PROGRESS OF A CENTURY,

The American and French revolutions
awakened people from long established
conservatism, and the progress of the
century now drawing to a close, sur
passes that Of all recorded time. Aside
from the great achievement of eonslitu-
tiOnal government and individual liber-
ty. both religious and secular, the pro-
gross in the domain OF applied science,
especially in electrical discovery ia some
thing marvellous. In commenting on
this progress the National Recorder says
that scientific investigators like Pasteur
and Koch and Tesla and Roentgen have
pursued their experiments so devotedly
and persistently that they have wrested
many exceedingly valuable secrets from
the unwilling breast Of Nature. Such
men have won victories vastly more BEN
ehcial to mankind than Napoleon or
Wellington ever achieved.
And now the world is startled by the
announcement that science has discov-
cred a way to give sight to the blind.
Edison, the famous inventor and physic-
list, has at last partially succeeded in his
efforts to impart sight to the blind, and
DR.. Heber Roberts, OF St. Louis, is re-
ported to have had even more marked
success in his experiments OF a similar
nature.
These achievements, it 10 true, can not
lie pronounced as entirely successfnl as
yet. The subjects experimental upon
were not able to see with the distinct
ness OF the normal eye. But that sight
less persons should be made to distin-
guish light and shade. and trace outlines
OF objects placed before them, 10 in itself
n sufficiently wonderful thing.
The greatest significance, however, OF
these remarkable experiments is that
they seem to lie opening up a new and
unexplored field for the researches of
science, the possibilities Of which none
but prophet would venture to predict.
Men who today occupy the advanced
outPostS OF scientific progress. seem TO
lie struggling upon the verge Of discoy-
cries Of vast import to mankind. and in
view OF what has already DEVELOPED 80
recently, who shall dare deny tina, the
nineteenth century 10 likely to cIose in
n 6laEc Of scientific triumphs, even more
valuable to the world than any that have
made the age the most remarkable in
the worlds history.

evidence that they place party success
above principle. A true and sincere ad'
vocate Of silver--the one great question
that demands settlement by the peO-
pie before any other-caTes nothing for
the elevation Of a party to power because
il may be known as the ropnlist, Demo-
cratic, or any other party. 1.-THE silver
forces Of this nation are to win II must
be by united action, aud that person " no
says that the union must come by ac-
oepting his particular party, is traitor
to the cause. His selfish partisanship
controls his action, and the principle he
advocates is simply means which he
believes most likely to bring success to
his party. The spokesman always stands
by the party machine. The man Of prin-
ciple becomes more independent as he
studies political questions and issues.
and it is through this class OF voters
increasing in number with each recur-
ring election-that the silver question,
as well as other Issues affecting the rights
and welfare of the masses, will lie finally
adjusted.

nANNA.s CORRUPTION FUND.

Mark Hanna and the Republican ma
tional committee are considering :he ad
Visibility OF putting money into Idaho
for the purpose OF defeating Senator Du'
bois. The Washington Star has inter
viewed some OF the senators, and among
other things senator Chandler is quoted
as saying that he was not in the conf
ience OF the national committee a. to
the matter, and did not know what was
contemplated, but that it was delicate
and dangerous thing to try to control
state legislatures by outside influence.
There is danger" he said, "that such
an attempt might do more harm than
good. 1 think, however, that We can
confidently count on being able to pass
suitable tariff bill through the next
congress. While our having the forty
fifth straight Republican senator may
still be n matter Of doubt, Senators Tel
Ter, Mantle, Cannon, PettiGreW, Jones
and Stewart OF Nevada are protectionists,
and think they will vote for tariff bill
which will give the protection which the
people want. do not think they will
attempt to block tariff legislation by at
taching it to the free coinage Of silver.
They know that they can do nothing for
silver in this way, and it would simply
put upon them the responsibility for
preventing the republicans from legislat,
ing for the bettsrment Of the condition
OF the country.
Il don't count Dubois, because it 10
not certain that he will be returned.
lie has gone over to the Democrats, any
how. and you can't tell what he might
do. He calls himself an independent,
but he is bound up with the Democrats,
and practically one OF them. l guess
Squire may lie counted upon TO act with
the Democrats pretty generally also. 1t
Is not certain whether either will he re-
turned.
II guess it is true that Republicans
feel that they would like to see Dubois
defeated, but feel this way about it;
that the expenditure of the funds of the
republican national committee to defeat
him with populist would not be war
Tanted. Whatever the feeling may lie
on account on his desertion OF the party,
money ought not to be spent by the re
publican committee to defeat him or to
defeat Squire"
They fear Dubois and think that il he
can be defeated the silver combination
OF senators will go to pieces. The fact
that Mark Hanna contcmplates using
corruption fund in the legislature for
the purpose OF defeating Dubois should
insure his election by big majority, and
the manner in which such a subject is
openly discussed shows to what depths
of degradation party leaders have fallen.
a republican form OF government cannot
long exist under such influences.

The Hay Crop.

If the amount Of money that is an
nually sent out of Florida to pay for
food and forage could be accurately as
certained, the information would surprise
those who consume without considering
the sources of supply. Hay is among
the many articles for which the West is
largely depended upon. During recent
years the people of the State have en-
deavored to produce enough at home to
satisfy the demand. and every year has
brought them nearer to tho accomplish.
ment of their purpose. A com parison
of the statistics of hay production in
Florida for the year 1890 and 1895, &C.
cording to the reports of the United
States Department of Agriculture, af-
fordS much encouragement. While an
actual decreases appears to have oc-
CURED in the acreage devoted to this
crop during the period intervening be-
