CHAPTER VII.


There was short delay during which
the conquerors appeared 10 be consulting
together in a low voice; while doing so,
an Indian chief. who was no other than
the Jester, entered the hall. The general
and the capataz were then again picked
up by the redskins, and at sign from
one of the masked men, transported on
TO the voladero.
One hundred and fifty to two hundred
Indians, mostly armed with guns, and
ranged in good order round the terrace.
the center of which remained free. faced
the cavern, having among them the dis
armed Mexicans, the baggage, horses and
mules.
The tent still stood in the middle of
what was to have been the encampment /:
but the curtain was raised, and a horse
man was standing in front OF it, as if to
defend the entrance.
At the moment when the party emerged
from the cave and appeared on the ter
race, the horsemen drawn up at the en-
trance of the aefile opened out to the
right and left, leaving a passage for a
small troop of men dressed in hunters
garb, and whom it was easy to recognize
az Nulle men lNO lduleS, uOuuleu Oh
ambling mules, were in the midst of them.
This troops of strangers was composed
OF eight persons altogether, leading with
them two baggage mules. As the men
were diSarmed. and walked on foot amid
some fifty Indian horsemen. they had, in
all probability, been surprised by party
of redskins.
The two ladies, one of whom was of
a certain age, while the other appeared
scarce IS, and who might be supposed
closely related, through the resemblance
of their features, were treated with an
exquisite politeness they were far from
expecting by the Indians, and conducted
to the tent. The curtain was then low
cred, to conceal them from the, glances
of the Indians.
The newcomers, at a signal from their
conductors, ranged themselves with the
other prisoners; they were powerful men
whom the Indians had probably not given
a chance to defend; otherwise they look
ed as if they would sooner be killed than
yield.

Sorrows or Colonel watterson.

The SORROWS Of Colonel HENRY WAT
TERsoN seem to be many and great. He
has never been the same man since ne
mislaid the P~yrenees, but until he opened
the Blue Grass fair at Lexington the
world knew but little Of his intolerable
burden of woe. Tospeak plainly, every
thing has gone to the dickens. Party
government is a humbug. Progress is a
curse. Independent thinking is treason.
Finally, in the universal cataclysm. "in-
stead of the rich red blood of Virginia,
ice water shall flow through the veins Of
the people; and there are fanaticisms
and intolerances and -isms" which
would blot Kentucky out Of the galaxy
of stars and recreate her in the dread
image Of Maine and Kansas"
Poor old Kaintuckl Is prohibition,
that spirit Of Maine and Kansas, 80 dan
gerous and so dread? In the South it
is the common fate. State after State
adopts it: and possibly the blood in the
veins of the people will be no less rich
because it no longer swells with old fash
Toned red liquor. For the age of rum,
like that OF chivslry, is gone. Romance
may gid the harder drinking age as it
gilds all the past, but in Kentucky and
Virginia and everywhere else the sober,
workaday, prosaic order of things pre-
walls. and Maine and Kansas are no more
dread than Georgia is.
Colonel WATTERsoN speaks as a poet
and a praiser OF past time. The good
old, bad old days are over in Kentucky.
People are better, soberer, more frugal,
more industrious; and the rich red blood
is no more to be lamented than small
clothes and silver shoe buckles.

The Stand Patter.

The Hon. JOSEPH G.. CANNON liz still
full of that impetuous ~crusading. reform
ing ardor with which his young life has
always throbbed. There will be no re-
vision Of the tariff by the Sixtieth Con-
gross, he says. He and the Republican
party will stand as pat as the everlast-
ing hills. Let well enough alone"
Mr.. CANNON is but a boy. Should his
life be prolonged into the twenty-first
century he would still be letting well
enough alone.
The tariff can be revised only by its
friends the Republicans. and they will
never do it il the Cannonian principle
prevails.
Still, Mr.. CANNON must be perfectly
well aware that there are plenty of Re-
publicans, and some in his own region,
who believe that the way to revise is to
revise.

