The greatest war the world lion ever *ecn in that between lal>or and capital not a strife like the Thirty Years’ War, of which history tells us, for this is a war of centuries. It is a war of live continents, a war hemispheric. In this country the middle classes who have held the balance of power, and upon whom the Nation has depended as mediator between the two extremes, are diminishing, and at the same ratio we will soon have no middle class, for all the people will be very rich or very poor, and the country be divided between princes and paupers, between palaces and hovels. The two great antagonistic forces are closing upon each other. “Telegraph operators’ strikes," “railroad employes’ strikes,'

London cablegram, May l(i: Parliamentary circles are greatly enciled over the attacks on the private i hat ■'“ r of Mr. Gladstone, Sir Charlc' D' Colonial Secretary, and the Marquis of

Hartington, Secretary of War, made in the letters sent to the Paris N’ouvelle Revue by Count Paul Yasali. Advance sheets of these letters have been supplied to a number of the English papers. The Count’s letters give a number of scandals against the three gentlemen named. Some of these scandals are old, but many of them are new. It will perhaps he news to most American readers that Mr. Gladstone is vulnerable to gossip concerning women. But Count Paul Yasali refers circumstantially to the Premier as having been engaged in a not very creditable intrigue with a very lovely women described as “Luura B.,” who is known to many, and who is described in the Count's letter tis a woman who bus contracted some very respectable debts in Paris society—"the only thing

The President and the members of the Cabinet are learning to scrutinize very closely the recommendations given by Congressmen to applicants for otliee. In three instances within as many weeks it has been discovered by the President or some member of his Cabinet that Congressmen had recommended defaulterfor appointment to office. In one case Secretary Manning had actually appointed a man belore he ascertained that he had been a defaulter. He telegraphed at once, upon learning of the fact, which was of record, and must have been known by the Congressman, for the appointee’s resignation. Then he put the name of the Congressman upon the “black list” recently created for such cases. Hereafter, when the President, or any of his Cabinet discover that an attempt litis been made to impose upon him by a Congressman or anybody else by misrepresentations in regard to ap-

'I.HUGO'S FUNERAL.

When Jean Valjean, the greatest hero of Victor Hugo, after a life ol misfortune, goes down into incarceration and death, they shut the book in exultation and say: “Good f >r him.” They stamp the loot in regard to those people and say just the opposite of “save the laboring classes.” Their sympathies are with Shyiock rather than with Antonio mil Portia.' Plutocrats, their ieelings are simply infernal. They are irritation and irascibility, and toward the settlement of this imbroglio between labor and capital tliey will not give the tip end of the little

finger.

The n-sassination ol Lord Frederick Cavendish and Mr. Burke in Phu nix Park, Dublin, Ireland, In hoping to avenge Ireland, turned from that afflicted laud the sympathies of millions of people. The recent attempt to blow up the house of Commons in l.ondon threw tens of thousands of Irish out of employment and livelihood. Torches in tins country applied to factories which cut down wages, shotguns aimed at workmen who take tlie place of hands resigned or hands discharged for good or had reason, otist ructions put on railroad tracks before midnight express trains because the offenders do not like the president of the company, strikers who leave the ship tlie hour it was going to sail, or the printing office the hour the paper was to go to press, or the coal mines the day the coal was to be delivered, or the house-scaffolding the day when their absence would make Hie builder fail in his contract all these things have given American lalior a lieavj blow on the head, and crippled its arms, and lamed its feet, and pierced it through the heart.

Paris Never Saw Such a Scene.-rfumlreds ol Thousands of People on (lie Streets. Although rain fell during Sunday night, and there was every indication in tlie morning of more rain Monday, hundreds of thousands of people were abroad at daybreak, crowding the streets ami boulevards through which the great procession moved that accompanied the remains of Victor Hugo to their last resting place in tlie Pantheon. Owing to the crowded condition ol the hotels, thousands were compelled to bivouac in the open air all night. From all directions came deputations with draped banners and bearing llowers and gigantic wreaths. Never did Paris present such a scene. Large bodies of cavalry occupied the streets leading to the Champ Klysee. Minute guns were fired from the Hotel des Invalides, and from Fort Valerien. The crowds were very

orderly.

The funeral procession started punctually at noon. The threatening clouds of the morning had disappeared and the sun shone forth brilliantly. Many chariots, heaped up with the offerings of the people of France, followed tlie hearse in the procession. Enormous crowds of people lined the streets that formed Hie route ot the procession,^bile other masses oi people possessed the intersecting streets for a great distance on either side. The buildings were black with people, as indeed was every point from which could be had a view of the unparalleled spectacle. Tlie funeral oration which M. Floqueut delivered at tlie Arc I)e Triumphe touched the hearts of Ids hearers and was greatly applauded. The procession moved without a hitch in tlie prescribed program. The police arrested several bearers of red tlags, which were unfurled at the starting pointer headquarters of the several revolutionary

societies.

it is estimated that tlie procession numbered 1,000,UOO persons. Not a single priest was seen in the line.

He adds, however, that he can not affirm that a woman of such intelligence as that possessed by Mine. Novidoff is not flattered by the sentiments with which she inspires Mr. Gladstone, but he denies that she has ever responded even with a shadow of flirtation. Count Paul Yasali refers to Ixml llartlngton's alleged long connection with a celebrated Duchess. The Count says the Marquis does not attempt to please any other woman. “'She governs him entirely.” the Count says, “and is discreet enough to respect the proprieties of society, whicli thankful for this concession, closes its eyes.” Equally unscrupulous is Vasali’s ref-

Scandal Mongers. South Bend Tribune.

A terrible calamity fulls upon a family—the ruin of a daughter; the crushing of a girl’s whole life; the bringing I of another being into the world to carry through life a stigma upon its birth; the affliction and mortification of the whole family; a calamity which might soften the most cruel heart to pity, and might be expected to touch the sympathies of all the good neighbors. All possible means are taken to hide tlie disgrace from the world. What could he gained hy spreading the shame? Months pass, and a newspaper gets a vague hold of it, serves it up as fresh, and spreads it before the public with fanciful embellishments calculated to feed puriency, and making a pitiful affection of decency hy withholding names, while designating the neighborhood and otherwise pointing curiosity.
