Rejected Candidates.

It is reported that at recent ex'

only eleven out of twenty-five we're

fourteen of them were unable to pre-.

have, IN somewhat the same way, managed to create
Inc impression that they are really the Hungarian
nation, whereas they are nothing of the kind.
1t must be remembered that of the population
OF Hungary, exclusive of Croats and Slavonians the
Magyars number only about one-half Neverthe-
less, they hold 403 i'll the diet while the other
non Magyar half OF the population only holds ten
seats. This state of things rendered possible by
the fact that the franchise is as restricted as it was
in these countries before the first reform act and
because the leaders of the Nagyars, being the arts
tocrats and landOcrats of the country play upon
the patriotic susceptibilies of their humber fell
lowsin order to secure the continuance of the DOM
NATION they now constantly misuse.
Ihe recent proposal of Baron teJervary, the
acting premier of Hungary, to the emperor for the
establishment of enlarged franchise almost
equivalent to system of manhood suffrage
undoubtedly bold stroke, but il is doubtful, if
only on this account that the aged emperor will
adopt 1t. Its PRONUNCIATION. however has

to lend some show OF substance the pretence that

actual truth is that if the emperor had only the
courage and wit to mount his charger and go forth
amongst the people, they would follow the beck of
his saber and leave the Magyar agitators and poll
ticians in position of impotency.
This fact is quite clearly recognized In England
where desperate efforts are being made by some of
the Unionst papers to represent the present state
of things in Hungary as atfording convincing ar
gument against the granting of Home Rule to Ire
land. In pursuance Of this policy the Nagyars
constantly represented as If they were actually

Again as to the belief in miracles, which the
writer says: rs to the scientific thinker priore

may be priore improbable TO Renan, Strauss,
Spencer and CO., not however, as they admit, be-
cause science has proved that miracles are impos-
sble, but because they do not chime in with their
philosophy, termed cosmic, which denies the crea-

man to man, have believed in miracles, and at
best their pupils trained to the mental habit of
disbeeving, when they hear or read of some mi

son of this is clear because before they can pro-
nounce miracle improbable and improbable they
must first prove that God does not exist, and did
not create all things, They admit that this can
not be scientifically proven. Then if God does ex-
list he is of necessity supernatural and super-cos
mic too, and the very existence of the cosmos (the
universe) is a standing miracle since time began.
Miracle, even by those who declare it to be a
priore improbable, is not understood in the Chris
tian sense. What God does by himself, l. G.. i'm

transpires through agency of created causes, and
which God does Immediately, i. e., through the me-

as the cause of causes acts mediatey in all natur

ton and as capable of being proved as is the ex-
stence of the universe. The unbelievers who, like
Stratus, Hume, Fiske and Renan, say that mir

but firmly believe that it acquires its hue from
small particles of gold which it extracts from the
earth"
So he put the pumpkin on his shoulders and took
it home, telling all anxious inquirers that he was
going to discover how to extract the gold from it.
At home, in spite of all his wife said, he cut the
pumpkin up and put it in pot and boiled it, only
he argued that he was melting it.
When at last it was a pulpy mass, he poured it
out of the pot and right on top of pan of dough
that his wife had rolled out for the purpose of
making dred-apple pie.
Now you know what kind of wife he had do
you not 4 woman who will feed her husband on
dried apple pie deserves to be married to two or
three inventors, doesn't she.
And so he put the pumpkin and the dough into
the oven, asserting that he would harden it with
heat and produce solid sheet of gold. and be so
rich that he could afford to run for Office on re-
form ticket.
But, bless you! when the pumpkin and the dough
out of the it was not solid sheet of gold
at all, but rich, golden, tantalizing section of
goodness.
And the poor inventor was hungry, so he bit
into it.
A few minutes later several of his creditors
broke inta the house and came upon him, crying.
Look here Where is all that gold you were going
to get for U.s."
And he never even looked up at them, but kept
right on eating, saying, Who cares for gold? Bie,
bite, O-o-o-ohD
WHO cares for gold! Men, [ have discovered

And the creditors sat down also and ate and
they too, were happy ever after.
So now, when you eat pumpkin pie you should
be glad that the poor inventor did not succeed in
making gold of the pumpkin, for if he had the
