Senator Mantle's Speech.

While ihe speech of Senator Lee Mantle will hardly have the effect of causing any further attempt at the enactment of tariff legislation at this session of congress, 1t has at any rate served the good purpose of making clear to eastern mea the atti. tude of western republicans on the allied subjects of protection and bimetaIlism. It shows, moreover, that the western senators who voted against the Dinaley tariff bill did SO not because of any lack of devotion to the principles of protection, but, on the contrary. because they were too loyal to that principle to accept the compromise offered them.
 The republicans of the west advocate a system of governmental protection to American interests that will be sufficiently comprehensive 10 include them all They demand the fostering aid of the nation for mining and for shipping as well as for factories. They desire to see the silver in. dustry promoted and our merchant marine built up as well as any other department of American labor. In carrying out this desire they do not intend to favor the in. terests of one section of the union to the exclusion of those of another, but to ade. qnately and impartially foster them all.
 The support given by western repubii. cans to the silver industry is in no sense antagonistic to the protection of eastern factories. It is, in fact, distinctly friendly to such protection. As Senator Mantle well said in the course of his argument. without bimetallism no protective tariff short of an absolute prohibition of foreign imports can sufficiently guard the indus , tries and the welfare of the workingmen of this country against the competition that is coming from China and Japan. In addition, therefore, to the iact that the silver mining industry has as inst claim for favorable legislation from the govern mens as any other industry, there is the further argument to be urged for it that only through the reconciliation of silver can we hope for the protection of any oi our greater industries at all.
 The republicans of the west are not fanatics on the subject of silver. They ask for that great industry, however, \ rightinl treatment at the hands ot the government. They do not set mp bime,. aliism against protection, as was charge by some of the goldbug pipers, but fo' protection. Their platform of policies If for an American system comprehensive enough to include the interests of all Americans, one that will serve to promote the welfare of the nation by advancing the industries of every class oi workers, whether on farms or factories or mines, oI in ships upon the sea San Francisco Call.

The thoughtless and fippsnt eastern wits who make of the state Of Nevada a target for their darts and arrows, might find profit in q perusal of the following extract from the report of Surveyor Gen eral Jones: "The Mackay cable and the postal telegraph were constructed with money dug out of Nevada mines by Ne. vada citizen. The largest and costliest building in New York city, or perhaps in the world, was erected with funds derived from Nevada enterprises by D. o. Mills, and he has recently duplicated it in San Francisco. The Palace, Bsidwin, Grand Opera House, the New California tbeater, blocks of stores and warehouses, and scores of costly residences, have been built with Nevada money. The Porto Costa warehouses and docks, the great newspaper, the Examiner, vineyards, or chards, stock rsnches, wheat fields, and doubtless many irrigating enterprises in California have been insugursted and completed with Nevada capital"

Degradation of Spain.

The history of Spain had long been a record of shame. The despicable charac- ter of their rulers had almost quenched the innate nobility ot the Spanish people, while the aristocrscy had sunk into a proud letnargy, writes Professor w Nj. Sloan in the April Century. h the story of national degradation at it's worst, two names must stsnd together as partners in political crime-ihose of Godoy and Els. coiqulz, who sought to mask their own base ambitions behind the acts of their feeble creatures, the king and Fer. dinand. Throughout the whole vile com. plot moves also q female hgure--that ol the queen-whose counterpart must be sought in the annals of witches, furies and hetaerae. But there were still left uncontaminated II .O00, 900 of the Spanish people. They were indolent by nature, had been fettered both by tradition and by worn out institutions, and had long grosned in the bondage of corrupt admin. istration. With the removal of the bour. bons all these sersiIe paraphernslis were swept away.
 The brothers Napoleon believed, and no doubt honestly. that pure and capable administration under modern system would soon produce order, industry, pros perity and peace, and that grateful na' ton would before long proclaim it's pre- servers and enroll itself as devoted ally against the perfdious and tyrsnnical gov ernment of England It is useless tc speculate how far this dream would have be realized but for the utter rottenuest of the instruments with which the re formers worked; the kings senility, ibt queens lust, Godoy's greed, E.coiquiz', self seeking. Ferdinand's g unrelia bility anc Murat's ambition made poor armory O qualities wherewith to accomplish be neicent revolution. Bot the one vita blunder was, after all, not in the use o snch tools: it was m the contempt fo nationality shown first in making tn, treaty of Fontainebleau, then in it's vio lstion by the subsequent seizure of Portu gal, and finally by the occupation of Spair by French troops. Declaring that mor' had been lost than gained by the event which occurred at Bsyonne, Talleyran' says that on one occasion he icily ob served to Napoleon that society soult pardon much to man of the world, bu cheating at cards, never. If this be true 1t was stinging rebuke and one whicf touched the heart of the whole matter.

4 Vicarious Atonement.

In the view of the fdddist, who occa sionally speaks with the authority of high position, every criminal is to be coDsid cred victim of heredity, moral per. vert, who owes his misfortune to his an- cestors. Murderers, thieves and drunkards all are looked upon as being abnormal" and, therefore, not to be punished, but to be like people who, suffering from nsr. vous proetration, are put into pleasant sanitariums If this pernicious theory were to be acknowledged by the courts and m business and social life, penalties would be abroested, and crime, vice, lazlness and every form of seltisbness hurtiul to others be laid on the conve. nient scapegoat of heredity. Instead of working, any of us might steal, and when decent people protested, we could coni- dentIy shift the blame to our ancestors, who, being dead, would not have their post-riry's objection to efforts at human punishment. Heredity is an explanation which is of obvious worth as a solsce to the sensitiye ~Ife who betrays her hus band, the erring daughter, or the woman who consuits her love of ease by quitting the path of virtue and honest industry but common sense is, and will ever con tinue to be, hostile to thls easy form o vicarious atonement for in.-Prof. David Starr Jordan.
