THE GOVERNOR VS.. THE
PHARMACY BOARD. /:


We referred in our last num-
ber to the bitter contest between
Governor Clough and the phar-
macy board over the formers
appointment to fill vacancy on
it. The governor appointed Mr..
Truman Griffin, a thoroughly
competent druggist of st, Paul,
to the place.
But the board Of pharmacy
would not recognize the gov
ernor's man, and proceeded to
contest tbs governors right to
select any other than the man
recommended by the State Phar-
maceutical Association, before
the senate, which has to confirm
the appointment. Hence the
board of pharmacy sent able
lawyers before the senate judi
ciary committee to argue the
case. For it seems that the law
of 1885, under which the board
of pharmacy was constituted,
contains a woodchuck in the
form of giving the State Phar-
maceutical Association the right
to name five men, from whom
the governor is to make his
selection. Mr., Munro, the coun-
sci for the governor, before. the

"Reminiscences to which no part of those who
rallied. The Democratic leaders of Indiana
are slow, but one must do their intelligence
the justice to express the opinion that ex-
Governor Matthews does not represent them
when he says that the Indiana Democracy
will make the campaign in 1898 for the sill
an ounce, as represented by 16 to 1, when
the price may be 40 cents an ounce and
the commercial ratio about 60 to l. The
good times have already proved to thou
sands of honest men that the silverites de-
ceived them during the last campaign. If
times are fair a year hence the silver
howlers of 1886 will not, as calamity howl
ers, be able to make much Roadway next
season.
The Republican next turns to the gold
Democrats 1t finds that in New England
this faction is disposed to make the tariff
the burning issue, but even the Republican,
free-trader as it is, declares that tariff-re-
form agitation can make no Roadway under
prosperous industrial conditions any more
than can silver agitation. So it remarks in
conclusion: 80, if prosperity is here, then
pity the poor Democracy of both factions"
This is not a very stimulating outlook
for the Democracy, nor does it's longtime
friend leave it in an enviable light when
it practically declares that it has no hope
so long as prosperity prevails. But it has
frequently fought prosperity.

BEATEN BY PROSPERITY.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican, in
spite of it's name and an honest purpose to
be independent, is Democratic in its SYM
pathies. Recently, with the evident desire
of ascertaining the future of the broken
Democracy, it considered the prospects of
the two factions. IF the silver Democracy
is to fall short of obtaining much of a
foothold on the edges of an Astounding in
dustrial prosperity" as it assumes, what
are tho chances of the gold Democracy in
that respect?" it asks. The Republican
sees what every one who has been or is an
intelligent Democrat must see-that the sill
yer issue must fade away under prosperity,
forcing the Bryan or dominant Democratic
faction TO transfer itself, bag and baggage,
to the monopoly and income-tax planks of
its platform, must pass out of sound
and sight" 1t remarks that the whole
case of what it enormously styles bimetal-
lism, meaning the free coinage of silver by
the United States independent of any other
nation, rests on the certainty in the long
run of falling prices. dislocated exchanges
and industrial depression under the gold
regime" If these effects fail to manifest
themselves further, the Republican contin-
ues, 1.-The end of the silver movement is
at hand"
The wonder is that more Democrats who
must see this do not have the courage to
declare that the party must abandon the
silver issue as made in 1896 and reform It's
lines These men must see that If the pres
ent wave Of prosperity shall continue a
year only the 16-to-I issue viii be simply a

THE GENESIS OF A TRAGEDY.

