Ralph Perry, a Portland, Mich, young
man, is gradually growing blind from
some disease which battles the skill OF
the occulists. He is determined not to
become a state charge, and has invested
all his available capital in carpet loom,
ON which he will learn to weave carpets
during the few months before his sight
shall be blotted out in the hope of being
disappearing during his future years

A TYp.caI American

Whether the president of the United
States is lifted into his eminent position
by one party or another, and no matter
what his policy is in the administration
of public affairs, as the highest execu-
tive of nation like ours, he must be first
of all a typical American. loyal to the
highest concepts of liberty, justice and
humanity as proclaimed in the Declara-
ton of Independence and in the consti-
tuition and as still further developed in
our times by virtue Of higher knowl-
edge and greater love to man.-Jewish

THE PRESIDENT TO CONGRESS

When Mr. Mckinley framed the act of
1890 he insisted that sugar be placed
upon the free list, so as to. decrease the
revenue by s55, 600. 900 annually, and pro-
tect the home industry by paying a
bounty to sugar producers; but now he
is willing to add more than 100000, 900 an
nually to the tax imposed upon sugar by
the Wilson bill. By hiso admission
Mr.. Mckinley repudiates the position
he took in 1890, and accepts the Demo-
cratic theory that consumers of sugar
should contribute directly to the main
tenance of the government For nearly
all the other schedules he is willing to
accept a general tariff bill on the basis
of about 60 per cent of the duties levied
by his bill of 1890.
The president doubtless states fact
in representing the deficit for the fiscal
year ended June S0th, 1894, as $40, 900 600;
but he makes wrong application of it
when he charges the deficit to an in
competent Democratic administration
for his own tariff schedules were in full
operation that fiscal year. All the Dem
ocratic administration did or could do
was to collect such revenues as the NC
Kinley bilr' provided for. Mr.. McKin-
ley belittles the office of president of the
United States when he colors fact to
make it appear other than what it really
is.
Fifty millions of the $262, ,0O0, 900 bonds
sold by the Cleveland administration
were prepared for issue by the Harrison
administration, but not to raise money
to defray the expenses of the govern
ment. as President Mckinley intimates
The bonds were sold for gold to replenish
the gold reserve. The Sherman silver
purchase BILL which was an annex to
the Mckinley tariff bill, provided for
the issuing of little over $3.50 900, 900 of
treasury notes, redeemable in gold on
demand to pay for bullion silver. When
these notes were presented at the
treasury for redemption they were i'm
mediately re-issued and sent out into
the currents of trade and commerce,
where they were picked up and pre-
sented to the treasury to be again re-
deemed in gold, thus forming an END
less chain" through the treasury and
hauling out gold. This, President Nc
Kinley should know, and if he does
know it, he knows that not bond was
sold to raise money to provide for Short
~ in revenue receipts.
But President Mckinley admits that
ere was no connection between the
ond sales and the treasury deficits,
when he tells congress that 1T may be
urged that even if the revenues of the
government had been sufficient to meet
all its ordinary exlVnses during the
past three years, the gold reserve would
demands upon it. ana that bonds would
necessarily have been issued for its
repletion. Be this as it may, it is clear
ly manifest without denying or affirm
ing the correctness of such a corclu-
sion. that the debt would have been de-
creased at least the amount deficient
and business confidence immeasurably
strengthened throughout the country

JAPANESE IN HAWAII

The Hawaiian government is in a

tracts Last year a representative of

ly every steamer from the Orient has
brought over from 900 to 1000 students. "
AS there is no demand at this time for
extra labor, the suspicion has arisen

force the rights of her subjects when oc-
casion arisss. The recent cen sus shows
that there are now upon the islands "a
900 japanese, while there are but 81 ,00C
natives. Ire Japanese government has
practically an unlimited supply to draw
from, ard a few shlploads of students
would bring a balance of power. Other
powers would undoubtedly insist upon
having something to say in the prem

nearly so bashful as she used to be. She
is looking for other conquests besides
