A Protty Romanco of Plaina. tbo Groat Hapebrush und sand sand and sagebrushsagebrush and hand again, before, behind, on ither side, as far sis tho eye could reaclu All the afternoon the "overland" had been creeping across the band plains of the great American desert, and to the passengers in the Pullman oars especially to those who disliked eards, were too nervous to read, or who didn't care to drink the journey was growing very tiresome. It really seemed, to the more imaginative ones, that the refrain of the car wheels was: "Sagebrush and sand, sagebrush and sand " The weary afternoon draped slowly "by, and the conductor of the dining car came through to announce dinner a diverson, at least, "Ahl" remarked one tourist, suddenly, in a gratified tone; "there's a typical fecenc for you, me boy." Against the red back-ground made by the rays of the setting sun, a short distance from the track, sat a solitary horseman, motionless, one hand resting1 on the pommel of his saddle, tho other 1n the act of pushing back from his forehead his wide-brimmed white hat. Then, just as the rear cars of the train approached, ho suddenly took off the hat. waved it, jammed his spurs into his wiry little bronco, and started to race with the train, yelling at the top of his lungs. At the end of a quartermile or so, he slowed up, drew his re--volvcr and fired a parting salute into the air, accompanying the volley with 4L few more wild howl. Tho occupants of the Pullmans were amused; they had not seen anything so interesting for a long time. The tourist who had first observed the horse man sighed, and declared he envied the cowboy he really did. "How thev must enjoy it, this wild. free life of the plains, without a worry or a care nothing to uo but commune -with nature when they feel restless, to be able to indulge in a wild. reekJess gallop suitable to the mood- andnd -er all that, don't you know?" Hut it did not strike Teddy MacLcn nan, cowboy, that er way at all. don't vou know? He was just think ing how oppressively tiresome that wild, free life of his was getting to be with Nothing to do but work, Nothing to cat but food und Nowhere to go but out. Nowhere to cows but In" And, for tho rest, nothing to do but get drunk or amuse ones self like a howl lug maniac, as he had just been doing for the delectation of the "tendcrfeet." "Hit's sho' hell," he reflected, as he continued beside the track, giving the "bronc" a "breather" "hit sho is, an I'm good 'n' tired, 1 am; but what t do? Seems like we all gits shif less. hit does: jes' pluggin' along an' workin' hard an' playin' hard likewise (ontell the stun gives out), an' no nirthly reason f'r bein' alive "Great sacrificed Wnsh'n'fnl" he ejaculated suddenly, jerking up his horse, "I'll swallcr a snake, I will!" I heard the story from Jerry Mad den. Teddv's present partner in tho cattle business, a couple of years ago, us we sat in the shade of the ranchhouse one afternoon. "Why, Teddy don't drink, an' like wise swears quito few?" he asked, in response to a query of mine. "That Sho'. he hain't tuk nothin' fr most twelve 'r thirteen year, 'count o' his hid. 'Married." Oh! no, none whatever. They hain't no helfor gits Teddy, not much. 'Why?' Give it up.

Moreoverwore, Ted 'd lie'n tankln' up quite plenty that day, ho had, an' was dead leary o' what might bo th' matter of 'his peeps.

Hut we gits no word, not a bloomin' shout, so Ted jes' bran's th' kid fr his'n, an' pr'eeeds t' raise 'or (think o Ted, which th' same

Ted was a howlin' wolf, a reg'lar ol' hyena b'fore that, but after th' kid comes, he braces right up an gits good, none o' th' gang objeetin', 'cause they savvies why he does it. "After th kid was 'bout nino r ten years old, we nil don't get t' see much of 'er. 'cause Ted, havin' laid up some dough, sends 'cr off t' school 'She's a sho 'nough thor'ughbred, she is,' says Teddy, 'an' she gits no scrub traiuin'.

