FAIR OR
BILL ARP'S LETTER.
THE OLD MAN GIVES THK SCIENTISTS
SOME HARD LICKS.
We will do Well to Stand by the Faith of
Our Fathers Their Faith and Works
Have Saved This Wicked Old World.
The scientific world is still perplex
ed about Adam and Eve. Darwin
hasn't settled it nor Dr. Woodrow
Mark Twain thought he found the
grave of our illustrious ancestors, but
according to late discoveries he shed
his tears on the wrong tomb. The
book of a learned Frenchman has
come to the front and created a sen
sation in scientific circles. He says
that Father Adam was 123 feet high
and Mother Eve was only five leet
lower and that ever since they evo
luted into existence the human race
has been on the down grade, getting
shorter and smaller as the centuries
roll on. Well, it looks reasonable
that folks 900 years old 'should be
900 years big, but they were not.
The largest men are not the longest
livers in our day. In fact they don't
live as long as the medium size.
Among animals we know that a goose
that is of no consequence, lives five
times as long as a horse. A turtle
lives longer than a whale. I wish we
did know more about Adam. I wish
that Moses had told us more. He
gave us thirteen chapters about the
history of Joseph and only two con
cerning the creation of man and the
universe. I was talking to a learned
and scientific gentleman about this
and he said he supposed that Moses
told all that he knew, and that he
could not have known much about
what happened before the flood, for
there were no books nor anything
in writing, and all that he knew was
by uncertain tradition that came down
the centuries and gathered some and
lost some on its journey. He said
he thought it very probable that the
people who lived before the flood
were of very large stature, for Moses
said there were giants in those days.
Well it is astonishing how men of
science ignore the Bible not all of
them, but most of them. They de
pend on science to unravel all the
mysteries, and what science does not
prove they do not consider proved,
even though Moses wrote it. Now
here is this Frenchman who has de
voted years of study to prove that
Mother Eve was one hundred and
twenty-three. feet tall and large around
in proportion. Why, thebld preacher
that Henry Grady told about at the
banquet made her only thirty cubits
high and lined within and without
with pitch.
I asked my scientific friend if he
didn't think that great height was
very inconvenient to Adam, and that
the limbs of the trees-jyould be very
much in way as he and his wife took
an evening., walk through the shady
avenues.
"Oh, no," said he. "Of course the
trees were larger and taller in due
proportion. Something like the red
woods in the Yosmemite Valley that
are 300 feet high." "How about
the animals," said I, "tor instance, the
horse and the cow and the dog."
How would Adam manage to ride
one erf our horses or Eve to milk one
of our Jersey cows. He smiled and
said, "Well the animals were no
doubt of a corresponding size." "Ele
phants and camels and giraffs, too,"
said I. "Of course," said he. "And
boa constrictors and rattlesnakes,
too." "Yes," said he. But I thought
he was weakening. "Well, but you
know the ark was only thirty cubits
high and was three stories, that is, ten
cubits or about eighteen feet for each
story. How did those elephants and
giraffs get in there ?" "Oh, I sup
pose those cubits were very different
from what we call cubits now," said
he.
He reminded me of the fellow who
came back from his travels in the
unexplored West, and said, among
other marvelous thing, that he got
on the borders of a valley where
everything was petrified turned to
stone and that he didn't dare to
venture in, lor he saw stone horses
and cattle and goats and serpents and
panthers bears. Jn fact everything
was petrified, even the trees and the
grass, and he saw a hunter standing
erect, with a gun in his hands, point
ed to a eagle in the air, and the hun
ter and his gun and the eagle were
all petrified all turned to stone.
"Oh, pshaw ! Jim ; that won't do,"
said on of his hearers. "Don't you
know that gravity would have pulled
that eagle down?" "Gravity, the
dickens !" said he, "why gravity was
petrified harder than anything. I
saw a streak of it from the eagle to
ground !" But our Frenchman says
that every generation fell off a few
feet, and I suppose that, as Adam
lived to see Lamech, of the ninth
generation, it was like Gulliver in his
travels ; when Adam wanted to talk
to Lamech and tell him about the
Garden of Eden and the apple tree
and about Cain and Abel, he didn't
stooo down to talk, Kfifc. iust lifted
Lamech up on his little finger and set
him on his shoulder and told him all
about it. How scared Lamech must
have been, for fear that he would
fall into that great mouth, that was
five feet wide, or into that ear, that
looked like a cave with "boogers" in
it.
