Tie finished, the conflict is past,
The Heaven born spirit has fed,
Her wish is accomplished at last,
And now she's entombed with the dead.
No sickness, or sorrow, or pain,
Shall ever disquiet her now,
For death to her spirit was gain
Since Christ was her life here below.
Rer soul has now takeE its fight,
To mansions Of glory above,
To mingle with angels of light
And dwell in the Kingdom OF Love.
The coffin, the shroud and the grave
To her were no objects of dread,
On Him who Is mighty to save
Her soul was with confidence stayed.
Then let us forbear to complain
That she has now gone from our sight.
We soon shall behold her again, E
With new and eternal delight.

One cannot be surprised to hear that
the sultan thinks of turning his innumer-
able curiosities into money. Those who
have been allowed to visit the Dar-es-
Saadet and st. Irene-a rare privilege
nowadays-have been wondering ever
since, probably, what motive or super
stition has checked his majesty SO long.
Nor is it altogether surprising that a
London jeweier of position should hesi-
tate to accept the charge of valuing these
miscellaneous hoards-a dozen experts
of the most consummate assurance would
find more than they could deal with
there. One thing is certain-that no
body can form an idea how much this
astonishing collection is worth. We
may suppose, from the choice of Jew
eler to advise him, that the sultan puts
most value on his gems. Certainly they
are so many and so huge that all the
crown treasures of Europe could not equal
the display-if only they are genuine.
But there is grave doubt in that Iues-
tion, to begin with. Since the gates have
been closed to all but few favored vis-
itors, there has been no effective super
vision of the guardians, who, it must be
supposed, are not paid more punctually
than other officials. 1t was on their
complaint of purloining strangers that
the old facilities were withdrawn; and
some think that they had motive quite
different from honest indignation in that
protest.
When those museums are overhauled,
however, thousands of objects more pre-
cious than gold or jewels will be un-
earthed. AS an instance, Hebrew sue
ceeded in stealing three old helmets from
st. Irene, just before the doors were
closed, and sold them to an English gen.
tleman resident at Pera for less than a
hundred francs apiece. This gentleman
parted with one for more than thou
sand pounds. Chicago Herald.

PoliticalPiracy.

In the last seven congressional elec-
tions in OHIO the Republicans cast
2, ,413, ,344 votes. The Democrats cast
the same election 1880, ,l62 votes, The
2, ,413, 600 Republican votes elected to
congress 85 members. The, 2,360,00O
Democratic votes only elected SO con-
gressmen. It only required, during
that entire period of fourteen years,
5000 Republican votes in Ohio to elect
q member of congress, while at the same
elections 1T required an average of
40, 600 Democratic votes. The net Re-
publican plurality of So 900 during that
entire period was represented by 20 Re-
publican congressman, whose seats
were deliberately stolen by the most in
famous of gerrymanders.
In the congressional election of 1880
1t required 68, 1853 Democratic voters to
elect q member. while $4,000 Repnbli
can voters were enough to elect
In 1885 every groupe of 22,740 Re-
publican, voters in Ohio sent to the low
|er House of Congress q representative,
while at the same election it required
the votes Of 80, 600 Democrats to do the
same thing.
But the climax of infamy was not
reached till 1883, when it required the
votes of 20, 900 Republicans to elect a
member, while it took 79,29l Demo-
Gratis.
Atthe present time every Republican
voter In Ohio has more than three
times as mnch representation in the
lower House Of congress as has his
Democratic neighbor. Under the

The rat plague in the fen district of
Lincolnshire still continues to cause much
uneasiness among the farmers. A press
representative was recently conducted
over one of the affected stackyards, and
was astonished at the enormous destruc-
ton wrought in all directions. The 'runs"
in the stacks were as large as rabbit bur-
BOWS, and in many instances half the
produce Of some crops has been destroyed.
The woodwork of the buildings has been
gnawed through, while the holes in the
drain banks are so numerous as TO form
a kind of vast honeycomb. The rats ap-
pear almost as numerous as ever.-Pall

Foraker sineed.

Wood in his evidence on Wednesday last
said: "Idon't want to mix up this matter
any more and there is no use going any fur
ther. You," pointing his finger at Hadden,
''concocted this whole thing and you," point
inga Foraker, furnished me the names.
This whole thing was done under your direc-
ton. I thought you knew what you were
talking about. You wanted buffer. I
knew nothing except what you told me. As
God is my Judge that is the truth"
This is strong language. II comes from
one who knew what he was talking about,
whether true or false. He has no other
object now in charging Foraker with COM
plicity in the crime than revenge for the
charge Foraker made against him of being
wholly to blame in the matter. Foraker's
interest in securing the forgery was far great
or than Woods. He not only wanted to de-
feat Campbell with it but he wanted also to
close the mouths of Grosvenor, Butterworth,
Sherman and others as we'll as to ruin them
politically. His attempt to keep the paper
from publication and hold it as club proves
that he had some misgivings about giving it
to the world. He knew something was
wrong with the document and Woods evil
dence goes to show what that something was.
The whole matter was one of the deepest laid
plots ever concocted in a campaign and
would have succeeded had Foraker kept the
document from publication as he originally
intended. The whole matter was dirty af-
fair, concocted by Republican rascals, carried
out by Republicans and comes back with
crushing forceon the Republicans engaged
in it.--PLain Dealer.

