Mr. German and Tariff Reform.

Mr. Germans declaration in favor of
tariff reform is being severely examined In
some quarters. The man who made over
the Wilson bill thoroughly that its
author afterward did not know it. and pro-
voked Mr.. Cleveland to writing that IA
nous letter, charging 'perfidy and dis
honor" essayng to lead his party now on
the tariff issue? II want to KNOW is the
exclamation of those newspapers whose
devotion to a revenue tariff runs back for
many years.
There is it must be admitted. something
warranting surprise in free trade circles
Mr.. Germans record on the tariff ques-
ton is entirely clear. He has never been
in sympathy with the tariff reform wing
of his party. In the days of Mr. Carlisle
ascendency he stood with Mr.. Randall SIX
months after Mr.. Cleveland sent his free
trade message to Congress, Mr.. German ap-
peared at democratic national convention
as Mr. Clevelands representative, bearing a
tariff plank for the platform which, had it
been adopted, would have completely dis
credited the message. Henry Watterson
fought it and defeated 1t. And little over
twelve months after the democracy had
carried the country on free trade platform
Mr. German administered the rebuke to his
party in the manipulation OF the wilson
bill
That is all as plain as a pikestaff. The
tariff for revenue only men have never
found an associate in Mr.. German. He
has been correctly classed all along as a
Randall protectionist, and such classif1-
cation fits him today. He is not advocat-
ing it should be observed tariff for
revenue only. He merely declares for tarin
reform; and he insisted that he was re-
forming the tariff while pulling the VIII
son bill all to pieces and making room for
protective duties.
But Mr. Germans democratic critics
should be a little more specific. If because
of his record he will not do for leader next
year, how far do they expect the leader
to go on the tariff question? Is 1t their
desire that another campaign be made On
the platform of 1892? After the fiasco OF
1894, do they still think it possible to carry
the country on deliverance which would
revive that story with all of its party
chickering's and humiliation? They owe
both Mr. German and the public bill of
particulars as to just where they now
stand.

Natures Mysterious Forces.

The painful experiences of two of Mr.
Thomas A. Edison's assistants and the
narrow escape of the inventor himself from
blindness as a result of experimenting with
the X-rays indicate forcibiy that science
has been dallying with factor of the
highest potentially in the summoning of
the higher etheric vibrations to the service
Of mankind. One of these assistants has
already lost his entire left arm and the fin
gers of the right hand. and his brother is in
danger of losing his hand and perhaps his
arm as well. Mr.. Edison's eyes are now
recovered from the effects of the rays, but
Jumps have formed in his body in the re-
gion of the stomach which resist the cura-
diagnostic skill of all the anatomists
1t Is believed that the X-rays destroy the
phagocytes, or certain white blood cor
puscles which possess a distinct purifying
and regenerative quality in the circulate
Patients have heretofore suffered severely
from the ordinary burns of these rays. and
some extremely serious cases have been re-
ported. But the strange part of the Attic
lions of the assistants in the Edison labora-
tory Is that the exposures to the rays In
their cases ceased five six years ago.

Plus z and America.

Cardinal Gibbons. in a cable to Arch
bishop Ireland. says of Plus X: THE pope
is man of God" This, it is probably safe
to assume, Is the terse form of conveying
the information which is set forth at some
length In the press dispatches. The sue
cessor of Leo is. we are told. first of all an
ecciesiastic OF politics he has made no
study or diplomacy he has taken no
further account than necessary to dispatch
the more difficult business of his own baili-
wick. At home he has distinguished HIM
self for piety. study, zeal in good works
and an all-around capacity for spiritual ad-
ministration. He has travelled but little,
and knows no language but Italian. Such
Is the man who has been elevated to a post
with worldwide relations and full of varied
difficulties and responsibilities
But as little as politics and diplomacy
may have engaged the attention of Cardinal
Sarto, they will make q heavy draft on the
time of Plus x. They inhere at present in
the papal office. He could not escape them
II he would. and. of course. as he must take
them up. he will qualify himself as thor
oughly as possible for whatever they may
demand at his hands. His leading advisers
will undoubtedly be chosen with the view
of making the new administration strong
as may be both on the side of the world and
on the side of the church. What taste and
capacity for craftsmanship the new pope
may possess undeveloped is a matter for
speculation.
Cardinal Gibbons. however. has sent the
message of most interest to the members of
the Roman Catholic communion in the
United States. AS intimate as the rela-
tons of church and state are in several of
the European countries, such relations have
no existence in this country. Here the
church does its work without molestation
from the state, and without encroaching
upon the province of the state. The fact,
therefore. that the new pope is at his best
on the ecclesiastical side. concerning himself
most with the learning of the church and
the exercise of it's strictly spiritual func-
tons, is strong warrant for the belief that
the church In America will come into his
favor, and have his support in its best
aims. He may not develop as a politician
at all. and yet disappoint no member of his
fold in the atmosphere where the eccle-
siashc and the politician are seldom sue
cessfully combined.

Wall Street in a Minor Panic.

Today's developments in Wall street show
very clearly that the panic-breeding condi-
tions continue and forecast further trou-
bles while the process of REIMBURSEMENT pro-
ceeds The heavy slump of certain large
stocks such as those known commonly as
the Morgan securities, carried with 1t many
others of normally stable quality. There
has been rush to liquidate and much
heavy borrowing on collateral which is ordi-
narily not employed for this purpose. mas
much as the market has not rallied the brok-
ers have been forced to sell. or the banks for
them. with the inevitable consequence Of
facilitating the downward tendency and
Fastening the dissolution of those firms
which have been playing the game on too
narrow a margin. If the public would
swing into line and buy up the stocks
which are thus being sacrificed there would
probably be a check In the movement suf-
fieient at least for the recovery OF some
of the lost ground. But the public has
been wary for many months. having been
frightened away from the Morgan stocks
largely. 1t may be believed. by the wide
spread repetition and the explanation of
Mr.. Morgans own expression about ''un
digested securities" The public has grown
wiser with many failures to beat the Wall
street game. though there may be as large
a flock of lambs ever when the condi-
lions return to normal Thus. the unpro-
fessional buyer has declined to provide the
pepsin for the street.
There is no reason to apprehend a seri-
GUS continuation of these conditions. AS
soon as the overwatered stocks have been
thoroughly squeezed and values are once
more made to correspond in general with
prices. wholesome buying movement is
likely to begin again, with the effect
of toning up the market If a money
stringency should occur, however, the re-
adjustment may be delayed. Much de-
ponds upon the public view of the need
and the prospects for congressional legis-
lation on the currency question al the next
session Panics can never be absolutely
analysed. especially in their formative
stages. But the fact remains as an as
surance against a wrecking period that
there is such leak in the treasury as
that which. by means of an endless
chain Of coin redemptions, caused and
prolonged the panic OF ten years ago.

Midsummer Madness.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

We are at the time of year when an cpl
demic of crime and disaster and foolishness
breaks out. and this season the record Is
being pushed with the most fatal month OF
August yet to be heard from. The number
of murders. lynchings, suicides, drownings
and other disasters is appalling, and the
psychological connection between these and
the weather is one that has always aroused
the greatest interest. There are certain
philosophers who claim that this is because
the American lives all the time at too high
pressure, that cold weather has restrain
ing influence which is withheld in dog days
and man either goes half mad and com
mits follies or turns brute and commits
crime. There are those who say that eat
ing too much meat is at the bottom of the
trouble. Others, with more probability
claim that alcohol is the cause of most OF
it, but none of these explanations accounts
for all of the things which occur at this
time of year.
