Gruesome Tower.

A strange monument of modern bar barism still survives at Nish, in south east Servia. During the War of h. dependence in 1909, a Servian gar rison there exploded a powder maga- zine and perished therein rather than fall into the hands of the Turks. A battle had previously taken place, and the Turks commemorated their victory by erecting rude tower, ornamented with the heads of their enemies. Old people will tell you that there were once i,200 heads, but as the tower was never more than g feet high, this is probably an exaggeration
 Lamartine and other travellers give descriptions of the tower. Visitors were in the habit of carrying of skulls as souvenirs, but when Nish became Servian the remainder were taken away for decent burial, all save few that were too deeply embedded

RELICS OF EARLY CHRISTIANS
Italian Soldiers in TrlpoIi Have Made Discoveries of Great Aroheo-
 logical Importance.

Several discoveries of great arche- oIogical importance have been acci- dcntally made by the Italian soldiers at Ainzara, a small oasis about five miles from the coast of TripoH. where two large ancient mosaic pave- ments in an admirable state of pres ervation as well as the remains of a Roman temple built under the En- peror Severus have been brought to light. Professor Marucchi, the sec retary of the Pontifcal Society of Christian Archaeology, has recently made public another discovery at Ainzara which is of the utmost his torical importance Some time be- fore the Italian ocupation of Tripoi Dr. Aurigemma discovered a Chris tian cemetery consisting of an open area where so far over sixty tombs have been found. These tombs are built of stone and bricks faced with mortar, on which inscriptions in Latin have been scratched. Crosses and other symbolic Christian de- vices have been discovered as well as Latin formulas taken from the liturgy. There seems to he no doubt that this cemetery dates from rhe fifth century, and the fact that it was situated in an open area seems to prove that a fourishing Christian colony existed in North Africa at that time.

because of his stand for popular gov ernment and because he let it be known that he did not desire the sup port of special interests, giving them to understand that they need expect no favor from him after election, have not injured him in public estimation nor sweryed him from his high pur- pose to serve the whole and not sim ply part of the people.
 The latest criticism of him is that as governor of New Jersey he has made no effort to modify or repeal the laws of that state under which most of the great trusts have been organ ized. This charge Is entirely baseless. for in his very first message to the legislature Governor Wilson de nounced the existing incorporation laws of the state as having brought discredt upon it and urged such changes in them as would effectually prevent the abuse of the privilege of incorporation. He also recommended that such scrutiny and regulation should not be confined to corporations seeking charters but should be extend ed to those already in existence
 A Strong Candidate
 Governor Wilson, as our candidate for president, appeals to me particu- larly at this juncture in view of con ditions in the Republican party Pres ident Taft will unquestionably be re- nominated by that party. His sympa- thy with the regular Republicans and his opposition to reforms advocated by the progressive Republicans are well known. While 1t may be admit ted that the leaders of the progres sives will support the ticket nominat ed by their party, yet this is not true of the rank and file who as a rule are without political ambition and conse- quently have no party loyalty to main tain. To a greater extent than any of the Democratic candidates for the nomination Governor Wilson would draw from this class of voters besides holding every Democrat worthy of the name and drawing largely from the educational classes and the inde- pendent element. His campaign. like the one he made for governor of New LerseY. will be remarkable in our his

Governor Woodrow Wilson has found a new champion in Senator Gull person of Texas, who has frequently been mentioned as a possible nomi- nee for the presidency by the Demo cratic national convention at Balti- more.
 In formal statement issued at Washington espousing the cause of the New Jersey executive, Senator Culberson says:
 Now that 1t is practically settled there will be no primary for president, l have no hesitation in saying in re- ply to recent inquiries from Texas Democrats that I believe we should nominate Governor Wilson of New Jersey for president. While all may not agree with him as to some details, Governor Wilson is by birth educa- tion and conviction a Democrat and Democrat of the very best type. In the present emergency he would ap- ply the fundamental principles of democracy to existing deplorable con- ditions in such manner as to restore to the people their government, di- vOrce the government from a privi- leged class and seek the prosperity of the whole country rather than a fa- vored few
