The Young Republican club of
Philadelphia celebrated its fourth
anniversary a few days ago. The
speech of the occasion was made by
Mr.. Smith of the Philadelphia Press
in response to the toast: "lSSS-,
you'll find us there"
This conveys to the Democrats, the
pleasant assurance that they will not
be without something in the shape of
an antagonist in the next national
contest. Their old enemy will be
'there," though in a mutilated and
battered condition.
We are delighted to hear it. From
the loud tom-tom rejoicing which
that party recently made over the re-
election by a majority of one vote of
the next highest man in its ranks as
senator from state that has been for
twenty-five years Republican by So
600 majority-we feared that by 1888
it would be reduced to the abject
condition of yielding the honor of the
first place in the opposition to St
John or Weaver.-St. Louis Repub.
lican.

France has done her part; the stat
ne is completed and will soon be on
its way to our shores where it will
forever stand an emblem of the liber-
ty achieved by the United States,
aided by France, over one hundred
years ago. This great work has been
accomplished by France appealing TO
the patriotism Of her people which
has re-entered in this colossal gift to
the United States.
How eminently fitting, therefore,
that the masses in this country should
have an opportunity 10 assist in the
erection Of Il pedestal to receive it.
1t will be erected in common by
the two nations associated in this
brotherly work.
1t is truy gratifying to learn, as
we do from the committee, that the
subscriptions are rapidly pouring in
from every part of the country for
the miniature statuettes which are
being sent to each person who sub
scribes $l.0O, proving that appeals to
the patriotism Of our people are never
made in vain.
All subscriptions for statucttes
should be addressed to Richard But
Ter, secretary, 80 Mercer Street, New
York City.
Many orders are being received in
clubs from schools, colleges, banking
and insurance companies, etc, etc.
The committee report generous
subscription from II. ii. Macy & Co.,
New York; Shepard Normell & Co.,
Boston; +. Loeser Il Co., Brooklyn,
who have paid the full price for the
statuettes and will distribute for the
convenience oftheir customers.
Let every one endeavor to secure
one Of these charming little souvenirs
which will bear lasting testimony o.
ownership in the magnificent statue
of "Liberty Enlightening the World.

A New War Missile.
scientific journal. l

lSclenllnc journal.
A Professor Richie, of Bridgeport,
Conn, now comes to the front with
a humane device known as poison
Gus air bomb, which he claims will
revolutionize all modern warfare.
The gases before being introduced in
to the bomb are several times COM
pressed and impregnated with pois-
ons which make them quickly fatal
to any living creature breathing
them. When exploded the gas lies
close to the ground. The bomb ex-
plodes and the air within a radius of
100 feet becomes charged with silent
death. You cannot fight it, you can
not destroy this silent, life destroying
enemy. What is the resultp Why,
the men stay and asphyxiate, but you
will find that they won't. They will
run away in beaten and demoral-
lied condition, and this is one of the
best points about the device.

Interest in the convention than the Dem

there is SO much indifference shown to-
ward any movement it is sure TO result ili
Misrepresentation of the people. The

seeing that the representative Republicans
md Democrats took so little interest in

THE PEOPLES"

II has become a great idea among so
called shrewd polit cal schemers and those
seeking preferment at The hands of the
people TO dub any political movement,
the peoples movement. The idea is
that by so calling it the people" will i'm
agine it is their movement, when in fact
the scheme is only aiding inst those who
originate the howl "people." This coun-
try, like all other new countries is over
burdened with politicians whose inflated
concrits cause them 10 believe that the
people" do no. vet know or appre; late
what magnificent geniuses they are.
Men Of real merit have hard shedding
amoug such political shysters for the
moment the people find out something of
their worrh..and commence bringing him
into prominence, this legion OF "unap-
preciated geniuses" howl hIm down with
calumnious shouts and prance before the
people as champions who have downet
tae peoples enemy, and in the heat of the
furor the people usually commit the error
OF not ascertaining the real facts and
merits of the case. The experience of
the people in Dakota will bear out these
suggestions. The last peoples convention
Was u fraud II was res )lyed into dem
ocratic convention, although they did, for
show, put republican on the ticket, who
declined the honor when he found il ont,
but il was so democratic it was thought
they might as well revolutionize the
County Central Committee. In fact the
people are tired Of these peoples" move
ments. II man wants an office let him
sail in under his party banner and win on
his merits. man who would seek I'm
Office at peoples convention would have
to toss a copper to find out whether lie
was n republican or democrat.

According to private information which
reaches us from Russia, the progress of
the Revolutionary Nihlist party is said
to be something extraordinary, and is
causing the greatest alarm in govern
ment circles. All mention of the move
ment in the papers is now strictly for
bidden, and the most rigorous censorship
Of kilograms and letters is exercised.
A recent inspection unexpectedly
made in the barracks of several of the
German garrisons revealed the fact that
large quantities of ammunition which
had been distributed to the troops had
disappeared. 1t is strongly suspected
that the missing cartridges have passed
into the hands of the Revolutionary
party, and rigorous enquiry into the
matter has been ordered.
