Il Reactionary WhirlsUind.

History repeats itself. In 1s4O the
by whirlwind; and yet, in 1874, they
elected their Presidential candidate,
Polk, over the great Henry Clay.
In 1852 the Democrats elected Pierce
by the electoral votes of all the States
except four; but in 1853 their party be-
gan to break up, and, narrowly escaping
u defeat in 1856, it was scattered to the
winds in 1860.
In 1872 General Grant was elected by
the electoral votes Of all the States ex-
cept six, with two-thirds of each House
OF Congress to back him, and yet we
have something very much like the reac-
tionary whirlwind of 1910, and upon
similar issues.-City Item.

The Unseating Business.

False statements are now being
made by Radical partisans, to the eff
feet that the Democratic majority in
the next House will unseat all Repub-
licans who have but small majority.
The manner in which the Republican
majority for the last twelve years has
decided contested election cases has
been public scandal. In scarcely
more than two or three cases in all
that period have they failed to turn
out any Democrat whose seat was con-
tested by Radical, even on the most
frivolous of all pretexts. For period
even whole States have been disfran-
chised, as was the case in Kentucky,
whose representatives were in body
denied admission on general charges
of disloyaltv. Democrats have been
over and over again elected from
the seats to which they have been un-
questionably elected. The very House
which comes together next month put
in Radicals from Arkansas, West
Virginia, Louisiana and Georgia who
were not pretended to be the choice
OF the people. But, notwithstanding
the example which has been set, there
is no authority for any statements that
a Democratic House of Representatives
will thus trample upon right and JUS
tice. No Republican who has been
fairly elected by the people of his dis
trict, although but by one majority,
will be displaced. Democrats will be
content that the Republicans shall
have the exclusive honor in this re-
spect which has heretofore attached to
them.

The preparations for Udderzook's
execution are going on and everything
will be in readiness by the approach
of the fatal moment. The doomed
man seems resigned to his fate. and
no longer entertains hopes of execu-

extended by the Governor, which is
not at all probable. ...,--5.
The preparations for the execution

every measure will be adopted which
will in any way tend to increase the
comfort of the doomed man during
his last moments. No reporters will

DEAR SIR:-The United States Mar
shai, with one company of cavalry, ar
rived here one week ago tonight, and on
the following day they arrested the edi-
tor OF the pindicdtor, Mr.. Cosgrove.
A few days later they arrested Messrs.
Lane. Martin and Lowe, and on Friday
are all charged, 1 believe, with compiled
ty in the Coushatta affair. When that
occurred Mr.. Lane and Mr.. Cosgrove
were in New Orleans, and Robert was
here at work. 1t is clear to us that
these people came up here with lot of
blank warrants, and our Radical friends
have indicated to the Marshal whom
they want to have arrested Our people
did not scatter to the woods as they ex-
pected them TO do, and it is stated that
there are from three hundred to five
hundred yet to be arrested in our parish
This IS done to create "big stampede"
They have gone SO far as to inquire after
particular parties here, saying they had
warrants for them, yet they are not ar
rested. Our people don't scare worth q
cent" W i g. ---ilt
These arrests are purely political. The
troops and one of the officers are very
kind to the prisoners, but the Marshal
and the commanding officer "a Meuten-
ant Mclntosh) are both the most perfect
and bitter partisans. They have refused
the prisoners counsel, and allow next to
no communication with them. / manag-
ed fortunately to have few words with
Robert this evening, and he says this
morning an order was issued that the
soldiers should not talk to the prisoners.
We have tried to make them comforta-
BILE, sent them good tent, plenty to
eat, &c. .-.f - -
This is certainly the most glaring out
rage ever perpetrated upon any people.
These men are arrested, imprisoned and
guarded as closely as though they were
felons. and everybody knows they are
guilty OF no crime against either the
United States or the State. 1t is grand
political move, and by it they hope to
goad onr people to desperation, and to
bring about conflict with the troops
that they can again cry ''rebel."
We hear that the prisoners are to be
taken to New Orleans after the election
One thing feel sure of, if there should
come q conflict Of races here the soldier;

| of course, bring any influence within

Prof. I'yndaU not an Atheist .

