HoN JEFFERSON D. CHANDLER, of California, has very clear concep- tions of the present political situa- tion, In Washington the other day he expressed himself as follows:
 ''It strikes me that when nation goes abroad to borrow it's money, denying itself the right of producing it's own money, and then by a system of Legislation keeps the creditor country from trading with it, there by losing the chance to get back some of the capital of the foreigners, there IS but precious little chance for prosperity. This seems to me just the kind of programme that the Republicans are bent upon, and if they can evolve good times out of it they are wiser than ordinary people. The theory that increased taxation is going to bring on a bet terment of existing conditions seems to me irrational. The need of this Republic is not high protec- tive tariff, but more money with which to do business. For the lack of money all enterprise is stagnant, aud thousands are out of employ ment, and yet are told that by in creasing the tariff duties the whole difficulty wi,l be solved. The peo- pie will be called On to pay more for the necessaries of life, but the Republicans do not undertake to fur nish them with the means where with to buy"

PAUL KRUGER, President of the Transvaal, has presented a claim of $8, 900, 900 against the English gov ernment for the Jamison raid. A Parliamentary committee is investi- gating the claim and meantime Eng. land has dispatched troops to South Africa, and it is believed another raid is.possible. But Germany has stepped to the front in aid of Kru- ger by sending 5000 troops to his neighborhood in Africa, and these forces will be used to reinforce the demand for indemnity and to incid- entally be prepared for another raid should England make one. The diff ferenees between England and Ger many over the Transvaal may dis turb somewhat the European Icon cert, and rebound in the end to the aid of the Grecians who are now standing up for Christian civiliza tion as against Turkish barbarian in Southern Europe.

A pead sea serpent Found.

A most remarkable specimen of a monster fish or sea serpent has inst been discovered, washed ashore on South beach, by Herbert Cole and Durham Coretter, two bieyelists of St. Angus tine, Fla, who were scorohing op the beach. Prominent scientists are unable to state to what family the thing be- longs. It's body. which is estimated to weigh about five tons, has sunk into the sand to considerable depth, but that portion above the surface measures 2S feet ill length, feet in height and more than 18 feet across the widest part of the back The hide is of light pink color, nearly white. and in the sun. shine has a distinct, silyery appearance. It is very tough and cannot be pene. trated even with sharp penknife.

Bernhardt's Lofty Aim.

In recent issue of Le Figaro Sarah Bernhardt says: "I have been exposing to the public the vibrations of my soul the throbbings of my heart, the tears of my eyes. l have willed. have willed ardently. to reach the highest point in art. have not yet attained it. have less time to live than l have already lived. but what matters that? Every step brings me closer to my ideal.

McMILL1N,S TARIFF SPEECH

Shortly after the Democratic Con- gressional caucus the GRAPHIC ex--
 pressed regret because Benton Mc-
 Millir, of Tennessee, had not been
 nominated for Speaker, which
 carried with it the leadership of
 the minority in the House. We also expressed the hope that Mr. Me
 Millin would not sulk because of the defeat of his personal aspirations,
 and we are now pleased to observe
 that the GRAPHIo's hopes were real
 ized, for the ablest speech delivered during the discussion of the Dingley
 tariff bill was delivered by the bril-
 liant Tennessean. In that speech
 Mr. McMillin clearly demonstrated
 his capacity for leadership and his
 familiarity with all the multitudin- ous details connected with the tariff question. His speech was Q severe arraignment of the bill, and the Republican change of front on the question of sugar bounties was
 made the text for some very caustlc
 remarks. By reason of his past experience as a member of the Ways and Means Committee, Mr. McMillin
 knows more about the tariff than any other member of the House,
 and therefore his declaration that
 "after careful and painstaking examination of the bill l do not hesitate to declare it the most un- conscionable effort at legislative
 robbery ever attempted upon a people, is declaration that will carry great weight with the Ameri- can people, especially in view of the fact that he was a member of the committee that adopted the iniqui- tous Mckinley bill Neither the great fire of Chicago, continued the speaker in his denunciation of the bill, "nor of Boston, nor the fearful flood that now devastates the Southland, could begin to com pare with it as a calamity" " Could anything be severer or stronger than the language of the Tennessee an? Yet it is this measure that the Republicans point to as an instru- ment by and through which to bring back prosperity. Did taxa tion ever make anyone rich?yet it is by wringing the hard earned wages of the lahoring man from him and causing the latter to pay bounty to the manufacturer on everything he buys, the Republicans tell us that they are going to bring about prosperity. It may bring about prosperity to tue manufacturer and protected industries, but it will not bring prosperity to the masses. The people are taxed enough already. It is not more taxation they need, but more money and a more equit- able distribution of the money of the country. MT MeMillin has render ad distinguished service in calling public attention to the Dingley bill, which is more iniquitous even than 'he Mckinley bill, which brought lbout such a popular revolt in 1890, md may reneat itself in 1898.

 of the Daughters of the Revolution.
 There is great rejoicing among the Daughters of the Revolution over the victory won by the independents of the society recently. when its new constitu. tion was adopted by an overwhelming vote and Mrs. Henry Sanger Snow of Brooklyn became it's president general.
 Mrs. Charles B. Yardley of Orange, N. J., until then occupied that place, but she joined the ranks of the opposi- ton party. which was defeated, and re, signed. whereupon Mrs. Snow, the vice president, took her place
 Mrs. Snow is prominent socially in Brooklyn and is an active member of the Women s club in that city. She traces her descent to the early colonial days. She is the daughter of the late David Brooks. the electrician. On her mothers side she is a lmeal descendant of Matthew Gilbert. deputy governor of Connecticut in l66l Others of her an cestors were officers in the Revolution. Mrs. Snow is q graduate of Vassar col lege. She is leader and has much tact and diplomacy. She is an ardent sui tragist, but she goes about her work in the cause in quiet, gentle way. She is also philanthropist and is known to many poor families in the slams of Brooklyn, besides being identified with number of well known charities She believes ill women and hopes for more for women from the ballot than from anything else. According to her idea, it will equalize wages between men and women. Mrs. Snow is of medium height. slender and has auburn hair. = New York Journal

The city OF Louisville has recently gone
through an experience with its bonds
which may land If in litigation, although
1t Will probably on the face save some
money. The city attempted 10 issue bonds
10 the amount OF s4e9. 900. and bids were
advertised for. a contract was made
with q firm OF brokers, but the supreme
court decided that, while the council
had the power to issue the bonds, it had
not proceeded III a regular way BY the
time the decision had been rendered the
authorities were rejoicing that IT would
turn out 10 be a very good thing for the
city. The market had become so much
stronger that II was probable they would
receive a higher price than was origin
ally offered They now calculate 10 is
sue a fortyyear bond al per cent. and
expect to make ] or per cent on the
premium by putting the bonds on the
market this month
Opposition Is made 10 this by the
brokers who insist that the contract
should be kept with them. There vas
4 provision in the contract that the
bonds are 20 meet all legal requirements
for the purpose Of protecting US in case
there IS anything irregular in the pro
cecdings. so that the same could be cor
rected.'' The phraseology Is not very
clear. but the brokers seem 10 regard il
rs intending THAI IL there was any
irregularity in the proceedings the city
