Not so. What there was at first came

OUR CIVILIZATION.


It is strange conglomerate, like the
feet OF Nebuchadnezzar' image-part
iron and part miry clay. Our politics
ostensibly democratic; our Industrial
ism monarchial The two cannot long
er exist side by side Our system must
conquer the other.
We are getting reputation in Eu-
rope that some think very desirable.
We are said to be great fighters, and
to be in favor of gold basis money. One
repute is about as up-to-date as the
other.
Our aristocracy is reaching that point
OF fright long ago reached by the
doomed nobility of Britain. Our House
of Lords know that they must go, and
are trying various methods to prove
that they have right to be- Hence
the Astor and Roosevelt efforts in the
tented field. Rough riding or running
Or shooting in Cuba is no logical proof
that their ancestors had divine right
OF cntailed squatter sovereignty on
Manhattan. The american Fabian
said the best thing about the Rough
Riders, viz: All healthy young ami
mails love to fight, so Roosevelt's gang
deserve no special consideration. Max
ing Roosevelt political victor is a
disgrace to our civilization.
Roosevelt is strutting under "The
Red Badge Of Courage Nonsense!
Same old bloody shirt!
How superior are we to the people Of
Spanish town, who, wishing to start
Society for Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, raised the money by bull
fight?
Those lesser robbers, Tweed and
Fisk, took short cut to popularity, by
distributing much of their plunder to
the populace direct. At this present
writing two OF the most popular rob-
bers are Jesse James Jr., and c. NJ. De-
pew.
But what could be expected in this
land, after the barbarities of the slave
holders rebellion and those OF the
bankers, in 1862, '73, 81 and 90?
Some of us are proud of our great
cities, and boast of their size. They
are the despair of civilization, and need
to be abated by counter attractions or
small, model cooperative centers.

civilization. When I see him | see the

apostrophe of Thomas Carlyle, quoting
from memory over stretch OF years:
"And We who still toll on in the monster

Our "great statesmen" are not discuss
ing such little things as labor rights.
The corrupt New York Sun has lucid
intervals" and qualms of conscience. 1t
is quoted thus, February, 1899: THE
press, the rank and file of the daily press
of the whole United States, is stifled with
lies., Never in the history of civilization
was there such debauchery of the press,
such an intimidation of fa1sehood and
frauds. The whole quality Of the news it
gets is debased, perverted and injected, as
necessarily it would be, having passed
through the hands of swindlers."

Last night set the circus ball a-roll-

rings and a platform did all in their
power to make the audience crOss-eyed

From time immemOrial the Fore
paugh show has been noted for the sur
passing excellence of its trained ami
mails. Last night the circus lived up to
its reputation. From the trained seals
TO the educated elephants the animals
seemed clever enough to be college
graduates. In this respect, at least, the
Forepaugh is far ahead of the Barnum
show. The grand triumphal entree was
