EX-SENATOR WINDOW.

He Believes that the Democrats win
Commit Blunders Enough to Insure
Their Defeat.
Hon. William Window, of Minnesota,
was recently interviewed at Chicago. To a
reporter he said it was too early to express
any definite views on the subject of gen.
eral politics, as opinions given now could
be little better than mere surmises. He
was satisfied, however, that the country was
growing tired OF the present administration,
and he was confident that the Republicans
would win in the next Presidential cam
paign. Democracy could not conceal its
hypocrisy, and it was certain to commit
enough blunders to make its defeat an easy
matter.
President Cleveland, the Senator be-
lieved, was strongly in favor of the civil
service law; but, being antagonized in that
by his party, the reform so admirable in
theory became q farce in practice. The
Democratic party was opposed to civil-ser-
vice reform, and even If every Republican
were at once turned out of office there would
be only the few Democrats holding Office
still in favor Of it.
DO you think Cleveland will be nomi-
nated?"
THAT is a question that cannot be an
swered just now With the masses of his
party he is not strong at present. Indeed,
the party itself does not know its own
mind, and its policies and doctrines are
more vague 10Y than before it came into
power"
"You are sure, then, that the Republicans
will carry the country in 1882"
"Certain of it. We must do it. The
people will demand it of u.s."
"Who do you think will be the Republic
can nominee?"
at is impossible to assert whom the Re-
publicans will nominate, but I don't think
it will be Blaine. However, it is vain to
discuss these matters at this time"

hours and one of the vessels was badly cut
up. The other bore down upon her to de-
mand her surrender, but the captain. off
GERS and crew of the disabled vessel had no
thought of surrendering. They were re-
solved to fight to the last, fight while a
plank remained beneath their feet. The

sprang upon he rail and cried

Slavery's Last Relic Of Barbarity.

Match this for grinding, brutal injustice
if you can, and when you cannot, remem-
Der it is part Of the law a Democratic PEN
sion Commissioner deals out to dead SOL
diers:
Mrs. Shaw, an old colored woman of
Tennessee, had four sons in the Union
army, one Of whom was killed in battle. A
little while ago she applied for a pension,
to which his death entitled her; but, al
though it was shown that she received his
bounty of 500 when he entered the service,
Commissioner Black held that as the woman
was a slave at the time of her sons death,
she was not dependent upon him for sup
port, and therefore could not claim a PEN
sion!
The statesmanlike quality which Com
missioner Black exhibits in this wonderful
decision is his highly generous assumption
that Mrs. Shaw was a slave voluntarily, and
by her own consent! Not since the bred
Scott decision spread the shadow Of slavery
over free soil has American law been dis
graced by o worse ruling.
Let Congress act in this case and see il
President Cleveland dare veto!-PhiladeL

reference. The last noteworthy case va
the veto Of President Arthur on the Fits
John Porter bill. That veto had
been Immediately considered by Tho
House, without reference to . COM
mittee. The President had vetoed tho
Romiser bill because he had not been mus
tered in at the time be received his wound.
1t was true Romiser had not taken the oath
to defend the Constitution, but he had
been defending the Constitution against
the domestic enemies Of the flag. A nan
who, in his enthusiasm and patriotism,
went to the defense Of the Constitution,
without taking the oath to defend it, was
entitled to as much consideration as the
man who took the oath to defend the flag,
and then violated that oath; and yet Joseph
Romiser's pension bill was vetoed, and
Fitz John Porter was put upon the rolls.
Applause on the Republican side.l
Mr.. Warner, OF Ohio, believed this to be
q meritorious case, and to be in the line of
all presidents, but he thought it ought to
be referred to the committee.

LOUISIANA POLITICS.
william Pitt Kellogg Has Great Hopes Of
Republican Success in

William Pitt Kellogg Has Great Hopes OF
Republican Success In 81
William Pitt Kellogg was in the city yes
terday on his way North fishing.
"What do you Republicans intend to do
about the Congressman this fall?" Mr..
Kellogg was asked.
"In the First, Second, Third, and Sixth
Districts we shall probably nominate can
didates. The rest / guess we will let 90
without a contest. We ought to elect our
men in the First n Second, but the result
is doubtful"
1t is in 1883 that Mr.. Kellogg has hopes
Of victory. In April Of that year there will
be an entire new set of officials elected
throughout the State, from the Governor
down to the Legislature, which will in turn
choose two United States Senators.
While hoping somewhat for a Democratic
split by that time, Mr.. Kellogg places his
main reliance upon the rmo increase
Of the negro population, which he says is
but slightly comprehended even by South
ern people. The negroes are also becom-'
ing educated, Notwithstanding the efforts of
the whites to prevent it, and are
gaining position where they can
assert their political rights to some
purpose. While the blacks are so rapidly
az thO "HhtC EopululloA Is IuHC-
tically at a standstill, but little outside
blood and capital coming into the State.
The election coming in April preceding the
Presidential contest, will attract wide at
%tention, and under this close scrutiny he
believes ii will not be practicable to COM
NIT the wholesale frauds which have made
the State solidly Democratic. Mr.. Kellogg
seems to have pinned his faith on Repub-
lican success at that time, and to regard all
else preceding it as of minor Importance.
From the am in which he spoke of the
approaching election it was apparent that
he had absolutely no faith in a single Re-
publican being elected.
Among Louisiana Democrats Cleveland
was decidedly unpopular, the opposition to
him led by Senator Eustis and the State
Government being as bitter and intense as
some months ago. By the use of Federal
patronage an administration machine was
built up, but it did not carry the ma So Of
the people with it, and it was doubtful if
Cleveland could carry the State, under N
circumstances, in 1883. His position on
the tariff and on the Mississippi River i'm
provement does not suit them, and they
are more personally interested in these two
things than in all the petty issues raised
during The entire session of Congress-

