The fact has bean unearthed that theMiami Indians, who once inhabited[Northern Illinois, were cannibals. Theywere forced to abandon the practice !soon after the settlement of Chicago, |however. The old settlers of that in-teresting burg were too tough.

CaSSlus M. Cla\, who is eighty-three, attributes his continued mentaland physical vigor to the fact that helias never used stimulants in the courseof his life. Those who have heard himspeak cannot make a like claim, for hisoratory is of the most intoxicating de-scription.

Itmust gravel some of these paperswhich have howled calamity so vocifer-ously and "viewed with alarm" theclosing of factories as the result of aDemocratic administration's incoming,to have to print each day's list of fac-tories and mills and shops and banksresuming operations. Itis a powerfuldish of crow, and, on the dead quiet,boys, how do you like it?

» ,Probably one of the best results of

the recent elections was to retire thatbloviant braggart and broiler, Paul deCassaonac, toprivate life. He was aconstant menace to the good order anddignity of the house of deputies, andby his bullying manner has many timesbrought disgrace upon the body ofwhich he was a member. Ifhis retire-ment shall be permanent, the Frenchpeople will merit congratulations.

Silver is getting a black eye allmound the globe. First it was de-monetized inIndia; then the monetarycongress kicked itout of doors; Canadarefused to receive our coin, even at theheavy discount previously charged, andnow Russia has barred her doors againstall silver coins of a fereign mint.Added to this is the • action of theAmerican house of representatives,booh to be followed by similar action onthe part of.the senate. Ttiere need beno wonder that the silverites at Wash-ington feel blue.

Wr. auk just beginning to get a real"Democratic change,*' and there is lotsmote of the same kind coming. It willtome faster after BillMcKinley'sBiontrosity, his "tariffofabominations,"

Is wiped off.and after the kinks in themonetary. system' are straightened outand a good, sound, safe, universal moneyis provided, and the rascals are all turnedout and packed off about their busi-ness. But candidly, between us two,don't you think that you made ; a pre-cious ass of yourself with your slobberabout that "Democratic change?"

4».THE EXPOSITION OPEN.

With characteristic enterprise Minne-apolis has tilingher banner to the breezeand started on yesterday a thirty-dayexposition. The state fair organizationsuccumbed to the world's fair, and de-cided not to try conclusions with thatstupendous exhibit. Not so with Min-neapolis. The greater the competitionthe greater effort our sister city makest® keep in the van. The exposition thisyear bids fair to be more attractive thanever.

\u25a0\u25a0»POLICE AND CRIMINALS.

Police officials are usually shrewdmen, but they are not exempt from de-lusions, some of them pardonable, andsome of them foolish. One of these de-lusions was illustrated by the secrecywhich was maintained about the rob- Ibery of the safe in the office of the chiefof police, which occurred some time be-tween Saturday evening and Mondaymorning. No whisper of the occurreni cwas permitted to reach the ears of thepublic, and had itnot been for the vigi-lance of reporters of the Globe, fewwould know of it today. This secrecywas maintained, the police aver, inorderto give tiie burglars no clue as to whatwas transpiring in police circles, lestthey be frightened away and their capt-ure prevented. The same secrecy ismaintained as toother criminal doings,and the same reasons for that secrecyare given.

The mistake of the police is in oresutning that expert thieves are uncom-mon fools. Bobberies are planned andmeans of escape are determined uyon

