WITH an infatuation that is amazing,

WITH an infatuation that Is amazing,
OF with the wiIlful intent to deceive,
says the Pittsburg Pot, the cry goes
out from the Republican cohorts at St
Louis that Mckinleyism must be revived
to replenish the revenues The facts
are that the Mckinley law threw away
S5O, 900. 600 year in sugar taxes and
reduced the revenues of the country III
two wears from customs taxes from 2229,
OOO. 600 to 177,OOO, 600, and did this
without relieving the people in the least
as il increased the prices OF the necessa-
ries of life by adding protective duties t"
their cost.
The Wilson tariff was accompanied
with an income tax, requiring the cor
uorations and millionaire class to pay
just share 10 the support of the govern
ment. 1t was overthrown. Had it not
been, there would have been no deficit
this year Congress was not to blame
for its overthrow, but the supreme court,
in reversing the decisions of a hundred
years. Notwithstanding this untoward
event, the Wilson tariff produced S16,
OO0, 900 more revenue in Its first year
than did the Mckinley tariff in the
year before, and has produced 1000
600 more in the IL months of this tiscal
year than did the Mckinley law in the
first IL months of its last year.
OF all the follies ever suggested, the
one entitled to the premium is that the
restoration of the Mckinley law would
increase the revenues of the govern
ment. They talk of doing so 10y in
creased duties on wOolens. Woolen fab
rics, under the Wilson law, have gone t,
the consumer at a price less by % pc
cent than under the Mckinley law. Al
Increased tax on woolens will not add t.
the revenues, but will add millions to tn,
cost of living in this country for one o
the prime neceSsaries of life.
If the Republican congress had beei
i'll earnest in desiring to increase the rev
enues, an increase of a dollar barre
on beer would have added $50, ,000,0 90,
| to the revenues.

If, says the New York Euening Post
instead of haste to put child in school.
the first six or iseven years of its life
were devoted to feeding it properly and
encouraging it in all those games that
promote physical development with their
attendant mental growth, and constant
attention to moral development, parents
would find that the advancement OF
their children when they go to school
would be much more rapid than it now
is. The age of seven is now thought
quite early enough for children to begin
the regular school studies, though the
education of the kindergarten is begun
several years earlier.

Turkish Power i'm Crete,

London, June 16.-Though the smoke
of burning villages can be seen from the
European cruisers along leagues of the
Cretan coast, the Porte has sent official
communications to the various embas-
sizes, declaring that perfect order and
peace prevail throughout the island.
Russia has become a dead weight ON anv
action by the powers in connection with
Crete. The Gar opposes any hing be-
yond diplomatic protests, which would
OF course, be as futile as they were in the
case of Armenia. To the representa-
tons of Greece against permitting the
Turks to crush the rising in the island by
sheer force of arms the powers have
made and will make no response, while
the Porte Is sending fresh battalions of
troops to Crete to be employed against
the Christian insurgents.

He Urges the Gold Men to Fight Hard
at Chicago.
WASHINGTON, June lin reply TO a
request from the New York Herald for
n statement concerning the Democratic
situation President Cleveland sent the
following to that newspaper:
II have made no figures as to the
probable action of delegates already
chosen. or to be chosen to the Demo
cratic national convention, but / refuse
10 believe that when the time arrives
tor deliberate action there will be en-
grated upon our Democratic creed a de-
mand for the free, unlimited and indie
pendent coinage of silver. i cannot be-
heve this because 1 know the Demo
cratic party is neither unpatriotic nor
foolish, and because it seems so clear tn
me that such a course will infiict a very
great injury upon every interest of our
country. which il has been the mission
OF Democracy to advance, and VIII re-
suit in lasting disaster to our party or
ganiZatiOn.
There is little hope that as "a means
of success this free silver proposition,
after its thorough discussion during a
political campaign, Will attract IA major

must be that many of the illusions in
fiuencing those now relying upon this
alleged panacea for their ills will be dis
PEELED before the time comes for them
to cast their ballots which viii express
their sober second thought. The adop-
tiOn by the Democracy of this PROPOSE
tion would, l believe, give TO our oppo-
nents AN advantage, both in the present
and future. which they do not deserve.
My attachment to true Democracy
n
as identical with the promotion of the
country's good This ought sufficiently
to account for my anxiety that no mis-
take be made at our party convention.
In my opinion no effort should be
spared to secure such action of the dele
gates as will avert party decentralization
1T is place for consultation and

SOME of the papers have referred to
the vast expenditure in connection with
the coronation at Moscow as if it were
paid by the Car out of his own pocket
The fact is that the Car has no civil list
but draws at discretion upon the Imper
ial treasury, every ruble in which is sup
posed to be absolutely at his own dispo-
sal, so that his resources are practically
inexhaustible. He is also the owner of
immense estates in various parts of Rus
sia. The swOd, or Russia code, describes
the Car as an autocrat whose power is
without limit, while in the Russian cat
echism, drawn up for schools, it is sta
ted that every one of his subject owes
him alteration"

IT Is the general admission that the
st. Louis conventionwill be the duIlcst
OF our recent national conventions.
Mark Hanna has fixed things so there is
no chance for fireworks. He has mana
ged as nicely as Quay or Cameron used
to run state conventions in Pennsylvan.
Ia In a very obliging way everything has
been arranged in advance for the dele
gates, and all they had to do was to obey
orders and follow their leader. There
has been some scrapping and free use OF
hard names in the state consultations.
but in convention it will be milk and
water. Hanna is the first great boss who
has taken a national convention by the
throat, as if it were ward primary, and
the possibilities of such tactics in the
future 10y other bosses open a new
avenue to the proves of American pol
iticians.

Spanish Guerrillas shot.

Havana, June IA On Nav 80 the
Comercio Guerrilleros of Cardenas, while
escorting funeral, were surprised by
the patriots. Six guerrillas were killed
the lieutenant. one sergeant and several
more wounded, and the rest captured.
Captain Ceterino Gonzaleze del Cam
plllo is trying to make record in the
work OF killing non-combatants. He is
the commander of the guerrillas of Celia
de Pablo Sagua. He cannot boast of
ever having had an encounter with the
patriots; but the number of innocent
men who have disappeared from their
homes since his rule began equals al
most that which is credited to his col.
league, Major Narcisco Fandewiela.

CORPORAL punishment in schools has
passed under judicial review at Cham
bersburg, Pa. A boy kicked a little girl
on the play grounds at recess. When
school was dismissed the boy was called
forward for punishment, but refused to
go and when force was used he drew a
knife upon the teacher. The latter con-
quered, however, and gave the lad a
thrashing which drew blood. The faith
er of the boy had the teacher arrested
for assault and battery. The presiding
judge said that the boys act was one
OF insubordination, and that it had to
be decided then and there who was the
head of the school. In the opinion of
the judge the whipping was not too Sc
we're. The jury agreed with him, and
the cost of the prosecution was placed on
the boys father.

BALTIMORE capitalists are considering
proposition to construct a tank steam
er in which beer can be shipped to Eng
land and other European countries.
The project is regarded as feasible, and
plans are being made for a suitable YES
sci. The ship will have a complete re-
frigerating plant on board. and the beer
will be kept at a low temperature during
the voyage. On arrival at port it will be
removed to suitable watts near the wharf
by means of pipes. As it will be kept
cold until it is sold the brewers are con-
tdent that they can compete with the
European beer, which is always warm
when it is sold.
Secretary Olney will be asked to see if
arrangements can be made with foreign
governments which will allow the sale of
American beer, and it is stated that
plenty of European capital can be secur-
ed for the enterprise if it proves to be
successful after an experiment on a
small scale.
