POWDERLY As A SOCIALIST.

n Socialist and in favor Of the General
Government taking possession OF all the
railroads and telegraph lines in the coun-
try. that they may be held for the free use
of all the people of the United States.

What is the connecting link betw zen

eral demands? The demands Of these two
sets of men are paternalism run mad. We
see no reason why they should limit their
claims to Governmental construction and
ownership of railroads and telegraph
lines. as on their premises the Govern
ment should own everything-the bakeries.

MUMMIES IN n GAZE.
Four Toltecs Who Lived In New Mexico
Over 500 Years Ago.

The best and rarest Of the curiosities at
the State Mining Bureaus Museum are to
be on exhibition at the Mechanics FAR,
and amcng them are many thirgs which
have been seen by comparatively 1cW'
Soma valuable rev features are also 10 DC
included. There is the American mummy
family, surprising IT. interest the Eg 'pt-
ian mummies, t,cause the bodies them
selves, In remarkable preservation, are
shown, and the beholder does not nave
TO exercise his imagir alton on discoiored
cloth and painted wood.
The American mummies are Toltecs, TIE
race that preceded the Aztecs ana once
INHABITED Mexico, and, as near as can
be scientifically calculated, they died iVo
years before Columbus discovered tne
land in which they were buried. Inc
family consists of four, man. woman
and two children. All will be shown IN
the sitting pastures exactly as they were
fourd.
The bodies we're discovered In cave
ligh I'D In the mountains Of New Mexico,
about 200 miles from Deming. They had
been placed there fully 500 years ago
probably for protection against some
enemy. and the entrance 10 the cave had
been sealed with sun-dried adobe bricks
and natural rocks. cemented together with
Adobe plaster. The mummihed bodies. OF
the male and female were found seated
side by side, facing towards the east, as
WAS the ancient burial custom. A seven
year-old boy was at the right of the
fftker and a girl OF probably two years
was at the left of the mother.
No embalming process had been used,
and the pctrifaction was entirely due to
the drying action in that high and air
tight cave. The skeletons are wonderfully
well preserved, and the muscles. nerves
and tendons, with the various internal
organs, all remain. The skin OF the faces
may even be seen, and on the head Of the
woman is yet her splendid growth Of fine
dark brown hair. The clothing remains,
though not intact. The mans garment
was Of some rough material that looked
like dried grass plated The woman was
dressed in woven cloth, and. true to her
sex, she had the larger child clad I'm a
finer fabric, while about the baby was a
robe Of fur. Eight centuries have passed.
and the Toltecs are going to the Me-
chanics' Fair.

The War PLAY.

The Richmond Times enters strong
protest against the stuff that Is palmed
off on the public in the form of those
plays which pretend to represent events
and scenes in the South during the civil
war. The Times is right. OF all the
tawdry stuff and worthless rubbish that
one sees on the stage these days about
the worst is the war play.
There is another and a more serious OBJ
lection TO plays of this sort. We have
never seen one which gave true idea OF
Southern life or that fairly represented
the best types of Southern character. The
Times does not go too far when IL says:
These so-called Southern plays of the
present day are. In reality. more insidous
than even the Northern school histories
because their falsehoods are concealed by
the glamor OF stage scenery, and lights
and pleasing music. They will doubtless
continue to be as they are while Northern
writer's are their authors. and we trust
that before long either some competent
Southern playwright or some English
dramtist like Greg Will be found who will
get up a real. genuine Southern play that
will reflect truly and justly the Southern
character.
The war affords abundant material for
the dramatist. but up to date very poor
use has been made OF II.

A Strike in China.

There is an impression in America that
strikes are unknown in China. My expe-
rience is quite 10 the contrary. says a
writer i'm the Engineering Magazine. The
Chinese have invented the mariners com

one of the three which they have develop

they want anything they ask for 1t by

was a great hubbub. The miners came to
know if what the head man told them
was true. They went TO work the next
day. and striking was free in that mine
ever after, but each man paid for his own
fun. In the end, however they devised
more potent mode OF warfare. They went
into the mine with delightful regularity.

CAPRIVI AND WAR.

Chancellor Won Caprivi in his speech
twenty-eight appointed to consider the
proposed bill for the increase of the army
spoke very earnestly of the necessity of
its adoption. He called attention to the
fact that an entente existed between
France and Russia, and intimated that
in the present perturbed condition of
France, 1t was not wholly impossible for
a strong man TO arise and seize on to
the dictatorship Of the country and the
chance of such a change in affairs there
should be watched closely by Germany.
He then spoke of the possibility of an
attack on the Triple Alliance, Germany,
Austria and Italy, and said that, in that
event, Germany would be compelled TO
bear the brunt of the battle, and so
should be prepared for any emergency.
For these reasons the Chancellor advo-
Gated the passage of his bill for the in
crease of the German army and his
cause was strengthened, no doubt by
the publication Of an alleged synopsis
OF the Franco Russian Convention, by
which IL was agreed that in case Of war
each OF these two countries was 70 place
in the field 10000 men within six weeks.
1t is probable that this bill will pass.
and then Germany will increase her
military strength according TO its pro-
visions. Then Austria win Increase hers;
then Russia and France will strengthen
themselves. and finally all five of these
great powers OF Europe will be converted
into military fields. constantly watching
each other. and ready for an outbreak

adopting resolutions indorsing Murphy

port. II this is so il is the beginning Of
the end Of the New York Machine, and
an Albany special says on the subject
that how far the resentment OF Mr..
Croker toward Senator Hill is likely to
go no one cares to predict. but it is taken
for granted among the politicians that
the big combination has been burst
by the very bomb that the Senator cast
into the Electoral College.
