BOHEMIA SUFFERS 1NGRAT1TUDE.
Tho Czech Kingdom That Saved Austria
From Subjec Is Ill Treated,

Ino czech Kingdom That Saved Austria
From Suhjection Is Ill Treated.
PRAGUE, July H.-This is the twenty-sixth
anniversary of the battle of Sadowa the day
when old Austria, holding under her rule
the Kingdoms of Hungary and Bohemia and
hereditary dukedoms of the Hapsburgs, was
forced to relax her grasp of absolutims. In
dependent Hungary and united Germany
rose from the battlefield, and the leading
statesmen of both these empires managed
things so well that even what was left of the
old Austria has been made subservient to
the political and economical interest of their
countries.
AS yet it was only the resistance of the
Czech nation that prevented Austria from
becoming mere dependency of Prussia, in
the same sense as Bavaria and other Ger
man countries have been made provinces of
revival OF the old United Kingdom Of
Bohemia, within the boundaries of Austria,
can avert similar danger in time to come.
Some years ago the Emperor felt that,
promising the Diet of Bohemia to confirm
and renew all the powerss, right and titles of
the Kingdom by allowing himself to be
crowned in Prague in the same manner as
he has been crowned in Pesth. Such prom
iseS, although duly forgotten in Vienna, re-
manned deeply rooted in the mind of the
Czech nation, and on his late visit to Moravia
the Emperor was reminded of them by a
simple peasant who, having been addressed
mind, saying: "Sire, we shall be happy under
your rule If you will become our crowned
king" The Emperor turned away without
word. Here, too, in the capital of Moravia,
and under the very eyes of the Emperor
the royal colors and emblems of the King
dom of Bohemia have been torn down by
the police. Strange to say, even this insult
they bore silently in high quarters, though
it was q direct attack upon the rightful title
of the king himself, title by which laws
are still promulgated, treaties made, money
coined, etc. But to hurt the feelings Of mill
ions of faithful subjects is counted less than
to provoke q frown in Berlin.

HE SAW A SEA SERPENT.
1t Was Over 80 Feet Long and Lashed the
Waters Of Lake Erie.

Waters of Lake Erie.
Toledo Commercial.l
On Wednesday of this week, while the
schooner Madeline Downing was on her way
up Lake Erie to this port when about l6
miles above the Dummy, Captain Woods saw,
about quarter of mile forward of his boat,
the waters of the lake for q space of about 20
feet being lashed into foam. His curiosity
being aroused, he kept a close watch on the
water, and when the Downing neared it to
his utter surprise he saw an immense snake,
which he calculates was from 80 to 80 feet
long, which was not less than 50 inches in
circumference of body. Its head was pro-
jecting from the water for about four feet
and as it lashed the water it curved from
head to tail, some of the body showing above
the water, while the remainder was be-
meath it.
He says it was a terrible looking object,
1t had viciously sparkling eyes and very
large head. Fins were plainly seen, SEEM
ingly sufficiently large to assist the snake in
propelling itself through the water The
body WAS dark brown in color, which was
uniform all along. From that which he saws
it would be capable of crushing a yawl boat
and its occupants. As the vessel passed on
her course, the snake was seen disportinp
itself on the lake. Captain Woods has here
tofore considered sea serpent stories huge
jokes, but he is now a firm believer that the
sea serpent is not a myth. At the time he
saw it the lake was calm, and there could
have been no mistake In recognizing the OBJ
feet.

is marked at this point Instead of
maintaining competition to keep down
prices, he at once marked up prices at
San Francisco to 5H cents, or &c more
than the Trust prices As this put the
price SO high as to attract importations,
Mr.. Spreckels calls upon Congress to pro-
tect the combination by imposing an ad-
ditional discriminating duty of 2 cents
per pound. The contrast between the
Spreckels of 1888 and the Spreckels OF
1892 could hardly be more complete.
This expression of the conviction OF the
sugar monopollsts that it is the duty OF the
Government to levy additional duties, in
order to aid them in sustaining exorbitant
prices, is more likely to have the effect OF
securing the abolition of the existing half
cent duty on refined sugar.

This is the complaint made by Andrew

THE new registration of Mississippi
under the constitutional provision requir-
ing an educational qualification reduces the
colored vote to very small proportion of
the total. The total is very much reduced
being about 900, against a total vote in
lsSs of ll5 900. The exclusion of ignorant
voters by an educational qualification is
quite justifiable ffimpartially administered.
But there is a possible question whether
the ignorant whites are subjected to the
test as vigorously as the ignorant blacks.