And then just to think what a time
they must have had in burying the
old gentleman when he died;- What
a long deep grave they had to dig
and what a coffin, for he was fifteen
feet high when lying down, and how
many levers and hand -sticks they had
to prize with, or, maybe they had to
put up a great derrick and have a
block and tackle to swine him down
I into the grave. Mark Twain wasn't
looking for such a grave as that, and
if had found it his tears would have
been out of proportion. Now it does
look like Moses would have mention
ed it if Adam had been any such
giant. He tells us about the age of
man being reduced after the flood to
120 years, and is very particular
about the size of the ark. But what
reason is there to believe that those
people who lived before the flood
were not educated. Josephus says
the Lord taught Adam language and
letters and figures and all science that
was necessary for man's comfort, and
Moses says that Tubal made harps
and organs and Tubal Cain was an
instructor in brass and iron. Noah
could not have built the ark if he had
not been a good mechanic, and hence
it is reasonable to suppose that Noah
wrote an account of the Hood and
handed it down to posterity.
But to come down to facts, what
was the trouble about Moses receiv
ing the truth and writing it down
even though there was no inspiration
in the matter. For certainly Adam
told it all straight to Lamech and
Lamech was Noah's father. Of
course, Noah was a truthful man, and
he lived to see Abraham, who was
nine generations further on and must
have told Abraham all that he got
from Lamech. Now, that that makes
twenty generations, compassing 2,000
years of time and history, and the
facts of it passed through only two
persons, Lamech and Noah. So
that we are obliged to believe that
Father Abraham got it straight and
told it straight to Levi, his great
grandson, and Levi told it straight to
Moses, his great grandson. I don t
see any trouble about that.
Now, if these scientists were all
ike Dr. Woodrow, and would study
the Scriptures with a reasonable fiiith,
then would science become the hand
maid of inspiration, and not its ene
my. Instead of that they seem to
have a desire to pull down the Scrip
tures and they are encouraging scep
ticism and agnosticism and all sorts
of infidelity in the minds of the
young.
Young man, you had better stand
by the faith of your fathers. It sus
tained them and made them good
men and women. They lived by it
and died by it. It doirrSnatter how
high Adam was nor whether he evo
luted or not. Do you take the Bible
and study it and live by its principles
and you will be happy. Go to church
every Sabbath and listen with humil
ity and reverence to the teachings of
the men of God. The church and
the preachers are the hope of the
world. When the flood came there
was but one preacher, and the earth
was filled with violence. And just
so it would be filled with violence
right now if we had no church and
no preachers. Ten righteous men
would have saved Sodom, and it is
the preachers who save us.

GROVER CLEVELAND.
HE TAKES PABT IN THE RHODE IS
LAND CAMPAIGN.
His Speech at Providence -Tarift" Reform
the Pledge of the Democratic Party to
the People and to be the Issue in the
Coming Campaign No Side Ismie to he
Substituted.
The State election in Rhode Is
land was held yesterday. On last
Saturday Grover Cleveland, Esq.,
spoke at Providence. He was lol
lowed by Ex-Gov. Campbell, of
Ohio. Both Democrats and Repub
lican parties are making strenuous
efforts to carry the State. Mr. Cleve
land spoke as follows :
Fellow Citizens : I have found
it impossible to decline the invitation
sent me to meet the Democracy of
Rhode Island. I have come to look
in the faces of the men who have been
given the place of honor in advance
of the vast army which moves toward
the decisive battle field of next No
vember, i have not come to point
the way to consolation in case of your
defeat, but have come to share the
enthusiasm which presages victory.
I have not come to condole with you
upon the difficulties which confront
you but to suggest that they only add
to your glory if you triumph.. I have
come to remind you that the instru
ments of spoils and patronage cannot
avail "against valor and right ;" that
corruption and bribery cannot smoth
er and destroy the aroused conscience
of our countrymen and that splendid
achievements await those who brave
ly, honestly and stubbornly fight in
in the country's cause. Let us not
for a moment use the inspiration of
those words: "The people's cause."
