chant from deserted music halls One king restored much of the grandeur, rebuilt 1, 500 residences, but ruin soon resumed it's scepter. But all is down the spires down, the pillars down, the tablets down, the glory of splendid arches down. What killed those citiesp Who slew the New York and London of the year 500 B. CT Was it unhealthed with host of plaques? Was it foreign ar- mics laying seize? Was it whole gen. erations weakened by their own vices? Mystery sits amid the monoliths and brlckdust, finger on lip in eternal si- fence, while the centuries guess and guess In vain. We simply know that genius planned those cities, and immense pop ulations inhabited them. An eminent writer estimates that pile of bricks in one ruin of Ceylon would be enough to build wall ten feet high from Edin- burgh to London. Sixteen hundred pill lars with carved capitals are standing sentinel for ten miles.
 You can judge somewhat of the size of the cities by the reservoirs that were required to slack their thirst, judging the size of the city from the size of the cup out of which it drank. Cities crowd ed with inhabitants-notl like American or English cities, but packed together as only barbario tribes can pack them. But their knell was sounded, their light went out Giant trees are the only royal family now occupying those palaces. The growl of wild beasts where once the guffaw of wassail asoended. Anuraj- ahpura and Pollonarna will never be re- builded. Let all the living cities of the earth take warning. Cities are human, having time to be born and time to die. No more certainly have they cradle than grave. A last judgment is appointed for individuals, but cities have their last judgment in this world. They bless. they curse, they worship, they blaspheme. they suffer. they are re- wardsd, they are oyerthroMn.

The recent decision IN the income tax
las started an interesting discussion
relative to the old wal income tax.
Under that law there was collected be-
tween 1868 and 1872 the sum Of $780,
9O8,738. 1t was suggested that perhaps
as the recent income tax law has been.
declared unconstitutional, and the money
paid hereunder will have to be refunded,
the government might have to pay back
the millions collected years ago. But
Internal Revenue Commissioner Miller
does not think there is any foundation
for such a suggestion. 1.-THE old income
tax law was declared constitutional by
the supreme court" says he, land under
that decision the taxes were legally col
lected. 1 do not see now that twenty
one years have passed, how IN suit
could be successfully maintained to
compel the government to refund that
money. [ suppose the question will be
discussed, but I have no doubt in my
own mind of the answer"

The Boston Globe has published an in
teresting article on presidential possibili-
ties, and especially that of Hon. Thomas
B. Reed. Tt interviewed recently many
prominent New England republicans on
the subject. Many were disinclined to
talk, assigning as q reason that it was
rather early yet to make a presidential
nomination. Some said that they thought
Mckinley the logical candidate, but
would rather not offend MI. Reed by
saying 0 The politicians in Boston
who were interviewed did not seem to
be very enthusiastic over anybody in
particular, although they admitted that
as a matter Of local pride Mr.. Reed
would probably receive the support of
the New England delegation if he de-
sired their votes in the convention.
Maine is, as q matter Of course, strong
for Reed, and her leading republicans
predict that he will have the solid New
England delegation. Connecticut and
Rhode Island, on the other hand, are
quite positive that Mr.. Reed cannot con-
troll the New England delegation, and
say they expect to see the nomination
go to a western man. New Hampshire

The people of Utah have been clam
oring for statehood for upward of forty
years, and it is now, apparently, close at
hand. 1t is for the people to decide by
their. votes on November 5 next, whether
the state constitution shall or shall not
be adopted. In the former case the
president of the United States will issue
the necessary proclamation. The dele
gates to the constitutional convention
were elected on November 6, 1894; the
convention assembled on March 7, 1895,
and the completed constitution was
adopted by the convention on May. 8 by
a unanimous vote of those present, only
seven of the 1O7 delegates being absent.
The convention was in session sixty-six
days, and it framed a constitution which
covers about $4,000 words and is incor-
porated into twenty-seven articles, or
chapters. Congress appropriated $4,000
for the expenses of the convention, and
the final report Of the committee on &C.
counts shows that on the adjournment
of the convention there was a balance
on hand of sl.10, with $8,0OO.5O yet due
to members; s1,50O required for printing
the constitution and the proceedings OF
the convention. This means another
deficiency bill for the next congress.

