TARIFF IS ALL.
Policy That Does Not Help the
 People.

People.
 The currency question is not regard ed as a serious one by republicans gem orally. There are some who, like the president, think that the federal financial system ought to be doctored; many more who are indifferent on the subject, and not few who insist that there is no need for any action looking to financial reform. The senate did not think the matter important enough to justify few hours extension of the special session, and the presidents mes sage recommending the establishment of a commission was not over-courte- ously received by that body. The ad- ministration doubtless has reason to re- gard itself fortunate in getting tariff bill passed, for it is to be noted that the president signed the Dingley bill in such haste as to suggest that he was haunted by fear that if he wasn't quick about fastening executive sanc- 'tion on it it might get away.
 The tariff is, therefore, all that is to be hoped for just now in the way of re- lief from conditions that invited the concern and activity of the administra- tion. The protectionists say that the tariff is enough; that all good is bound up in the new law, and that the country can now settle down and enjoy the pros- perity that is sure to follow the estab- lishment of DingIeyism as a policy. Thousands of the supporters of the lad vance agent" insist that this new law is not what they voted for, but it is quite likely that the protectionist leaders know better than they do what they voted for. It seems to be held that if they didn't vote for it they ought to have done so, and that if they don't like it it is because they don't know what is good for them.
 The new tariff is fact, anyway. and we must make the best of it whether we like it or not. The Cleveland Plain Dealer, lapsing into satirical mood, suggests that everybody get rich by paying taxes and then bless the tar if. Don't" it says, "stop to think a minute about the necessity of having money with which to pay the taxes; that is a minor consideration. It is fan more important that the trusts should have the privilege of collecting sub sidies than that the money question he settled"
 This is the truth, ironically speaking. The problem that the great American people should now set about solving is this: How to be happy though taxed like thunder.-Binghamton (N. Y.) Leader.
The Forrest City times., 1897-08-20

Mir. Evans estimates for the three remaining schedules--wood, including lumber, pulp and paper and sundries- are not given. He places the average on all dutiable goods at 54.66 per cent. against 40.10 per cent. under the late law. The present law is the worst we ever had. Even under the Mckinley bill the average on dutiable goods was only 50.06 per cent. at the highest, in 1894.
 MT. Evans averages are figured on the basis of quantities and values of imports for the fiscal year 1896. The average for the current fiscal year will be less than 54.66 per cent, and may be less than for the fiscal year 1894, because so great quantity of the goods on which rates are highest and have been increased most has been imported in advance under the lower rates of the late law.
 The average may reach the figure given, because many of the increased and highest rates are prohibitory, or nearly so, and the actual average viii be brought down by the comparatively large importation of goods on which the duties are lowest.
 But for the purposes of fair com parison it is proper to figure on the basis of imports under the compara- lively low tariff. So far as the actual average may be less than that figured on the basis of imports of 1894 the diff ference will represent privation caused by the monstrous Dingley rates. It will mean that the people have been forced by the prosperity" law to wear less wooden clothing and more shoddy and cotton. And so of other articles of necessity and comfort.
 As prices advance all along the line the people will begin to see that the bosses at their expense. The farmers will begin to see that the duties on their products are a fraud ana an insult to their intelligence. Not a few of the tariff beneficiaries themselves who real ly desire to find foreign markets for their products will see that the Ding ley law handicaps them heavily, and thdt thCy Wodld bC IuCn DCttcI On without any protection for themselves If they were relieved of the expense of protecting others who could do without protection as we'll as they.
 In short, all but few protectees or ganized as monopoly trusts will see that the protective system is curse to them. Then will come a tremendous reaction, more sweeping by far than that of 1892. and it will come to stay.
 Some of the monopoly protectees ex- pect it, and that is why they grasp at the straw of a permanent tariff com mission. They would be delighted to take the tariff out of politics" just as it is. But they may as well accept the conclusion that it will not be taken out of politics until it is taken entirely out of existence as machine for protection and that it will be taken out in that way before very long and so quickly that their heads will swim as they never did before.-Chicago Chronicle.

