J THE INDIANA SlAi t, SEFT1NEU WEDNESDAY MAY 23, 1883. ft

WEDNESDAY, MAY 23. Th Pennsylvania Legislature has pronounced against whistling in graveyards (Ten to keep up one's courage. Miss Gibouard, a yoang lady of Montreal -who has become tired of convent life, has received a dispensation from the Pope and cone back to the world. An unusual event. Of the $7,500,000 worth of hosiery that annually comes into the United Btatea, 4, S0O.0CO comes from Germany. Yet while we receive her hose, Germany refuses our hogs. Neither France, Germany nor Belgium raises enough meat to supply its own popu lation. The meat consumption per head of population is much higher in Great Britain than elsewhere in Europe. Bcsinis3 failures in the United States the past week numbered 149, an excess over the previous week of seventeen, and thirty-one more than in the corresponding period of 1882. The Illinois and Wisconsin cyclones an nounced in Saturday's Sentinel seem to have ittd fearful havoc Twentv-flve or more are reported killed in Racine, Wi?. and many also in different portions of Illi nois. Cyclones, it seems, are must to be feared when they come in f annel shapes. There are eome other things that ran in funnels which carry a considerable amount of de struction to the square inch. It is said that 100 brides nave graduaUd rom the Treasury Department at Washingon within the last four months. Good enough, and still better it they left vacant places for that many more poor girls. The power of love is emphatically shown in the case of a Bostonian, a zealous Protest ant, who, within four months of the death of his wife, has married his Catholic servant girl, joined the Catholic Church and taken his children to a Catholic Sunday-school. Jiff Davis is regarded a Oeing seriously ill notwithstanding some recent rumors to the contrary. Dr. Harry, his family pbysl cian, declines to be interviewed on the mat ter, and correspondents are not allowed the usual generous hospitalities of Beauvoir. Dr. Potter, of New York, laments the decay of enthusiasm. If the Doctor wil drop into Indianapolis and watch our emal boys next Saturday morning, the 2Gth, the occasion of Barnum's circn, he will change his opinion as to the decay of enthusiasm. New Euolasd and Plymouth Rock must look to their laurels. Virginia claims the ldest English Church in this country. It s the old Friends' Church at Burton, and was built in 1G52. An ancestor of Martha "Washington is said to be buried in the churchyard. The people of Illinois pay $12.000,000 annually for schools and $20,000,000 for whisky. On the average, in cities and towns, there are fifty saloons to the thousand children of scholastic age; so that these grand forces for influencing character may be said to be at work on a gigantic scale, the one teaching the youth how to behave and the other how to smoke and drink. The birthplace of New England, says a writer in the last number of the Quarterly Review, is to be found in Old England at a little village named Scrooley, situated at the north of Nottinghamshire, and on the extreme edge of Yorkshire. The germs of the "New England Republic," as this writer called it, are to be discovered in the Manor House, once a sporting place of the Archbishop of York, but then employed as a "pouting house." For hard rub3 of the quiet humor style, piano men are well np to the front An exchange mentions the following in point: A week or so ago a Steinway agent advertised a second-hand Chickering, which he escribed as 'a fine piece of cabinet work, and just tbe thing for an ironing-board.' Shortly afterward the Chickering agent got hold of a second-hand Steinway and advertised it as 'admirably adapted for use as an icechest, and warranted to scare rata away whenever played upon.' " There were 75,475 immigrants landed in the United States during the month of April, 1883, against 104,274 for the month of April, 1S82. For ten months, ended April 30, 1833, the arrivals reached 417,689, against 544,001 for ten months ended April SO, 1$S2. The arrivals for April were from the following named countries: England and Wales ..... I rel and .. Kooüan J Austria .... 10.741 11.7V 3,512 797 25,170 6 220 2.1S9 3.303 7.C91 7.050 Germany . Italy.