ships were sent TO the Pacific she would
prove more than a match for Japan in
weight Of armament, and probably also
in respect OF seamanship and gunnery.
She could not, however, at so vast a
distance from her base Engage success
fully in land operations against a Japa-
nese opponent. The contest also would
be onesided from another point Of view.
The Japanese, should they chance to be
victorious on the ocean, could seize Kiao-
chau, the Carolines, the German part
OF New Guinea and the German member
Of the Samoan group. Germany on the
other hand, though her feet should be
triumphant, would be unable to occupy
a square inch OF Japanese territory on
account OF the guarantees exchanged
with Japan by Great Britain, France and
Russia. To engage in such a contest.
therefore, would be stupid on the part of
Emperor WILLIAM unless he had some
great Interior aim to compass in another
part Of the world. We can easily see
what such an aim might be; namely, to
convince the American people once for
all that Germany is the one friend among
European Powers upon which they can
rely absolutely. Not only France and
Russia but even Great Britain, of whose
good will we have OF late supposed our
selves perfectly assured, have inter-
changed guarantees with Japan which
practically enable the last named Power
to seize with impunity our insular terri
tories in the Pacific, provided she can
obtain temporary or permanent prepon-
derance at sea, because she would expose
herself to no retaliation in kind.
II the United States should follow the
example Of the three European Powers
which have pledged themselves to pro-
tect the Japanese Empire from dismem-
berment, they would be forthwith re-
lieved from apprehension in respect of
their ability to retain the Philippines and
Hawaii, and the despatch of all or most
Of their battleships to the Pacific would
be needless. On the other hand We could
not guarantee the integrity Of Jspan's
territory without renouncing definitely
u traditional policy OF avoiding foreign
entanglements. Whether recent events
and new responsibilities have rendered it
.expedient to renounce that policy is a
question We may be sure that Secretary
RooT will not answer without mature
and anxious consideration. What we
wish TO point out here is the fact that so
long as he refrains from a announcement
Of that policy the attitude Of a~loofness
at present maintained by Germany with
regard to Japan is OF itself an act of
friendship to ourselves. Evidently En-
peror WILLIAM sees that il he in turn
were to guarantee Japan's possessions
the United States practically would be
left in the lurch. While he stands out,
ready to cooperate with us if called upon.
Japan will think twice before provoking
a conflict the certain outcome of which
would be the destruction of her navy
the ruin Of her sea borne commerce and
the humiliation Of her credit abroad.

Unfair.

In the philosophy Of those great pub
licists and statesmen Messrs. GoMPERs,
MITCHELL 4 Co, the owner Of property
is unfair" when he hesitates over the
proposal of some entire stranger to take
charge of that property and administer
it without the smallest reference to his
predictions.
Let us suppose, for example, that
SMITH has acquired a factory or accu-
INFLATED large possessions which involve
the employment Of many hundreds
of men and women Naturally SMITH
expects to manage his own affairs
according to his W ideas, and in view
Of the fact that his brains and energy
enabled him to rise TO opulence the ex-
p~ectation would seem to possess the
merit Of probability. Nevertheless,
when Walking Delegate BROWN or Or
ganizer JONES or Business Agent ROBIN
SON comes along to SMITH and declares
that he will dictate the terms upon which
SMITH shall be permitted to do business,
and when, as sometimes happens, SMITH
exhibits a sense Of the pride Of legitimate
and hard won ownership, We hear at
once or soon afterward loud detonations
Of resentful ~imprecation and warlke
o~vertures which il we're feeble to describe
as violent. SMITH is unfair to labor
meaning organized and tribute paying
labor. He does not acknowledge the
right Of BROWN, JONES and ROBINSON
to manage his property, control his I'm
ployees and make the terms upon which
he shall continue to exist. SMITH there
fore is unfair" Deiendd est SMITH!

The RussO-Japanese Treaty.

The text OF the Russo-Japanese treaty
which was signed on July 80 was pub
lished on Thursday in st. Petersburg,
and the outline Of it previously cabled TO
this country proves to have been correct.
The parties to the compact reciprocally
guarantee their respective territories on
the Pacific coast of Asia and also the in
dependence and territorial integrity OF
China. According TO a telegram from
Toxic, however, it is believed there that
the treaty contains a secret clause spe-
officially defining the respective spheres
Of influence of the two countries, by
which clause a section of the Sungari
River is placed within Japan's sphere,
the exclusive rights of navigating this
stream, hitherto possessed by Russia,
being now modified to that extent. Some
apprehension seems to be felt that the
secret clause may place Mongolia within
Russia's sphere Of influence, but this
could not easily be reconciled with the
promise to safeguard China from dis
memberment.
On the face Of the treaty, as published,
we may base the assumption that peace
in the Far East will be maintained for
at least eight years, or until 1915, when
the Anglo-Japanese ten year treaty ex-
pires, unless Japan shall become in
volved in hostilities with Germany or
the United States, the only strong sea
Powers which stand outside the circle of
international agreements concerning that
portion Of the globe. Is the elimination
of those exceptions to be desired? Would
it, in other words, be expedient for Ger
many or for the United States to enter
into similar contracts with Japan for the
reciprocal guaranteeing Of their respec-
tive territories on or near the Pacific
coast Of Asia? The two questions must
be answered separately.

have much to gain by following the lead
Of Russia, Great Britain and France. Il
