MOSQUITO TERRITORY.

n Tiny Central American State Whose
Pcoplo Are Children OF Nature. =.
The royal family of Mosquito Terri
tory owes its origin to tho shrewdness
OF the early English traders who sue
cecdcd to the business of the buc-
cancers and freebooters when the lat

AT that period the Moacos were divided
on the question whether or not to well

voTcd the friendly portion. aided them
In their fight, and crowned the con-
quering chief as King. The royal
purple and insignia comprised faded
red coat cast off by somo Lieutenant,
q sllver-gilt crown, u very largo
sword, and g. sccpter of moderate
value. Tho traders pursued the Same
Policy with lesser chiefs. and such il
luatriCus names as Lord Nelson, Duke
OF Wellington, Duke of York and
Marlborough were handed around so
freely that along the shore to-day one
feels as if he had dropped into tho
most exclusive circles of Belgravia.
The hold the English got upon tho
country has never been relinquished
and the mother: country still continues
every consular Office she ever started.
The people Of tAeso sn all towns. are
thoroughly children Of laturc, with

''LeWira,' who j. represented as a
water-dog, and in an evil spirit called
'Wa'usha." Their god Of the high
country or mountainous legion back
from the coast is represented as q
turkey. They havo great faith in
their med!ciue-men, whose authority
is often greater than that of the King,
and these gentlemen Of the medical pro-
fession always exact one-half of the
stipulated price OF attendance in nd-
vance. When children arrive at

few banana trees and corn-feld; and
the latter the wife always expects to
retain in her possession to render her
q more attractive divorcee. When
the parties unable to agree the
King is chosen as arbitrator, and If
his decision is appealed from the
British Consul's word is final It is
astonishing what reverence these
people have inherited for England.

Hon THOMAS b. REED, the most pow

Of Representative, says that there will
undoubtedly be an extra session called

Kinley, of Ohio, another very prominent

that an extra session would be called in
October The same opinions were ex-
pressed by Messrs Cannon and
Burrows, of Michigan. the other
well-known spcakership candidates

PRE- SIDF~T HARRISON.


The administration is so far peculiar
in its personal power and individuality
that even the malien shadow of Wana-
maker cannot take from the firm rcsolu-
ton of Mr.. Harrison enough discount TO
seriously harm him with either party.
The American people take from their
fathers. Of a century ago, the best quail
ties of the English and Dutch, who set
tied New England. New York and Nir-
gilman. and sent their scions westbound
TO capture from the rich wilderness the
fortunes that the lands Of their
sires in Europe could not give them.
Mr.. Harrison IS part Puritan, part Vir-
gilman, and If he has a big patriotic idea,
broad. minded and statesmanlike. let Us
not try beforehand TO make argument

President Harrison is Republican
he msy have been a Radical, but as Pres
iden, OF the United States the high re-
sponsibiliiy has called him to the court
OF his own honest conscience, and we
do not believe that he will be wanting in
the trials Of his hard and difficult po-
siton. We 10 know that on inaugura-
ton day in Warrington the thousands
of people of both parties were not par
tisan In their feelings, and we know on
that day that the Democrats as well as
the Republicans lamented the bad luck
Of a rainy season all of which is to the

It is thing to cause congralulation be- |
