WHAT CARNoTs DEATH MEANS.

The assassination of President Carnot is
deplorable, outrageous. But the same blow
that struck out his life will startle and awaken
the conscience of that loose social thought in
France, which, left to itself, would resolve
into the madness of anarchy.
1t is another attack on European law by
those who are unwilling to wait for peaceful
reform. But let US look at the direct and in
direct causes that murdered NJ. Carnot and
trace the trail of this last mad act
The powers of Europe are maintaining
enormous standing armies rather to preserve
the personal power of rulers than to protect
their subjects. France has no ruler who
wants TO keep his throne. but she is bound
to maintain for her self-preservation an army
as large as that of her neighbors. That army
is continued at the expense of the people un-
til they have learned to hate the sight Of
uniformed force. That hatred is the hotbed
where poisonous anarchy propagates.
Carnot. then, is more a martyr to medieval
ism and the maintenance of titled snobocracy
than TO what might seem more direct cause.
1t is like flying in the face of history to say
that French people are not, sui generi vio-
ienI people, ana Yet sucn statement Is In
reality the very teaching of history. The
story of France is the story of repeated
attempts to establish a republic in a conti-
nent full of monarchies, autocracies, and
despctisms. Everything is against France;
her own aptecedents, and her neighbors with
whom she must keep up a ruinous military
pace.
SO long as the masses of Europe are bur-
dened with excessive taxation for the support
OF standing armies and by CONSUMPTION to fill
the ranks of these armies. just so long will
there be anarchy, riot, and general discon-
tent
There is a wise provision that those who
banker after "the new are obliged to drink
drastic draughts of their own making This
last mad act OF one of their own countrymen
is terrible medicine for Frenchmen who would
attempt to change the social system by other
than peaceful measures. 1t will not frighten
anarchy in the least. but it will inoculate
large class whose mental and moral systems
are ready to absorb that social disease which
appropriately uses the red flag as its symbol.
Carnot as surely died for his people as If on
the field of battle. In his death the French
nation has another martyr, and European
rulers haye another awful lesson.

officers that come there fer a short time dur
| Ing furlough and the way in which they act.
| IL is strange, but it seems almost without
contradiction, that when young officer from
Annapolis or West Point gets leave he must
celebrate it with gentlemanly drunk. Per-
haps it is only the letting out OF emotion so
long pent up, but nevertheless 1t is fact.
One very interesting incident took place ut
the Ebbitt House during the past week. A
young officer now attached to ship at the
Brookly navy yard has been stopping at the
hotel When he came there he appeared in
sort of daze, and it was through the human
ity OF hack driver that he reached the hotel
ut all. He at once made break for the bar.
and finally had to be assisted to bed.
Alter sound sleep he came down stairs
with puzzled look on his face and ap-
preached the clerk behind the desk. The
orchestra was playing in the next room. and
the brilliantly lighted corridor was full OF
people. He still wore the dazed look on his
face, and he approached the clerk in hesi-
tating manner and did not want to be over
heard apparently in what he was going to
say. The clerk good naturedly stood over
hear the music so that the sound OF the young
officers voice would be drowned, but even he
was startled when the man said hoarsely:
''What town am / imp
The clerk looked ut him sharply. and
thought at first that the officer was guying
him. Accordingly he answered in non
comm!ttai way:
''Whnt town do you think YOU are in?''
Af-ain the pazzled look swept over the face
OF the young officer, and he said in an uneer-
tain manner:
II haven't the slightest idea"
The clerk saw his eye rowing around the
room, as tnough in search of familiar Objects
and then seeing that the fellow was really in
the dark said kindly:
Where were you last?'
The last place remember is New York.
said the lost one.
How do you know you are not in New
York now?'
For an answer the man dove down in his
pocket and pulled out a roll OF bills Then he
said:
''Ihaye had whole lot ofdrinks. l have had
several cab rides and Turkish BATH not to
speak of a couple OF meals, and l still have
that much money left. This isn't New York"
This was said in such q positive manner
aud the Joke was SO funny that the clerk re-
Tented and told him where he was, and the Of
iicer at once set of to find the day and time

ONE OF THE CAUSES OF UNREST

The present unrest of the working classes
cannot be attributed to any one cause tits the
result OF chain OF circumstances tina.
reaches back for several years, and no hu-
man effort can restore order and content
ment except by taking up each link and re-
moving the cause.
Congress has had much to do with bring
ing about the discomfort by its varying. vas
cillating policies and through the demagosy
and broken pledges of its members. Petit
Jogging legislation, in which Congressman
sacrifice Independence, principle. and power
to act for public good has also added
its influence, and if the public is dis
appointed, discontented with the lack OF de-
cisive work in Congress. a good reason can
be found in the election of unworthy mem-
bers
Congressman who devote themselves to the
lobbying through Congress OF private bills
and measures. barter away their power to act
independently, and place themselves on the
level with shyster, pettitogging lawyers.
The tendency TO pettifog increases with sue
cess and in time members become confirmed
lobbyists with a reputation not always of the
best.
The position of member of Congress de-
mands. first of all dignity, decision OF char
acter, absolute honesty, and freedom to act
independently The pledges of party and the
faith of constituency are nothing compared
to the honor and uprightaess involved in nav
ing faithfully dischargeda trnst. and no Con-
gresham can do so who devotes his time and
energies to securing the enactment of private
bills.
Demagogues are also a cause for disap-
pointment in Congress. In their public deela-
rations they are continually making promises
pledging their efforts to bring about inpos-
sible reforms. and proposing theories and
schemes that are as wild and mprac;icable as
the brains that conceived them. Thus. vote
bribing pledges are never realized, because
Congress seldom considers cagaries and
always rejects demagogic schemes of a wheel
Drained nature. Therefore the people who
place faith in demagogic utterances are dis
appointed and it is not strange that they find
fault with the proceedings of Congress.

