NAVY YARD cruising is too common m our navy. At the New York navy yard to-day the Chicago, the Phila­ delphia, the M;antonomah and the Vesuvius are chafing the paint off their hulls ami the temper off their crews. It is impossible to make a disciplined, cheerful, and willing crew out of men who stir up the mud of the Wallabout much oftener than they plow through the green waves of the open sea. The navy is not am­ phibious. It was meant for water service and not for .land. The ocean is the place for it, and our ships should be kept cruising. THE adoption of the Hungarian idea of purifying middlings has cer­ tainly been fruitful of results, not to millers so much as the public at large. Swung wheat always sold at a dis® count before the adoption of the New Process. So long ago as 1672, in New York, the price of winter wheat was fixed at four shillings per bushel and spring wheat at three shillings per bushel. Probably up to 1873 that was almost the relative price of the two wheats. The purifier not only raised the value of spring wheat and made such centers as Minneapolis and Duluth possible, but actually was the chief cause in the rapid set­ tlement of three Northwestern states. COMPOSERS ot operas and writers pf librettos can take a useful hint from a decision just rendered in a New York Court A manager has been mulcted $2,000 for not producing an opera as per agreement. His failure so do was occasioned by the rebellion of the 6tar, who refused to appear in the unbecoming costume which a proper dressing of her part required. The character could not have been changed without overhauling the entire production. Strange that any man, with thousands of years of hu­ man experience before him, should (have expected a beautiful woman to array herself in unbecoming attire for the purpose of art, or for any other reason. IT is generally supposed that no miller or any one connected with a flour mill would ship flour in a car whose floor or sides were saturated with kerosene oil, but they do it fre­ quently. The same person does not often repeat the action, but most every one shipping flour has to stand the expense of this experiment at least once. A Toronto baker recently bad an expensive experience with flour that had absorbed enough of the odor of oil in transit to spoil it. v The flour seemed to be all right, but the oven smelled strongly of oil when the first batch of bread was beiug baked. The bread was sold but not eaten, and the flour was paid for by the Shipper. Flour absorbs odors very readily and should not be placed in asmall musty room or near oil, onions, or rotten produce of any kind. THE Economists may have <1 wealth reputed to be theirs, but just before Father Henrici's death he and John S. Duss, as trustees for the Har­ mony Society at Economy, executed a mortgage on all their lands for $400,000, which they borrowed to pay off the debts of the society -"hereto fore legally incurred and contracted." This mortgage is upon 3,070 acres, of land owned at Economy and is al­ most equal to the full value of the property.