"We see it stated that the Governor of Pennsylvania has signed a bill for the protection of the insane of that State, and that tbe bill "has been watched with keen interest by physicians and philanthropists throughout the country." The bill in question was prepared by a 8pecial Commit tee who could bring to the subject "excep tional knowledge, integrity and justice If we were required to prove beyond cavil 'that ours is a Christian civilization, that its sun is full-orbed and rising grandly to the enith, wa should point to the majestic strides of public sentistent indicative of sympathy for the poor and the unfor tnnate the insane, the blind, the deaf and dumb. Of these victims of misery the insane are the most terribly afllicted, And in minds not dead to emotions of compassion they are objects of eeaseles3 comxavseration. With reason dethroned life is worse, more terrible, than'death; and hence, to re-enthrone the mind to give back to the Evicted life and friends, home and its joys and comforts, demands the exetciee of the best acuities the Creator has vouchsafed to man. Doctors are so numerous nowadays that men are apt to estimate them by a general average. But the man who, by patient Invest igatna, has mastsrad the mysteries of the

human organism, as also the mysteries of

the healing art, that branch of science which "relates to the prevention, cure or alleviation of the diseases of- the human body," rises grandly above averages. He broadens out to colossal proportions. If his heart is in sympathy with his brains there will be found in his character a harmonious blending of physician, philosopher and philanthropist. He will be familiar with human knowledge bearing upon the relationship between mind and matter. If he finds reason dethroned, the intellect a wreck be cause of a disease of the brain, he will track that disease through all the labyrinthian pathways it s traveled, and ap ply the remedy, if remedy there bs; and if he can not reinitate the mind, he will find means to modify the wretchedness which insanity inflicts. Hence, when we talk about the protection of the insane the question of medical skill at once comes into commanding prominence. To build mag nificent Asylums whose architectural beauty elicits admiration is not enough; indeed, such exhibitions of the philanthropic spirit of the people lose their charm if the miser able unfortunates who inhabit them are given into the hands of medical quacks The State, when it employs physicians to cure mad men, ought to demand the best skill, the largest experiencs and the profoundest learning. Anything less than that Is something worse than a mistake or a folly. To ask men to treat cases of In sanity who have had little or no experience in such matters is a wrong so flagrant as to exhaust patience and defy placid criticism. Such a course is productive at once of the most demoralizing confusion of ideas. The most difficult and deplorable of all morta maladies is placed in the hands of men incapable of responding to the wants of the unfortunates or the expectations of the pub lie. As a consequence, the Insane are not protected; on the contrary, all too often misfortune is aggravated rather than relieved. To assume that a physician c n earn a pi ice of such vast responsibility by parti sanism is a high libel upon benevolence and a stigma upon the profession of medi cine. It allies charity with chicanery. It introduces the asperities, defeats and sue cesses of political partisans into Asylums where silence reigns among mutes, dark ness among the blind and pandemonium among the insane. It is not necessary to inquire as to what political party shall shape the policy of benevolent institutions. It is enough to know that the party in power will assume such control. We are discussing simply the medical jnofection of the insane, and no physician should ask or obtain the custodianship of the lives and health of such unfortunates simply upon the ground that he has been a good partisan worker. There are many ways to reward partisan workers which are accredited as eminently legitimate; and for aught we know or care, the appointment of physicians to Insane Asylums may be among the number. The point we make is that puch appointments should not be made Bolely, or to any extent whatever, because of such psrtisin work, bat rather because, independent of each work and without regard to it, the physician is known to be, by skilt, ability, experience and learning, eminently and pre-eminently qualified