A Lost City.

Mining prOspectOrs have recently been
hunting for the lost Adams mine and for
other dIggings OF reputed wealth and
uncertain location. Most practical min
ers believe these diggings never existed
save in the imagination OF gifted story
tellers; but the romances about them
pale into insignificance when compared
with the remarkable fictions concerning
the discovery of precious metals which
deluded the Old World in the sixteenth
century, when crowds of adventures
were swarming westward.
The strangest of these stories related to
enormous treasures existing somewhere
in equatorial South America. In the lat
ter part of that century the Old World
had not particle of doubt that there was
an area in eastern South America where
gold was as common as iron and copper
were in Europe. Walter Raleigh was
among the victims of this deiusion, and
he was one of the throng that descended
upon that part OF the New w orld in the
expectation of findiug the golden para
disc.
1t was in 1896 that Raleigh published a
highly colored story Of his Discovery of
the large, rich, and beautiful, Empire OF
Guiana" Most writers of the day were
led by Indian reports TO affirm that the
golden city of Manoa, upon the banks OF
OF Lake Parime, was TO ba found near the
Maroni River in what is now known as
French Guiana. Wherever it was.
Raleigh did not hesitate to inform Queen
Elizabeth that these reports were true.
Finally the Spaniard, Martinez, who had
a most brilliant imagination, declared
that he had spent nearly year in Manoa,
of which he gave an elaborate descrlp-
ton.
He said the city was of enormous size,
and its population almost innumcrable.
Not less than 3,00u workmen could be
seen at their daily toll in the principal
street. The Emporer's palace, built CT
white marble, ornamented with gold, oc-
cupled a beautiful island Three artific-
ial mountains enviroued the palace One
OF them was of solid golu, another of sill
yer, and the third OF salt, which was pro-
tected in some mysterious manner from
dissolution. The palace was supported
upon colnmns of alabaster and porphyry.
Around it were galleries of ebony and
cedar. the wood work lavisly inlaid with
gold and precious stones. Two towers
guarded the entrance. each twenty-five
feet in height, and surmounted by i'm
mense moons OF silver. Two living lions
were attached to the foot of the columns
by chains of gold. In. the palace was
large square, adorned with silver foun-
tains and vases. into which water ran
through four gold pipes. The King was
vas called Ell Dor9do. on account of the
splendor of his costume. Among the
mountains all around were inexhaustible
mines. the source OF this splendor. Eu-
ropean creduiity was strong enough TO
give life for years to such nonsensical
yarns; and probably no traveller in the

Was 1t a job?

A few months ago the republican pa
pers were boasting that congress had
crushed the Louisiana lottery aud similar
swindles of the kind by prohibiting such
concerns from using the United States
mails. Does any sensible person assert
to-day that the Louisiana or any other
established lottery has ceased business ON
account of the law referred to? The lot
teries are doing swimming business in
spite of the law, and the revenue the
government formerly received from the
sale of postage stamps has been diverted
to the express companies and the lotteries
continue to do business lust as though
nothing had happened.
1t is openly charged that the passage of
the bill in congress denying lotteries the
use of the United States mail was big
lob engineered in the interest of the ex-
pres : companies. This may not be true,
but the situation to-day iustities such
conclusion, as well as the corrupt record
Of the billion dollar congress. No evil
has been suppressed. The government
has sustained great loss of revenue and
the express companies are the beneficiar-
les. The people can draw their own con-
clusions. Jefferson City Tribune.

Of One of the Nest Faithful Wives.

John Churchill, afterwards the Duke
CT Marlborough, was native of Devon
shire, England. His wife was a Miss
Sarah Jennings, a wellbred and accom-
plished young lady, who had been for
years the youthful companion of the prin-
cess Anne. afterwards queen of England.
John Churchill proved, in his mature
erals of his time. and was rapidly promot-
ed both in the army and also on the civil
list. He rose to the highest pinnacle of
fame as the commander of the army of
the Netherlands. All through this long
absence his wife having attained to great
prestige at home, kept her husband well
advised of every important movement in
Parliament or the Councils of State.
Their marital relations were of the most
and happy kind, and lasted all
through life without the slightest inter-
ruption. He died at his splendid Palace
of Blenheim in the 72d year of his age.
His beloved Duchess outlived her hus-
band two and twenty years, during which
time she retained her still queenly graces
and much of the exquisite beauty and
loveliness of her former years. As con-
sequence, she was much admired during
her widowhood and had MANY solicita-
tions to again enter upon married life.
Among her most noted suitors were Lord
Covingsby. and alter him the noble Duke
of Somerset sought her hand. All of
these offers she most peremptorlly, but
in refined and delicate manner declined.
To the latter of these noblemen she gave
the following decided answer: ''IfIw.re

