Aside from these the eourts have nothing to do with the policy or justice of systems of finds that the sop- arate classification of railroads for the purpose of taxation is entirely proper, " | that assessment upon value rather than - cosLis legitimate, and that the apportion 1 ment of the tax for state and municipal purposes does not affect the validity of the Inw.

We have waited patiently for a denial from Auditor Babeock and his friends of the charge made in Monday's Ber con- cerning malfeasance in the office of the state auditor of public aceonnts. Up to the present time we have waited in vain. No denial has come because none can be made. The persistent violation by Auditor Babeock of the constitutional proviso regarding the eolleetion and retention of fees, makes it the duty of the governor to promptly suspend him from the office of trust which he has abused for personal ends. In retaining several thousands of dollars of the state funds, which ought long ago to have been cov- ered into the treasury, Mr. Babcock has made himself liable to impeachment, When to this offense 1s added the un- authorized issuo of warrants on the state treasury in advance of the levy, the case against the auditor becomes so serions that the governor cannot well afford to ignore it. Auditor Babeock is reported as s that he is only following precedent. ecedent referred to can only mean that y ex-Auditor Leidtke, whose aleation in the office which Mr. Bab- cock now holds made him a fugitive from Justice and his bondsm several thous- and dollars poorer. Such a precedent is not a safe one to follow. ———— Foolish Bravado, The blood-thirsty defenders of the rights of the United States to tax Cana- dian fish landed in this country and of the right of American fishermon to have free use of Canadian fishing grounds and ports are talking some very arrant non- sense when they urge armed reprisals and foretble demonstrations against Great Britain because she chooses to dispute our position on the fishery question, Armed reprisals mean war,and a war on the waters Eetween the wooden tubs which we dignify by the name of a navy and Great Britain's iron monsters would be concluded in short metre very much to our disadvantage. We would run about as much chance of in a conflict with No well regulated life insurance company would take a risk at 1y preminm on the life of an Amer naval commander sailing the best v in our navy to engage the lowest classed English sloop-of-war. Compared with England’s navy we are deficient in two all important particulars. We lack guns and . we lack ships to earry them. We also need a few sea couast defenses to protect our ports. If we had all these, we might be able to carry a chipon our shoulder for other countries to knock off. But even then it would be poor policy on an 1ssue of salt codlish, fresh bait and protection to New England fishmongers. So far as the west is concerned she de- clines to boil over with indignation be- cause the schooner Maine is denied fishing pr perquisites on the coastof a country which for more than a year has been patiently waiting for congress to renew the fishery treaty which we permitted to ex- pire under President Arthur's adminis- tration. The New England representa- tives musjudge the temper of this scction of the ‘country if they imagine that sensible citizens will lash themselves into fury over the question whether the vroducts of free ocean are to be ed when brought into ports by friendly neighbors. When the protection idea is expanded so asto cover codfish, mackerel and herring it becomes very attenuated. A reciprocity treaty with Canada would have prevented the entire trouble which we have drawn down oa ourselves. Now that Messrs. Frye and his New England comrades have precipi- tated this international dispute, they must not expect to precipitate war as the only settlement of the question. The game is not worth the ammunition. Be- sides, there is such a thing as starting out gunning and coming back seriously dis- mantled by the discharge of weapons in tho hands of the hunted. 3 A Braye Fight, Senator Dolph, of Oregon, has so far failed in hislittle scheme to pass a bill, forfeiting a small patch of the Northern *acific land grant, which the compuny has no use for, and has never earned, in order to confirm the title to millions of other acres which that company now fraudulently holds. Senator Van Wyck promptly took the floor and exposed the true inwardness of this mtfully drawn measure, He offered as an amendment a bill, reported 1n the house, reswnn; 45 the public domain. 27 * ettiement all of the ifimense grant not earned at the time specifie in the granting act. This raised such a tempest of opposition that the senator to test the sense of the senate substituted in amendment to which no reusonable and honest public representative could obj 1t was that all lands not earned at the date of passage of the vending bill should be declured forfeited. But even this fair proposition was vigorously de- nounced by such men as Edmunds, Cock- rvell, Dolph, Mitehell, and Platt, wud its object will probably be defeated. The limit of the Northern ie lund grant oxpired on the 4th of July, 18. On that date overy acre of land not earned by construction should have passed into the hands of the government. ‘I'wenty willions of acres are now held illegally from sottlement by this great corpora- tion whose paid attorneys swarm in the senate ehamber and succeed in obstruct- ing all legislation which will loosen the clutch of the monopoly managers on their fraudulent possessions. In its last party platform, the republican party pledged itself to secure the forfeiture of ull uncarned rvailway graunts. Senator Van Wyek for Nebraska ut least has kept the oarty pledgo. Day in and out he has lubored to fulfii the promise made by his party st Chicago, demanded by the terests of a vast section of country, and supported by his owa honest convictions, He has endured the abuse of the mon- opoly press, snd the attacks of the rail- road attorneys in the houses of congress. I'he sentiment of the country