TAYLoR's LONE HAND


MeKinley's refusal to go to the as
sistanee Of Taylor, the Republican
leader of Kentucky. has caused a great
deal Of speculation as TO his motive
and no little Indignation among Tay-
lor's following in Laurel county and
Louisville.
It has been suggested that tn presi-
dent was merely making an exhibition
of his spineless condition; or. that ne is
jealous of Taylor's ability so defy the
law and usurp authority; or. that he
cannot afford to make common cause
with the bandits and assassins with
which the Kentucky politician has sur
rounded himself.
Then, it has been intimated that the
president is inclined to be cautious in
dealing with the Frankfort situation
for fear that Taylor may take a notion
to declare Mr.. Mckinley illegally elect
ed and seize the presidential chair him
self-with the aid Of his mountain brig
ands, Of course.
There may be a tint Of truth in each
Of these suggestions. hut we rather sus-
pect that President Mckinley refused
to interfere in the Kentucky 'insurrec-
ton for the same reason that he dare
not offer to mediate in the affairs of
South Africa-he is quite busiIy en-
gagged with a little instruction Of his
own.

ing them back in the evening. with its
quaint touches Of Old-wOTld communion
with nature, forms an idyl OF genuine
and permanent value.
Careful study of documents and in
ScTiptiOns the world over has, of course,
given US truer notions Of ancient re-
ligiOns, and yet in one respect it has
added only confusion to our under
standing. When our knowledge de-
pended chiefly on one or two writer's
of the period who had written sys-
tematically on the subject, 1t was easy
to form a clear conception Of the re-
ligion az a consistent unity, but wider
information shows US that no such
unity ever existed. Religions grew up
naturally and were the result of many
diverse tendencies. more OF less crude
ly grouped together. So in Egypt every
nome, or province, had its peculiar
gods and ceremonies.
and when in the course Of time these
different currents Of belief flowed to-
gether to form what may be called the
Egyptian religion. the resulting dis
crepancies were never entirely oblit-
Grated. We know the names of a
great number of goes. and the attri-
butes of many are fairly we'll de1ned,
but Of a uniform system of belief we
have no knowledge. and, in fact, II
probably did not exist.
The Egyptians seem chiefly to have
wOrshiped the sun. and the highest

thinS else lend a mystery to the people
or the Nile The vast pyramids, the
solemn temples. the placid reiterated
forms Of sculpture, the Sphinx staring
out upon infinity-all these affect us
with the same awe Of magnitude and
long enduring time that aroused the
wonder of ancient travellers.
Even the written language Of the land
impresses US in the same way, and
there is no more romantic chapter in
the history Of scholarship than the de-
ciphering of the hieroglyphs. In 1899
one of NapoleOn'ss officers discovered at
Rosetta stone containing an inscrip-
ton in hieroplyphic and demotic writ
ing with a Greek translation, and the
attempt to decipher the Egyptian char
acters by means Of the Greek gave the
first real impulse TO the study. But
it remained for another Frenchman
Cosmopolitan, to find the key to these
strange signs, He began his study Of
the language in 1878 and in nine years
had laid the foundation of all that has
since been done.
The Egyptians employed three kinds
of writing-theArhi eroglyphic and the
hieTatic, used especially by the D tests.
and the demotic, of later origin and less
Importance, used by the people The
hielOglyphic is composed of pictures
and conventional signs, some of which
represent ideas and others mere sounds.
Thus, for instance. the picture of q vul-
ture is drawn to signify the wCrd, and
such a picture is called an telegraph.
The phonetic signs. on the other hand
form a sort of alphabet, and in a curl
Gus, primitive way. Thus the word for
lion (as in English) begins with L. and
accordingly the picture Of q lion Is

WILLIAMS DILEMMA.

II appears from dispatches printed

governed is Unuecessary-seems To he

REMEDIES PROPOSED.

