Twin Enemies.

1t matters very little where the
republican state convention of Mis-
souri, is held-whether at Moberly.
Jefferson City or some other town.
In tact, 1t is not of the slightest con-
sequence whether il shall be held at
all or not. If the republican state
committee were to go to sleep and
forget to call a convention for ten
years. the omission would not cause
pe,ceptible ripple On the current of
our local history. There are many
estimable citizens of the state in the
ranks of that party, but as a party it
richly deserves the humiliation which
has been its uniform history ever
since the close of McClurg's admin
istration, for the large and deter
mined democratic majority IN this
state finds very great part of ITS
explanation in the still vivid recol-
lection of the prescription and Of
fetal immortality which marked Its
short-lived regime.
There is a striking resemblance
between the republican party OF MIS-
souri, and the indicted bandit of whom
1t affects such d horror. Both are
living under condemnation. Both
have had their heyday, and both are
wrecks. Frank James did the state
much evil by his career of violence
and blood: yet 1t may be truthfully
SAID that certain republican organs
have done and are still dong the
honest and sturdy commonw ealth far
more evil by their persistent, detesta-
BILE Misrepresentation of its people
as intelligent. virtuous, hospitable
and law-abidrng population as can
be found anywhere between the two
oceans. The bloody fate which
Frank James guilty confederates
haye met with, chiefly at the hands
of Missouri's democratic sher1ffs, {,
marshals and citizens, and the
wretched extremity to which he him.
self is reduced, are evidence of what
the people of Missouri think of them
and him; and the not less pitable
condition in Which the once arrogant
and domineering republican party of
the state has been kept for fourteen
years is no less striking evidence OF
what the people of Missouri think OF
it.-Mo. Republican.

condition of affairs now existing in

;ays:

Tribune of August 81, 1881, YOU
v;ll find an item setting forth the
enormous monopoly OF nearly all

names OF the persons who provided
The colossal capital for the monop-
olizaton and operation of about
40 square miles, or 10000 acres of
land. Among the names will be
found Gov. Foster, of OHIO, Mr..
William Walter Phelps, of New
Jersey, Mr.. Secretary James G.
Blame and Gen. James A. Hall, of
Maine.
''When the tariff question was be-
fore congress. MIR. Blaine came for
ward as special lobbyist of the
coal and iron interests for a big duty
on bituminous coal and iron ore.
The duty on iron ore is IS cents per
ton.
.'lf you will turn to the file of the
Commercial Advertiser, you will
find on the I4th of July, 1854,
Dispatch from Columbus, Ohio,
stating that large number of i'm
ported laborers had been sent down
to the Hooking Valley mines, guard
ed by 1870 of Pinkerton's SPECIAL po-
lice, armed with carbines and re-
volvers.
'ln the Commercial Advertiser of
the 18th of July, 1884, you will find
another dispatch stating that the OPP
orators (owners) say they will have
5000 more foreigners to go into the
mines IN a few days. The dispatch
es Of yesterday and to-day from that
region portray the condition of things
there now.
"Now, what are the facts? A
great monopoly has protective
tariff of seventy-fve cents per ton on
bltuminous coal, ostensiblv for the
benefit of the poor workingmen to
protect them against what is called
pauper labor. Now, those miners
only struck against having their
wages reduced below 70 cents per
Ton. Thus they only asked as wages
OF the protective tariff, and they are
ceated with carbines and revolvers.
This is fine showing upon which to
ask the laboring man to vote tor Mr..

Reference to the files of the Tri-
oune show that MIR. Marvel is quite
correct in his references.

Travelling down to Naples the
cholera has got into one of the worst
quarters of Europe, and we may ex-
pect it to do its worst in that densely
packed city. The diffusion of the
epidemic proves again what has been
proved by all previous experience,
that there is no such thing as pre-
venting its progress. Wherever the
conditions invite it, there it will
come, and it will probably spread
itself quite generally over Europe.
To judge by the terror it has inspired,
one would imagine it was deci-
mating pestiIence. But all of its
ravages this year in France and Italy
will not raise the death rate more
than perhaps one quarter OF one per
cent, an increase wholly rmpercepti-
bic except in column of figures -

strange action of Il dense line of smoke
which rose pcrpcndicularly from the
stack of Il saw-mill in PocOmokc city,
which lay to the east of us. My at
trntlOn was called to the distinct out
lines of Il thrcc-mastcd schooner which
appeared above the line where the
smoke spread out and disappeared. |
could hardly believe my senses, and,
calling the attention of the gentleman
who was with me TO the strange sight,
| rushed into the pilot-hOusc and got
my glasses. Through them | discov-
cred more clearly the outlin cs of the
vessel. There was evidently on
breeze, as the sails were lying inboard.
Then scanned the horizon ON either
side of the smoke with the glasses, and
discovered four additional SchOoncrs,
all Of them similarly rugged, and all
wearing Il full sci of sails, which were
also iMhoard. They we're more or les $

were cnvclopcd in what seemed a
transparent haze. which mt once sup
posed was the ocean. fringing the
lower edge of the haze were the out
lines, perfectly distinct, of the Allan
tic coast, between Chincotcaguc and
Cobb's islands. Even the inlets and
small capcs were disccrniblc. Mex,
appeared the broad waters between
the outer bar and the mainland. This
was also depicted as haze, the land
dovetailcd into it here and there.
Skirting the lower edge of this haze
was the mainland, with open fields and
clumps of trees. The mirage extended
down TO the meeting line of the land
and eastern horizon. | called all the
passengers up from the lower deck and
saloon, and all of them gazed at the
phenomenon with wonder and with
admiration. The sight lasted about
twenty minutes, and gradually disap'

Capt. Wilson stated that land
breeze had prevailed for several days
previous to the mirage, and the pben'
omcnon is accounted for on the ground
that there was an unequal refraction
