The late President Mckinley said
5: in 1896 that cheap coat made
a cheap man, and the Republican
high protective tariff press TOOK
up. the cry and sounded the slogan
from that day until the closing of the
polls at the next ensuing election. But
is it true, in any sense? Scotch tweed,
English pilot cloth and kindred goods
bear tariff of from 81 to So yard be-
fore they are permitted to enter any
port in the United States. England,
Germany and other countries impose
no tariff duties on the long woods from
Australia, and to manufacture good
cloth there must be more or less OF the
long wool mixed with the short Ameri-
can grown wool. By cutting down
the tariff so as to meet the expenses of
government, only, and economically
administered at that, the price of
better coat than is now made in Ameri-
cawould be cut down So or 81 and
would be that much cheaper How
can that make cheap man? So With
coal; the tariff has been suspended
from that article and the price of coal
has gone down So ton. Does that
make the men who could formerly get
no coal feel cheap So with sugar;
there are many who cannot afford to
put sugar in their coffee; suppose the
high tariff on that article was reduced
BIS to come within their means, would
it make them feel cheap to get some?
And so on down the line.

Baron Rothschild, the head of the
great London house of that name, said
tsBeware of the unfortunate man." He
probably gave this advice to some OF
his relatives, and may have added,
''don'd gave it away" There are other
principles adopted and followed by
successful business men, analogous to
1t. For instance; it is good plan
never to lend money to friend-lend
to an enemy and you can resort to all
the powers of the law with much relish
to enforce collection. Don't employ
any relatives or friends to handle your
business affairs or to work for you.
Such people generally feel too secure
in their employment; get strangers
and they are more likely to depend on
the character of their work for their
security. These principles apply not
only in the private affairs of men, but
In their public concerns. For instance;
the Nevada Insane Asylum was always
O source of more or less scandal and
subject of investigation by the Legis-
lature until the appointment of DR..
Patterson, a Republican, by Silver
Party administration, as its Superin-
tendent. The doctor must have felt
that nothing could keep him in his
employment but his work, and accord
ing to all accounts his work has been
most satisfactory. OF course there are
exceptions to this rule. For instance,
L. r. Henderson was appointed Ward
en- of the State Prison by the same
administration, and he acquitted him
self better than any previous occupant
of the position. But that is the nature
of the exceptional man. The principle
Of retaining worthy servants, irrespec-
tive of their political proclivities,
was first announced in this country by
George Pendleton, of Ohio, an old-line
Democrat, by the introduction of the
famous Civil Service Reform bill, now
q law. Under this law, removals from
the great majority of positions in the
civil service of the United States can
be accomplished only for cause, and
the occupant can go into court and
force his retention. The office belongs
10 him until reasons other than politi-
cal are given for his removal. The
whole argument lies in the TACT that
che people, as whole, are more con-
esrned in the proper management of

says the blue jays have p%larlted thou

habit of burying small sqe4s In the
ground with their beaks anil that they
frequent pine trees and ury large
numbers of the small pine uts in the
ground, many of which Prout n
grow. He was walking *fough the

bill into the earth and ickiy flew

the eastern man was skepA al, but the

blade dug out a sound pine nut from a
depth of about an inch and a half.

A YOUTHFUL SCIENTIST.
Inventor of "a Wonderful Device to
Make the Deaf Hear.

Scientific men all over the world are
deeply interested in the discovery
made by Miller Reese Hutchinson, a
young inventor, who by means of an
electrical device has seemingly dem
onstrated that the deaf car be made
to frear. f.
The instrument as explained by the
inventor is an application of the COM
bined principles of the telephone and
the ~microphone, the latter being a
very sensitive scientific instrument
for the magnifying of sound. By the
combination sounds are vastly magni-
fed through the outer and middle
ears to the inner ear and the auditory
nerve.
In operation the instrument sends
the air waves against the tympanum
and forces it to vibrate, thus vibrating
the middle ear and loosening the three
vibratory bones so that they perform
their functions. 1t was the use of
this appliance, it is said, that enabled
Queen Alexandra of England to re-
gain her hearing. which for some years
had been impaired. Mr.. Hutchinson
is the happy possessor of a gold med
al given him by the queen for scien-
tifc research and investigation"
While pursuing his investigation
the inventor made a study Of the hui
man ear under one of the leading
aurists of the country, acquiring a
thorough knowledge of it's mechanical
construction. Speaking of this phase
of his research, the inventor said: 81
am an engineer, electrical and me-
chanical, and the human body is
mechanism. The perfeeting of my in
vention has been due to the application

How Old Is Ann?

How old is Ann? Itis simple propo-
sition. The whole country is now work
inc on it. and the women's clubs prom
ise to take it up. Here is the problem:
MARY is twentv-four years old. Mary
is twice as old as Ann was when Mary
was as old as Ann is now. How Old Is
Ann?"
Simple. isn't it? Just as easy as roll
ling off a log. Of course YOU will say
Ann is twelve. Then you will think 1t
over awhile and discover that Ann IS
sixteen. Then you will kick yourself
FOR Your stupidity ard confess that the
girls are the same age. \ moment
later 2 great light will dawn aud you
will see clearly that Ann is eighteen.
But before yon 80 to bed your mind
will still be full of uncertainties. and
YOU will proceed to work out the prob
lem by Algebra and then you go to
guessing.
The problem first came up at Har-
ward Football practice was suspended
while it was being worked out. Then
the New York papers took itup. Today
the papers are crowded with solutions
all different. From New York the fever
spread. Even Philadelphia awoke, while
in Chicago it has gone so far that the
Tribune has long editorial on the sub
ject. It's plain proposition. Read 1t
over carefully.

dict, and with a complacency
which is remarkable, and WHICH
reflects the Intelligence OF the

State is not satisfied with TINS
verdict it can appeal to the Su-
preme Court. We have no doubt
if there were any of the jury in
clined to render a true verdict
according to law and evidence,
the argument of the State hay
ing the right to appeal had its
effect in the jury room. 1t is a

GOOD ROADS.

Senator Latimer is building
up considerable sentiment in the
West favorable to his scheme tc
get the national government to
make appropriations for the
building Of public highways. 4
great many public thinkers are
opposed to his scheme on the
ground that it is paternalism.
We should be glad if Senator
Latimer could be induced to tour
his own State to instruct the
people with regard to his method,
for, from what we have been able
to learn from the incomplete
statements of the press the Sen
ator's scheme strikes US very
favorably. We cannot see Why
there is any more paternalism
in providing for our public high
ways than in fostering by appro-
priations the waterways Of the
country. A scheme which has
for it's purpose the building OF
our public roads appeals to our
Judgment as of as much impor-
tance, if not more SO, than the
waterways. Both are important,
but in our opinion more people,
and more interest, would be more
benefited if our land roads can
be built up so that marketing
can be fae4ihCafed and expenses
cut down.
There is no doubt, if the
general government can &c
wise a means to spend large sums
of money upon our highways the
country would be greatly devel-
oped thereby and an impetus
would be given to all industries,
and if Senator Latimer can sue
ceed in his project, he will have
done a greater service for the
people at large than any other
Statesman in many years. When
the rural mail free delivery pro
iected was first mooted, the op-
position cried outs'Paternalism, y
but the scheme was put in oper-
alton and has grown steadily ev-
er since, and we believe if the
government can be induced to
make the experiment in one
State, it will be but short while
before every State in the Union
will be knocking at the treasury
doors for money to build their
roads, and our junior Senator in
making his good roads" speech
es in the West, is sowing seed
which we believe will bear good
results.
