MADAGASCAR, I
For a, little time the people can af-
ford to bave their attention attracted
fmm Jsnan and China to the country
near the west coast of Africa. Though
has denied thai she contem-
elates a blockade of the porta of this
island, and though England denies that g"n be inaugurated as soon as citi
the sudden summoning ot her cabinet sens can do it at tne ballot box. The
has any relation' to Franco-Anglican fact not only apparent that times
nnnW.antnesa. a little skepticism as
... fc- ,rJ.n;. of these two deeDlT
ww u w w -- - w i
interested powers may be' psrmitted
to the outside world. That the French
would be verv elad to have a firmer
hold on Madagascar as a strategic point
ef importance second only to Gibraltar
is not an extravagant supposition, aud
that England is determined to prevent
the consummation of such a scheme is
quite a matter of course.
Madagascar is the third largest
inland, and has an area about equal to
that of France, and while ita govern
meat is an absolute monarchy, by the
treaty of Tamatav, signed ; in- 1885,
France is allowed a resident general
un a military escort, by whom all the I
foreigo relations of the country are 1
reeulated. and France has agents at
all important points, having, practically
speaking, a supervisory control of the 1
kingdom. This advantage is one tbaf
France is apt to construe into an lm-
perial right, it having always been her
policy to assert a claim upon countries
; k:t, -ho h.. iiaarter1 in patab.
lishing what may be termed a suze
rainty, for that is what tbe treaty of
Tnuatav amounts to under ; French
construction. .
Great Britain recognized in 1890 the
French protectorate over Madagascar,
but nevertheless succeeded through her
missionaries and commercial, interests
in gaining a dominant influence in the
Hova capital France, while careful
.nnflit with tha Hova srov
ern men t, industriously extended her is amusing. Notbingelse than Feder
iuterests end influence on the coasts alism has been active since the event
'and in the northern part of the island,
until she now feels pretty secure. The
Malagasy government has refus-d to
recozmze English sympathies, so, that
thn intfirnal conditions are as unfavor-
' ' able to a seizure of the island by the
French as the external circumstances
of British opposition may be.
It is probable, therefore, that the
British have no very serious concern
as to the attempt of France to acquire
absolute control of Madagascar. More-
over, it is possible the United States
, might antagonize any plan of French
usurpation, for the sufficient reason
that three-tenths of the trade of Mad a-
gaaoar is with this country, though in
the hands of two or three firms. The
commercial interests of other countries
than France seem to demand that
there be no such alteration of existing
conditions aa would be effected by the
occupation of Madagascar by tbe
French. ;" '.
Though little is known of Madagaa
car other, than as a geographical en-
tity, it has almost the dimensions of a
"continent, having a total length of 975
miles and a greatest breadth of 358.
The population is .not great for tbe
area, but there are about 4,000,000
inhabitants. There is an increasing
yield of gold and copper among her
mineral resources, and many parts of
the island are suDDOsed to be very rich
in valuable ores. The chief exports
are cattle, India rubber, hides, eoffW,
lard, sugar, wax, copal, rice, and aeedr.
Tbe exports, according to ' the latest
authentic figures from French sources,
are about 3,81)0.000 francs, tbe im
ports being nearly the game. This )s
not a great trade, but as itns tbe basis
of greater possibilities the future of
Madagascar merely as a commercial
interest is important To France and
England, however, the island is of less
consequence ooumercially than it ie
politically) .' ''- '

and more men out of employment than
at any previous period. And all these
' afflictions have come upon ns since tbe
change oi administration voted in
1892, and these have been tbe bene
- fits (?) of Democratic legislation. The
mal-administration (?) of tbe Repub
lican party paid labor the highest

