THE TARIFF NOT RESPONSIBLE.

MT. McKlnley's contention that the sale of $262, 900 of bonds was necessary to meet the deficit in government revenues occasioned by the present tariff law is not only heterogeneous, but in direct con- fiict with the truth The fact is that the total expenditures of the government in excess of it's receipts has not amounted to one-half the sum of the bond sales, and but for the fact that the Cleveland administration, in violation of the law, surrendered the option of the govern ment to redeem it's greenbacks and treas ury notes in either gold or silver and con- ceded to the holders of these obligations the right to demand their payment in gold exclusively, there would have been no necessity for the issuance of single dollars worth of bonds. It is also fact that the expenditures of the government from July 1, 1S90 to June 30, 1893, were less by $S9,O00,00O than its receipts, not withstanding which the withdrawals of gold by the holders of greenbacks and treasury notes amounted to SLY PIE, ,25S. The raid on the treasury gold was made not because of any doubt on the part of the holders of the governments obliga- tions that they would be paid promptly upon presentation and in absolutely hon. est money, but because the money power knew that by doing so under Clevelands s administration they could force the sale of government bonds, which they would buy up at heavy discounts and make exorbitant profits from the transaction. MT. Foster, President Harrisons secre- tary of the treasury, set the bad example of surrendering the option of the gov ernment to its creditors, and thus the republican party is originally responsible for the additional burden of bonded in debtedness contracted at the command and for the benefits of the gold gamblers and bond syndicates, which the tax pay CTS will have to pay.

Several small contributions were added to the State Herald's contribution fund yesterday. It is really touching to hear the remarks of the laboring people as they contribute their mite and state their condition. Many of them are idle more than half the time, making hardly enough for a scant living, while valuable property which they own is being sold either for tax or to pay a small loan,

And they went-the drifting trash and the corporation satellites that make up the Republican Aid society-with such others as they could induce to go with them on free passes, taking with them a brass band for fear that no one would know otherwise that they were gone. They went in Pullman palace sleepers, cheaply, of course. Fine specimens of democracy" these who have not a. thought, feeling or wish in unison with the toiling masses of the common people, and are going to Indianapolis under the inspiration and at the cost and to do the bidding of the peoples oppressors.

According to Bill Stevens interview, if the Indianapolis bolting convention de- clares unalterable opposition to Bryan, it is the orders of Boss Hanna that the re- publicans of Alabama take down their electoral ticket and turn their support to the bolters. Bill says he is glad his democratic friends have learned their lessons after thirty years tutorage.
 If Hung Chang could do himself great honor and the American people a favor by inducing MT. Cleveland to go back to China with him. China is said to be a great country for fishing, and the shadow of the presidents fishing pole would never grow shorter. Get him to go with you, Ii; there's honors in it real live, American honors-for you.
 That Bryan is gaining strength in way that is alarming the natives of the east is notably evinced by the anger and des- peration of the plutocratic organs. The New York Sun shrieks that the enemies of the gold standard are the people who do not own money" Also says the Sun: "They are the lazy, the shiftless, the dis sipated, the bankrupts, who, having nothing of their own, would rob of their savings the industrious and thrifty" Such is the style of argument we are get ting in our iiecks from the wise men of the east.

Inspector Hollinbsrger Has Evolved

Although Well Up Otherwise, Wash

There is whisper which breaks the
stiffness OF the Central Bureau. The Cen
trail Bureau is where the Washington de-

And this is the whisper which breaks the
stiffness: That Inspector Hollinberger is
about to organize "schoOl of the Detec-
tive" which will be analogous to the insti-
tuition In militia circles styled The School
OF the Soldier.''
The curriculum, it is stated, will COM
prise a course OF ph ysiognomy. .criminology,
DISBURSEMENT, teiepathy, psychology, per-
ception, observa tion, memory OF detail,
ma craftsmanship and running.
Each detective Will be required to COM
INIT TO memory and to repeat daily a verse
of the book, Criminals OF America" This
is for the purpose of extending their GRIM
iral acquaintance, and aiding them In recog-
nizlng good man. when he comes in sig ht
The course in .'disguisemeDt'' is the
one to which the detective scholars most
seriously object. Nobody believes Ned
Horn viii ever be able TO disguise his
laugh. 1t will also be a tough Job 10
disguise Rhodes diamond ring, weedon's
yellow shoes, or Cartcr's imperial capiI-
larry pendant.
1t is also stated that it Will be about
as hard 10 disguise HeIan's eight-octave
smile as it is to get nd OF the james
Creek Canal. To disguise Boardman it
would DC necessary to turn Il fire-extin-
guisher on his mustache and there is no
discovered method OF hiding the broad

acreage of Lacy.
The course In DISBURSEMENT is going
to give the central bureau Il great deal OF

