the simple process of an ipse dixit.
Chicago's 500 said: Let there be blue
BLOOD and there was blue blood"
In this close corporation society
there will be no rigid rules excluding
persons in trade" This will permit
of the entrance into this society of the
cadets of blue-blooded families. and is
an evidence that Chicago society
doesn't completely frown down upon
that city's greatest claim to distinction.
II Chicago were a genuinely aristo-
cratic city, cadets Of good families
would never go into trade but would
take orders (this does not mean to go
upon the road, though it would gen.
orally be so understood in Chicago), or
enter the army, or one of the learned
professions.
1t is pleasing to know that away out
in the west on the shores of Lake
Michigan there is as genuine an aris-
tocracy as there is on Manhattan
island. Soon it will be impossible to
say that Americans worship the al

TARIFF AND PROFITS.

At the annual meeting of the II. p.
Clafin company in New York, the
president said: Our net profits for
the six months were $103, 402.72, as
against 1859, 1888 for the corresponding
period of 1895. Whenever this country
gets d tariff which will produce suffi-
Gent revenue for the needs Of the
government, and will at the same time
intelligently encourage domestic indus
tries, we may expect return of gen
eral prosperity Meantime we think
there Will be a moderate recovery from
the present unreasonable depression"
Just how the tariff question should
affect this particular company is diff
cult TO see. 1t is a mercantile concern,
not engaged in manufacturing. Its
profits for six months in 1886 were
1855, S7O.67 less than for the correspond
ing period in 1895 The same tariff
conditions existed then that existed in
1896, SO it is hardly fair to lay the fall
ing off in profit to the tariff.
In the past appeals in behalf Of tariff
legislation have generally come from
manufacturers and producers and not
l4OUl LlOSc 6i4SdSNQ IL 44-lpO4 tAA15 anu
merchandising. Now, undoubtedly, if
any big importers, well stocked up with
goods, can get the tariff on the goods
they have on hand raised so that they
can raise the price on their goods all
the way from % per cent to so per
cent, the tariff VIII be q great benefit
to them. But what will it be to the
merchants who are not stocked up
and to the consumers? Hardly
benefit.
There is need of more revenue there
is no doubt, but it is not imperative
that it be raised by tariff. But the
ills of the country lie so deep that
tariff legislation will hardly cure them.
Eventually the people will realize this
fact and apply the proper remedy.

ARE WE BECOMING INDIANsP

Professor Frederick a. Starr, of the
| University of Chicago, has come 10 the
conclusion that the American people
are turning into Indians. He says:
I do not wish TO be sensational, but
1 conscientiously believe the American
nation as whole is turning into In
dams. l found nothing which went
to prove contrary theory. My in
vestigations were wholly conducted
among the Germans of Pennsylvania,
who originally came from the Palatin
ate. The great trouble I encountered
was the inability to secure portraits
of any of the people. When they came
over TO this country $50 years ago they
were not in condition to pose for por-
trait painters, and as a consequence L
will have to rely on what information
1 can gather from Germany. From
Pennsylvania 1 went to Gay Head,
Mass. to there study the mixed races.
My Investigations were very satisfac-
tory in every way"
When a learned professor of a great
university makes such a statement as
that, the lay mind is very apt to ask,
Why does great university have such
a professor? His inductiOns are made
chiefly from what he observed among
the Germans Of Pennsylvania. 1t is a
very easy matter to trace resemblance
in facial features among different peo-
pies. But how would Professor Starr
account for the differences existing
among the various tribes of Indians?
They are as marked as can be. The
Germans of Pennsylvania among whom
he made most of his observations have
not been in the country nearly so long
as the people of Massachusetts or of
Virginia, yet these latter have not be-
come assimilated to the Indians in any
respect. 1t is a common observation
the world over that people who live in
a mountainous country, who are prac-
tically mountaineers. are generally
lean and lank On Professor STAIRS
theory the Arabs of Africa should all
have become negroes.
The strongest evidence there is for
Professor STAIRS theory is the fact
that some of the more civilized nations
of. Europe declare that the American
people are nothing but Indians at best.
1t really looks as though the professor
had q great desire TO become sensa-
tional Notwithstanding his protesta-
lions to the contrary How differently
he proclaims his theories from the
manner in which Darwin and Wallace !
proclaimed theirs

WILL SHERMAN CONTINUE TO
WOBBLE?

