IVORY, NOT PBILAN IHROPY.

The Stanley Barttelot affair has
stirred old England from center to
circumference. John Bull preteuds to
be i'll q mighty rage over the mercenary
and barbarous features of The Emn Re-
lief expedition. Poor Bull! One would
conclude from his Tuning and suffering
over the affair that an indplible stain
had been put upon his character; that
humanity and God fearing sauctity and
holiness had been cruelty and shamefully
wounded, lacerated and torn. There is
not perhaps west of St. Georges nor
south OF the English channel, reasoning
creature alive who felt the slightest sur
prise whatever at hearing that the
object OF the relief expedition under Mr..
Stanley was the capture OF great
quantities of ivory AMI the acquisition
b. conquest OF wide areas OF African
territory, and not the rescue OF Mr..
Emin SchnitZer, whose fate and fortunes
Sir William Mckinnou probably cared Us
little aDont Us he does about Web Fluna-
gan $ duh thud. Yet John Bull appears
to be not only surprised but Disguised at
h.nring that noodle and not humanity
was the object. Dear old Bull, what
confding, generous and unseitish
heart he has! He roars with
pain and anger, because few English
men tried to make deal by getting hold
of lot of valuable ivory hid away-as
they thought-in the interior of Africa.
1t was sordij and merceuary, he says,
and therefore disgraceful.
But 1t was only very few months ago
that John himself bullied and bluffed
poor little Portugal In the most cowardly
manner for insisting on prior right to a

slice OF African territory that Bull
wanted aud could take by pure dint Of
force. John has been for some time di-
viding up African territory between the
German kaiser and himself. How will
he reconcile the apparent Inconsistency Of
his own conduct in this particular with
his high sounding professions Of disgust
al the mercenary character OF the relief
expedition? Easily enough, dear reader.
Bull makes a conquest of the heather in
order to civilizs and Christianize him;
for that purpose he will flood the land
with missionaries aud muskets, and as
fast as possible the good work of spread
ing the light will go on. There is moth
ing sordid or mean about Bull. Oh, no!
At least he would not waste time huck-
tering over lot of elephant tusks while
pretending to play the philauthropist and
humanitarian.

THE "PEtIPROCI7Y'' CLAUSE OF

A Washington special to the St. Louis
Globe Democrat lets the cat out of the
bag. 1t is now conceded, says the
writer, that the reciprocity clause of
the Mckinley bill authorizing the presi-
dent to make certain concessions TO for
eign powers in the matter OF tariff duties
in consideration Of similar favors from
them, is utterly "impracticable,
sstemrorary maktshft,' and probably
unconstitutional. That Mr.. Blaine him.
self shares this view of It is evident
from the alleged fact that he is now
busy negotiating commercial treaties
with South American governments for
the purpose of promoting trade with
thpm. The Brazilian minister has al
ready dispatched to his government the
form of treaty between him.
self and the secretary of state. The
further fact is announced that when
Mr.. Blaine's reciprocity amendment
was discussed last summer before the
Latin American conference, it was re-
garded by the delegates as worthless,
and by none more so than by Gen. John
b. Henderson, head of the conference
on the Part of the United Sta es. Mr..
Blaine was then given to understand that
his scheme of reciprocity was valueless,
and far from what the situation de-
mauded OF course he recognized that
fact himself, but insisted, all the same,
that ii should be clapped astrlde the Me
Kinley bill, like monkey on circus

4 GAY HLNDRJST,

John Sherman is developing marked
traits of the humorist IN his old days.
An evidence OF it is the statement that
Republican defeat at the polls Novem-
Der 4 is largely responsible for the re-
cent furry in stocks and financial strin-
geucY in money ceuters. He does not
trace the connection between the two,
as il is not the business OF the humorist
to aDRlyze or verify his facts. or course
we are to understand that all good IS
from the Republican party, aud that
when II gets rickety or windshsken, the
bottom is sure TO drop out of things.
Very good John. but what ais the En-
gl:sh? Why are they in financial stress!
Why are the Burings in the nine hol'
almost? But Us asking questions like
this spoils somewhat the effect of
Icicle Johns humor, we forbear. II
would be pity to discourage the
sprightly sallies of one, who in the sere
and yellow leaf, displays such a pretty
wit in discussing matters of grave i'm
port. If the old gentleman can keep up
that lick he may, like Bill Nye, get
job as humorous writer on a newspaper
when some Ohio Democrat turns him
down in race for the senate.
