The defects of congress us a law-
makiiig body bavo licen inure apparent
during tho last few years than in the
curlier tlnys of ihe republic, nisi now
force themselves upon the attention of
every thinking citizen. The house has
practically abandoned its right and

every citizen lire driven through that
body uuder the whip of the previous

of tlie necessity of acting. It could not
preserve its liberty without givlug up
Its power to legislate. On the other
hand, the sunate, a very much smaller
Insly, has preserved Ihe right of de

club, whose mcuibcm are perfectly
willing to let the business of the coun

nobody pays much attention to what

It Is nn arrangement that cannot con-,

Whether Sir. Taylor hus found tlie

The iunnlfeat,i Issued by Jhe Kolb
leaders, prlutisl in tho newspapers yes
terday, Is n very remarkable document
—perhaps the most remarkable that tbc
history of political parties in this coun
try e«n show, tt Isnr* a, close resem
blance, however, to Hie manifestoes of
thu revolution makers of Spanish An.or
lean countries, nnd tho Intentions or the
men who Issue It arc much the ramie.
Apparently, like their Hpun.sh-Ameri
can prutotypi-s, having fulled to gain
power through legal method*, they In
tend to seizo upon It by force, under
the pretense that they ure'actiuited'by
the higliest, most tmnclllsli motives. If
this la not tliclr lutcullou, the follow
ing paragraphs of their manifesto linve
a meaning too obscure for the ordianry
rottiler to tllseovcr:
•The condition In thta atate has reached
a dim**. There ta no doubt that the
atate ticket beaded by Cspt. H. F. Kolb
has been elected. The alternative I* pre-
•enled ot submission to wrong, maolt and
robbery, br to assert the sovereign power
before which thruneo totter, sceptre* tall
and the outrages of the tyrants reuse.
That attemattvo must meet a reaponac
front manhood or silent aubmlaoton from
those unworthy of cltltenihlp. A proud
and cMVnlnm* people, worthy of freedom,
cannot shirk the responsibilities the situa
tion enforces. A distinguished i-atrtol has
asserted that 'the man who will not tight
for hta liberty Is unworthy ot freedom.'
We do not advise ttghtlng or lawlessness
of any kind, but tho crista has arisen
which demand* that tho sovereign power
shall assert Itoelf to compel unworthy
servant* of It* will to aubml! to It* power
and recognise Its authority.
"Your copunlllee recognise* that tt has
been Intrusted, with certain duties, and
that Its powers am circumscribed, hnd
tt foelo authorised only In going to the
extent of advising and urging these whom
It represents to exeretse the power vested
In them and to hold meeting* on Thurs
day, the 3d day of August, at the re-
apectlvo court houses, If not otherwise
apeetlted, to act upon'this great crlou
and to Insist that manhood, patriotism
and lova of liberty, w hich ho* alwaya in
voked prompt and decisive action from
them, shall Hnd expression In their count*
that will Ip; creditable to their revolu

with pride and satisfaction. At the same
time and place wa would urge the orgunt
gallon of law and order leagues to uphold
the supremacy ot that gteatett ot au law
and power, the* sovereign win ot a tree
people."
It I* a little comical that lu the nililat
of Mich brave tvunls, that can only he
lattciruvtnl to menu "light," tha ntt
thorn of the manifesto take time to ray
that they do not advise violence of noy
kind: lull If they do not. what is it that

NAPOIvEON'S ESCAPES.
Ho Seemed to Llvo In a Charmed Circle
und,Went About With No Feast.
In reply tb a nutation in what in-
gsgemenis he considered himself to
have been In the greatest danger of los
ing hi:, life, Napoleon once said: "In
the commencement ot my campaigns.”
Indeed, If further proof were demanded
to sU'oyv that he did not spare himself
at Toulon, it la only heceaenry to add
that during the ten weeks of It* edge
Nupoleon. in addition to u- bayonet
Wound In hte thigh, had three u'orses
*hot under 1dm, while ut the eelge of
Acre, during the expedition of Egypt,
ha lost no fewer than four in the tame
manner. ,
During the lost ten days of his life,
when mtptlvlty, disappointment and
sickness hi 1 well-nigh completed their
work. It Is said that agony of hte fatal
diecuBe direw from him on many occa
sions the pitiful cry of "Why did the
caisnon balls spare mo?”
During his long military career Na
poleon fought sixty battles, while Cae-
ear fought but titty. In the oarly port
of his career he was utterly wrecklese
ot danger while on tile buUle-fleld, nnd
thle spirit of fearlessness contributed
largely to the love aad esteem In which
he was belli by his armies. There was
a curious belief a-moivg the English In
Napoleon's time that be had never been
weunded. and indeed the report was
current that he carefully, If not in a
cowardly manner, retrained from ex
posing himself. Nothing could be more
contrary to the truth, for he was In
reality several time wounded severely,
but, ns he wished to Impress upon his
tdiopa the belief that good fortune
never deserted him, and that, Uke Ach
illes, He wa* well-nigh Invulnerable, he
always made u secret of his many dan
gers. -He therefore enjoined, once for
all. upon the part of his Immediate staff
the most absolute silence regarding all
circumstances of this nature, for It' is
almost Impbwdble to -calculate the con
fusion and disorder which would have
resulted from the slightest report or
the amalleet doubt relative to h|s exis
tence. Upon the single threat of this
man’s life depended not bnly thn fate
twill government of a great empire, hut
the whole policy and destiny of Europe
as well.

