THE pLuTocRATsc RAD GALS.
szeasnres for the Perpetnation OF Sectional
Strife


Mr.. Edmunds, Of Vermont, is the gem
tleman who 80 recently showed his sim
cc-s regard for the welfare Of the coun-
try by securing two cents q pound on
uaple sugar from the Treasury for the
sap-boilcrs IF that State. Mr.. Hoar, OF
Massachusetts,, is Senator who during
q long legislative experience has never
failed to use all the power of his intel
lect to serve the ends Of the Northeast
ern Commune of Capital" Mr.. Chand-
Ter, Of New Hampshire, is as subseryi-
emit tool of plutocracy as is Mr.. Hoar,
and he has moreover q record in connec-
ton with the worst period of jobbery in
the navy which has fixed his moral
status so that no one is at all in doubt
concerning it.
These three men constitute the tri-
umvirate which is attempting to coerce
the Senate into passing the Davenport
force bill, under which elections are to
be controlled by District OF Columbia
returning boards, backed by bayonets.
Behind this bill is ssthe American Pro-
tective Tariff League" the association
OF monopoIists organized to furnish the
fat fund Of 1888 and to control money
and supply through Federal Legislation.
It is because of this demand for the
bill that Messrs Hoar, Chandler and
Edmunds are so determined on its pas
sage. A strong sentiment has grown.
up in the West against Northeastern
control of money, and the agricultural
States of the South -sympatliize
with it, while in the South
from year to year there is grow
ing up a stronger competition in
manufactured goods with the North
will be more and cheaper goods in the
market and more money to buy them
with. The tariff prevents the agricult-
ural States from buying outside the
country, and the plutocratic States of
the Northeast have in so much mo-
nopoly. But the tariff can not be used
to prevent Georgia, Alabama and Ten-
nessee from manufacturing their own
cotton and other raw materials in COM
petition with the plutecratic States.
The only method by which this over
production" as the Northeastern trusts
call every thing which cheapeps the
necessaries of life, can be prevented is
by reviving the old sectional quarrel on
the line of manufactured race issue.
The plutocratic radicals are attempting
to do that for the South, while at the
same time they are trying to keep
money and supply, controlled against
the West.k When every thing else fails
them, when the. West rises in tre-
mendous revolt against them, it only
makes them the more desperate and the
more determined on returning board
and beyonet. Only through such means
can plutocracy maintain the control it
has usurped over q free peopie.-St.
Louis Republic.

HISTORIC SCROLL OF EGYPT.
Ancient and Modern Types of the Land OF
the Pharaoha.

Ancient and Modern Types Of the Land of
the Pharaohs.
The chronicles of Egypt are written
on a scroll of such vast proportions
that we often fail to realize them as
continuous record. Egypt is referred
to as Ptolemaic, Roman, Arab, ETC., as
If the racial characteristics changed
with the various dynasties. But the
ancient race, the veritable descendants
of the builders of the pyramids, still
exists. Compare the Sheikh-el-beled of
the Ghizeh Museum, the small basalt
head lately acquired by the Louvre,
and the Scribe" of the same collection
with the crowd at the weekly market
of any Nile town and the resemblance
is unmistakable. The types are identi-
cal. And, moreover, there are no signs
of physical degeneration in these sol
idly built fellaheen; while, on the other
hand, the Arabs and Turks of the cities
display all the indications associated
with effete and worn-out races. In cir
cumstances like these, who can doubt
that when despotic government is alb
rogated, as it is at present, the more
virile and tenacious stock will again as
sert its ascendency?
The historians of ancient Egypt re-
cord gap of more than five hundred
years between the twelfth and eigh-
teenth dynasties, during which the
Hyksos or Shepherd Kings ruled at
Memphis. In modern times Egypt has
had her Hyksos period, which has lasted
from the date of the Arab invasion until
our own day. She finds herself after
these twelve centuries of oppression
under the protection of people that
has not unsuccessfully coned with the
evils of misrule in other parts of the
East. Who shall say what lies hidden
in the womb of the future? But the be-
lief may be permitted that the race
that, as far as it is known, established
the earliest civilization, that after every
invasion has lived down its conquerors,
and which is still found stubbornly
clinging to the soil, will not utterly
perish. Nay, rather, the hope may be
cherished that Egypt is on the eve OF
another new birth. Whatever our share
in her future regeneration, one dAty
stands clear and simple--that the re-
mains of the heirlooms of her glorious
past suffer neither damage nor decay
from our negligence or criminal indif-
ference.-The Nineteenth Century.

What the Close Of the Year 1900 Has
Revealed.

