Red Men Of Guiana.

There arc still "red men" in Guiana,
according to Mr.. Smith Delaoour's re-
port-descendants Of the inhabitants at
the time Of its discovery. They are ap.
parently Of three or more separate ori-
gins.
The Oldest inhabitants are believed to
be the Warraus, who lead Il semiumphib-
ious life, without agriculture and rath-
er as fishers than as hunters. Where
these people came from is not known.
Of more certain origin are tho second
set, tho Arawacks, who were driven
southwark from the West Indian is
lands. After them came whole series
Of Carib tribes, who were also forced
southwark from the West Indies. Just
before the advent Of tho Europeans the
last Of the Carib tribes made it's appear
ance and its people were known as tho
''True Caribs.''
In life and surroundings there is no
great difference between any Of tho ex.
listing tribes. They live in small family
groups, the mutual relations Of the Nom.
bers being admirably regulated by 0
very decided though unwritten code.
They pass perfectly simple lives, the
happiness Of which seems to be enhanced
by the inevitable collisions with other
tribes. A sufficiency Of food 10 procured
by hunting and fishing and . primitive
kind Of agriculture Their houses adds
Mr.. Smith Delacour, are Of the simplest,
but exactly what is required, and tho
furniture is usually hammock. Cloth.

Democratic association. Senator Nor

floor and referred to manifesto from
the Minnesota Democratic association,

to be In league with the "Hill-Gorman-
Pugh combination" in opposition to the
tariff bill, i'll which they were called

marked Mr.. Morgan. ''is the French
metho d Of trying man in his absence
and without serving notice upon him."
He expressed himself as salts fed with
the bill now before the senate as it
came from the finance committee, and
it was his purpose to vote for it without
any amendments, so far as he knew.
lie was willing to sit up for several con-
sective nights TO accommodate Repub-

speeches. He had been tariff reformer
before many of the gentlemen who had
issued this diatribe against him. aud he
had never relaxed his purpose and de-
sire to have fair, just and equitable
system Of taxation in the u nited States.
