Says the Sullivan Union: "McDonald's "key note" is a "whisky note." Every line, word and syllable of it is tuned to tickle the ear of the Liquor dealers. He will find the ignorant and fanatical element will not dance to the music."

By one of thoseacoidents which happen at times in the best regulated families, we were disappointed yesterday in furnishing our readers with tiie full text of Senator Harrison's speech. The remedy is corrected to-day. The speech is not only good enough to keep for twenty-four hours, but for the entire campaign.

It- makes a fellow bick to see what an uphill job we have on hand. The public indebtedness of the world is -said to have reached a sum total of $23,280,414,753. Since J848 the indebtedness has increased at the rate of §489,355,079 each year. If the interest on this indebtedness is at the rate of per cent, it amounts to $098,592,442. This vast sum of interest has to be produced by labor.

J. B. MfcCullagh, editor of the Globe-Democrat, was keel-hauled by an interviewer of the Denver News the jjtlier day. In answer to the question as to who was hischoice for the Republican succession, he said "it is too soon to tell yet. I boomed for Orant two years last time, and got beaten djythe Ohio traders. In 1S7C I was for Blaine, and the Ohio combination downed iiim. If Edmunds lived in a larger State lie might get the nomination.

To the question, "What nbout Arthur?" tie said: •:I don't believe lie will be his own sue cessoj. These infernal hnlf-breeds and Civil Service reformers axe bound to do stroy the Republican party If they pan't gt-t everything in sight, and they will havs (something to say In the conventlon." "Is Grant out of the race?" "Yes, for good." "How will Pennsylvania go in Novem ber?"

I'l am afraid the State is past praying .for." "If the Democrats carry Pennsylvania tliey will be apt to elect the next President, wlil they not?" "They will come very near It," was the carefully weighed response.

If Joseph will exaust his powerful energies in holding the Republican party of Missouri together with strong stays, he can consider himself relieved ofall national jobs.

Our friends over in Spain are in a fair way to pass into the hands of a receiver before long unless they engage the services of an able financier. Several months ago the world was led to believe the most flattering things about the condition of the Spanish treasury. There was lavish expense when that prize royal baby was born. Madrid resounded with the songs of revelers and public games were the order of the day. Still later, a feeling of confidence was established by the announcement that his intense^ Highness, King Alfonso, had conferredsome .©rder or other upon the Prince of 'Wales at an expense of $30,000. This iis presumed to mean that his royal

nibs squandereff-an insignificant gum on the trinket and spent the bulk" of this money in royal display.

As a matter of fact, however, and it is in striking contrast wiMi the above, we learn that Spain is in a most lamentable condition. In many provinces the harvests have failed and new taxes are levied by the Government which the people cannot pay. We hear of conflicts between the authorities and the citizens from almost every quarter In the Balearic Islands the tax gatherers have to be protected by soldiers and policemen: but the goods they, seize find no purchasers at public sale. V^'V-?

The agricultural condition of Spain is backward, its manufactures are lim ited, and its mining industries, which should be immense and valuable, have been greatly depressed. The large sums which it formerly drew from its colonies, Cuba especially, no longer flow into the depleted Treasury. It pays no interest on its debt and the people pay no taxes to the Government To talk of prosperity and internal peace in such a country is absurd. The next step will he the cultivation of a large crop of Socialists and Communists, with everything in the way of plunder to gain and nothing in the way of character to lose. Alfonso must either be kept elegantly misinformed about the true state of his bank account or else he is the ringleader in a conspiracy to drive Spain to ruin.

Where is Castelar all this time? He is the most conspicuous and levelheaded statesman in the entire Spanish outfit. He is the man for the hour. Republican as he is, in feeling and purposes, his resolution has been at times "sicklied o'er" with the toadyism of Spanish tradition about prerogatives of royalty, but at heart he is a lover of his country and understands its needs.

THE MIGHTY FALLEN,

Over in London they are about to take down the huge statue of Wellington that has stood so, long in Hyde Park, and attracted the veneration of Englishmen for forty years. In the same connection we read from the foreign dispatches that the Duke of Connaught, one of the Queen's numerous progeny,,got into a skirmish the other day with his Egyptian brigade, a squad of Bedouin cavalry being his "vis-a vis," and the Duke, standing the glare of the Egyptian sands for a few hours without weakening, was made the occasion of a complimentary dispatch from General Wolseley to the Queen about the gallantry of her son. British bravery, like the kind prevalent in the time of the Iron Duke or when Nelson was monarch of the seas, must have become cheap indeed when a royal commander is specially commended because his heavy brigade of regular dragoons was able to withstand the shock of a few vagabond Arabs! It is time for old Wellington's statue to come down, and if that hero could speak from the spirit land no doubt it would be done with his entire consent.

