great benefit to the country, to try it. There

THE OLD IDEA that the Jews will finally re-
inhabit Palestine is again before the public in
a new shape. a Jerusalem correspondent
writes that the holy city is fast becoming
again the city of the Jews. In 1880 there
were not more than 5000 jews there; now
there are more than 10000. Recent Russian
prosecutions have led thousands 10 make their
homes there, and although the Turkish gov
eminent forbids all Jews who are not residents
of Jerusalem TO remain longer than thirty
days, yet judicious application Of brides en-
ables them to stay there as long as they please
without molestation. Wealthy Jews have
built hospitals and founded homes, and many
of the refugees who are poor live from the
charity of their brethren.

Read 1t Out of the Party.

We find in the New York World the fol
lowing remarkable attack on the president
and on the democratic party:
The essence Of civil service reform is selection for
fitness and promotion for fidelity and demonstrated
capacity. II this is the true principle for the minor
Offices much more is il so for high judicial posi-
tons. 70 nominate for chief justice of tie United
States man who has never been judge OF any
sort whatever and who, however excellent as
politician and citizen, has only local reputation
lawyer, is disregard of this principle Of selec-
ton that properly challenged tile scrutiny of the
senate.
There is a tendency, alike undomocratic and de
plorable to encourage the executive in the exercise
OF absolute one man power that is foreign TO tie
nature Of his Office and TO the framework OF our gov
eminent OF coordinate branches This wGS seen
during General Grants inCumbency OF the eXecu-
tive Office and il is observable IN the ready chorus
of approval given by subseryIent organs and pati-
clans to all appointments made by President Cievc-
land upon wha; the Herald calls "the autooratic
Russian principle namely, shat of mere personal
and arbitrary will.
The consent of the senate" though doubtless
often abused is one Of the most necessary and CON
seryative OF the checks and balances provided in
our constitution. is deliberate exercise, toT high
public patriotic reasons should not be viewed with
impotence by gcoi citizens.
Does such criticisms as this constitute
genuine democracy? According TO the tone
and temper of recent democratic conven-
tions, especially the democratic convention
which recently assembled in Georgia, they
certainly do not. Editor Patrick Walsh was
cut down in the flower of his youth, so to
speak, because he was bold enough TO de-
lare that the principle of protection wouldc
he very good thing to apply TO the new
and growing industries OF the south, and
for the same reason THE CONSTITUTION
has been read out Of the party by great
many of its esteemed country contempora-
ries.
But both Editor Walsh and THE CONSTR
TUITION stopped short Of such criticism as
that which the World INDUCES in. Both Of
us were in favor of the reform aud revision
of the tariff suggested by the platform on
which the president was elected, and both
were in favor of the abolition of the inter
nal revenue taxes in order TO make that
revision more complete. Bat the democrat
ie party oyerruled Us, and we submitted
without 8 murmur, and now comes the New
York World with It's bosh about the nomi-
nation of Melville w. Fuller.
As democratic paper, the World should
take back seat.

THE PERFECTED PHONOGRAPH" is what
Thomas A. Edison calls his latest improve
ment on this wonderful little machine The
machine consists of fifteen hundred pieces, but
when put together it is very simple. The diff
ference between this machine and regular
talking machines is that it gives an exact
reproduction of what is said in as strong a
voice and with the same emphasis that char
acteriZed the first utterance, while other ma.
chimes repeat what is said very much as doll
is made to say mamma and ''papa," and in
squeaking sound The new machine is so
perfect that seyerel persons can talk, one after
the other, aud when the reverse motion is put
on, if you are familiar with the voices, you
have no trouble in distinguishing them.
slight huskiness a catching of the breath
is reproduced precisely as if the human voice
were at work. a few nights since Mr.. Edison
exhibited his machine TO the members of tho
Electric club Several persons talked into it
at once, and the murmur of their voices and
the words of one rising over the rest were dis
tinctly reproduced. A brilliant piano solo was
repeated, every note, every chord and every
run, and even when the performer by accident
struck two keys together they were both dis
tinctly heard. Mr.. Edison says the phonograph
will reproduce orchestral pieces, and can be SO
constructed as to record and repeat operas or
the solos of famous singers. BY the use Of this
machine stenographers in offices are done away
with, as it is much easier for a man
to dictate his letters into this machine and
send them to typewriter, who, having adj
jnsted it, simply takes off in typewriting what
the machine repeats. If it goes too fast, by
pressing button it can be stopped until the
operator catches up. If he fails to hear cers
tain part he can make the machine repeat it as
often as he desires. Mr.. Edison will build d
large factory 800 feet long by 70 feet wide for
the manufacture of the phonograph. The con-
tract has already been let and the building is
toe comnleted within two mouth %.