The record OF the Republican party
for 1890 is one that the party would
gladly expunge from its annals. II
commences with the dictatorship Of
Speaker Reed in the National House
of Representatives, and closes with q
desperate and insane effort in the Sem
ate TO impose upon free people bayo.
net rule at elections. The proceedings
of the Republican majority in Congress
have been characterized by usurpation
of the most reckless description, disre-
gard for the choice of the people by
unseating legally elected Senators and
Representatives, shameless extrava-
gance to the extent of seriously en-
barrassing the Treasury, the passage Of
bill outlawing importers, and the In.
famous tariff bill, which has caused
such disastrous disturbances in the
channels of business, the exposure of
frauds in Government departments, the
attempt to place the force bill, the sub
sidy bill and highly dangerous finan-
cial bill on the statute books.
The year 1890 Is also memorable for
the grand uprising Of the American
people on the fourth Of November,
which almost annihilated the Republic
an party, and taught political despera-
does that there was power unsafe to
defy. Quay, Plat, Mckinley, Reed and
all the bosses that strutted so insolente
ly and confidently on the political
boards for the first ten months of the
year, are now objects ef-centempt and
derision. In American politics, there
fore, it may be SEEM that 1890 was a
most notable year. The Mckinley tar
iff law has had the immediate effect OF
increasing prices and cutting down
wages, of stimulating the creation OF
trusts and adding to the long list OF
business failures. The close of the year
found the Secretary of the Treasury in
dazed condition Of mind as to the out
come of the financial situation, and Re
publican fnanciers in Congress tinker
ing with a bill that is likely to-cempli-
cate the situation still more. 1t was,
indeed, very ominous year for the
party and Administration that entered
upon it with such confidence and in high
spirits.-Albany Argus.

district, writes correspondent. / was
experimenting the cutting OF ''plant-
ing road through dense swamp Jungle,
when heard great hubbub com
pounded of shouting and laughing of
men and chattering of monkeys.
On arriving at the spot / found a
crowd Of coolies, Chinese, Killings and
Malays looking up into lofty damar
tree, in the branches of which about a
dozen of the common black macaque
monkeys were leaping about in great
excitement, while one Of their number,
who appeared in some way to be fixed
to the trunk of the tree, was uttering
the most doleful cries.
+ What had happened to him was at
once apparent. He had cspied the
entrance to q tempting-looking cavity,
which he rightly judged to cortainieggs
or nestlings, and at once inserted an
exploring paw. Unluckily for him the
nest was that of hornbill and the
lady OF the house being at home, the
would-be burglar was in most I'M
pleasant sense brought mp before the
beak."
None of the other monkeys, who had
by this time increased to about twenty,
attempted to go to his assistance, but
contented themselves with raising a
chorus Of yells which, joined to those
of the delighted coolies, were perfectly
desffening. Suddenly there was rush
ing sound overhead and the male bird
returned. Taking In the situation at
once, he made straight for the tree and
seizing the prisoner by the hind leg in
his huge mandibles, gave such q tug at
1t that the next instant bird and mon
key came headlong down; but while
the former let 60 his hold and fiew up,
the latter fell with d sounding thump on
the rad and there lay.
A Chinaman, on monkey-stew intent,
laid hold of hun; but the animal recov-
ering himself, made his teeth meet In
mis- captor's leg, who thereupon added
his howls to the general uproar. Tho.
male bird sat guard outside the nest for
about an hour, when the monkeys, hav-
ing exhausted their stock Of abuse,
gradually dispersed and the original
cause Of the riot went 10 pot the
same evening. n. X. JoDrnal.

A wise commander may pardon the

animal spirits, and ambitious to dis

But he will frown upon the veteran
whose wantonness of courage makes
him foolhardy, when duty does not
oblige him to expose himself Baron
Malortie tells of Waterloo veteran, q
Colonel Volger, who did a very foolish
thing in the first Holstein campaign.
On the day before the storming of
Duppel, he was on duty in the trenches.
The gallant Danes who defended Dup
pei shot SO accurately that no Prussian
dared look over the earthworks. Sud-
denly, to the astonishment of his Of
ficers, Colonel volger- was seen riding
his old gray mare up and down in front
of the earthworks, amid shower of
bullets.
Thinking he had gone to inspect the
outposts, no one ventured to make re-
mark. But when he passed for the
third time the place where the officers
had congregated behind the breast
works, the Senior Captain stepped out
and called tire Colonel's attention to his
needless exposure, and entreated him
not to court death in this reckless man
ner. The Colonel grinned. thanked the
captain for his warning, and then ex-
planned his conduct.
