AN EGYPTIAN INCIDENT.

SIN going to put an end to this Egyptian
plague growled Colonel MACPHERSON.
"We come here every winter, sail up the
same old river, look at the same old pyra-
mids-no modern additions or improve

images that have worn the same grotesque
aspect for fifty centuries, and broil on the
same uncomfortable decks, and all because

ACTIVITY IN POLITICS.

Thus early the political horizon begins
to assume decidedly interesting aspect.
The chances are that the approaching
presidential contest as we'll as the cam
paign in many of the so-called doubtful
states will be the most animated since
the stirring times OF 1910, when Tippe-
canoe Harrison "and Tyler, too" shook
the union from center to circumference
Unusual activity is to-day noticeable
among the big political guns of the nation
around whom the presidential bee buzzes
loudest, while state politicians also seem
to have caught the infection. President
Harrison's friends are known to be active,
but proceed upon the quiet order, after
the methods of their leader, methods, too,
that are characteristic of the man and ad-
mirably becoming to the exalted position
he so ably fills. Mr.. Blaine's present at
titude yet remains in doubt; he also has
adopted the closed-mouth system, but his
friends can't keep quiet. There is some
thing about this statesman's very name
that seems to inspire enthusiasm among
the masses. Judge Gresham's friends
are beginning to be heard from also,
while on the Democratic side Hill is play
ing the still-hunt, but working hard to
have the next Democratic national con-
venton held in his strong bold, Tammany
hall, or at San Francisco, where he thinks
his corrupt methods can best be worked.
AS for Cleveland he occupies the front
row on the political anxious seat. He
and his hackers are in regular pickle,
and have been ever since he wrote that
scathing anti-silver letter at the dictation
of Brice, German and other eastern gold
sharks, but it appears that they will as
sumo a brazen front and do their best to
make capital for Cleveland during the
coming year.
Among the states that are also display
ing unusual political activity at this time
are Ohio, when the gubernatorial contest
opened YESTERDAY and will "lnaa hp tho
nomination of that conscientious Re-
publican standard bearer, Major Nc
Kinley; also Indiana, New York, Penn
sylvania, Kentucky and Wisconsin.
The local press in those states is
simply bristling with campaign fore
runners these days, while in Illinois the
campaign is said to have already opened,
and in Kansas the past year has been one
OF unprecedented political movement
which has lost none of it's momentum Of
late from the fact that the subordinate
lodges of the Farmers Alliance have pro-
nounced against the third party scheme
