A Modem BeOwrlttt An ex-^'Mier writing to the Chica­ go Inter Ocean, says: Belisarius was the greatest general of the Byssantine Empire. At the age of 25 he won a great victory over the Per­ sians and crushed a rebellion against Justinian. At 28 he conquered Carthage and carried away captive the Vandal king He defended Borne for a year "gsisst the entire powsr of the Gotus, captured Ravenna, and with it the Gothic king. So great was his skill and heroism that the Ostrogoths wished to acknowledge hin "femperor of the West." His loyalty to Justinian never wavered.

The Democratic leaders are already in a quandary. 'They nave appealed to the passions of the ignorant and have won a victory far beyond their own expectations and they are not happy. What they wanted was not tariff reform, nor free trade, nor wild cat money, but office. They had hoped that the Senate would have re­ mained Republican, in which case they could have proposed the most radical measures to please the mass of the party, and these being promptly squelched by the Senate, they could •have turned to the country and have exclaimed: "There, you see it is not our fault! We did our best." Now, however, the road is clear be­ fore them and they must act, and they are already at sixes and sevens as to how they shall act. The party, led by the Southern Bridtrdiers, clam- org lordly for sn Gstm session in or- der, as their leader, Henry Watter- son, said, Mto uproot and rip up all vestige of protection with every cir­ cumstances of infamy." The other party wants to go slow, to be careful and conservative, and to do nothing until the next Congress meets in De­ cember, 1893. Now, without regard to politics or partisanship, what Is best for the country? Surely to know what Che definite purpose of the Democratic party is with regard to the tariff. If the Democrats do not touch the tariff till the next Congress convenes it will be late in the spring of 1894 before they can pass any bill. This means nearly two years of uncertainty for the business world, and that means an absolute stoppage of all enterprise. No man will buy more than his immediate needs. No man will start a factory, order new ma­ chinery or take the slightest business risk. No bank will dare continue giving accommodation to such of its customers as are manufacturers. No importer will dare order goods ahead except on actual orders from the most responsible firms. A contrac­ tion of the volume of business done will take place such as this country has never seen before. If the Democrats wish to avoid precipitating an industrial panic within nine months let them call an extra session and let the country, the manufacturers and Importers know exactly what they have to expect. Call that extra session. >v These are some of the reasons why patriotic young Americans should be ^ *' .Rcpigblicans. , '7s. * The First Scream of the Wildcat. A. {$3*1, A11 through the recent campaign 'i . there was a studied effort on the l^ ̂ g^part of the Democracy to cover up ^V-'^l'{;'t'and brush aside as an unmeaning bit ' • of platform buncombe the State bank money plank. The people „would seem to have seen in the wild- 'Vy^Icat, so conspicuously displayed by » the Republican press and speakers a gpoojj, The apparition was treated as merely the ghost of a wild ^ *;beast slain by the war, as extinct ^and harmless as the veritable wild- •A-VJ;cat of the animal kingdom. In (c -pioneer days this and other wild . beasts prowled about the cabin and roamed the woods and prairies, caus- I ing a great deal of apprehension and some loss of life, but they have dis- S •' J appeared, no more to return forever. jT *> 'Those, however, who thought that !;• ; the wildcat of State bank bills be- ' longed to -thr* past only would do well & to note this fact: One of the first - \ 'acts of the first Legislature to meet Sfoa. / 'S:V" after the election was to take step* /.j toward the carrying out of the pledge i> 5j£>?:;'to repeal the 10 per cent, prohibitory tax, which would be the uncaging of * f' y, the wildcat. In the Georgia Logis- ^^:;-.^'?$."?lature, just after the election, one of f " ' the members promptly introduced a / ^/"resolution calling upon the Dem-^ > ;•" v ocracy to fulfill that repeal pledge, i j Every Populist voted against it, but it passed both houses. A Washing­ ton dispatch says,, in commenting upon this fact: There are probably a dozen bill» which f-" have been introduced in the present Congress' for the repeal of the 1ft per s, ̂ " cent, tax on State banks. Senators Daniel, of Virginia, and Vance, of H , V, Kprth Carolina, Reciprocity Depends on Protection. It is none too soon for Americans to understand that the repeal of the McKinley law will at once have the effect of checking the growth of our foreign commerce where it is growing most, and where. it has the best chance of continuing to grow. The reason of this is obvious. The value of a reciprocity arrangement with any given nation, Brazil, for instance, depends upon the advantage which is given to that nation over other na­ tions with which we protect our markets. Reciprocity is made effect­ ive only by protection. Those free traders who profess to wish to build up our foreign com­ merce by pulling down our domestic commerce will not deceive any level­ headed business man into acquies­ cence in their plans. It is plain that our foreign commerce has the best chance of growing in the direction of our West Indian, Central American, ahd South American neighbors, who are disposed to favor us because we favor them. The way to make for­ eign commerce grow is to watch closely those lines along which it is disposed to grow, and to conserve every such tendency, not to inter­ rupt it by legislation that removes the condition of its growth. Shall we hate foreign trade with the nations that are anxious to in­ crease our markets, or with those that are anxious to invade our markets? That is a question with which the conservative business men of the country will soon be confronted. - - By General Consent. It seems to be a matter of general newspaper consent that Mr. Harrison will leave the presidential chair with­ out a stain on his official life. He has universal respect. His formal 'state papers are in an elevated strain, while his public speeches have gone on record as unsurpassed in thought and diction by any predecessor. He has filled a difficult position with dig­ nity and ability. He will retire with the respect and admiration of the best men in all political parties.--North­ western Christian Advocate. j. hi aid Be Held to Its Pledges. The Democracy should keep ( its pledges. If protection is a fraud we want to know it. If the Democracy has been lying, as we believe it has. we want to know it, too, without de­ lay.

