Jingoes No Longer Rampant

The administration plods along in the
path marked out by its predecessor in
Cuban affairs. The senate caldron has
ceased to boil and, the fumes of bloody
war no longer torment the nostrils.
The secret Of this change lies in the fact
that stirring the fires of jingoism in the
senate no longer serves to roast Cleve-
land. That his policy still holds good is
of no account; it could not be changed
in any event. But March 4th cut Off

THE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS

The times are ripe for the Democratic
party, the rank and file as we'll as the
leaders, to begin the work of reuniting
its forces upon the broad, nd we'll defined
lines of Jeffersonian and Jacksonian
principles of government Nothing is
surer than that the present congress will
lead the country so far away from the
purpose of the founders of the govern
ment in its effort to broaden and deepen
and strengthen the plutocratic senti-
ment which governmntal favoritism has
planted in the hearts and minds of the
very wealthy that the rights, yea, the
sovereignty itself, of the masses will be
threatened.
The calling Of congress in extraordi-
nary session, for which there was NOT so
much as thread of valid reason, was
the first step in the consummation of a
conspiracy to subject the great produc-
ing class to economic legislation that
shall make its brain, it's muscle and its

a favored few, and to its own degrada-
ton. Congress- which is overwhelming-
ly Republican, and subservient to the
dictation of two or three tyrannical
leaders. is at this moment engaged upon
bill to enable the government to indi-
rectly collect money from the masses
The tariff act of 1890 was bold effort to
put the masses upon the treadmill of de-
pendence. but it is not to be compared
to the arbitrary plundering of the people
which the tariff act just adopted by con-
gress provides for
1t matters not whether the manjnu-
lators of the proposed new tariff sched-
ules say their ultimate purpose is reva~
nue. for the government, or for the EN-
couragement of American industries:
the fact remains that the ultimate pur-
pose is to compel the masses to pay ex-
orbitant prices for the necessaries of
life, without adding a penny to their
compensation for the use Of their skill
and labor. The spirit of the new tariff
bill is to levy taxes upon the people
taxes that will amount to quite ss a year

woman and child in all this broad land
to give extraordinary profits to the gov
ernments favorites that plutocracy may
take deeper and firmer root in the soil
of the peoples industry, and that the
line which separates those who absorb
the nations increasing wealth from
those who produce it may be widened,
and deepened. The Dingley bill does not
say in so many words that it intends to
do these things, but it will accomplish
them, and more, too.
1t is because the Republican party
has so warmly and energetically es-
poused the cause Of the classes that the
Democracy should throw differences to
the wind and unite and defend the rights
of the people and the integrity of the
government. The time has come when
Democrats should put aside individual
isms and theories and plant
themselves squarely upon the ba-
sic principles of the party which
are government for the general
good of all The people without discrimi-
nation or favoritism. And, above all,
that principle of Democracy should be
adhered to which denies the right of con-

A BOAT $500 YEARS OLD.

A Viking craft found in Norway some
time ago was in use about the year 1000
A. d., and at once became famous as by
far the oldest specimen of water craft in ex-
istence The boats in the Gizeh Museum,
it was decided by the learned, were used
at least 1900 years ago, and were contem-
poraneous with the Dashur pyramids OF
the eleventh Egyptian dynasty.
With this boat and the two which re-
main in the Cairo museum were two more,
which still rest in the sands which stretch
desolately from the Dashur pyramids, near
which they were found.
The five boats were found buried at a
considerable depth not far from the famous
pyramid, and in such orderly form and
with such mathematical relationship to the
great pile of stone that it was evident that
they had been buried with design at that
particular spot.
The boats were found to be alike in the
material of which they were constructed
and in their general dimensions. The ce.
dar of antiquity, which entered into so
much of the construction of things of wood
was used in building these boats. While
the equipments of the boats had generally
disappeared with time, their shapely out
lines still remained.
The boat that is in Chicago now was pro-
badly better preserved than any. 1t is
thirty feet long, eight feet of beam, and
four feet of hold. \ well-preserved and
peculiarly marked and designed piece OF
rudder of wood was found near the boats.
