The New Tariff.

The Dingley tariff bill is now the
DingIey tariff law, having passed both
branches of Congress and received the
signature of President Mckinley. The
Republican party and the country
which has placed it in power are both
to be congratulated. Saturday was
the happiest day the land has seen
since the two that witnessed respect
lively the election and the Inauguration
of Mr.. Mckinley.
The Journal publishes this morning,
schedules, arranged in alphabetical or
der. of the rates of duty fixed by the
Dingley bill compared with those of
the Wilson German bill. 1t is com
pact and comprehensive, something
that should be studied now and kept
for future reference.
The Wilson German free trade eX-
pertinent was a prolific cause of con-
stantly increasing deficit and of hard
times such as the country never knew
before. The new tariff combines the
sound Republican doctrine of the high
est revenue with the wisest protection,
and undertakes the tremendous task
of pulling the country out of the slough
into which Democratic. misrule has
plunged it. Already the industries of
the land feel the stimulus; confidence
is restored: business revives; prosper
ity returns, and happier and better days
for all are coming. Not at once can
all the disastrous effects of the late
Democratic administration be effaced,
but the work is we'll begun. The
speedy enactment of the Dingley bill
will do wonders toward undoing the
Organism.
The new tariff is not a sectional
measure. The trainers have made
large concessions to those parts of the
country, whose representatives, held in
line by The free trade lash of the party,
voted against the bin and against their
own interests. The new tariff does not
involve any degree of party periidy
and dishonor." Every Republican is
justly proud of the work of it's repre-
sentatives in Congress, and can honest
ly defend the bill against all those at
tackS which Democrats feel obliged to
make merely because they are Dem
ocrats 1t embodies the legislation to
which the Republican party is pledged.
and which the country needs.

To Reach Physical Perfection.

r Americas great philosopher once said
that the education of boy should be-
gin a century before his birth. A So
ciety appears in New York which pro-
poses to make men and women of the
future perfect creatures physically by
reforming their great grandparents
now. The object is a good one; the
means will bear investigation.
The leader of the new society is Mrs
Montgomery McGovern, recently made
a bride, who is described as most
charming young woman with very ad-
vanced ideas. She and her husband are
at the head Of the new Association for
the Perfection of the Human Race"
which now claims a membership Of
several hundred and is planning an ex-
tension Of it's field Of operations.
The ideas of Mrs. McGovern appar-
emily have been embodied in a platform
of nine planks, which are set forth in
the New York papers They certainly
are startling enough. whether they are
advanced or not. The organization
with that imposing name announces in
a preamble that it intends to secure the
practical realization of its aims by
bringing pressure to bear on Congress
and the state legislatures.
1t demands, first, that all deformed,
idiotic and constitutionally diseased
children shall be peacefully electro
cuted." The sixth plank states that
"all insane persons or persons of I'M
sound mind also, are to be electro
cuted, but nothing is said about the
peacefulness Of the operation in such
rigid Interpretation, probably would
decimate the voters of this country if
an attempt were made to enforce it.
Imagine the awful slaughter which
would be wrought by law requiring
the execution of "all persons of unsound
mind" in an exciting presidential cam
paign.
But the bloodthirstiness Of that So
ciety for the promotion of perfection
does not stop here. Another plank pro-
vides that whenever any person loses
several of his senses he shall be selec-
trocuted. Old persons are to be pro-
vided for by pension system SO long
as their faculties are unimpared, but
the end of it all is the electrical chair,
unless some other form of death merci-
fully intervenes.
The ninth plank demands that mar
riages shall be entered only ION a COM
mon sense basis-men ard women must
marry their opposites." Love has
| nothing to do with matrimony, accord
ing to Mrs. McGovern's code She ex-
| plains that love is 'only an accident.
anyway" and that it "can be produced
| artiffcally.'' Another clause pledges
all members to eschew tight shoes,
laced corsets. long dresses. the wearing
of trousers by man and woman, high
| collars and uncomfortable hats"
| In taking a stand for the abolition of
| trousers the society evidently makes a
| bid for the support of the new woman,

Memories of the War of the Rebellion