NOTHING NEW* VUm country being invaded and overrun by | the Northern barbarians he was called i upon to organize an army and drive i them back into their own countries. This he did, and as a reward for this and other historic achievements Justinian confiscated the old hero's oroperty and threw him into prison. He was finally released from prison, but his eyes were put out and from that time until his death he wandered sightless and home­ less through the country that he had spent his life in defending. Beliearius is a true symbol of the Re­ public.m party. The cartoonist should use his picture instead of the ele­ phant. The Republican party commenced its career by crushing out a rebellion aga'nst its sovereign--the people. Tt released and set free 5,000,000 prisoners of state held for life competing with the laborers and mechanics of the country. It gave the peop'.e, for the lirst time in the history of the coun'.ry, a sound, sta­ ble currency, as good ai* gold. It has stood like a wall between the workmen of the TnUed States and Ihe almost pauper labor of the over-crowde J coun­ tries of England. It has raised up and organized new fields of industry tor the people. It has given such prosperity to the country as no oiher nation in all history can show. It has compelled the respect of all foreign countries. And now, while engaged in completing the crowning work of establishing the commercial independence, its sovereign --the people--h»s stripped It of »'• power, and cast it out as unworthy of confidence as a reward lor its heroism and fidelity. The sovereign people have chosen that political siant, that Intellectual microbe, that malignant defamer of the soldier, to succeed the soldier statesman; and a political assassin instead of one of the ablest diplomates of the day. Mr. Cleveland never loses an oppor­ tunity to show dishonor to the soldier of the I nion, never a chance to exalt one who fought against the Union. Ihe people's indorsement of Mr. Cleveland dishonors every man who wore tho "blur*," living and dead. Sons have dis­ honored their fathers who gave up their lives for the country. Treason is ex­ alted and loyalty is an illusion. Belisarius is stripped of all power. It only Remains to assume tho payment of the Confederate bonds and he is sight­ less.