SUGAR TRU5T DOMINATION. UjlilrrniiH-iiii Coiuifi'tloii lletwiu tin Km bit-Cliitmlirr und Wull Mrri-t IlittV Million An ,ti 1 1 Ii IC'ilill)'. The sugar trust U npitallzed at S7V OOOiiOO. As fully two-thirds of this amount is water, the market price of KX) wortli of stock should be about 5:10. Owing, however, to the monopoly which controls the ndlning business ami the many advantages which our reliners have in supplying our markets with refined sugar, it is likely that, even without any protection whatever, Migur stock might sell as high as 4. or 50. M'rlist stock selling at ,0 would indicate profits of 10 or Pi per cent, ou actual capital. The difference between BO and the actual market price of sugar stock represents the beneficial effects

to the trust of tariff legislation. M'he present selling price being above 100 it is certain that the owners of trust stock expect to make 1- or 15 per cent, a year out of the sugar duty which is now promised thorn by the senate. On .lanunry VI, when Warner's free sugar amendment passed the house, sugar fell from t.V-' to 0. M'he decline continued until Pebmary I, the date on whieli the tariff bill passed the house, when sugar sold for 7.V. Undoubtedly the decline would have been much faster and greater had not thu sugar magnates, in the meantime, turned their attention to the senate where two or thcee traitors, masquerading as democrats, held the balance of power. Negotiations having been concluded with these democrats for revenue, whereby they agreed to defeat or delay all tariff legislation, by making a sham light against the income tax clause or under cover of special demands for local industries (compensation depending upon the extent of the opposition promised), the price of sugar stock at once began to rise. On March -'0, the day before the new tariff bill was reported in the full senate committee, sugar jumped to '.n. The New York World, which believes that there is a subterranean connection between Wall street and the senate chamber which has been worth millions to certain "insiders" und to certain senators, says that on this day (March 'JO), ".senator Mriee was in conference with Mr. liavemeyer," of the sugar trust. M'he trust did not cease its efforts. M'wo more concessions have been made to it. In each ease the concession was heralded hv sudden advances in the prit'e of stocks several days before the finance committee had announced puo- j Hcly that the sugar schedule had been j modified. On April '-Ml sugar sold for 100V M'he World said on -May : "The report that the schedule was to be changed became generally known, although there were many who were skeptical. Sugar continued to rise on inside information." "Sugar quoted April "J7. 103 V. "And still no word from the finance jommittee. Everybody about the sen ate, from the clerks up. was operating n sugar. Kverylwdy was sugar mad. M'wo days later came Secretary Carlisle's interview, which furnished the first official confirmation of a change In the sugar schedule to an ad valorem basis. "Sugar quoted April 30, 107ff. "And suirar still risimr. Why this rapid advance is explained ny wie vaiue of she concessions prophesied." On May 5 sugar .sold for 10'.. M'liis great advance of X points over the price of February 1. lias enhanced the market value of sugar stock over 835,000,000. Perhaps 30.000.000 of this increase went to the clique of "insiders" who were bold enough to waylay the senate. Perhaps the remaining S5.000,000 hns lieen put where it will do the most trood as a reward for 'senatorial courtesy" shown the trust. This courtesv promises a bill which will give a gratuity of about 815,000.000 a vear to the trust. If this courtesy can prevent the passage of any tariff eirislation it will allow the trust to continue to enjoy a gratuity of nearly S'-'O.OOO.OOO. Another evidence that sugar stocks have been manipulated on private tips from the senate chamber anil that the sugar trust bus uictaieu legislation is ... . ... supplied by the Sugar iraile .Journal. the organ of the trust. M'his journal, with remarkable foresight, made an emphatic prophecy on April 5. of what would come to pass. On May 3 this journal said boastingly, foolishly and threateningly: "It seems to be generally conceded that if any tariff bill is to be passed it will contain a sugar schedule stich us suggested in ours of April 5, placing 40 per cent, ad valorem duty on all sugurs, with one-eighth cent per pound extra on all sugars above No. 10 Dutch standaril, and one-tenth cent per pound more on sugar from bounty countries." Tliis is in fact exactly what was reported on May 7, to the senate committee. ItvitoN M. Holt. PROTECTION AS IT IS. Kxtruct from the Swch of Daniel 4V. Voorhifft, I'nltfil mute Hrimtor fron Imbun. M'he protective system is ono of indescribable Injustice nnd oppression. I will not stop to consider the vast individual robberies committed in protected markets, the. untold and incalculable millions of blackmail levied by American manufacturers, M'he McKinley bill, unlimited in its scope and purposes of spoliation nnd plunder. In carrying out tho interests and declared wishes of toiling millions as contra distinguished from powerful and favored classes obstacles have, of course, been encountered, gigantic in size, arrogant, insolent, dictatorial nnd in some instances .sinister, perfidious and dishonest in character. The natural selfishness of the human heart has been educated, developed, fed. nourished, pampered here on American soil by the government itself until it now stands not only revealed but confessed as a giant robber, a predatory monster, obstructing the highways of legislation and challenging legislators thcnisolves to stand and deliver. Manufacturing interests are now the colossal taskmasters of the whole pco-

