Mckinley at Hartford,

Mr.. Mckinley almost shed tear.
at Hartford the other day, says the
Chicago Record, an independent;
non-partisan newspaper, because the
American people are ''tailing to APP
preciate our own institutions" But
Mr.. Mckinley is at fault in the use
Of his pronouns. What he fears is
that there is a failure to appreciate
MS institution, and for this fear the
American people have given him
abundant cause.
Under the new tariff, which is by
no means a model one, we have free
wool, and already the British papers
are bewailing the fact that the En-
glish markets are overstocked WITH
American-made woolens at prices
with which the foreign manufactur
ers find in difficult to compete. And
while this is true, the price of do-,
mestic wool is notappreciabiy lower
than when the new law went int.
effect. Lumber was put on the free
list, but the price of the product Of
domestic mills is NOT sacrificed as
yet, and is not likely to be. Free
hides gave the United States the
command of the boot and shoe mar
kets of the world, but the American
farmer has not yet been compelled
to give away his hides, nor has he
suffered in consequence of American
dominance in the leather markets
of the world.
The people are not loslngtheir
appreciation of our institutions, the
corner stone of which is the liberty
Of the people. In opposition to this
are the trade restrictions which Mr..
Mckinley is trying to perpetuate
until they shall become an "institu
ton"
Bemoaning the fact that our own
people are "too strongly prepos.
sessed in favor of other political
systems" Mr.. Mckinley is trying
to fasten upon us "other politica.
systems" that have been discarded
by the greatest commercial nation
of the world and have their strong
est hold in Russia, Italy and other
nations still tagging far. behind ,hS
in the spirit, inventive genius And
capacity for labor that are typical
of the American people. &

"Nearly the same condition of af.
fairs exists in Germany as in Eng
land. The agrarian interests are
in favor-of the use of silver as
money, and the smaller farmers and
manufacturers appear to be joining
the bimetalIic ranks. The various
boards of trade, the larger mer-
chants and most of the principal
bankers are gold monometaliists,
But the silver question in Germany
during the last year has become
more largely political question
than at any time since silver's de-
monetization by that country. 1t
is currently reported that one rea-

New Treatment For Burns.

A Paris medical man of resources and
alternatives had in hand case of severe
and extensive burning, caused by boil
ing water. So deep was the injury that
the healing process was greatly delayed.
The patients family objected to skin
grating, which seemed to be the only
way to accelerate the process of recov
cry, and the doctor, as an experiment,
applied the internal membrane of the
hens egg-the white film with which
everybody is familiar. The injury must
have progressed beyond the suppurative
stage and shown signs of healthy heal
ing. A freshly laid egg is broken and
the membrane Immediately cut into
narrow strips and laid carefully across
the raw surface, then antiseptic dress
ings are applied with carbolic solutions,
and the whole is covered by tin foil In
number of cases this procedure has
been eminently satisfactory. New York

ocean amuse themselves and also turn an
occasional honest penny by capturing
both large and small snakes of the va
riety known as the lemon boa and COW
ering their bodies with tattooed letters
and designs. One Of these living manu-
scripts was recently exhibited at Egyp-
tian hall, London, which had the whole
of the third chapter of Genesis and some
pieces from Punch tattooed upon his
back in indelble letters Of various col
ors. Thousands Of these tattooed snakes
are annually disposed Of at Rio de ia
metro. The buyers generally kill these
snakes and either skin them or preserve

mems are highly priced by both Euro
pean and North American collectors Of
