Ignacel Does the secretary OF war
know that even the churches OF that
locality depend largely upon the fat
wallets OF people who come TO Mackiuac
Island 60 while away their summer
hours?
This is indeed pretty bid Tor the
favor OF the poor, by praying upon their
prejudice, and is, withal, faithful typi-
fication of Democratic methods OF help
ing Demonstrating the rich and
simultaneously robbing the poor OF their
jobs and wages. A modern exempliIica-
ton, indeed, OF cutting of ones nose to
spite ones face.
But, now, since the think-tank OF the
Cleveland reign has Disseminated against
the rich, let us consider the result OF the
proposed plan. As il stands today, this
beautiful reservation is a national park,
the benefits o. which are youchsaied
alike TO plutoerat and pebeian by a
power that knows no peerage OF heredi-
tary nabobs.

A God-givcn boon Go degcnerated
humankind is the possibility OF reform.
Reform in society, reform in politics,
reform in religion; may Heaven grant

bottomless pits of living pcrdtion to
cast il thence
But many mortal who is Indifferent

mold. The modns opeandi OF many OF
the reforms OF today have wrought u
generation OF skeptcs There is, we be-
lieye, a veritablc multitude OF good men
and true who turn their backs upon il
worthy work because OF the hypocriles
and hell-brecders there arc in the reform
business
There are so many pseudo-saints

conceal the rottonness Of their own
bestial and bcsotted natures, have
donnod the garb Of sanctity and thus, en-
masquc, stalk by day about the vineyard

while concealing Night witnesses, silently
and alone, the abstraction OF the goods

Alas
There are too many-iar too many
gulls in the forefront OF the XIXu
century reform forces. They have

efforts.
Reform Of any kind can only reach the

SSsnograPhers Able to Make Big Money
during Debates In tho Houses.
1t is true that there are twenty or
thirty more members in congress than
there were a few years ago, but a
, change has come over the spirit of de-
bate. Long-winded speeches are rarer;
men talk quicker and say more. The
incessant agitation of the tariff has
been an education in figure, and if a
nun makes wild statement he is
promptly contradicted. Astenograph-
er who can report the house debate
is at the top of his profession, says the
Boston. Transcript, and there is no
more promotion for him. The men
who do this work earn incomes that
would make the average professional
man turn green with envy; for when
congress is not in session they are in
demand at the highest figures, to re-
port the most important matters.
There was man in Washington once,
good many wears ago. who through
bad habits had lost every faculty he
had except that of writing shorthand
not only as fist as people could talk,
but as fast as they could think In
his intervals of sobricty he could
make money hand over fist as
house stenograher. He generally kept
fairly sober during the session of con
grcss, but as soon as it was over he
would deliberately drink himself into
lnsensibility. His services were SO
much in demand that men who knew
his powers and wanted his services
would como to Washington, bring him
out of his fit Of dissipation, get him
1
of action and watch him like hawk
while the case-generally great law
suit lasted. Then, as COON asst was
over, he would go back to his evil
ways. But as long as he lived he could
write shorthand, and as long as he
lived he made a fine income There is
a superstition that every tariff bill calls
for the, death Of one of the house ste
nographers. The Mckinley bill, the
Morrison bill, both had their victims,
and if man has q headache now
among the stenographers they all look
blue and feel black. .. So,

WGR-WORN SICILY.
It Has Been the Battle Ground OF Europ,
for Muny Years.

It Has Been the Battle Ground OF Europe
for Many Years.
T. The insurrection in Sicily, which has
caused so much alarm in Italy, is not
something that is new to the island.
EclEium has been called the cock pit
of northern Europe, but Sicily has
been the most remarkable of all inter
national arenas. Ancient geograpilcrs
called 1T Irinacria, meaning Triangle
Land" which was a very appropriate
name. #........... d..
One of it's main capes stretches out
toward Greece, another toward north
ern Africa, and the third toward the
mainland of Italy, thus, as it were, in
viting invaders from as many different
points of the compass. ....
Three thousand years ago, and long
before the foundation of Rome, Sicily
was the scene of fierce strugrlcs be-
tween the aborigines and people whose
home was somewhere on the other side
of the Straits of Messlne. .
Seven centuries before the Christian
era, great cities were built In Sicily;
but a. series of civil wars covered the
island with ruin, and seaport after sea-
port fell into the hands of the Garth
aginians. Eventually the island be-
came n Roman province, but in the
year A. D.a44O, it was conquered by tho
-Vandals; they, in turn. being expelled
by the Ostrogoths.
Saracens and Normans, Spaniards
and French have fought for the do
minion of the island, and in tho era of
the first French empire Sicily proved q
fatal apple OF discord. England
claimed the island; France insisted
that itswas a part of the Kingdom of
Naples, and the war that ensued only
ended with Waterloo
The present ngrarian insurreetion
may spread across the Straits of Mes
sina, or even to the gates Of Rome, and
possibly fulfill the prediction of nn
Italian deputy, who recently. wnrned
hiscountrymen that the revolt was but
the beginning Of the end for tho tdy-
nasty Of Victor Emmanuel. l2.. !.