and the approvul of his constituents is back of him in the wmanly fight which he is making to preserve the public domain from the greed of the railroad land sharks, and to restore to settlers the rich horitage of land which jobbery and the lobby are withliolding from public settle- went. Sre———— WL the foo! fricnds of General Miles o their business ‘to denounce Crook's ] methods of Apache warfare, give us their honest opinion of results since Miles took his seat in the saddle along the Mexican border? There have been hurrying and scouting and high-sounding reports of what was and what was not to be done, but Geronimo still skips from canyon to mountain top leaving a trail of blood in his wake with the blue coats miles away. Time will prove the value of Crook's method of warfare with the Apaches, which of necessity differed widely from the means used to subdue the hostiles of the plains, Resurrecting Adam. The Presbyterian general assembly of the south has been recently holding & kind of post mortem examination on the remainsof Adam. The controversy arose over the question of creation by evolu- tion or by apecial acts. The general assembly wae divided into two hostile mps, each sworn toannihilate the other in the cause of truth. A committee re- portin due course of business came be- fore the assembly, declaring that Adam's was directly fashioned by Almighty God withoutany natural animal parentage of any kind and of matter previously created of nothing,”’ and that any other belief will lead to the “denial of doctrines fundamental to the faith.” The anti- evolutionists in the southern mbly propose, in a word, to keep science away from religion, while the other sic answer with a proposition to keep relig- ion out of the field of science. A German thinker once remarked that the Bible tells how to go to heaven and not how the heavens go, and this is the position of Professor Woodrow, of Columbix theolog- ical seminary, whom the anti-evolutionists are determined to drive ont the Presby- tevian ministry. “The seriptures,’ said Dr. Woodrow, in his speech before the assembly, “teach only two things—what man is to believe concerning God, and what duty God requirez of man. . . . Has not the church always been in error where it has undertaken to deny scientitic truth? Would it not be an error now to make such absolute deliveran the creation of man?" Notwiths Dr.Woodrow's eloquent speech, the g bly settled the matter by a voie of 1 13 that Adam was born without any ani- mal parentage, and t* 2t the act of tion did not take any perceptible tim Then Adam’s body was once more buried, and the assembly turned ats attention to burying Woodrow by declaving his theo- logical school closed. Dr. Woodrow is now enjoying a sort of religious mar- tyrdom which has become both popular and prolitable of late years, and may be sard to be on the high road to fortune. A large church in a large city will be all that is needed to securc him fame. He will accomplish as much good in such a sition as in « theological seminary, ys the Springtield Kepublican, *‘by liberalizing the views of southern men who believe that science is attempting to put a jack serew under the portals of ev- ting truth and to dislodge the uni- verse.' about Co 's Victory. Cornell university has not been winning many races, or base ball and foot ball contests recently, but shescored a yictory last week which is worth several cham- pionships in the athletic arena. The de- cision of Judge Lyon in the Fiske-Me- Graw will case secures to the uniyersity a magnificent endowment, amounting, it is estimated, to $1,500,000. The case was a very singularand disagreenble one. ‘The daughter of a wealthy benefactor of the institution, who was plainly on her death- bed from cousumption, was married to (Professor Fiske, then the librar- ian of the university. By the mar- ringe contract the husband relinquished all right to disposc of his wife’s prop- erty. After her death, however, he set up the claim that the will she had made giving the bulk of her property to Cor- nell could not stand because of & provis- ion in the charter of the university that limited 1t possessions to $3,000,000. He contended, ther efore, thut the will should be set aside, the effect of which would have been to giye him a larger share of his dead wife's fortune. The large amount of monzy involved, the circumstances of the marriage, and the relations of the parties in the case to ity, invested the trial with ex- interest, and the outcome has been awaited with great anxiety by all the friends of Cornell. Nuturally, few took Professor Fiske's side, though before his marriage he had been popular among the students, But the marriage was re- garded as o mercenary speculation on his part, und when it ap- peared that he was attempting to divert his wife bequest from the university to himself, the hostility beeame very bitter. Nor has it been les- sened by the continiied absence in Eu- rope of Fiske, as if unwilling to face his former fssociates. In any case he was to huve 300,000 by the will, and the gen- eral feehng was that this large sum was quite suflicient. ‘This splendid endow- ment #dded to Cornell’s present sub- stantinl foundation will make the unive sity next to Columbis the rich- est of American colleges. Plans have already been made for the expenditure of the money. They provide for notable additions to the buildings for library and general uses, for the strengthening of the teaching force and for the development of the university in various important directions. ‘Pae newspapers are already beginning to give Mrs. Cleveland some good advice. ‘The Chicago T¥mes says: “If the pres- ident’s wife is a careful housekeeper, her first business will be to clean off the dust that seems to have settled down upon the reform eabinet.” It is hoped that Dan Lamont will paste this in his scrap-book and eall Mrs. Cleveland’s attention to it u8 soon as possible after the honeymoon is over. Soume of our citizens are not waitng for otficial orders to replace their wooden sidewalks with durable stone or grano- lithie slabs.