for the position. When such men become physicians in Insane Asylums the public has a right to believe that the Asylum will realize the largest expectations, and the taxpayers will cheerfully furnish the funds required for their maintenance. THE MAULERS. Quite recently a grand exhibition of scientific mauling was given at Madison Square Garden, New York City, by Mr. John L. Sullivan, of Boston, and Mr. Charles Mitchell, of Kagland. Both of the gentlemen named are regarded as celebrities. They are known wherever the English language Is spoken. They have won fame with tbeir fists. The record of their rounds is circling round the world. To see them punch the heads of each other attracted an audience numbering &t the lowest estimate 10,000. The gate money, it is said, amounted to $15,000. We doubt if there are two men in the world known to fam9 who could attract 10,000 people to Madison Square Garden, provided an admittance fee was charged. We regard it as out of the question to name any two men of the learned profession; poets, scientists, philosophers, warriors, painters, sculptors, explorers, educators, philantrophts, statesmen, kings, potentates or prelates, who could have called together as many men as greeted Sullivan and Mitchell at Madison Square Garden in the City of New York on the night of the 14th inst. The building was packed to its utmost capacity tbe audience was jammed, compressed as men pack sardines in a box. It must not be supposed that only the "fancy" from the slums and dens were there thieves, murderers, crime-stained and crime-cursed monstrosities. Oh, no! Roscoe Conkling, the statesman, the friend of Grant, the great political leader, was there; Charles A. Dana, the journalist, whose sun shines for all, the man who shapes policies, deals with destinies and heralds coming events, was there; and still others, lesser lights, perhaps, but luminaries in high social and political circles, were present to see the bruisers bang each other. Messrs. Conkling and Dana announced, by their presence, their approval of such brutal banquets of barbarism, and their presence will be regarded as an indorsement of practices which disgust all decent people. Sullivan and Mitchell are simply prize-fighters, trained to the work as are certain breeds of dogs, but something lower in the scale than the genus canis; they maul for money not for "self-defense," but for so much cash, and to witness their proficiency in giving lung-bursting, blood-spitting, face-disfiguring, tib-breaking and nose-flattening blows, Roscoe Conkling and Charls A. Dana pay their money and take their places among the most depraved men whose breath pollutes the air of heaven. Americana denounce boll fights, dog rights and cock fights, but when it comes to exhibitions by prize ring fighters of the art the public practice of which brutalizes society, the police protects, and men who are ambi tious to exert a large public Influence are present to applaud. The New York author ities have sought to secure notoriety as be ing goody-goody people. The Passion Play was suppressed because it was asserted that to represent the crucifixion of Christ wonld havj a demoralizing effect, Comitockl wo aid have men believe that he'

has accomplished woaders by ms turi-

fylng pursuit of the vulgar vagabonds who publish and vend obscene books and keep gambling dens. Old man Bergh is ceaselessly watching for those wno are guilty of cruelty to cats and dogs, turtles and frogs, horses, mules, or other dumb animals, and occasionally makes a noise about overtasked children; but when the most brutal and demoralizing exhibitions are announced, such as those which Sullivan and Mitchell and other brutified humans engaged in at Madison Square Garden, the authorities protect the exhibition, and distinguished citizens are present to applaud. The press furnishes the most elaborate reports of pro ceedings. A rib-rattling or a n&se-jmashing blow elicits more applause than the grandest periods in the orations of statesmen. Mr. Sullivan was before his audience just twelve minutes on the evening of May 14. He fought four rounds got knocked down once, but finally knocked Mr. Mitchell out, and walked away with $3,400. Such is view of one side of our much-vaunted Christian civilization. GAMBLING. Everywhere the demoralizing practice of gambling is prudently denounced by press and pulpit, and by public opinion. Legis lation is invoked and laws are enacted mak ingita misdemeanor. Sheriffs, Constable and policemen