimes this thankful
ness should arise from the fact that the
waste basket referred to is the tomb of
our own unburdenings of wisdom.
Again it is q lamentable fact that a
writer, who has won a reputation may
frequently escape this waste basket when
1t would be ever so much better for all
concerned if he hadn't. This truth ap-
pears to be lamentably applicable to an
article which John Gilmer Speed wrote
for the October Forum, and in which he
said the fact that country people-agri-
cultural people-are growing more
ignorant, generation by generation, is so
patent that instances or groups of in
stances need not be recited to prove it -
Well, we'll That may have seemed to
Mr.. Speed as ample excuse. He may be
able to foist his erroneous conclusion upon
city people and upon the farming COM
munities of some states. But he will
find difficulty with the average New Eng
land agriculturisu. Undoubtedly some
communities are like some persons, mis-
fits in agriculture. These misfits in condi-
tiOns may exist such as Mr.. Speed des-
cribes. 1t is known that the children of the
agricultural communities are fewer and
that in the transition which has occurred,
and must continue, school facilities are less
in some places while they are more in
others. But on the whole, what with
the Improvement in State supervision, the
chcapening of books the increase in cir
culating Libraries, the magazines and in
formation contained in the newspapers
which now come to the farmers homes,
it is idle to suppose that the intelligence is
waning. Nor is it just to assume this
because the educated sons and daughters
who got the rudiments of their learning
in the country, go out and ignorant hired
help and foreigners are brought in to take
their places in the farm work. We would
commend the article Mr.. T. C. Dow wrote
for the Belfast journal in reply to Mr..
Speed. Statistics do rot prove every
thing. One acquainted and In touch
With the conditions of the rural com
munities in Maine at least knows that
Mr.. Speeds conclusions are basty and
unwarranted.

was to enforce the law which Tammany

blackmail system with which the police

done. To the everlasting credit of Com

They will take no chances in 1896.

The voters who would sell their birth
right for the privilege of drinking in
saloons on Sundays; and the Bishop Pot
tiers, who help the enemies Of law and
order because the friends OF clean govern
ment do not accept all of their advice;
these are the ones who are responsible for
the return OF Tammany These voters
have assumed the responsibility for what
ever tho most corrupt political ring in
the world may be able to do. Fortunately
that will be limited SO long as Mayor
Strong's administration remains. But
the first and long step backward has
been taken. They have whitewashed
Dick Croker, Billy Sheehan, Diver
and divers others of the same ilk
so far as it Is possible to do so; they have
aided to the restoration OF the bagnio
annex of Tammany; they have brought
delight to the green goods rascals, the
bunko stecrers, the gamblers, the brewers,
the burglars and the murlerers, whose
indictments were pigeonholed by Tam
many; they have condemned the enforce
ment of law, they have voted that dirty
streets are better than clean ones, they
would restore the aims houses, the jails
and the police courts to their former con-
dition as political warehouses; they have
approved the wrong and condemned the
right Now let the guzzler to his guzzle
and the Pharisee to his PEDESTAL thankful
that they are not as others are.