Possibly its defeat was due to the throwing of the CLicago bomb. Certainly that crime made a re- sumption of work at any price almost a public necessity. Men were 1n no mood to discuss the right and wrong of any question, much less one that touched their pockets. With the going back to work, which was necessary, of course, the workingman abandoned his caunse. If eight hours eventuated, the concession cama voluntarily from the employer, and could not last in the face of overwhelm ing competition by mors greedy or less cupable uulnul"wtllrvrs. he dyed-m- the-wool “‘boss’’ or man-driver, whether rich or poor, hus chuckled his voice register down an octave in celebrating the surrender of Labor, and the peacc- able philosopher has beeu cqually glad when he has reckoned the blessings of peace. Why did not the men ask for nine hours at nine hours’ pay? That is a mystery the Current has t in vain to solve. ~ Probably they reserved nine hours for a hoped-for compromise. The eight-hour movement came on blindly. It was like & tidal-wave; it was from the bottom upward; it roiled the waters so0 that no man could see clearly; no prophet could forecast its length, strength or duration. It has ended us do nine out of ten movements that originate the same way, for they may sueceed only by revolution. Against the success of the elght-hour idea wasranged phalanx after plialanx of the upper classes of society. ourly every man in America who works less than ten hours a day vowed that the prineiple was wrong.

The Indian “Medicine Men's Fake' Which is About to Take in Country Towns. 4 A New York Special says: The secre- y of the New York medical society ns been istructed to formulate a denun- ciation of those pretended Indian doe who, during the last few summer seas have so multiplied throughout the coun- try. They travel from place to place. setting up animitation of an Indian camp in each, drawing crowds by means of a cruds y show of singing, dancing and athletic feats, and then seliing medi- cines composed ¢ stew of herbs made in a kettle over a fire in the presence of the spectators. Sometimes mystic rites \ge incantations anccompany the cture of the cure-ull, and the superstitious and ignorant are so im- pressed that they part with their dollars freely. The Medical Society will dire the attention of all the county medical ociations of the United States to the fact that, although these quacks are care- ful not to formally announce themselves as physicians, they do usually figure as “medicine men,” and are in effect medicul practitioners in the eye of the law. In some inst: the adventurer is a degenerate physician, entitled by diploma to practice, but that is unusual, and the societies will be urged to prose’ cute all the rest. The assertion w.llbe made that great narm and small good are_done to their patients, because the stuff’ sold is mustiuvuri:\blyusingxlu cathartie, likelier than not unsuited to the disease. Full a dozen tent concerns of this sort are being fitted out now in this city for the season. Onc venture of uncommon elabol ness is in preparation at one of the worst of the Chatman square concert halis. The boss is Henry Doadens, alias “ithe Pawnee,"” a big man with a swathy complexion and abundant long hair. He made a tour last year with an Indian medicine cmly) under the name of ‘‘Big Wonder," and his pecuniary success led him into the present extension of his bus- iness. He bas hired ten persons, consist- ing of five young women who will per- form in Indian dances; one y old and ugly one for n witch and fortune teller; two male athletes will appear in the more acrobatic feats of the mummeries, and two comic vocalists. All the women and some of the men will be stained a copper color and pass for In- dians. There will also be half- a-dozen real Indians from Canada, who will make and_ sell baskets and bead work. The viciousness of the place where this party is being formed led your correspondent to learn that more direct methods than medical quackery resorted to in swindling the people. He applied for the exclusive - th y monts privilege along with the camp, do- ing so by prozy, and Doadens said: ““Fhere 18 going to be o card racket, and I'm talking with a sharper for the biz; but my price is $30 a week, which he is willing to give. But he ain't got no boodle to nut up for securit nd 1 ain't giving that privilege away for an uncer- tainty. m a A clever man can scoop hundred a weck, oyer expenses, and it beats following a_ciref The ehumps just wander round our camp with their pocketbooks open and all you've got to do is help yourself.” —.— Who Gave Her Away? At o large and would-be fashionable wedding recently in & Massachusetts town the solemnity was rudoly disturbod by a rather unexpected answer, The bride hud entered on her uncle’s arm, and was met by the groom at the chancel. The uncle then retired and took a seat in the body of the house. All went well until the clorgyman asked the question: “Whe giveth this woman to be wedded to this man He paused for an answer, and the uncle rose and, placing his hands on the pew in front of him, said, in ac- cents louder than are common at wed- dings, ‘‘Me!"
