Turkeys Chris6en protectors In Europe are
| sccwing over the Porte's sly repudiaticn Of
$sc,o0ooo0 Of interest on the national bonds.
The Peruvian govcrnment offers to dis
pose Of $4,000 tons guano,sa the deposits; at
fixed price TO buyers in The United States,
the monopoly Of the contractors in this coun.
try having been suspended for the purpose.
The territory on the right bank Of the
| Syr Daria, from the Russian frontier TO the
river Nareen, hitherto belonging to the Khok-
and, is annexed to Russia
Peru is so dependent upon the sale Of
her guano for prosperity, that business has
been at a stand-still for some time, owing to
the fact that the French and other contracts
have not been confirmed. The government
has been obliged TO force a loan from the un-
willing bankers.
Russia has the awful prospect of a
famine before her, consequent upon the fail
ure Of the crops over a large district. With
famine, .nihilisn,, the Centrsl Asian war and
the Turkish question, Russia seems to have
her hands full.
Spain has nine iron-clads and thirty
gun-boats ready for active service, manned
by experienced and hardy seamen and well
officered. The Spanish government while
negligent in other particulars, has been very
particular about keeping up its small but
efficient navy.
The Porto Rico people, it has been an
nounced, are rapidly working up rebellion
against Spain. Their opportunity is good
one. There are only few Spanish troops on
the island, who could be wiped out speedily,
and Spain being entirely occupied with the
Carlists and Cubans can not possibly send
any re-enforcements. A club has been organ
lied in New York to further the conspiracy,
and it is possible that Porto Rico will achieve
her independence without the tribulations Of
her neighbor Cuba.

He really thoughtX "a whise he had found {
The actual thing that he wanted,
But before he had gone half the Faubourg around,
The devil began to be daunted.
"These ladies' are quite beyond me, that is plain"
He said to hnself---and he left for Spain.
But there though the women were pretty and kind,
Once more he was disappointed,
They had hearts 10 be sure, but he wanted mind !;
And their hair was too much anointed.
SO again His Majesty sailed forth
And this time he thought he would visit the North
But why should tell Of his lengthening work
And Of all the countries he tried
Till he suddenly thought one fine day Of New York
And instantly ththerward hied.
But, quick as he was, the women were ready,
Their heads clear and their hearts steady
They took one look, and they looked him through,
And they saw what he wanted at once;
50 innocence beamed from their orbs Of blue
And candor was queen for the n0nce:
Oh you should have seen how their eyelids fell
While they timldly asked for the news from Hell
What grace, what refinement what sense!
How quickly his notions, half-hinted, were seized,
And nothing he said gave oiiensel
He thought he had seen half these beauties before,
The better he knew them he liked them the more.
But time was pressing, he could not watt
Though he scarcely knew how to choose,
So he offered bis crown and his royal state
Himself and his dead wife's shoes
To a damsel whose candor and virtues intact
Were all that the Devil himself could exact.
She accepted his offer, and did not repent
When the day Of her wedding drew nigh,
For you know that to He'll there's an easy descent
And-her friends would drop In by and by,
blest
As the innocent creature he tenderly pressed.
But when she WIS married and safely installed
As Queen in the regions Of shade
II is said that the Devil was somewhat appalled,
At the bargain he found he had made.
And remarked, "Twould have been on the whole,
quite as we'll
Had tarried at home and married in Hell =!

There are some peculiar facts &C

There are some peculiar facts con-
cerning the distribution of the nightin-
gale in Europe. 1t is found as far north
rs Sweden and as far west as Spain and
Portugal, and yet it never visits Scot
land, ireland or Wales. From the bound
aries limiting its habitat in England, it
appears that the bird is restricted TO those
portions of the country which are covered
with secondary or tertiary geological
formations Hence IL may be inferred
that the insects on which Il lives do not
obtain means of subsistence where the
primary soil prevails.

When the organist began TO play he

NAn old ship with n history is to be
raiscd from the Sacramento river, where
she has lain for some fifty years. This is
the bark Globe, 293 tons, that sailed on
. whaling cruise from Nantucket to the
Pacific in December, 1922. Her crew
mutinied and murdered Capt. Worth and
his officers in 1924, then fled to the Null

the presidency of the American depart
ment of the Mississippi Valley society,
Of London, rendered him by the parent
organization. The object of this move
ment is to direct attention to the devel-