Engraving.

There is al intimate connection be-
tween the invention of engraving and
the art of the silversmith, or rather
that branch of the si~lversmith's work
which consists of an outline into a plate
of precious metal, to be subsequently
filled up with dark-colored enamel.
This so-called Niello work, according
to recent authority, was never identi-
fed with engraving until, at the close
of the last century. Able Zani found
among some old Italian engravings, in
the National Library at Paris, a print
which he recognized as similar in sub
ject to the famous Pax, decorated with
Niello work, made by Maso Finiguerro
for the Baptistry of st. John, and paid
for, as is proved by the records, in 1852.
This Pax of Assumption was suisse
q~uently transferred to the cabinet of
bronzes in the gallery at Florence,
and it was proved, on comparing it with
the engraving, that the latter had actu-
ally been printed from the silver plate,
before the enamel had been fused into
the outline. prior, therefore, to 1852.
On tho strength of this discovery, Fini-
guerra has, ever since the year 1896,
been credited with the invention of pro-
ducing engraving on paper from metal
plates. There seems little reason to
doubt, as has been often pointed out.
that many silversmiths of the fifteenth
century may have been III the habit of
obtaining trials for their work in prog
ress, as did Finiguerra, perchance,
when he produced this historical print,
representing Christ crowningthe Virgin
from his work on Iii, Florentine Pax.
1t may indeed have becn, together with
the well-known sulphur casts, a recog-
nized mode of obtaining u record of
Niello work, which had been practised
for many years previous to the time in
question, though no such paper i'm
pressions of an earlier date than this
have been handed down to us. 1t was
a common practice to take proofs of the
work by mean of sulphur casts long
previous to 1852, as numerous speci-
mems of such casts have been preserved
to us, but it is difficult to say who was
the first bold innovator who substituted
a piece Of paper for sulphur, and thus
originated the precious art of engraving.
The story of the wet linen, which acct
dentally gave the idea to F%iniguerra, is
generally treated as fiction by those
who have studied the subject.

WHY the Irfsh I,ike Green.

Some old Greek traditions tell how
kadmns, q mighty leader and q very
wise man in all the arts and sciences,
came ove from Asia and taught the
BGotians letters. In Phnnician the
word Kadmus means the Eastman,
while the word Europe, which gradu-
ally was applied to q vast extent Of
land. a continent, Mt first belonged
only to the land just across from the
island Of Eubaa, on the other side of
the narrow strait called Euripus, and
means in lP~hHnician, the West-land.
So when you read of Kadmus coming
to Europe, it is the Eastman coming
to the West-land. Over and over again
in history We find names, to which all
sorts of fanciful derivations have been
given and beautiful legends and myths
have been attached, turning out to be
the simplest kind Of words. Thus, Ire
land also mean Westland, and it comes
from the Celtic word lar and our word
land; lar meaning the West. lar, be-
fore being used to denote the West,
meant the back. and that fact let's us
into an important secret concerning the
religion Of the Celts who first came
over the Irish Sea to the Emerald
Island. It tells us that those early
msn named the points Of the compass
according to the other directions when
the observer faced toward the East.
So the East was named from front, or
forward, the West from back or be-
hind, the North from left hand, and the
South from right hand. That means
that the early Celts worshiped the
Dawn and the Sunrise. And so faith
fully have the old traditions remained
in mems minds in that big western
island Of the British Empire that, to
this day, the emblem on the coat of
arms Of Ireland is a sunburst or rising
sun.
4 mother curious thing is that it is
more than probable that the Irish pref
creme OF the color green, for their
flags and their sashes, arose from q
mistake among those who had lost a
thorough knowledge Of the old Irish
language. The sun, in Irish, is called
by q word pronounced like our word
green" and it is likely that the Irish
fondness for that color arose from the
words exact likeness in sound to their
word for the sun. In the same way,
when we talk about greenhouses, we
think they are called so because the
plants are kept green during the win
ter. Yet it is far more probable that
green" here. is the Irish word mean
ing, not the color, bnt the sun; because
greenhouses are built so as to catch the
suns rays and store them up while it is
hidden by clouds, as happens more
than half the time in showery Ireland.
