FAMOUS ARCHAEOLOGICAL
10 Professor Alfred Emerson of Berks-
10y Museum.

10y Museum.
Professor Alfred Emerson, the most
celebrated a~rchaeologist of American
birth, who was summoned from Paris
by Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst,is in frequent
consultation with her regarding the
excavations which are to be undertake
en- in Greece to enrich the museum of
classical art and archaeology which
Mrs. Hearst proposes to establish in
Berkeley. During the few weeks
which Prof. Emerson will spend in CAL
ifornia the classical scholars of the two
universities are making the most OF
the privilege of discussing things
Greek with him. DR.. Emerson is an
~archaeologist by deliberate choice. He
began his preparation for work at an
early age, spending two years in Ath-
n while still in his teens that he
might learn modern Greek. As a re-
suit he speaks the language with a flu
ency equaled by few, II any. other Am
erican scholars. Professor Emerson
might be called a precursor of the AM
erican school Of classical studies in
Athens, which dates only from 1881.
He studied classical %philology in Mum
ich under the famous Latin critic Karl
Hahn, and Won Christ, the leading con-
temporary authority on ancient meter.
He also studied archaeology under the
late Professor Brunn. at that time the
foremost German a~rchaeoloeist. He
took his Phi. d. at the university of
Munich in 1881. The professor has
taught in several Of the leading uni
versities of America, including the
Johns Hopkins university and Cornell
university, While at Cornell he organ
lied a museum Of classical archaeology
which ranks as the largest and richest
university museum of this kind in the
United States. He has ~excavated q

Imperialism at 1t. Worst.

The Republican leaders are anxious,
and very naturally so, to create the i'm
preston that the policy of this govern
ment in Porto Rico and the Philippines
does not involve any departure from
the principles upon which the Ameri-
can Republic was founded. They will
not succeed, however, either by the
apologize methods adopted by Mr.. Nc
Kinley in his letter of acceptance or by
the fiat denials of Mr.. Schurman, Sena-
tor Lodge, and other imperialists who
think the American people can be
bluffed by such tactics. If there were
no such thing as Imperialism, why
should the Porto Ricans be virtually
Subjects" Of the United States, why
should tariff duties be imposed upon
the products of the island, and why
should they be denied the privilege of
free trade with the country of which
they are part? Why should their
status in such matters be different from
that of the inhabitants of otfier terri
tory of the United States of Arizona
and New Mexico, for instance? Why
should the government at Washington
impose educational and property re-
strictions upon suffrage in Porto Ricoi
Why should the Porto Ricans be sub.
ject to our immigration laws and treat.

was made that Chicago contractor
had declared the contrary-that work.
ingmen ought not to marry. The reason
given by the contractor for his belief
was that wages We're too low for labor
ing men to support families on. The
writer cited aS instance where young
carpenter secured work during the
summer at 50 day, but in winter
could get little or nothing to do, so that
he earned only about $500 year, or
less than 81 day. with rent at SIS
month, $3.50 year; street car fare say
$50 for the year; groceries and clothing
for the family, however small, would
more than consume the remaining 500.
The day laborer, working, say, 300
days in the year, gets perhaps 500
more, but must live upon the poorest
of fare If he has family of five or
more to feed. Let us figure for him.
His bread or flour will cost not less
than $50 for the year; his meat bill, say,
$50, which is less than 20 cents worth
day; potatoes and other vegetables
half as much more-a total of $115.
Add $120 for rent, and how does the
poor man clothe himself, not to speak
of wife and children? Verify, it is
serious question whether laboring men
can afford to marry. 1t is not much
better with office clerks In the city,
statesmen in stores, etc. Few of them
get more than enough for fair living
for themselves, and many can earn
scarcely enough to pay board and
clothing expenses and can not lay up
anything for the future. Such facts
show the folly of farmers sons and
daughters going to the city to improve
their prospects. AT home they are sure
Of food, shelter and clothing of some
sort. In the great towns their very liv-
ing is precarious. The superiority Of
the farmers calling is strikingly shown
in this, that, however hard the times,
however slack the labor market and
low the wages in all the Industries in
the manufacturing or trade centers, on
the farm there is always work to be
done that either presently or remotely
will pay well for the doing. 1t may be
repairing, making improvements, shell
tering the stock or implements, hauling
out and spreading the manure, killing
weeds, trimming the orchard, or any
| other of the thousand and one jobs
about the farm. There is always some
thing waiting for the improving hand
of the farmer who has mind to work,
and his work, If inteligently and faith
fully done, pays every time.