Oa the ontrary,JpreCi,ted and no juestipn siktd. ,

bill are felt in every home in the re

Americans, natives or naturalised, is
the true motto, and the people want
no more legislation that deprives

made by local factories if wool will

8T0NS ON STATES BIGHTS.
This is the year 1894, the year in
hich both houses of congress sp
proved the prompt action of the Presi-
dent 4n sending troops lor tne sup-
pression of insurrection at Chicago,
the year m which Southern Louisiana
renounces Democracy, and it also is
1 the year in which Governor Stone, oi
I Missouri, has exalted the doctrine or
J state's rights as cardinal to the Demo-
I crata of his state, says an excnange.
I NinA. tenth of all who can and oo
read are agreed that Governor Stone
has made bis speech just thirty-three
years too late. What the governor
said at Carthage on October 6 :b, would
have sounded very nicely had it been
said before a southern audience in
i September, 1861.
When a scholarly man, such as Gov
ernor Stone ie, comes into tbe open
and proclaims in tones of horror,
"Federalism atill is active." the effejt
at Appomattox, or, indeed, since tbe
I prior even at Fort Sumter. Nothing
I elseseeuis likely to be active for long
years to come. Populism and social-
I ism are Federalism in the extreme.
Republicanism is conservative Feder
alism. Democracy, as generally in-
terpreted by President Cleveland,
Postmaster Hesing, Governor Altgeld,
and others, is just plain imperialism
masquerading as Federalism. 4 These
gentlemen, one and all," regard the
persona under them ae their personal
servants letter carriers to be paraded
I at the whim of the postmaster, trus-
teea . of charitable institutions and
park commissioners to be discharged
as unceremoniously as cooks and
I grooms are discharged, ministers to
I foreign powers to be described as "My
I commissioners." The one censerva
I tive force, Federalistic but cautiously
I to, is the Republican party. All other
I agencies are rushing towsrd xery dan
I gerous centralisation of power.
j Governor StAne insists that "the
J police poster, belong to the states."
I So it does. The police' also belong to
1 Podunk and to Squeezersville.' But
i if the police power of these beautiful
I and progressive municipalities prove
insufficient or inefficient for tbe pro-
I lection of tbe people against riot tbe
I state will use part of its polioe power
I in aid of that of the municipality. In
like manner it is true tbat, while po
lice power belongs to Missouri and
Illinois, it also belongs, in a larger
degree, to the United States of Amer
ica, and whenever the police power of
a state cannot or will not protect the
lives and properties of Uoited States
citizens tbe polioe power of the United
States, will intervene.
The time for prating or palavering
about the supremacy or sovereignty of
state has passed.' Wherever an active,
wise, and brave governor is at the
head of a commonwealth tbe peace of
that, commonwealth is likely to be
preserved, against domestis insurrec
tion by the prompt use of the forces
of tbe state. Bit where the governor
19 unwise, irresolute, shifty, anarchis
- tic, or unpatriotic, then and there tbe
federal government will send troops,
as it did to Chicago, "and ell the peo
ple will say, 'Amenl'. " ; . -
..From .various section come reports
tbat the populists are breaking up.
This has been a .bad year for that
party. It must be conceded that a
large proportion of the rank and file
of Populists broke away from old party
mooriugs with the honest intention of
aiding in the political betterment of
the country. The Populist party,
with many good platform doctrines,
although tinctured with extravagant
idiosyncracies, seemed to oifer the op
portuuity sught. . Tbey entered tbe
psrty in good faitb, but the conduct of
the leaders has been too much for
tbem. Tbe indorsement of the folly
and vandalism of the Coxeyites an
the lawlessness . and dishonesty pf
Debeism is now being supplemented
ith political chicanery in primaries
and conventions. Men of good sense
and integritg of character observing
these things are rapidly dropping
way from these irresponsible doings
and accepting again their bid places in
the political tabernacles of wisdom,
honor and decency. .'
Louisville is preparing for a McKin
ley reception a fortnight hence. . The
Commercial says: "The Democrats
seem to take as much interest in Mc
Kinley as the Republicans, and
party lines are not much regarded in
the matter of protection. The Pro
tective Tariff Olnb is composed of both
Democrats and Republicans, and it is
devoted to the single principle of
protection to American industiies and
American labor." Of coarse Kentucky
Democrats will please understand that
if they go into training to vote for
protection's nominees in 1896 the
delicacy of the situation will he an
BBS AD WANTED.
Democratic papers are attempting
to make tbe Wilson bill tne great
panacea for all the ills that are being
suffered at present. The St. Louis
Republic, bed-rock Democratic pa
per, ha been interviewing, and this is
from its columns in regard to what
Major H. W. Salmon says regarding
the Wilson bill :
"There has been considerable mis
understanding as to its provisions and
much unjust criticism, but the people
are becoming better informed at to
what the measure really is, and are
better satisfied with it. Some Demo
crats immediately after the passage of
the bill savagely attacked it and in
dulged in wholesale abuse of our rep
resentatives in congress for voting for
it, yet if their lives had depended
upon it they could not have told just
why tbey disapproved of it. They
Vn that Mr. Cleveland, while the
bill was in the hands of the confer
ence commitleee. had written a letter
to Mr. Wilson, in which he denounced
the measure, and without stopping
jo consider jlhe matter they joined in
this denunciation. Many of these
disgruntled critics had never read Mr.
Cleveland's letter, and did not know
that his greatest concern was that iron
ore and coal should go on' the free
list. Now that they understand the
matter, and as they are not particu
larly interested in having coal and
iron ore placed on the free list, tbey
bm their error and are falling into
line."
' Major Salmon may be all right, and
tbe Wilson bill the same ; but there
are hundreds of thousands of people
in the country who are starving, and
this is not agreeable. If Dempcracy
considers the best interests of the
people it will attempt to relieve their
distress, and this will be a practical
demonstration of benefits of Democrat
ic legislation. Theory will not give
work to the idle or bread to the starv
ing. Toilers all over the nation, who
were formerly, well fed and well
clothed are now hungry and naked.
and the economic policy that will se
cure the most adherents will be . the
one that furnished food and raiment
tar these. The Wilson bill will not
do it. and therefore it is,"fonnd want
ing.1' . The McKinley lav did do it,
and tbat is rendered necessary by tbe
exigencies of the present time. Tb
poorer classes all over the land are on
the verge of starvation, and it is a sin
and a shame for Democratic prints to
preach to them the .benefits' of free
trade when tbey know by the most
direful experience that it has taken
bread from their families and de
prived them of the means of support
ing themselves. This is the most lm
pcrtant point to them, and .until the
problem of existence has been satis-
factorily solved they have no time or
inclination to listen to the sophistries
advocated bv tariff reformers. A
j -
hungry man's brain cannot work until
his stomach js satisfied, and Demoerats
should . study same meant to make
bread as ' plentiful as' it was a fiVw
years ago before they attempt to force
upon citizens the subtle and imaginary
benefits accruing from free trade.
METHODISM AND TUB IAW.
The series of resolutions adopted by
tbe Methodist conference at Galena,
Illinois, recently, was quite character
istic of that denomination. Method
ism has always been an active princi
ple on the side of moral and practi
cal right, not content to be simply
conservative of the laws of order. The
church bs vigorously and etrnestly
espoused truth as it has conceived the
tmth nri hn Un forward to ad -
-. ' l x. .
" - -- - - -
has not confined itself to the fur'ther-
ance of sect belief merely. . If that
church has sometime been divided be-
fauae of its diDerences on special
points pf faitb, it has never been si
lent when it should speak for univer
sal truth, it has never been dormant
wbea society required its wakeful en-