Woman's Christian Temperance Union
has outlived its usefulness, and is i'm.
practicable IN its operations. It's aims
are thus explained by n Of the organ
izers: "We will not be the tag end OF
the suffrage party nor work in with the
cranks Of the prohibition party. If pro-
hibition would prohibit we would be for
it most enthusiastically, but it often
does more harm than good. Where we
can influence high license we shall do SO.
Where we a have licenses taken from
disreputable resorts we shall work to
that end. In everything We shall aim to
be practical. Where we can establish
places in opposition to the saloon we
shall do so. Men and women will work
side by side in this matter and politics
will be dropped. We ehall pass no reso-
luton at our meetings except on the
death of members, but when anything is
to be done we will go out and do it."

The people of the soon-to-be state of
Utah, as might have been expected, have
been very economical in setting up the
machinery of self government. The
salaries provided for officers of the
state in all departments are small, and
in some cases even paltry, judged by
familiar standards. The governor is to
receive $4,000 a year, and most Of the
state officers will get considerably less.
1t Is worth noting that the fee system
which has operated to discredit and de-
fraud many communities Is almost n
tirely obliterated in Utah, and that the
limits of state and municipal indebted
ness are rigidly restricted. AS might
have been anticipated also, a thorough.
liberal and progressive educational
establishment is projected for the new
commonwealth. The judicial system is

SECRETARY CARLISLE makes one point
in his Covington address which is
worthy of note by those who labor for a
living at a certain salary. "The great
majority of our people," he says, "render
service for wages in one form or another
and they are compelled to purchase in
the markets everything they eat, drink,
or wear, and in most cases they are COM
PEELED to pay rent for the use of a home
for themselves and their families. Like
the farmers, they have no silver bullion
to carry to the mints to be coined at the
public expense; they have nothing to
dispose of but their labor and their skill.
and as a general rule all, or substantially
all, the wages they receive must be used
IN procuring commodities for the per-
sonal use Of themselves and those de-
pendent upon them. They cannot eat,
drink, or wear the money paid to them
for their labor, and it is valuable to them
only because they can exchange it for
the necessaries and comforts of life: and
there never was a time in the history OF
the world when the workingman's dollar
would buy as much of the necessaries and
comforts of life as it will buy now, and

Opportunity for settlers.

SOOOAoAF y" .r- -
Says DR.. McGinnis Of st. Paul, in
speaking to the Pioneer Press regarding
opportunities for settlers IN the north
western country: "Another section of
North Dakota offers peculiar advantages
to settlers who desire to engage in mixed
grain and stock. raising. This is a re-
gion along the Missouri river from Fort
Buford to Fort Sully. The valley has a
pleasant winter and is quite we'll tim.
bered along the river. It is n of the
most prosperous stock raising regions in
the United States and many prosperous
farmers already have their homes estab-
lished along the banks of the Big Muddy.
Bismarck and Mandan are the QUILTING
points for this section on the Northern
Pacific and Willlston on the Great North
ern for the northwestern part Of the
state. Probably there is room for 5000
families more along the Missouri river,
and this section is bound tn grow rap
idly, well supplied as it is with shelter
from the bluff lands along the stream
and provided with timber and coal in
such abundance that every settler can
literally have his coal mine on his own
farm" Il

In Portland, Ore, a company has been
incorporated to engage in the buying and
slaughtering of horses and the preparing
Of their flesh for food, utilizing the oil,
bones, hair, etc, and making fertilizer Of
the ofal and refuse. The company has
already purchased about $500 horses,
and has options upon as many more.
The ~slaughtering will begin as soon as
the machinery can be put up. There will
be no scarcity of stock, as it is estimated
that there are fully 100000 horses run
ming wild in Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and Montana. The horse is a pachy-
dermatous or thick-skinned animal, but
It's skin is not so thick as that of the OK.
1t clings tightly to the flesh and cannot
be removed as the skin of a Illuminating
animal, OK or sheep can. It is as difficult
to get off as the skin of a hog. The skin
makes good leather, of it's kind, and the
oil is excellent for machinery; the long
hair of the tail is woven into haircloth
for upholsterlng chairs and sofas, and
lining women's skirts, and the name hair
is used for s%tuf6ng chairs and sofas. The
bones are good fer many things-but-
tons, knife-handles, bone-dust and char.
coal. In fact, every part of the animal
can be utilized. The incorporators will
endeavor to sell the horsefesh as food.
and to popularize it as such on the Pa.
cific coast.

