THE RoBBER BARoNS.

Five hundred years ago the robber
baron of medieval Europe sat in the
watch tower Of his castle. and gazed
down into the valley to see the slow APP
proach of the merchant caravan As il
wcndcd It's way onward and upward
toward the narrow, difficult and dam
gcrouN mountain pass. At the proper
moment a signal Is given, and the min
ions of the robber lold 90 out stealth
NY to meet it, not by the open road TO
eXtond the hands of welcome and hos
pitality, but by secret paths to lie in
ambush for the approaching merchant
men. The murderous band soon return
laden with booty, leaving the man
gled and lifeless remains of the right
full owners a prey to vultures and rave
nous wolves.
To-day the pampered effeminate scion
of an eifete nobility, as he reyels in
luxury and drinks to its dregs the cup
of debauchcry, to relieve his mind
of the ennui of an idle, parasitic eX-
istence, he rejoces to trace his lineage
back to this ancient robber.
But is the trade of the robber baron
gone? Nay, verify. 1t is still as -four
iShing as ever; but like all other trade,
and arts it has been subjected to a
metamorphosis, SO that at first glance
it appears not the same. The modern
hlghwayman is content 10 stand at the
gateways of commerce, take the earn
ings and savings of the many millions.
and let them of with life, TO go farth-
er and gather more booty. He even
spares them a little with which the
breath of life is kept within its earthly
tenement. The modern robbcr ha,
systematized and refined his art accord
ing to scientific principles, and now
levies his tax upon the common herd.
under the protection of the law. The
robber baron of five hundred years age
is the prototype; the gold trust, the
sugar trust, the coal trust, the oil trust,
the wriSkey trust, and many others OF
lesser magnitude, are the modern anti.
types. Or, indeed, if we consider them
in the light of the Darwinian theory OF
the origin and development of species,
they are evolved from these ancient
robbers. They have been produced in
accordance with the principle that q
force follows the path of least resist.
ence. The force is love of ease and
aversion TO effort. The line of least re-
sistence is union of the forces of the
predatory and parasitic classes, TO take
by stealth rather than by open warfare
TO take advantage of the weaknesse,
and ignorance Of the masses; TO de
claim loudly and long upon honesty
and honor, and with their hands plucl
the food and raiment from the mouths
and persons of their unsuspectinG
slaves.

THE PNET-N4TTC TIRE ~ KANSAS.

The versatility Of the liar is Of his most
remarkable characteristics. In no way does a
new thing ever disconcert him; he begins to lie

cause new subjects forced upon his atten-
tion; he Is Industrious as he is versatil' y; the

There comes at this hour a story from place
called Popville. alleged to be situate In the
State Of Kansas. OF man who may may not

investigator especially when he Is assured In
the most solemn manner that local poet has
constructed q song on the subject In question, In
the refrain Of which reference IL 'Iade to the

In the account OF Mr.. Perkns's invention be-

legged difference In the Kansas air from all other

this difference exists. The rate OF speed which
the Kansas air can reach when It gets started In

that OF any other atmosphere with which science

AN APPROPRIATE SOUVENIR.

There is something about the Democrats of
Nebraska which We rather like. The thing
which we rather like is one Of the planks in the
platform which was adopted at their recent State
Convention. II would not always be proper 10
say Of Democratic platform that II was about
the party adopting ii, or that 1t was even in
contact with or bore any relations to the party
1t has been remarked that the chief value Of "A
treaty Of peace consists in the facility with
to 90 10 war. In much the same way Demo
Gratis are usually very fond Of their platforms
because they are so easy TO step of from. But
SO far as we know, at this stage in the campaign,
our Democratic brethren Of Nebraska mean 10
stick 10 their platform and 80 down with IT,
Tho particular plank on which we hope their feet
will be resting when their eyes stick out for the
last time Is fashioned as follows:

mend the declarations of President Cleveland In the
past in condemnlng the pernicious activity OF ncum-
bents OF Federal Offices under the Government in

.JIrCTJCC ~ CHINA

A few notes on the Ku-Cheng inquest are in
order First. concerning the action Of Mr.. Den
by. the United States Minister TO China. His
silence for some days has been adversely criti
clsed here and there. Some folks seem TO have
thought he had gone a-fishing. or set out for
the North Pole, and was altogether neglecting
American interests That was because he did
not send long dispatch every day about his
performances 1t Is now seen that he has been
far more proftably and effectively employed
than in writing notes and running up cable bills.
He has done his work well, and preserved for
the United States as dignifed and important a
standing at Picking as any other foreign Power
enjoys
Next. concerning Liu Ping Chang. II seems
that the former report about him was naccu-
rate, and did the Chinese Government much in
justice. He. the reputcd author OF the Cheng-
tn outrages, was not appointed chief commits
sioner to investigate the massacre at Ku-Cheng
Instead he was commanded to remain where
he was until the Government could investigate
him and his doings That Is very different
matter. 1t is to be hoped, In simple justice to
the Chinese Government. that this correction
will be as widely circulated and noticed as was
the original MEASUREMENT
Altogether the Chinese Government appears
to be acting with proprety, and the inquest TO
be proceeding In satisfactory manner. 1t Is
said that ten Of the rioters have been convicted
and four already put 10 death. The Chinese Off
Gals are cooperating with the American and
British Consus, encrgeticaly and I'm good faith
There are no further outbreaks and no symp-
toms Of any. That Is very different account Of
