The Great Pyramid.

Mr.. j. B.. Bailey writes to tho St.
James Gazette rs follows. with reference
to tho desirability of exploring tho groat
pyramid: '.Now that Great Britain is
dominant at Cairo, would it not DO a
good plan to clear away tho sand and
rubbish FROM the Base of the great pyra-
mid right down to its rocky Foundation
and try to discover those vast corridors,
halls and temples, containing priceless
curiosities and treasures with which ira
dition in all ages has credited tho great
pyramidp The wonderful building, Of
such exquisite workmanship, was erect
cd many years before any Of tho other
pyramids, which are only humble imi-
tations. built by another nation, and also
for other purposes; for neither King
Cheops nor anybody else was ever inter-
red beneath this mighty mass of stone.
The smaller pyramids also exhibit
neithor the nicely of proportion nor the
exaotnoss of measurements, both of which
characterize the first pyramid. From
internal evidence It seems to have been
built about tho year 2170 B. O.; short
time before the birth Of Abraham, moro
than four thousand years ago.
''This-one of the seven wonders Of
tho world III the days of ancient Greece

more than thirteen square acres of

nally 485 feet high, and each of its sideu
measures 762 foet. 1t is computed to
contain 100000 tons of hewn stone,
beautifully fitted together with mere

blocks of stone must have been brought
from quarries five nundrod miles distant

No Solid Delegation.

IT is important to every citizen of
Maryland. whatever his politics. that
his State should have some represen.
tatives in Congress who are in sym
pathy with each of the great parties,
so that the measures necessary for
her welfare may receive the support
of Republicans as well as of Demo.
Gratis, In this regard we may learn
a lesson from the State of Massachu-
sets:
"Mr. Boutwell,. late Secretary of
the Treasury. and the Hon. w. W..
Grape, who for many years represen-
ted the New Bedford District in Con-
gress, in speaking of this subject, said
that the Massachusetts Republicans,
when they had it in their power to
elect solid Republican delegation,
would gerrymander the State so as
to give the Democrats one or two
Representatives in Congress. The
reason they gave for it was that
Massachusetts had too many impor-
tdiit liItCiOoto lCoos anu q
solid Republican delegation could not
do as much for the State as one
which represented and appealed to
both of the great parties"
This is practical, common.sense
view of things that must commend
itself to every reasonable man.
The history of the last four Con-
crosses confirm this. Any one famil-
lar with that history will recall how
often the Democratic members from
Maryland have had to call on Mr..
Urner and McComas to help them.
by their influence with the Republic
can members of the House to carry
through some measure of interest to
the State, and those calls were never
made in vain.
Let the voters of the Sixth Con-
gressional District vote in the inter-
ests of the State, for Mr.. McComas'
Observation-Disclosures Examiner.

Prohibition in National Politics.

While it is undeniable that prohi-
bition is making great strides in pop.
ular favor all oyer the Union. moth
ing is easier than to show that 1t can
have no hope Of success when intro
duced into the field of national poll
tics. 1t may draw votes from the
| D o.,..L,;---------s.-a. I-ronIpition
! President is as far from being a pos
sibility now as when the contest was
inaugurated seventeen years ago.
Every unsuccessful party in the
past, from the Anti-Masons of 1892
and the Free-Soilers of 1910 down to
the Greenhackers of 1880, has polled
a larger vote than the Prohibition
party. And if the vote of st. John
be compared with that for jackson,
Clay and Fremont when these men
represented the then budding causes
of Democracy, Whigism and Repub-
licanism in 1882 and 1856, it will be
found that whereas Jackson polled
56 percent in the first pear, and Clay
and Fremont 43 percent and SO per-
cent respectively, the vote of St. John
was only II percent. and this after
Prohibition had been appealing to the
people for seventeen years.
1t is because the Morning Herald
has been the consistent advocate of
temperance that it has always depre.
Gated the introduction of prohibition
into the field of national politics.
Some adherents of the cause claim
that it will triumph by wave of
popular sentiment as the anti slavery
movement triunphed. But the com.
parison is not strictly just. Slavery
was question of human rights, in
voluntary bondage; Prohibition is a
question of social government and
voluntary bondage. The Liberty
party triumphed by suffering itself
to be absorbed by the more powerful
Free-Soil and Republican organiza-
tions,and if Prohibition is to triumph
to-day it must be by absorption into
some more powerful party which can
be truly deemed a national one.
Unfortunately, Prohibition has
weakened itself, from a national
standpoint, by antagonizing every
movement aiming to discourage or
modify the liquor traffic, that does
not involve national Prohibition. By
setting up candidates in close districts
the Prohibiti0nists put premium on
the election of the very men most
hostile to Prohibition or temperance
in any form, and. by assailing the
great leaders of the Republican par
ty, they are consciously, or uncon-
sciously, pulling down the pillars of
the temple which Republican leg isla-
tion has built up for them. Balto.