In the course of lecture to working
men at Manchester, England, on the
2Sth ult., Professor Tyndall took occa-
sion indirectly to put himself right, or
at least to reply to the charge of athe-
ism to which his address at Belfast gave
rise some time ago. In his usual inter-
esting way he demonstrated the crys-
tallization of atoms and descanted upon
the way atoms build themselves togeth-
er as play of almost as wonderful as
the play of vitality itself. He added
eve are surrounded by wonders and
mysteries everywhere. I have some
times-not sometimes, but often-in
the springtide watched the advance of
the sprouting leaves, and of the grass
and of the flowers, and observed the
general joy of opening life in nature,
and have asked myself this question
Can it be that there is no being or
thing in nature that knows more about
these matters than lido? Do in my ig-
horace represent the highest knowledge
of these things existing in this universe
Ladies and gentlemen, the man who
puts that question to himself, if he be
not a shallow man. If he be q man ca
pable of being penetrated by profound
thought will never answer the question
by protesting the creed of atheism,
which has been so lately attributed to
me.
Il am afraid that many of the fears
that are entertained on these subjects
really have their roots in a kind of skcp-
ticism. 1t is not always those who are
charged with skepticism that are the
real skcptics-and l confess it is mat
ter of some grief to me to see able, use
full, and courageous men running to
and fro upon the earth, wringing their
hands over the threatened destruction
of their ideals. would say, if I dared
| to such men; would exhort them to
cast out this skepticism, for this fear
has its root in skepticism. In the hu-
man mind we have the substratum of
all ideals, and as surely as string re
spends to string when the proper note
is sounded, so surely, when words of
truth and nobleness are uttered by a
living human soul, will those words
haye a resonant response in other souls
and in this faith abide, and in this
way leave the question,

Where is the Antarctic Oontinon. ?

1t has long been disputed question
whether the Arctic Ocean was an open
sea, and whether at the South Pole
there was land. The late Lieut.. Marry
had an ingenious theory that opposite
to land we would always find water, and
hence if there was an ocean about the
North Pole there must be a continent 1T
the South Pole. ThistheOry has seemed
to have been confirmed by many dis
coveries of land in the southern hemi-
sphere, and among others of a stretch of
coast line which has long borne the
name of the "Wilkes' Antarctic Conti-
nent," which Wilkes claimed to have
seen in January, 1910. Its existence
has often been called into question. The
letter which we publish from Lieut..
Hynes, of the Challenger, to DIR. Hayes,
shows that no such land exists; that
Wilkes saw, in fact, nothing but ice
fields and icebergs.
Thus we see one problem after an
other solved with the greater accuracy
and perfection of scientific appliances;
but it is not often that a whole cOnti-
nent is so suddenly bOwled down, as it
were but one of a set of ninepins, on the
general plan of progressive science.
Notwithstanding, however, that the
Challenger has in point of fact sailed
over the land Of Wilkes, yet we must
believe that land does exist in the
vicinity of the South Pole; for other
wise, while whatever ice might be
formed upon the sea, icebergs could not
be created, inasmueh rs land is neces-
saTy, the iceberg being a fragment OF the
glacier, which is always of mountain
origin, and, according to the best ac-
counts, icebergs are more numerous and
larger i'm the Antarctic than in the
Arctic seas. The truth is, we know too
little about either of these dreary re-
gions of the earth. In the interests of
commerce neither of the poles is likely
to prove of greater value than for the
capture of whales, sea elephants and
seals; but to science they are of infinite
Importance, and in the new awakening
of geographical exploration they cannot
much longer be a simple myth to the
ignorant and wonder to the wise. N

Unskilled Feminine Labor.

When a woman is thrown on her own
resources, she generally tries one of five
pursuits-she takes bOarders, teaches,
sews, washes, or writes. The last is apt
to be the resort of all the unprotected
females who can spell, and of some who
can't. 1t proves but broken reed.
Those who would fain support them
selves by it, soon fall back upon one of
the four other occupations, all OF which
are oyerstocked. The number of widows
engaged in each is large enough to al
most warrant the belief that most of
the husbands in the world have died.
/ An ordinary sewing g-woman in this city,
working on shop goods at her own home,
earns GS cents by twelve hours labor.
She is sometimes obliged to furnish her
own thread out Of this pittance. Her
wages are so low on account of the cut
throat competition of seamstresses.
I Their rivalry keeps their wages at the
starvation point, or below it. The same
state of things exists in England. There
| is Bureau Of Employment in Praed
street, London, under the care OF Miss
/ Emily Faithful, which tries To provide
work for women. Miss Faithful, i'm a
letter 10 the London Times, comments
sharply on the "truly feminine notion"
/ that skilled labor can be done by un-
] Skllleu nanuS. hundreds OF women,
she says, apply every week at the Bu-
reau. When they are asked what they
can do, they cheerfully answer: ooh,
anything" This always turns out to
mean anything which requires neither
| knowledge nor skill-tO wit: taking
boarders, doing plain sewing, washing.
The moral Miss Faithfull draws is that
girl should be taught some practical
pursuit, as her brother is. Then she
would not be utterly helpless when sud-
den poverty came upon her. Very many
applications reach the Bureau from
women who want work st their homes.
They cannot leave the children or the
sick who are dependent upon them.
This is a second great difficulty. Very
few things can be well done at home.
Authors and artists are the only men
who work in their own homes. The
women outside of these two classes can
not expect to be more fortunate. II they
had mastered a trade or profession,
they might earn enough to support their
dependents and to provide them with
care while they were away. Unskilled
labor can never hope for such pay