by the thieves with the full knowledgethat the police willbe on their track assoon as the lo«s of the property is dis-covered; and the thieves, in nine casesout of ten, are keener than the police.They know every officer of the law onsight, are informed as to his haunts, hishabits and his peculiarities, while thepolice are in the dark as to the identity,the associates and the habits of thecrook. Burglars know ere they commita crime that the police willbe on theirtrack immediately if they have leftany traces behind. They are not sofoolish as to suppose that, if they see noreport of their doiiurs in the newspa-pers, the robbery has not been discov-ered, and they relax no precautions toavoid detection and arrest because ofthe omitted publication. The policehave a mistaken notion of the shrewd-ness of the thieves ifthey conceive sucha thing, and by keeping the detailssecret they frequently close avenues bywhich the guilty men might be broughtto justice..The wider the publicity given to acrime, the more likelyare the perpetra-tors to be brought to justice. Instancesmight be cited by the score in whichcrimes have been unearthed arid crimi-nals brought to the bar of retributionthrough the investigations ofnewspaperreporters after all the ingenuity of thepolice had been exhausted in vain. Thepolice of St. Paul are slow to learn thelesson which they must learn ulti-mately ifthey would win success over thecriminal classes, that the successful anddaring thief is a man of more thanaverage intelligence, is alert andwatchful, both of his victims and ofthose set to watch him, and that he can-not be deluded into a sense of securitythrough the suppression of public rec-ord of his misdeeds.

The St. Paul police may be shrewdmen, but the thieves they have to copewithcan give them points in shrewd-ness.

A WASTE OP TIME.It is not pleasant to see the ways and

means committee ot this congress fol-lowingthe precedent established by itsRepublican predecessors of giving hear-ings to the representatives of the in-dustries affected by the tariff. We aresurprised that the practice receives theassent of the chairman of that commit-tee. We recall an especially effectivespeech he made in the Fifty-secondcongress, iv which, with cutting sar-casm, be showed who made the McKin-ley tariff, quoting from the reports ofthe hearings the views of the variousmanufacturers as to what the tariff ontheir particular line should be, and com-paring them with the provisions of thebill.

Under a system which laid impostsfor the sake of protection and not forrevenue as its primalobject, there wasa fitness in calling in the representa-tives of the industries to be protected toascertain how much protection theywanted and the most effective way ofsecuring it,but that policy was rejectedby a very decisive majority of the peo-ple, and one inaugurated the sole pur-pose of which is to get revenue. Theeffect it may have on manufactures isan unavoidable incident, but not at alloue that should be given weight. Titoplain selfish interest of the manufact-urer is to get as large a tax as is possi-ble: the only interest the governmenthas is to get tho largest possible amountof revenue.

Under a revenue system of tariff taxa-tion the only point to be determined isthe'revenue point; that is, that point inthe scale of taxation where the lowesttax willyield the largest amount ofrevenue. This is not to be ascertainedfrom the manufacturers. Their opinionson itare worthless. It is a question ofcalculations only based on the statisticsof trade and consumption. The materialsfor the investigation are not in thecounting houses of the mi!R and shops,but inthe statistics of the treasury de-partment. The reports of the censusbureau, too. will afford data useful inthe investigation.

There is only one point from whichthis waste of time presents any excuse,and that does not amount to a justifica-tion. Were the committee to proceedwith the formulation . of a tariff billwithout givinga hearing to all the self-ish Interests which have flocked theresession after session to gt-t legal permitto fatten on the people, there would riseat once and sweep over the country aRepublican howl about "star-chamberproceedings;" the "poor workingman"would be told that the committee wasintent on reducing him to the "pauperlevel" by denying a hearing to his nat-ural protectors, his employers. But theeffort to be fair will be futile. What-ever the committee does or does not, thehowl willcome. Within three monthsit willdeafen their ears with its curd-ling sound.

There has been too much delay al-ready. The committee should have

been at work in May. The change insystems was ordered last November.The manufacturing industries nearlyor remotely dependent on the tariff arein a condition of uncertainty, naturally.Every consideration requires that thatperiod of suspense should be made asshort as possible, so that trade may beadjusted to the .new conditions. Thehearings are farcical as far as they havegone. Under the old system manufact-urers knew what they came there for.Itisevident that they do not know what

they are asked there for now. \u25a0 Theycould undertsaud how protective taxesinterested them; they caunot see howmerely revenue

'taxes do. .Stop, the

farce, gentlemen of the ways "~andmeans; close your, doors; call inyourexperts from the treasury and give thecountry a revenue bill as soon as pos-sible. _

PARTIES IX IOWA.Citizens of the Hawkeye state are fa-

vored withmore politics to the squareacre than any commonwealth in theUnion, Kansas not excepted. There arenow no less than five state tickets inthe field, the Democratic, the Repub-lican, the Prohibition-Republican, thestraight-out Prohibition and the Popu-ist. Where there is so large an assort-

ment to choose from, there seems to beno good reason whyevery one shouldnot be suited, no matter what his Ideasupon questions of public policy may be.

