mADEIN GERMANK.

Some things made in Germany" are not as good as they ought to be. For instance. the German criminals who are exported, or export themselves, to England. England, or that part of it for which the Westminster Review speaks, is disturbed by the presence and the skill of these criminals. It appears that they are decidedly scientific in their work, as becomes Germans. The extent to which the art of burglary has been developed is evidenced by the fact that ingenious housebreaking tools are manufactured, such as portable ladders, portable phosphorus and electric lamps, ratchet drills. sheet iron cutters, adjustable jimmies. pick locks and various kinds of skeleton keys. Some of these are, of course, | legitimate and necessary tools, not necessarily nor mainly used for felon- ious purposes. Any given house once entered, the scientific German can open the strongest cast-iron safe by means of an oxy-hydrogen blowpipe, which produces heat so intense as to melt any metal against which it is
 directed. The following plan is also practiced: A recent chemical discovery produced preparation known as ther- mite. If portion of this is placed on
 the top of safe heat is generated
 so powerful that the toughest steel
 cannot withstand it, and hole is
 burned in any desired portion of the receptacle.
 It is asserted that the German crim- inals come into England disguised as
 German workmen. And those who
 have been convicted in Germany often adopt an English name so as to con Iceal their identity as far as possible. The English laws are so liberal that
 they are comparatively safe there un-
 less they are caught in crime.

TIE SAME o1n sroRY.

There's nothing new under the sun. The London Chronicle is reproducing in it's columns some Egyptian war car toons three thousand years old. Phar- aoh's chariot is drawn by dogs, his sol- diers are represented by rats. The enemy's army Is composed of cats. A single combat between rat and cat,
 each armed with a sword, is graphical | ly depicted. It is explained that this drawing was the work of a caricatur- list of renown in the year HOO B. C..
 Another cartoon represents donkey and Hon playing a war game of draughts. The caricaturist was also a writer. He describes the soldier of the period as the victim of bad victuals" and water. Many of the ideas express
 ed by the ancient cartoonists in their
 productions are found in the drawings
 of modern caricaturists
 It is the same old story. Probably

WKfTfNG RED MEN,

To the poor Indian having learned to write feels bound to show off his &C., complishment. There are quite a num- Der of writers in the Cherokee nation.
 Among them are Dr. Emmet Starr, who is writing a book, "The Genealogy of the Thirteen Original Cherokee Fami- lies;" Mrs. Narcissa Owen, who is col- lecting the legends of the Indians, and
 Mrs. Josephine Hall, who is writing
 'The History of the Cherokee Nation ;
 Adam Lacy is the author of several books upon political subjects, and is recognized as an authority among the Indians. So also is Drift Humming- bird, who, as his name indicates, is of poetic disposition. Wolf Coon is another of the prolific writers. He has written upon 8 large number of sub- jects. A prominent man in newspa- per work among the Indians is Augus- tus E. Ivey, who is known also to the palefaced world. Ivey is a poet of no small reputation. Sequichie is another fine example of the Indian writer. He is probably more prolific writer than any other living Indian. He has writ ten many books on the subject of gov ernment. He has written criticisms upon the systems in vogue in the United States and his comments have met with federal approval. He has written the code of laws adopted and followed by the Cherokee nation. But he has not confined himself solely to

ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANKs.

Yesterday the work of the National Republican convention was finished. The ticket is what it was expected to bel Roosevelt and Fairbanks. There Ihas been for long time no doubt about the Roosevelt part of it, and the drift toward Fairbanks has lately been unmistakabie. There was more enthu- siasm in the convention over the ticket than some expected, but enthusiasm comes easy when the magnificent achievements of the Republican party are considered and when men are chosen to lead the party to other mag nificent achievements.
 The general idea seems to be that
 Roosevelt and Fairbanks are already as good as elected. In his speech nom linating Roosevelt ex-Governor Black l well said: We are here to inaugurate l a campaign which seems already to be nearly closed. So wisely have the peo- lple sowed and watched and tended l there seems little now to do but to
 measure up the grain. They are rang 1 ing themselves, not for battle, but for l harvest. In one column reaching from | the Maine woods to the Puget Sound
 are those people and those States which
 have stood so long together that when
 great emergencies arise the nation
 turns instinctively to them. In this
 column, vast and solid, is majority so
 overwhelming that the scattered squads
 in opposition can hardly raise another tarmy. The enemy has neither guns
 nor ammunition, and if they had they
 would use them on each other. Desti- flute of the weapons of effective war
 fare, the only evidence of approaching battle is in the tone and number of
 their bulletins. There is discord among
 the generals; discord among the sol- ldiers. Each would fight in his own way, put DeIore dSSaultlng his Repub- llican adversaries he would first destroy This own comrades in the adjoining tents. Each believes the weapons chosen by the other are not only wick led but fatal to the holder. That is ltrue. This is the only war of modern times where the boomerang has been substituted for the gun. Whatever fa- talities may occur, however, among the Idiscordant hosts now moving on St. Louis, no harm will come this fall to the American people. There will be nc Opposition sufficient to raise a conflict. IThere will be hardly enough for con- Ipetition