If Consistency 1s of Any Importance,
What Do You Think of Thisf

What Do You Think of This?
We present without comment two eN-
tracts from writings by Theodore
Roosevelt. 1t may interest some read
ers to try guessing what the candidate
for the Vice Presidency really does
think-if he thinks anything at all:
There seems to be equally little doubt
that the currency is only one, and by no
means the most important, among hun
dred causes which profoundly affect a
nation.
The United States has been on gold
basis and on a silver basis; it has been on
paper basis, and on basis Of what
might be called the scraps and odds and
ends of the currencies Of dozen other
nations, but it has kept on developing
along the same lines, no matter what its
currency has been.
The forces that most profoundly shape
the course of nations life lie far deeper
than the mere use of gold or silvcr.-The-
odore Roosevelt in the Forum, January,
1897.
The financial question is always Of such
far-reaching and tremendous Importance
to the national welfare that it can never
be raised in good faith unless this ire
mendous Importance is not merely con-
coded, but insisted on.
No issue can be paramount to the issue
they thus make.
If we are to prosper the currency of
this country must be based upon the gold
dollar worth 1OC cents.
So intimate is the connection between
industrial prosperity and sound ,Gl.r.

FEATURES OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Republicans Not Only on the Defensive,
but They Are on the Run.

N0puUItCHu8 NOV OHly OH Vu6 OCIGuolVGb
but They Are on the Run.
Two features of the present campaign
Deserve special notice. First, that the
reflections from the Republican party
IAN no longer be denominated tocal in
sidents. The tide Bryan-ward sweeps
over the nation and Democracy counts
its recruits in States all the way from
Maine to Oregon. Early in the CAM
paign, the Republicans asserted, and
perhaps even believed that large num-
bers were deserving their party as Il re-
suit of local conditions. They now con-.
cede their mistake; acknowledge the
detection to be national, the dissatis-
faction general, and are using every cX-
pedient that can occur to the minds OF
desperate politicians TO keep the fol-
lowers of the party in line.
The second feature Of the campaign
that deserves special notice is this, that
the Republicans now acknowledge
themselves to be fighting upon the de-
fensive. They no longer under the COM
mand Of their party generals, make bold
attacks upon Democratic positions.
Offensive warfare has become, with
them, an imposslbility. They are fight
ing strictly ON the defensive and they
acknowledge 1t.
The Chicago Tribune, heading the
speech of Senator Beveridge recently
delivered at the Auditorium, Chicago,
used the following as sub-head: He
defends policy of war;" and the speech
was in very truth an elaborate defense
of the foreign policy of the present ad-
ministration. Senator Beveridge was
kept SO busy during his entire speech,
explaining" the actions Of McKinley's
administration that he did not find time
during his entire grafton to attack a
single principle of the Democratic plat
form. Every practical politician appre-
ciates the disadvantage of fighting
upon the defensive. 1t is u condition
calculated to fill the managers Of Nc
Kinley's campaign with gloom, and to
cause the Democratic leaders to be-
come jubilant over the prospects of a
victory that is every day becoming
more and more matter of certainty.
The Republicans are upon the defen-
sive; more than that, they are on the
| run,

The Literary Digest translates a

the average decrease being per cent,

that every country in Europe was in
the same declining condition, though
to a less degree. There is still an an.
nual increase of population by births.
but the fact that this increase is dimin.

continue, the crisis would be reached