not permit even the Emperor OF the World,

of cotton ever made: a lot of fool farmers
have put it into warehouses and borrow
ed moEev on it. their money will soon
be due and they will have to sell. We
will get that cotton at our own price.
And this is just what they would have
done. And the farmer would realize
possibly about GO per cent. of what he
might have gotten months before. The
Southern Mercury might just as well
learn that legislatiLg g against the ineXor-
able laws of commerce is aS vain as max
ing laws against nature.
But if the farmers would not sell at the
low prices. but still hold the surplus. what
then? In the first place. they would have
interest and all the carrying charges to
pay for whole year, and then when the
next crop began to be marketed. the price
would be handicapped by a stock. say of
a million or more bales of old crop on
hand, and if the new crop was large. or
even a full one, the price would again be
forced down by the magnitude of the Wis
ible supply.
win the Mercury tell us whether this is
not all true?
We want better financial system; we
want more money and better prices for
our products; the Journal of Agriculture
advocated such policy and insisted upon
it, before the Mercnry was ever dreamed
OF: but let us be sure, when we enact
law that it will give Us what we want.
AS we have stated before. the wors: finan-
cial disaster that has ever come upon this
country has come from contraction of the
currency; then how will we avoid dis
aster if the currency is contracted every
year. r.-Journal of Agriculture.

Baccarat and Politics.

The baccarat scandal has brought grist
to the mills of both democrats and aristo-
Gratis IN England. The spectacle it has
presented of the heir apparent to the
throne travelling about the country with
cards and counters and opening q bank in
each country house that he visited IS one
of which the enemies Of royalty Will nat
ural,y make the most. On the other hand :,
conservatives will point to the social
prominence attained by the Wilson's, the
Lycett Greens and such newcomers, with
their vuigarizing and demoralizing asso-
Citations, as one of the effects of modern
democratic tendencies.
The universal interest in the baccarat
scandal is more than idle curiosity. 1t is
not that there is anything novel or sur
prising in tindir e royalty in lad compa-
nv. There have been very few kings of
England, and they not always the most
popular, who were models of virtue or
discretion in their private lives, and the
Prince of Wales is a much more reputable
gentleman than most of his immediate
predecessors. But the difference is that
i'm the elder day the loyal citizen did not
think that this was any of his business,
or, if he thought of it at all, he rather
liked little rakisbness.
1t is the long reign of Victoria, with
her demonstrative propriety, that has
mainly brought about the change that is
now apparent. When any daring radical
would suggest that the Queen was u
superfuity, there was always the answer
ready that "she is such good woman, :"
and the English have gradually come to
regard the institution of royalty AS in
some way bound up with domestic virtue
aud social security. The baccarat scan-
dal knocks the foundations from this
comfortable theory.
Small causes often lead to large results
and it is not TO be denied that the present
precarious attitude of royalty, all over
the world, is not helped by the baccarat
scandal. Princes might be as naughty
as they pleased as long as special divin-
ity did hedge them in But when they
are brought INTO court like ordinary men
and attacked by lawyers as the Solicitor
General attacked the Prince of Wales
yesterday, and people begin to talk of
them and think of them as no better than
common clay, they need all the strength
that an unassailable. character can give
to withstand the rising waves of democ-

Projections Pauper Pensioners.

The announcement that the direct boun-
ties paid from the Treasury to American
sugar producers will be between Sl2 2.000,-
600 and $15 200, 600 in the first year Ought
to excite Indignation at what is nothing
rc ore than an outright robbery of the peo-
pie. For this money is to be paid in pen
sions to men who have no shadow of
lust claim TO subsist on public bounty.
They are the cripples of thirty years of
High Tariff taxation, it is true, but this
gives them no title to public support as
the Paupers of Protection. III they can-
not carry on busint SIS without a pension,
justice demands that they should go into
some other business, or, if they are hope
less paupers, go to their county poor
farms, as doctors, lawyers, carpenters,
merchants. bricklayers, farmers, editors
and all Others who do not depend on the
public treasury of the United States would
be obliged to do under like circumstances.
Yet the direct pensions to these Paup-
er@ of Protection is far cheaper than the
indirect.
We have been raying out over $60,00o,-
900 year In increased prices of sugar
under the indirect system. If we buy off
by giving them pauper pension of $l5,-
600, 900 year, free trade in raw sugar
saves us $45, ,000, COO.
That is it would save it, had not the
tax Ill raw sugar been transferred instead
of released. Although we are to pay
these direct pauper pensions cn the theory
that we are getting rid OF the indirect
taxes on raw sugar, these taxes, instead
OF being abolished, have simply been
transferred to clothing, hardware, crock
cry. glass, tin-plate and hundreds of
other articles. This is one of the most
glarlng frauds of the most fraudulent tar
iff bill of modern times.
Nevertheless the superior cheapness of
the direct pauper pension is demonstrat-
ed. AS in the case Of sugar, so ic that OF
tn-plate, it would be many millions saw
ed for the American people TO put TIM
plate on the free list and give every mil
lionaire in the Tin Plate combine direct