The British veteran whose memories and traditions carry him back to the palmy days of England's heroism must feel, while reading the mockturtle platitudes from the seat of war on the -Nile, very much like Scipio seated among the ruins of Carthage. Or, as is finely expressed by Dr. Holmes, in his caustic review of French warriors old and new, he would feel like exclaiming— "Give us one hour of old Turennc,

One lift of Bayard's lauce!" In the whole range of warfare, despite the inhumanities practiced on the Sepoys and the African butcheries of later date, .here is no more glowing and brilliant record than England's. The muster roll of her soldiers includes the greatest captains of the age, and tiie unrivaled discipline and hardihood of her regulars .stand out in bold relief in martial history. What may be called the esprit du corps of a British brigade, from Malplaquet to Waterloo, implies more of a determined and invincible martial and national spirit than can be found in the military annals of any country since the marvelouscampaigns ofCiesars. As a p,lain matter of fact the British regular is more than the equal of any soldjer on earth, the numbers being even up. It may not be popular to make the remark, but history is followed when we say that in the War of the Revolution-we outnumbered the British forces almost three to one, and at the battle of Trenton, where numbers were equal, the result was undecided. There is no instance on record where we ever defeated the English, man for man, in the open Held. The maneuvres of Marlborough in Flanders, of Peterborough in the Peninsular campaign, and of Lord Clive when he raised the siege of Patna in India and destroyed the Dutch army and navy at the mouth of the Ganges, are .ujuorgetable instances of military geuius'ancl process. Macaulay well says of Clive: "It is true that Alexander, Conde and Charles the, Twelfth won great battles at an earlier age but those princcswere surrounded by veteran generals of distinguished skill, to whose suggestions must be attributed the victories of the Granicus, of Rocroi and of Narva. Clive, an inexperienced youth, had yet more experience than any of those who had served under him. He had to form himself, to form his officers, and to form his army. The only man, so far as we can recollect, who at an equally early age ever «aye equal proof of talents for war, was Napoleon Bonaparte." And as the same great essayist adds—"the fame of those who subdued Antioclius and Tigranes grows dim when compared with the splendor of the exploits wliifeh the young English adventurer achieved at the head of an army not equal in numbers to one half a Roman legion." And if Clive, with his battle scarred Indian record, liad not blown his brains out in 1774, leaving England dependent on Cornwallis for a warrior, the pages of American history

COREA.

Recent complications in Corea, that little patch of Asia for which China and Japan have been struggling, will lend an interest to descriptions of the political and social condition of thp people. The King, says a correspondent, is a despotic power, and his revenue is derived from a tithe collected on all products, Buddhism is the prevailing religion, though there are other struggling sects. Tho empire of China excrcises a quasi authority* and is paid a yearly tribute of 800 ounces of silver. The Russian empire can, if it desires, assume control of this Gov ernment, as its possessions extend to the Tumen River in the North. There have been many expeditions acting on instructions of foreign Governments, but the King has always refused to receive them. It is a well-known factthat some of the more enlightened inhabitants are desirous of having communication with the outside world. It is to bo presumed tliat the insurrection which has resulted in the dethronement of the King and the slaughter of the Ministers and court attaches found its origin in the discussions attending the treatries with foreign nations.

There is in the country a caste which is as rigid as the Hindoo institution. The King and royal family come first, then the nobility, subdi vided into the civil and military, between whom there exists an intense rivalry. The civilian nobility are the most numerous and in peace succeed in elevating themselves above the military, though in war the soldier assume dictatoral powers. The nobility hold all the offices and have special rights to frequent the court. There are half nobles who occupy clerical positions in the public offices. Then come the merchants, then come the farmers, shepherds, fishermen and so on. The priests, strange to say, are of the lowest class. The system of bondage is recognizedoimiliar to the institution as it existed in Russia. It is not known how th:s custom originated, as the people themselves know little of their own history. Polygamy prevails as in China, and the number of a man's wives depend or. his standing and affluence. No ceremonies attend a wedding. The money is paid and the husband takes his wife home and treats her as he likes. Women are kept very secluded, and never are seen on the streets, save in the summer after 9 o'clock in the evening, when the male population retire and leave the gentler sex in undisputed possession of the thoroughfares. Funerals are conducted without any ceremony whatever, and the body is buried without any ornaments. Noblemen have monuments sometimes erected to perpetuate their memory, but as a rule nothing marks the last resting place of the Corean.

It is claimed that when the country is oj^ned up it will be a magnificent field for missionary work, as the people have scarcely, any regard or respect for their own religion on account of the immorality and degradation of their priesthood. Nowhere can there be found in the East such poor josshouses, and it is not on account of the apathy of the people, but because they scarcely believe in their own religion. •:.