Woman Suffrage.

Savages believe that women have no
souls. There is no place for them in
their happy hunting grounds beyond the
grave. Some men who are in part civil
lied hold like opinion and treat them
aecordingly-as pack-horses. Nay, in
the barbarian's heaven, there is place
for his favorite steed, likewise for his
dog, but none for his wife.
Once granting woman an immortal
spirit, man begins to show her Difference
and respect, and she rapidly grows into
her new position. AS she is naturally
more delicate in sensibility, she becomes
mans superior in culture, taste and re-
finement. But she always feels neglect
and wrong more keenly than lie does.
An injustice to him is an outrage to her
The possession of q soul implies ambi-
! tiOn to rise and longing for freedom.
Man comedies TO woman equality in

eqnal, why not grant her the same
/ rights? What authority has he for de-
nying to her any right? Nay, is not
such Withholding robbery? In such
denial he either intends TO do her an in
justice, or he thinks her opinions but
the reflex OF his own. If the former be
true, be is knave-if the latter, he is a
/ fool. Not only are her views often uu-
like his, but she may justly have sepa-
rate interests.
While young and unmarried, woman
receives both protection and homage.
| This is true in general, but even then
| her rights are not inviOlable. Older and
still single, she is not only neglected,
but held to have few rights that men are
bound to respect. Married, the law
makes>her the slave of her husband,
though he be very fiend. Widowed,
her property is common prey to every
man with whom she has to 90, aud
many knave does his best to despoil
her.
| To offset his robbery, man passes laws

and is supposed to be most alive to

instances they become estranged and

A Reaction.

The crusade against whisky selling
that was inaugurated with such vim in
Ohio, and rapidly spread throughout
nearly the whole country, seems to have
run its course, and is now about to quiet
down and die out. And in the wake of
this crusade comes the reaction. In
some of the towns in the East, where
the crusaders started in on the two or
three saloons, and for the time being
closed them up, now, "Phnnix like"
etc, they have again sprung up, and
with them as many more new ones. So
that nov, instead of having only two or
three whisky mills, as there were dur
ing the crusade, or none, as there WAS
before the crusade, they have half
dozen i'm full blast, and all doing a
.'slashing" business. Are these the re-
suits of the crusade ? They follow it so
closely that we should answer in the
affirmative, were we not afraid Of
wounding the feelings of those who were
Jealous and enthusiastic in the temper
ance cause, without being guided by
prudence and discretion. The crusaders
commenced in the wrong place to bring
about good. They commenced in the
middle, and made war upon the retail
dealers, while they allowed the manu-
facturers on one side, and the consumers,
on the OIneT, 10 20 uilHdTultu. IlAu
they commenced on the manufacturers,
and then come on down through the
wholesale houses to the retail establish
ments, they might have accomplished
something, possibly. Or had they gone
TO work successfully on the consumers
and worked back through the retail and
wholesale houses, the manufacturers
would have needed no crusading in or
der TO make them shut up shop. If they
had done away with the demand by the
consumers, the fountains of supply, of
themselves, would soon run dry. Or, if
they had cut of the supply, there would
be hone foolish enough to open retail es-
tablishments for the sale of spirituous
liquors. But the whole campaign was
lily advised and poorly conducted, and
may be set down as worse than n fail
ure. Where it has had any effect at all,
it has turned out badly. But this is not
the first time, and we presume it will
not be the last, in which both men and
women, having in view the very best
motives, have made as great mistakes,
and brought about as unfortunate re-
suits as has the late crusade Wdtld
WdlLd Union.
