AdmIrnI ,rendc.. nna nrcnI..

Newspapers that are malicious in their
hostility 20 the administration are pattins
Admiral Meade on the back. as IL were.
and calling him high spirited. high
minded and noble American officer.
Newspapers that are disposed 20 be just
and fair In the treatment Of all public
matters. think the admiral is guilty OF Sc
rious misconduct If he authorized the pub
location OF the Interview in which ne Is
placed in the position Of trying TO bring
the administration into disrepute and OF
violating one of the lest known regula-
tons Of the naval service.
Because ne was dissatisfied with certain
things that. were done in the navy IL
doesn't follow that he had a right TO in
siuuate that a naval officer who is an
American and union man" is not likely
10 ind favor with the administration. An
insinudtion like that is a serious refec-
ton upon the President and the Secretary
az the Navy. who are his superior officers.
The assertion that he is a union man
Was clearly aimed at the Secretary Of the
Navy. who is an ex-confederate.
Perhaps Admiral Meade thought be
cause he had sent in his request to be put
on the retired list he could talk
ss he pleased lie will find he was mis-
taken. in all probability.
He is himself a strict disclplinarian.
Only recently he had a surgeon OF the feet
under his command court martialed for
giving to the press an interview in which
the admiral was criticised. The surgeon
violated the navy regulations which for
bids a naval officer from airing his griev-
ances in the public prints. The admiral
therefore ought not to feel agrieved if he
is given a dose OF his own medicine.
But whether he feels agrieved or not,
he will have TO disown the alleged inter
view or take his chances for justification
before a court martial 1t is not probable
that the President and Secretary of the
Navy will permit to pass unnoticed any
such breach of discipline as that of which
Admiral Meade is accused.

One sign of the times is the evidence
that the rabid slverites are losing their
temper and constantly descending from
argument to vituperation in their propa-
ganda, The Atlanta (Ga) Constitution is
one of the worst offenders in this regard:
il seems TO have forgotten how to argue
its side of the question temperately, and
fills its columns with cheap abuse of the
gold bugs" and "Shylocks," who think
that the country cannot afford TO indulge
in any more experiments in tiatism just
at present. This loss of temper is open
TO a very obvious explanation, which is
that the free silver propaganda is not
making the progress among the Constitu-
tion's readers that il expected. and ii is
venting its bad feeling in consequence in
its editorials. There are other offenders
of this class among the southern free
coinage organs. and bitterness and ac-
rimony are almost the rule in their hand

Abundance ofIrnnrnnce.

A couple of weeks ago the Morning News
quoted statistics showing that the prices
of corn and some other farm products have
not fallen since 1873 The prices quoted
were for 1873 and 1894, and the statement
was distinctly made that the prices for
both years were gold prices. Gold was the
measure of values in 1873 as it was in 1894.
The silverites will hardly deny that state
ment.
The Augusta Chronicle, which had been
prating about its fairness in the discussion
of the silver question and alleging that
those opposed to free silver coinage were
ignorant and unfair, quoted prices for 1873
and 1894, which seemed to show that the
quotations the Morning News had made
were incorrect. The Chronicle was asked
twice before an answer was obtained
whether the prices it quoted for 1873 were
not paper currency prices, gold in that year
being at a premium. Finally the Chronicle
answered. And what was its answer? 1t
was, in effect, that it didn't know whether
the prices it quoted for 1873 were paper cur
rency prices or not. The article in which
II duSWSISu was HeduSu, ASK tue govern
ment."
And yet this organ of the silverites talks
about the ignorance and unfairness of the
opponents of free silver coinage. Could
there be a more conspicuous instance of ig-
rorance and unfairness? Driven into COR
ner it seeks to evade square question, in
stead of frankly admitting its mistake.
Recently we asked the Chronicle if it had
ever thought of looking for ignorance an1
unfairness nearer home, and it fippantly
answered it had not. We 90 not repeat
that question, because we do not wish to
be in the least disagreeable. but we hope
the Chronicle Will be a little more eau
tious in the future, Its patrons are certain
ly entitled to have correct information.

The person who goes to sleep in public
places takes risks of which he knows
nothing. That is a summary of the opin-
ion of John Dewalt of Black Eddy, Pa,
and he knows from experience what he Is
talking about when he says so. John
went to an auction few days ago. The
weather was a little warm and the sale
was dull. so John got drowsy. There was
a chair handy in the auction room. and
John sat down in it, The sing song Of
the auctioneers voice was lullaby to the
sleepy man, and he fell a-nodding. The
auctioneer put up a COW for sale. Who'll
start 'er at $25?" asked the auetioneer
Dewalt nodded. not to start 'er," but
because he was half asleep. But auction
GERS have only one definition of nod in
their bright lexicon. Going at S25,' sang
the auctioneer. Somebody raised the BID
TO $50. Can 1 make it 1852" asked the
auctoneer. Again Dewaldt's nod was at
the wrong time, for him. Thus things
went on until the price Of the COW was run
up to a top figure, when she was declared
sold to the man holding in the chair
When Dewalt was awakened he wanted
to get out of his unwilling bargain, but
the auctioneer would not listen to it, He
said he was running an auction room, and
not sleeping house, and when man
came into his place and went to nodding,
the mods meant something in the way Of
dollars and cents. And Dewalt had to let
it 90 at that.

parliament a bill to make it a criminal
offense to circulate a falsehood, during a

law against circulating falsehoods with

are that the court houses and prisons

Jewish colony in China. one of the five
ports to be opened to the outside world
is that of kaifeng-foo, in the province
whore the last remnant of the ancient
Jewish settlement exists. Since their first
discovery several attempts have been
made to open up communications with
them, but so pronounced is the fanaticism
of the Chinese that all efforts in this d.
rectiOn have failed. 1t should not now De
long, as a result of the complete tran.-
formation which the whole of China is
bound to undergo. before trustworthy in

of kai-feng-foo can be obtained. 1t is
moreover quite within the bounds OF
probability that other Jewish colonies, or
traces of their existence, should be found
in the hitherto inaccessible parts of the
interior. The Kai-feng-foo colony was
surely not the only one that was formed
in China, perhaps more than 1900 years
ago. The expedition which travelled from
the Euphrates TO the Yellow river must
have been very considerable in numbers.

-Ihe American museum of natural his
tory has recently acquired the famous lit
tie four-toed horse from the collection of
Prof. Cope of Philadelphia. and it is here
publicly exhibited for the first time, says
the Scientific American. This little ami
NAL, although fully matured is only 3i5
hands high, and is estimated at 1000, 900
years of age. The skull and limbs, never
theless, display the most undoubted char
acteristics of the horse. there being a
broad space in the lower jaw correspond
ing to the space for the bit. The teeth are
short and simple; the limbs are scarcely
larger in diameter than a good sized pen
ell, and there are four toes, all resting
upon the ground, in the fore foot. To thosa
who stil doubt whether this little animal
Is actually the ancestor of the modern
horse, a remarkable series of feet is ex-
hibited, giving all the stages between this
four toed and the modern one tOed ami
NAL in which the median toe is seen con-
stantly increasing in size, and the side toes
are constantly diminishing until they are
reduced to the pair of splints. This evil
dence is further confirmed by an almost
equally complete series OF skulls showing
every stage in this wonderful develop
ment. The two extremes of this remarka-
Bile series are shown in the little four toed
animal placed beneath the head of the
modern trotting horse skeleton, showing
the exact relative size of each. This ex-
hibit, together with botany and anatomy
is placed in the Vanderbilt gallery.