Petrie Derives Them From the Stock
Whence tho l'bper/tctans Come.
From the London'Globe. , i
Egyptologists have no long been oc
cupied w4th the Pyramids sntl Uh'er
monuments of the best periods of
Egyptian art that Professor Flinders
Petrie may be sold to'have broken new
ground In a double sense by hie exca
vations on the Nile. He threw a light
on the eirller etager «< Egyptian civil
ization by hi* researches at Medum
and elsewhere, showing that the bronse
age was preceded by it copper uge, and
these a gain by awtoue age, old and new,
that is to say. a period lasting b n ay
be tor thoi>and* ot years In whlcn
blades of chipped or polished flint and
greenstone, similar to tluv-e of prehis
toric Europe, were in use. '
Ills dtocpverie* at Kotitos during three
month* of lust winter, which are ;io* v
on view at University college, include
u large number of stone Implements,
narneiy, paleolithic celts ol chipped
flint and polished ones of greenstone,
ua veil aa cutting blades PI dint. It is
curious to observe that some ot those
latter have serrated edges, and were
fitted -Into a carved wojden frame to
furni a slckl.t tor reaping corn, and that
this curved frame Is of similar shape
to the Jawbone of a cow with the teeth
In it, which -probably wa* the primitive
nickle.
Professor Petrie remarks that per
haps the "Jawbone of an n*s," witn
wnlcli Sampoon slew the Phlllsitlnes,
was really an implement of some sort
which had derived its name ot "Jaw
bone” from a more primitive imple
ment, the actual bone, tn feet, of which
It wo* an imitation. We have an ex
ample of Uhls kind in our English word
••chisel,” which is the Anglo-Saxon for
a flint (e. g., "chesll"); tne stone tool
having given It* name to the metal
one that succeeded It.
ft has been inferred by Egyptologist*
t-hut the founders of Che historic dy
nasties of Egypt came from the lower
end of the Red 8ea, end oa -the ruin, of,
rather, the mound, of Koptos, or Kuft,
stands on the east sids of the Nile,
about thirty miles above the site of
Thebes, and at the termination of the
ancient road to the red sea by which
Hie immigrants -must have come. Pro
fessor Petrie was delighted to selxo
the occasion offered Mm of excavating
Kloptos, because there, if anywhere, Ive
might expect to find a confirmation of
ihe Inference. ,
The result* ‘tt three months work
last winter have Justllled the hypothe-
als. Among other evidences, ligures of
the ew'ord nsh and ehark un the sculp
tures Indicate the udvent of n maritime
people. Professor Petrie supposes them
ot have been Phoenicians, who had set
tled on the coast of the Red sea, the
Island of Phun. 'or Punt, as they set
tled on the shores of the -Mediterranean
at Carthage, »lvin« rise to the Punic
war. They’were probably less clvillned
than the Egyptians, as were the north
ern barbarians who took advantage or
the confusion caused by the breaking
up of the Komun Empire to establish
themselves in the south Pf Europe.
They were for centuries In Egypt be
fore they bu4lt Memphis, and Profes
sor Petrie conjectures the date of their
Invasion us somewhere about 8,000 B.
a
The Mesophotamhvns are another ra
cial element .In the ancient Egyptian
people, and the port they pluyed ta
awaiting further research. Professor
Petrie thinks that the early Egyptians
were -a cross between the black races
of the south -and tha-t white race of
northern Africa which is thought to
have came from -Europe. There were
other racial elements In the country,
but these have not been well lflentldod.
A DREAM OF THE AGES.
Tlie Restoration of the Jews to Their
, . Ancient Luds.
From tbc Sjn Francisco. Examiner.
The rroont nnd sudden growth of the
Jewish population In Puleatine b
hailed In muny quarters as the begin,
nlug of the renllxatton of tine dream
of centuries, Hie flrat practical Atop to
ward H>.‘ loatorarion of the Jews to
tbelr ancient lands. The movement
hu» undoubtedly assumed surprising
atreug-ih. It Is now esUmiwd chat In
tlie past eeven year* over 100,000 Jew*
in-a.\V entered Palestine from other
countries, and the number Is Increas
ing ot a a rapid rate yearly. The Idea
of a reronquest of Palestine nnd the
re ed.ublirJtment of a Jewish kingdom
In Jerusalem has been held to by the
raoe through Jong centuries of perse
cution. It wa.; promised by their
prophets, end, like otw.-r prophecies, It
-tends to ft* own fulfilment. The social
and political treatment to which the
race ha* been subjected has doubtless
fixed u only more firmly In thbhr belief,
and spttrrod the hope into action at the
Aral opportunity..
Sentiment lx a powerful factor in life
—yet It is not probx-ble chat tlie move
ment now In program Is going to result
In the settlement of the bulk of the
Jewteh race on the soil of their fore-
Mthers. The hundred 'thousand JY*ws
may multiply -to a mlllon by lmmlgrn
Hon. and Jewlxh yrwtlth and enterprise
may break (town the barriers raised by
a Jealous and despotic government,
ovvreome the difficulties set by nature,
and make Palestine nnd Syria astrong
Jewish community. But there are
something over 7,000.000 Jews In the
world. There are nearly half n million
in the United States. In most of the
civilised tends they hold wealth an/1
power, and In many they are nsxlml-
lated In thought nnd custom 4o the peo
Pic among whom they live. It Is not
to be supposed that the rarie Instinct
will be strong enough to call the Jews
from Che comfont they enjoy In Amer
lea and England, for Instance, to take
their place In the regeneration of Pal
estine. The Jew who Is despised nnd
mobbed and robbed tn Russia nnd Aus-
trit. ntvl other lands wihere prejudloe
rule*, may long to get back to the
home of his ftuhers, and will go there
when the mean* are provided. But it
lx not to be expeett-d that the men who
Join the colonizations chemo from
America and western Europe will form
more than n small body of enthusiasts.

An umpire, or arbitrator, was then ap