The situation in the state is extremelycomplicated. The Democrats are unitedin support of the present administrationof Gov. Boies, and will give theirticket, composed of men of reputationand ability, a cordial and united sup-port. The organization is harmoniousand compact, and has the advantage ofpossession, a well-disciplined, enthusi-astic and courageous following, and isbacked by a splendid record, by whichithas won the confidence of the com-munity. Its prospects of success areassuring. The Republicans are disor-ganized by repeated defeats and inter-nal dissensions. Tho attitude of theparty on the temperance question hasbeen vacillating and ambiguous. Ithas endeavored to please the saloonand the anti-saloon elements, and hassucceeded iv satisfying neither. Thetemperance element can place no de-pendence upon its professions offriendship, nor do the saloon menfeel any assurance that they willnot bo betrayed. Its platform wascowardly —so much so that itaroused the ire of a large num-ber of honorable men who havehitherto trained in its ranks, and thesehave recently held a convention of theirown, at which they spoke out bravely indefense of their principles and in de-nunciation of Republican double-deal-ing, and placed a ticket representingtheir views in the field. The regularProhibitionists thought it unwise andinexpedient to abandon their organiza-tion, and they, too, will march to thepolls and vote for the men of theirchoice; while the Populists, being a pe-culiar people, holding to opinions thatfind no echo in either of the otherparties, are flocking by themselves.There is yet time for placins a few moretickets iuthe field before election, butitis likely that those mentioned willcomplete the roll. If the principlesenunciated by these various organiza-tions fail to suit any individual voter,there is no law that need hinder himfrom forming a party "all alone by him-self," and expressing his convictions at,

the pulls with as much emphasis as shallsuit his pleasure, thus adding to the"picturesqueness of the political land-scape, and maintaining the reputation

of iowans as a peculiar people.—EXIT EMIN PASHA.

E.mi.v Pasha, the noted African ex-plorer, is again reported dead. His deathhas been reported on several previousoccasions, but after the lapse of a fewweeks or months he has bobbed upserenely In some out-of-the-way regionof the earth, manifesting unmistakablesigns of life. But this time, the reportgoes, he is not only dead, but eaten. Hefurnished a toothsome repast for a bandofcannibalistic Africans a longdistancein the interior, lie left as mementoesof his fate a case of scientific instru-ments which the natives could^ neithereat nor use, for they were not suitablelor wearing apparel, and they were for-warded to the nearest white settlementwith the compliments of the surfeitedcannibals. Itis therefore probable thatEmin has gone for good.

Emm Pasha was a German by birth.He adopted the Mohammedan faith,andassumed the name and habits of a Mo-hammedan that he might better prose-cute his scientific and geographical re-searches. He was one of Stanley'slieutenants on that explorer's last jour-ney "Through Darkest Africa." Butthe two quarreled. Stanley failed torecognize the work of Emm in his pub-lished reports of his discoveries, and thelatter retorted by publishing his ownversion of the wanderings of the parly,which reflected severely upon the per-sonal bravely of Stanley, and convict-ed him of acts of cruelty and barbarismthat caused the civilized world a shud-der. Itis more than probable that E.vuxspoke the truth, yet he was compelledto suffer through the overshadowing in-fluence of Stanley with the Europeangeographical societies under whose di-rection his explorations had been made.

