TARIFF TISKERIHO, AC When EepresentatiTe Babcock, a Republican statesman, of Wisconsin, proposed in the first session of the 57th Congress to revise the tariff on trnst-contrblled articles as a means of remedying the trust evil, Mark Hanna, speaking for the trusts, de clared that we mustn't hare any "tariff tinkering." When Secretary Boot delivered his speech In New York a few days ago he echoed Sen ator Hanna and also declared that we mustn't have any "tariff tinker ing." They and other opponents of tariff revision say it is unwise to; touch the tariff when the country ii i . prosperous; that tariffs should be changed as little as possible, and therefore they, are opposed to laying hands on the Dingley tariff. One might think from the way they speak that tariff legislation is about the last thing they meanttfo tackle. But the Republican party which'shrinkswith such horror from touching the Dingley tariff, which is candidly admitted by some of the statesmen to be higher than neces sary, has a "tariff tinkering" record all the same. The Louisville Cour ier Journal has taken the trouble to hunt it up and here It is s officially reported by fh. Joint Congreaional Committee on Printing in 1898. Act of March 2, 1861.

On March 4. 1875, the Republican party lost control of legislation, and did not regain it till March 4, 1881. ' Then it resumed business for two years, as follows: Joint resolution of Msrch 11, 1882. Act of May 4, 1882. Act of December 23, 1882. Act of March, 3, 1883. Another act of the same date. ' On March 4, 1883, the Republicans lost control of legislation until March 4. 1889, when it resumed busines again, with the following result : Act of February 13, 1890. Actof June 10, 1890. Act of October 1, 1890 (the McKinley law). Act of December 15, 1890. Act of March 3, 1893. "Again the Republican party lost control of legislation, but resumed on March 4, 1897, with these results: Act of July 24. 1897 (the Dingley law). Another act of the same date. The CourierQwrnal supplements this with the following, in which, however, it orerloola the Spanish war taxes repealed, amounting in the aggregate to $25,000,000 or more: This brings us up to the publication of the volume from which "we -have quoted. Slftce that time the dntyon anthracite has been' repealed and that on bituminous ooal suspended for one year.

Some of them related to partic ular commodities, or exemptions in Tavor of particular interests. Some were 'mainly internal revenue oil la, but withprovisions affecting the tariff. But hey all had more or less to do with the levying or remission of duties, so they were all specimens of tariff tinkering. We have not -included many presidential proclamations of treaties which affected the tariff rates. FretamabJy it will now be Insisted that these acts were- passed In igno rance of the great danger, of doing anything whatever to the tariff-when the country is prosperous, and also when it Is not prosperous. For while prosperity is now urged as a reason for letting the tariff alone, the same objection to a change -Was made In 1894, when the country waa goffering: from the panic which followed the passage of the McKinley bilL It will be observed that the Republican party wnen it was feeling well, often changed the tariff twice in one day.

But the prosperous times, the danger of unsettling business, discouraging enterprise and all that sort of thing is mere pretence for not doing what they know they ought to do, have no idea of doing and dare not do, because the trusts and the pro tected interests have too strong a grip on tne-parij, an am w many potent agents in both Houses of Congress. They will keep on promising tar- iff revision, however, wnen me . proper time comes," for that is in accordances with their established habit of humbugging the people with promises of reforms to come and what they are going to do, but it is safe to predict that they will not do much to the Dingley tariff. THE MKRaES FLOOILiD. i The decision : of the celebrated merger case in which several leading Northwestern railroads figured as defendants, the substance of whieh j was published In our press dispatches ! yesterday, is a matter in which the whole country is Interested oni more especially the farmers and shippers of the West, who saw in thatnerger the possibilities of a monopoly in transportation that would put them completely in its power. This was the reason why when the merger was under way a year or more ago the Governor of Minnesota vigorously-protested against it and sought the co-operation of other Governors. He contended that it was a viola- rf of the state of Min. TiAant.a. and of that portion 01 the Rh firm an act which prohibits com binations In restraint of trade, both of which contentions are sustained by the decision of the federal court of appeals, and unanimously, too. This decision is the outcome or tne temporary injunction secured Dy Attorney-General Knox, acting as the representative oi tne govern ment, under the Sherman law, and settles the case unless there be a reversal by the Supreme 3onrt of the United States, which is scarcely to be expected in view of the unan imity of the court of appeals, the four Judges concurring in the find ings and decision. Mr. J. P. Mergan, the great mer ger manager, says he will appeal, as might be expected, and remarks that however the Snpreme Court may decide, "railroad men will find good ways to see that their proper ties are operated economically and profitably," which is simply another way of saying that phe combines will find some way of either evading or breaking through the laws. This decision, as we understand it, does not affect consolidations to secure continuous lines, or absorb j ing branch roads, but only applies to roads which are so located as to be competitors for business, the consolidation or common manage ment of which would destroy com petition and put shippers and trav ellers completely in the power of the combine. As inch it is an emphatic assertion of the scope and power of the law and a victory for the people. E0LLDTS GOT IT. The announcement thatThos. S. Bollins was unanimously elected boss of the Bepnblican machine by the committee at Greensboro, to succeed Mr. Fritchard, does not come as a surprise because it has been foreshadowed for Borne time. He was slated as soon as it was set tled that Mr. Pritchard would be satisfactorily provided for, and al though there had been some talk of smashing the slate, and it was re ported that there were smashing combinations at work in Greensboro after the committee met, and it was given out that Mr. Pritchard was "discouraging" the movement to put his son-in-law in his place, the slate wasn't smashed, as far as Bol lins was, concerned, and he got there "unanimously," which shows what the machine can do when It is manipulated right. . Mr. Pritchard steps out, Mr. Bol lins steps in, the machine stays in the family, so to speak, and the family will engineer the party and run the pie counter. This arrangement will doubtless be satisfactory to Mr. Roosevelt who was favorable to Bollins, for he can now count on the loyal support of the machine in this State; but it isn't so satisfactory to several as piring patriots who had a hanker ing to run that machine themselves, and. an opinion that they could do it better than either Pritchard or Bol lins. What kind of an engineer Mr. Bollins will make remains to be seen, but he will have some advan tage over other new hands, : for be will have the benefit of -Mr; Pritchard's experience, and his pa ternal counsel whenever sought of needed, whether it do him any good or not. if II winter left V' iT- . i J Xyoi "all m down,' ' it wind up wtta - J foRootfceer I That will "set yeuolnf'y I .

