THE REPUBLICANS have had undis-
puted power in the present US. House
of Representatives, by means, not only
of the rules of that body, but by their
overwhelming majority. In it they
have been monarchs of all they survey,
and their right there has been none to
dispute; no man could say them nay or
make them afraid. They promised the
ignorant and stupid voters who were
foolish enough to be gulled by them
that they would enact such measures
as would make every thing lovely and
the goose hang high, not only in the
palaces of the rich, but in the shanties
ofevery poor man in the country; that
all business would be revived and the
sound OF active industry be heard
throughout the land, and that every
thing would wear roseate hue. But
what has been the real result? The
rich. to be sure, have not suffered, but
there is no goose to hang either high or
low in the poor mans house, and the
owner of that house is lucky If 1t De
not mortgaged; business is more De,
pressed than it was last year, instead OF
the sounds of active industry, COM
plant of enforced idleness and OF
poverty and distress are heard every
where, and pail of darkness, rather
than of rosy tints, seems to shadow
both the present and the future. Prices
of the farmers products are low enough
but the people have no money with
which to buy them,i and, what's more,
don't see how or when they can get
anv. But though taxes are oppressive
already, the republican members OF the
House go on making enormous appro'
priations for totally unnecessary pur'
poses, and, by large majority, support
the nomination of man for President
for the sole reason that he favors higher
taxes on almost every thing poor people
have TO buy, by increasing the tariff
duties.

ALABAMA REPUBLIcANs.-The re-
publicans of Alabama held two State
conventions at Montgomery yesterday,
One, the Mckinley convention, adopt
ed ringing anti-free silver and pro-
lection platform and determined to put
a straightout republican ticket in the
field, headed by Gen. ]. W. Burke, of
Calhoun, q high class republican. The
other, composed of all the anti-McKin-
ley factions, adopted platform declar-
ing that all other issues in Alabama
were subservient to one-fair elections
and, therefore, all issues excepting
this were aVoided in the platform.
Sound money and protection are not
referred to in it. A resolution was
adopted by the anti-McKinley forces
that the republicans fuse in this years
State elections with the populists, al
lowing the latter to name the nomi-
nee for Governor and dividing the
balance of the State ticket between the
parties. The idea is to cooperate with
the populists and secure fair elections
in Aiabams.

Hamlet and Hysteria.

Hamlet learns from Horatio and his
companions of the apparition of his ia
TIERS spirit. His prophetic soul already
presages foul play, and through the
darkness of his suspicious now rises the
blood red sun of revenge. Up to this
point Hamlet has been a perfectly sane
and rational young man. In the meet
ing with the ghost, again, there is moth
ing abnormal in his attitude-he is over
come with awe on beholding his fathers
spirit in arms. and is prepared to follow
him regardless of perils. In the second
ghost scene Hamlet is overwhelmed
with grief and Indignation on learning
of the infamy by which his father met
his death. To the actor this is a scene of
intense and prolonged excitement, more
exhausting. because pent up, than per-
haps any other passage in the whole
play.
I have sometimes asked myself, with
that second consciousness Of the actor.
whether thus to waste ones vital force
could have any c~ompensating effect upon
the audience, for Hamlet's eyes are fixed

element is lost upon them. but never
theless conclude that it Is necessary for
the actor to undergo this strain of self
excitation In order to reach that condi-
ton of hysterla which overcomes Ham
let after the ghost S departure. Here.
again, Hamlet. it seems to me, behaves
Just as any highly wrought young man
would behave on hearing of the terrible
fate which had befallen a beloved ia
Their. He is all on fire to, sweep to his
revenge with wings as swift as medita-
ton or the thoughts Of love. But the fire
Is too fierce-it perforce burns itself
ont. And here tie actor should make
clear 10 the audience that physical ex-
haustion prevents Hamlet from carrying
out the impulse OF his mind7-the weak
ened physical machine is, as it were,

