ar way the part the division of the

most interest TO Washingtonians is the
one relating to the meteoric career of
Count Mitkiewicz in the Flowery
Kingdom more than two years ago.
The paragraph in question is as fol-

Had the Polish Count, whose exploits
here two years ago astonlshed the world,
turned out TO have a better record than he
possessed there is no doubt that the Phila-

Barker is the head, would have succeeded
in getting railwoy concession in addition

New York, April IA special

Is his intimate, personal and political

of the Republican State Central Com

from indianapolis to-day, having left
his duties In Washington to 90 TO the
lloosier State and endeavor to get out

He frankly admits that he failed in
his mission, but explains how il was
that the Democrats won nearly all of
the township elections. After making
his explanation Mr.. Huston declares
that "fndiana will go Republican in
1902, and she will 90 for Ben HART
son. Coming from the real head of
the Republican party in the President s
own State this announcement Is taken
to be very significant and official in all
respects.
According TO Mr. IIustons story the
full effect of the Democratic victories
in Indiana is not yet appreciated. The
township trustees that were elected hold
for four years, and for that time will
control all the machinery of the county

NEW ENTERPRISES IN THE souru


That the South is up and doing is
evident to the most careless observer.
The hum of industry and the whir of
mac hinery, the smoke of the furnace
and the fires of the forge are familiar
sights and sounds in land that but
yesterday knew them not Toilers are
delving in deep mines and tunneling
into great mountains in search of the
mineral wealth Nature has hidden with
so lavish hand in that region.
Plain facts and unimpeachable figures
attest the industrial progress of the
South. For instance, the first three
months of 1890 show, according to the
Industrial Record of Atlanta, a total of
9O3 new industries established in South
ern States. Among them were 66 cotton
and woolen mills, - in Georgia and 10
each in North Carolina, South Carolina
Alabama and Texas, thop5i the latter
is nearly as much Western as a South
ern State. Fifty foundries and machine
shops and % iron blast furnaces were
established, chiefly in Tennessee, Ala
bama and Georgia. Mining companies,
pOtteries, cotton.seed oil mills, rolling
mills and woodworking shops are
among the other projects set on foot by
the hustling business men of the South.

DO They Desire Defeat2

There la pleased hystercal cuttering
among the Mugwumps and the free traders
because the Democratic State Conventions OF
Maine, Vermont, and Alabama have substan-
TALLY reiterated the platform Of defeat. We
advise the admirers OF that platform to
keep themselves In little longer. What
Vermont and Maine and other Repub-
lican States say Is OF no account in deter
mining the Democratic policy. The States
that do not contribute to tho Democratic
strength will do well to be modest about
making up the Democratic platform. On
the other hand, the States which, like Ala
bama, are surely Democratic must II they
desire the election OF a Democratic Presi-
dent In 1892, consult the wishes OF tho doubt

any Democrat upon any platform. Virginia
and West Virginia are liable 10 fall away
from the Democracy simply because they

for executive and judicial posts none OF
them having any possibility OF election. This
difficulty is evidently appreciated to Its full
extent by the more far-sighted Labor men.
1t is a most serious barrier in the way.
OF still greater Importance than this is the
fact that, by supporting separate Labor
candidates this year. the members Of the in
dustrial organizations, while doing no good
to their own cause, would make easier the
battle OF the Republicans This they will not
do. They understand that 1t is the Repub-
llcans who have obstinately prevented the
reapportionment of the State, which must be
the first step toward home rule government
In New York. The great body of the Labor
voters are Democrats, and separate political
action has been favored by them only when
professed Democratic leaders became un-
mindful Of the principles OF the party which
had the temporary misfortune to have such
men at its head. On such occasions Labor
revolt has been general and threatening. 1t
appeared as a Labor movement, but when
closely examined 1t was merely Democrats
asserting themselves. Until the State is reap
portioned, the issue against the Republicans
is perfectly clear; and there can be no mis-
taking tho attitude Of the great body Of
Labor voters, who are allied additionally
and by community OF aim and purpose with
the Democracy.
Under these circumstances any expecta-
ton on the part either Of Republicans or
reformers, Of a portentous Labor movement
against the integrity Of the Democratic
party, Is doomed to disappointment. Not
until the right OF the people to administer
their own affairs is restored to them, can
the votes OF Labor men be enlisted In the sup
port OF separate Labor candidates for the
Legislature. At present, that body Is the
Of the minority and not Of the
majority of the voting population. In no dis
tricts is the injustice Of the present division
felt more keenly than In those where the
Labor voters are most numerous.

OF course, the tract directed against The

who hold that man should be unjuhtly oppressed,
levied on, or vctimized
"who hold him bound. who has an honest advantage
in the struggle to use that advantage meroifully"
These are all good and sound precepts, but
they are not new. Mankind generally are
agreed that everybody ought to so act and
in no other way, and they have always been
OF that opinion. 1t was not necessary to get
up theosophy to lay down such principles OF
conduct. Christianity teaches them, and they
lie at the basis OF every religion and every
moral system Justice, truth, and honesty
do not need any new religious or philosophio
humbug to be generated for their defence.
They are supported by universal consent
and conviction. Human society would 60 to
pieces otherwise: and the progress OF the
race is simply the progress toward the APP
plication of these virtues and principles to
the actual intercourse and conditions Of men.
Yet the Theosophlsts announce them as
a discovery Of their own. as monopoly OF
which Nine. BLAvATsKY has given them
possession. They have become truisms
but her little band treasure them as
water from the well Of truth brought up for
the first time by their poor exertions.
Nine. BIAvATsKY is a clever old woman,
and none knows the difference between
folly and wisdom better than she. With her
keen sense OF fun, too. how much amuse-
ment she must get out OF these efforts Of
her followers to comprehend the tumble OF
philosophy she has concocted expressly for
their mystihcation!