They signify the defence of the rights
of every man, rich or poor, in every
corner of our land, who, bv virtue of
simple American manhood lays claim
to the promises of our free Govern
ment and they mean the promotion
of the welfare and happiness of the
humblest American citizen, wtio con
fidently invokes the protection of
just and equal law. The covenant of
our Democratic faith, as I understand
it, exacts constant effort in this caiife
and its betrayal I conceive to be a
crime against the creed of true Demo
cracy. The struggle in which you are en
gaged arrests the attention of your
party brethren in every State, and
they pause in their preparation for
the geneal engagement near at hand,
in which all will be in the field, and
look toward Rhode Island with hope
and trust. They read the legends on
your banners and they bear you ral
lying cries and know that your fight
is in the people's cause. If you should
be defeated there will be no discour
agement in this vast voting army;
but you will earn plaudits and cover
yourselves with glory by winning suc
cess. Large and bright upon your
banners is blazoned the words "tarift
reform," the shibboleth of true
Democracy and the test of loyalty to
the people's cause. Those who op
pose tariff reform delude themselves
if they suppose it rests wholly upon
appeals to selfish considerations and
promise of advantage, right or wrong,
or that our only hope of winning de
pends upon arousing animosity 14-
tween tne amerent interests among
our people. While we do iu t r se
that those whose welfare we chain pi"
on shail be blind to the advantages
accruing to them lrom our plan of
tariff reform, and while we are deter
mined that these advantages shall not
be surrendered to the blandishments
of greed and avarice, we still claim
nothing that has not underlving it a
moral sentiment and consideration of
equity and good conscience. Because
our case rests upon such foundations
sordiness and selfishness cannot de
stroy it. "The Government of the
Union is a Government of -the people ;
it emanrates from them ; its powers
are granted by them and are to be
exercised directly on them and for
their benefit." This is not the lan
guage of a political platform. It is a
declaration of the highest court in the
land, whose mandate all must obev
and whose definitions all partisans
must accept.
In the light of this exoosition of
the duty the Government owes to the
people the Democratic party claims
that when through federal taxation,
burdens are laid upon the daily life of
the people not necessary for the Gov
ernment's economical administration,
and intended, whatever be the pre
texts, to enrich a few at the expense
of the many the Governmental com
pact is violated. A distinguished
Justice of the Supreme Court with no
Democratic affiliations, but loved and
respected when living by every
American and since his death unusu
ally lamented, has characterized such
proceedings as "none the less rob
bery because it is done under forms
of law and is called taxation." Let
us appreciate the fact that we not on
ly stand upon sure and safe ground
when we appeal to honesty and mor
ality in our championship of the in
terests of the masses of our people as
they are related to tariff taxation, but
that our mission is invested with the
highest patriotism when we attempt
to preserve from perversion, distor
tion and decay the justice, equality
ana moral integrity
which
are the
1 constituent elements ol our scheme ol
who believe the legitimate motive ot
our Government is to do equal and
exact justice to all our people and
grant special privileges to none ; those
wn believe that a nation boasting
that its honesty and conscience cannot
afford to discard moral sentiment,
and those who would save our institu
tions from the undermining decay of
sordidness and selfishness can hardly
excuse themselves if they fail to join
us in the crusade we have under
taken. Certainly our sincerity cannot be
questioned. In the beginning of the
struggle we were not only bitterly
opposed by a great party of avowed
enemies, but were embarrassed by
those in our own ranks who had be
come infected with the unwholesome
atmosphere our enemies had created.
We hesitated not a moment boldly
to encounter both. We unified our
party, not by any surrender to the
half-hearted among our members, I mt
by an honest appeal to Democratic
sentiment and conscience. We have
never lowered our standard. It surely
was not policy nor expediency that
; induced us defiantly to carrv the
banner of tariff reform as we went
forth to meet a well organized and
desperately determined army in tiie
disastrous field of iSSS. A time
serving or expediency hunting party
would hardly have been found the
day alter such crushing defeat un
dismayed, defiant and determined,
still shouting the war cry and anxious
to encounter again in the people's
cause, our exultant enemy. We had
not long to wait. At the Waterloo
of 1 890 tariff reform had its vindica
tion and principle and steadfast devo
tion to American fairness and good
faith gloriously triumphed over plausi
ble shiftiness and attempted popular
deception.
