Aureras in the Arctlc Rerions.

The light was lessening day by day,
though the beauty of this ice world
did not wane. | think / never felt tho
strength, tho glory, of silence so
wildly as on tho Goth of the month,
standing on a rocky height above the
bay. Across the heaven beautiful
auroras stroamed at frequent intervals
in colora of faint orange, green and
blue, scarcely dimnIing the myriads of
brilliant stars that glittered in tho
deep blue vault, which lightened to
turquoise ut the horizon. Majestic
cliffs swept away across the bay, with
its. shadowy greonish- Elue bergs, all
bathed in ono shimmoring veil Of
transparent gold from the light of tho
moon. In a silence that made tho
beating of the heart and the pusation
OF the blood in the veins seem almost
audible, was suddenly attracted BY u
peculiar, occasional cracking sound.
Presently tho sound came very near,
and, turning, ! perceived yoilowish-
white object, about three feet in
length, steadily approaching. Tho
little creature gradually circled bout,
until it paused about 10 feet away.
As j had remained motionless, its
curiosity led 1T to sit down upon its
launches and deliberately stare at mo.
Twice 1t seated itself, and then, run
ming behind boulder. peoped over tho
edge, until, satisfied or alarmed, it
disappeared. 1t WAS an Arctic fox

Ceremony of Receiving an Ambassador.

The ceremony observed in receiving
a minister is briefly this: On day
appointed by the President the new
minister drives with his secretaries
and attaches to tho State Department,
and is thence escorted by the Secretary
OF State to the Executive Mansion and
conducted to the Blue Room. The
Secretary thon goes to Presidents
Office and advises him that the min
ister is in waiting. Tho President, on
the arm OF tho Secretary, then proceeds
to the Bluo Room, and, tho minister
and bis suite standing, the secretary
introduces the minister, who, after
bowlng, proceeds to read his address,
and at the proper tirno hands to the
President his letters Of credence,
which are immediately passed to the
Secretary of State. When the address
of the minister has been road tho
President reads his reply, and after
tcw moments spent in entirely informal
conversation retires with the Secretary,
who, returning, conducts the minister
from tho Executive Mansion. -Ladios'

that has been passed by the legisla

years against the corporations which
has not been set aside by the supreme
court in the interest of plutocracy?
Come, speak out. If there has been
anything of the kind we will apollo.
gize. We want to get at the facts.
If these things be true, then indeed
are we plutocracy and not a repub-
lie. A silent revolution has taken
place in the nature of our govern.
ment and we are no longer freemen,
but helpless subjects-liable to all the
exactions which unrestrained greed
may demand.
We have not had free market for
our wheat, corn, barley, meat, lum-
Der, kerosene, coal, ETC., in this state
for many years. Powerful combi-
nations, behind the scenes, fix the
prices of what we sell and what we
buy.
We are neither more nor less than
slaves. They do not sell us on the
auction block, because it is easier to
strip us Of the fruits of our industry
and let us starve, than to be obliged
to feed us in youth and old age as
was the case in the days of negro
slavery.
Well, what shall we do? Shall we
submit supinely and sink into help
less wretchedness?
No; thousand times, no! We out
number our plunderers ten to one.
We lave inherited the machinery of
self-government from our ancestors.
We belong to the fighting races of
the world, while our enemies re pill
fererers and sneak thieves who des-
troy us with pen and an ink-bottle
through the trickeries of the law.
They Cypress us through the ignor-
ance and the prejudices of our friends
and neighbors. We must educate our
fellow-men and release them from the
dominion of the money power. How?
BY books and newspapers and con-
versations and public meetings and
clubs and leagues, and everyother in
strumentality within your reach.
Don't rest friends while poor, hon
est man, within ten miles of you, is
thd tool of plutoeracy. Talk it over
with him; explain it to him; lend him
your books and papers; work unceas-
ingly. Remember you are working for
yourself, your children and your chill
dren's children-and you are working
to preserve liberty on the earth and
to prevent degradation, wars, anar-
chy and universal destruction.

NO INDIAN WARS in CANADA.
Tho United States Contracted with tho
! Dominion-A British View.


Dominion-A British View.
I The great fact stands boldly forth
that Canada has never fought the In
dians, and she will not begin to do SO
now. Never has Canada had an Indian
war; an Indian massacre is unknown in
the annals of her history. She is too
poor to seek glory by slaughtering the
natives born of her soil and too proud
to defame her character or stain her
escutcheon. Contrast with this, says
the Westminster Review, the policy of
the United States, that is nearly al
ways fighting its red men. Indian wars
are very expensive matters to deal
with. The small episode Of last year,
beginning with the Messiah craze and
ending with the tragedy at Pine Ridge
agency, covering but few weeks, cost
the United States government $2,0oO.-
900, besides the lives lost, and in adj
dition unsettled the natives through
out the country. It is to the credit of
The Canadian Indians that, although
sorely tempted, the Messiah craze had
no charms for them. There was in
Canada, it is true, Riel's last rebellion,
that cost Canada $7,0Oo,O0O and the
lives of some of her noblest citizens.
But that was not an Indian uprising.
Nevertheless, it taught both the white
men and the rcd men q lesson. 1t
taught Canada that itwould be cheaper
to ration all the Indian tribes than to
have another rebellion; and it taught
the Indian the prowess of the authori-
ties, and this was emphasized by the
trips given the Indian chiefs to On
tario, where they beheld tokens of the
power, wealth and glory of the white
men.

Philadelphia, March 24.-The finding
of the body of a young and pretty
woman at No. 1926 Girard avenue, Mon
day night, after she had been dead for
"a hours, was followed Tuesday by the
arrest of Samuel p. Langdon, president

and the young woman, whose name, it
was learned Tuesday, is Miss Annie Nc
Grath and aged Is years, had lived to-
gether in the house as man and wife for
over month. Langdon is a man Of
prominence, and is 35 years of age. The
cause of Miss McGrath's death is not
known. Bertha Stewart, a colored
servant girl at the dwelling, who dis
covered the body, was also arrested

case is shrouded in mystery and tho
police are very reticent on the subject.

Republic or plutocracy Which?

Ignatius Donnehy, in his able
paper, the Representative, thus ans.
wers correspondent who objected
to the declaration that our govern
ment is now more plutocracy than
republic:
What is a plutocracy? This is how
Webster defines it:
Plutocracy-A form of gov eminent
in which the supreme power is lodged
in the hands of the wealthy classes;
government by the rich: also a con-
trolling or influential class of rich
men.
Well, if that does not describe our
condition what will?
Has not the Supreme court of the
United States, selected by the corpor-
ations, reversed it's rulings for a hun
dred years, and decided that you can
not tax tue wealthy class by levy
on their incomes?
Is not the United States Senate
simply club of millionaires or their
attorneys?
Are not our elections controlled by
the the contributions of the rich?
See the contest of 1894 in this state,
where $4,000 were raised that we
know Of; and $780, 900 of this were do
mated by railroad companies; and an
other immense sum was paid by the
lumbermen, through the surveyor
generals of logs and lumber.
Does not national bank weigh
more in public affairs than a county?
Can man be elected to congress in
this country, at this time, in open OPP
position to the money power?
Do they not own nearly all the
daily newspapers?
Have they not deprived the labor
ing people of this nation of the right
to unite to defend their rights by
blanket injunctions,. to prohibit them
from striking; and by sending their
officers to prison without trial by
jury or the right to the writ of habeas
corpus?
Does not money VIGOROUSLY con-
troll our popular elections, and our
legislators after they are elected, and
our courts o.nullify what what may