his entire energies to the work in this
country and Europe, making his head

The advocates Of the present bank
monopoly are continually RECALLING the
public with such delusige sentences as
these: money more plenty now than
ever, " Money goes begging now at
low rates" 1T is plentiful at a mo-
ment's notice to any extent for any
legitimate operation" All these are
taErn from one articlein the WASHING
ton Republican Of the 18th. They ar.
but a repetition Of what may be seen
daily in all the Grant and National
Bank journals. Are such assertions
true, or are they but the efforts Of the
Bank monopolists 10 n,islead the pub
lie? Let every reader ask and answer
for himself: "Is money more plenty
now than ever?'' docs money 60
begging now at low rates?' els it
plentiful to any extent for any legiti-
mate operation?" These are questions
easily asked and easily answered. BY
the answers to them viii be determined
the truth or falsity of the reiterated
assertions of the monopoly. The
capitalist who has his wealth
invested IN bonds or stocks may
take those bonds or stocks and upon
them as a collateral may borrow for
sixty, possibly for ninety, days what
money he wishes to use for speculative
purposes. But the producer who has
his capital invested In lands, in mines,
or IN manufactures, cannot borrow
money upon them as collaterals. If he
could do this his legitimate business
viii not bar the rate Of interest which
be would be compelled 10 pay to the
bank monopoly; nor Is the character Of
his business such as to enable him to
turn over the money in the limited
time of sixty or ninety days. There
fore if money were as plenty as is
alleged by the national bank advocates,
the rules and regulations Of the mo-
nOpOly are such that the producer can
never rely upon it for-loans to assist in
his business. That these rules and
regulations VIII never be changed
while the monopoly continues under
the authority and protection Of Con-
gress, Is certain. The immense profits
which have accrued to the national
banks since their Organization are Of
themselves a sufficient evidence that
such monopoly should not longer be
tolerated.

TIE sPEAKERsHIP.

The eagerness manifested by some Of
the high tariff jOurnalsand correspond
en;s in behalf of Mr.. Randall for tn,
Speakersaip Of the House has aroused
the Indignation of the friends of other
aspirants for that position. The Ner
Jersey Herald and Gazette comes out
warmly for Hon. S. S. Cox, Of New
York, and says, with reference to Mr.
Randall's candidacy:
It is a great shame and very repre-,
henssble, that any Democrat having
the good Of party at heart, should
dream Of seeing elected to the
SpeakershiD any member of his party
who Pocketed the back pay-moaey he
did not earn-mOney that in its appr0-
priatiOn was simple robbery. There was
nothing that could have prevented the
turn Of John P. Stockton to the United
States Senate if he had not taken his
back pay. This we know from our own
personal acquaintance with the sentI.
ments Of the majority of the New Jersey
Legislature Of last winter. Whilehe re-
tanned the warm personal regard, and
in many instances the admiration,
Of most Of the Democratic mem
b7rs, they openly declared that
they could not vote for him
because he took and kept his back pay.
They rightly held that It was a national
matter about which the people were in
dignant and felt shamefully swindled.
New Jerseys representatives will not
vote for any back-pay grabber for
Speaker, nor will those Of any Oth-r
State who have the slightest regard for
the good name and success of the party.
As We stated before, it is a sorry trick
Of Republican leaders To saddle the
Democrats at the very outset with the
odium Of "Back-pay Steal Il order
to close the lips Of Democratic orators
during the approaching Presidential
campaign against that Infamous rob-
berry OF the people
The Nelg York Tribune represents
the Democratic press Of that State as
generally in favor Of giving the Speak
ership Of the next House to Mr.. Kerr.
A few Of the journals favor Mr.. Cox,
but a majority seem 10 take about the
view expressed in the following extract
from the Troy Press:
"The contest narrOws down TO Messrs.
Cox and Kerr, and it is especially cred
liable to the party that the contestants
for this honor are both so worthy and
deserving. To neither OF these gentle
men can there be personal exceptions
taken. But we think on the whole that
Mr.. Kerr viii be the successful candi-
date. He is sound on all matters af-
fecting the public and the party, aud is
uDquesli0nably suited for the nice and
exactiug position Of Speaker. His
candidacy seems to have been more
spontaneously and widely responded to
than Mr.. CUx's. Owing to his locality,
too, he is likely to be stronger in the
caucus. The East, as 1t looks, will fur
nish the next President, the West viii
not be satisfied without the Speaker at
least. Besides this it strikes us that
Mr. Cox's gifts fit him for Luty on the
floor Of the House better than for the
chair. Next 70 Mr.. Kerr there is no
aspirant whose election would better
satisfy the party and the nation. But
Mr.. Kerr is manifestly the coming
man."

SENATORIAL.
Knoxville Chronicle.


In connection with the vacant seat
In the United States Senate we have
heard the name Of S. d. Morgan, of
Nashville, mentioned. RE is one of
the most successful, clear headed bust
ness men of the State, and his long
experience in business matters, it is
claimed, peculiarly fits him for a posi-
ton in the highest legislative body In
our country. These claims are by no
means unreasonable. 1t is a well
known fact that the number of first
class business men in our Legislative
assemblies is altogether too small.
When questions of finance are to be
discussed and acted upon, sound
Judgment would say that men who
have had experience IN financial mat
ters should be selected. Mr.. Morgan is
that kind of man, and his friends be-
heve he would fill seat In the Senate
with credit to himself and his constit-
uents.
