NOISE IN THE SENATE,

The fire eaters in the senate have had
their innings again, and fire. and
smoke, chiefly smoke, have been breath
ed forth in dense volumes. Who could

Vociferatng that the time had come
for instantly dispatching all our avail
able men Of war to Havana without
feeling that all the facts in the case
had been looked up, Sanguilly's citi-
zenship established and that Spain had
decided to execute Sanguilly without
more ado. How different this senate
from those Of the days not SO long
ago when the senate was the delibe1a-
tive, conservative. cool headed states
nanlike body at the national capitol.
Fortunately few men are left who do
honor to that body, vino are men of
weight, Nestors in counsel, to restrain
and check the ebullitions of the san
culinary fire eating element. Now it
turns out that Sanguilly was not a cit
izen of the United States, or at all
events that nobody could show that he
was such, and further that he had been
pardoned by Spain before the blood and
thunder program in the senate had
been carried out. Even after the allag-
ed citizenship of Sanguilly had been
very successfully disputed by Senator
Hoar the fiery senators continued to let
the eagle scream, and gave evidence
that they would have preferred launch
ing the country into war rather than
lose the opportunity to air their
speeches Let US hope that the cause
of wisdom will yet prevail at the ma
tional capitol. Congress has the power
to declare war, but war should not be
declared until absolutely necessary and
fully justify. Meanwhile the warriors
at the national capitol have switched
off from the Cuban question and are
devoting their energies to passing the
appropriation bills, for the accomplish
ment of which but little time remains.
The Cuban question will probably be
left over as a legacy to the incoming
congress.

The proposed restoration of discrim-
mating duties in favor of American
shipping is meeting with some opposi-
tlon and solely on the ground that the
duties suggested will be discriminating.
Now amy reasonable and lawful meas
ure Which will restore our American
shipping to its former glories ought to
be hailed with satisfaction by all true
Americans. To restore the early AM
erican policy of protection for AmeFi-
can shipping is a wise measure Of tariff
discrimination for specific and I'M
portant purpose. It is simply a revival
of the law of 1898, under which the
importer whose goods come to this
country in an American ship secured
an advantage over the one whose mer-
chandise Was brought over in foreign
vessel. On this subject the New York
Mail and Express ably remarks:
This policy was the creator of the
great American merchant marine
which for many years practically con-
trolled the carrying trade between this
country and Europe. 1t placed a pre-
MUM upon American shipbuilding; It
developed National pride, fostered the
commercial spirit, united the ship
owner and the importer IN the bonds
of common interest and gave this
country q. place among the great mari
time powers of the earth.
THE Elkins bill now pending In the
Senate Is simply a measure to restore
American commerce to it's ancient
strength and prosperity. 1t proposes to
levy 10 per cent. more duty on goods
brought to this country in foreign YES
sells than it imposes upon merchandise
carried in American ships. To that
extent the duty is discriminating, just
as all tariffs are discriminating, so far
as they favor American interests by
increasing the difficulties of foreign
competition. This policy is approved
by our whole commercial experience; it
is indispensable to the work Of re-cre-
ating our merchant marine and it is
an essential feature of the American
system of protection and reciprocity.
The measure is in direct conformity
with the pledges of the Republican
| National platform of 1896, and it stands
among the primary articles of the
party faith To oppose such a duty
because it 'discriminates' is a good
deal like opposing protection because
1t protects. None but a free trader can
consistently do either

a slice of meat with his luncheon and
two slices with dinner, but not much
more, save that he moves into little
fiat and puts a brass plate on the door,
AS a full fledged professor his ideal OF
luxury is realized in an S-room fiat, and
all he cares to eat of his favorite dishes,
which, the training he has had in his
tutor days, it is safe to say are never
expensive. He never aspires to keep
ing horse or taking his family or him
self to the seashore or mountains, that
is, If he be dependent on his own
resources. Some professors, who gain
their dignity when young, marry rich
wives, and then the wide, wide world,
with all it's luxuries, yawns for them as
it does for men with rich wives any
Where else on the globe. For the ordi-
nary professor studying and walking
and lecturing are the glad diversions of
a life that has reached the acme OF
human contentment.--New York Sun

remarkable about a ruined city being
found in the locality mentioned but the
size of the block Of stone used by the
ancient builders of this particular city
is something that has puzzled the mod
ern engineers since the day when Baal-
bee was first made the Mecca of the
Oriental traveller. There are immense
stones on every side Of the visitor to
this ancient pile of ruins, but the three
most remarkable blocks-said to be the
largest ever used in the construction of
building-are in a wall back of the
Temple of Baal. These immense stones
are respectively GA, GO and So feet in
length and each is 10 feet in thickness,

PAY OF GERMAN PROFESSORS.
1t is Small, But the Places are Greatly
Coveted.


1t is Small, But the Places are Greatly
Coveted.
Prussia is about to increase the total
amount that she pays her officials by
almost $5,000GG0 a year. Part of the
increase will benefit the university pro-
fessors, who are Prussian state officials.
The regular professors in Berlin univer-
sity, for instance, will have their salar-
les raised about $500 each year; the
average professional salary will then be
$1,000 q year in Berlin and $1,000 a year
in other Prussian university towns,
That seems a rather low figure when
one remembers that Berlin university
has had in the last twenty years such
instructors at PreitschlSe, Virchow,
Helmholtz. Bergman, Wagner and
Dubois, Raymond and dozen others
whose names are as familiar to the
educated in Toxic, Cairo, and Cape
Town as they are to the students of
Sam Francisco, Chicago and New York.
To be sure, a professor has so to 100
attendants at each of his lecture course
es, and from every one, with an &C.
casional exception, he collects from 50
to $40 lecture money a term, but he is
allowed to keep but a little more than
half the money thus earned. Probably
only very famous and very popular
professor is able to profit more than
$1,000 year from the student fees in his
own lecture courses.
Yet a regular professors chair in a
German university is much coveted
place. Thousands of men strive for the
salaries that appear so meager even
to the eyes of the American used to
German conditions of life. Young men
of many talents and international
reputation cling to the universities for
years, supported only by the wretched
earnings that fall to tutors in the mere
hope of some time reaching that haven
and heaven of honor and dignity known
as a regular professorship. A tutor OF

so commonly and frequently expressed
in bursts of eloquence, "a great and
glorious future,'' and this notWith-
standing the fact that it has been
growing immensely and making rapid
strides forward ever since this century
opened. The population still keeps on
increasing, though not in as great a
ly. This deterioration is attributed by
some thinkers and observers to the
great increase of wealth, with its at
tendant comforts, which is declared to
be inimical to the development Of
sturdy, robust, sinewy, physical condi-
tions, such as notably characterized
the Americans who fought Indians,
