Auacorfes Pro1ress: "Washington has surely
an option on fair, warm and spring weather, in
the winter month of December. The soft balmy
air has the freshness Of June In the morning,
and as one inhales 1t. 1t gives life and tone to
the system, and coaxes the lazy feeling of spring
into our occupations. The Billiards and icy
chill of the winters blast have driven people 70

here the bloom of vegetation and luxuriant
grass are sharing the warm zephyrs with q
favored humanity"

Wilbur Register: aThe attention of the tax

ENGLISH DEMOCRACY AND AMERl-
CAN PLUT0cRACY.

Every year we shall become more
democratic. The monarchy, shorn
of it's wasteful and expensive tom.
fooleries, will continue. The aristoc.
racy, as political leaders and as
hereditary legislators, will disappear.
The established church will be de-
prived of its endowments, which will
be devoted to purposes OF education.
Our great landlords will, by the
effect of natural laws, be improved
off the face of the country, and the
occupier uf laid will to all intents
and purposes become its owner.
Taxation will be apportioned as
shoulders are best able to bear it.
Education will be free and its scope
enlarged. All privileges that are
due to the law will be swept away.
The social lines of demarkatOn be.
tween classes will be less sharply
defined. Economy will replace ex.
travagance in our public depart
ments. Sinecures and excessive
salaries will no longer exist. Our
foreign policy will be modelled on
that Of the United States. In our
villages, village councils will replace
the rule of the squire and of the
parson. There Will he fewer very
rich men in the land, and fewer
very poor men. Ireland will have
her own parliament, and her own
executive, paramount in all local
matters, and will become source
OF strength, and no longer of weak
ness, to the empire. This will prOba-
bly, be followed by general federal
ization of the United Kingdom.
England, Wales, and Scotland will
each have, like Ireland, a local
parliament, and an imperial senate
will replace our present Lords and
Commons.
Greatly as we admire the Consti
luton Of the United States, we de-
plore the excessive influence Of th,
hutocracy in that country. w.
shall do our best to prevent an aris
tocracy of money replacing an arts
tocracy of birth and Henry

The London Standard notes the
arrival of Barnum's great show, and
places Barnum at the head of the
show business. 1t says that large
shows in Europe cannot travel on
railroads, the bridges being too low,
and cannot give the street parades
so popular in America, because of
the crowded cities in Europe. 1t ex-
tends to Barnum a hearty welcome.

A CHEAP FORM OF BOMB.


John B. King has worked along another
line and produced bombs ss efficient as and
much cheaper than has Most. One is made
from package Of toy torpedoes. The saw
dust and torpedoes removed and the coarse
paper bag reflled by pouring in little loose
dynamite, packing it down, placing on top q
few torpedoes in a layer, then adding an
other layer Of dynamite, aud so proceeding
until the package is filed. Simpler is the
method Of filling the package with loose
dynamite to within an inch of the top and
filing the space with toy torpedoes Similar
TO these two expedients is the use Of the paper
bags employed by grocers. cotton and wooden
bags, old pockets, tomato cans, lunch pals,
wine and beer bottles, tea and coffee pots or
any familiar domestic article which viii hold
the loose dynamite and the igniting torpedoes
without the risk of spilling.
King says: "The two chief considerations
in yaluing dynamite bombs is their cheap
ness and unsuspiciousness Mine can be
made In the kitchen of tenement house by
the most ignorant stevedore at cost OF less
than thirty-five cents, and can be safely car
ried around for months in the guise Of the
dinner pail of the horny handed son Of toll
without exciting policeman" Strange to
