THE MODERN PRESSURE.
The story of th Valencia b toU.
Ia a few month only the hs of
vessel of that name will I recalled.
The detail of the disaster will slip
from out the public mind, one by on,
until then? will be but few who can
recite them with ny accuracy. So it
U with everything la the1 working
world today, the pressure of the mo
ment is too great to suffer the memory
to remain charged with a tingle Item
that can 1 forgotten. The pa of
American life U aouiething f.arful to
contemplate; the ml trouble U there
are too few who have time for con
templation. Man think a he runs
thew day. Thia he must do or W
tome advantage. It ia killing the home
and social life and uut react on the
normal capacitiea of the nation in time.
It ia at the bottom of the whole-ale
seliemes of rapacity and graft that sr.
making thia era historical in an infam
oui way. It ia creeping into channel
of business, private and public, that
never were allied with mud ri-k and
method before, and it U lowering th
tone of national probity. The people
are becoming hardened to the system,
and personal honor and public sense of
duty i rapidly vitiating. Nothing but
a cataclysm of comra -rcial ruin, a stu
pendous and overwhelming revulnion of
the present successes, something with
out parallel for formidable and subver
sive evil, so utterly complet? that no
home in the country shall escape it
blight, will ever bring the moment fur
reflection and amendment.
