The FOOLS paradise is Il place where the

be considered as responsible for their acts
they cannot be punished in ~purgatory, and
yet they cannot be admitted into Heaven.
They are therefore ~conEigned to a place fitted
up specially for them, where they car ask

There Is where those people 60 who breathe

why the confereneesFailed

LONDON, August 2.-In Commons
this afternoon Mr.. Gladstone announced
the failure of the Egyptian conference to
arrive at any conclusion. He said the
conference had failed to attain the objects
for which it had met. The delegates were
unanimous in their views respecting the
prospective changes IN Egypt and the
necessity offs fresh loan, but England
and France differed irreconcilably respect
ing the charges and receipts. France re-
fused to assent to any elimination of the
dividends payable under the law of legis-
lation. England was unable to accept
any plan which did not provide for the
necessary charges of administration. The
French plan, Mr.. Gladstone said, would
have entailed financial confusion in Egypt
The government was unable to consider
any plan incompatible with the just and
moderate, though firm government Of
Egypt. The conference had adjourned
indefinitely. The government had no
proposals az yet to submit to the house,
The Apglo-French agreement had ceased
to be in force and England's responsible
ties in Egypt had been greatly increased.
1t has been decided to establish military
pigeon stations at all army centres at home
and abroad, Captain Cahil las been sent
to France and Germany to study tie sys-
ZEN of employing pigeons adopted in
those countries. 1t is estimated that 3d.
900 pigeons will be required to stock the
various stations.
The leaders OF the conservative party
have consented that Lord Randolph
Churchill shall act as leader of
the opposition in Commons when
ever Sir Stafford Northcote is absent.

Thus we have 4,563,753 added to the
basis of representation in nine States,
while the members of Congress from
those States represent minority of the
voting population. The majority are
virtually disfranchised, and thereby the
South is politically solid. In some Of
the States not only the blacks but large
proportion of whites also are virtually
disfranchised. Thus one man.who be-
longs to and votes with the dominant
party in the States we have enumerated
counts as much in the lower House of
Congress and in the Electoral College as
two voters in the State of Ohio.
We have said that in the aggregate
the colored people of the Southern States
are virtually disfranchised. This is un-
questionably true of Alabama, Florida,
Louisiana, Mississippi and South Caro-
lima, and it is i'll this way the South is
solid for the Democratic party, and it is
because of this that the Democratic
lGduClo do tuO ANOitii, Wy oh OpOh uOASboO
or cowardly silence, justify the meth
DDS that are notOriOusly pracviced in
many of the Southern States to carry
elections. AS a result of these methods
the South controls the lower House of
Congress, and by the same course the
Democratic party expects to elect a
President and Vice President of the
United States in 1884.
If defeated in this purpose it will be
by the free men of the North, who hav-
ing once put down an armed rebellion
will rise again in defense of free govern
ment and the Constitution, and put
down by ballots the rebellion against
law and order and decency that is now
in full force in the South. in many o
the States.
! The South cast its vote almost soil,
