Tho money sharks of New York inform us in a late circular thnt "special Providence did come to this planet" to elect McKlnley ; Mark Hanna asserts that tho major "got there" by keeping one hand on him and tho other on God,and I'rof.McUmghlin of Chicago, creature of Coal Oil Rockefeller, says th it the free-silver agitation is the work of Satan. If the Prof, is right, the co.tl oil monopoly must be guarded by the angels of heaven. It is pogHible that Marcus Hanua and his virtuous band of co-workers have stolen the livery of heaven in order that they may serve the devil more effectively. most influential in accomplishing his election? Hardly probable. The Chicago Dispatch had a Thanks giving editorial with a protest. It asks if the Christian churches as they exist in the world today reflect the character and will of lhe founder. It reminds the church nnd the state that there are three million enforced idlers in America now, and the prospect that the next three months will add at least half that many more to tbe army of the unemployed. It insists that more than half a million American homes are in different degrees of want and disiress owing to these circumstances, and then concludes that somelwdy or something is to blame for these hard times, and says it is not the Almighty, for he has promised that the seed time and harvest shall not fail, and they fail not. The earth yields of her fruits and mines nnd brcadstuffs, and all othur necessaries for llie comfort of man in abundance, and yet man is to a great extent in poverty and want; the rich are becoming richer, the poor, poorer. From a plain, common, happy, prosperous people of half a century back, we have liecome a nation of millionaires and tramps, for there has grown up in the land "an almost irresistible power, with teeth as knives and jaw teeth as swords to devour the poor from off the earth and the needy from among men.'