raid gambling dens and ar rest offenders. They are tried and punished. Everybody, that is to say, the well wishers of society, approve the programme and shout "go ahead." Under such circum stances, it would be reasonable to suppose that society would oppose all sorts of gam bling,but,unfortunately,3Uch is not the case To bet on dice.or any of the games in which cards are used, or any game at all. is what is denominated gambling. So it is believed to be equally demoralizing and vicious to bet on numbers drawn in a lottery, but, Btrange to say, it is not particularly objec tionable to bet on elections, boat races and horse races, base ball, or the price of wheat or other produce sold on 'Change. In a re cent issue the Philadelphia Press remarked that "grain speculation may well be 'ner vous as our Chicago dispatch puts it It is nothing to-day but the rankest gambling, Whether August wheat will be 'dollar wheat' or twenty or thirty c:nts higher no one can tell without a knowledge of next month's weather, and not the keenest speculator knows that" Those who have the leisure to give the subject proper investigation will be likely to conclude that betting on the price of "August wheat" is far more vicious in its influence upon society than betting on a game of draw poker, keno, faro, or such other games as are played in "gambling dens," or on the "wheel of fortune" as it is turned by lottery gamblers. The St. Louis Republican takes the same view of the subject as is expressed by the Philadelphia Press, and in commenting upon the opinion voiced by that paper, eays: It is an entirely just characterization of this socslled peculation to call it "nctbing to-day but the rankest gambling." It has not one feature or element of bnsineis in It. It gives productive employment to not one human being. It benefits not one soul except in Jost so far as It Id jar es others. It disturbs Industry by forcing the element of uncertainty lato the transactions which encourage production. It diminishes legitimate and healthy consumption by fictitious prices, to be followed by depression induced by interference with just demand and supply. It is rank gambling of the most injurious kind. It ought to be noted as an evidencs of unreliability and uutrastworthlness on the part of every individual and firm which Indulges In it, and especially so among young men. The proposition is self evi dent that that is reprehensible in real or assumed business which can enrich one man only by the losses of another. The most ordinary un derstanding ought to be able to seize and appreciate so elementary a truth as this. This gambling on 'Change has every con sumer in the land for its victim. Fictitious prices on 'Change become real prices to co: - earners, if "August wheat can De lorcea up it will advance the price of every bushel of wheat in the country until August wheat is ready for the market. As a result gam bling on 'Change in the food products of the country makes dear food in every workingman's home. Gambling dens have at most an influence of limited area, and as com pared with gambling on 'Change in wheat, comparatively few victims, and as such transactions are known to be the "rankest gambling," why are they not fearlessly denounced? Manifestly a very important screw is loose in the machinery employed in the manufacture of public sentiment, and, as a result, it may be inferred, as long as one sort of gambling is tolerated and approved, other methods of wiuning money will be practiced. What is wanted is such a public sentiment that every gambling device shall be ostracised, tabooed and made odious. SATURDAY NIG KT. "Cold is that Up where played the (mile of love; Pale Is that cheek which vied the rose of May; Quenched is that eye, once meekly raised above: Hushed is that voice that soul has tlown away." Few people can contemplate death with calmness. In the shock of battle, "whero blood and carnage clothes the ground in crimson," men defy Jeath. Iu desperate hand to hand struggles, In the very effort to save life, death is forgotten. Persons who take their own lives often exhibit wonderful composure, and now and then a cul prit faces the grim monster unmoved. Others still, martyrs, go to their deith with a tranquility becoming saints. And there are others whose religious faith robs death of its sting and tbe grave of its terrors they seemingly lie down to "pleasant dreams," and surviving friends say: So fades i inmmer cloud away; So sinks the Rale when storms are o'er; So gently