Some Things That May Happen in a
Cycle Of 27,727 Years.
columbus (o.) State Journal.l

lSolunDuS (O.) state Journal
A Novelist may be the founder of school
OF religious belief. Capt. Maryatt, in one of
his novels, tells of ship carpenter who
taught that complete cycle of time consists
OF 27,727 years; that such cycle commences
and ends every day in the year, and every
hour in the day; that Of, 727 years ago every
thing now existing on the earth--nations
men, animals, trees, mountains, rivers. lakes
ana seas--exlsted as they do to-day, bore the
same names and We're subject to the same
lnf1uences--were, in fact, the same identical
persons and things the only difference being
the man, for whom all other things were
created, makes progress physically, intellec-
tually and spiritually, from cycle to cycle.
FOR example 81, 727 years ago there was a
city OF Columbus, a Neil house, an American
house. state capitol, churches and school
houses, Gov, Hoadly and DR.. GLADDEN.,
but Gov Hoadly and DR.. GLADDEN. are better
men than they were when they last resided
here, and will be better still when they come
again. The ship carpenter taught that mans
HE ON earth is eternal though constantly
undergoing. changes. He claimed to speak
from experience and to be one of avery few
who remembered former existence-remem-
Dered events which TRANSFERRED hundred
thousand years ago.
Since the death OF Victor Hugo his friends
assert that for many years he held substan-
TALLY the same theory. He too, claimed to
remember having lived in the antediluvian
world, and that he was personally conscious
OF having lived manylthousands of wears dur
ing other ages, though he was not able to
recall events in detail, as, in fact, neither he
nor any other person over so years Of age re-
members one-tenth of the scenes and incl

tomb is dark, and when shall have passed
the tomb to emerge into light once more, all

strange conceit? Possibly from the study Of
she Pythagorean metempsy Ghosts possibly
from captain Marryatt's ship carpenter. Why

CHICAGO DEMOCRACY

One gets good idea of the kind of men
who run the Democracy Of Chicago from the
performances of the Cook County Democratic
Central Committee at a meeting the other
night called expressly for the purpose of ex-
pelling Joseph c. Mackin, the man who has
been convicted Of being the author of the bo-
gus ticket scheme by which it was sought to
steal State Senator and eventually United
States Senator. There was no doubt of
Aaekin's guilt and "a respectable body of men
would not have hesitated an instant to kick
him out from amongst them. But these
oficial managers of the Democracy of Chi
cago discussed the question of his expulsion
until midnight, and wound up finally by per
hitting him to resign. In the course Of the
meeting Mike" Mcdonald, one OF the Dem
ocratic bosses, paid Mackin the following
tribute and INDUCED in the following threat:
II want to say for Mr.. Mackin that he never
voted anything but the straight Democratic ticket.
ana never did any but straight Democratic work
Even when was Mugwump he stood by the old
party. In his late troubles he has been unfortun-
ate and has made some mistakes. But what man
In his place wouldn't? He has been jumped up
on, not only by the entire Republican press hit
stabbed by Democrats-sik- stocking Democrats Isl
Itell you would do worse than he has done /
would pull those sllk-stocking Democrats down to
Y. They owe their positions and elevation to Mr..
Macktn'S vote and labor. These rats call them
who are denouncing Mr.. Mackin had better look
o9I some OF these fellows who are stabbing him
VII fall from the tall pedestals which they are
slttng before long, and if was Mr. Mackin they
would have fallen before this Now | say LET the
Somnlttee work together tremendously, or else
let US all resign"
The chairman of the committee also had a
good word to say for Mackin, dwelling upon
what he called Mackin's valuable services
to the Democracy"
Bor appearance sake Mackin was permit
ted to resign But if the General Committee
had voiced its real feelings it would have pro-
NOTED him to the craftsmanship. His seclu
sion, however, will be more apparent than
real. His peculiar services to the Democra-
cy will be needed in the future as they have
in the past. Indeed it is by such work as he
has been doing that the Democracy of Chi
cago has been able to carry elections. It is by
such valuable services as he has rendered
that Carter Harrison has been placed in the
Mayors chair and kept there. Without the
aid OF the tricks of such men as Mackin the
Chicago Democracy could not survive 1t
Will not do to sit down on Mackin, no
more than it will do to sit down on the Dem
ocratic bulldozers of the South. He and
they are necessary to enable the Democratic
party to secure majorities. Retire them and
the Democracy could not carry half dozen
States, and the work of reform would Ian
guish.

American fishermen are inclined to view
with suspicion the agreement between the
United States and England relative to the
fisheries. Yet on its face 1t appears to be an
equitable arrangement. Americans secure
che privilege of fishing in British waters and
Canadians get in return the privilege of fish
Ing In American waters. The agreement
does not affect the tariff on Canadian fish

The appointment of Mr.. Silas Burt as
naval officer at New York will be hailed, no
doubt, with great delight by the Mugwumps
who will think they see in it some of that
devotion to civil service reform which the
President was SO fond of talking about be-
fore ne was inaugurated. But as Mr.. Burt
performed as r Democrat last fall and shout
Cd for Cleveland with all the vigor his lungs
were capable of the motive that underlies
his appointment is quite as likely to be a de-
sire to reward him for this support as for the
interest which he has professed to feel in

Mexico is in financial straits, owing to
extravagant internal improvements and bad
financial administration. President Diaz
hnds the receipts barely sufficient to carry on
the government, and to increase them the
subsidies guaranteed to the railroads are to
be repudiated. The Mexican Central which
was built largely by American capital, is
among the sufferers. Mexico can only be de-
veloped by foreign capital, and the inevitable
result Of this reputation if consummated
will be to greatly retard the development of
the country. 1t will be many years before
an American risks another cent there

Payne senior and Payne junior, the former

much embarrassed by this quarrel among

the exercise of their rights in that section as

was more to the credit of the order than Tues
days parade or any holiday pageant which
has or can be marshalled, The decided stand
taken by the commander for the divorce of
the organization from politics, and the pro
test OF Gen. Logan that soldiers are gentle
men to whom any community can safely trust
itself, shows that the veterans understood the
criticisms which have been current concern
ing some of them, and that they propose to
meet them honorably. This part of the
'ripening process" to which Commander