pie, commanding tribute from every day's labor beneath the sun. Those who ovwi and represent those swollen and arrogant interests do not hesitate to declare on what terms a bill vitally affecting 70,000.000 of people will be permitted to become a law. "'lie thoroughly protected and selfcomplacent American manufacturer, Nile master of his own market and incarnation of human selfishness. M'he lowest depths of human depravity may be raked in vain for a baser or more infamous scheme (protection) by which to obtain money dishonestly. I arraign those who hinder nnd ob

struct tariff reform in the name of pro tection to labor, as shams and betrayers of the iK'ople and of the truth. I devoutlv believe that the limit ol endurance lias been reached; that the time has come for test to be made be tween the power of hoarded money and the power of productive labor; that the people from this time forward, more than ever before, will organize and take rapid and heroic measures against the continued and brutal dictation of the plutocracy, against the rule and supremacy of tho rich in shaping tho financial policy of this government in their own interests. In his speech in favor of the revenue tariff of 1SK, Hannibal Hamlin exebilmed: "Protection! Protection to American labor! It is the protection the wolf gives to the lamb and tho vul ture to its prey." VOICE OF NEW YORK. Tin- Ki'iiutr Ailiiiotilli.l Tlutt a Little .Mor Activity I XTimry. On May 3 a big mass meeting was held in Cooper union, in Xew York city, to condemn the inaction of the senate on the tariff bill. 1 no meeting was held under the auspices of the Heforin club. The call, which was signed h$ 150 of Xew York's leading businesri firms and men. asked for the immediate uassaire of the tariff bill "with or with out the income tax." On .May 4 the New York World said: "The Cooper union meeting last night showed dearly what the people of this great center of the country's trade desire. "Thev want tariff reform. They want an end put to delay that has been hurtful. Thev want the Wilson bill passed without further waste of time. "This was the substance of all the speeches made there by men who have a right to speak for the metropolis, who know its needs and the desires ol its people. It was the meaning of the enthusiasm aroused by the words of the speakers. The meeting was significant upon another point of interest also. It brought out strongly the fact that the World was right when it told Senatoi Hill that he misinterpreted .New iorH sentiment as to the income tax. Mr. lames C. Carter was applauded to the echo when he frankly declined himself in favor of that feature of the pending bill, and characterized an income tax is the fairest of all possible ways of raising a revenue in an emergency like that to which reckless pension legisla tion lias brought us. Mr. Coudert was hissed bv about three to one bf the audience when he criticised tho income tax feature, though he protested his n:idiness to accent it as a condition of tariff reform. "There never was any rcinson to sup pose that one in three of Xew York's voters would obieet to this lust tax, as there was never any reason why they should do so. "In urging the .speedy passage of tho tariff bill Xew York speaks for the business and industrial interests of the whole country, for those who have money and those who have none, for capitalist and laborer, for the captains ol industry and for tli ranK ami nie. The democratic senators have decided to stand toe-ether and iks the Wilso bill. Let them do it quickly." A llllIl'OU SurNTMltloii. In anv conceivable form the Wilson bill will have valuable features and be n trreat improvement over the Melvin lev bill. It will doubtless be thickly scarred also with weak "concessions' nnd absurdities. Put the passage ol even a sadly imperfect bill will have the effect of breakingdown the hideous superstition to which the republican nartv has enslaved itself, nnd tried to enslave the country, for the past dozen years. Manufactories will not be her tactically closed. Farmers will eon tinue to cultivate t.ie soil and mer chants to buy and sell, and railroads and steamships to go on with the bus iness of transportation. After a brief experience of the fact that the industry of man anil the national resources of the country can produce prosperity nnd happiness independently of the all-wise fiats of a McKinley or a Harrison, it would be possible to discuss questions of taxation and settle its details like rational beings and not like frightened savages cutting themselves with Hints before an uirlv idol. It is because tarifl reformers look forward to such a time thut they are comparatively indifferent to the imperfections of the bill that will usher it in. X. Y. Post. Tim Winning Ilnctrlne. We call the attention of our readers to the very interesting communication we publish revealing the causes and reiil meaninLr of the lato democratic victory in Ohio. M'liis success was due to making a clear issue on tho tariff.