A NEW GOVERNMENT building is TO be erect
ed in El Paso, Texas, and the site selected for
it is at present occupied by an extensive struc-
ture covering a whole block. In this building
number of Chinese lived and CONSERVATION
prevailed among them when they were ordered
TO yacate. When the building was cleared it
was found that the whole block was under
mined with hidden tunnels and chambers, in
which all sorts of violations OF the law have
been carried on. The Chinese occupied the
building like so many rats, and it is expected
that when the work OF excavation begins some
strange discoveries will be made.

ment in the betterment of her condition,
that it will become question of doubt as to
whether or not the woman of the future
will present the charms of the woman OF
today.
In the first place, to make Mrs. Les!ie's
Utopian woman, We infer from her argu-
ment that the matter of matrimony VIII
have to be abandoned, as being an obstacle
in the way of the fruition of her hopes as to
the woman of the future. This IS what
she says on this point:
No development of woman's mental, spiritual or
executive rowers VIII ever, in one jot or title alter
the law of nature which leads her to love, marriage
and maternity, and her other capacities must al
ways be grouped around these fundam9ntal eases
No doubt there are great many women VINO never
mary or become mothers but should any one Of
them be invited to do so by the man OF men IN her
eyes, it is than likely she would. for the time
being, feel that no destiny was higher and no Vo-
cation more congenial, than that he suggests
The woman of fifty years hence will not
be the ideal, loving, dependent, helping
woman of today if, in having reached
higher destiny, she feels impelled to seek
vocation ''more congenial than that which
her husband suggests" There are, no
doubt, many women, in this advanced day,
who are opposed to matrimony and who
would abolish it entirely. But this is not
the woman of today. She is the advanced
guard of the "woman of the future" The
position of the woman of today represents
the perfection of the attachments of woman
hood. She has no higher destiny, nor no
more congenial or glorious vocation await
ing her, than that which has been reached
by the true woman of today.
There is no doubt that the destiny of a
large part of womankind is different from
that which has already been reached by
woman, but is this destiny "a higher one"
and is there not possibility that the sphere
of woman may be so completely changed,
as to render it a question of doubt, as to
whether Mrs. Leslie's woman of the future
will be the equal of the woman of today?

A Spiteful Organization.

The fact that General Joseph E. John
ston, late of the confederate army, has been
elected contributing member Of the E. d.
Baker Grand Army Post of Philadelphia,
has created considerable fuss in Grand
Army circles. This is very queer outcome
of 4 soliciting circular forwarded to General
Johnston. The Grand Army posts are sup
posed to contribute literally to the needs
of worthy members and to their families.
The Philadelphia post sent one Of its regu-
lation circulars to General Johnston, who
responded with a contribution Of ten dollars
and his name was entered on the contribut-
ing list OF the post. The ex-confederate
general simply responded to an
appeal for aid, and he was none the less
prompt in responding because aid was
asked for the families of those whom he met
in battle.
But this contribution, promptly and gen.
crously made, has been viciously criticized
by another Grand Army post in Philadel-
phia, and a Chicago post has asked the SUI
preme authority of the organization to reject
contributions from any who were southern
soldiers.
Heretofore, we have had some sort of re-
spect for the organization known as the
Grand Army OF the Republic, but this latest
exhibition of its petty spite assures us that
il is purely political affair intended to adj
vance the interests of the republican party.
Here is southern soldier, in response to
a request contributing money for the benefit
Of the families of the northern soldiers, and
here is a partisan organization refusing to
accept it.
How any genuine American can affiliate
with such narrow-minded organization as
this is a mystery TO US.

retire before the Norwegian rat, large in
size and brown in color.
Ancient scientists seldom mentioned rats
without fear and trembling, giving the crea-
ture credit for more than human intelli-

properly, of rhyming the rats to death; in
other words, they destroyed the creature by
repeating to them certain jingling verses.

'Poetaster" as follows

dren are sure to have something to do in
the matter. 'Man and his gear can no

wagon that fitted too.'''
All things considered, our friend the rat,
