an appeal to arms. the government OF

work together. The political gang is
the more terrible of the two, as it IS
always working and corrupting and to
protect itself commands the basic bull
warks of our liberties, courts, juries
and executives"
1t is practically useless to arrest
gangster for the Boss is right there to
back him up and with no uncertain hand
supports him. He has no fear of fail
ing for has he not filled the jury boxes
and drawn the juries and made the local
judges his creatures. He practically
owns the court officials and the officers
recognize their obligation to the chief.
Political gangs are worse than dyna-
miters for while these may blow up
our properties by taxation our liberties,
independence and everything else ne
cessary to uphold firm Republic. Our
institutions are nothing to them. Every
thing is sacrificed to their greed for
power. A rotten Doodle gang of vici-
Gus politicians is greater menace than
a gang of burglars or horse thieves
could ever be. They undermine and
would destroy the American system of
government by corrupting the voters
at elections and this is a greater crime
than that Of the McNamaras who are
now serving time. No one who carefully
observes the trend of the times will
doubt that the world is laborng under
an acute nervous tension. We are on
the alert, suspicious, fearful that some
unseen enemy is lurking about Just
ready to do US up.
In New York City steps were hastily
taken to guard the subway lest it should
be blown up or some unknown calamity
happen to it. In Canada, the spy scare
is sweeping the country. Under normal
conditions no attention would be given
the threats made in New York City.
Now an idle threat is likely to be mag
nified into a real menace and cause the
populace to be thrown into a state of
high excitement. We may ask, why
anyone should wish to destroy the sub
way? But deeds as unjustifable and as
improbable have been attempted in the
past year. Why was the explosion in
the United States capitol? Enemies of
the British Empire are bold, resourceful
and enterprising. True it is said that
the burning of the Parliament at Ottawa
was accidental, yet there is ground for
suspicion that this may be mistake.
There have been many outbreaks of a
mysterious character in the dominion
of late to be passed on the score of
mere coincidence. Call it hvsteria if
you wish to; or make light of the
threatening dangers whether they are
real or imaginarv-it is up to Canada
and the United States to adopt every
means in their power to guard against
the possibility of anything that might
be done in the heat of mistaken patrio-
tism or craftsmanship which would result
in the destruction of property or life.
Eternal vigilance is the price of safety
as well as of liberty in these troublous
times and there is little danger of TAX
ing measures that are too precaution-
airy. Horrible beyond description or
comprehension are the atrocities against
the Americans by the Turks. 1t is re-

perilous Times.

1t will be generally conceded that po-
ltically our times are fraught with
more or less peril.
There are political gangs galore. So
corrupt too, that they reek with filth.
Machine or gang rule is largely re-
sponsible for it all. They do not owe
their supremacy in power year after to
honesty or virtue. Crime and corrup-
ton keeps them where they are, and
that is why they wink at crime and
protect criminals. Graft prevails on
all hands. Where the gang is supreme
in municipal politics. Every aspirant
knows that his only hope is to do the
will of the bosses and faithfully serve
the gang. All who have business with
the city know they must do it with the
gang. As is to be expected under such
circumstances, votes are demanded
more votes enough votes to accomplish
their purposes and every subaltern
knows what that means. If bribery
will help, then that is go. If theft is
necessary they stop not at that. If
stuffed ballot boxes or even murder are
necessary, some way is found to ac-
complish these bits of deYitry. The
gang must be perpetuated at all haz-
yards. Labor gangs may use a large
proportion of the money paid by I'M
sophisticated working men, not to re-
lieve suffers, but to keep them in pow
er. The organizers, well lot of them,
get good pay and travel around at the
expense of the American Federation of
Labor.
The head of the great Burns Detec-
tive agency says, at has been preach
ed all over the country, of course, that
after all, power rests within the people
who have the votes and can put NUM-
cipal rings out of business. So, of
course with the labor movement in
general. the honest labor men have the
votes and can at any time put its ring
out of business. But the gangs, both
the municipal and labor gangs, know
that story by heart. That is the reason
why you see the municipal gangs pad
the registration lists and commit cleo
ton frauds of all kinds even when they
don't strictly have to do it to win an
election. They keep the majorities big
by fraud to discourage honest citizens.
The labor ring knows that, after all.
it must have the revenues from the
honest working people in order to keep
itself in power. Without those reve-
nues. the machine could not keep up
the pay roll of it's retainers, its ward
bosses as you might call some of those
national organizers. So when strikes
ca ut be won, they must be lost dear
ly That's where the loyal dynamiter' S
work comes in. The dynamiter is the
labor machines substitute for the NUM-
clip uarhines' ballot box suffer, cleo
ton thing and vote intimidator.

fortunate 1ONGGHOI Oh WAR II
If memory is not at fault, Governor
Thomas terminated his official appoint
ment to the government of Peru in the
year 1874, to return to his native
country.
On the way home from a fatigueing
horseback ride over an extensive terri
tory, my attention was attracted at
Frankville by one or more freight cars
standing on the station switch, with an
unusual number of men moving about
the locality. In answer to an inquiry,
information was had of the arrival of
Gov. Thomas to the United States and
to Frankville, with twenty-five Peruvian
sheep from South America for an ex-
| perimental introduction into North
America. While looking over the men
busy in their employment about the
loaded cars, an erect form appeared in
such contaidistinction to the otheres as to
convince me in the first glance of the
presence of the famous Marylander.
The dignified bearing, high hat and black
suit bespoke the respectable yet I'M
ostentatious dress of gentleman with
an affability of manner inviting defer
entail approach. After a brief self-in-
| PRODUCTION, with a reference to SO much
clearly requiring his immediate super
vision, the wish was expressed to call
at his residence in a more convenient
season, particularly on account of the
high esteem in which ne was held by
Genl Anderson, his established prom
inence in the State of Maryland and to
/ more closely observe the novelty and
meritofthe extraordinary breed ofsheep
| now mokinE their first landing on the
soil Of North America. Here, with a
/ tightening countenance and a courtlY
bow, he quickly interposed: "Ah Mr.
Miller, now you disclose the real object

People, Disgusting their curiosity under
their pretended tribute to the great
Greek, called on him in truth to see the
no less notable little dog You want to
see the sheep, Sir, and it will afford me
pleasure to crafty the wish" While
relating this incident from ancient his
tory in an inimitable zest, an Opportu-
My came to me for calm scrutiny of
the enchanting conversationalist of
| whom so much had been heard. His
straight silvery hair was brushed back
from rudy Clearly shaved face played
| oyer by pair of black piercing eyes
| limitless in their power to please or re-
pei The voice was of marvellous
meditation, rich in tone and of flute-'
like clearness. Looking at him in the
multiplicity of his gifts, it ceased to be
strange with such a master in the
forum, audiences of thousands would
sit spell bound listening to the music of
his eloquence. At this time he was,
probably, not less than seventy-fiYe
years old, but he was not bent by age
nor were his native forces abated.
These Alpaca sheep, the original name
of the Peruvian sheep, have an attach
ed value peculiarly their own. The
Governor explained that they were
selected from the mountain section of
Peru, that being the cooler part in the
pacific climate of the country, with the
