COM PENS A TIONS.
The world is full of compensations,
averages, offsets, counterbalances, or
whatever they might be called. All
human affairs arc subject to them.
The rich envy the poor, the poor the
rich. Each would be satisfied with
the other's lot, yet neither would
trade. The barefooted boy looks at
the bald-headed millionaire, and
thinks what a glorious time he would
have spending the money, if he had
it, and dreams of things utterly un
selfish that he would do with it, and
undoubtedly derive much pleasure
from doing, and the millionaire
gazes at the barefooted boy and his
thoughts go fleeting back to his own
childhood when he was happy.
The poor man, who has to work like
a slave to support himself lives to be
a hundred years old before he can
quit his job, while the rich man, with
money to buy everything purchasa
ble, gets old and dies at 65,
The rich are always satisfied with
the lot of the poor, the poor envious
of the rich. The married folks oc
casionally think of divorce and envy
the freedom of their unmarried
friends, while the unmarried envy
the home life of the benedicts. The
girl that dislikes ice cream gets hired
everv summer to sell the stuff, while
the girl who "dotes" on it has to
spend the summer camping where
the picture of a cow is a rarity. The
woman with the smallest foot pays
most for her shoes, and a bald-headed
man gets no reduction for a hair
cut.
And so it goes. What we have
someone envies us, and what others
have we desire. And so in the
grand wind up of life it may be said
that we all get what we do not want,
and we all want what we do not get.
This makes us all satisfied with each
other's lot, and dissatisfied with our
own; but it is the way of the vrorld,
and the result of the law of compen
sations which puts the nastiest worm
in the nicest looking apple, and the
biggest corn on the smallest toe.
The fellow who gets more than his
share of the champagne, gets a like
quantity of the next day's headache,
and the highest pinnacle to which
drunkenness lifts him would, if
turned upside down, but serve to
sound the abysmal depths of next
day's woe.
PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
In 1894 Glasgow acquired owner
ship of its street car lines. As a re
sult the hours of labor were redueed
and wages were advanced. Fares
were lowered about thirty-three per
cent; the average fare is below two
cents, and thirty-nine per cent of the
fares are one cent. The service was
improved. The Progressive Review
of London, in its November number,
1896, said: "The tramways of Glas
gow have been made the finest un
dertaking of the kind in the country,
judged both by their capacity to
serve the public, and as a purely
commercial enterprise." The traffic
was doubled in about two 3 ears.
Yet these improvements were
made without burden to the taxpay
ers. As a malter of fact, the tax
payer had his direct benefit along
for 4g&tacK&
xfcever
with thst enjoyed by the riding pub
lic. For the year ending June 1,
1896, in spite of 2 cent fares, there
was a clear profit of $213,000 above
operating expenses and fixed charges,
interest, taxes and depreciation.
In brief, fares are lower, wages
higher, hours shorter, service better,
traffic larger, and taxes lower.
What Glasgow ' has done, other
cities can repeat, unless their people
wish to confess their incapacity to
grasp and work out the problems of
higher government.
A man arriving at Juneau from
Dawson City says the last steamer
from that place carried away a pile
ot gold dust that measured at least
a quarter of a cord, while another
man writing from Dawson City says
the same steamer carried three and
a half tons of gold. There is con
siderable difference between the
statements. A ton of gold is worth
in round numbers $500,000 at $16
an ounce, which is about the average
value. Three tons and a half of gold
would therefore mean, at a liberal
estimate, $2,000,000. A quarter of
a cord contains thirty-two cubic feet,
and a cubic foot of gold weighs
about 1000 pounds. By this second
estimate there would be sixteen tons
of gold, or $8,000,000. The farmers
export from the United States year
ly $650,000,000, and yet no one
hears the American farm called a
Klondike. It is the craze for sud
den wealth, the getting of something
for nothing that causes the rush to
the gold mines, and yet the fellow
who sticks to his job and only gets
something for something, will in the
end have the most money. The
amount of agricultural produce sent
from this country each year to feed
and clothe the foreigner would make
a pile of solid gold equaling eleven
and a half cords, 1280 tons.
ELY'S CREAM PALM Is a positive cure.
Apply into the nostrils. It is quickly absorbed. 60
cents at Drnspists or by mail ; samples 10c by mall.

There is nothing eo thoroughly appre
ciated by the ladies during tbe hot wea

cream. The Elite caudy factory serves
just that kind. Also soda, ice cream