Cooked by Cold.

Anyone who has ever picked up with bare hand piece of intensely cold iron knows that the touch burns al- most as badly as if the metal were red hot. Indeed, the action of great heat and extreme cold are so similar that a Hungarian chemist has turned the lat ter to account to prepare meats for food. He subjects the meat to 60 de- grees of frost. and then seals 1t up in lir-tight tin cans. The result is that the meat, which is practically cooked by cold" will keep any time. and can be eaten with very little further prep Aration.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

CATHODE RAYS.
First Glass Instrument in Use at
Queens Hospital.


Purveyor Eckhardt of the Queens
Hospital gave an exhibition of the
X-ray yesterday to j. NJ. Vivas of the
o Luso, Ed Norrie of the Independent
and reporter for the Advertiser, late
yesterday afternoon.
Bones of the hand and arm and con-
tents of wooden box were plainly
visible by means of the cathode ray.
AS final test the press men were per-
mitted to look at the purveyor's ribs
and spinal column. They were found
intact and normal.
The machine in size is known as
.'six-inch spark" the electricity being
furnished to several storage batteries
by the Hawaiian Electric Company.
During the test yesterday the current
indicated $50 candle-power. When the
machine was first placed in the hos
pital the power was taken direct from
the works to the machine, but this was
found unsatisfactory, owing to f1uctu-
ations. Storage batteries were then
put in and the result has been entirely
satisfactory.
Mr.. Eckardt has two lamps nearly
the same diameter, but one is more
powerful than the other, and is used
more particularly in complicated cases.
1t was this strong one that was used
when the visitors looked through the
black box and examined the vertibrae
in Mr.. Eckardt's spinal column. With
the glass of less strength the bones in
the hand and arms were plainly visi-
BILE, and as he moved his fingers the ac-
tioE of the joints could be clearly no.
ticed.
Mr. Eckardt showed the newspaper
men how photographs were taken with
the X-ray, and the method was in the
nature of revelation. So far he has
used only an ordinary Sx1O Seed plate
in a common holder, and the expert
ments have been highly satisfactory.
In order that he may know whether
the negative is a success and before
going to the expense of having it de-
veloped he takes sheet of black car
bon paper and a piece of Photographic
bromide paper and places them in a
thick envelope, so as to protect them
from any ray of light which might
come in through the windows. The
cathode lamp is then adjusted so as to
be in horizontal position; the plate
in the holder is placed directly under
and about IL inches from the lamp.
On top of the holder he places the en-
velope containing the paper and the
object to be photographed is placed on
top. If the negative is success the
development of the bromide will show
it.
There are a number of finished pho
tographs in the hospital made by Mr..
Eckardt by means of the rays They
are remarkably clear and distinct,
showing dislocations, fractures or NAL
formations of the bones.
The machine was bought by the
trustees of the hospital at an expense
of $40, and is used in the examina-
ton of fractures and dislocations.
Outside physicians are permitted the
use of the instrument at nominal fee.

Noise on PunchbOwl Slope.


Within the past two months there
have been quite number of arrests of
Portuguese On the charge of disturbing
the quiet of the night on, Punchbowl
slope, these arrests always following
on the complaints of neighbors. 1t
seems to be quite the thing up there
to have person arrested if he hap
pens to make the least bit of noise
after 8 o'clock. Manuel Mark, an en-
ploye at Lucas mill, is the latest vic
tim. He declares that he or any of
his family made no loud noises Monday
night. They were having a birthday
party and laughed and sang bit.
Some of his friends" in the vicinity
grasped at the opportunity to have
him arrested.

Quick Biscuits.

