A GROWING MENACE. We have been introducing to the country the same relations that ex ist in Europe between capital and labor, and here as there we see with indifference the gulf widen between the-Tery rich and the Ten poor. While a greedy few roll in untold wealth ana millionaires multiply, the mass of laborers sink day by day to that low level of class servitude that makes life a misery in a mere strug gle for a wretched existence. Some night your full-stomached millionaire will be awakened by gaunt-eyed labor and bidden to come out and render up not only his ill' gotten possessions but life itself. And then the helpless creature will realize that he aided to import only a pirtof the European system. The art of accumulating unearned capital. and the subtile powers of bringing about a class of the few who produce nothing while enjoying all, and an other class of the many who produce all and epjoy nothing, is a duplicate of the pnnce-and-pauper existence of Europe. But it is without the vast standing armies, tho millions of cruel bayonets, the closed ranks and disci plined and drilled hirelings under arms, that hold the autocracy up and the toiling millions down. Cincinnati has awakened to this fact and had a panic. Cinoinnati wanted the twenty-three assassins hanged. For weeks tho press and pulpit had bestirred themselves on this subjeot, with a leaning to mob violence. But when the mob got up, after such instigations, and went to plundering gun-stores, the thought flashed like an electric light through the conservative mind: "Suppose these rioters go to cricking other places our homes? Great God what can we do? We have not oven a po lice!'' And so they made the wires tremble with hysterical telegrams for troops; not to hang murderers cher ished thought of the day before but to shoot down the very men they had stirred into active violence. The con dition of Cinoinnati in this respect is the same as that of any other great commercial center in the United States. The other day, a gang of long haired and wild-eyed communists of New York determined to hold v mass meeting of probably two hundred in one of the parks. Immediately a panic occurred- the police were sum moned, the military notified to be in readiness. New York was threaten ed. And now the leading journals assert that but for this preparation the two hundred communists would have taken and plundered New York. These full-stomached millionaires need not worry themselves about the communists. The danger threatening them is far more formidable. It Is not from beer-drinking dreamers but from .the great mass of labor, wnen the poverty at the door enters the hovel and drives the starving inmates out 'as famished wolves are driven into towns at the end of a hard winter. So far the laborers of the town have been held to their hard tasks by the conservative power of the agricultur ists that heavy, dull, almost dead weieht of solitary-wrought mass of ignorance and egotism. But th fatted monopolists have been cutting their foundation from under tneir feet. For twenty-five years, holding control of the general government, they have been legislating against foreign trade so as to buildup monopolies at home. This with agriculture the underlying foundation of not only our commer cial prosperity but our very existence! Ten cents above the cost of raising a bushel of wheat means well-being; ten oents below means distress and this is guaged at Liverpool when our wheat is sold. Of course this sort of legislation has been unpleasant to Europe, as it hltTbeen unprofitable to us, and for u', and 'for years search has been made for the produce on the sale of which we have prospered. England has been to this end developing her wheat fields in India, Australia and Egypt. The first returns of wheat oome, in quantity and quality to feed all Europe, immediately on the heels of a prohibition of pork from America to France, Italy and Germany. They are seeking to protect their pork as we protect our pig iron, and wheat drops to eighty-six cents a bushel, and all other produce in proportion. If this sort of thing is persisted in theagriculturist, who is slow of study, will discover that he is threatened with, starvation, and must come down to the goat skin coat and $18 a year peculiar to.the Baltic Then, when the grass is growing on curtreets, the railroad ties rotting wider our -unused railroads, and tho farmers are forced to raise only what they eat, and wear only what they manufacture at home, dropping in a'i respects to the level of the like class in -Europe, the monopolist (the cause of all this .decay) may as well comeout and "be hanged like a gen tleman. Do not understand me as advoca ting vio loe. I only undertakte to give you the facts as I see them. As a scientist takes a live pest from the EeSdbf a beggar and, crowding down his disgust, pins the vermin under the microscope and puts the thing to record-for the sake of science, so I take" a" millionaire a railroad king, forxexample, and dissect for a like purpose; for one is as siokening as the -other. Bonn Piatt m The Highroad to Fortune. Col. James A.Boggs, deputy United States collector in New York city, who has held the office for many Tears, says: "If you know any young man who wants an omce, tell nun rather to buy a shovel and go to work on a dirt heat. I always tell such men the. story of Salmon P. Chase air his uncle, the senator rrom Ver mont. Salmon had applied to his uncle-for&'treasury position, and this war.the reply: 'Salmon, I will give y'ott-fifty-ceats to buy a spade, but I will not. ,ase any influence to make you a clerk in Jhe treasury.'

The bustling, hurrying man, as a matter of fact, is a poor worker. Too much of his steam power is expended in kicking up dust. Tho habit of hurrying and of feeling in a hurry is fatal to good work and diminishes the amount of work a good man can do. The friction is too great. So little of practical value is. accom plished that he cannot go home at night with a sweet consciousness of a duty done, of a day's work com pleted. The men who accomplish most never seem in a hurry, no mat ter how much they have to do. They are not troubled for lack of time, for they make tho most of the minutes by working-in a cool, methodical man ner, finishing each job properly and not expending their nervous force in bustle. They never complain of over work, but are more likely to hunt up new work in order to give their facul ties more varied employment and to exercise some which are not suffi ciently used.

At Big Springs, Texas, the earl of Aylesford has been slopping so long tuat it seems like home to him, and the inhabitants have ceased to foel any awe of him. He has just bought a well-stocked ranch, paying for it 875,000, his avowed intention being to provide for his younger brother. The entailed estate is 818,000,000 of which by virtue of his birth ho is the heir, yields him an income from which ho is enabled to mako these : Texas investments. His latest trans action at the Springs was the pur chase of a hotel. Down in tho Lundy country the other day a big avalanche started down a steep mountain after Jim Mo Phee. Jim made a dash for a tuunol and as he went in tho slide was so close upon him that it raked each i joint in his backbone, and took .off the j can oi nis coat. opeaKing oi rue j tearing awav of tlm t.nil of h ?"-1 Jim said ho thought it was "mighty j small business for an avalanche to be i in."

James Monroe, James K. Polk, James Buchanan and James A. Grarheld j and so James A. Blaine could surely j be elected. Lieut Bay says that tho Aleutian Islands, lying as far west of San Fran cisco as Maine lies east of it, and swept by the air from the warm Asi atic current of the ocean, have a climate like southern Ireland, and are going to be very valuable for grazing. Virginia now has the same number of congressman that she had in 1790. when there were only sixty-five mem bers of the house. The salmon canneries in British Columbia are all preparing for a light catch. Several of them will not op erate at alL "If all tho trees in all the woods wero men, And each and every blade of grass a pen; If very leaf on every shrub and tree Turned to a sheet of foolscap, every soa "Were changed to ink, and all earth's liv ing tribes Had nothing else to do but act as scribes, And for ton thousand ages,- day and night, The human race should write, and write, and write, Till all the pens and paper were used up, And each great inkstand was an empty cup, Still would the soribblors clustered round its brink Call for more penH, more paper, and more ink." .- t m - The Best Policy.
