has been also edftorially assumed that
Spain's quicksilver mines recently
mortgaged to the Rothchilds constitute
the last drop in the bucketShop. This
is logical. too. But as already noted
in this column, the PHILIPPINES are fig

in the East have assured. Coming
events cast shadows. After Santiago.
Don Financiero Sagasta. who is just as

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

On the political complexion of the
next congress, the New York Herald.
a paper that has no admiration for the
present administration, says:
Republican control of the next
House of Representative seems GER
tain unless there is political landslide
in favor of the democrats on November
Sth. In the present House the republi-
cans have a clear majority over all
opposition of 56. It is hardly possible
that they will have so large major
ity in the next House. but the present
indications are that they Will control
by safe majority. They will lose a
number of districts in the east and in
Illinois which are normally democratic
and which they could not have hoped
to carry but for the popular uprising
against Organism in 1896. 1t is prob
they will gain enough districts in the
west to compensate for some of those
lost in the east The best information
indicates that there are 162 districts
III which the election of republicans is
practically assured. In 124 districts
the election of democrats may be con-
Sidered certain In five districts the
populists are sure of success, and three
more will be carried by silver men who |
owe allegiance to neither the demo- |
Gratis nor the populists. There are
districts that may be classed |
as doubtful Of these the republicans |
seem to have the best chance in
thirty seven, the democrats in eighteen /
and the populists in eight"
And this view is expressed by many /
of the more important and honest dem
ocratic newspapers in the east The
fact is that the claim by Colonel Will
son and the democratic stump orators
in the territory that the next congress
will be democratic is pure presump-
ton: the assertion has not a leg to
stand on. Why should not the people
of the territory regard this thing as
It is certain to be and cast their votes

THE TERRITORIAL REGIMENT

among other things we note the follow

the issue of the 29th of last month.
The Leader says:
1.-The people of Lexinton and Fayette
county have become fond of the Terri
torial regiment. Its membership is
made up of a splendid set of men of
good characted. and as one visitor to
the camp remarked all the men must
have been picked from the best class
OF people in the territories
"The officers of the Territorial regi-
ment certainly have no cause to feel
ashamed of the conduct of their men
during the time they have been here.
The provost guard has had no trouble
whatever with them, and the local po-
lice department have yet to meet the
first one of that regiment behaving dis
orderly. 1t is certainly a record to feel
proud of and the officers and men will
leave here carrying the good wishes of
every one with them
Colonel McCord is with his regiment
again after an absence of about ten
days The Leader a few days since
published 4 statement to the effect
that Col. McCOrd would resign his com
mission in the army, but it develops
that the Colonel has no intention of
leaving his command, which is good
news 10 all the boys. who greatly ad-
mire their Colonel. The Leader re-
porter was misinformed as to the in
tentions of Col. McCord and takes this
opportunity of making the proper ex-

INDIANS KEEN VISION.
They Can Distinguish objects Which

They Can Distinguish Objects Which
the White Man Cannot See.
During the progress of an explora-
tion of Central Brazil. DR.. Hans Meyer
paid particular attention to the senses
of the Indians, especially their sight
He noticed, as others had done before
him, that an Indian hunter can see
many things that a white man cannot;
he can follow the course of a fish in
turbulent waters and hit it with an ar
row: can spy an animal in the thick
ct that to our eyes seems impenetrable;
he can see in the ground and grass and
follow tracks IF man and animals that
TO US are invisible.
The popular explanation of these
phenomena has hitherto been simply
that savages have sharper sense than
we have But DR.. Carl Ranke. who
Joined Dr. Meyer in the expedition,
went deeper into the question. He ex-
amined the eyes of some of the men
and found. to its surprise. that there
was hardly any difference between
their direct powers of sight and ours.
What so greatly increased their keen
sightedness was their superior prac-
tice and familiarity in accommodating
their vision TO different distances. Be
sides this focusing facility. which IS
of immense importance. the Indian
has another hardly less valuable ad-
vantage, in that he accustoms himself
not to look at landscape as a whole,
but to give his individual attention to
a particular detail.
Ranke also declares that the short
sightedness 50 prevented in civilized
countries is not disease or failing,
but a salutary adaptation of the eyes
to conditions of life that require con-
slant work at close range.-Pittsbur
