CYPSIES PASSING AWAY.
komany Ryes Gradually Disappearing
From Civilizat on.

from Civiiizat on.
From the Troy Times.
The gradual disappearance and ex-
tinction OF that picturesque vagabond,
the genuine, simon-pure gypsy, has
caused much comment, but the reason,
Tor the dying out of the old race Is
somewhat difficult to find There are
PROBABLY more rowing, wandering vag-
abonds in the world TODAY than ever
before, but real .Romany is seldom
round even In England, where he for
merly hourished. In this country real
gypsies were never numerous, and are
to-day less so than ever before. They
are occasionally met with, but the
bands are either very small or are COM
posed of horse-trading scamps and for
tune-telling takers" who have not a
drop of Romany blood in their veins.
In the old days the gypsy impressed
himself and his personality on the lit
erature and the art Of the countries in
which he roamed. 1t was a poor novel
that did not Introduce a gypsy fortune
teller, and a poor play that did not
have, at least, one child stolen by
the gypsies, while the artists fairly
reveled in studies and sketches OF gyp-
sy maidens. But the gypsies Of to-
day do not indulge in any child-steal-
ing proclivities, although they occa-
sionally make a bluff" at telling for
tunes. AS for the children, they usu-
ally have enough of their own not to
bother their heads and risk their lib
erty by stealing those of other people.
A band of gypsies which appeared in
the province of Quebec the other day
actually tried to sell their own chill
dren. arguing that times were so poor
that they were no longer able to pro-
vide for the little ones. So IL can read
lily be seen that the day of the gpysy
is past. II he ever had any usefulness
he has long ago outlived II.

HE'S OFF AGAIN.
Dunraven shows His Face to the Crowd
and Goes Home.


New York, Dec. 2s.-Lord Dunraven
and his friend. Arthur Glennie, sailed
this afternoon on board the Umbria for
England. In answer to questions by
an associated press reporter. Lord
Dunraven said: "I really don't wish to
talk" Glennie was a little more COM
municative. and when asked what was
the occasion of Dunraven's sudden de-
parture, said: It's a very sad end
ing"
Glennie did not feel inclined to quail
ify or define this statement when urg-
ed He said there were only two men
left behind in New York to look after
the interests of Lord Dunrayen, name
ly: Lawyer Asquith and Secretary
Hamilton. The reporter asked Glennie

submitted. The reply was. You can't
expect Lord Dunraven to speak before
the committee when he is on the ocean,
and as to my testifying; well, I'll be

THERE appeared during the past week
a communication in one Of the daily pa
pers in regard to having a woman under
taker at the morgue to care for the dead
bodies of females. The communication
was occasioned by what the writer terms
"the indignities permitted upon the dead
body OF Miss Cling" The request for such
a person at the morgue seems to be per-
fectly fair and in keeping with the &C.
cepted ideas of propriety and decency.
While the writer may be too sensitive as
to what constitutes improprieties and in
dignities, there appears to be no good
reason why woman undertaken could
not be provided for. There are thousands
of women in city who, If any accident
or misfortune should befal them as did
thu unfortunate Catherine Cling, would
necessarily be carried to the morgue.
It might be we'll therefore to have q
woman at the morgue to see that the
bodies of euob persons are cared for and
prepared for burial. While the matter is
not material, yet since sentiments Of pro
pretty aressuch an important factor n
our civilization, it is worthy of considera-
ton.

WITH tho death of Frederick Douglass
one OF the most striking and important
personages of slavery days has passed
away. He was born slave, the child of
a negro slave woman and white man.
He fed from M ary :and to Massachusetts
and was assisted in getting an education
by the noted orator and ebolitionist,
VIM. Lloyd Garrison. From 1840 until
the outbreak of the Civil War he was
engaged in lecturing on slavery in this
country and England and during the
time wrote several books and pamphlets.
Since the war he has held several posi-
tions under the United States govern
ment. His last public service was in tie
capacity of minister to nayti. He was q
man of far more than ordinary ability
and certainly of more than ordinary ex-
perience.

