The United States Are Not Singular.

There was q time in the history of these
United States when there was Il good deal
of heated discussion as to whether thev
were singular or plural TO a good many
critical minded gentlemen it seemed that
the whole question whether we are a nation
or a mere confederation of states hung on
the decision of that point, and being ardent
advocates of the national theory they Were
very strenuous in insisting on the singular
form. In their eyes it was a little less than
reasonable to use the collective noun with
the plural form of the verb, to say the
United States are instead of the United
States lis"
As the point was not deemed by anybody
else worth quarreling over those who based
their claim of nationality on the assertion
of singularity had it all their own way;
but the question has row been decided by
an indubitable authority and against the
singulariSts. In a case recently argued
before the supreme court of the United
States, Justice Field referred with empEa-
sis and approval to the fact that the United
States in the constitution are spoken of in
the plural, citing the third section of arti
Gle 8, where it is declared that treason
levying war against them, or in adhering
to their" enemies. etc. He cites also as IA
still later authority in point of time the
declaration in the thirteenth amendment,
that neither slavery nor involuntary servi-
tude, except as a punishment for crime,
shall exist in the United States, or in any
place subject to their" jurisdNtion.-

Everything Grows In Circles.

1t is an inexplicable fact that all life
forms take the shape of circles. Everything
grows in that manner, and it leads one to
wonder why things don't grow square in
stead of round Why stems and leaves
should so conform is wonderful, and yet
that physical outlines of men and mani
mate objects should conform to the same
law is still more so. 1t almost compels US
to think of indefinite space as a circumfer-
ence after all All streams move in a por-
ton of circumference of course, as they
wind over the earth's surface, and lakes
have circular current that goes round and
round. But the most remarkable fact rela-
tive to the waters of nature is that the At
lantic ocean is a sort of whirlpool or is pos
sessed of circular current movement that
is SO large, however, and so long in the &C
complishment of one evolution that the fact
cannot be readily observed.
This gigantic maelstrom, which circles
about from pole to pole and between the
four continents, has a central point around
which it revolves. This point is now def
initely fixed as being but short distance
to the southwest of the Azores That point
has always been avoided by cautious mari
ners as dangerous and peculiarly squally.
When we see even the oceans waters con-
forming to the law of circumference, it very
nearly completes its meaning.-Interview

A New Profession For Useless Dudes.

The world is overpopulated with amiable,
good looking young men, highly educated,
healthy and wholly incapable of earning
their own livelihoods. No ingenuity can
provide berths for all of them, but some
might be employed as ''cutter out" This
is the new profession for which many of
these young men and women are adapted.
The duties of the cutter out are few, simple
and agreeable He or she has merely to
make love and to ride away. Thus, put the
case that some ones daughter, niece or, it
may be, favorite cousin has become engaged
to a man who is not liked or approved of by
the family To resist her choice is futile.
Opposition merely fans the flame of pas
sion. So you send note or telegram to
the central Office of the Society For the
Utilization of Johnnies, and they dispatch
a cutter out.
He is young, handsome, agreeable, per
haps lord or an honorable, a baronet very
likely. His duty may be explained in
word-he is to cut out the young lady's
affianced lover to make her out of conceit
with that disagreeable person, and then to
retire gracefully to some outlandish part
of the globe. The scheme is peculiarly val
liable to parents but any one may make
use of it. We see many nice girls throw
ing themselves away, Titanias marrying
Bottoms, clever and pretty women we'd
ding oats, louis, snobS or etioiated little
children of the modern spirit who rejoice
in cheap culture. In all these cases the
services of fine, manly cutter out may
be secured at "a comparatively moderate
outlay. There is of course the danger
that he may take his part too seriously, or
that the affianced damsel may take him
too seriously, but all this is matter for
arrangement and practical wisdom.-Lon

rbe Dattlecround of the azores.

In 1880 the Azores came under the power
of Spain, and in the history of the next &c
years their name is frequent as the favorite
battle-ground of the English and Spanish
fleets. The Partially was indeed mainly
on the side of the former and for a good
reason. These islands lay right in the track
of all vessels sailing to and from that en-
chanted region known to all men as the
Spanish Main.
On the highest peak of Terceira, whence
in clear weather the sea could be scanned
for leagues around, were raised two col
umns, and by them a man watched night
and day. When he saw any sails approach
ing from the west, he set flag upon the
western column-one for each sail If they
came from the east, a similar sign was set
on the eastern column.
Hither in those days came up out of the
mysterious western seas the great argosies
laden with gold and silver and jewels, with
silks and spices and rare woods, wrung at
the cost of thousands of harmless lives and
cruelties unspeakable from the fair lands
which lie between the waters of the Carib-
bean sea and the giant wall of the Andes.
And hither, when England, too began to
turn her eyes to Ell Dorado, came the great
war galleons of Spain and Portugal to
meet these precious cargoes and convey
them safe into Lisbon or Cadiz before those
terrible English sea wolves could get scent

