Struggle.
The freshman boat race over the two
mile course at Poughkeepsie, N. Y, be-

a length. Columbia was second by one
third of length over Pennsylvania. The
official time was Cornell 9 minutes 81 l-5
seconds, Columbia minutes % 3-5 seconds,
and Pennsylvania minutes % Is seconds.

the flag dropped, and the fact that hut two
seconds divided the first and last crews, and
that the boats Tapped one another nearly o
half is evidence Of the character Of the
struggle.

Never wet the hair If you have any
tendency to deafness; wear an oiled

Meyer scratch the ears with anything
but the finger if they itch. Do not use
the head Of a pin, hairpin, pencil tips
or anything Of that nature.
Never meddle with he ear if a foreign
body, such as a bead, button or seed
enters it. Leave it absolutely alone
until the physician can attend to it.
Never put milk, fat or any oily SUBJ
stance in the ear for the relief Of pain,
for they soon become rancid and tend
to excite Inflammation. Simple warm
water will answer the purpose better
than anything else.
Never be alarmed if living insect
enters the ear. Pouring warm water
into the ear will drown it, when IL will
generally come to the surface and can
be easily removed with the fingers. A
few puffs of tobacco smoke blown into
the ear will stupefy the insect.

ninistration, with some attention to col
lateral facts nd manifestations, might
tend to show that this attitude of in
vertebrate Elasticity may not be one that
could lead to good results, positively,
negatively, now or at any future time.
Senators as well as other people have
not failed to notice the eager unaninity
with which both foreign and native free
trade influences and interests have been
willing to accept the high protective
tariff policy of Mr.. Mckinley and his
friends as an alternative TO the remon-
etization of silver, which certainly would
cratic candidate. With this in mind it
may be useful presently to reflect upon
the current position of the great free
trade MugwunIp contingent of the Repub-
lican party on the tariff issue. That con.
ungcnt is strictly financial power, abso
lutely under British free trade in
fluence, and as opposed to the principle
of protection as Richard Golden was.
Nevertheless it is holding up the hands
of the administration and urging il on to
drive a ChiIesewall bill right through
the Congress and over the dead body of
any antagonism that might develop in the
Senate.
Now, anomalous as this attitude and
purpose may appear, it S in fact and
effect perfectly consistent with the aims
and ends of the combination which con-
trolled the late and promoted the election
of the present administration. Whatever
else can be said of it, that syndicate is
frlly stocked with brains, experience, busi-
possible order. Its interest in the tariff
issueis perfectly apparent Nobody under
stands better, as, a strictly business propo-
sition, that such a protective tariff as Mr..
Mckinley wants, and the House of Repre-
sentatives win pass, Will not be produc-
! tive of increased revenue. The fact that
it would operate to fatten allied monopo-
listic interests might be indlfferently pleas
| ing to the great financial ring, but the reve-
nUe deficit feature is what eXcites that
power to favorable feeling and action. In
short. the money power, although for free
trade as a matter of abstract faith, now
| wants TO seethe highest kind Of a protective
tariff TO defeat revenue, that thereby there
shall continually arise repeated necessity
| for the issue of national bonds to pay the
current expenses of the government and
the interest on its ever-swclling bonded
| Indebtedness.
From this point Of view it seems suscepti-
| BILE of doubt that the proposed attitude
of several eX-Republican silver Senators
is calculated TO promote the main object
for which we feel assured they are fight
| ing honestly, and for the accomplishment
| of which we are satisfied they W ould sacri-
flee all minor issues; and that is, OF course,
the return of national prosperity through
the restoration TO full money power of the
| currency OF the people.