While Stanley abandoned his re-searches in equatorial Africa, being ;content with the honors he had alreadyachieved, Emm Pasha was determinedto penetrate still farther into the re-gions of the dark continent. His partywas smaller than that which accompa-nied Stanley, and its equipment wasless complete. Nevertheless, he didnot lack in daring, and visited portionsof the world never before trodden bythe foot of a white man. His tragicfate was precipitated by his disregardof the tenets of Mohammedanism, towhich he professed allegiance. Itisprobable that, after his personal effectsshall be examined, some valuable in-formation touching the regions he hadrecently traversed willbe found. Ifso,he willnot have lived in vain.

-^^-On the fifthpage we repubiish from

the Atlantic Monthly for September avery entertaining paper by E. V. Smal-LEY,editor of the Northwest Magazine,entitled "The Isolation of Life onPrairie Farms." Residents of the North-west will recognize in Mr.Smalley's

paper a not overdrawn picture, and willapDreciate the force of his suggestions.There is nothing iv this country whichis more inneed of change and ameliora-tion than prairie farm life.

«•»Chief Gauvin says he would keep a

policeman sitting on the safe in his of-fice, but he does not think he ought tocompel an officer to take the rhk of be-ingblown up. The burglars might tapthe safe from the bottom. Then whatwould become of the fellowon top?

SEPTEMBER MAGAZINES.The Century for September has an

entertaining billof fare. Letters of thelate Phillips Brooks, written to hisbrother , from India, are entertaining,though not as attr etive as the rollick-ing ones written to his brother's chil-dren and published in the August num-ber. Henry Cabot Lodge has a "thought-ful article on immigration, based oncensus, statistics, arriving at the con-clusion.now auite generally shared, that'this land of the free should more closely ;scrutiuize our incoming population witha view of protecting society from law-less and pauper classes. The system-.,atic efforts of European governments to!unload their objectionable classes upon"us is one which every desirable immi-grant will join in desiring to seethwarted. Bret Harte has a story, "TheHeir of the Mcllulishes," in two parts,the first being given In the Septemberissue. "Sights at the Fair," by GustavKobbe, is entertaining, and of coursethe Midway Plaisance comes iv for itsshare of criticism.* « *\u25a0 \V*•In the Atlantic for

'S?ptember thereader finds standard literatute char-acteristic of the magazine and of Bos-ton, its home. "Wildcat Banking inthe Teens," by J. B. McMaster, is avaluable history of early financial oper-ation. "Life on Prairie Farms" is thetitie of a paper by E. V. Smaller, of St.Paul, editor of the Northwest Magazine.Mr.Smalley depicts the lor.esonienessof the Northwestern prairie home in astyle which ail who are familiar withthe subject can appreciate. The paparappears entire elsewhere. A review ofEdwin Booth as an actor, by Henry A.Clapp. is another attractive paper.* * *

Though tho Cosmopolitan has cut itsprice in twain, being now sold for 12-.;cents per copy, it has not deterioratedeither inmatter or illustration. Itstylesits September issua a world's fair num-ber, and very appropriately so. Itisthe most elaborate review of the fairyet attempted by any current publica-tions. Tiie illustration!1, ninety-six innumber, are superb. Tha article, orrather the series of articles, comprisesnearly 100 pages. Itis divided in sec-tions—"First Impressions," by WalterBesant; "The Foreign Buildings," byPrice Collier; "Manufacturers' Build-ing," by George F. Kunz; "The Wom-an's Exhibit." by Ellen W. Hen-rotiu; "Foreign Folk at the Fair,"by Julian Hawthorne; "Electricity."by Marat llalsted: "Transportation,"by J. B. Walker; "Mines and Metal-lurgy," by F. J. V. Skiff; "Chicago En-tertainment of Distinguished Visitors,"by 11. C. Chatneld-Taylor; "The Gov-ernment Exhibit," by F. T. Bickford;"Ethnology," by Franz Boas, and"Points of Interest," by ex-PresidentHarrison. All of this is a symposiumwhich can scarcely be estimated at amoney value. Ten times the cost of themagazine would be a trifle as comparedwith its real -worth. Possibly it.may beequaled— it willnot be surpassed.