THERE is measure before the Massa-
chusetts legislature, and We believe, be
fore that of some other states, prohibit
ing the display of the Il g Of any foreign
nation on any public school or building
excepting only when distinguished for.
eigner is the guest of the state or nation,
says the Boston PAlot. The intention
presumably is to prevent .the flying of
the green flag on any public building on
St. Patrick's day, and if that prohibition
gives comfort to anybody, no disclaimer
loan will care a great deal, oae way or
the other, as long as the wearing of the
green is allowed on the battlefield as it
was at Aneletatn, Marye's Heights and
fredericksburg. But what if somebody,
with the fine casuisty Of Commissioner
Millet at the Worlds Fair, should raise
the point that Ireland is not natiop,and
has no national flag? In that case the
green banner might be hoisted without
breaking the proposed law. Mr.. Repre-
sentative Young, of Springfield, Will
have to amend his DILL so as to prohibit
the color itself, thing which might, if
strictly construed, keep him and other
green legislators out of public sight alto
gether.

IT appears that the Ramsey county
delegation made q mistake when they
trusted to the Nelson forces to help out
the Capitol bill. At this time it appears
that the oppo 1ents of the bill will simply
exhaust the session without allowing any
definite action. st. Paul may even lose
the capitol. There is moro truth in the
talk about the Exposition building than
some of the Ramsey men would wish.
Whatever may be the merits of the ques-

LORD SCULLY, an Irish aristocrat, has
recently purchased in the state of Ne
brasks tract of rich agricultural land
With the purpose OF establishing his feu-
dali landlord system in that common
wealth, says The Northwestern Catholic.
He has taken title in the name OF lady
relative for the purpose Of evading the
provisions of the law against alien land
ownership. The Legislature of Nebraska,
now in session, ought to be able to devise
some legislation to defeat the vulgar
wiles of alien landlordism. Better the
grasshopper, the prairie fire, the drought;
better thousand times the ills of poll
tics, OF plaques and OF prairie fires than
the blighting curse of alien landlordism.
It has been the vampire that sucked the
blood of every people who we're base
enough to tolerate it. It has swept the
rural popu alton nut of English valleys
into the slums of the manufact lring cit
les; it led to the great sanguinary revo-
luton in France; 1t is sending countless
thousands Of Italians across the ocean;
and it has converted the soil If Ireland
into plague spot, q poor house, will
derness and sepulchre. The people of
Nebraska must resist it. first by every
method that is known to American law;
and If their legislators and their courts
prove faithless, they must "clean it OUT
by those summary processes which are
unprecedented in the higher law;in those
reserved rights contemplated by the
American constitution. By the patriots
blood that was shed by the founders and
saviours of the republic; by every sacred
obligation that we owe to posterity, the
feudal landlord system must never be
naturaliz I'd in America.

AMERICAN JINGOISM.

It must be an object of great pleasure
to PRESIDENT Cleveland to sec his policy
in regard to Hawaii 80 emphatical]y sus'
lined at this early date. What about
annexation now? What about the Chris
tt m patriots of that dear republic? Is
it possible that Lodge, Hoar, Frye, Bou'
telle & Co., have nothing whatever to say
of the latest phase of the Hawaiian cues
ton. Is it not too bad that the United
States is not mixed up 10 the present
difficulty? The Christian patriots who
with the aid of United States troops
overthrow the government of the Queen
simply from religious and philanthropic
sentiments, have perfect right to cut
off the heads of rebels who resist the
onpidity of Christians who are stealing
the best land and best industries of the
natives. And on top OF all this to CONF
pletely upset the thunder of the Ameri-
can Jingoes, the Queen abdicates, re-
nounces all claim to the throne from
which she was forced by the chaste
Christians who said lii. was unchaste and
not fit to rule, although they admitted
that four-ffths Of the people were salts
fed with her rule.
When the Queen was talking about
beheading those who had plotted against
her the American Jingoes set up yell
of horror, but now that their Christian
proteges are talking about beheading
the Queen they are silent. President
Dole has further unnerved his admirers
by offering to cede to Great Britain an
island for the location of an ocean cable
station, with the privilege of keeping q
British garrison there. How ungrateful
it is for the young republic to thus court
monarchy! President Dole ought to
have foreeeen that. his actions would
completely set at naught all that the pa
triotic American shriekers had said
against President Cleveland's policy.
Dole has even threatened to shoot Amer
icsn citizens as rebels, and yet Hoar
Boutelle & Co. dare not say g word. We
do not hear word now about the Ha-
swaian blunders of Cleveland and Gresh-
am. Again the poitical enemies Of
Grover Cleaysland by their silence admit
that his ce,fa and, fair dealing has