PHILOSOPHY OF ARBITRATION.

Senator Allison's resolution proposing to
refer all future disputes between Great Brit
ain and the United States to arbitration has
struck responsive chord in the House of
Commons where paper expressive of graft
cation at the sentiment embodied in it is be-
ing circulated for signatures. 1t is in accord
with the best and most progressive ideas of
Humanitarian philosophy and tends in the di-
reciion OF placing the intercourse between ma
tions upon the highest pinnacle of refined
civilization. 1t aims to bring about that era
when swords shall be beaten into plowshares
and spears into pruning hooks, and when
peoples as well as individuals will recognize
the inherent justice OF the maxim of "giye
and take. when might alone shall not deter
mine right. but all mankind be swayed by a
common impulse TO practice the golden rule.
As TO information al affairs public opinion
slowly, PERHAPS, but surely, is learning to ap-
preciate the wisdom OF Bulwers "Put away
the sword; states can be saved without it."
The hope may be INDUCED, therefore. that in

Wooden EOOd.

''Did you ever hear of wood being used for
food?' inquired Amion L. Vandervate of Pen
sacoia, Fla, of the corridor man at the Lin
dell last evening. y travelled rather ex-
tensively among Siberia few years ago. and
found that among the natives along the
northern coast wood in n certain form is
most common and constant article of diet.
The natives eat it because they like it. Even
when fish are plentiful it usually forms part
of the evening meal, as many cleanly stripped
larch logs near every hut testify. These
people know by experience that the fact of
their eating wood arouses the sympathy OF
strangers, and shrewdly use it to excite pity
and TO obtain gifts Of tea and tobacco. They
scrape off thick layers Immediately under the
bark of the log, and, chopping it lne, mix it
with snow. 1t is then boiled in a kettle
Sometimes little fish roe. milk. or butter is
mixed with it. st. Louis Globe-Democrat

FOR UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.
twenty-five Thousand Vienna Socialists
Declare in Favor of 1t.


Declare in Favor of 1t.
VIENNA, June 24.-An immense meeting OF
socialists was held in the Prater to-day, il
being estimated that fully $4,000 were present.
The object CT the meeting was to declare in
favor of universal suffrage, for which the
Austrian workingmen have been agitating for
long time. The speakers urged that the
agitation be continued until the demand was
conceded.
1t was the intention of the socialists TO have
procession through the principal streets Of
the city, but this was prevented by detach-
ments OF mounted and foot police. A slight
conflict between the would-be paraders and
police occurred, and two of the socialists
were arrested. The crowd attempted TO res
cue the prisoners, and the police were obliged
to use their swords and revolvers to retain
the two men.
The crowd sang a number of revolutionary
songs, but there was no very serious dis.

delegation. He is an elderly man. with fund
of stories and "reminiscences that are as inter
esting as only Missouri stories can be.
Gov. Francis has fallen on a quieter
reign than some of his predecessors enjoyed.
Nevertheless ne likes to look back on the good
old days when Missouri was state of war
ring factions. when parties arose in a night
only 10 wither with the sun. when the old
passive policy was creating such havoc in the
lines OF the staid old parties. and Republicans,
Democrats, Populists and Prohibitionists
waged sort Of guerilla warfare on one an
other.
Gov. Francis is famous story teller and
one OF his favorites is concerning an ex-
Governor of Missouri whose fame will never
die in that state. He was known as old Gov.
Stewart. and was noted rs the worst swearer
the hardest drinLer. and the most formidable
debaterin the whole district. The story as
told by Gov. Francis is concerning Gov
Stewart regime.
1t was during the palmiest days of Gov.
Stewards power that the Prince of Wales
paid his visit to this country. All over the
country the people were eXerting themselves
to do him honor. Gov. Stewart decided
after some thought that the biggest state in
the Union was Missouri, and that she was
therefoSe the one to entertain the prince Ac-
cordingly he arranged a mammoth parade,
and an invitation was duly given and ac-
cepted by England's heir to the throne. The
great demonstration took place in st. Louis.
On specially draped stand were seated the
Prince OF Wales and the Governor. As col
umn after column rolled by Gov. Stewards
patriotism arose TO fever heat. He aud the
Prince of Wales had both made frequent visits
to the wine table, and both were feeling good
toward all mankind. At the end of the
parade came the ilremen in their red shirts
and cleaning helmets. The display of
ehivalry and wealth had almost overcome
Gen. Stewart, but when these brawny firemen
appeared he could contain himself no longer,
ami with tears glistening in his eyes he
clapped the scion of nobility on the back and
said:
Cad, sir; don't you wish you were the
Governor Of Missouri?'
Gov. Francis is never allowed to go on and
tell how the prince took the remark.