shuts the ere of day; So dies the wave along the shore. Notwithstanding these things, the great majority of men shudder when death telephones them they are wanted for their silent chambers. It would seem that familiarity with death would breed contempt for it. Not so. The population of the world is estimated at 1,500,000,000 souls, aod the life of a generation is placed at thirtythree years. Accepting the estimates as correct, three persons die every two seconds of the year. But if a hundred were to die every second, the living. Instead of being tranquilizer, would be all tbe more alarmed. Why is it thus? Who can solve the riddle? No one. Possibly tbe cause may be traced to superstitious awe or dread o the unknown, some fear annihilation; others torment, and as none have ever returned to tell their discoveries, doubts are universal. There are those, however, who believe the future can not be worse with them than the present, and tired of life, they welcome death as a sweet relief from toil, disappointment and failure, sickness and pain . But dUmifsing the discussion of facts relating to the universal terror which death provokes, is it not more profitable to find reasons for believing that, after all, death is man's best

friend? Death is reit; death is sleep. What does

man need more than sleep and rentr Why be afraid to sleep? Why be nwilllng to escape from toll? Especially why should hewers of wood and drawers ct water be disinclined to sleep and restT What la there In connection with an everlasting struggle for life to make it desirable? Death Is a grand leveler. It cares no more for a Prince than for a peasant, and it matt be admitted. If death sways Its icepter with such even-banded Justice in this world, its victims need not be seriously alarmed about their future. Saturday night, or that portion devoted to reflection, may be quite as profitably set apart lor tbe contemplation of life as for gloomy or hopeful speculations about death, and it is by no means an uninteresting fact that poetical and proverbial philosophers have drawn from practices, which in the estimation of the excessively austere, are considerably below the line of right eousness, lessons relating to life well calculated to rivet attention, as for instance the game of euchre. John G. Saxe once wrote: While watching the game, 'tl& a whim of the bards. A moral to draw from the skirmish of cards; And to fancy he finds in the trivial strife, Some excellent hints in the battle of life. When, whether the prize be a ribbon or throne. The winner is he who can "go it alone." There is something, no doubt. In the hand you may hold. Health, family, culture, wit, beaaty and gold. Tbe fortunate owner may fairly regard. As each in its way a nrost excellent card. Yet the came may be lost with all these for your own. Unless you've the courage to "go it alone." Buch fancies are suggestive of facts of no mean Importance in the battle of life. To "go it alone" there must be courage, self-reliance, will power, and if success is desired rhlca will confer a good name among its other blessings, there must be unbending Integrity and lofty, fidelity to the J right, a sense of honor and a disposition to make the world better by the victories won. The miser, the hermit, the misanthrope "go it alone." The morose, sullen churls of society, "go it alone." They assume that success de pends entirely on self reliance, and whether the prize be a bonanza or a bone their motto is to "go it alone," or as much alone as is possible. But the game of euchre teaches a higher and a better lesson than to "go it alone" a fact pretty clearly set forth by the poet D. A. Levin, in response to the philosophy of Saxe. Says Levin: Whet's the worth of the world If dreary and cold, You selfishly seek all tne Honors to noid. Repelling tout neighbors with glances of stone. And the words harshly spoken. -I'll go it alone!" No! No! higher up in numanltv 111, Is he who can cheerfully say, "I'll assist!" Then shuflle the pack, cut the cards once again. And let a new moral awaken your strain; Go! Teach to the world that the battle of life Mav be lightened to all who take part in the strife If the generous lesson thus taught be not mUsed. And each man to his neighbor will say, "I'll assslst." Manifestly to "assist" is the true phylosopby. It makes the world brighter and better. It harmonizes discords, it settles strife. It warms and vitalizes men of iceberg natures. It is the shibboleth word of progress, it Is Christianity