In the North American Review, Senator JBolph of Oreguu re vie w» ex­ isting political conditions and dis­ cusses the question of Republican le- organization. Senator Dolpb'S paper is an abie and statesmaullfe| contri­ bution to the political lltemture of the day. It points out,*«wty' and concisely, the causes which led to Re­ publican defeat an<| the grounds for believing that the BepubttcatTparty will regain national control in 1896. Senator Dolph says: Kor in the defeat, in my judgment, justly chargeable to the protective tariff policy or other policies of the Republican party. The principles of the party have not changed since 1888. when they were in­ dorsed by the people in the election of Mr, Harrison. Neither can defeat be justly to th? r»f m*>. Har­ ris in. Even his political opponents con­ cede his ability and the strength and marked individuality of his administra­ tion, which has been conducted with fidel­ ity to the principles of his party and which will pass into history as one ot the ablest, purest and most successful this couuiry has ever hud. Whatever may be their party affiliations all Americans can point with pride to Pj-esident Harrison as a typical American. The cause of defeat lies deeper than any 1 have mentioned. There is and. has been for some time throughout the entire country a feeling of discontent, which has manifested itself in many ways. It defeated the Republican parly in 1884, overthrew the Cleveland ad­ ministration in 1888, and again reversed the popular verdict in 1892. On March 4, 1893, the Government of the United States for the first time In thirty-two years will be controlled in all its branches by the Democratic party. The Republicans, freed from the burdens and responsibilities of office, will form a vigilant and formi­ dable opposition. The representa­ tives of the party in Congress will at= tack and expose Democratic legisla­ tion which has for its object the pros­ tration of American industry and the diminution of the rewards of Ameri­ can labor. For the next two years, at least, the free-trade forces in Con­ gress will be able to dictate all legis­ lation. The utmost that Republican opposition can do is to demonstrate before the public the real character of the bills which will in all proba­ bility be masked under the guise of "tariff reform" measures. When these bills are once enacted they will con­ stitute Republicanism's most powerful ally. The closing of factories, the displacement of American by foreign goods, and the general reduction of wages, which the Democratic pro­ gramme render inevitable, cannot fail to produce a tremendous reaction in popular sentimeut In favor of pro­ tection four years hence. On the other hand, it will be equal­ ly dangerous for the Democratic lead- ers to refuse to live up to the pledge* made in the. Chicago platform. F«r years Democratic newspapers and Democratic orators in Congress and on the stump have labored unceas­ ingly to create a pronounced senti­ ment in favor of free trade among the Democratic masses. They have largely succeeded in their purpose, and now they must bow to the preju­ dices and passions they have dili­ gently fostered, or risk defeat at the hands of the fanatics of their own party. The Oregon Senator tersely outlines the Democratic predicament when he says: It is Idle for the Democratic party to seek to evadS the responsibility Incident to its lease of power or the consequences of a practical test of It* principles. Those who have been made <o believe that a pro­ tective tariff is a fraud and a robbery of the consumer will naturally demand speedy relief lrom the alleged burdens imposed by the present tariff laws. • • • xbe Dem­ ocratic party will And that cowardice and inaction will be as dangerous in fidelity to it* principles »nd that whatever policy it pursuei will lead to its discomfiture and the restoration of the Republican party to power. Whatever form the proposed re­ organization of the campaign meth­ ods of the Republican party shall take, it is imperative that there shall be no relaxation of Republican prin­ ciples. Every genuine Republican will agree with Senator Dolph ia ttais manful declaration: Any party which can Adopt now princi­ ples to meet every chance emergency, and which ha* no higher aim than public plun­ der, Is not worthy to receive, and cannot hope long to retain, the support of that :jioriif>n of- -iie <c.»«atpy<v 'ehoti? which- no party can succeed. • • • The results of elections In this country, owing to election methods in vogue In some portions of the Union, cannot bo accepted as intelligent and deliberate expressions of the popular will, and if they coul'J. it is better for par­ ties. as well as for individuals, to be in the minority and to be rl.<ht than to be wrong and be with the majority. To abandon the tenets of the party because of an occa­ sional adverse popular ver.lict would be to invite contempt anc. to court destruction. * • * The Republican party, wedded to truth, duty and patriotism, needs but to be true to itself. It reeds no reorganization which involves a a abandonment of Its principles or a change of its purposes. In any declaration of principles tte party must po forward a,*id not backward. A close study of the complete elec­ tion returns, according to the New York Press, shows how substantial are the grounds for the confidence which Senator Dolph expresses. The free trade candidate was not merely in a minority of nearly 1,000,000 in the popular vote; a change of a few thousand vot_-s In certain States would have le-elected President Har­ rison. Mr. Cleveland will have 276 votes in tho Electoral College. Presi­ dent Harrison will have 144 votes. Gen. Weaver will have 24 votes. Yet if the following comparatively slight changes in the popular vote had taken place the result of the election would have been reversed: Prison Reform Association, whose : one of the boys yet, and it amuses me Collective'heart aches beautifully '^e incarerated. for •«# "A VERMONTEU has sent an tion to the fairautborities to be al- jjy lowed to exhibit his needlework in 4' the woman's building.

Soon after the 70-year-old and the 75-year-old got off the car, and before any of the three bad consented to take the seat. • Then with a sigh of content the 80-year-old sank into the place, murmuring, "We boys will be boys."--New York Herald.

Tite free Maierlnl Humbug*. "When the free trader is announcing the great "captures" of trade this country will make in the markets ot the world with the help of free raw materials it never occurs to him to explain why we are not already in possession of those markets in the very important lines of production which have enjoyed free materials for years. Take for example the three classes of raw materials, paper stock, silk and cotton. They are all abso­ lutely free of duty, If the free trade theory is correct we should be export­ ing immense quantities of paper, cot­ tons and silks to the captured mar­ kets. But we do nothing yf th* kind. On the contrary, our imports pf those very things far exceed in value our exports of them, as will be seen by the following figures for 1892: Imports. Exports.

