HE WILL NOT SIGN, Our advices trom Washington today indicate the president maintains his sul leuneas toward the turifl bill, and willjal low it to beoomea law without bis Big nature. Speaker Crisp and other con gressmen have been urging the point with him that bis refusal to Bign the bill will embarrass them in the campaign but the president remains determined in his purpose to let it beoome a luw by operation of law. By pursuing thiB oourse the president imagines that he is relieving himself of pereonal responsi bility for the new tariff law and will have thoroughly washed his bands of the whole business. In this he will be mistaken. The people will not see it in that light. Mr. Cleveland does not real ize that he in doing himself a great in justice and that be is lowering himself in the estimation of all parties. The chief exeoutive oflioe of the nation is not the plaoe for the indulgence of personal feelings or the gratification of a petty pitefulness. If the new tariff bill is good enough to beoome a law, tbeu the president owes it to his party friends to sign the bill and thus give them all the prestige that can be bad from bis ap proval. If the bill is too bad to become a law, then It is bis plain constitutional duty to veto it. If the bill is not to hie liking, yet a party exigenoy requires that it Bbould become a law, it would be better for the president to sign the bill and give bis reasons for duiug so in a manly, straightforward message to oon Kress on the subject. That would be belter than to be sulking iu bis tent at the opening of a great political buttle, when bis soldiers are culling on bim for help.

Milton Eagle. PROGRESS IN AFRICA. A Country That W Slow to Adopt the Custom! or Civilization. As a continent it is the home of a vigorous race of mankind, which, while resisting assimilation with Eu ropean civilization, defies permanent conquest. According to the Nineteenth Century, it views with uquuuimity, or at least is powerless to resent, the oc cupation of its coasts and the more healthy contiguous regions; but the heart of the continent remains, and must ever remain, the home of the African. Allied raceB, and people who have for centuries undergone the scarcely perceptible process of accli matization, may, it is true, effect a lodgment in the heart of Africa; but if they remain there, they themselves eventually undergo absorption into the primitive elements of the population or suffer total extinction. Nature has, in short, marWed off tropical Africa as the abiding home of the black races. European travelers, traders, missionaries, conquerors may at their will and at their peril pene trate into this dark sanctuary, but their sojourn is for a day, and on the morrow the faint traces of their pas sage are obliterated by the exuberant growths of barbarism. Drudgingly as it is sometimes conceded, it is never theless a fact that the bulk of the con tinent of Africa is still untouched by western civilization. I, for one, can not believe that Africa will ever he Kuropcanized or brought within the pale of western progress. For, in or der that Africa may progress, it is ab solutely essential that it be developed along natural lines; but, as yet, the inherent powers of native genius have neither been discovered, nor, in the absence of any cohesion among native tribes, and in view of European rapaci ty, are they, even if discovered, ever likely to be encouraged or fostered. No; A frica is a continent fated to he conquered and exploited by the heirs of civilization, to whom it may pay tribute, but homage never. ONE MAN'S DIPLOMACY. It Stoppm! the llaby's Crying and Earned lllm KverliiNtiliK Ilratltude. It was in an "I." train and a baby was crying with all the strength of its two-year-old lungs, o'l'he expression on the. faces of the occupants of the car changed from indifference to pity, then to annoyance, and linully to downright anger. Finally, says the. New York Recorder, a man two or three seats from the crying child leaned aver and snapped bits lingers quickly. TI10 effect wasXnuigicnl. The child stopped in the miWIle o'- a. yell, and gazed open eyed and open mouthed at the man. lie snapped his fingers sev eral times, then, accompanying them with grotesquely cheerful smiles and a peculiar sliukc of his head which seemed to highly interest the cross cherub and appeal to his sense of humor, for a wavering little smile crept around the corners of the droop ing mouth and the cries ceased for good. The man leaned back in his scat, bestowing occasional cheerful winks and smiles at the vanquished foe. Ucreuped his reward. The old fel low next to him declared he had diplo macy enough to make a prime minis ter, tne men opposite peeped at him in friendly recognition over the tops of their papers, the woman near him with nerves and a headache said: "Thank you," and the pretty girl in the cor ner gave him a sweet smile. That man left the car followed by a seoro of blessings, and the cross baby turned over aud actually went to sleep. OUR DEBT TO THE DUTCH. Aiik Owe Morn to Nick Van Stan Than It Can ray. One never reads in American colo nial history of the Dutchman seeking gold like 'he Spaniards or English men, remarks Harper's Magazine. His head was too level and his eye too clear. Excelling as fanners, yet even more as traders, the Dutch laid the foundations of the eonnnerciul su premacy of New York by inherited in stincts rcenforced by wise policy and huge ideas. They gave points not only ns to lish, fur mid wumpum to their neighbors down cast. Quickest to catch customers, they sent out their agents among the In dians, forestalling the fur and other crops. Incomparable as is the modem lioston "drummer," he is but the evolution of the Dutch Ists-loper, or wood-ranger, who scoured the forests for trade. With perfection of dress and man ners, irresistible in tongue, brainy and resourceful always, as is our commer cial tourist in this Columbian year, he probably does not proportionately ex cel the skillful bos-lowr, who iu the seventeenth century scoured the In dian villages along the Mohawk and von to Duluth.

Mr, Bird said: "When I first decided to doctor for my troubles I learned, that I had oon traoted paralysis of the spine. I culled in my family physician, Dr. Varick, who refused to treat me and advised me to go to Prof. Corning of New York, I went to the Professor and followed his advice for eight months, but it did no good at all.

There are very few men that can stand the compressed air for more than a balf hour. "But for all that I did not improve much, and I began to loose all hope.

They kept it up so persis tently that dually 1 deoided to give them a trial." "Well, sir, do you know that they have done me more good than all the Professors and Doctors in the world.
