ENGLAND LOVES A SPORTSMAN.
Mr.. Depew does not run horses, follow
the hounds, shoot grouse, and take part in
the healthful out of doors sports of which
the Prince OF Wales is fond, and which have
given him the reputation with us OF being
only frivolous, ftolicking sprig of royalty,
vet he says he saw in all this. only an endeav-
OF to meet the demands of his people. 1t did
not take half dozen visits by this thought
full observer to ascertain that this is a nation
of sportsmen, and that the very pendants
which hold the Prince up to criticism in
America make him loved among his people,
who see in him the ideal of their best con-
ditlons.
The wonderful stores of accumulated
wealth in England create a large leisure
class, and their easy way of living finds its
reflex to greater or less extent in the very
humblest. No nobleman or millionaire is
more exacting in his demands for pleasure
and holiday rights than the peasant and
artisan. From the prince to the street arab
every class stuGies all sorts of sports, and
takes an interest IN them, if they cannot
afford to take part in them, and they look
upon winner in any game with more ad-
miration than upon gold.
AVERY HAPPY PEOPLE,
Royalty gets little more out of this than
the workman, for all classes here will take
their share of pleasure, which is a large one,
and despite the talk we hear at home about
oppression, etc., there is no country on the
face of the earth that have ever seen where
so much is done for the care, protection and
pleasure OF the common people as in Great
Britain. In this the Prince of Wales has
been a very prominent factor, as Mr.. Depew
very soon observed, and he also readily saw
that it is not the few in this country that
have all the chance, but the many also have
their share in the game of this life. That is
why London is always deserted from Satur-
day until Monday, and you cannot get q
meal of victuals at any restaurant in town
until after o'clock Sunday evening. The
big hotels make bluff at feeding people,
but 1t is poor attempt and only Americans
suffer by it.
Mr.. Depew also uttered very important
truth when he said that "the Prince Of
Wales was the busiest man in England"
Ever since he reached his majority he has
been the most careful in observing his pub
lie duties.

ent fellows, like the bold Balfour him
self. So they took up the challenge, and
voted for the presentation with the best Lib
erals among us. A very good thing, they
saw, that the forces of order in Ireland
should have such a bludgeon at their dis
posal. So here it is, and this very day off it
goes to Colonel Caddell at Tipperary."
The club is a real specimen brought home
by traveller; it is about two feet and hall
long. of a reddish-colored wood, hard, light
and handy; and the handle is studded with
the proud marks which number cracked
skulls. None OF that sticking plaster nom
sense, % which curls the lip of Mr.. Balfour,
after knock with this toy! On German
silver plate runs the following inscription:
"Presented by the City Parliament. Salisbury
Court, Fleet street, through Colonel Caddell,
to the Irish civil police in Tipperary, for
future use to squelch all malcontents who
dare to hold public meetings, and thus bore
us with their famine and other grievances.

After he met him, it did not take Mr.. De-

what has been so often pictured in the
United States.

blotter and paper weight combined, says the

brick is being made and is still soft, an or
dinary knob with a screw end is worked
into it, there is provided a neat handle by
which to lift it.

SECRET OF CIPHERS.
The Art of Writing 50 Outsiders Can
not Read the Message.
OLD JEREMIAH HAD A SYSTEM.
Some Of the Simpler Methods and Complex
Notifications.
TECHNICAL KEYS USED In BUSINESS

The use of ciphers is almost as ancient an
the use of letters. 1t Is certain that the
prophet Jeremiah had and used system of
clpner winch must have been known to
many OF those for whose edification he wrote.
says the New York Press. This cipher was
one OF the simplest form, and however snc-
cessful its employment may have been at the
early period it would be ealtogetherinefectual
in the present day, the plan adopted being
that of writing the alphabet from a to z in
one line and then repeating it in the reverse
order underneath, thus:
a b d ( etc.,
zyx WIT etc.,
the required word or words being expressed
by the letters in the lower line corresponding
to the proper letters in the upper line,
deaf" for instance, being represented by
wvzu. Jeremiah, of course, employed the
Hebrew alphabet. and in this way obtained
the word Sheshaeh, which occurs in the
twenty-s1xth verse of the twenty-ffth chap
ter of his book, and there stands for Babel
During our Civil War the value of good
cipher was amply proved, and in the
political history of the country ciphers have
more than once played an Importont part, as
witness the famous cipher dispatches" Of
1876, when the rival parties were contending
for the election of Hayes or Tilden. Indeed,
it is pretty we'll known that all civilized
governments and almost all great political
organizations employ ciphers.
One OF the simplest, and one fairly effect
i've, is to have several cipher alphabets ar
ranged on the historic plan of Julius
Caesars. In this way each successive line
or word, or given number of words, NAV de-
mand different key. Thus series Of
alphabets may be arranged:

until square has been formed containing
the whole alphabet In each line, but with
each line beginning with different letter.
To write a message with this cipher the
first word or line would be written with
the cipher letters provided by the second
line, the second word or line with letters
from the third line, and so on. Thus, chang
ing the key with every WORD, the prase

