1t was Sancho Panza's venerable ma
ternal parent who made the profound
reelection that the world was divided
between those who have, and those
who have not, and no doubt Sancho
Panzas mamma was not the first dis
Coverer of his reconcile bit of philoso-
ply, and she certainly is not, will not
be the last. There is ever a struggle
between the two classes-those who
had in primeval times had the choicest
hunting lands became the envied Of
those who were only occasionally able
to capture a mammoth or cave bear.
Later those who had the best pasture
lands were worried by those who had
not, still later those who had the most
fertile fields, and even Naboth's vine
yard or Uriah's spouse became objects
of envy, while in very modern times
we are perhaps no longer ehvious of
hunting grounds, pastures, fields, vine
yards or spouses, but concentrate our
efforts upon political power. And in
every country on this round globe the
struggle for political supremacy goes
on. 0i'
Thus we have in Great Britain the
Liberals and CONSERVATIVES, in France
the Republicans, the Legitimists, the
Imperialists, in Belgium the Liberals
and the Clericals in Germany the Ag-
raricons and the Socialists, in Russia
the Tchin and the Nihilists, in Turkey
the young and the old Turks, in the
United States the Republicans and the
Democrats, and in our favored Terri
tory a supply of Home Rulers Mon
archists, Anarchists, and all the ans,
ats, ers and lists that the world is blest
or curst with. Each and every one of
the above come under the divisions
which Sancho Panza's maternal guide
Sketched out for him. Each either has
or has not. The one that has is salts
fled that it is doing its best for the for
tunes of the people, ana that which
has not is convinced that only the has
nOts can set things straight, and eau
bring true happiness into the world
This struggle has been going or

on through centuries more of it, unit

During the investigation made by the
Committee of the Senate, an investiga-
ton which is still in progress, it has
been interesting to note how these lido
syncracies of the human mind come
forth. The Have Nots and the HAYES
give certainly very different views up
on the affairs of the Territory, and
each has its Special remedies. 1t is
most interesting to watch those who
come forward to testify. After getting
