The farmers' union. (Memphis, Mo.) 1891-1895, 1894-05-24

The Democratic platform, given YER
batium from the st. Louis Republic
appears in another column. The con-
venti0n appears to not have had the
fear OF the Lord or the welfare of the
masses at heart when it got up the
misleading document. The platform
makes pretense as being in favor Of
silver and at the last endorses Cleve-
land, the greatest enemy of the white
metal in this country. The sole object
in getting up she platform seems to
mislead the people. Like all Demo-
cratic platforms of recent years it is
constructed so as to admit of several
meanings. It is nothing more nor less
than bait for suckers. Take its tariff
nonsense, for instance. What has
that party done since it got 1.-The
chance" in that directson? Nothing
but pander to the wishes of the manu-
facturers, coal oarons and trusts.of all
kinds. The Dragging lakes one think
of Ananias' record, only that it much
much more on a gigantic scale. In
fact Ananias would be a novice in his
heretofore supposed specially with the
Democratic party of this state. A
member of that party in Missouri who
fails to blush with shame at the insin-
cerity and dishonesty of that platform
must have their face armor plated with
better material than Carnegie furn-
ished, or entirely lost to shame. Q The
asst Democratic platform was certainly
deceptive enough to suit the most ex
.cting in that direction, but the Mis-
ouri article could give it easily ''cards
md spades"

A British Off1cer's Invention.

Captain Wilson, R. NJ. of the torpedo
instruction ship Vernon, has invented
an appliance for cutting through the tor
pedo nets with which modern warships
protect themselves from torpedo attacks
The experiments already made prove to
the fullest extent the tremendous power
Of the new invention, which has fully
realized all its originator claimed for it.
The inventor of the torpedo net ridiculed
the idea of any instrument being able to
cut through his tough steel wire net
ting. But the trial just made has proved
the emptiness of his boast.
The great momentum of the White
head torpedo. armed with. Captain Will
sons new torpedo cutters, enabled it to
cut its way through any torpedo net,
even when the latter was set an angle of
45 degs., without apparent retardation
of its fight. The cutter consists of
blades arranged scissor fashion, which
sever the wire meshes of the net, max
ing an aperture sufficient for the en-
trance of the torpedo.-Electricity.

Red Tape.

The JUICE de paix at Beauregard, near
Paris, placed certain villa residence I'M
der sequestration. After the usual formal
tiles had been gone through, the seals were
affixed everywhere and the crowd dis
persed. Presently piteous mewing was
heard inside the house. The large white
cat had been "sequestered" along with the
rest, and could not be let out without in
fringing the law. The JUICE de paix was
sent for, but he declared that he could do
nothing, and as last resort they tele-
graphed to the president of the tribunal in
Paris, who granted permission to remove
the seals for the space of one minute. The
release of the cat cost, in fees, the sum of
200 francs, which was raised by collection
among the neighbors. -Intransigeant.

A UNIQUE Theater.

A stock company in Vienna is about
to begin building unique theater in
one of the recently annexed districts.
The cost is to be $3.50, 900 or $500, 900.
The roof is to be great rolling iron cur
tain, after the style of iron curtains now
used before shop windows. and on hot
summer nights it is to be drawn aside so
that the audience may be refreshed.
With that arrangement the company
expects to be able to carry out its plan
to give performance every evening in
the year, or 422 performances annually,
including matinees. The theater will
accommodate 5000 persons, and the
highest price for place outside of the
boxes is to be only forty cents, although
the heaviest classical plays and the
works of the best modern dramatists
are to be produced on it's stage.-Archi-

A Rubber Pavement.

When was in Germany few years
ago was shown a street pavement that
had been laid which was made Of rub
Der. It was almost noiseless, and some
went so far as to say that if it proved
successful otherwise it would do away
with vehicle springs. The only objec.
ton made to the pavement was that it
was feared it would be affected by the
change of temperature. | saw q man
the other day who had recently arrived
from Germany, and he told me the pave
ment of which have spoken has proved
to be complete success. That it is not
changed by cold or hot weather, and
that it wears we'll even under the heaviest
teaming.-Interview in Chicago Tribune.

a Plum Pudding in Russia.

Does any one remember ByrOn's fa~
nous plum pudding story! Ii so. the
Nikita plE1n pudding story may strife
them as somewhat Of parallel. When
staying at st. Petersburg for Christmas.
some English friends of the young
singer. thinking to please her and re-
gardless of the effects on her voice. sent
her monster plum pudding as a sur
prise. Imagine her amazement and
trepidation when it was announced in
every morning paper that a large box,
supposed to contain an internal ma
chine, directed to the young singer, had
been deposited at the nearest police sta
ton. A letter reached her from an
authCrity-there are many authorities
about in St. Petersburg-informing her
that the police were chary OF opening
the box, fearing it might be dangerous
to their lives. but did she know of any
one valiant enough to attempt the deed.
the box should be hers.
Her impresario undertook to die in the
attempt, and on arriving at the police
station for that express purpose was
somewhat relieved to find the huge pack
age reposing quietly enough in tank OF
water. Now came the moment for the
untying of the Gordian knot, and there
reposed, wrapped in linen within an earth
enware bowl. the pudding dearest to the
heart of Englishmen on the 25th of De-
cember as every year comes around.
The police still refused to be satisfied.
and insisted that the terrible thing
might shroud a mysterious bomb. After
a vast amount of probing and pronging,
the pudding was at length conveyed to
it's destination. and both it and the joke
were heartily enjoyed by the Nikita
rty.-Gentlewoman.

PhilOlOgy and Grammar.

There is notion abroad that philologyI
is superior to grammar; that it is in
commanding position over gramma J.
and that it has natural right to super
wise the arrangements and Technology
of grammar. The consequence has been
that of late years almost every author
who has come forward as gramlnarian
has done so, more or less, in the guise
of a philologist, as if this character in
vested him with higher authority. and
gave him power to innovate upon the
time honored Institutes of grammar.
By this avenue some confused and n.y.
b1id doctrines have found their way
into current schoOlboOks. - Professor
John Earle in Forum.

Early Trade.


The earliest evidence CT peaccfa! trade
and employment is to be found in the in
scriptions of Wady ell Magharah, valley
of the caye", in the Sinaitic desert. The
mines in this country, from which the
Egyptians obtained mafek, or turquois-
whence the region was called Mafka-were
worked in the time OF Senoferu, ninth king
of the third dynasty, whose tablets still re-
main carved on the rocks, and copper is
also believed to have been thence obtained.
The date of this monarchy is very uncer-
tain. It has been placed as early as $500
B. c., but the method by which scholars
endeavored to ascertain such dates is open
reign of thirty years for each king, which
seems much too long period if we COM
pare the average in later times, when the
regnal years are exactly recorded. Seno-
feru, however, cannot have lived much
later than $500 B. c.
About the same time the great Akkadian
conqueror, whose name is usually read as
Gudea, had established his capital on the
lower Tigris, and had conquered northern
Syria, whence he took cedar wood for the
building of his temples. He states, in an
inscription recently discovered at Tell Lob,
that the diorite in which his statues were
hewn came from Ma-gan-na, "the land of
the WALL" and the evidence of other texas
shows clearly that the country SO called
was Sinai. The term answers to the He
brew Shur, "the wall, }" and in addition to
this statement biologists assure US that
the material used for the statues is the
same diorite found in the Sinaitic PENN
sula. At this very early period, therefore,
the Egyptian and the Mongol Akkadian
appear to have met, in the Sinaitic region,
in times of peace, and the stone from the
quarries was transported over the distance
of 1900 miles eastward to the Tigris.-