Fccentricity Easily Pardoned.

honesty and remarkably generous to the

cunisry profit Indeed, whenever his
own interests were at stake, he
showed himself capable of political
villalny, although this was always
tempered by calculation. * 4 4 He
had comprehended that the art of
politics depended rather upon indi-
viduals than institutions, and that he
who ruled men could also dictate
laws"
Of Lorenzo de Medici, our author
observes: "The more oppressive his
government, the more did he seek to
incite the public to festivities and lull
it to slumber by sensual enjoyment.
His immortality was scsndslous. He
kept an army of spies, and meddled
with the citizens most private Of
fairs"
No one reading Professor Villsrl's
mastery paper will fail to be i'm
pressed with the striking similarity
of the action pursued by the Medi-
clan family and the banking frater-
nifty of our time. And as Florence
ceased to be a republic without los
ing her republican form of govern
ment, so our nation is threatened with
q similar fate. But it is not a single
family we have to cope with; it is an
composed of bankers and
usurers, aided by the gold barons
of Europe. That they are acting
in concert and for the absolute
destruction of the rights of the
millions, we have only to run over
the history of our nation for the last
twenty-five years. Silver was de-
monetized. An almost fatal blow
was then dealt to the prosperity of
our people. The people, in a blind
way, rebelled. What was the result?
One by one, statesmen and newspa-
pers came to see through the specta-
cIes of Baron Rothschild and the
gambling fraternity of Wall street.
Finally, the secretaries Of the treas
ury, no longer statesmen or far
sighted patriots, got into the habit of
going regularly to the pillsgers of ma
tionsl and industrial prosperity-the
usurer and gambler of Wall street
for counsel and advice. Such a
shameful course would never have
been tolerated under a Jackson or q
Jefferson.
***
The gravity of the present situa-
tion will be appreciated if we remem-
ber the immense wealth controlled by
those interested in decreasing the
volume of money of ultimate redemp-
ton. And in order to impress this
fact, l wish to call your attention to
an exceedingly valuable statement of
the condition of the New York banks.
~
Almost two weeks ago the New
York World published an elaborate
article on the banks of that city,
showing their exact condition as to
stock, surplus, etc. From this table
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-08-09

conspiracy which seems to have been passed
here and in Europe to destroy, by legisla-
tion and otherwise, from three-sevenths to
one-half of the metallic money Of the
world, is the most gigantic crime Of this or
any other age.
To-day this same John G. Carlisle
is Clevelsnd's gold-bug secretary of
the treasury, and with John Sherman
and Grover Cleveland is working
with all his mightto consummate "the
most gigantic crime of this or any
other age"
Xxx
Speaking of John Sherman reminds
me Of what he said before this mod
ern leopard had shown the world how
easily he could change his spots. In
1869, Senator Sherman said:
The contraction of the currency is far
more distressing operation than senators
suppose. Il is not possible to take the
voyage without the sorest distress. To
every person, except the capitalist out of
debt, a sslaried official, or an annuitsnt, il
is period Of loss, danger, lsssitude Of trade,
fall Of wages, suspension of enterprise,
bankruptcy and disaster. IL means ruin to
all dealers whose debts are twice their bust
ness capital, though one-thlrd less than
their actual property.
Now Sherman, the republican, has
volunteered to unite with the present
democratic gold-bug administration
in order to further contract the VOL
ume of currency.

In Judge for July 20, I find a very
significant editorial. 1t states that
Russell Sage ''ls said to have made
$4,000 a day for several days
recently on collateral loans" 1t
is calculated by one authority
that he got interest at the rate
of from so to 73 per cent, and
there is no law against usury which
can touch Wall street. 1T is not
surprising, then," continues the edi-
torisl in this stsunch republican pa
per, "thst Brother Sage should have
used the young man Lsidlsw as a
protection against bombs. The only
wonder is that he doesn't manage to
have a dozen more or less competent
young men about him every hour of
every day"
This is an editorial from Judge. Is
| it not amazing that a republic toler-
stes such crime, while, through the
same conspiracy which gives these
Shylocks such opportunities to plum
der, hundreds of thousands of hon.
est and industrious men are thrown
out of work penniless and starving.
And yet Russell Sage is called one
of Americas great finsnciers. John
