the best possible WY, apfopcr sense Of
his rights and responsibilities and it ele-
yates his character. Government is
something that should be lifted above the
inyidious work OF diving into such de-
tails and telling the individual what he
must not do, as If he were under age, or a
non conapos nsentis, or otherwise unit to
make his own contracts and conduct bis
OWL business.
This feature of the new constitution is
therefore doubly offensive because it not
only reflects upon mans business sagac-
ity and his ability TO take care of himself
but it is reactionary and brings US again
under the baleful influence of monarchi-
cal ideas against which our ancestors
successfully revolted and which are now
gradually being abandoned even by the
parental governments of Europe. Such
provisions are anachronisms; they do moi
belong to an enlightened period; they are
distractions in the progress of the
science Of government.
We can not see how Democrat can
vote for any constitution containing
them. They are unamerican and in open
conflict with some of the most cherished
and fundamental principles of our free
government.
But these with other clauses must re-
suit in practical and immediate injury
if adopted. They discourage the invest
ment Of foreign capital; they alarm home
capital; they are calculated to put a sud-
den stop to much of the material develop
ment that is just opening new era for
Kentucky and other Southern States; so
from o mere material standpoint they are
destructive and suicidal 1t is safe to say
that not mile of new railroad would be
constructed as long as the constitution
new mine would be opened or new fur
mace built The only hope would be in
amending it MS soon as possible; but why
not let the old constitution remain until
the new one is so amended that it may
command the approval of an enlightened
community instead Of being as it is a
bundle Of absurdities, deformed thing,
coming into life with "thc sardonic grin
of death already on its countcnance"
The news that De I4esscps is to be prosecu-
ted by the French Government because of his
relations with the Panama Canal, will not be
received with favor by those familiar with the
great engineers career and public services.
He conceived and carried through the Suez
Canal scheme which has proved Of incalculable
benefit to commerce, and his restless genius
projected other enterprises which would have
rendered him famous without that brilliant
achievement. He is now very old, broken in
spirit, and suffers more from his failure and
disappointment than any of those who put
their money in the enterprise. But large
number of the humber classes bought shares
in the Panama Company, and there is now a
loud clamor for the prosecution. 1t is sad TO
see a glorious life end in disappointment and
despair. 1t is sad too to observe how single
failure will obscure the splendid triumphs of
80 many years of labor and devotion. De
Lesseps deserves better of his country and of
mankind.

An Iron Cage for u Jail.

Tho Jail at Ocala, Fla, consists of a
big iron cage set in a room about twenty
feet square and ten feet high. The cage
is made OF fat bars of iron about three
inches wide, which run in both directions,
while the spaces between them are no
wider than the width of the bars. The
whole cage is about fifteen feet square
and seven feet high. 1t is divided into
little compartments, each less than
thirty inches wide and half the depth of
the cage. Each compartment holds two
prisoners. Two iron shelves, one above
the other, which at night are suspended
from top of the cage in each compart-
ment, serve as beds. When the beds arc
hung OF course they practically fill the
entire compartment. When visited the
other day twenty prisoners were con-
fined in this cage. Six Of them were
murderers awaiting trial. The swarm
ing cage looked like a torture-pen filled
with victims ready for some sacrifice.

buildings than any other, and where
light or delicate tracery is one of the
elements of good effect, or where ex-
terror outline becomes necessity, the
details of Moorish architecture supply
more originality in design than the
classics.
1t is peculiarly appropriate in the
construction of large apartments, such
as halls, theaters. and opera houses,
where elegance of decoration and light
ness Of material are desirable. The
adoption of the Moorish style for the
Casino, of New York, has made for it a
reputation unequaled by any other
building Of like character in this
country.
The Alhambra of Chicago, while not
copy of its great prototype of Gran
ada, is still suggestive Of its elegant
and striking outlines.
The location of this building, on the
corner Of Archer Avenue and State
street, has given the architect, Geo O..
Garnser, Editor of the National
Builder, an opportunity to carry out
the Moorish style to u perfection never
before attempted The size of this
structure, covering an entire square, its
many colored domes and towers, the
grand entrances from every avenue, its
clustered columns, pavilions and arches,
the auditorium, displaying in its finish
the delicacy of ornament and color SO
characteristic of the style, its tiers of
Moorish boxes and proscenium, marbles
and mosaics, fret work and draperies,
all combine to forcibly remind us of the
Alhambra SO graphically described by
Washington Irving.

Human Triumph Over !, Rat,

A fat rat tried to struggle through
the deep snow before the Castle Hotel
at One Hundred and Third street and
Tenth avenue the other day. A butchers
boy pursued it and caugh it up by the
tail. The rat tried to bite, and the boy
swung it rapidly round and round in his
effort to keep its teeth. clear of his
hand. Finally the rat began to claw
at the boys sleeve, and the boy, with o
parting swing, let the tail go. The rat
shot straight upward, struck on the
telegraph wires, and in some way got
the tip of it's tail inextricably caught in
one Of them.
There the rat hung struggling while
little crowd of men and boys from the
neighboring shops tried to bring it
down with snowballs. Finally q
butchers boy produced an air gun, and
after some twenty minutes sharp
shooting wounded the rat mortally in
the neck. All the rest of the day boys
snowballed the body, and little Skye
terrier in the fourth story of the hotel
made frantic attempts to jump through
the window to it. All efforts were vain,
and yesterday morning the rat still
hung as if glued to the wire, with q
crowd of gaping small boys under it,
and the frantic Skye terrier still claw