In making biscuits we measured one
quart of flour that had been sifted,
and added to it two rounding tea
spoonfuls of baking powder and sift-
ed them together with one level tea
spoonful of salt. We then rubbed in
one ounce of butter. Having seen that
the oven was hot enough tat about 400
degrees F. we brushed the pan
with oil and then added a half
pint of milk to the flour and
then kneaded it up quickly. We
rolled the dough an inch in thickness,
and with cutter about the size of a
silver half dollar we cut them out and
put them in the pan and the pan in
the oven. Always work as rapidly as
possible when using baking powder,
so as not to lose any of it's good eff
fects. We could have used one level
teaspoonful of cream of tartar and
one-half teaspoonful of soda if we
had wished. In either case, sweet
milk must be used. We baked the bis
cults 20 minutes.-Good Housekeen.

GUARDING QUEEN VICTORIA.
Extraordinary Precautions Taker
to Protect Her and Royal Guests.

Extraordinary Precautions Taken
to Protect Her and Royal Guests.
The public may never know all the
details of the arrangements of the
British political police for safeguard
ing the queen and some of her royal
visitors against criminals and cranks
on Jubilee day. They were on a pro-
digious scale and included the use of
police agents from every capital in Eu-
rope. Inspector Melville was in charge
and he admits that he never worked
harder nor had a more anxious time.
British revolutionists had been boast
ing and threatening all sorts of things.
Rumors of dynamite preparations had
been current for couple Of months.
The impression prevailed that the eX-
plosion by which 4 train on the under
ground railroad was wrecked, a month
ago, was a rehearsal for the jubilee
plot. There are grounds for believing
that something of the kind was contem-
plated, but the plan was abandoned be-
cause men were not found with the
courage to take the risks involved.
Then it was decided to flood the line
of the procession with revolutionary
literature. This wild scheme was given
up because there were no funds to do
business upon a flooding scale, and COM
rades in the printing business were SO
lost to proper sense of duty as to re-
quire payment in advance.
AS far as the police are able to as
certain, only one man ventured to dis
tribute leaflets. He had only just start
ed when he was grabbed and hustled
to Scotland Yard. Fle had several hun
dred leaflets poorly printed. On one
side was a jubilee hymn in glorifca-
ton of rebellion. On the other side
was proclamation signed: London

A new book of 135 pages by Marvin Warren.
By irresistible facts and logic it shows clearly
that the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever the parity of all gold, silver and paper

thing but government dues
The author holds that our financial and i'll
dustrial woes come chiefly from the present
system of coin redemption, and he points out a
way to speedy relief.
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome of the principles of the Peoples

will be OF immense service in uniting the
scattered forces of theparty and in making new
converts everywhere.

DIAMONDS FAILED.

Prof. CroOlte Thought lie Could Make
Them, Bat Could Not.
Many ambitious alchemists have
spent time and money in the effort to
produce diamonds, but one. only one,
has had the courage to come before an
audience and show how it could be DONE
Prof. Crooke lectured at the Royal
institute on diamonds. After an ex-
haustve talk on their origin, he said:
"And now l will make diamond"
He gave instructions to his assistants,
and it seemed to be the easiest thing in
the world. What you have to do, he eX-
piained, is to liquefy carbon, and then
compress it, and there are your dia-
monds.
So he placed some pure iron in
crucible. with a little charcoal for
sugar, and put the crucible in an cleo
trio furnace. The highest temperature
which scientists can measure is 5000
degrees. which is so times hotter than
a sweltering summers day. In that
crucible the heat was beyond the limit
of accurate measure. The switch was
turned, binding flash of light filled
the room. the apparatus became a hiss
ing, splitting, devils caldron. The at
tendants wore blue spectacles and
gloves. Ladies put up their fans to pro-
tect their eyes from the terrific glare.
The furnace spat out mo,teQ metal like
the sparks from squib. The heat was
kept in, or the room would have been
unbearable.
Now" said the professor, ''the cru
chile has been in the furnace for five
minutes. / shall take out the iron and
plunge it in cold water. The outer skin
will contract around the central liquid
with pressure of from IS to 20 tons to
the inch. Under that pressure the
liquefied carbon will crystalline, and in
q fortnight there will be diamonds"
The cover was removed. the caldron
hissed more furously than ever, and
and the professor turned to the audi
ence with a disconsolate look.
