CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
sound MONEY and Politics.


From Harper's Weekly.
When last November the Democratic
party OF Kentucky split on the silver
question, and the sound money men won
signal victory Ia the election, 1t was
believed by many that the free
coinuge crszs was virtually killed, and
that the movement for n sound-noney
policy would thenceforth have plain
sailing. We were not quite so sRngulne.
While we recognized the great value Of
the sound d-monsy triumph In Kentucky
and OF other evidences Of returning
good sense In the South aud West, we
did not cease to appreherd that the silver
men, although not strong enough TO
carry Presidential election or TO i'm.
Pose their whole financial program upon
either OF the great political parties,
would still bs strong enough to frlghten
the cowRrdly politicians OF both OF them,
aud thus TO deter them from taking An
unequivocal and fesolute stand for
sound money. II a respectable
number of prominent sound-money
Republicans and Of sound-moneY
Democrats would unite In such an
open and emphatic declaration, and foI@
a national committee for the purpose OF
OrgRnilaJiOn on Stehb echie. lhe hituh
tlon would chSnge at once. IL is more
than probable that very many OF the
political managers who now think u ne
cessary TO make bids for the silver vote.
would then find It far more necessary to
make bids for the sound money vote,
and much larger bids, too, for they know
that the sound morey cause Is supported
by the great business interests and the
financial strength Of the country. When
the policy Of the government touching
the most important public problem is in
danger Of being muddled by the selfish
cowardce OF partisan wire-pullers, good
citizsns, whatever their party leAnings,
should not shrink from heroic measures
to head the ship In tue right direction
The national conventions will. indeed, be
upon us In few months. but there Is
still time for q vigorous and telling
den,onatration

This Is the cryptoscope.

LONDON, Feb. Confirmation comes
from several sources of Professor Salyioni's
invention of an instrument which enables
the human eye to see through Opaque OBJ
iects. Tho instrument consists Of a cylin.
dor of cardboard, the inner surface oi
which Is coated with material that be.
comes luorescent under the action Of the
Rontgen rays. The lens is at one end OF
the cylinder. The object to be examined
with it's coverings, is placed between O
Crooko tubo and tho cylinder. On looking
into the tube through the lens the observer
sees the outline or shadow of the concealed
object, which is thrown on the fluoresoeni
interior. The device is still crude, but the
inventor expects soon to perfect it. He
calls it the cryptoscope.

m, Bordene OF TnratIon.

We agree with an esteemed agricul-
tural contemporary that there is much
humbug in the talk concerning the
burdens Of taxation. We do not talk about
the burdens of.bslonging to the grange or
Of the nsW suit OF clothes, or Of the news
papers and magazines ws read. Provided
We get our morey's worth, we Ike to
have these expenses Now. by similar
reasoning we ought not to talk Of the
burdens OF taxation. provided we get
our moneys worth. A live enterprislng
town With taxes at $40 per $1,000 may
be more desirRbls home than dead
place with taxes only IS per $1,000.
II an increase OF taxes means better
roads and schools good public library,
better town to sell farm products in.
then the Increase is desirable. These
words will apply evsrywhers. High and
low taxes. under an honest adminiStra-
tion OF affairs. are simply the measure Of
towns or clty's enterprise and progress
Theg are, in short, an investment, The
profits Of which come back to the people
who pay them and IN nine cases out Of
ten they are the most profitable invest
ments which ths tax payers can make.

MADRID, Feb. IA dispatch to The

an interview with Captain General Weyler,
in which he expresses with great emphasis
his disgust at the condition Of affairs

small sections and a powerful force Of cav

things, he said, could not have beon much
worse. General Weyler declared that while
he might meet with momcntary difficulties

work and coaselcss activity.
IL was his intention, he said. TO close

Masterson was standing at the edge OF
the platforIs warning the passengers to
stand back while a switch engine passed,
when Donlan, who was intoxicated, start
ed TO cross the tracks. Masterson seized

This angered Donlan who, jerking him
self loose gave Masterson a sudden shove,

Mrs. v. Curley who has resided in Clar-

FArmiux in the South.

From the Baltimore News.
It may naturally be asked why South
ern farmers are better of than farmers
In other parts of the country where
diversified farming obtains and where
food supplies are raised at home. There
arc many reaGons why this Is so. Farm
Ing is far less expensive in the South
than In the North. Pork costs less to
produce, because hogs can almost support
themselves tho year round; there are no
long bard Winters through which they
must be fed. The same may be said Of
other meats. Milk and butter costs less
Tor the same reason Because Of the
short, mild Winters the outlay for feed
ing stock generally is insignificant In
comparison with this expense In the
North aud the cost of fuel and
Winter clothing is greatly reduced
Moreover, instead Of having the
soil locked up BY frost for consider
able part Of the year, the southern
farmer can be getting something out Of
the ground nearly all the year. His
table may be supplied from bis garden
for much Of the tina that the northern
farmer Is obliged Co be paying out
money for canned goods and groceries
Aud there Is a wider range OF products
In the South than In the North. Not
only are all the staple field, garden and
orchard products OF the North grown In
the South, but many other things besides.
Nearly everything that can be raised
proftably in the North can be rEised in
the South. but there are many profitable
southern crops that are not possible to

Behind the movement is the city OF
Wilmington which will, A. the proper
time force its way to the river front in

their fate is the same Ia nearly every
instance They stand for time, but
ultimately are swept away or trampled

one OF It's most important features will
be river front With facilities for
accommodating the shipping which
naturally belongs to us; and not only
that, but with yards for building and
docks for repairlng vessels of any siza'
Mr.. Jackson's opposition to the river
road is easily understood The whole
matter was up before the Levy Court
some years ago. when the gallows.frsme
bridge over the BrAndSwine creek WAS
thrown open to the public, he has
placed gates across a public thorough
f.rs which runs through the yards con
nected with his works on the Brandy
wine. He has used that thoroughfare 30
long that be has come to believe that be

private purposes. Bat. when the people
really want It. those gates will came
down. and ali obssrucsons will be re-
moved
Mr.. Cause has large interests on the
Christians His idea is that the present
harbor Is sufficient and that all energy
and money should be used In making q
wide aud deep channel from the Delaware
river up to his shipbuilding plant BE
does not think 1t would pay him to
remove bis plant to the Delaware river
front. and he fears the competition Of
similar plants established there.
Viewed from the point of self interest
both he and Mr. Jackson are right; but,
when public interest Is taken into con-
sidsration, their arguments must fall.