1t is definitely settled that Senator
John Sherman is to be secretary of
state under the next administration.
To many he viii seem hardly the man
for the place; he is too wobbly. wob-
bling being one of his chief character
istics.
But the certainty that he will direct
the nations foreign policy makes any
thing he may say on our foreign rela-
tons of Importance, especially when
it has reference TO Cuba. He has been
talking on the subject of Spain and
Cuba. and talking in a very conserva-
tive manner. He says he is in favor of
non-interference with the affairs of
Cuba; that about all We want to do
is to buy products Of the island and
sell her all the goods we can. He does
not believe there is any reliable news
coming from the war, and says we have
no knowledge of what our represent
alive, Mr.. Lee, reported to the presi-
dent except as might be inferred from
the message, and one can readily un-
derstand that it might be embarrassing
TO him in his relations with the Span
ish authorities at Havana if the full
text of his report were made public
He emphatically says we do know that
the reports from Cuba, published in
the newspapers every morning, are
very unreliable.
This is all very true. but what has
wrought so great a change in him
since the senate committee on foreign
relations. of which he is chairman, re-
ported the Cameron resolution in favor
of Cuban independence? That was on
December u, 1896, less than a month
ago. What knowledge has he now that
he had not then? He has simply sur
rendered 10 public sentiment on this
Cuban question. having in no sense
formed it.
What he now says on the subject,
particularly the conservative tone of it,
is eminently proper in one who ex-
poets TO have to deal with it in the
near future. 1t is also the way in
which he should, as chairman of the
foreign relations committee, have
treated it when the Cameron resolution
came up.
The trouble with Senator Sherman
as secretary of state is apt to be a
continual wobble and not lack of abil-
ity.

CONTROL OF PUBLIC FUNDS.

This city is suing its treasurer for
S1S, 1926. 1t is very doubtful if it
is ever recovered. The treasurer and
ms bondsmen are both fighting the
suit.
This money, it will be remembered,
was deposited by the city treas
urer in y rotten bank that
failed some months ago. There is
reason to believe that the treasurer
knew tie bank was not considered
sound, though it would not be just to
infer that he knew how thoroughly
rotten the concern was.
IN the past those who have had
charge of public moneys have placed
them in such banks as they chose, and
it has been more or less of a general
belief that often public money has
been placed in this or that bank for a
consideration to those having control
of it. Be this as it may, there should
be law passed directing where public
moneys shall be deposited, or confer
ring the power to so direct upon the
county commissioners in the case of
county funds, and upon city councils in
the case of municipal funds Where
state funds shall be deposited might
be left to the governor, state treasurer
and secretary of state to say The
law undertakes TO throw every safe
guard possible around the payment of
public moneys upon warrants, Youch-
ers and the like, and requires the
strictest kind OF an accounting, but it
takes no heed that public moneys shall
be kept in a place of safety. OF course
those having control of these moneys
are required to give bonds. but the
bondsmen are not a sufficient safe
guard; and while they are generally
good for the liability they assume.
often that liability has to be estab-
lished at the end of a long law suit.
This matter of depositing public
moneys is one deserving the attention
of the legislature 1t should be an
easy matter to enact some legislation
that would be a very great improve
ment upon the present system.

CH1cAGo's THREE HUNDRED.

Chicago, the rival of New York in
size, is to be the rival of that citv in
society. The former city, with a larger
population, is to confine its society to
800 persons; the latter place has 400.
Why this discrimination in numbers is
hard to tell. but it is proper rule that
in an exclusive set the smaller the
number the greater the exclusiveness.
a Chicago paper says that one of the
essentials to entry to this society will
be blue blood, with or without strain
of wealth This and the question of
lineage have been veXing problems for
the council that has the matter under
control Genealogical records and
coats Of arms have been carefully ex-
amined, and wherever bars or crooked
branches have been discovered the
wedding out process has been sharply
applied. Purchased crests are not
scrutinized too severely, but the pos
SCISSORS are required to have some
claims to ancestry of worth. Where
exceptional family and original bear
ings are credited to man he is placed
among the patriarchs and one of the
so has to give way.
Blue blood is q splendid thing, far
superior to good red blood. which COM
mon people, cattle and cats have. Just
how blood becomes blue it is diff
cult to say. In the case under con-

THE COUNTY WARRANTS.

] \ question has arisen whether the
| late county commissioners incurred an
Indebtedness for the county beyond the
limit allowed by law. 1t is a most inn
| portant matter in many respects. If
the debt limit has been exceeded the
warrants in excess of the limit are il
legal and unless validated by the leg
islature cannot be paid. If they are
not validated. if they be Illegal, they
must be repudiated. The alternative
in either case is bad.
Nothing so Injuries the credit of a
city, county or state as reputation,
+ and it should never be resorted to ex-
cept in extreme, aggravated and I'M
aTOidable cases. On the other hand,
il those in control of public finances
are permitted to incur an Indebtedness
in excess of the limit fixed by law and
reliance is had upon the legislature TO
validate the excess, then there is no
check whatever upon extravaganza;
in fact, the door TO it IS thrown wide
open. If all this can be done, then
constitutional provisions would seem
TO be so much waste lumber. If there
have been issued warrants beyond the
amount authorized by law, there might
be some question whether it is within
the power of the legislature TO validate
them, Tor section of article xiv of the
state constitution says no debt in eX-
cess of the taxes for the current year
shall be created by any county" etc.
The question is very important
one and affects the financial honor as
we'll as interest of the people of the
county. a test case should be brought
in the courts that there may be ju-
dicial adjudication of the matter.

bowels. They should be needed at

Oh. like a queens her happy tread,
But. oh. at last. when all is said,
Her woman's heart for me-
We wandered where the river cleaned
Meath oaks that unused and pines that

So proud, and pure, and free.
All heaven drew nigh to hear her sing,
When from her lips her soul took wing;
The oaks forgot their bordering,
The pines their reverie.
And oh, her happy. queenly tread,
And Oh, her qUeenly golden head
But oh, her heart, when all is said