Cowards or-Wh^J # The Democratic party nas a dilem­ ma before it from which there is no escape. If the Democratic press and orators have told the truth, then it is the obvious duty of the party to rescue the country from the evils in which Democrats say the nation has been plunged under Republican rule. To shirk such an obvious duty would be cowardice baser than that of a runaway from the field of battle. Assuming that the men who made gross charges against the Republican party are not a set of knaves, then it Is to be presumed that they believed what they said to be true. If they believed it to be true, they would be guilty of despicable treachery not to right the wrongs they allege to exist The Republican party turns over the country, as it not only believes but knows, happy, prosperous, and flourishing. From the 4th of March next the Democrats will be in abso­ lute control. For any changes for the worse that party will be responsi­ ble. The Democracy has declared its ability to make changes for the better. Let it try, or else ^confess thiat the late election was carried by fraud, bunco, and falsehood, une- qualed even In the annals of Demo­ cratic campaigning. The World's Wheat. In 1891 the United States raised 607.000,000 bushels of wheat, a little more than one-quarter of all the wheat raised in the world. The crop for 1892 is placed at 491,000,000 bush­ els. It certainly will not exceed 500,000,000 bushels. The total wheat crop of the world for 1892 is close to 2,- 310,000,000 bushels, agai ns12,400,000, - 000 for 1891. The total crop of South America this year is 57,000,000 bush­ els, and of the Canadas 55,000.000 bushels, making 603,000,000 bushels for the western hemisphere, against 716,000,000 in 1891. England only produces 65,000,000 bushels, while France grows 310,000,000, Russia 210,000.000, and Hungary 140,000,- 000. Italy produced, in 1892, 115,- 000,000 bushels, Germany 100,000,- 000, and Austria 50,000,000. India this year produced 200,000,000 bush­ els, 50,000,000 less than last year. Spain, too, produces much wheat. The greatest wheat-consuming people on the globe are those of the United States. We consume now at the rate of 300,000,000 bushels a year. Eu­ ropeans use immense quantities of rye where we use wheat. We con­ sume each year not less than a barrel of flour for every man. woman, and child of our population, and the wheat is so grown that every barrel of this flour has to be carried by rail or water one thousand miles, on an average, to get it to the consumer.

We pride ourselves on living in «ni age of discovery and invention, and pity our ancestors"for being born too soon. But much of this is misplaced says William Alva. The real truth seems to be that the ancients knew about everything we know, only the knowledge was not generally diffused. The learned man 2,000 or 3,000 j'ears ago was so far superior to the majority that he was regarded as a wi&aru, ana prudentiy kept his learn­ ing to himself. In our schools of the present day, we use "Euclid's Elements of Geome­ try," written by Euclid 2,200 years ago. Euclid also wrote on music and optics, antedating much which we think we discovered. The science of optics must have been pretty far advanced In his day, because we know that Alexander the Great had a copy of the "Iliad" in­ closed in a nutshell, and it is quite certain that it could not have been written without the aid of a micro­ scope. Layard found in the ruins of Nine­ veh what Sir David Brewster pro­ nounced to be a | "magnifying-glass," and nearly 4,000 years ago the Egyp­ tians and Assyrians observed the stars through a sliding tube/' which we have reason to believe was a teles­ cope. We make some very fine razors at the present day, but we can not make any finer steel than that contained in the Damascus swords and knives which the ancients used several thou­ sand years ago. At the same, time the people of Tyre were such experts in dyeing that the Tyrian purple Remains unexcelled to this day. The Egyptians were also wonderful dyers, and could produce colors so durable that they may be called imperishable. The ancients were wonderful glass- workers and discovered a method of making it malleable, which we have not been able to da They could spin glass into garments, dye it In everv shade of the rainbow, and etch it with marvelous skill. * Twenty centuries before the birth of Watt, Hero of Alexandria de­ scribed machines whose motive power was steam. He also invented a double force pump, used as a fire-en­ gine, and anticipated the modern turbine wheel by a machine he named "Neolpile." -7 Electricity derives its name from the Greek word for amber, electron, because Thales, about 600 B. B.. dis­ covered that amber, when rubbed, at­ tracts light and dry bodies and in the twelfth century the sc entitle priests of Etruria drew lightning from the clouds with iron rods. All the mechanical powers* the screw, lever, pu.ler, Incline plane, wedge, wheel, and axle, were known to the ancients and used in every-day life. They were expert builders, as existing relk-s testify. The ancient Gauls used a reaping- machine. Hobbs gave his name to a lock found in the tomb of Egypt. Natural gas conveyed in bamboo tubes was utilized in China centur­ ies ago, and one of the Mongolian au­ thors writes of ooxes which repeated the sound of voices of men long since dead--an approximation to the phon­ ograph of Edison. In medical skill the oriental physi­ cians of India practiced vaccination 1,000 years old. Anaesthetics were know in the davs of Homer, and the Chinese 2,000 years ago had a prep­ aration of hemp known as "unayo," to deaden pain--something similar to the modern cocaine. Coins were stamped with engraved dies so far back that we have lost the record, and movable types are said to have been known to the Romans. In all that pertains to sculpture and painting the ancients knew so much that their superiority has never been questioned, and their work re­ mains as unsurpassed models. We may say with truth that much ot our boasted-light and mechancial wisdom is but the match put once again to the old candle of our ances­ tors. The old times were days of war and oppression, and the inven tor hid bis invention for fear of be­ ing robbed. The vast majority had no money to buy a laboring device, even if they hid brains to use it. It was not a practical age, and the knowledge,'as well us wealth, wai confined to the few. Nowadays an invention of value spreads over this world like a flash of gunpowder, and in the light of modern cornmom sense the invention of the common friction match has doubtless done more for the good of mankind all the discoverieo of antiquity. urged, "unless ye repent ye shall as surely perish," placing one of his fin­ gers on the wing of a blue lly which alighted on his Bible, and having his right hand uplifted.J4,jimt as sure, mv friends, as 111 flatten this blue f l y " * Before the blow was struck the fly got off, upon which t.he minister, at the top of h is voice, exclaimed:1 • 'Ah, weel!

