The Red Howl,ur Monkey.

The red bowler (Mycetes seniculus)
Is rare monkey of the forests of
tropical America. 1t Is an extremely
delicate animal and is chiefly remark
able for the extraordinary noises 1t
makes. The cries 1t utters comprise al
most any sound from subdued moan
to an angry roar, and 1t is hardly con-
celvable that they should proceed from
single animal. This Is the animal
called red monkey by Waterton in his
"Wanderings In South America" where
an admirable description of Its weird
cries may be read. These sounds are
produced in bony cavity formed by
an enlargement Of the hyoid. or tongue
bone. In appearance the red bowler is
an elegant little creature, well clothed
with hair Of reddish brown color.
Like the spider monkeys, 1t is provided
with long, prehensile tail, the under
surface of which is naked toward the
tip, but it differs from those monkeys
IN having well developed thumbs

!. storm Above the Cleuds.

Professor John Wise, the eminens
aeronaut, who lost his life in making
a balloon ascension on Sept. q, 1873.
gave the following description of q
thunderstorm which he once viewed
from the ''top side:" 1.-The view Of a
stormcloud from above is one Of the
most interesting sights ever beheh by
mortal man. A storm viewed from
above the clouds has the appearance
of ebullition. The upper surface OF the
cloud Is bulged upward and outward
and has the resemblance of a vast sea
of boiling, upheaying snow. Immedi-
!ately above the. stormcloud the air 10
not so cold as 1t is in the clearer at
mosphere above or in the cloud sttseH.
The falling Of the rain can be distinct
ly heard, making noise like a water
fall over precipice. The thunder
heard above stormcloud Is not loud,
and the flashes of lightning appear like
streaks Of intensely white light on the
surface of the gray colored yapor."

While it is true that this govern
ment is an indestructable union Of
indestructable states, i t does not
follow that the states are injured or
deprived of any rights by the FEEDER
al Government, when the Federal
Government legislates upon all sub
jects pertaining to the dealings of
people ofone state with those Of an
other. A state can prohibit all
fore j gn corporations T. o m
do ng business without i s
borders, and, to protect i S
citizens, the several states may be
compelled to establish a sort Of
quarantine against the corporations
ofstates like New Jersey. 1t would
be better if the Federal government
went to the limit Of its jurisdiction
in requiring corporations doing bust
ness in several states to submit to
regulation by the national govern
ment.

week when Mr.. Perkins gave out

GAMBLERS IN WEALTH.

have no fault TO find with legiti
mate dealers in wealth, like mer-
chants and bankers. They pursue
very necessary and laudible callings,
but they cannot rightfully claim
precedence over tbs country's wealth
producers. The class that adds to
the country's wealth in times Of
peace, and is its chief defender in
times Of war, should stand first in
every proper calculation. 1t was
the hardy frontiersman OF kentucky
and Tennessee who went down t.
New Orlerns with Jackson in 1915,
and on the battle field at Chalmette
defeated the best army that Europe
ever produced.
And again, hall century later,
armies composed mostly of this
same class Of men carried our starry
banner from Cairo to New Orleans
and from Atlanta to the sea.
Can government prosper as il
should when the rights and interests
of this great wealth producing class
are subordinated to the schemes OF
the gamblers in wealth?
The gamblers in wealth produce
nothing Of value. They speculate,
and corner, and squeeze and fleece,
but there is no more property in the
country when they finish their
operations than there was before
they commenced. On places called
boards Of trade they go through the
fiction Of buying and selling things
they never owned. They call each
other bulls aud bears; they thrive
most when people generally are in
want, or when some public calamity
unsettles business; they often devise
schemes to bring about panics and
hard times that their opportunities
may thereby be increased. They
are organizers Of the modern con
spiracies against legitimate trade,
called trusts, but they, themselves,

Perhaps you may think that it is
not right for me to make this attack,
but feel morally justified in saying
all that | have said. There is no

A Ten Year Forecast of the Present

Il. s
Ten years ago Colonel ID. M. Fox,
authorof Political Parties, Nation
al "Reminiscences" ETC., invited
number of men who were active in
the politics of that year, to write
special articles for treatise which
he was then about to publish, and
which he wished to make valuable
as textbook for future political
campaigns. The junior publisher
at that time of this paper was man
aging the Bryan campaign in Iowa,
and he accepted the invitation ex-
tended to him by Colonel Fox and
wrote the special article for the
Colonels Campaign textbook which
is reproduced below.
The article was criticised at the
time it was written and called I'M
safe and too radical, and one object
in reproducing it at this time is to
give our critics chance to see how
really conservative we were when
Bryan first ran for the presidency.
We would like to have these
critics read "The Trend of Present
Conditions, written ten years ago,
and then read the speech along some
what the same lines, delivered by
Justice Brewer OF the Supreme Court
of the United States, before the bar
associations Of Texas and Arkansas,
at Texarkana week ago last Fri
day, and after reading both say what
they honestly think. Here is the
article which was called radical ter
years ago:
THE TREND OF PRESENT CONDITIONS.
1t is my purpose to dwell chiefly
upon the Objectionable features Of my
ubject, but in so doing | trust tina,
what ! may say will not induce any
one to think that Lam naturally in
clined to look only at the dark side o.
affairs. The contrary comes mucl
nearer being true, for / am inclined
to believe that most all events arr
ordered for the best. and that the
sulferings Of humanity in. the pas
were permitted SO that great ohjec
lessons might not be wanting t,
guide the race to brighter ant
better future. | shall refer to the
failures and sulferings of humanity
under the feudal system, and ash
you to use them as guides to leat
you away from the dangers Of tn,
present.
Almost every one, who has an,
business or avocation at all, is eithe1
a producer of wealth, a dealer in
wealth, or a gambler in wealth.
AT the head of the wealth produc.
ing class stands the farmer and
| stock raiser. He not only makes
two spears of grass grow where but
one grew before, but in nearly every
thing that he does he adds to the
worlds permanent store Of wealth
The mechanics and artisans come
next. They are great wealth pro-
ducers. They take raw materials
and work upon them until in some
instances their values are increased
IA thousandfold.
The miner who lelves in the earth
and forces it to yield up its hidden
treasures is also entitled to a front
rank in the wealth producing class
And, il knowledge is property as
we'll as power, the thinkers and
students are, in the truest sense OF
the term, wealth producers. And so
are the teachers, and everyone en-
gagged in the spreading Of knowledge,
for what's the good Of unknown
good?

THE FEupAL SYSTEM.

ne lrst or primary thought was
the founding OF a system Of govern
ment upon land. The king owned
all the land, and hebuilt his govern
ment in this way: lie divided his
country into certain parts. the same
as a general would divide an army
into divisions. In fact, the feudal
system was more like great mill
tary organization than system of
civil government. If feudalism
prevailed here, the king would quite
likely give each state to feudal
lord, and bind his several lords to
furnish him with a certain sum of
money each year, and with certain
number of men for his army in the
event of war. These lords, by virtue
OF their positions, would become the
division commanders of the kings
army, and, also the civil governors
of the states. They, in turn, would
follow the example of their king and
give the districts of their states to
their dukes, or brigadler generals,
in return for certain annual rents,
and the service of a brigade of
soldiers whenever called for by the
lord This feature would be carried
down through the several smaller
geographical subdivisions Of the
country, as far as military or civil
officers were required.
Now you caa understand what
gave rise to the law of primogeniture,
why the eldest son inherited the