reduced to a maxim. When a man says "I'll assist," set it down that he has a large heart aglow with friendship and love. Set it down that he is a favorite of the gods. Peter Cooper was saying all along his life, for more than a half century, "I'll assist." But in the battles of life, as in the game of euchre, there ere those who are forever looking Into their hands to see if they have the power to "order up." some unfortunate and make him play a losing game; and they are never si happy as when they can say, "I order you up." To go it alone, tt take all tbe trick. Leaves an opponent in au unfortunate fix, But life Iu another more peppery cup, It is quaffed when an enemt "orders you up." CUKUEXT NOTES. The last fpeclncation against Judge Hoadlyli that he "bolted" Old Bill Allen in 1375. "Jim" Fik, tbe London Spec '.a tor says, is "the only perfectly vulgar mau of genius" it can recall. By the wsy.another of the Balaklara"six hundred" has just died. That reduces the ranks to about 900. Chairman Jokes, ot the National Greenback Committee, says his organization may not succeed in 1S34, but it will sweep the deck in 18S3. The dinner to Mr. Henry Irving, in London, at which the Lord Chief Justice has promised to preside, Is now dehntuly fixed for the 4th of July. Ex Congressman Dieendor!, of Virginia, has sent an open letter to the President clalmtcg that the M shone rule In that State has teeu corrupt and disgraceful. Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnstox has placed a memorial window in St Paul's P. E. Church, Baltimore, iu memory of her sons, James Buchanan and Harry Johnston. George Hearst, the unsuccessful Iemocratlc candidate for Governor of California, is mentioned as the coming Democratic candidate for the United 6 Utes Senate. Senator Dom Cameron and family sail for Europe on the 19th. A French governess, who has been with the family for some time, gce with the children, and they will be placed at school abroad. Colonel Sitting Bcll would be a good one to put in charge of tbe Tewksbury Alms House. He has in him all the elements of a pious Republican Alms House official. Macon (Ga.) Messenger (Dem.) President Arthur did a just and most praiseworthy act In issuing an executive order preventing the stealing of the Zuni Indians' water supply by Senator Logan's son -in law and his ring of associates. Mrs. Acocsta Evans Wilson, the novelist, is cow about fifty yean old, and looks pale and faded; but her eyes are bright, and her face constantly wears a smile. She lives in a flower-embowered cottage on Spring Hill road. Mobile, and devotes most of her time to caring for her busbond, who is a confirmed Invalid. Thrv may talk of harmony a they will, but there is no harmony in the bosom of a party when smoldering feuds can blaz9 up so fiercely upon so Blight a provocation. In the dismissal of Keim the President completed the process cf identifying himself with the half breeds, and finally turned his back upon the Stalwarts. Cincinnati News-Journal (Dem ) GovERNoa Waller, of Connecticut, astonished the railroad corporations of that State by vetoing the bill which passed the Legislature during its last hours reducing taxation on State railroad bonds. Tbe bill wonld have "assisted" one rosd to the extent of fcH.COO. This Is said to be the first Instance in the history of Connecticut where a Governor has ever vetoed a revenue bill when too late to be reconsidered and repassed by the Legislature. California has a State Prison scandal and the Attorney General has submitted to the Governor charges against four State Prison Directors -A. It. Chapman, J. II. Neff. William F. McNutt and J. W. Schell. He charges them with neglect of duty and misconduct In having reported to the late Governor Perkins the general expense and Improvement account of the Prison to be $38.13, which statement was and is false, in that no such sum was ever expended, and that the fact of the statement being false was known to the Directors. Mas. Emily C. Kimrai l, of Riley, Mich., deserves to go on record as a model American woman. She ! eighty-three years of age, and has within the last two years knitted twenty-four pairs of socks and stockings and four pairs of mittens, and made and quilted nine patchwork quilts, some of them of very minute pieces and Intricate patterns, besides assisting with the housework and doing general sewing for the family. The old lady Is a better housekeeper at eighty-three than many of the candidates for matrimony at sweet sixteen are.

