empted his claim by a peculiar ceremony. AS
the population of an outlying district increased
places of public worship, dedicated to Thor
or Frey, were established and courts were or
panized, while half q century after the landing
of Ingolf the island was divided into shires and
hundreds, a general legislative and judicial as
sembly was created, and the old Republic,
more aristocratic in its forms than in its es-
sence, began it's existence. The three and a
half centuries of this Republic form the golden
age ofIceland, during which its scaldic poems
were composed or collected, its codes of law
compiled, and its more important historical
sagas committed to writing.
The settlement of Iceland, which geographic
cally is itself a part of the Western World,
led to the colonization of Greenland and to the
discovery of the mainland Of North America,
the coast of which, probably as far south as the
Gulf of St. Lawrence, were repeatedly visited
by the hardy northern navigatOrs in the
eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
Some years ago the zeal Of a society of anti
Quaries at Copenhagen reconstructed the Vim
land of the old sagas and placed it in the modern
New England but a more faithful interpreter
ton of the chronicles of Iceland removes this
land Of vines to a region further north. The
same spirit which impelled its early navigators
TO explore lUG uHAIONu SGdS vi Ou6 w GSGg
which made its scalds-those Teutonic trouba-
dours-tbe l~aureates Of every northern court,
which melted its sagamen to become the anna
lists Of all the surrounding kingdoms, still ex-
lists, modified by the circumstances Of the age,
in the modern island. 1t is seen in that fond
ness for learning which is a trait Of every class
of these islanders, and of which 80 many strik-
ing tales are told by travellers. 1t is evinced
in the long struggle with Denmark which pre-
ceded the abolition of the odious commercial
restrictions, the exciting scenes of the Consti-
tutional Convention of 1917 and the present
political attitude of the inhabitants, who stead
lastly refuse to acknowledge the rule of the
Danish Diet. This sturdy and intensely ma
tional spirit will give an enhanced interest to
the approaching anniversary, and will go far
to make it the beginning of a new era in the
islands history.

A ness exclusively to ass lring the lives
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS

field, can offer. Its scale Of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that Of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the

Its career, during a period of 80 years

as valuable as those inhabiting Europe.

THE NEW TARIFF SwEDDE--Under
this appropriate heading the New
York World is ripping up the new
tariff bill that lately passed the House
of Representatives Under a suspension
of the rules. This bill is to fill the
pockets of the few at the expense OF
the many. The Ways and Means
Committee hold in their hands the
keys of the public treasury and when
ever they choose can enrich them
selves or their friends. Forinstance,
few New York merchants purchase
ten, twenty or thirty thousand casks
of cheap German and French wines,
at 80 cts. gallon, on which the pres
emit duty is 25 cents. These MGR
chants contrive to get the ear Of the
Ways and Means committee, and
presto, the tariff goes up one hundred
percent, and in an hour the price Of
these wines is increased in a cores
bonding ratio. The few firms are
the gainers, and the losers are the
6 700, 900 IGermans, Italians and
Frenchmen who make cheap clarets
and cheap Rhine wines their chief
beverage. 1t is the same with hops.
The present duty is 5 cts. per pound.
The duty is raised by the new bill to
10 cents per pound. The gamers are
a few thousand hop growers, who
produce so, 100000 pounds annually.
They are protected to the tune Of
Al 500. 900. OF this amount 90 per
cent comes out of the pockets of Ger
mans and 10 per cent. out;Of the poor
er classes who have advance far
enough towards temperance to sub
stitute lager for whiskcy. So of the
chromate of potash. One mine in
Pennsylvania is enriched to the
amount of S25O,O0G annually, and every
man. woman and child in the land
that wears either wooden or cotton
fabric made in the United States
which has any color IN it, contributes
TO this amount. These are speci-
men items of what the World justly
characterizes as the rascally Tariff
bill that has just passed the House
and now trembles before the Senate
Finance Committee. The Radical
party is the friend of the rich and
powerful and the sworn enemy of the
welfare of the people.
