A REBUKE TO DEMAGOGUES.

TENATOR MARK HANNA gave
out the following on the result of
~ the election:
"The result is more than salts
factory. 1t expresses a continued conf
dence in the Administration of the party
which is certainly gratifying to all Re-
publiCans and friends of the Administra-
ton. 1t assures the continuance of pres
emf prosperous conditions. 1t is a
triumph of the principles OF good govern
ment over the heresies of Organism,
which is the product of combination OF
elements Of responsibility, instability
and incompetency. 1t strengthens the
very foundations of the Government. II
is rehuke Of the demagoguery of the
Campaign Of the opposition, and a clear,
cool diagnosis of situation which was
for time clouded by their methods Of
evasion MISREPRESENTATION.
"Above all it gives to every American
absolute confidence in the good udg-
ment of the people, and their readiness
and ability to protect their own interests
by deciding Alright those great questions
which, of necessity, come up in a gov
eminent by the people"

complicated problems that have been
faced by any President since Lincoln, or
by any President a generation before
Lin coin. do not see how there could
have been any material improvement in

willing to back up man who has done
such difficult and all important work for
the nation.
81 think that the supreme capacity for
successful self-government in a nation is
clearly shown by the struggle through
which the nation has Just passed. To
have failed to endorse President Nc
Kinley would have been calamity COM
parable only to failure to endorse
President Lincoln in 1868. All far
sighted and patriotic Americans feel
deeply thankful for the way in which the
Anne rcan people as whole have shown
their good sense and absolute adherence
to the cause of honesty and national
honor.
again, it should be matter of the
deepest qualification at the way those
Democrats stood for sound money.
They, having joined hands with their
Republican brethren, share the credit
for victory which represents far more
than any partisan victory. In this con-
test for true Americansm the men who
believe in it have stood together without
regard TO locality or place of birth, with
out regard to creed or race origin, with
out regard to occupation or anything
else except the needs of AmeriCanship,
in way that is splendid omen for the
future, and that starts the nation well on

A New Idea In Rat Traps.

A rat and mouse trap which has
been patented in all the countries
throughout the civilized world issuing
patents, the invention of Heinrich
Renseler, Of Beinrode, Germany, is
really an ingenious arrangement, as
the animal never gets a chance even
to nibble at the bait, and when it once
gets into the trap it is automatically
lockedJ there without a possible
chance of escape. A modified form OF
this bottle-shaped trap, however, is
employed for catching rats and YER
min in the house. The small end of
the field trap is inserted in the mouse
hole, the tubular passageway forming
continuation Of the underground
passages. The animal in trying to get
the bait naturally enters the hole and
IL thus induced to enter the tubular
passage from which 1t cannot escape

ACUTE SENSES OF THE SAVAGE
scientific View Of Their Alleged supers

Scientific View of Their Alleged Super.
ority to Civilized Mon. .'
In his last lecture on the Senses o.
Primitive Man" w. H. R. Rivers dis
cussed the acuteness of hearing in saw
ages. In this respect none OF the Tor
res Straits natives were superior tc
one Of the Europeans composing the
expedition, while the majority were
inferior. No great weight, however,
could be attached to the observations,
because all the people were divers-an
occupation that certainly damaged the
ears to some extent. To investigate
their range of hearing a Cations whis-
tie was used, and it was shown that
they could hear very high notes. Their
sense of smell was tested by means OF
a series Of tubes containing solutions,
of varying strength, of odorous SUD-
stances like valerian and 'camphor, and
the results, while not altogether salts
factory, tended to show they had no
marked superiority in this respect over
the members of the expedition: With
regard to taste it was very difficult to
get information, as the natives, natur-
ally enough, did not like strange OBJ
jects being put into their mouths. One
fact, however, was noticed, which was
interesting when it was remembered
that sweet and bitter were probably
our most definite sensations and that
was the complete absence of any word
for bitter. For the, sense of tempera-
ture the data were very scanty, but it
was found that the natives had points
on their skin specially sensitive to cold
| exactly as was the case with Euro
peans. AS to touch, when tested to see
how close the points Of pair of COM
| passes must be put on the skin before
they ceased to be felt as two, their
sensitiveness was in general better
than Europeans, but there was always
the doubt whether they were really
able to bear pain with more fortitude.
However, the conclusion that the Muir
ray islanders were distinctly less SEN
sitive than the Europeans in the expe-
dition was supported not only by their
subjective statements, but also by OBJ
ject tests depending on the conditions
Of the blood pressure. In the discrim-
ination of weight it was curious that
these natives, who had no abstract
| idea OF weight and no word to express
! it, and who, moreover, could have had
no practice, were more accurate than a
practiced European. Finally DR.. Riv-
ers, while commenting on the defective
! knowledge of some of the senses he
| had treated and on the absence of COM
| parative data, concluded that in gen
eral the sense organs Of the savage
were not markedly superior to those OF
the normal Of average European, and
that the recorded instances of appa-
rent extraordinary acuteness were to
be explained by his habits of observa-
zion and specialized knowledge.

TRANSATLANTIC A RACE.
Africans Undergo Complete Transitio
RarA.

Africans Undergo q Complete Transition
Negroes who came to North America
had to undergo as complete transi-
ton as ever fell to the lot of man,
without the least chance to undergo
an acclimatizing process. They were
brought from the hottest part of the
earth to the region where the win
ter's cold Is Of almost Arctic severity
from an exceedingly humid to dry
air. They came to service under alien
taskmasters, strange to them in speech
and in purpose They had to betake
themselves to unaccustomed food and
to clothing such as they had never
worn before, writes Prof. Shaler In
Appleton's Popular Science Monthly.
Rarely could one of them find about
him a familiar face of friend, parent
or child, or an object that recalled his
past life to him. It was an appalling
change. Only those who know how
the negro cleaves to the familiar
things of life, how fond he is Of
warmth and friendliness, can conceive
the physical and mental shock that
this introduction to new conditions
meant to them. To people of our own
race it could have meant death. But
these wonderful folk appear to have
withstood the trials of their deporta-
ton in a marvellous way. If we COM
pare the Algonquin Indian, in appear
ance sturdy fellow, with these ne
groes, we see Of what stuff the blacks
are made. A touch of housework and
Of honest toll took the breath of the
aborigines away, but these tropical ex-
otics fell to their tasks and trials far
better than the men of our own kind
have done.
