EDITORIAL OPINION
Retraotion of DR.. Andrews.


From tho Boston Advertiser.
The silve, question is so much "A back
number now that the conversion OF one
OF the silver adherents attracts compara-
lively little attention. yet the most recent
of these conversions viii start plenty OF
talk. DR.. L b. Andrews, now chancellor
of the University of Nebraska, declared to
a class in the university the other day that
he was in error in the opinion which he
had held for a number cl years regarding
the output of gold; that there had been an
enormous increase since 1890, and conse-
ouent rise in prices. He said that when he
visited Colorado i'm 1898, he believed the
limit Of gold production had been reached.
lie now admits that this was an astound-
ing mistake, and that he was 'in a great
and inexcusable error" More than this,
he predicts that the heavy output will con-
tinue While he DIS not quoted in the dis
patches as having made any political appli-
cation of his new convictions, It lis TO be
presumed that this frank avowal Of amer
ror in his major prepise carries with 1t a
reversal of all that depended upon that
premise.

Queerest baseball job on record. Next
to the career of a performing bear. we
can think OF nothing that equals Henry's
status as an athlete. He Is a member

part OF the week Henry enacts the role
of a Human Sponge, soaking up all the
liquids with which he comes in contact
All juices look alike 10 him, be they
red. brown. pink, green, or yellow.
"On Friday the once great inhelder is
locked up for the squeezing out process.
Two days are required 10 get Henry
thoroughly empty, so that he can appear
with eclat in the great Sunday game. As
soon as the pastime ends Henry's keep
ers turn him loose again. and by Friday
he is carrying another full cargo and
loose deckload on top of it. His case
should be a warning to other athletes
who love TO watch the scuttles OF suds
that pass in the night"