T- iL a. t. l i-l
initiatory step in the support of good
and lawful government tbat should ex
cite the emulation of all other denom
inaiions, to the end that we may have
united church serviceable ; in the
cause of true government, morally and
politically, without respect to the nar
rownesses of partisan prejudices and
ambitions. If the public mind,
through the Christian influence of an
earnestly vital church, and ' through
tbe co-operation of men who occupy
positions of public significance, either
as teachers or writers, could be stim
ulated to decisive recognition of the
fact that "it ia the high duty of may
ors, governors, and our president to
put down lawlessness, preserve peace,
and the privilege of unmolested labor
for all peopje' there might be a
speed settlement of most of those
difficulties tbat now threaten tb se
curity of our political system and im -
peril tbe safety and welfare of society,
The Methodist ministers are quite
right in declaring that it is their duty
''to bring social questions into the
pulpit," a duty which the church,
through a too limited view of its mis
sion, is apt to neglect, assuming that
the socio-political , status of man ia
apart, their province.
Tha beatitudes amount to little
when preached in the presence of un-
rebuked lawlessness, and spiritual
grace may be pleaded in . vain when
practical conditions are allowed to suf
fer the blight of vices thai go unohas-
tised of moral oeusors.
If the parity
I
of the ballot and tbs right of legal
inquiry into criminal accusations are
not matters for the upholding of the
pulpit, then ethical doctrines are no
more than platitudes with which an
exclusive pulpit may well dispense.
We congratulate the Methodists and
commend their action to the emula
tion of all churchmen, .clergy and
laity. Tbe times need all the moral
forces that can be concentrated to tie
good of the world. We survive not
by prayer alone.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Tbe total cost of all tbe 4,343,209,-
000 pounds of sugar consumed in the
country every year, at the McKinley
price of 5 cents per pound for refined
sugar, was $217,160,450. Under the
Gorman tariff at 6 cents per pound
it will cost the American people
$282,358,585, an increase of $65,198,-

