to accomplish the practical defeat Of .

membership Of the House. which had
been reported from . Democratic COM

alteration next December should be
fixed. IT, however. those who have
been opposing 1t should renew their
opposition to any resolution to fix
such date. it would be pretty certain to
meet with ultimate defeat Mr.. Randall

The United States Government has
again been made the laughing-stock
Of the world. The war vessel Enter
prise was sent to Tangier to demand
the release Of an imprisoned Moor.
claiming to be entitled to our protec.
ton. Tho commander. however. had
orders not to proceed to hostilities.
and the semi-savsge Bey. as soon as
he learned this fact, treated the de.
mand for his release with contempt
and ridicule.
The special correspondent Of the New
York World at Tsngier. in detailing
this state of affairs. further says that
he has been in many parts Of the
world. but never until now has he &C.
quiesced in the saying of 50 many
American travellers that, when abroad it
is better to be under British protec-
ton. This fact has been the shame
Of the Americans in every part Of the
world. There is no spot where the
British ensign is not looked upon with
fear or respect while the stars and
stripes are fiouted. To declare ones
self an American citizen is, in many
parts Of the earth. to announce your
self as the prey of whomever may de-
sire to Cypress or despoil you.
This has been our traditional for
eign policy ever since the days of our
weakness and National infancy. 1t
should be changed. The name Of be-
ing British subject IS a protection
any where in the world. There is no
man SO poor and obscure that if he can
make his claim good to being entitled
to the protection of Great Britain. she
will defend him to the uttermost, even
If she has to 20 to war to do it. It Is
a part of England's national policy.
Had the Tangier case been that Of an
Englishman instead of an American.
and British man-of-war been sent to
demand his release. the town would
promptly have been shelled had he not
been given up forthwith.
It is burning shame that the United

right should be maintained in any part
of the habitable globe. As it is. know
ing the absolute pusillanimity Of our
foreign policy. the American who de-
sires to travel outside of continental
Europe. As q rule puts himself under
British protection. When James G.
Blaine was Secretary Of State. he took
some steps which seemed to indicate
that he proposed that the United States
should assert her power and dignity In
extending proper protection to her cit
ixens. both native and naturalized. in

But all the same. we need exactly that

indian Ghost Charms.

The dread Of ghosts is common to all
the aboriginal races of Irdia, says the
London Graphic, from whom it has been
very generally adopted by the Aryan con
Qicrors, aud even by the lower classes of
M~ahomedans. All ghosts are believed to
be m'schicvous, and some of them bit
terly malicious, and the only means en-
ploycd to oppose their rancor is TO build
shrines for them, and to make them offer.
ings of Il fowl, Il pig, or, on grand occa-
sions, Of Il buffalo. Any severe illness,
and more especially any epidemic dis
ease, such rs smallpox or cholera, is at
tributed to the ~mallgnancy of certain of
these spirits, who must be propiliatcd &C
cordingly. The man tiger is, perhaps,
the most dreaded of all these demon
ghosts; for when Il tiger has killed
a man the tiger is considered safe from
harm, as the spirit of the man
rides upon his head and guides him clear
of danger. Accordingly, it is believed
that the only sure mode of destroying a
tiger who has killed many people is to be-
gin by making offerings 10 the spirits of
his victims; thereby d~epriving him of
their valuable services The ghosts
most propitiated are of those who have
met a violent OF untimely death, whether
by design or accident, including poison
and disease. Even women who die in the
childbed pang or wrctches who are changed
for their crimes are believed to have the
same powers of causing evil to the living
us those who have been killed by tigers,
or by lightning. or by any other violen,
cause. All these dcitied spirits are often
distinguished by some term denoting the
manner of their death; thus, the '''roddy

and so on. The ghosts OF women who

are supposed to be specially powerful
and vindictive. Most of the diseased
persons whose spirits are now wor-
shipped were the ancestors of some of the

head of the archaeological survey OF

piopitiating the ghosts consists manly OF
the offerings of goats, fowls or pigs, as

the most important of all. These charms