Every now and then an accidental glimpse
is afforded of the way the "other half
lives. The story told by John Griffin, the
man now in Jail for shooting and killing his
step-brother, opens one of these vistas into
a world little known to SNUG responsibility
that seldom gets off the main thorough,
fares and always fills conventional roles.
Mr. Griffin is forty-three years old, wild
over with two grown sons, neither of
whom has any employment. His father,
who is old and feeble; his stepmother, who
drinks and abuses him, and two step
brothers, idle, worthless and abusive, are
members Of the family. In her sober inter
walls it does not appear that the STEP
mother did anything for his comfort, and
she quarreled continually with his children
while the two stepbrothers added to the
general misery by stirring up and engaging
in family fights. When one of these came
to Griffin's bedside and fired a revolver at
him and threatened to kill him it seemed
time when he might reasonably have
sought another and more agreeable home
He did not do so because, as he says, SIM
plyJ IL WdS my ldlL6l y IOIue anu was
the only one working. My money fed them
ALL" He is described in the accounts of
the shooting as a dull -witted man, and
doubtless he is he was a switchtender re-
ceiving $1.40 day, and he used his wages
to provide food for his father and his faith
ers family when the latter was not his
own. 1t was stupid to carry such burden
when he might have been Free yet there
is q suspicion of something not quite stu
pidity Was it a sense of duty? But when
he had paid the grocers bill out of his
weeks wages and went home to get a sup
per that his stepmother was too drunk to
cook when the quarrelsome stepbrother
came threateningly toward him, his pa
thence left him, his fears and his resent
ment came uppermost and he fired the
shot that made him, hitherto peaceable and
iEoffensive, murderer greater offender
in the eyes of the law than the others who
had always been of the criminal class. 1t
was commonplace tragedy enough-in so
far as death is ever commonplace-but its
occurrence threw a sudden lurid light on
the way certain people live-and die.

There seems to be slight misunder-
standing between Mr. Joseph Chamberlain,
British colonial secretary, and Dom Paul
Krugers Transvaal government Mr.
Chamberlain recently stated in the House
OF Commons that it was impossible TO ar
bltrate the question of Great Britain's SUI
erainty over the Transvaal which has been
established by convention, on the ground
that such a course would be unprecedented
between a suzerain power and it's sub
ordinate. and this statement has ex-
cited much Indignation in the Trans
vaal. Advices from the TransvaaI state
that public meetings are being held there
to denounce Mr.. Chamberlains state
ments and during a discussion of the mat
ter in the TransvaaI Congress several
members declared that British suzerainty
did not exist there ar. Chamberlain may
have trouble in establishing it.

Professor Moore, chief of the United
States Weather Bureau, read a paper be-
fore the British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science at Toronto on Mon
day in which he confirmed the reports
regarding his kite-fying experiments by
saying that by January next he hoped to
have established not less than twenty sta
tons between the Rocky mountains and the
Atlantic ocean where observations would
be taken daily of the state of the weather
conditions one mile from the surface of the
earth. I'VE shall them said Professor
Moore, construct a chart from the high
level readings obtained at these twenty
stations and study the same in connection
with the surface chart made at the same
moment Being thus able to map out the
vertical gradients of temperature pressure
and wind velocity as we'll as the horizontal
distribution of these forces, it is hoped to
better understand the development of
storms and cold waves and eventually i'm
prove the forecasts of their future course,
extent and rate of movement This will
be a new departure in meteorological sci
ence, and will make the United States
Weather Bureau more distinctly even than
it is now the best in the world

It appears that the City School Board
intends TO levy the fun limit of the 10
per cent. tax authorized by the compulsory
school law. for the purpose of carrying out
its provisions. This levy will yield a rev.
onue of about $l15, 600, the bulk of which the
board intends, it appears, to use in the
erection of new school buildings Section s
OF the law distinctly authorizes the erec-
tion If necessary of a parental home for
ineoTrigible or truant children" but the
law makes no mention of the erection of
any other kind Of school building. Section
says: For tho purpose of defraying the
increased expenditure necessary for the
carrying out of this act boards of school
commissioners are hereby empowered to
levy an additional tax not exceeding 10
cents on the hundred dollars" 1t is a close
question whether this general provision
gives the School Board authority TO levy
a tax for the erection of any other school
building than the one above referred to.
