FRIDAY, MAR. 29, 1895.
O ur exports of live cattle for Feb­
ruary show a falling off of nearly
3,000 head, due to the German pro­
hibition. The March showing will
be still worse, as France has joined
Germany in the embargo. This il­
lustrates how the Democratic tariff
policy is capturing “the markets of
the world.”
O n June 1, the city of New York
will celebrate the formal opening of
the Harlem ship canal. This is 8
miles long, 350 feet wide and 15 feet
deep, and has cost 93,000,000. It
connects the East and Hudson rivers
at the upper end of the city, and
saves 30 miles to vessels descending
one river and ascending the other.
The city has been trying to build this
canal since 1829, and has just suc­
ceeded in completing it.

That is the probable explanation of
disaffection in the island, the govern­

and the unusual reinforcements hur­
ried across the Atlantic.
THE ‘'HALF DOLLAR” nEN.
Have you noted that the extreme
silver men, except the Colorado
senators, are opposed to the inter­
national monetary conference? The
reason is plain to the thinking.
They want to force free coinage 16
to 1 on this country alone; they do
not want silver rehabilitated in such
a way as to really increase its in­
trinsic value. Why? ,
What they want is a cheap dollar
that will enable debtors to swindle
their creditors. They insist upon
free coinage by the United States
without waiting for the co-operation
of the great commercial nations.
But it is not simply the men who
have lent money who would be
swindled. Every man who lias a
little pile of savings in a savings
bank would lose half its actual value
by this juggle with the “dollar.”
So would every veteran, every
veteran's widow or child drawing a
pension. The poor old soldier who
is receiving, say, $12 a month, would
still get twelve of the things called
dollars, but he could only buy half
as much with them. And so would
many other classes of people be
swindled, and the workingman most
of all.
If, through international rehabili­
tation of silver, that metal should
rise to $1.29 per ounce, the silver
extremists, the “cheap dollar" men,
would lose all interest in silver
coinage.
They would shift their
ground to some other dollar that
was cheap and would contain an
element of fiatism. In other words,
they are not fighting so much for
silver as for a fiat dollar. In other
words, they want to change the
atcual value of the present dol­
lar, so as to swindle somebody.—

Both Brain aud Brawn.
An astonishing event has hap­
pened at the university of Oxford,
England. A Mr. Robertson, so the
story goes, won two fine scholar­
ships, the Ireland and the Craven,
lately. That of Itself was not so re­
markable. The scholarships of course
have to be won by somebody every
year.
The extraordinary thing about the
matter was that Mr. Robertson was
a distinguished athlete in his college
and a member of the university crew.
It presents a combination of brain
and brawn unequaled, we are com­
pelled to believe, elsewhere in the
world. If athletes are going in for
study, there is no telling what may
happen. That the leader of a foot­
ball team, a baseball club or a stroke
oarsman has any sense outside of
such muscular accomplishments is
something not to be taken for grant­
ed at present. Maybe in the future,
however, we are going to have a
race of college athletes who will also
be fairly good, or even first-class
scholars, up in their Greek, Latin
and mathematics. If so, then the
scholarship will not all pass over
to the college girls’ side of the house,
as it now threatens to do.
And why, after all, may not a
j'oung man be a good student and a
good athlete at the same time?
There is no reason. It has merely
not been the fashion heretofore, that
is all one can say. Maybe it will
be hereafter.

Governor McKinley is traveling
in the south for his health. He re­
ceived a letter in Thomasville from
a hundred or more citizens of Geor­
gia, democrats and republicans alike,
pledging him the solid vote of
Georgia in the national republican
convention, and assuring him of a
fighting chance to get the electoral
vote of that state, provided he will
declare himself an advocate of free
silver. The letter intimated a de­
sire that the republican platform of
1896 might contain a silver plank.
McKinley replied that if the republi­
can party should declare for free
silver he would decline to become its
candidate, and would quit the party
forever.

some years. In Oakland, for exam­

When the electrical water power
transmission scheme at Niagara falls
is finished, it will be the greatest
enterprise established for such pur­
pose on the globe. But it is by no
means the first, nor was it when it
was planned. Already in the west,
particularly on the Pacific slope,
water power transformed into an
electrical current has been sent to
places where power was needed
miles away. The San Antonio (Cal.)
Light and Power company has for
several years dispatched power to a
plant 30 miles away. Scores of
other establishments in California
and other western states transmit
power from water falls electrically
over anywhere from 4 to 15 miles of
wire. The great 5000 horse power
dynamo made for the Niagara plant
is constructed on the latest idea of
Tesla. If power can be sent electric­
ally 30 miles, there is no reason why
it cannot be sent 200 miles. That
seems plain.