» * »

The North American Review forSeptember is of exceptional merit, evenjudged by the standard of its own su-perior quality. The leading article ison "The Political Situation," by ex-Speaker Thomas B. Reed, and is an able:presentation in favor of tha ideas of theparty of which he is a brightand shin-inglight. Mr.Reed handles his subjectwith marked ability and ingenuity, andalthough the reader may agree withneither his premises nor conclusions, 1113argument is nevertheless interesting]"The Wealth of New York" is the titleof a somewhat optimistic review byMayor Gilroy, while "The Silver Prob-lem" is discussed by Andrew Carnegieand Sir John Lubbock. The high liter:.;ary excellence that marks jultho papers-:in this number renders the Review ofin-;estimable value.** * 0

The New England Magazine for thecurrent month is attractive, both on ac-count of the character of the contentsand the superior quality of the engrav-ings which embellish it. "TempestIsland" is an engaging story, with amoral on sociology, by Nathan HaskellDole. Anagricultural experiment sta-tion is illustrated jvith pen' and pencil;the interest in "John Ballautyne, Gen-tleman," is well maintained throughtwo additional chapters, and there aremany other features that are well worthengaging the attention of the reader.• * »

The Humanitarian, Victoria Wood-hull Martin's magazine, is evidently afixture among the London periodicals,for it has attracted wide attention, andits contributors arc numbered amongthe best people of England. WalterBesant, the dean of St. Paul's. Sir li.W. Richardson ami other eminent manare heard on a variety ofsubjects in theissue for the current month, while Mrs.Martin herself discusses "The Princi-ples of Finance." Mrs. Martin has ap-parently laid aside many of her extremeviews on social subjects, aud has cometoaccept modern society as it is, whileat the same time she is labor withinconventional channels to improve itstone. * • «

The Idler bears the imprint of thegenius for descriDtion possessed in sucheminent degree by its editor, Jerome K.Jerome. The article in the Septembernumber which he contributes bears theodd title "People 1Have Never Met."It is certainly a very 'entertainingpaper. "The Memoirs of a FemaleNihilist," by Sjphie Wessilieff, con-tains many strange incidents and ad-ventures. The magazine is beautifullyillustrated. * * #

Travelers in South Africa writingofthe diamond tiiggintrs tell us that theworkmen and crub-staked employes inthe mines of Kimberly are stripped andsearched upon tho close of each day'slabor for Mirpurpose of findingwuetherany gen.s have been concealed aboutthe person. We are readily assured,however, that discipline is not quite sorigidlyenforced in "The Dark Conti-nent," which willbe at the Grand nextweek. Oliver Byron* play d;-als withthe iife and characteristics of the dia-mond mines. The piece has had a bigrun abroad. Everybody lovesuiainonds,and most people love a irood play. Andifyou can tret the play and the diamondstogether, so much the better. Thesparkle of the diamond runs all throusrh"The Dark Continent." The scenesare of the diamond fields. They wereconstructed from special studies of thediamond-digging region. The Byroncompany dies for diamonds every night,We are told that every member of it.from the star to super, wears diamonds.The advance tr.au lights up the wayahead witn the biggest kind of dia-monds. The action of the play turnson diamonds. People who go to see itwear diamonds. When they go homethey lie awake nights thinking how tokeep from being hypnotized out of theirdiamonds. For, besides givinga faith-ful portraiture of diamond fields anddiamond workers, tin;authors of "TheDark Continent" have brought in theclever scheme of hypnotism to showhow some people get diamonds withoutany work. As to net a chance to weardiamonds without work seems to be thegrand desideratum of human existence,this scheme of hypnotism would appearto be worth the price of admission.

Jubilee Sinjjers.