Black Saki Who Parts His Hair in
the Middle.

Philadelphia, March 2U.-The Academy of
Natural Sciences has just received black
Saki South American monkey, which is not
new to he scientific world, yet the speci-
liens are very rare.
This black Saki monkey is Interesting
because it belongs to the dude" species.
T tie hair on the head is thick and is parted
naturally in lie middle. Under the chin is an
excellent growth of whiskers-very similar
To the crop found among the human kiLd,
which are denomiDated County Galways.
The tan very bushy and is about foot
long Standing upright, the Saki is nearly
two feet tail. The specimen is very valuable
and is said to be 100 years old. IL is remark
ably well well preserved
In scientific books the monkeys Latin
name is Pithecira Santanus. The animal
was found in Lower Amazonia, South Amer
lea. Little is known of the hab OF the
black Saki, which is also known under the
names of Cuxio and Mona Capuchino. 1t
lives in the most retired parts OF the fore .,
where the ground below is not inundated
by the river, and feeds on fruits. 1t is said
that this animal. unlike the new species,
drinks freely. always bending down on its
hands and putting its mouth to the sur
sace OF the water. needless of wetting its
hand and Indifferent to the observation Of
the onlOOkers.
Sir Robert Porter, the great scientist,

sHAp SHIPPED ABROAD.

| This has come about, and the Potomac
shad is now shipped across the water, as
1t is over the American continent frcm
Maine to California. But there is no such
| flavor TO the Travelled article as the con-
sumer enjoys when the fish is eaten in
the vicinit of the Chesapeake Bay.
In the idcs Of March shad makes its first
| appearance IN the nay ana the 10 wcr z ot0niac.
| But the great catches are not made until
the windy month is on the wane. Just now
| there are few, if any, Potomac shad in the
markets.
The fish are all coming from North Car
Colina waters, for they are awaiting a
Southern WIND and warmer weather before
swarmng to the Potomac. Those coming
from the Carollnas lack the delicious flavor
found in their brethren iphab biting the bay
and its tributaries.
WHAT THE FISH EATS.
The former have a muddy taste. and the
meat is not as fat and white. Some old
fishermen explain this by reason of a pc
culiar parasite found in the grass In the PO-
uoniac. which the shad is said to feed upon,
and which imparts the gastronomic tincture.
Known to every man who has ever enjoyed
5auterne.
On the other hand. the Fish Commission
have long had a debatable question before
them in the consideration OF what forms
the food for shad. No traces of food, OF any
cbara cter, have ever been found in the stoni-
ach of n shad. and the theory is advanced
that the shad absorbs the most minute
Of animaliculae.
Shad is ut its best in April and May, the
season for catching them ending on the
18th of June, as fixed by law.
A SEvEN-MILE SEINE.
The ma ajority OF the fish are caught at
Stony Point, off Glymont, near occoquan
Bay. Here seine is stretched, nearly seven
miles long. extending from the Point to
Indian Head.
Just as soon as the weather breaks the
fish appear in great numbers in the bay,
coming from as far South as Florida.
They keep right on up the Potomac to the
head waters of that river. They are always
followed by schools OF black fish and eels,
who prey on the spawn of the female, hav-
ing a peculiar craze for shad roe.
The buck shad is the wardly fish
hat ever waved fin. Some interesting
fishermen relate how they have hooked
shad, but il is only myth. If shad is
ever caught on Il hook he has been snagged,
FOR he is not game enough to bite.
The big dealers in fisb here are handling
Few shad now, but when the warm weather
arrives the markets will be stocked with
them. Wa shingtOn is great shipping u
