Portugal, France, and Holland have been
driven In turn from their trading settlements
aud colonies In America, Asia, Africa, and the
islands Of the sea that the sphere of Englsh
influence might be extended and English trade
increased. Russia In Asia and the United
States In the Western Hemisphere now
threaten English influence and imperil Eng
lish trade. Hence her hatred of the one and
opposition to the other.
England's hand Is TO be seen in the Chilian
imbrogllo. She has interests there The nitrate
beds are being worked for English profit.
She fears that we will, II left alone, replace
her In the Chilian markets. So she pats
the trate Gillian on the back and tells
him to sail In, while to us she pooh-poohs the
affair and says: AREN'T you ashamed to
whip = little fellow like thatl' And the ex.
asperating part Of 1t is that there are people
here who echo her wordsl
The papers In New York City which claim
to be independent are the Herald the Times,
the Post, and Harpe,'s Weekly, the three last
being classed as mugwump. In the late cam
palgn the Times supported Flower, the Herald
and the Post supported nobody, while Har-
per's Weekly supported Fassett. In his post
election allocution in the Brooklyn Standard
Union Field Marshal Halstead declares that
''the only alleged independent paper that
through the late campaign was truly indepen-
dent was Hdrpe,'s Weckly.n Another remarka-
BILE proof that orthodoxy is my doxy and
hetercdoxy is your doxy.
The Russian newspapers are telling story
about the discovery Of a remark able under
ground town In Russian Turkestan num-
ber Of large caves near the Bokharan town of
harkt, the story goes, were explored and
found to lead to this underground town, built
apparently before the Christian era. Effigies
and inscriptions have been found, and also
designs upon gold and silver money which
lead to the belief that the town dates back to
some two centuries before the birth of Christ.
There are number of streets and squares sur
rounded by houses two and three stories high
Urns, vases, cooking pots, and other utensils
have been found In great abundance. The
symmetry OF the streets and squares and the
beauty of the baked clay and metal utensils
attest the fact that the people had reached an
advanced stage of civilization 1t is supposed
the town was concealed in the earth TO give
the population a refuge from the incursions of
savages and robbers. Until this story ap-
peared there was no occasion to believe that
Mr.. Joseph Mulhatton or Colonel Thomas
Porterhouse Ochltree were waiting for the
Russian papers.
When man pictures the angels he repre-
sents them as females. ! wonder whether the
women picture the angels as men. Why not
They know women are not angels.
Among the visiting statesmen the Press
Club contributed to the contest last Tuesday
was Charley Hamilton, chairman of the
House Committee He voted in Buffalo.
Early in the campaign Charley had backed his
opinion that Fassett would win by sundry
small wagers. When he arrived in Buffalo
and looked around he changed his mind He
then began hedging by betting that Ohio
would go Republican. He wagered 10 to
with Jealous Democrat. After the cash was
up the latter said:
''Oi don't know anything about Ohio. Oi
only bet to incoorage me partly. Misther
Hamilton, won't yez PLACE tell me who me
partly is a-runnin' for Gov'ner In Ohio?n He
knows now. DIoGENBs JONES.
