ornamentation of Hindoo Women

The Hindoo woman has four ways o.
ornamenting her carson the tops, al
the sides in the middle and in the lobe.
She decks her ears with gold and pre-
cious Jewels on the occasion of feast or
festival, nor does she neglect her nose
and toes, all of which come in tor a
share of ornaments of the precious metal.
On ordinary days they wear wooden
plugs in their ears to keep the hole in
their ears from growing together.
The anklets worn by the inhabitants
of the mountainous parts are heavy and
solid, while those worn by the women
of Raiput and Southern India, on the
contrary, are lighter and moregraceful,
with the ancient Roman style of clasp.

The Railway Age of Chicago shows
that Southern progress in the matter
of railroad building, as we'll as in
some other matters that might be
mentioned, is in advance of all the
rest of the country. It has compiled
the number of miles of railway built
in the United States from the first of
January to the first of June of the
present year, making the total 2,271,
and shows that about one-half of the
whole was in the States of this sec
ton, distributed as follows: Vir-
ginia and West Virginia, SO miles ;
North Carolina, 81; South Carolina,
IS; Georgia, 1876; Florida, SO; Ala
bama, 146; Mississippi, 10; Louisiana,
go; Tennessee, Ill; Kentucky, 1872;
Arkansas; IS; Texas, lit; total, LILO.
This is showing that should encour-
age US all, because railroad building
means general progress, general de-
velopment, general Improvement OF

The Masses VS.. the Glasses.

A ASAA4 "a 6ofSA
is contradistinguished from an auto
cracy, a limited monarchy and an
aristocracy by the fact that it is in
tended to secure and protect the
rights of the people as mass, while
all the other forms of government
named are devised to make the peo-
pie as a mass the subjects of a single
ruler, or of a select oligarchy. In a
republic there can be no privileged
class, for the government is estab-
lished on the basis of the perfect
equality of the governed in all things
pertaining to it. In despotisms of
the various forms there are nee
essarily privileged classes. Notwith-
standing these truisms it is the de-
clared policy of the mis-called Re-
publican party to pervent the powers
of the government of the United
States to what is called the ''protec-
ton" of classes at the expenses of the
whole body of the people.
Wheu the taxing power of the gov
eminent is employed to build up any
industry by increasing the cost of its
products to the mass which use them,
or by preventing them from buying
similar products in the cheapest
market, the republican principle is
violated. That power cannot be so
employed without a rejection of the
fundamental republican doctrine OF
the equality of the governed. Favorit,
ism by the government to manufac-
turers or producers of whatever kind
is utterly unrepublican because it is
utterly unjust to those who are con-
sumers and cannot be favored by the
government be it never so willing.
The so-called protection" of the
tariff laws, being necessarily partial,
in fact limited to only small fraction
of the entire population of the coun,
try, is therefore in plain antagonism
to the Republican idea. It violates
the principle of the equality of the
governed. 1t is the very essence OF
class legislation and has the effect of
establishing a political caste in this
country altogether at variance with
the intention of the founders of the
republic.
Herein consists the difference be-
tween the Democratic party-the true
Republican party of Jefferson-and
the sham Republican party of to-day.
The Democracy opposes class legis-
lation and government favoritism in
whatever form they present them.
selves. The sham Republicans pan
der to particular interests, use the
taxing power of the government to
give special advantages to a class
and thus wiring from the mass of the
people the bounties which enable the
government favorites to become mil
lionaires and in turn to Cypress labor
and defy public sentiment.
Which, then, is the true Republi.
can party? That which defends the
underlying principle of Republican
government, the equality of the gov
erned, and which stands sfor equa
rights to all and special privileges to
none," or that which favors govern
ment protection to a class, ignores
the right of the mass to purchase in
the cheapest market and to sell in
the dearest, and legislates to produce
q moneyed aristocracy which is tap
idly overturning the simple, honest
and true republicanism of former
times! Let the intelligent voter
answer the question for himself.
