From the revelations now being made of
the state of affairs in the British army and
some Of the demoralizlng influences pervad-
ing 1t, it is slight wonder that the small
army Of the Beers kept up successful re-
sistance so long and that British prestige
suffered so severely in the struggle with
the little republicss The savagery revealed
in the most aristocratic regiment is a spirit
which accounts for much formerly incom-
prehensible.

Philadelphia Press,

Some of our democratic contemporaries
are fussing around a great deal about their
party's next presidential nomination just
as II 1t were a question of some human in
terest. AS long as Organism fingers in the
mind of the country the democracy won't
make any trouble, and by the time that is
forgotten the party can be relied upon to
hit itself a whack with something else.

abated now that the new an%ti-rebate

then not wanting it after it has come

A delegation of the so-called Interna-
tional Steel and Copper Plate Printers
association, which occupies in organized
labor he position of the three tailors
OF Tooley street who claimed to speak
for the whole population Of London, has
spontaneously arisen as one man to
recommend David II. Mercer to the post
of director Of the United States census.
1t will be remembered that the same
order Of international plate engravers
ventured to inject itself into the con-
gressional campaign of this district last
fall as voicing the sentiment Of organ
lied labor, while every trades union In
Omaha was solidly arrayed in opposi-
ton to Mercer. Why the international
copper plate scratchers should interest
themselves so much in 2 man who is
not known to have held any relation to
the copper plate engraving business in
or out of congress is a mystery that no
fellow can find out. The only Inference
to be drawn from the incident is that
the three copper plate tailors at some
period or other were favored with an
order for one Of Dawes magnificent por
traits In metal at the expense Of Uncle
Sam.

That all the white people are not bad

thought In our great law, that neither
slavery nor involuntary servitude
should exist in this country. So much
of the fruits Of the war, at least, we
thought was secure, yet for years this
peonage form of slavery has existed in
the South. The upright people there
have seen it growing both in extent
and boldness. They have dep1ored it,

against it. But the system is based

THE NEGRO.
The Negro in Revelation, in History,
kjn; 53; ;>,, s.: St: s. Louis: N: 3: THOMPSON
This book is written along original lines.
It is written in the spirit of the broadest
humanity and patriotism. It is we'll cal
culated to promote good-feeling and
between white and black The fact is
recognized that they are neighbors-that
they occupy the same country. and will
occupy it for generations to come---that a
mutual understanding and a mutual good
will will best serve the interests of both.
It will impress the Afro-American man
and the Afro-American boy with the pos
sibilitfes Of achievement: The book gives
an array of success in life reached by rep
resentative Afro-Americans that will not
fail. to raise the standard and kindle the
and boy. It will likewise serve to i'm
press the white reader with the vast
strides made by the Afro-American since
| the emancipation. This achievement is
! such as to win for him universal respect
and a universal confidence in his future.
1t is written from the standpoint of
affection and goodwill for the race. The
association of the name of Gen. John B.
Gordon, by way of introduction, whose
services as governor of his state, as
United States senator, as distinguished
general, has won admiration and uni
versal regard, is a guarantee of the great
character and high purpose of the book
1t is book not only for the Afro
American but for the Caucasian. Its
revelations will be a source of agreeable
astOnishment to him.

THE ARCHERY OF SAMARA.
The Archery of Sanara, BY Henry lilo
VIII. $3.50. Philadelphia: Henry T..
Coates & Co.
Mr.. niowizi we'll remembers the terrible
treatment of the Poles during their last
revolt and says he has been an eyewit-
ness Of most Of the incidents narrated in
his romance. He writes with the bitter
ness that comes of suffering: 1.-THE Tar
tar enthrOned in st. Petersburg is the
dragon that holds the half of two CONT
nents between his terrific iron jaws, ready
to crush him who dares to put a straw in
his way. Darkest Russia is not
limited to the confines of the pale; it COW
ers an empire where the sun never sets,
peopled by 100, 900, 900 Of beings who be-
long soul and body to the czar. It is an
unwieldy mass of heterogeneous humanity
in various stages of degradation. at least
forty kiSds Of religionists hating each
other and all hating the police and the
army
These sentiments form the undercurrent
of the book and are in strange contradic-
tion to what has been written Of late re-
garding Russia and the policies of reform
adopted. They are in keeping, however,
with the latest newspaper accounts of the
persecution of. the Jews, which cannot be
surpassed in barbarity. The book lis a
timely contribution to current literature.
