Position on the Tariff.

The most important part Of the let
ter emphasizes the determination of
the Republican party to stand pat" on
the tariff On this subject it says:
we stand unequiyocally for a protec-
tive tariff and we feel that the phe-
nomenal industrial prosperity which
we are now enjoying is not lightly to
be jeopardized, for It would be to
the last degree foolish to secure here
and there small benefit at the cost
of general business depression. But
whenever a given rate or schedule be-
comes evidently disadvantageous to the
nation because of the changes which
go on from year to year in our condi-
lions, and where it is feasible to
change this rate or schedule without
too much dislocation of the system,
it will be done: while general revis-
ion of the rate and schedules will be
undertaken whenever it shall appear
to the sober business sense of our peo-
pie that on the whole the benefits to be
derived from making such changes will
outweigh The disadvanta ges; that is,
when the revision will do more good
than harm.

As to the Trust Question.

Let me add one word of caution,
however. The question of revising the
tariff stands wholly apart from the
question of dealing with the so-called
'tIusts-that is, with the control of
monopolies and with the supervision
of great wealth in business. especially
III corporate form. The only way in
which it is possible to deal with those
trusts and monopoles and this great
corporate wealth is by action along the
line of the laws enacted by the present
congress and its immediate predeces-
sors. The cry that the problem can
be met by any changes in the tariff
represents, whether consciously or I'M
consciously, an effort to divert the pub
lie attention from the only method of
taking effective action"

COSTLY DIAMOND BY MAIL,

INSECTS THAT ARE MUSICAL
All Are Tenora-Males Are Always
the Musicians-Divided In
Two Sections.


Musical insects Of the winged
type may be divided into two
groups; a Those which do not
use their wings and (2) those
which do, for the production Of
sound. OF the two, the latter spe
cies is by far the more numerous.
A, very curious fact is that all in
sects are tenors, deep bass voices
being quite unknown; in addition
to this, the males are always the
performers, female insects being
dumb contenting themselves
with stopping at home and look
ing after the children instead of
standing at the front door singing
like their lords and masters, says
the Scientific American.
Many insects sing by day, such,
for instance, as the chickadee,
which, however,, are not Of the wi
olinist" type, as they play upon a
series Of hard plates attached to
the abdomen, much in the same
way as a Spanish dancer uses the
castanets. Another insect of this
type is the black field cricket,
which has its home in small,
cavelike dwelling it prepares in
the earth.
Other insects only sing by night
such, for instance, as the domes.
tic and tree crickets, whose regu.
lar modulated notes are known to
every one. The apparatus used by
these insects exactly resembles a
violin, the abdomen being partial
ly endowed with small bridgelike
edges or ridges, against which the
wings are rubbed. thus producing
the strident note characteristic Of
the insect.
Other insects. such as locust:
and their kin, have yeritable bows
covered with fine ridges and at
tachGd to the wings by two but
ton-like growths. Others have
cavities covered over with a fine
membrane which serve the Office
of resonators; in almost all in
sects of this type there is a parch
ment like part of the abdomen
which acts as a kind Of sounding
board. Strange to say. many Of
these harmonious insects are de
priyed of hearing. Crickets. how
ever. are an exception rs they
have sharp ears and cease theft
vocal efforts at the sound Of ap
preaching footsteps. Some in
sects, although apparently de
pflVed OF any means Tor the pro

ARTIFICIAL HEART BEATS.
Hamburg Doctor Demonstrates Pos
sibility Of Taking Organ from
Body with Safety.

That the heart OF q cOld-Dl00de0
animal, after the death Of the an.
imal, may be contracted by cleo
tricity or other irritant, is fact
which is well known to the ordi-
nary person, But that it is posi-
BILE to take the human heart out
of the body and keep it in activity
for hours is a fact which has just
been demonstrated by DIR. Deneke,
Of Hamburg. The case is fully re-
ported in the Hamburger Mach
richten.
The experiment was performed
by Drs. Deneke and Adam on a
woman who had been executed by
the gujIlotine in Hamburg, the
criminal being AZ years Of age and
in good health. The head fell into
a closed sack, into which also
passed the greater portion Of the
blood from the carotid arteries,
and from this sack there was OBJ

there were still evident weak con
fractions of the single portions of

auricles being tolerably regular.
while the contraction of the left
ventricle was hardly distinguish
able. The heart was taken from
the body at S:15, and the coronary
artery was then washed thorough

salt water at 80 degrees O., until
the fluid coming from the heart
was colorless. The heart was now
completely at rest all movement

washed with Lochesche solu-

dinated contraction of the whole
heart; at 1892 in place of the
Lockesche solution there was
passed into the heart the blood
freed frem its fiber, filtered and
warmed. Immediately there took

regular contraction of all portions
of the heart.
After the regular beating of the
heart had continued for some
time a little air balloon was
passed into the pulmonary veins
in the left auricle, and ther
through the mitral valves into the
left ventricle. Two hours after
the execution the heart com
