WHAT THE COUNTRY paws.

What the Republicans of the senate
got for their fusion with the Populists
we all know. There were a few offices
with which to reward needy workers.
a few chairmanships with their per-
quisites, and the satisfaction of seeing
the Democrats deprived of the empty
honor of being responsible for the
legislation of the body they could not
control. Whether or not what they got
was sufficient compensation for their
alliance with the senators Of a party
whose principles and politics they pro-
fess to abhor, is a matter of their own
and of their party. But what the
country must pay for this remarkable
case of bedfellowship is a matter of
general concern
What the price is is shown by the
makeup and action of the senate
finance committee, to which was re-
ferred the house bill providing for the
protection of the reserve back of and
sustaining the greenbacks and the
treasury notes of 1890. No committee
of the senate is of the same Importance
to the country as is this one. First in
seriousness is the currency question.
1t has forcefully showed all other ques-
lions aside and taken front rank. 1t
is larger than the tariff, because it
touches daily the pocket and the inter-
ests of every man, woman and child in
the country. The inperious, pressing,
instant need is the maintenance of the
parity of all our motley currency with
gold. When that fails for a day. there
will be a revolution in prices, in cost
Of living, in the incomes of the people,
such as the country has not seen. The
depreciation Of the greenback In war
time Will be as small compared with it
as the money volume then was less
than at present.
And, to get the few pa1try offices. to
have the chairmanships and to put the
Democrats out, the Republican senators
deliberately yielded to the demands of
tee should have majority of it's men,
bers who were bent Oh sending the
country to silver basis. Senator Tel
Ter bluntly explained this as the terms
Of the bargain. And we see it's fruits
early. The finance committee met to
consider the house bill. NO action was
taken. Subsequently the silver men
met in conference and decided to insist
on Il substitute that would provide for
the free coinage. Of silver and prevent
the issue OF bonds to replete the gold
reserve The silver men are g. major
ity of the finance committee. They

The tax, our readers will recall, was
three cents on each ton of any and all
vessels engaged in interstate COM
merce. There was a similarity between
this and the gross earnings tax that
caught the legislators, aside from
those from Duluth, even if there was
no suggestion made to them that the
tonnage tax was to be computed on
the number Of tons Of freight carried
by the vessels instead of being caIcu-
lated merely on their displacement of
water when loaded. Possibly figures
showing the number Of tons of freight
sent out Of and received in Duluth
may have been left carelessly where
the rural members might see them
when the bill was under consideration.
and they left to draw their own con-
illusions. So quietly was this wood
chuck holed that nothing is known of
the arguments used to get support for
1t, and inquiry now would be futile,
because no member who voted for it.
outside of the Duluth delegation, would
be willing to admit that the wool was
pulled so deftly over his eyes.
But the figures of the table give us
chance to arrive at the tonnage owned
in or hailing from the Zenith city. We
searched through the spread Of the re-
sources, the trade and the property
of that city recently made by one of
tugs, steamers and other craft owned
there and engaged in interstate COM
merce, but looked in vain The omis-
sion, whether an oversight or inten-
t1onal, is OF no consequence, however,
as the amount is matter Of mere
computation. Mr. Dougherty is the
owner Of Sc 2-3 vessel tonnage, if he
paid three cents tax on each ton. Mr..
Singer owns 1870; Mr.. Inman 1,948 Is,
Mr.. Howard "a, and Miss Rakawsky
1-3 tons of vessel property The en-
then, amounts to 1926 tons, or about
the capacity of one modern freighter.
1t would be more Illuminating to know
the valuation of the vessels represent
ed by this tonnage, for then it could
be computed how much the state and
the city of Duluth have lost in reve-
nue. through this surprisingly stolid ac-
ton Of an unusually stolid legislature
viii any of our Duluth contemporaries
supply the information?

THAT TONNAGE TAX.

We alluded some time ago to the
dexterous manner in which the mem
bers Of the latest legislature buncoed
the state out of it's revenue on the
vessel property of Duluth The
shrewdness with which the coun-
try members were worked into the
support of measure that makes the
taxation of this property farcical, as
far as the revenue derived when COM
pared with the value of the property
is concerned, certainly shows that if
the Duluth representatives did come
from city by an unsalted sea, they
themselves were by no means fresh.

SO voluminous as to prevent it's being

ment it may be lost to many readers,
we give it entire. The further induce
ment is a laudable desire to let the

A Mystery OF Arithmetic.

1t was interesting TO read about the
gentleman who, at a Sunday school
meeting last Sunday, told the children
that in the thirty-threc years during
which he had abstain ed from tobacco.
hc had saved by that lneaTs SS,SS..61.
IL would alGo be interesting TO know
whether any bright hoy in the room
asked him If he had all that money In
the bank. 1t is one of the curious
things about economies of this sort
that they eve seen to make any diff
ference with ones budget at the end
or the year. Theoretically, arithmet-
ieally, they must, OF course, but prac-
tically they don't. What lots of saw
ing. thrifty, get-ahead fellows there
are who smoke, and what lots of total
a~bsttinerS from tobacco who can't lay
up a cent to save their lives! 1t really
seems as If the matter of saving
ey were presided over by unseen lmps,
who spirit away dimes ami dollars
from some people by night and put
them in the pockets of ether people.
Cash accounts don't altogether explain
the mystery. a man who doesn't use
tobacco may often wonder where he
would get the money to buy it If he
did use it; but if he did use 1t, probab-
~ his accounts would somehow come
to the same thing.-Boston Transcript.

Art OF Professional Fasting.

A glimpse into the inside history OF
he professional fasting business is
not without interest. A nan who has
tasted three weeks II a show called
'Wonderiand,' in the W~hitechapel
quarter of London sued the proprie-
tors for his salary. which they meanly
withheld when he was ready for a
very large quantity Of victuals. He re.
covered most of his salary, but the de-
PENDANTS offered in eviderce n suspi-
cious-looking bill against him for "re-
freshments" during the fist The ere
freShments' were only lemonade and
sugar and water, and the cost Of these:
was deducted from his salary. He
seems to have been a reasonable kind
of fasting man. Not all these abn0rm-
al performers are SO scrupuIous. What
would Wonderland have said TO the
man in n trance in Vienna, who, on the
withdra wal of the puolic for the night,
was seen by a watchful detective TO
rise and make a hearty meal OF Ger
maj sausage.