Some will instantly close upon the slightest touch. Some will flutter, ae if in alarm, upon sudden exposure to in­ tense light. Some seem possessed of limited powers of locomotion. A certain species of wild-oats, when placed upon a table, w 11 spontan­ eously move; pea-blossoms always turn their backs upon the wind; the heliotrope always faces the sun, the tulip opens its petals when the weather is fine, but closes them dur­ ing rain and darkness; the pond-lily closes its pure white leaves at night, as it lies on its waterv bed, but un­ folds them again in the morning. On the other hand some flowers optn only at nlurht. That splendid flower, the night-bloom ing cereus, is of this kind; it opens but once, and that in the nij;ht, for a few hours only, then wilt sand dies, without ever admitting the light of day Into its bosom. Some open and shut at certain hours, and that so regularly as to in­ dicate the time of a ay, like the sin- drimal of Hihdostan, which opens at 4 in the evening and closes at 4 in the morning.

Why Urouchjr Failed to Come. r- Had Marshal Grouchy come to the assistance of Napoleon at Waterloo the battle might easily have been won by the French and the entire course of modern European history might have been changed. But he did not come and disaster followed. He was afterward severely blamed for his inaction, and though he de­ fended himself vigorously he never re­ covered his previous popularity. He was, no doubt, justly censurable to a certain degree for tailing to adapt himself to circumstances, but on the whole, the judgment of military critics has been favorable to him. Grouchy was during the hundred days in command of an army operat­ ing in Belgium. At Fleurus and Ligny be fought successful battles and received imperative orders from Napoleon to follow up the Prussian army and Blucber to prevent their joining the English. This command he obeyed to the letter, though sev­ eral of the subordinate generals en­ treated him to march to Waterloo. Thus it was that he failed to appear at the critical moment when his army corps was so earnestly looked for by iue eiupefOr. Marshal Grouchy was born Oct. 28, 1766. Iii&4 death occurred May 29, 1847, Hnsband and Wile. In the union of husband and wife, which is the most intimate and con tldential relationship on earth, ther< must be something more than super­ ficial ^miration, the one for th< other. These two have pledged tc one another a life-long consecration. Their interests are to be in common. Nothing can affect one without equally affecting the other. For wea! or woe, they have joined hands, anc to the whole outside world they pre sent a united front.

"We decided," said a man whose long life has been singularly tranquil and satisfactory -- «'we decided, my wife and I, when we were married, that we would never let the sun go down on any lack of peace between us.
