The death of an old man who had lived
the lonely life OF q hermit on remote
summit Of the Sierra Madre mountains,
brings up in memory that day when the
wires flashed out the news that little
band Of fool-hardy fanatics had taken
possession of Harper'a Ferry and started
little rebellion on their own hook, fol-
lowed little later by the draft Of new
constitution for the provisional govern
ment" they proposed to set up tempo
rarily in these United States pending the
time when they should find leisure to give
thia little detail of their astonishing
scheme more careful and elaborate attpn-
ton. The hermit was Owen Brown, son
OF old John Brown Of the onward march
ing soul, and the last survivor of the
Hsrper's Ferry insurreotion. To middle
aged men this short.lived riot does not
seem SO very far back in the past, but to
younger men the episode has already be-
come almost as distant historically as the
battle Of Waterloo.

OF the country for counteracting swelled

Stevens, the renowned bisyolor, to Africa.
Mr.. Stevens Is well known as having

on bis way to Zanzibar, whence the expo
dition will start. These explorers, whom
the World ia sending in charge of Mr..
Stevens, will try to get authentic news of

In his speech before the Commonwealth
Club, New York, Saturday night, the
Hon Carl Schurz said

The politics of this country are In dc.
plorably corrupt condition, and their refor-
nation is a more important question at
present than either free trade or protection,
Some people say this state OF things can
not be remedied. Yet the condition OF
English politics was much worse not many
years ago, and to. day England is the clean.
est nation, politically speaking, on the face
OF the earth.
Had Mr.. schurz been at Dover during
the past week and seen for himself the
manner in which the senatorial nomina-
ton il being lobbied for by Mr.. Treat
and his agents he would have gained SEINE
fresh pointers about the degradation of
American politics.

From an deliberately marked copy Of
the Battle Greek Daily Journal received
Saturday morning, it is evident that some
people are paying entirely too much at
tention to the "Blair Educational Amend
ment." About eighteen columns are
mainly devoted to three lectures by A. T.
Jones, editor Of the american Sentinel,
who quotes oil sorts of authorities from
American statesmen back to the Christian
fathers. The point particularly i'm
pressed Is that this amendment would
connect church and state in this country.