It is not enough TO denounce trusts.
There must be a remedy proposed for
the evil And more. There must be
a disposition shown to apply that
remedy and to abate that evil. PIati-
tudes viii not suffice Neither viii it
do for any political party to go before
the American people in the coming
campaign, deploring the effect, yet up
holding the cause Of these unlawful
combinations OF capital in restraint of
trade.
The only remedy for the trust evil, -
says the antitrust conference, lis the
abolition Of legalized privileges Of every
kind. BY legalized privileges we mean
powers derived from law which some
persons or classes enjoy to the exclu-
sion Of others. and which, therefore,
create private m0nopolies''
Remedies are proposed in the address
issued. and the party that refuses to
take a stand against the granting Of
special privileges might as well endorse
the trusts openly and be done with it.
1t is in such privileges that trusts
i've, move and have their being" con-
tinues the address. we must get back
to the fundamental principles Of the
Declaration Of Independence, the prin-
eiple that all men are entitled to equal
rights under the law. There must be
no lesalized discrimination, and such
as now exists, whether by virtue of
laws regulating public policy, or Of
those directly creating privileges, must
be abrogated."
Getting as far away as possible from
the Declaration Of Independence and
as close as possible to the trusts has
been the aim. apparently, Of the Nc
kiniey administration for the last three
years.
But what Else could be expected Of a
party dominated by a man like Mark
Hanna?

CAMPAIGN ISSUES.

Hammond has left a few more Of those
shoes at half price--Grand Valley Times.
Our Moab contemporary drops no
hint as to whether the foregoing. taken
from its local column, is a business ad-
vertsement or a political note.
However, it may be little Of both.
and it is only fair to call the attention
Of Daniel Harrington and George Suth-
erland to the dark and devious poIiti-
cal methods probably employed by the
secretary OF state to their undoing.
These shoes are doubtless of the gum
variety and the very fact that they are
offered in remote corners of the state at
half price indicates that a gum shoe
campaign of uncertain dimensions NAV
be in progress at this very moment.
To be sure, there is zerchant in
Moab by the name Of Hammond. but
there is also a candidate for the Repub-
Hcan congressional nomination bv the
same name. Therefore it may be well
10 look into the matter with more than
a casual glance

gods were but names Of that luminaTy.
They were passing through the stage
Of what Max Muller has called heno-
theism, which is not exactly mOnOthe
ism. but the habit of addressing and
worshiping now one god and now an
ether as if he were supreme. especially
the sun-gOd. as there are hymns that
sound like the psalms Of Jehovah. But
beyond this henOtheistic state of mind
there comes to light at times a notion
Of the DEITY quite apart from these ma
tuTe-gOds Read, for instance, these
lines from a well known hymn:
God is One and Alone, and there is none
other with Him.
God is a spirit, a hidden Spirit, the Spirit
of Spirits
God is the Truth. He lives by Truth. He
lives upon Truth, He is the King Of
Truth.
God is compassionate 10 those that fear
Him and hears those who cry unto

Old Testament were probably due to
Egyptian influence, as. for example, the
custom Of holding swine's flesh as I'm

the moral precepts Of this ancient peo-
pie and in finding that as far back as
time goes morality is still the same

Sometimes these precepts were quite
separated from religion, and in general

we may say that the Egyptians were
more advanced in their moral than in
their religious ideas. Others Of their
maXims breathe true spirituality, as.
for example, this:
ITO obey is to love God. but to disobe,-
is TO hate Him."
And. thirdly. we may find interest in
this religion because, as HerodOtus
says The Egyptians were the first to
maintain that the soul of man is i'm
mortal. In a certain sense this state
ment is true, although il is not to be
supposed that the other peoples of the
world borrowed the doctrine of immor-
tally from the jewellers on the Nile.
The Egyptian notions concerning the
future are the result Of a couglomera-
ton OF various views, and are so con-
fused that 1t is impossible to give any
clear account OF them. Everybody
knows how careful the people were in
heWlng or building tOmbs-the pyra-
mlds ctand as witness to this-and in
embalming the dead. These tOnbs.