by whom We are surrounded call atten-
ton TO the suppression of votes in the
South. 1t is well to divert the atten-
ton from the outrages Ia our midst.
Taxation without representation was
one Of the causes that led to the revo-
luton of 1776.
Having disfranchised two-thirds OF
the Democratic voters Of Ohio by a ger
rymandering scheme that gives them
the present lower house of Congress,
the Republican party now seeks to per-
petuate the steal and to .perpetuate its
power by passing law to prevent the
righting Of this gigantic wrong.
They propose to cut off the represen-
tation of the people for the purpose of
perpetuating their schemes of public
plunder.
The Democrats of Ohio demand that
their legislature give them an oppor-
tunity to be heard in the halls of Con-
gress. They demand that the voice of
the people be no longer stified. If su,'h
scheme could be devised as to give the
Democrats of Ohio the entire twenty
one congressman from this state for the
next two years it would fall five short
of equaliZing the representation Of the
parties since 1875.
While such scheme would meet the
requirements of justice, and would be
in striking contrast with the larceny of
power that is contemplated by the de-
caying aggregation that now controls
the national government-a pharasa-
ical aggregation that fears the voice
of the people at the approaching elec-
tion-yet it may not be prudent to right
one wrong by an act that would appear
Unjust.
1t may not be policy to make more
than Is Democratic districts out of the
2l at the present time. 1t may be better
to trust to the common fairness of the
public to right the wrong in the future
than to seek it all at once.
But of the thing we can rest assured,
the temper of the Ohio Democracy is
such that it will endure no longer the
present theft of power. The stolen goods
must be surrended. The cloak of
piety must no longer protect puritan
ical political pirates in the enjoyment
of their plunder.

The Spring Medicine.

The popularity which Hoods Sarsa-
parilla has gained as spring medicine
is wonderful. 1t possesses just those
elements of health-giving, blood-puri-
flying and appetite-restoring which
everybody seems to need at this season.
Do not continue in a dull, tired, unsat-
isfactory condition when you may be
so much benefited by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. 1t purifies the blood and makes

Guns have for some years been used
with most satisfactory results for fog
signaling on the Swedish coast. Their
signals have been heard as far as twelve
nautical miles, which we believe is a
greater distance than the signal from a
siren can be heard. A new gun has Just
been manufactured and stationed at
Hohne Gadd, in Sweden, Commander
Engstrom having furnished the drawings
for this as well as the previous guns.
The one in question is made of best
wrought Sandviken Bessemer steel at
the Stafsjo Engineering company. 1t is
10 feet long and the caliber is go millime-
tres. The breechloading mechanism il
of Commander Engstrom's design and
allows of firing from twenty to thirty
shots per minute. It viii thus be possi-
BILE to fire letters according to the Morse
alphabet, one shot being dot, and two
shots close together dash.
OF this system of signaling more may
be heard by and by. The breech loading
mechanism can be taken out and to pieces
in less than a minute, and without the
a. of any tools, and also put together
without any. The cartridges can be used
from 100 to 800 times. The gun rests on
a gun carriage Of wood and is placed in a
small hole in the wall The shed or house
is very conveniently arranged for the
men, with accommodation for refilling
the cartridges, etc. The gun, with 1870
brass cartridges, spare ports and ammu-
milton for 10000 shots, has only cost e275.
The gun can probably stand some 10000
shots, SO the cost for shot, exclusive of
powder, will be only about ID. -Engi-

There seems to he great probability
that the Belt mountain branch will
not he completed to the mines this
fall, but will stop at Monarch for a
story circulated to the effect that the
railway company stood in with the
boomers OF Monarch. Mr.. Hill says ::
"rhe road has been surveyed to Nei-
hart and Barker and the construction
would have been well under way at
this time and the line completed to
one or both places early in the sum
mer, were it not for the fact that the
people in these camps have made but
little effort to increase their mineral
output. Their main object seems to
have been to get railway for the
purpose of enabling them TO advance
the prices OF their prospect holes,
without any intention on their part
to open the mines and provide ton
mage to employ railway. This last
reason. and this only, is the cause for
the delaying, and as soon as this
delay is remedied the line will be
completed at once" The above is
n triile tart, and while it may he
