 modern Washington. He secured q plan of that city, and this seemed on examination so exactly to meet the necessities of the case that he finally submitted it to the emperor. The .re- suit was that the plan in the main was accepted, and modern Paris was built on the lines of modern Washington
 Thus is explained certain similarity which strikes every one who is familiar with the two capitals although one might naturally suppose the Ameri- daughter, instead of the mother Bat Gen. Washington more than half a cen tury earlier had ordered L. 'Enfant to design him plan for his seat of gov ernment in much the same manner as Napoleon III. had commanded Baron Haussman. Now, L Enfant was not only a Frenchman, but a resident of Versailles, and he undoubtedly derived his inspiration from his earlier sur ronndings; consequently Washington saw an enlargement of the Royal park, with it's alleys extended into avepues and it's numerous flower beds and par terres enlarged into circles and quad- rants. Thus by d trans-oceanie leap Baron Haassman took from the new world what he could have secured at his own gate.
 So much for merely curious artistic coincidence. But in light of recent de- velopments in our capital. q singular inquiry suggests itself = namely. whether Gen. Washington. in laying out the city, did not have in mind the same two-fold object that Napoleon III. had when laying out Paais To be sure, the present industriql army move ment now bids fair to end in ridieule.

cuRloslTIEs OF THE AURORA.
Early Expectations and Gonjectures Res
 garding the Phenomenon.


 garding the Phenomenon.
 The ancients viewed the aurora borea- lis with superstitious awe, looking upon it as an omen of direful disaster. 1t is not unusual for descriptions of old-time battles, to mention the fact that the curious red northern lights gave IS warning that something awful was about to happen" In the annals of Clan Mac-Noise is to be found an account of purple aurora, which lighted up the northern skies in the year 6sS A. D.,son the night preceding the dreadful battle fought by the Irish tribes of Leinster and Munster and it Is not necessary to mention the fact that the people took it as an omen of the great slaughter which soon followed. In the year 1859 the people of America witnessed some of the grandest displays of the auroral lights that has ever been known in the history of the world. During the month of September, that year, particularly upon the nights of the 2d, Sd and 29th, brilliant auroras were reported from nearly every point on the American continent Expectations people like those of Ireland hundreds of years ago believe until this day that the peculiar appearance of the sky upon the nights mentioned was presage of the great conflict which was soon to be waged between the north and south. The cause of the aurora has long been matter of speculation. NJ. de Ia Rive, a Genoese scientist, who has long and faithfully labored for the enlighten- ment of humanity upon this subject, made an interesting experiment in tln- land i'll the year 1882, and one which goes long way towards proving that ..ftful aurora is phenomenon of cleo trical character The experiment. is best described in the language of tha experimentershinsel ''AFe surrounded the peak of d mountain with copper wire. pointed at intervals with tin nibs.

 During the month of August of this year, Brig =Gen. Saxton issued an order from his headquarters at Beaufort re= fe44ing to the marriage customs of the color9d people under his authority. This order provided that each freedman must confne himself. to the one wife to whom he had been lawfully married. If he had never been 50. married he should choose tine woman Wh0 was mother of most of his children, and be married to her as soon as possible.
 When this order was read by the sn- parinfendents Ii created . great stir among the negroes. Many of them re- ioiced and considered it a final proof that they were free jus like huckfah man. In more than one of the churches the Sunday morning services closed with a big wedding.

Many of them did not know their right hand from their left, so they faced each other and clasped both hands while they listened to the Bible law of marriage. Then the minister asked the solemn question: Do you take this woman whose hands you hold to be your lawfully welded wife? Do you promise to love, honor and protect her as long as you both do live?" A deep, strong answer rose from the lips of more than fifty men. .'I de

LIBERTY is the heritage of this people
It was born of a revolution fought out for
humanity. But liberty is only name
without law. The law must underlie and
hold up all liberty. No man was broader
in his patriotism than Abraham Lincoln.
no man ever had truer conception of
liberty than he. But he knew that its
cornerstone is respect for and obedience
to the law. and hence he said: "Let rev.
erence of the law be breathed by every
mother to the lisping babe that prattles
on her lap; let it be taught in the schools,
selninaries and colleges; let it be written
in primers, spelling books and almanacs;
let it be preached from pulpirs and pro-
claimed in legislative halls and enforced
in courts of justice; in short, let it become
the political religion of the Nation"

The demand of impulse, that because
of an anarchistic attempt under the guise
OF labor strike, the Government should
buy out and operate all railroads. is one
that is antagonistic to the best interests
of honest labor.
Government monopoly of transporta-
tion is the very worst thing that could
happen to labor. Wages would not be so
high; Government wages never rise to
the level of private payment; place would
be had only as the price of political favor;
Government patronage would be the
basic stone for species of autocracy born
of partisanship; competition, the heart
beat of commerce in transportation
would be eliminated. and in all these
labor would be the chief sufferer.
The advocates of Government owner
ship have gone of at tangent in assum-
ing that it would be equivalent to the
death of strikes; but this is mere guess;
strikes under Government ownership
would be just as frequent as they are
now and would become revolutions of
the most vicious order; rebellions and
outbreaks that would give excuse for the
erection of military power simply
gigantic in its danger to free institutions.
It has not been shown by single advo-
cate of Government ownership of rail-
ways why it would eliminate strikes.
The only hint of reason given has been
this, that the strike would disappear be-
fore the power of the Government to sup
press it. That leads up to precisely the
conclusion reached in the preceding par
agraph, and there is no escape from it.
But there is one more consideration in
that connection. Strikers under Govern
ment ownership would be invariably
fostered and encouraged by the political
party out of control, or by new parties or
demagogic organizations formed to Sc
cure control, and the result would be a
constant struggle, which would cul-
inmate with every strlKe IN a petIy, per-
haps great revolt.
In short Government control would
South Americanize the United States of
North America.
The less there is of business ownership
by the Federal Government the better for
the people and their liberties. The Fed
eral Government, in maintaining the in
volatility of the right to freely trade be-
tween the States, follows the interstate
commerce provisions of the Constitution,
which is just as far in the matter of
control as the fathers of the nation deemed
it safe to go. The same wise foresight
that operated with them should guide US.
Let transportation be free from govern
mental ownership. but let the rights of
owners be guaranteed for the future. as
in the past, by the Government. Be-
yond that it viii be dangerous to pro-
ceed.
