GROUND AT THE BOTTOM.

1t is narrated in noted lyric that when
Brien O'Lynn, his wife and his mother
were all going over the bridge together,
the bridge broke down and they all fell in,
whereupon Mr.. O'Lynn informed them by
way of consolation that they would find
ground at the bottom. In the same spirit
and with an equal wisdom, Mr.. Dana of
the Sun is now offering consolation to the
Democrats. While they t1ounder and
founder, like McGinty in the sea, Mr.. Dana
informs them there is ground at the bot
tom.
In recent editorial the Sun, with suf-
ficient elaboration to make each point clear
and distinct, asserts the Democrats can
not truthfully deny, nor successfully evade
the charges that the vacillating course OF
the present Administration has brought
US distress at home and humiliation
abroad; that by a policy looking toward
free trade, it has deranged business and
crippled our industries; that with deplor-
able incompetency it has failed to raise a
revenue enough to run the Government,
and has had to borrow in less than two
years $162, 0O0,0 900, mainly to pay ordinary
running expenses; that it has sold in Sc
cret to favored foreign syndicates the
bonds of the Government at prices far be-
low their actual value, and finally that
with unpatriotic Indifference it has suf-
fered British troops to land in Nicaragua
in disregard of the Monroe doctrine.
Having in this vigorous way disclosed
the depths of the deep sea into which
Democracy has fallen, the Sun goes on to
explain where the land is. Democrats in
the coming campaign, it frankly says, will
have to admit the truth of all these
charges, but in response to them can reply
that "the Democracy of Jefferson, Jackson
and Tilden is accountable for none of these
things; that Democracy has been be-
trayed and swindled by its own trustees OF
power; that, heaven willing, the party will
pick up its pieces and piece itself together
at the end of the dismal four years, and
stand again as the representative of prin-
ciples which are immortal, with political
courage which is invincible."
Without disputing the very doubtful
assertion that Democracy has principles
that are immortal, it will be seen that the
ground Mr.. Dana offers his party is very
deep down under the sea of bygone things.
Jefferson, Jackson and Tilden are dead
Their Democracy is not a living issue, and
he who would find standing room with
them must get off the earth. 1t is the
Democracy of Cleveland that concerns the
country, and if that bridge breaks down
the party will surely drown, even though
there be ground at the bottom, as saws
Dana O'Lynn.

FROM LAKE TO SEA.

From the tenor of the press in the cities
along the great lakes, it is probable that
strong effort will be made at the coming
session of Congress to commit the Govern
ment to the project of making waterway
accessible to deep-sea ships from the At
lantic Ocean to the head of Lake Superior.
The traffic on the lakes is sufficient to JUS
tify the expense, and as large proportion
OF the population of the United States is
interested in. it, the enterprise will not
lack either for argument or for popular
support when it Is brought up for discus
sion as matter of practical politics.
There are but two objections to the pro-
ject. The first is that the cost of such a
waterway will be not less than $50, OOO, 900.
The second is that the shipping will all
have to pass down the st. Lawrence River
through Canadian territory and therefore
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-10

would be subject to the interference OF that
power. 10 meet the objection OF the great
cost 1t has been suggested that the United
States and Canada should combine to do
the work, dividing the expense in proper
tlon TO their respective interests, ana to
meet the second it has been proposed that
the entire lake and river system from Lake
superior to the sea should be taken out OF
the hands of both Governments and put
under the control of a permanent joint
commission similar to that which admin
listers the navigation of the Danube.
Inc discussion of an international ques-
ton OF such Importance as this will be sure
10 revive interest in the idea of Canadian
annexation. 1t would suit us much better
to annex Canada than to put our interest
IN the great lakes into the hands OF an
international commission. This fact may
delay action on the proposed project for
long time, but there can hardly be doubt
that 1t Will be eventually undertaken. The
Canadians have done a great work in i'm
proving the waterway on their side. They
have expended $4,000, 600 in canals and
river improvements, while the United
States has expended but $S000,000 and
there IS very justly demand in the eight
States bordering on the lakes for our Gov
eminent to do more in providing means
Tor the cheaper transportation OF the prod
ucts OF the rich regions around them.

IMBEOILEs AMONG PLANTS.
Varieties That Never Seem to Reach a
Mature Growth.


Mature Growth.
Every one understands what is meant by
the imbeciIe, when speaking of human
beings. The mental development of the
child is checked, and even when such
child reaches the age of manhood, it is
still but child in its feelings and wants;
but it is not alone among human beings
that the characteristics of imbecility are
found. In almost all trees, the character
stics of the foliage or the habits are very
different during the first few months of ex-
istence than they are in after life. There
is a matured characteristic as well as an
infantile one. The tulip tree, for instance,
has it's first set of leaves entire, without
any appearance of the lobe or the truncate
termination which it assumes in old age
but sometimes these juvenile characters
tics will be maintained through life-and
then we have what is known as the Lirio-
dendron ntegrlfolla-that is to say, the
entire-leaved tulip tree.
This is more particularly marked among
evergrecns. During the first year of the
arbor- vitae, pinus, cupressus, retinospora
and similar plants, the leaves are heath
Hke-that is, extending from the stem quite
separate and distinct; but occasionally
there are individuals carrying these char
actenstlcs through life; and many of the
so-called japanese species are merely vege-
table lmbeclles. 1t is not uncommon for
acute observers to find branches assume
their adult form in many individuals in
this imbecile class. Just as in the case of
human beings, there are occasionally in
stances where imbeciles assume matured
characteristics.
inns is also true OF the animal world. A
friend of the writer has an aquarium in
which uadpoles as well other aquatic crea-
lures are raised. AS every one who is &C
qulnted with the commonest events in nat
ura! history is aware, the tadpole during
ITS frst season throws off its tail, pushes
Its legs and becomes frog. In the case of
the friend referred to, he has a tadpoIe
WnIch thrust out its legs and then ceased
to develop further. After three wears II is
stu tadpole with its two frog legs, re-
tanning its tail, and in all other respects it
IS tadpole with the tadpole characteristic
intact; 1t may be termed froggy imbe-
clle.-M eehan's Monthly Tor June.

the other was Theodore Hook, also a subject oil
Great Britain. Foote was probably the most
sarcastic of the two.
"On one occasion while listening to bad
rendition of an old song he asked the singer
why he insisted on singing such music.
Because it always haunts me- answered the
fellow.
i am not surprised at that; you are always
numbering it, replied Foote
"Some young men were annoying him one
day with an inferior brand of Jokes to which he
turned deaf ear. why, Foote,' said one, you