The British win victories in a ppcjillar iway. They telegraph the news of great battles Leforc the fighting begins, and, as they are always victorious, there seems to bo no need of doing any fighting at all. By the way, the prisoners are captured In about the same style.

an echo of her glorious achievements. Wolseley ia a carpet knight compared with the grim, aggressive and indomitable heroes who have carried the flag of St. George into the jaws of dbath. He had a carefully matured flank movement the other day. All was splendidly arranged. The other man carried out his part,of the feint, and when Wolseley drove ahead to:pound the life out of the enemy, he managedto butt, under full sail, against Arabi, with ten thousend men! And this is what we are. asked to fall down and worship as British warfare. "God f6r England, Harry and St. George!" And in the background of this sickly picture con be seen a British Prince of the blood with his stomach turned over the tadpoles in the canal, and acually forced into the Attitude of a national hero for confronting a squad of vagabonds without an attack of congestive chills. Time was when the British regular was a modest but self-sustain-ing factor in military history, and when Princes, despite their origin, learned the elements of war-like distinction. But all this is past. To-day it is todyism and bluster. A slight wound in the hand entitles a Lord to ten lines of telegraph the sophomoric cowardice of a Prince is worth a page of adulation, andjthe capture ofja cheap Arab with a patch on his trowsers commands more attention than the route of a brigade at Waterloo or the storming of the ramparts of Bengal.

FOE LADIES ONLY.

Defending Iheaetlon or Bishop Lallccho of Throe Rivers in assailing women's frizzes, a Montreal rcctor says in a sermon: "Thero is such extravagance now a-daysthatwe cannot Ull the ditrerence between mistress and maid. I defy any one to do it."

That the youthful wives of the Hindoos are much under the personal jurisdiction of their mothers-in-law is a peculiar fact. Appalling consequenccs have been brought to light in a case of suicide in Bombay. The wife, a child in"*Jlgc, who committed self-destruction, was driven to it by the persecution at tlie hands of her husband's mother. The Coroner said that by far the largest number of female Hin doo suicides are those of women between the ages of 12 and 20 and that the cause is in nearly every ease, the despotism of a mother-in-law.

Parasols are important items, especially this year, when so many changes are demanded by fashion. Clever girls who have several dresses of different shades, and who can not afTord to have a different sunshade for each, manage to make a single one do duty for all by nrrangins differ eut covers which they slip on according to the dress to bo worn. These casings rather put the skill of tho worker to the test, as the cutting of the tapering divisions needs great exactitude, and the seams very particular sewing to render them perfectly flat but the great stumblingblock is the matching 'of the design, which must not show a single break, True, defects may be hidden by flowers, lace, or ribbons, and, in fact, tho most expensive and dressy parasols present a picture of perfect disorde.

It seems, after the financial crisis of this year gold will be very, very scarce however, if it is not to be found in the pock' ets, it gleams, out of revenge, In every de tail of the toilet. Small capotes or Princess bonnets are adorned with lace called ragons d'or, because it reproduces every shade of luminous yellow the filmy mass is caught up here and there with sapphire clasps, in harmony with the front bow and strings of sapphire ribbon However, for a change, coral is eomin into favor, both as a trimming and as a color. Wo were quite relieved to see a lovely bonnet in Ivory BurgeS lacc, ornamented on tlie side by a huge tuft of real coral a spray of the same attached to the lace strings. In elegant keeping were the coral earrings and the large pinklbuttons which closed the dust-cloak of ivorycolored foulard.

He had never told his love, their ac(juaiptpnep haii b.een a yery short one', and when suddenly he had placed her arms about his nook and imprinted a kiss upon her rosebud mouth, she was naturally startled. "Sir," she said "this is insufferable." "Forgive me!" ho cried, "I was mad to act thus. I beseech you, pardon nje," "No, I can never forgive you, never you have forfeited my friendship. Ypu must leave me at once and forever."

Vainly he pleaded she was obdurate. So glaring an offense could not bo condoned.

And so he said he would go. His whole ^ifp would be embittered, for lie felt that Jipr jingge goiild never be effaced from his heart. "I will go," he said sadly, .'lnjt Jiefore I leave there is one boon that I would rink.

Miss Reeves was absent at boarding school, having returned home a month ago on her summer vacation. The parents of the runaway girl had noticed thai a strong attachment existed between their daughter and Jackson, but thought nothing strange of it until Friday morning, when it was found that she had disappeared during the night, as had also Jackson. A note was found in. Miss Reeves' room stating that she had gone away with Jackson, but failing to state where. It is thought the couple started for New York.

Peoria Transcript. Harry Bascom, the actor who lost both his legs by freezing last winter, is on the stage again, and his reappearance is chronicled as the first thing of the kind on record—an actor with two wooden legs. It is perhaps worthy of note as an exceptional incident for the reason that actors generally carry their, wood at the other end of their bodies.

V" Reflection on Editors. Denver Tribune. The announcement that a number of Iowa editors were robbed of $-100 at'Manitou will be received with a considerable degree of incredulity. The fact that nobody else complained of having been relieved of that amount of money beforo the Iowa editors were held up will tend to confirm the suspicion that'tho Iowa editors never had the sum they claim to have lost.