Lecturns, or reading desks, came into
use at an early date. There is frequent
mention of them in ancient writings
and representations of them in ancient
vignettes. They We're placed in the cen
ter of choirs in large ecclesiastical build
ings as early as the seventh century, and
the cboristers were arranged in rows III
the right and left Of them. They are Of
various forms. but the eagle is intro
duced in a very large number. With out

made to serve the purpose of supporting
the framework ON which the large and
heavy volumes used in the services were
placed. There was. probably, some ref
erence in the thoughts of those who first
used them to the fact that the eagle
scared to the most elevated regions, and,
therefore, in a fanciful way, would be
likely to carry the words of the readers
or choristers nearer to heaven than they
might otherwise ascend.
In some instances the inclined frame
work on the back of the bird was made
to accommodate two books, one above
the other, and furnished with movable
brackets TO light the reader. Frequently
the eagle is represented standing Oh an
orb, and sometimes on a dragon, and
the base of the stem on which it is
placed is often raised on lions. A more
simple form, without the introduction
of the eagle, consists of an inclined
book board raised to a convenient height
on a stem. Next to this are examples
that have two slanting book boards,
which meet at their upper edges like a
roof. and there are others with clever
groupings of four desks or book boards.
These are generally made Of oak or some
other hard wood. They nearly all turn
on pivots, and some of them are enrich
ed with much carving. Sometimes tine

Approved April 4th, 1898.
The amendment in itself admits
of no doubt as TO the duty and
power of the Governor, but there
arc several questions, and perhaps
conflicting constitutional require
ments, WHICH makes it necessary
to have the highest court tribunal
in the State pass upon it. In any
event, the democratic party of this

dates to one man as soon as posi-
bic, and thus be ready for the APP

The death of Dr.W, j. Matthews,
representative elect Of st. Francis
county, makes it necessary to
choose his successor. 1t has been
thought that the democrats of the
county should go into q primary
election and thus agree upon a
suitable and representative man TO
be recommended TO the Governor
for appointment This, itseems TO
us, is the proper course, though it
now turns out that there is some
uncertainty as to the right and
power of the Governor to make the
appointment. In order TO test the
constitutional amendment, which
authorizes the Governor to fill all
vacancies, he ordered an election
10 be held in this county on Octo-
Der II. The sheriff refusing TO
comply, the Attorney-General came
over yesterday and applied to the
circuit court for q mandamus upon
the sheriff requiring him TO hold
said election. To this the sheriff
filed q demurrer ard asked the
court to sustain him, which it did.
The matter was then appealed TO
the Supreme Court, with the hope
10 have it settled within ten days.

which was adopted at tho election
IN 1891, authorizing and requiring
The Governor to fill all vacancies
by appointment, is as follows:

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

An exceedingly important and salts
factory decision is that handed down
by the supreme court Of the United
States requiring a witness, in cases
arising under the interstate commerce
act, to testify, Notwithstanding his plea
that he cannot be compelled to incrim-
mate himself. The subject involves lit
igation Of long standing, and the en-
fcrcement of two acts of congress.
When it was attempted to carry into
effect the provisions of the original in
terstate commerce act, relating to rea-
sonableness of rates, and prohibiting
combinations by railroads against the
public interest, the courts at once
struck a difficulty in the refusal of
witnesses to testify. Officials and
agents of the railways complained of,

ANOTHER BIG MONOPOLY

By all odds the most important
agency in modern life, and that one
whose development is being extended
most rapidly, is electricity as CONNER
cially applied. The greater part of our
new inventions are some species of
electric appliances, and it is admitted
universally that the simplifcation and
perfection of electrical devices con-
stitute a large part of the mechanical
and industrial progress of the future.
The Importance of maintaining free
competition in this great department
of life is obvious. The enormous trib-
ute that can be levied upon the public
by any combination of the owners of
patents of electrical devices, who are
also engaged in furnishing electrical