The Democratic party still cham
pions the cause which defeat could
not induce it to surrender; which no
success short of complete accomplish
ment can tempt it to neglect. Its po
sition has been from the first frankly
and fairly stated and no one can
honestly be misled concerning it.
We invite strictest scrutiny of our
conduct in dealing with this subject
and we insist that our cause be open,
fair and consistent. I believe this is
not now soberly denied in any
quarter. Our opponents too have
records on this question. Those who
still adhere to the doctrine that the
important function of Government is
especially to aid them in their busi
ness ; those who only see in consumers
of our land forced contributors to
artificial benefits permitted by Gevern
mental favoritism ; those who see in
our working men only tools with
which their shops and , manufactories
are to be supplied at the cheapest
possible cost and those who believe
there is no moral question involved
in tariff taxation of people are proba
bly familiar with this record and
abundantly satisfied with it. It may
however, be profitably received by
those who believe that integrity and
good faith have to do with Govern
mental operations and who honestly
confess that present tariff burdens are
not justly and fairly distributed. Such
review may alsol be ol interest to
those who believethat our consumers
are entitled to Ve treated justly and
honestly by the Government and
that the working man should be
allowed to feel in his humble home,
as he supplies his family's daily needs
that his earnings are not unjustly ex
torted from him for the benefits of
favored beneficiaries of unfair tariff
laws.
This then is the record. When we
began the contest for tariff reform it
was said by our Republican op-
pi tnents,
in the tace ot our avowal
and acts, tnat we were netermineci on
1 m 1 1

free trade. A long advance was
Ion
made 111 their insincerity and impud
ence when they accused us of acting
in the interest of foreigners and when
they more than hinted that we had
been bought with Brittish gold.
Those who distrusted the effective
ness of these senseless appeals insult
ed the intelligence of our people by
claiming that increase in the cost of
articles to consumers caused by tarifl
was not a tax paid by him but that it
was paid by foreigners who sent their
goods to our markets. Sectional
prejudice was invoked in a most out
rageous manner and the people of the
North were asked to condemn the
measure of tariff reform proposed by
us because members of Congress
from South had supported it. These
are fair samples of the arguments sub
mitted to the American people in the
Presidential campaign of 1SS8. It
will be observed that the purpose of
these amazing deliverances was to
defeat entirely any reform in tariff,
though it had been enacted at a time
when the expense of ,a tremendous
war justified exaction of tribute from
people, which in time ot peace be
came a grievous burden, though it
had congested Federal treasury with
worse than useless surplus, inviting
reckless public waste and extrava
gance, and though in many of its
features the only purpose of its con
tinuation was the bargaining it per
mitted for party support.
There are those, however, in the
ranks of our opponents who recognized
the fact that we had so aroused popular
attention to the evils and justice of
such tariff reform that it. might not be
safe to rely for success upon bold op
position to its reform. There were
grave ffid sedate Republican
statesmen who declared that they
never, never could consent to
subserve the interests of Eng
land at the expense of their own
country, as the wicked Democrats
proposed to do and that they felt
constrained to insist upon tarift pro
tection to a point of prohibition be-
j cause they devotedly loved our
workingmen and were determined
that their employment should be con-
stant and that their wages should
never go to the disgusting level of
the pauper labor of Europe, but that
in view of the fact that war in which
the tariff then existing originated had
been closed . for more than twenty
years and in view of the further fact
that the public treasury was over
burdened, they were willing to read
just the tarifl" if it could only be done
by its friends instead of by the "Rebel
Brigadiers." 1
I will not refer to all means by
which our opponents succeeded in
that contest. Suffice it to say they
gained complete possession of the
( o eminent in every branch and the
tariff was reformed by its alleged
friends. The consumer has found
life harder since this reform than be
fore, and if there is a working man
anywhere who has had his wages in
creased by virtue of its operation he
has not yet made himself known.
