SUPREMACY OF A REPUBLICAN, SYSTEM
The success of the American riflemen
IN Ireland is but another evidence of re.
publican superiority in all enterprises.
We need not enumerate ali the instances
in which it has conquered the admiration
and admission Of the world. Its political
triumph in the superior capacity of the
! many to govern themselves rather than of
the one man to govern the many has been
followed by superior and logical excel.
lence in scientific discovery and in socia,
progress.
The secret of this success is simple.
Under other forms of government intel.
lectual or industrial development is lin
tied by classes. orders and guilds. For
want of education or Of opportunity the
intellect OF millions in Europe is worn
out and wasted in inaction or misapplica-
ton. This mind power is as utterly lost
to the service Of society as the waterfall in
the wilderness. or the mine under the
superintendent mountain, Or the jewel
imbedded in the sands Of the unfathomed
deep. An inventor in England may 60

by an employe of the government;

The b.ttled inquirer is sen. to another
Office. He enters that department and finds
two gentlemen sitting face to lace at large
and easy desk, one OF whom was polishing
a gun barrel on his pocket handkerchief.
while the other was spreading maymalade !
on bread with q paper knife.
"Mr. WObbler y inquired the suitor.
Both gentlemen glanced a. him. and |
seemed surprised at his assurance.
$50 he went," said the gentlemen with |!
the gun barrel, who was an extremely de- |
liberate speaker, "dowr to his cousins |
place, and took the Dog with him by rail. |
lnestimable Dog Flew at his posted fellow

He got half dozen fellows into a Barn.
and good supply of Rats. and timed tie
Deg. Finding the Dog able to do it i'm.
mensely, made the match, and heavily
backed the Dog. When the match came
off, some devil Of fellow was bought over.
Sir, Dog was made drunk. Dogs master
was cleaned out"
"Mr. WObbler," repeated the sutton.
The gentleman who was spreading the
inquired. without looking up
from that occupation: what did he call
the dog!'
This jocular conversation having con.
tinued Tor some time, the sutton repeats
his effort to attract the attention OF Mr.
Wobbler, who looks up with his mouth
FULL and asks:
whats the matter

inquirer.
Cant inform you. Never heard of it.
Nothing at all to do with il. Better try

The disappointed suitor left the room and
vas recalled by the gentleman with the gun

The sutton looked in again, and was told

Another Barnacle is more frank. and re.
that he ''shall not bother him |