SINS of omission as we'll as of commits
sion are justly charged against the Fifty
third congress-. In a spirit of picayune
economy congress cut down appropria-
lions for the federal courts far below the
estimated cost Of maintenance. The re-
suit is that there is now no money avail
able for the minor expenses of the courts.
Hundreds Of minor officials are distressed
because their pay is not forthcoming.
Witnesses who have been compelled to
attend and testify are told to wait for
their fees. The government of this great
and rich nation is thus posing as the
manager of a bankrupt show, remarks
the Washington Post, and is an oppressor
OF many Of the most needy of it's SER
wants. The court appropriations for the
next fiscal year are much lower than for
the current year, SO that, unless congress
comes to the rescue, the trouble, in ag-
gravated shape, will be on again in '96.

GEO. N. CoUDREY, who secured a judg-
ment of $4,000 against Schweinfurth
the Messiah, for alienation of his wife's
affections, made a demand upon him,
and in answer he received from Schwein-
furth a debtors schedule giving a list of
the bogus Messiah's possessions. The
sheriff appends to the return the
schedule, which is as follows:
"Three suits of clothes.
"One ulster o~vercoat.
"One spring overcoat.
Zone 2-year-old colt.
zone gold watch.
"Other necessary articles of wearing
apparel"
The debtor attaches no value to the
wearing apparel, but opposite the colt
and the gold watch he places the figures
s25 and $40 respectively. In truth, the
Messiah appears TO be hard up.

The division of the supreme court on

or even sympathy of opinion with the

emption of rents, concluded in May that
it must be held invalid as a whole. OF
the four Justices appointed by President
Harrison, Brewer and Shiras voted
against the law, but Brown and jackson
voted for it, and of the two justices ap-
pointed by President Cleveland one was
on each side, Chief Justice Fuller against
and Justice White for the law. Justice
Gray, appointed by President Arthur,
was against the law, but Justice Harlan,
appointed by President Hayes, was it's
most Incorporate supporter. Thus the
casting vote lay with Justice Field, who
was appointed by President Lincoln, and
Mr.. Lincoln, as it happened, approved
the income tax imposed during the war
of the rebellion. Nor is there the geo.
graphical division that might have been
expected. The justice from Michigan, q
state of much wealth, sided with three
southern justices in upholding the law,
while the justice from Kansas, the hot
bed of populism, sided with justices
from Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, fill
nois and California in overthrowing it.
The only tendency toward a sectional
division appears in the support given to
the act by all the justices from the
south, but mi of the three and the most
passionate was a republican and a Union
soldier.

YANKToN has adopted the curfew eys.
tenn of keeping children off the streets
evenings. The Press and Dakotan gives
the following interesting account of the
first evenings trial of the new order of
things: 'There we're scenes upon the
streets last evening funny enough to
those who counted their years beyond
sweet sixteen, but to the juvenile herd
the occasion was far too calamitous to
be a subject for jest or mirth. The
anger of young America was rampant
and ebullient. It seethed and foamed
and expended itself in chunks of wrath.
and smote the air with dynamite con-
cussions. 1t was the first night of the
enforcement of the new ordinance re-
curing Juveniles to vacate the streets
at 3 o'clock. The nocturnal
fully understood the situation and we're
boisterously rebellious. In their dis.
cussions among themselves they defed
the minions of the law and announced
their intention to ignore the regulation.
They gathered in a herd on Third street,
between Cedar and Douglas. This was
the situation when the city hall bell
tolled its Observation-Disclosures
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AS the
last stroke smote the air profound silence
ensued and the faces of the boys began
to exhibit dazed and uncertain ex-
pressions. Their courage was oozing
rapidly away. Then the chief of police
stepped from the shadow of a building
and stood in the electrical glare upon a
corner The boys hesitated but a mo-
ment and with one impulse swept
rapidly, compactly and silently down
Third street. AS distance between
themselves and the officer increased
their tongues began to loosen and as the
Juvenile mob rolled out of sight a sub.
dued roar went with them. By pre-
concerted arrangement they rallied in an
adjacent lumber yard and began to hold
a convention. Policeman Lagan had IN
formed himself of this intention and was
ambushed behind a pack of shingles.
When the proceeding we're we'll under
way he stepped forth and moved an
adjournment. Without putting the ques-
ton, the crowd broke and fled in al
directions. 1t was a complete stampede
and the forces did not rally again. Each
boy proceeded to bis home with his ban
ner trailing in the dust, glad enough for
the friendly cover of the parental roof.
Thus the first night of the experiment
passed. The streets were respectfully
orderly after they were cleared and the
boys were much better off at their homes
than abroad"
