WHEN We LOSE OUR LITTLE ToEs.-
Science has proclaimed that the little
toe OF the human foot, by process OF
evolution-outward or inward-will
in the course of time become extinct,
a. the tail has fallen from the ape, &C.
cording to Darwin's Responding theory
and civilization possess foot that
may be crammed into a shoe several
sizes smaller than the fashionable
numbers now, without fear of ingrow-
ing nails, corns or bunions. Sir John
Murray was the propagation of this
alarming forecast, and DIR. Shady, OF
New York, having carefully gone over
the Investigations of his English com.
peer, verifies his conclusion that the
fifth toe will have wholly disappeared
in, say, 10000 years from now. The
prediction is none the less sure, be it
noted, from the prolonged time re-
quired for Nature her wonders to per-
form.

Vale. Porch Column Factory.

The Olympia Development Company
manifest proper spirit in offering to
refund the money subscribed by the
people of this city for erection of
Porch Column Factory, year or more
ago. owing TO the failure of the Stark
company, at Wheeling, Va, to keep
their promises. 1t is but right that it
should allow a withdrawal Of the
money deposited on stipulations that
have long since lapscd from delay, rs
it requires more confidence than ordi-
narily people possess to accept the
many excuses made to secure another
extension of time. First it was fire,
that burnt their eastern factory, and
they had to unload the machinery
designed for the factory here, to re-
build their plant at Wheeling; then,
when they got the new machinery
made, they found it was not adapted
for our timber, and now Mr.. Stark is
coming tsometime) to ascertain Just
what is required before new machinery
is constructed. What any subsequent
delays may result from, we have no
means OF knowing, but we confess that
the ungainly name of Porch Column
Factory, made the writer suspicious of
the venture from the time of its incep-
ton. Porch columns are articles not
generally kept in stock in the west,
and unless large export trade can be
developed and standard sizes and
styles adopted, SO that architects may
design buildings to fit the columns, we
fail to to see just how regular trade
may be established. Had it been ga
ble-ends, or mansard roofs, the case
might have been different, but porch
columns are rather too much for the
credulity OF the Old Settlers OF the
Far West.
But, as we have said, nobody blames
the Olympia Development Co. for be-
coming promoter of an enterprise that
seemed to be honestly presented and
of considerable promise, and it only
required the profier now made to con-
firm the belief that, at the worst, they
have been as much victimized as those
who took stock in he venture on their
endorsement.

1t " Hung Fire. F"

it has taken the P.-I. two weeks to
frame its reply TO the STANDARDS pro-
test against the adoption of the fakir
habit OF using misleading terms, as it
had done in previous issue by char
acterizing the Democratic attitude on
the tariff issue as free trade" The
STANDARD honestly thought that it
was, or should be, beneath the dignity
OF leading journal to use such popu-
lIstlc terms as free trade" and sound
money as if any tariff could he free
trade 10y imposing duty for revenue
with incidental protection" as often
stated in the party platforms of the
Democratic party, or that any money
could be unsound, from the fact that
one half the redemption money was
deprived Of its legal tender function,
while still passing at its par value
from the necessity Of having an ample
supply OF subsidiary coin in trans
acting the enormous business of the
country. There were times when this
alleged unsound currency has borne a
premium in the larger cities, for con-
venlence in making change, even after
the law had dealt it severe blow by
depriving it-partially, when stipulat-
ed in contract-of its fiat power.
Now we contend, in reply to the
P.-I.s charge that we have misquoted
the Democratic platform to sustain on
position, that it is absolutely false.
The charge of "misquoting" is now
resolved in an omission, which is true,
but the context, we maintain, was bv
no means essential to make clear the
position held by the Democratic party.
Let us see, our quotation was:
We favor a tariff limited to the neressi-
ties OF the government economically adj
ministered, and so levied as not to dis
crlminate against any industry, class or
section, to the end that the burdens of
taxation shall be distributed as equally
as possibly.
And here are the words omitted,
which the P..L. says is "a sneaking
and pitiful evasion" and perverting
and mutilating the platform:
We denounce protection as the rob.
berry OF the many to enrich the few, and
we favor tariff etc.
A second time, be it noted, the FL.
has lost its dignity in doing just what
it accuses the STANDARD Of doing
perverting language. our language. Is
there any "frce trade" in the avowed
support of tariff $50 levied as not to
discriminate against any industry,
class or section? Does the denunci.
alton of robbery" tariff, " designed
to enrich the few at the expense of
the many" change, add to, or detract,
from the words we quoted to check the
arrogance in expression OF our stren-
uous and impetuous neighbor? Was
it our fault that he ran against buzz
saw when he attempted to wipe up
our protest as mere sawdust? Nav.
verify.
Oh, no; brother P.-L., we are neither
ashamed Of the platform" nor econ
stitutionally unfair" in this matter.
You were simply caught off guard,
and have taken a whole week or more
to reply only in abuse and invective,
which reminds us only of the travail
OF the mountain ending in the birth
OF a mouse.

ton steamer to the one owned at Shell
ton, called upon leading mercantile
establishment to exhibit his samples
and solicit an order. He had barely
time to bang his sample-case down on
the counter, when the proprietor de-
manded, "How and when did you
come to town." The answer OF the
unsuspecting commercial traveller, was,
OF course, in accord with the facts ::
" BY the Marian, half an hour ago."
Well" responded til. merchant,
you can close your case; you'll get
no order here" Crestfallen, the drum
mer departed, while the merchant ran
to his telephone and announced to the
only other firm carrying the line Of
fered, Beware! the foe assails! Look
out for a man with a hang dog look
and grip, who has just come in by
our ruthless enemy, the opposition
boat" and the poor drummer found
every door closed in his face, every
heart turned to marble, every eye with
a stony glare protruding, for no greater
an offense than unwittingly travelling
on boat that was not owned by Shell
