DESERT SCAvENGERS.


It is probable that one never fully
credits the interdependence of wild
creatures, and their cognizance of the
affairs of their own kind and other
kinds. Mrs. Mary Austin, in The
Land Of Little RAIN" says that the
eye on one another.
Never a coyote comes out Of his lair
to hunt, in the country of the carrion
crows, but looks up first to see where
the crows are gathering. 1t is Il suf-

watch the pair of them eying each
other furtively, with a tolerable as
sumption of unconcern. but no doubt
with a certain amount Of good under
standing.

lyon from Pasteria to Tunawai
planned a relay race to bring down an

eagle swung down from Mount Pinos,
buzzards materialized out of invisible

small boys to street fight. Rabbits
sat up in the chapparal and cooked
their ears, feeling themselves quite
safe for once as the hunt swung near
them.
Nothing happens in the deep wood
that the blue jays are not all agog
to tell. The hawk follows the badger,
the coyote the carrion crow, and from
their aerial stations the buzzards
watch each other.

lightly. Let no man fancy that it will
adjust itself. No more than the slavery

there is such uniformity of law-such

The Republican party can no more
deal with it adequately than the Dem

regime, could deal adequately with the
slavery question. The Republican
party represents the patricianism and
wealth of the North precisely as the
Democratic party of other days repre-

the South In those old days the South
ruled the country. Slavery was the
keynote. In these days the North rules
it. The protective system is the key

when the storm breaks, he shall be
ready for it; so the mariner; so the
statesman.
The brains Of America, the genius of
America, are not now in what is called
public life. They are engaged in for
une- building. They devote themselves
to works of construction. They are
money-makers. Few men Of energy
and ambition, with the opportunities
Of the time before them, are willing to
surrender freedom and affiuence at
home to take poverty and slavery at
Washington. To men Of the second, or
third class therefore is committed the
government of the country.
Inevitably, some Of them are cor
rupt, whilst most Of them gre the
merest hangers-on of fortune; here to-
day and gone tomorrow; adrift from
one election to another; ready to seize
and cling to whatever plank SENS like
ly to carry them; and, no matter
whether they call themselves Republi-
cans, or Democrats, equally time-serv-
ers and tide-waiters.
The circumstance gives great
though temporary advantage to those
persons Of brains and wealth who have
an interest in taking, or who, for the
love of exploitation and power, put
themselves to the trouble Of taking an
interest in political affairs. The tariff
lobby is an old and familiar figure in
the national capital. SO is the railway
lobby. Hence the power and at the
same time the unpopularity of the
trust
Thus far on our journey from the
cradle of political infancy to whatever
goal may lie before us, we have wealth
cred the historic dangers common to all
nations: the struggle for existence; the
outer assault; the domestic broil; the
disputed succession. We are no longer

teaches, if nothing else, that nations,
like individuals, rise to their fullest
stature through privation and against
obstacles, that they fall through lux