Bullfrogs have been promoted to the game class in Pennsylvania, where a law passed by the Legisla ture and just approved by the Gov ernor, prohibits anyone from killing or catching them between the first day of July and the first day of No vember.

A LESSON IN" PHY81CS. Bollins: Water Tkat Caat Be Made Hot Knonarlt to Boll aa Ear. Most boys and girls have heard, no doubt, that, although water may be made to boil at the top of a high moun tain, it cannot be made hot enough to boil an egg. Perhaps they have puz zled over this a good deal, wondering why the egg will not boil if the water does. They know very well that if an egg be dropped into boiling water in the kitchen at their house and allowed to remain five minutes it will be boil ed nearly as bard as a stone. Why, then, will it not do the same on a mountain top? The reason is that it requires less heat to boll water on a mountain top than it does down at the sea level, and the water, therefore, does not get hot enough to cook the egg. Water boils on a mountain, say, three miles in height at a temperature of about 185 degrees, but it will not boll at sea level at less than 212 degrees. Now, as it requires, a heat of 212 degrees to cook an egg, it is very plain , why the water that boils at 185 degrees will not do, the work. But why will water boil at a temper ature of 185 degrees on a mountain top? When you put a kettle of water over a fire, the water in the bottom of the kettle soon begins to get hot, and as It gets hot it rises to the top of the ket. tie, colder water coming down to take, its place at the bottom. This goes, on4 until all the water in the kettle be comes hot, and then, as it gets hotter' and hotter, little globules or bubbles of steam form at the bottom and as cend to the top, where they escape into the air. Now, you must remember that the pressure of the air on everything around you is fifteen pounds to the square inch, and that pressure tbee.) fore is on the surface of the water "in the kettle and has to be -overcome by, the bubbles of steam before they can escape from the water. They have force enough to escape when driven upward by a heat of 212 degrees, but not until then, On a mountain top, however, the con-, ditions are very different. There the air is much lighter than it la at sea level, and the pressure is less than fifteen pounds to the square inch. Hence the steam bubbles do not meet with so much resistance In escaping from the water, and a heat of 185 "de grees is generally sufficient to drive( them out. In other words, a heat of 185. degrees will boll water on the mountain top, and as water cannot be made any. hotter when the steam begins to es cape you cannot make it hot enough there to cook food.

NOVEL TEST OF DEATH. S. Vreaeh Doctor's Devf.ee aTov Various devices have from time td 'time been tried with the object of as certaining whether persons who are 'supposed to be dead are really dead OP not, and much interest is now Deinjf manifested in the latest" of these de vices, to which public attention waf first attracted by Dr. Icard of Mar seilles. . . Fluorescin, the well known coloring material, is the -only thing which Dr. Icard uses for this purpose, and yet his experiments have proved so successful that they have won for him the ap proval of the French Academy of Sci ences: Fluorescin injected into the human body produces absolutely no effect It the body is dead, whereas it produces most sui prising effect if the body is alive. Dr. Icard uses a solution of it which is so strong that a single gram ia able to color 40,000 quarts of water. If a little of this solution is injected under the skin of a living person, in two minutes the skin, and especially the mucous membranes, will become much discolored, and the person will present the appearance of one suffering from an acute attack of Jaundice. Moreover, the eyes wul become ox a greenish color and the pupils will al most become invisible. These symp toms will remain for one or possibly two hours and then will gradually dis appear. Since fluorescin produces this effect on a living ooay it naturauy ionows, according to Dr. Icard, that any body on which it produces no effect must be dead. Many persons have a horror of being buried alive, and that is why these ex periments are now attracting much at tention in Europe. Some physicians maintain that satisfactory tests .can also be made by the use of the Roent gen rays, but it is not everyone who has the facilities for making auch tests. THE QfRLS OF KASHMIR: avaur Tker Are Mot aa Beavtifal aa Tkey Once "Were. The girls of Kashmir in former times were sold and carried away to the Punjab, in India. They commanded a laree Drice. and parents lh moderate Circumstances for centuries past have been in the habit of parting with their daughters to place themselves in easier circumstances, and the daughters have generally been quite willing to escape from a life of penury and labor to one of opulence and ease. A laboring man in this part of India cannot earn over S2 or $3 a month, while many receive for their daughters as high as $1,000. There are some cases where $5,000 was paid, but the usual price has been from $J0O to $500. The practice became so common as well as so damaging that a severe law was enacted prohibiting any one from removing any woman from the eoun- trv. but it is said that the business goes on now as it has done for hun dreds of years, and to that practice may be charged the fact that thp wo men of Kashmir are not aa beautiful as they once were. The process of taking all the beauti ful girls away, leaving only the- ordi nary and ugly ones to continue the race, has lowered the standard of beau ty. Most of the women and girls per form field labor as much as the men. and their dress is of the coarsest and plainest materials, consisting of a gar ment like a nightgown made of white cotton.