The management of the Auditoriumhave, in placing the general admissionand pick of seats unreserved through-out the house at the sum of 25 cents,

struck a key in perfect harmony withthe condition of the times. They hopeby so doing to gain as much as theywould if the old prices were kept up.by doubling tiie number of patrons, aswell as giving everybody an opportu-nity to see the really good entertain-ment they have booked. Next week,commencing Sunday, the Jubilee Sing-ers, fifty in number, from MadisonSquare garden, will eive asacred con-cert, and the balance of the week wiliput on that most amusing of all comic-alities. "The Cake Walk," in connec-tion with their regular concert and bandperformance. Manager Edwards, ofthe National Amusement Associationof New York, is in charge of the cotn-pany, and will offer some very valua-ble prizes to be competed for by localcake walkers, who, it is reported, willbe able to take some of the laurels fromtheir New York brethren.

KDLES FOR THE HOUSE.

COMMITTEE ON RULES WILL HAVEALMOST ABSOLUTE POWER.

BUSINESS MAYNOW PROGRESS

Voorliees Worries the Silver MenIn the Senate— His Motion toTake Up the Repeal BillPassed by a Vote of 35 to 21—Stewart and Teller XalK Sil-ver.

Wasuington, Sept. 6.—The housecom pleled the consideration of therules today, and they were adoptedwithonly two important chantres fromthe form in which they cathe from thecommittee. The first change placedthe committees on banking and cur-rency and coinage, weights and meas-ures on the same footing with the waysand means and appropriations commit-tees, clothing them with power to re-port at any time. The second restoresthe size of ilie quorum in the committeeof the whole to the old number, a ma-jorityof the house.

Tlie rules committee made a completesurrender on the latter proposition, andGen. Catchinps' announcement tinsniornfng of Uie fact that the committeehad deckled to retreat from its positionin iavor of reducing tlte size of aquorum to 100 members save rise to themost entertaining debate of the day. Itwas participated in by the leaders ofboth sides. Two amendments, one byDearmond, of Missouri, providing for"docking" members for absenteeism,and oiie by Enloe, of Tennessee, pro-viding for 'congressional funeral serv-ices on Sundays, failed. In the con-cluding debate, when Mr. Burrows of-fered the code of the Fifty-firstcongressas a substitute, he declared with muchemphasis and something likeexultationthat under the code about to be adoptedthe iiouse could be oound hand and footby filibusters, and he himself couldblock allbusiness from now on untiltheend of the session unless the aid of thecommittee on rules were invoked.

Infact, according to his opinion, therules would plafo in the hands of thecommittee on rules absolute power overall legislation. As soon as tne ruleswere adopted a great avalanche of billswas piled breast high on the speaker'stable.

KEPH.-VL VICTORY.

Voorhpes Causes a Slight Dis-turbance Among Silveriies.

Washington, Sept. (i.—ln the senatetoday Mr. Voorhees pursued certainparliamentary tactics which greatlyworried the opponents of repeal. Hefirst stated that for the present he wouldnot press his resolution changing thehour of meeting ot the senate from lito 11 o'clock. This gave the sil-ver men the impression thatthe chairman of the finance committee,in viewof the fact that last night themotion to proceed to consideration ofexecutive business had been carried,notwithstanding the earnest oppositionof the friends of repeal, was indisposedto test the sense of tiie senate oniiis resolution. In the courseof a half hour, within lessthan ten minutes of the time when therepeal bill would have been laid beforethe senate as the regular order. Mr.Voorhees moved that tl^e repeal bill betaken up, and tills motion was carriedby a vote of 35 to 2k Mr. Voorhees in-creased the confusion among the ranksof the silver men by moving an exec-utive session, allowing Mr. Stewart,who was speaking at the time, to re-sume the floor inthe morning, and thismotion was carried.

Mr.Mills(Dem., Tex.) had given no-tice of his intention to address the sen-ate today, but Sir. Stewart occupied theentire time given to the repeal bill.

The most important bill introducedtoday was that by Senator Cullom (itop.111.) to repeal all laws crealinir or pro-yid.iiir tor the maintenance of the siuk-ing fund.

The motion to take up the repeal billwas agreed to, yeas :;~, stays 21. Theresult was considered by the repeal menas a temporary victory. The vote in de-tail was as follows:
