RULED By AN oLEGARCHY.
And President Roosevelt Is Its
Ally, Though 1t Does Not
Agree With Him.
Harper's Weekly.

Harper's Weekly.
At the end of his second session
of Congress Mr.. Roosevelt has hardly
any sincere friends in Congress.
The party machine is the machine
is the most perfect that we have
ever seen. 1t governs absolutely,
and its DEGREES are embodied in
legislation. For the moment the
country is governed by the edicss
of an oligarchy, and not By laws
which are the result of discussion
and .deliberation. The oligarchy
gratifes the President with some
legislation, denying him much, and
deceiving him in some respects.
What it grants is for the sake Of
harmony The Independent, think
ing Republicans. who are averse TO
this rule, who had hoped for help
from the White House against tive
tyranny OF the Oligarchy, are hurt
and angry. The President may
retain the affection of their con-
stituents, but he has lost the friend
ship and the confidence of the Rep
resentatives. The President Is
now the ally of the ruling oligarchy,
whose leaders do not agree with a
single principle which he announces.
They are satisfied, however, with
his ultimate surrender, but they
would throw him over if they
dared.

INFORMATION WANTED.
Concerning D. B. Ainsworth and
Wife, formerly Mary Mahony,
of Brownsville.

San Antonio Express.
Information is wanted of D. B.
Ainsworth and wife, formerly Mary
Mahony, who lived in or near
Brownsville, Tex, in 1856 or 1857,
or of their children, living or dead.
The case is full of human interest,
for it reveals the fidelity and de-
votion of noble woman who for
years and years has sought in vain
some tidings of tkeir whereabouts.
Her heroic and hopeful efforts in this
regard are deserving of sympathy
and respect and l am quite sure
the Texas press, if they only knew
now faithfully she has labored and
payed to bring about n meeting of
her long-lost relatives, would gladly
aid her in her loving search. Surely
there is somebodyin Brownsville or
the Lone Star State who knows
something of these missing people
or their children, and it would be
an act of generosity and benev-
olence on the part of the newspapers
to publish this matter in their
columns. Any information on the
subject will be gratefully received
by Mrs. Archibald J. C. Anderson,
534 Sixth street, Brooklyn, n. Y,
who was formerly Miss Catherine
E. Mahony.

quality of his nature by acknowl-

1t was in the days when the rail
way was being driven across the
desert to Khartoum. a young Can
adam officer of engineers was in
charge of the work, which was pro-
crossing satisfactorily, when one
morning the sirdar Gas Kitchener
then was) appeared on the scene
and expressed his disapprosal of
certain features of the work with
his usual scathing brevity. The
young officer listened until his
chief had finished, and then quiet
ly inquired: Am l bossing this
railway, sir, or are you?" Kitchener
looked at him, recognized the breed
as one after his own heart, nodded
approval, and went away.

friends exploiting great-grand-
mothers and grand-aunts on ivory,
blossomed forth with an amazing

informed her friends that the man

shock of glowing red hair was her

Last year 200 acres were placed in

flyer from New York Friday night at
Shelburne, Vt. The crews Of both
engines were killed and brakeman

probably fatally hurt and nearly every

more or less seriously. No passengers
were seriously hurt, although many
received bruises. The impact of the
collision was terrific and only the
heaviness of the flyer prevented a grea-
ter disaster. AS it was, both engines
were totally demolished, the boiler of
one exploding with terrific report.

reminded that influenza and volcanic
disturbances have some association,
though the relation may be only one
OF coincidence. The tendency Of the
com-volcanic eruptions was noted in
the eighteenth century. In the fourth

President Roosevelt has ordered the
closing Of the postotfice at Indianola,
Miss, until that community accepts
with good grace the services of Minnie

tress.
President Harrison first named Min
ME Cox as postmistress and she served
three years in his administration.
President Mckinley reappointed her
in 1897. In the White House state
ment her praises are sung loudly and
prominence is given to the fact that
she and her husband are possessed Of
considerable wealth, though no reason
is assigned as to why Minnie and her
husband received the appointment.
The citizens of Indianola recently
decided that they had had enough Of
Minnie and so plainly did they inti-
mate this that the negro forwarded
her resignation to take effect Jan. l:
The administration claims that inves-
tigation showed Minnie was about to
suffer bodily harm. To save her from
martyrdom, therefore, the president
has ordered that the office be closed
pending the decision OF the Indianola
citizens as to whether they prefer
Minnie or their mail. Meanwhile the
lndianola mail goes to Greenville, some
miles distant.
Postmaster General Payne laid the
Mississippi case before the cabinet.
This brought up the entire Southern
question. Secretary Moody, the most
enthusiastic friend Of the negro in the

gress as champion Of "Crurnpacker-

this time that he began to devote his