taxation upon tbe American breakfast
table. '
The Mugwumps in .New York who
were the first to stimulate tbe forward
movement in Democracy have ascer
tained the rottenness of the old bulk,
and are deserting it all over the state.
It is high time these malcontents
found out that the Republican party
has always been the. forerunner ef
progress, while Demoorats have lagged
behind and were content with tbe
time-honored principles of past his
tory. The death of Oliver Wendell
Holmes yesterday in Boston removes
to the silent majority one of tbe best
known literary men on tbe continent.
He graduated from Harvard in 1829,
spent one year studdying law, and re
ceived bis diploma in medicine; but
be devoted bis attention to literary
pursuits soon after receiving bis degree.
For- many years his poems have
claimed the attention of the reading
public, and, in later life, his faculties
appeared as active as ever. Among
the great poets of New England
Oliver Wendell Holmes will occupy
no secondary position, and his life
work will last forever.
Civilization is marching on. It
never makes a retrograde ' movement
Japan has given encouragement to
her subjects to follew the western plan
of education, and has been immeasur
ably benefited thereby in tbe war with
China. On sea and on the land her
iavy and army ' have been victorious,
and very soon Japanese soldiers will
surround the capital of the celestial
empire and demand its recapitulation,
Tbey will succeed, and the mediaeval
civilisation of tbe Mongolian race will
be relegated to a by-gone age Life
means activity, and progress indicates
a constant effort in the line of untir
ing energy. Inertia is death, and the
nation tbat chooses to be satisfied
with present attainments will surely
sink into oblivion.
I he Vqmmercial Kevtew, in com
menting on the wheat sjtuatiop, has
thU to say of the Argentine product
"European wheat importers have aim
ply gone mad oyer tbe large crop of
imitation wheat grown in Argentine
Republic last year. It is said that
over fifty million bushels had been
sent to Europe up to August 1, and
that ten million bushels were then on
hand ready to export. That will make
a total of sixty million bushels sent to
Earope, and put fif jt all there is pot a
bushel tbat will matte flour, tbat can
be used alone in making bread. The
I best of it is thin and weak, with an
unpleasant ooor and a bad uoior, and
the great bulk of it ia simply fno
good." It is superior to Indian wheat
in one particular. It is not so nasty,
so loaded and impregnated, with in
describable filth as the Hindoo wheat;
European miller, wb "ty the?
eentine wheat simply because it is
dirt cheap, are very enthusiastic in
its dispraise. Next winter - tbe Ar
gentine weather may prove unfavor
able, and then, in spite of a largely
increased acreage, the heat crop will
sinlr back to its former notch,'

without unforseen complications be may

peculiar. His principal trouble is gran

wbicb tbe kidneys become hard and
change tissue, besides being subject to
atrophy. This is accompanied by Hyper
trophy of tbe heart, resulting from tbe
enlargement of its muscular tissue.
This latter leads to the breathing
difficulty, and is often very painful, the
spasms being complicated by fits of on
coDSciouanesa. This is tbe case with tbe
czar. There Is no dropsy, however.
Diabetes in tbe preliminary stage baa
declared itself, but it is merely sympa

main trouble. When further advanced,
this frequently results in partial or entire
paralysis. , Thus lar, however, tbere does
