HUNGARY's GYPsIEs.

Prom he New YORK Recorder.
In Hungary there are according 20 n
rough estimate. about one hundred and
fifty thousand gypsies, vagabonds who
wander about the country with their
carts and horses, accompanied By their
women and children; and though at
one time prosecuted as unbelievers,
and hunted 70 death as sorcerers and
prisoners, the cruel edictS which en-
Joined such treatment were never sym
pathized in by the Hungarian people.
The result is, as we learn from The
Peoples Of the World, that the gypsies
have increased, and, IN their own thrift
less. squalid fashion. prospered, despite
the hard usage they have received At
the hands Of their rulers.
Indeed, the Hungarian kings have
more than once protected them a. a

THE SHEEP INDUSTRY,
Below is a statement and table q

Below Is a statement and table e.
hibiting the location and number of
the sheep in the United States, and
giving their wool product for the
years 1870 and 1898. The figures for
1870 were taken from the United States
census. The figures for 1898 We're taken
from the report of the United States
commissioner of agriculture. These
figures show an increase under pro-
tective tariff of 66 per cent. in the
number of sheep, and of 26S per cent.
in the wool product. The greater per-
centage of increase of the wool prod
uct is partly due to the increase in the
weight of the fleece, owing to the fact
that, in 1898, 75 per cent. of the wool
product was fine wool or wool of the
merino blood. while in 1890 a much
larger proportion of the wool product
of the United States was the light,
open, coarse wool, which during the
war had been in such demand for army

CONGRESS IS RESPONSIBLE.

The responsibility is with congress
the Democratic congress-with the
Cleveland administration. At such
q time, confronted by such an abnormal
and threatening state of public affairs,
if congress had not been in session the
universal cry would have been for Its
immediate converting IN extra session.
But ii is in session and has been, not
only since the trouble began but for
months before. In fact congress has
been the real source of the trouble--thls
Democratic congress, this free trade,
istrative head, and all faith that the hair
of the dog will cure his bite has failed.
Congress has not only been IN session,
but its action, or want of action, has pre-
cipitated all the strikes of which the past
year piles up such fearful record, of
strikes of miners and of mills and rail
ways, of strikes, resulting in bloodshed
and in restitution in Pennsylvania and
in Colorado.
And the Democratic party will have to
answer for its Democratic congress and
Its Democratic president, who in the
campaign that landed him in Office and
in the place of power, promised impos-
sible things and then utterly failed, or
rather refused, to attempt to redeem the
promises made.
History will record the troubles under
the Democratic administration of Grover
Cleveland to have been the most direful
in all the years of the nations life.

1t Is now reasonably certain that the
Wilson bill will become law, but such
a law! After making liberal allowance
for lapses and freaks liable to proceed
from such a cockatrice's den as the pres
ent congress-, it was hardly expected
that it would hatch such a monster as
this. 1t is a monster on its merits, and
doubly so as the progeny OF the party
of free trade and reform. Representa-
live Wilson was, doubtless, actuated by
an honest purpose in framing the orig
inal bill. He took his party at its word,
and, from its traditions and teachings,
backed by the ringing declarations of
Che Chicago convention, he embodied
the principles of his party in the bill
which still bears his name. In other
words, he took 70 his bosom the egg
which was laid in Chicago, and
with pardonable pride, no doubt
expected In time to look upon the
gay plumage of that ideal bird OF libert V
which was to carry upon its wings
freedom to our commerce. Fora time
he kept it warm, and guarded 1t with
the care Of maternity, but his hopes, like
those OF many barnyard pullet, were
doomed from the start. The period of
incubation made the opportunity for
sundry old cocks and hens, whose par
ticular local dunghills were not sup
posed to be a favorite roost for the on
coming progeny, TO set up cackle
which get the well-meaning godmOther
into such confusion that it ended in COM
plete nervous prostration. So PROSTATE
was Wilson, and so deafening was this
incessant cackling that he was forced
TO seek refuge beyond the confines of
the Republic. The friendly pueblos of
Mexico afforded him a safe retreat,
and his weeks of convalcscence
were peaceful, but his return-how his
heart must have died within him TO find
that his egg was added, and that the
offspring was to be the very antipodes of
what he had intended. Between the
superheated rhetoric of the south and
the hot breath of New England and Wall
street the thing was kept warm, and I'M
der cover of the last night of the one
hundred and eighteenth year of our in
dependence the fiedgeing came forth
what? a loathsome, carrion-eating,
puking buzzard. Could the vanity and
disappointment of human hopes have
come with more crushing weight to the
author of this bill? The proud bird of
his hopes will live IN his dreams and sail
upon the seas of his Imagination, but
this foul creature viii roost about the
dome of the capitol to prey and feast
upon the fostering carcass of the party
which, after the ides of next November,
will send up stencil so sckening that
the miasmatic odors from the Potomac
fats viii be as the altar of roses. Poor

IT WAS DEMAGOGY.

Governor Lewelling squared himself
in long and carefully prepared inter
view in which he endorsed the Debs
boycott and roasted Pullman. 1t was a
demgaOgue dodge 10 catch the vote of
the railway employees. The governor
was extra particular to state that he had
no sympathy with the robber sleeper
company.
Now for slight squint at the record
of the Lewelling administration. AT a
time when half the railway mileage of
Kansas was being forced into the hands
of receivers Mr.. dwellings administra-
ton increased the taxes on everything
connected with railways save and ex-
cept Pullman palace sleepers, upon
which they reduced the assessment 80
per cent, and put up the assessment On
the cheap tourist and immigrant sleepers
which are owned by the railroads. The
first cost of a Pullman was shown to his
board to be $13, 800, reaching a final and
total cost of about $50, 900. These cars
had been assessed at So, 900, but the
Lewelling gang, every one of whom
without doubt carries a Pullman pass,
cut the assessment down to 81, 500, in
spite of Governor dwellings declara-
ton that he has no sympathy with the
Pullman outfit,

KANSAS DEMOCRATS.

The Democrats of Kansas having put
the Pops in possession of the Pabulum,
now crawfi.h. But for the Democratic
bosses Of Kansas and their inherent de-
sire to traffic and trade, Kansas would
have been saved all the disgrace of the
past two years. The Clicks and Joneses
and Martins are responsible for the Pop
scandals in the administration of the
affairs of the charitable institutions of
the state and for Lewelling's humiliating
endorsement of trampS, to say nothing OF
the Pop crookednes3 at the state peniten-
tiary and the possible conviction of a
Kansas secretary of state tor libel. Now
that an irreparable injury has been done
the state, the Democratic bosses get to-
gether and publicly wash their hands OF
the whole dirty business. After having
done all the damage possible, and real
izing that the Pops had spit upon them
and then kicked them out, with great
show of high resolve for purity, which
innocency itself could hardly rival, they
resolve that they are great party equal
to running an independent ticket of their
own.
The Democratic party of Kansas is
equal to nothing and never was, save
doing the dirty work of the Pops for
which they got neither pay nor thanks.