The comparative ease or difficulty with
which such a message could be deciphered
would largely depend upon its length, and,
indeed, in all cases it may be taken as an
infallible maxim that the longer a cipher
message or document is the more easily it
can be read. To render the surreptitious
decipherment Of ciphers of this class more
difficult the division OF words is sometimes
altered by carrying the last letter of each
word over to the next word, as
nff no gkhu h.
Or by adding initial letters to preceding
words, as
nffus gk huh.
All these expedients having failed to dis
comft the crafty pirates OF hidden knowl-
edge, the aid of figures was invoked, and the
letters of the alphabet were expressed by pre-
arranged groups Of figures tnus:

were unanimously adopted
l. That it endorses the brave and patri-
otic administration of President Cleveland
and especially his message of December
1887, as the clear and candid declaration
of the party upon the subject OF the tariff.
2. We again declare our unqualified de-
mand for tariff reform as made by the Dem
ocratic party in the last campaign; we be-
leve that the plunder of the people in the
shape OF excessive indirect taxation cannot
be made tolerable by being labeled "protec-
ton" and we call the attention of the peo-
pie TO that inlquitous measure called the
"McKinley Bill" which, in the interests OF
the monopolsts who dominate the Repub-
lcan party, strikes desperate blow at all
the chief interests of the people of this Con-
gressional District.
3. We declare our uncompromising con-
demnation of the partisan and sectional leg
islation contemplated by the Force bill,
which, under the false name of an Election
bill seeks to control the elections mentioned
in 1t in the interests of the Republican par
| ty, and in order to do so, boldly violates the
principles of our institutions.
d. We denounce the tyrannous conduct
and partisan rulings of Speaker Reed, by
sustaining which, the Republican members
OF the House of Representatives virtually
declared that the Democratic congressman
had no rights which he was bound to re-
spect, and we invite comparison, among
all honest citizens between his record as
Speaker and that of Speaker Carlisle.
5. We denounce the late gerrymandering
Bill introduced into Congress by Mr. Nc
Comas Tor purely partisan purposes, which
even Republican House could not be in
duced to pass.
9. We condemn the wholesale unseating
OF Democratic Congressman by the Repub-
lican Speaker and members in order to
strengthen their party majority and we
look in vain for one instance where Mr.
McComas refused TO sanction this gross and
shameful wrong.
z. Considering speeches and professions
OF Hon. l.. Il McComas in past campaigns
on the stump and TO our people, we have
seen with amazement his votes and speeches
in the present session of Congress and can
md no instances in which he has used his
energies and ability for the prosperity and
good OF his constituents; he has been with
the most radical in every species of partisan

Tuesday last the Republicans in Congress
finished their unscrupulous and unpatriotic
work of the present session, 1t is to be hoped,
when they without facts or even argument
unseated two Democrats, one from Virginii
and one from South Carolina, and seatc0
two negroes In their places. These acts
were vehemently applauded by the negro5s
crowding the galleries and the Republicdn
Representatives in Congress. There were
other contested cases, but the committee
could not find time to prepare them, aAd
the two negroes seated can be of no use at
present to the majority of that body, and
these two circumstances are indubitable
proof that this violent action was taken to
appease the negro voters and again misIeaq
them into support of the Republican PARRY,

Vital Wicks.

"There are three wicks to the lamp of a
mans lie }: brain, blood and breath" Thus
writes an eminent American author. The
most frequent arrangements occur in the blood
and in the liver, by which, when in healthy
condition, the blood is purified. Look oul
for the terrible chain of diseases that owe
their inception to torpid liver and consequent
impure blood When the symptoms of liver
and kidney troubles, consumption, (Lung.
scrofula, bronchitis and dropsy, make their
appearance, the system is in immediate need
of course of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Its marvellous effects have been
tested and proven in the cure of tens of thous-
ands OF cases. 1t purifes and enriches the
blood, restores lost vitality, and effectually
eradicates the seeds of the worst maladies
that afflict mankind.