Plenty of mills and -factories have
been closed, thousands of men have
thus lost employment and we daily
hear of reduced wages, but the bene
fits promised from this reform and its
advantage to the- people who fealty
need relief are not apparent. The
provision it contains permitting rec
iprocity of trade in certain cases is an
admission, as far as it goes, against
the theory upon which this reform is
predicated and it lamely limps in the
direction of free commercial ex
change. If "hypocricy is the hom
age vice pays to virtue" reciprocity
may be called homage prohibitory
protection pays to genuine tariff re
form. The demands in your platform for
free raw materials ought, it seems to
me, to be warmly seconded by the
citizens ol your State. The advan
tages to the people of Rhodes Island
of such a policy do not seem to me
to be questionable and I am not here
to discuss them in detail but all I
have said as to the unchanging con
duct and record of the Democratic
party and its opponents in regard to
tariff legislation is in support of the
proposition that all who desire special
relief referred to in your platform or
any other improvement in our tariff
laws in the general interest of the
people must look to the Democratic
party for it. The manufacturer, who
sees in free raw material reduced cost
of his production resulting in increas"
ed consumption and extension of his
market and constant activity and re
turn for his invested capital, can
hardly trust the party which first re
sisted any reform in tarift, then jug
gled with it and at last flatly refused
him the relief he still needs. The
working rr.an, who has been deceiv-.
ed by the promises of higher wages
and better employment, who mow
constantly fears the 'closing of the
manufactories and loss of work, ought
certainly to be no longer cajoled by a
party whose performance has so
clearly give then to its -professions.
The consumer who has
trusted to the reformation of tariff by
its friends, now that he feels increased
burdens of taxation in his home, ought
to look in another direction for re
lief. If the1 Democratic partv-does
not give to the State of Rhode Island
during the present session of C in
gress the tree raw material she needs
it will be because the 'Republican
Senate or Executive thwarts its de
mand. It doubtless would please our ad
versaries if we could be allured from
'our watch and guard over the cause
of tariff reform to certain other dbiccts
thus forfeiting the people's trust and
confidence. The National Democ
racy will hardly gratify this wish and
turn its back upon the people's
ause to wander after false and un
steady lights 111 the wilderness ol
doubt and danger. Our opponents
must in the coining national canvass
scene accounts witu us on tne issue
of tariff reform. It will not do for
them to say to us that this is an old
and determined contention. The
ten commandments are thousands of
years old but they and the doctrine of
tariff reform will be - 'taught and
preached until mankind and the Re
publican party shall heed the injunc
tion : "Thou shalt not steal."
As I leave you let me say to you
that your cause deserves success and
let me express the hope that the
close of your canvass will bring you
no regret on account of activity
relaxed or opportunities. lost. Demon
strate to your people the merits of
your cause.and trust them. Above all
things banish every personal feeling
of discontent and let every personal
consideration be merged into the de
termination pervading your ranks
everywhere to win victory. With a
cause so just and with activity, vigil
ance, harmony and determination on
the part of Rhode Island's staunch
Democracy, I believe you will not
fail.

Tin ! Arc Lols.Iiiftt Like Him.
This is what Mi. Gall wrote on a
postal card one evening, and then
went five blocks to drop it into a
letter-box, after addressing the card
to the editor of the Daily Bugle?
"Mr. C. Charles Gall, of "the well
known anil justly popular firm of
Gall & Gritt, leaves to-morrow even
ing tor an extensive Southern trip, 1
accompanied by his estimable wife." 1
And this is a bit of conversation
Mr. Gall had with one of his neigh-1
bors who met him in the horse-car
the next morning :
"Hello, Gall," said the neighbor;'
"I see by this morning's Bugle that
you and Mrs. Gall intend going on a
trip South."
"Ha ! so the Bugle fellows have got
hold of that, have they ? Hang these
newspaper reporters, anyhow? There's
no keeping anything from them. I
haven't seen a Bugle man foramonth
and haven't spoken about our trip to i
three persons, and yet those Bugle j
fellows have got hold of it. Hanged !
if I ain't a mind to send the editor
a note, and tell him I wish he'd let
me and my private affairs alone after
this. It's a little annoying, you
know, to have one's name bandied
around so common like in the papers.
I hate publicity of that sort."
A Good Idea, Too.
The fact that Senator Stanford has
refused $110,000 for his horse Ad
vertiser, suggests the idea that a
good adveitiser is generally worth
some money. Charlotte Observer.