Some of the prophets are saying that Harrison is the "logical" candi­ date for 1896, others say that McKin- 1/y is, and still others say that a new iaan will come> to the front in the in­ terval and carry off the prize. This guessing is easy and fascinating, but at this early stage of the game It does uot satisfy anybody, not even the jfuesser. Of course it is the Cleveland precedent that gives Harrison a place in the guessing, for if anybody else but Cleveland had been nominated by the Democrats and elected last year uobody would ever'think of Harrison again in connection with the Presi­ dency. If the tariff question should be sidf.-tracked in 1896 neither Har­ rison nor McKinley would have any chance for the nomination. In any contingency, however, there is less risk in betting on the "new man" than on any particular one of the old men. --Globe-Democrat. Governor McKlnley's Speech. Governor McKinley has no apology to make for protection. His speech before the Ohio wool-growers was inspiring and confident, ring­ ing declaration, "I do not believe in giving up the tight after one engage­ ment and one defeat," expresses the overwhelming sentiment of the Re­ publican party. The steadfast cham pion of protection bases his advocacy of that policy on the only foundation broad enough to lend it stability and permanency. Gov. McKinley favors protection for all American interests, and is unalterably opposed to "having commodities free at one end of th factory and tariffed at the other end. If Republicans firmly maintain this principle throughout' the coming free-trade experiment the future of protection is secure. His Future Behind Hlaa. Gen. Weaver feels proud of the popular vote which he received for President, but the fact remains that Fillmore, the Know-nothing candi date for the Presidency in 1856, re ceived almost as many votes when the population of the country was only a little more than a third as large as it was in 1892. Moreover, Fillmore's party had virtually disap­ peared from the stage four years after the time that he was its stand ard-bearer. History is extremely likely to repeat itself in this case Undoubtedly Populist strength cul minated in 1892. Weaver's future i« all behind him. tlrover'» Defeat In Murphy's Case. Mr. Cleveland's defeat in the Sen­ ators)-) ip mutter in New York is reu dered all the more humiliating tohim by the fact that it was altogether needless. He had ng right to inter­ fere in the affair one way or the oth er. Everybody knew, of course, that Murphy would not be Cleveland^ choice, but it he had kept silent about the matter Murphy's victory could not be considered a direct and formal setback for him.

A change of about 32,01)0 votes would have taken eighty electoral votes from Cleveland's column and would have given 224 electoral votes, a majority of the Electoral College, to Harrison. These are facts which all Republi­ cans v#ll do well to bear in mind Cleveland's Black-List. It may be taken for granted that Cleveland is not going to give any o< the patronage to the men who were actively engaged in the movement against, his nomination at Chicago. The fact that they supported him after he was made the standard-bear­ er of the party in spite of them counts for nothing with a man of his temperament and characteristics. Proof «f Good Management. The Illinois Republicans found a deficit in the State treasury, and they have so managed public affairs as to create a surplus of over $4,000, 000, which is more then the Demo­ crats have ever done in any State. THE results of the Peary expedition clearly determine that Greenland is an island. The Inland ice cap of Greenland has been found to termi­ nate throughout its entire extent at about the eighty-second parallel of latitude. North of this latitude the land is uncovered so that it supports both plant and animal life. The pole of greatest cold may not by any means be the geographical pole of tho* earth; the region of intensest cold may be a zone twenty degrees even south of the pole. There is every reason to believe that over the polar tract there is an almost continuous migration of animal and vegetable forms. Glaciers even project into the polar ocean, and discharge their icebergs there. The day is not dis­ tant when the "open polar sea" will be traversed by some favored adven­ turer, and if "Symes' hole" exists, he will certainly run into it.

"I have Been this proved any number of times. Several years ago I was called in con- Riiltdtion by an examining physician of a Life Insurance Company to look at a man who wished a $10,1>00 policy. This man had a black mole on his right tem­ ple. I advised the physician to reject the applicant unless he had that mole removed. The would-be policy-holder laughed at me and angrily said he'd have-nothing juore-to do •with-a concern that accepted such idiotic advice. More than that, he said he'd wear that mole for fifty years if he lived that long, just to prove me a quack. In less than year a very malignant cancer developed lrom that very mole, and within two years from the time I examined him he was a dead man, the cancer ending his life. But the dermatologist has not yet discovered why moles become cancers, or how it is known that the pigment or coloring matter in them is the poison that starts the growth. Fame Oft Comes Unsought. Few of the men who enjoy world-wide fame ever set out to win it, and many of them did not eare C snap of the finger for it. Socrptes and Plato are famous because of their wisdom; Alex ander and Caesar because of their con quests; Isaiah and Paul because ot their moralsupremacy. Biionarotti and Shakspeare and Dante owe their lame to artistic genius; Newton to his scientific discoveries; Bacon to his learning; Washington to his patriotic services; and Edison to his inventions. The famous men of the world have been men who possessed great powers of mind, or who performed great deeds. They did not win fame by seeking lor it.
