ROMANCES OF TIE BIBLE.
Remarkable series of Novels to be PUB
lIsEed by The Dispatch.

Remarkable Series of Novels to be Pub-
lIsEed by The Dispatch.
Prof. Georg Ebers. the famous Egyptologist
has devoted the greater part of his life to
study of that part of Bible history contained in
the Book Exodus Twice, in pursuit Of in
formation, he has travelled over the ground
traversed by the Israelites in their wanderings,
when they left the flesh pots of Egypt to search
for the promised land. This profound scholar
and fascinating author has been engaged by
THE DISPATCH to write a Biblical novel, to
run through ten numbers of the Sunday issue,
the opening chapters of which will be pub
lished next Sunday. Prof. Ebers chosefor the
motive of his romance the departure of the
Israelites from Egypt and their wanderings in
the desert. He had abundant material at COM
mand, and was, therefore, prepared for the
work as soon as the idea was suggested to him.
The idea took entire possession Of him, and he
felt the inspiration of the movements of great
bodies of people. He saw, with the vividDess
of reality the Red Sea scene and the wander
ings in the wilderness. While the title of the
book is Joshua" the influence of Moses is
distinctly felt throughout.
This work will be followed by two romances
by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, author Of THE
Gates Ajar" and Beyond the Gates" assisted
by her husband, Rev. Herbert D. Ward. The
first will be entitled'C Come Forth, nand will treat
of the time of Christ and will be published
next year when the Sunday school children Of
the Christian world are studying the life of
Christ as set forth in the gospel of st. Luke.
This will be followed by romance of the time
of Daniel.
This remarkable series will conclude with
novel by II. Rider Haggard, entitled Esther"
a romance which will deal with the most bril-
oh - af,,sr
of barbaric pomp and rude magnifcence than
almost any other period. For this work Mr..
Haggard is to receive the magnificent sum of

transit.
This is the issue at stake in Cleveland, and
as it will arise in all cities where competing
or rival roads desire ana need the use of the
same streets, the principle which establishes
monopoly is the false one; that which pre-
vents it is the true one.

THE DAY Is PASSING.

Risel for the day is passing,
And you lie dreaming on;
The others have buckled their armor,
And forth to fight have gone;
A place In the ranks awaits you,
Each man has some part to play
The past and the future are nothing
In the face of the stern to-day.
Rise from your dreams of the future,
OF gaining some hard-fought field,
VI storming some air fortress,
Or bidding some giant yield
Your future has deeds of glory,
or honor God grant it mayl
But your arm will never be stronger,
Or the need SO great as to-day.
Rise! If the past detains you,
Her sunshine and storms forget;
No claims SO unworthy to hold you
As those Of vain regret;
Sad or bright, she is lifeless forever,
Cast her phantom arms away,
NOT look back save to learn the lesson
OF nobler strife to-day.
Kise! for the day is passing!
The low sound that you scarcely hear
Is the enemy marching to battle
Arise! for the foe is here.
stay not to sharpen your weapons,
Or the hour will strike at last.
Wnen from dreams of coming battle
fou may wake to find it past.

AS rather amusing example of the
lengths to which partisan journalism leads,
the once moderately independent and in
telligent New York Post is found in its
editorial assertion on Saturday that %
when Mr.. Cleveland became President the
railway mail service was entirely filled by
Republicans; (2) that he only made 1899 re-
movals; and (3) that the Harrison admins
tration has discharged 2,434 men, "nearly
all of them solely because they were Demo-
Gratis" As this discloses the fact that the
Republican administration has discharged
more Democrats than the Democratic ones
appointed, it becomes rather puzzling
question how the surplus of 435 Democrats
got their noses into the crib.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.I
ALEXANDRIA, VA, September 29.-Captain
John c. Nightingale IS the Oldest Democrat in
Alexandria, and his political representations,
together with his weather prophecies. are all
made upon certain signs which appear in the
heavens, the benefit of which he gives to his
friends without compensation. In talking to-
day of the recent floods and heavy rains he
said:
"a think the cause Of the heavy loss of life by
water and the extraordinary loss of property
by fire in this country during the present year
is due entirely to the fact that the Republican
party is IN control of the nations affairs.
There never has been Republican administra-
ton within my recollection that has not been
attended by great loss of life and property. and
the great Ruler of all things has never failed
to express His Indignation of Republican con-
troll on Inauguration day by giving such day
for the ceremonies as would make Laplander
ashamed OF the party.
"Just think of the. Johnstown flood, Seattle
and Spokane Falls fires, the Cronin murder and
the Tanner episode. 1 tell you that unless the
Democrats get control the country will go to
ruin. l regret to say that Harrison's admins
tration will continue as it has begun, and the
country must suffer-"

A GOOD many sarcasms are afoat con-
cerning the safety of Mr.. Pulitzer's offer to
subscribe 100000 to New York's Worlds s
Fair provided twenty-four others can be
found to subscribe the same sum. Possibly
the string tied to the gift will suffice; but if
New YORK, out of its best millionaires, has
not two dozen. besides Mr.. Pulitzer, who
have got 500, 900 to put into that project, it
will be discreet in it to retire permanently
and promptly from all Exposition enter
prises now and hereafter.

THE proposition is made in San Francisco
to license prize fights at the rate of $1,000
