New SwINDLNG DoDGE.-Pretended
firms in this city advertise in the country
papers to furnish Alaska diamonds, equal in
all respects to the genuine article, except in
their intrinsic value. They request that
when rings are ordered, ring already pos
sessed by the owner may be sent them, in
order that the size of the finger may be as
certained. On receipt of the specimen,
they forward their trash by express to be
collected for on delivery. If the specimen
ring should be worthless, they include it in
the parcel, but, if it should happen to be
valuable, they etain it, and any attempt on
the part of the loser to regain his property,
proves fruitless, inasmuch as no firms with
the title they give, are to be found at the
address given. A case comes under notice

The Imperialist.

We have scarcely noticed this Impe-
rialist aspirant for. public favor, not
because it is not conducted with ability
and propriety, but because its function
Z is supererogatory, for as simple mat
ter of fact, more than half of the jonrn
ais OF the country, the government,
army, navy, all the powers of the ru-
ling faction for eight years past, how
ever blindly, have constantly labored
to establish monarchy, and the prob
lem is now to be solved, shall we re-
store our Democratic system now in
ruins, or march on in pursuit.of impe-
rialism, until the whole land is a vast
pandemonium of horrors2 We say in
pursuit, for the all-sufficient reason
that monarchy is as eternaily impossi-
Bile in this country as is Democracy on
the principles of the ruling faction
there can be nothing but anarchy, that
same chronic anarchy that we witness
In Mexico and South America, until the
anarchical elements are slonghed off,
die out, become extinct !like the In
dlans." Monarchy consists in the rule
OF classes that is, in artificial distinc-
I tons in our own race, and Democracy
IS based on the natural distinction of
ace, and which necessarily prevent
the former. Ii, therefore, the natural
and eternally ordained rule of the
white man over the negro be abolished,
ignored, debauched, lost sight of. and
the American masses distorted and de-
graded into common citizenship with
negroes, of course we must drift back
INTO monarchism just to the extent
that that becomes practicable with such
material. But, we repeat, monarchism,
as it proved in Mexico, is as impossible
as Democracy on Mongrel basis, and
therefore the Imperialist is fooling
away its time. q There is one cure for
the nation-Restoration of the White
or death-death to our civili-
cation as we'll as liberty, and, every
man in our midst that assents to Mon |
