The riddle of the Sphinx is at length
on the point of being solved. The great
map.headed, lion-bodied monument,
which has for ages been more than half
buried by the accumulating sands OF the
desert, is now being rapidly brought to
light; and ere long one of the most extra
ordinary relics of Egyptian civilization
will be once more visible in its entirety.
The work has been going on ever. since
January last, when, at the suggestion OF
M. Maspero, the chief directorof the de-
partment of antiquities in Egypt, the
French public, in the course OF few
hours. subscribed sufficient funds to en-
able the work of excavation to be carried
to mpleton. The interest Of such news
for Egyptologistssmay be conceived, when
it is remembered that the last time the
Sphinx was dug out of the sands was by
King Shothemes w., fifteen centuries
before Christ, or about 3,400 years ago.
Scholars, in fact, are Of the opinion that
the Sphinx is the oldest monument in
the world. In the opinion of some, it
was erected or chiseled out of rock more
than forty.fve centuries before the Chris
tian Era. The body is more than $50
feet long. The ears of the human-shaped
head are about six feet in length, the
other features being in proportion. The
earned explorers, who are engaged in the
work of excavation, hold it probable that
when the statue is fully brought to light
a number of other important discoveries
will be made.

SCOTS SARCASM.

Mr.. SCOTT. of Pennsylvania, probably
does Mr.. DAY, of Dakota, too much
honor in ascribing to him the organiza-
ton of San Francisco's strength in the
committee. And it is still more proba-
bic that he does Mr.. DAY injustice in
attributing to him and to the San Fran
cisco movement hostility to the admins
tratiOn. Without regard to what MI.
DAYS personal feelings in the matter
may be,we know that among the friends
of San Francisco in yesterdays
struggle there are some who are Just
as warm supporters of the administra-
ton as among those who supported Chi
cago and st. Louis. If an anti-adminis-
tration phase to the contest has been
developed it is due to the oyer-Officious
efforts made by Congressman SCOTT,
who seems to be infatuated with
singular desire to be recognized on all
occasions as the sole spokesman for the
administration. 1t is altogether likely
that the corporation influence is being
eXerted against the administration
wherever an opportunity occurs to put
in lick. But it will not do for Con-
gresham SCOTT to intimate that every
man who doesn't think as he does is
under corporation influence. 1t is not
a judicious way of talking, to say the
least of it,

THE SECRET SESSIONS.

PROFESSIONALLY the secret sessions of
the senate ought to be abolished.
Though there are undoubtedly advan-
tages to be derived from the fact that
public business may at times be dis
cussed in complete privacy, yet the con-
siderations of ineXpediency far out
weigh these.
The senators are public servants,
though many of them in their dealings
with the people seem to lose sight of
that fact, and the business which comes
before them is the business of their
masters, who surely have IA right to
know everything about their own con-
Germs. Not only is it their right, but
accurate knowledge of all that goes on
during an executive session should be
furnished them on the score of eX-
pediency. 1t frequently happens, i'll
the discussion of treaty for instance,
that the senate is in doubt as to the
proper step to take.
If it could be given an expression of
the public'S opinion it would have but
little difficulty in deciding. But the
ban of secrecy forbidS. On the con-
traIy, were it removed and were the
business OF executive sessions given the
people through the newspapers, the
senate would be given an expression of
the opinion of the entire country in any
doubtful matter twenty-four hours after
it had been presented to their attention.
Its way would be at once mapped out
and hesitancy would be at an end.
The secret sessions are undemOcratic
as we'll as arbitrary, and in demanding
their abolition the people are asking no
more than they are entitled to.

A WRESTLING PARTY.

The Republicans held a little whis-
Ting party last night at Detroit. They
whistled in concert in order to keep
their courage up, for much has occurred
to overcast their minds with fear and
anxiety. Even our own CUsHMAN X.
DAVIS was there, and, though percepti-
bly, dOwncast by the SCATTERING of his
idol, whistled very vigorously with the
rest of the boys.
Yet one there was conspicuous by his
absence. Candidate SHERMAN, learn
ing wisdom by experience, was not
present. 1t was too much of chance.
TO the mind of the Ohio statesman
there is no doubt whatever that he will
be the nominee of his party. He, there
fore, does not care to run the risk of
being betrayed into the use of an in
cautious expression that might kill him
politically as dead as macker. ell
Hence, even SO plate banquet had
no charm for him.
But the others were all there. and as
the whistling went on and the wine
went around their courage increased.
By the time their meeting room was "a
banquet hall deserted there wasn't one
of them who didn't believe that the