The Israelites Urged to Go. In onr last lesson the Israelites were hnsily vm-paring1 for their departure. Tho time had been set. 1 he hour had come. While they were still engaged in celchrating their first Passover feast, at midnight the Lord smoto all tho firstborn of Egypt, from the firstborn of lMiaraoh, that sat upon tho throne, to the ilrstborn of the captlvo that was in the dungeon (Ex. 1S:20). Tho last and greatest Strohe had fallen. The whole land of Egypt was now in intense excitement There was a great cry, for thero was not a liouso where there was not one dead, lhero was no longer a refusal of Moses' re quest. On tho contrary, Pharaoh could not wait till morning before lie sent to Moses, and bade him be gone with all the people. The KeiHlezvous. The first journey of the Israelites was from tameses to Succoth (Iii: 37). These are not towns. hut districts. Haincses was "the land of Itamescs," which is spoken of as identical with Goshen, or at least with the western portion of it. Itlay along the Wady Tumilat. the line of tho present Sweetwater canal, and was shaped like a cornucopia, with its broader end toward the Jule. hrom all portions of the land this people assembled to Succoth as their place of rendezvous. Succoth ("a place of tents" or booths) was a district (not a town) lying at the eastern end of the Wady Tumilat, along tho line of tho la Ices. I'ithom, lately discovered by M. 2saville, twelve miles west of Ismailia, was probably the chief store city lying on its western border. Their Numbers. There were 000,000 men, besides cnuuren, urn a mtxeu multitude (12:.."). This would naturally imply about 2,000,000 in all. Hut Prof, mills J. Ueecher, of Aiibiirnlhcological seminary, in a lecture not long ngo, suggested thut the enumeration may havo been technical, just as we count an army. A regiment consists of 1,000 men, while often, in various ways, not more than 400 or flOO aro present, und yet we call it a regiment. Six hundred thousand may lio equivalent to Ö0O regiments, "the thousands" containing' but a few hundreds, so that there may not have been more than 300,000 men, or a million In all. Tho same reckoning is used in numbering the houses in Philadelphia and other cities. Tho Pursuit by Pharaoh. Several days have now passed since the Israel ites, in nn hour of great excitement. wero given their freedom. Itut soon the laborers were missed from their places, tho houses were empty, tho fields had no flocks, the public works were stopped for want of bricks and men to lay them. hen, therefore, Pharaoh saw that the Israelites had turned back, as if afraid, and wero agaia in Egypt, ho thought they wero cbnfused and bewildered (so the word "entangled" U:y means), ind they were in his power, because he held tho defenses of tho great wall, which reached to the itnpassablo Ued sea. He therefore takes his six hundred chosen chariots, and sets out to overtake tho fugitives, ordcringother chariots in different parts of Egypt (of which Diodorus Siculus says that Rameses II. had twenty-seven thousand) to follow. Tho Place of Crossing- the lied Sea. Thero have been many theories as to the place where tho Israelites crossed the Hod sea. Hut it is now almost certain that, either one or tho other of two theories must be in tho raain correct. (1) Dr. Trumbull has advanced somo most able arguments in favor of tho Gulf of Suez, tho place advocated by many scholars. "The Israelites crossed near tho town of Suez, on extensive shoals which run toward the southeast, in the direction of Ay tin Musa (tho Wells of Moses). The distance is about thrco miles at high tide. This is tho most probable theory. Near hero Napoleon, deceived by tho tidal wave, attempted to cross in 1709, and nearly met tho fato of Pharaoh." Nicbuhr crossed at this point in 1702, on a dromedary, somo Arabs, who wero up to their lenecs In water, accompanying bim on foot (2) The other theory is that of Principal Dawson, one of the leading geologists of tho world, in Iiis Egypt and Syria, and in his still later (ISS9) Modern Science in Bible Lands. Ho as a geologist believes that nt this time tho lied sea extended much father north than no w.aud that tho Hitter lakes were thcu tho northern extremity of tho lied sea, and that the crossing was at tho southern part of tho Hitter lakes.