The PUBLIC LANDS.
Text Of the Bill Prepared by the House
Committee.
A NEW SECTION INSERTED.
The Applicant Must Make Affidavit
That the Land Is Solely for
His Own Use.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-After work
ing for nearly two months upon the
measure, the house public lands COM
mittee to-day completed the bill
reclassifying and regulating the
methods of disposal of public
lands. The only substantial changes
made in the bill at to-day's
meeting were the insertion of new
section requiring personal entry of
public land to file with the application,
In affidavit declaring that he makes it
solely for his own benefit and has no in
tentiOn that it shall inure to the benefit
OF anyone else, and requirement in
the case of desert land entries that the
entryman shall, within the six years al
lowed for the perfection of the entry,
use every effort to reclaim the land.
MIR. PaySOn moved as an amendment
that the right to make entries on the
public lands be restricted to American
citizens. The bill allows persons de-
claring all intention to be a citizen to
enter lands. After some discussion a
motion was lost but the bill remains I'M
changed in that particular. The COM
mittee is unanimously in favor of the
bill and is hopeful that it will meet
with the approval of the senate, believ-
ing that it has succeeded in keeping
out of the measure all of the legislation
which was so repugnant to the senate

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

tutcd an Investigation of trusts A
committee consisting of the ablest MEM
bers of the assembly has been appointed

a great field for investigation that COM
mittee has, and what an opportunity
Gen. PRYOR has for immOrtaliZing HIM
self. But for all that the people at large
are very suspicious about the outcome
of the investigation. 1t is come to pass
in this country that it is easier
for camel to go through
the eye of q needle than to get fair
and thoroughly searching investigation
of anything that monopolists are inter
ested in. However, we shall hope for
the best, and if that committee and
Gen. PRYOR do cover themselves with
glory by bringing the hidden iniquities
of the trust system to light. the people

ments after death higher than BAR

DEPRESSION IN ENGLAND

The agricultural depression in Eng
land has reached such an extreme that
it has been made the subject of Darlia-
mentary consideration, and its impor-
lance is declared to overshadow that of
the Irish question. The fact seems to
be that the English farmer, except i'm
isolated cases, must make up his mind
that there is no longer chance for
money making in agriculture, and that
he is to congratulate himself if he sue
ceeds i'll making living by tilling the
soil. There are more farmers than
there are acres to go around, and those
who have been unable to secure any
land to till are daily becoming more
numerous.
The limited land area in England,
taken in connection with the fact that
what there is has been gobbled up by
the aristocracy, effectually prevents the
farmer from owning his own land. At
best he can only secure a lease, and the
chances are that bis only opportunity
for supporting himself when that fails
him lies in entering the service of some
one more fortunate. The love of home
is strong with every Englishman, and
that probably accounts for the fact that
despite the unfavorable conditions pre-.
vailing i'll England emigration has been
| so little resOrted to.
1t is, however, the only solution OF
the question. If there is no room fol
Englishmen at home they must &c
abroad. Let them turn their attention
for instance. to Dakota and Minnesota
where farms equal in fertility to those
in England, and of much greater extern
than even the well-to-do English farme

1T OPPREsSES LABOR.

1t is admitted that figures can some
times be made to lie, but when left to
themselves, without improper manipula-
ton, they are so unyaryingly truthful
that it requires the very essence of
cheek to dispute what they tell. 1t is,
therefore. matter of no little interest
i'll the tariff discussion now occupying
the public mind to study the relative
statistics relating to the wages of Oper-
atOrS in England and the United States,
in order TO come to a correct under
standing as to what effect the protective
system has on wage earners. There is
no authority more popular among work
ingmen than that eminent Statistician,
j. E. THOROLD ROGERS, for the cause
of labor has never had a more able
champion. His long and able advocacy
OF the rights of wage earners to pro-
tect themselves by association in trades
unions anu similar societies has Ell
deared him to the heart of every wo'k-
ingman in the world. In his book,
''SiX Centuries of Wages and Work.
Mr.. ROGERS has gone into a comparison
of the conditions of labor under the
free trade ideas which prevail in
England and the protection idea which
predominateS in this country. 1t is
shown that under free trade the
wages of operatives in Great Britain
have increased $50 per cent, while
in the same time the wages of American
operatives only advanced 35 per cent.
This Of itself contradicts the theory adj
vanced by theImonOpolies that protec-
ton benefits the .workingmen. 1t only
goes to show Ethat the profits realized
under the protective system go into the
pockets of the capitalistic monopolists,
while the American operators are I'M
derpaid and oppressed.

4 Threatened Strike.

CLEVELAND. o., Feb. 22.-It is said
that there is trouble brewing between
the Ship Carpenters and Callers' asSO-
citation and the shipbuilders at all ports
along the chain of lakes, aud great
strike is probable. Last fall the ship
building and dry dock firms shortened
their employees hours Of labor from ten
to nine hours day. The ship carpen-
tiers and caulkerS have been receiving
So per day, but under the short time
they were paid S2.75. During the win
ter. il is said, the wOrkmen materially
strengthened their organization and Sc
cured the good will of the Knights of
Labor. On the 18th inst the carpenters
and caulkerS at lake ports notified their
employers. so it is said, that on March
they would expect their Old wages for
ten hours work for nine hours of labor
on all new contracts. The iron ship
builders are not affected by the demand.