THE eighth;

Another Letter From Sr. Flshb&ck to Congressman reelle. How "Worklngmen Look Upon Tariff Legislation Its flect la Foster-tag MonopolyThe Danger to the Republican Party and the Country. The Kewaj Hon. Stanton J. Peelle: I had a talk a day or two ago with a Re publican who said: 'I agree with what you have been saying, and see clearly enough that oar party sooner or later most change its course in this tariff business, but I believe we can carry the State next year on the principle of a 'high protective tariff.' " You see in this the assumption of the "practical politician" that the voters, tbe common people, the workingnen, can oe cajoiea into oeiieving mat enormous bounties paid to a few selected monopolists will produce an extra abundance of food and clothing for those who work for wages, There is danger that our party leaders may thus underestimate the intelligence of the masses. It is safe to fool the people to the top of their bent while they are in the humor to be fooled, but they make quick and thorough work with their deceiv rs when they open their eyes to the true Btate of the case. To show yon that they are already opening their eyes, I copy here an extract from a letter addressed to me by mechanic who works in one of the largest mscaiDB taopt in maiana. lie says: "I am employed is the large shops of in this place and am brought in daily contaet ith a targe nnmoer 01 ine met names ana worklngmen about the place, ank find your letters are heartilv indorsed by a lan?e portion of the Republicans aoout tne woris. My object la wilting to you is toawure you that there nas been ia ths last two years a radical change among the worklngmen of ibis place in reference to the tariff. I helped organize the Republican party in Indiana in '56. and since that time have been identified with the party and have been brought into close contact with the laboring portion of the party, and therefore speak advisedly when I say taat the laboring men are di-gusted wli h this talk about -pauper labor' by men who are Importing duty free pauper labor to compete with them. I think you may safely say to our leaden that if they attempt to carry ludiana in '4 on a high tariff platform, they will be wors surprised than they were last fall. The fact is the Republican party must face about or go under." This man represents a large class who are tired of hearing platform palaver about protecting American industry, when they see the men who write such platforms enactirjg laws which increase the hardships of the laborers, while they add to the enormous wealth of the men who employ the laborers. Statistics such as Mr. Kelly produces showing the rapid accumulation of wealth in the country may gratify one's national pride, but what should Interest u more is to know how the wealth is distributed. Wealth unequally distribnted, where the inequality is not the result of legislative interference, but comes from thought and industry on the one hand, or idleness and wastefulness on the other, gives no cause for complaint. But where laws are enacted, such as the tariff law we have been examining, at the dictation of the rich and powerful, the effect of which is to diminish the food and clothing of the poor and weak, there will be signs of discontent. A good citizen should take no pride in the growth of great private fortunes and corporate wealth if it results in widening and deepening the gulf which separates the rich fron the poor. Poverty disfranchised and ignorant may be kept in subjection with the bayonet Pov erty armed with the ballot and intelligent enough to trace effect to cause will punish its oppressors. Sissy Jope says that when her teacher Mr. McChoakumchild was explaining to her clas about National prosDeritv.'he said: "No w, this school room is a nation. And iu this nation are iif y millions of money. Isn't this a prosperous nation? Girl number twenty, isn't this a prosperous nation and ar'nt you in a thriving state?" Sissy being number twenty and unsophisticated, answered that she did not know, and thought she couldn't know whether it was a prosperous nation or not, or whether she was in a thriving state or not, unless she knew who had got the money and whether any of it was hers. Sissy June's hesitation was natural. The French peasant, gathering nettles to make broth for his starving chiidren.took no fatisfaction in the knowledge that the nobles of Paris were enjoying themselves, and lovaltv to the Queen can not reasonably be expected on the part of Irish pessants who are barelv subsisting on a small allowance of "third rate potatoes." Something tells the French peasant and the. Imh peasant that it is not God, but . the unjust laws of man that atllict them thii". and the e Miction is none the less because it is said by tbe rulers that the public good requires it. Men with ballots will find a way to prevent or correct such evils before they are brought to a diet of nettle soup and "tnird rate potatoes." .Now it so nappens that we are producing in this country a class of nabobs who can only tubsist in a commu nity where the rich are yetting richer and the poor poorer a state of thincs which. continued a few years lonsrer, will brine many of tbe working-classes to this nettle and potato diet or no diet at all. When you hear that Jay Gould approves your high tann legislation it should make yon put on your thinking cap and consider what you nave been doing Gould's money shows what genius for villainy, aided by corrupt legislation and a corrupt judiciary, may accomplish. Jim Fisk, the accomplice of Gould's earlier crimes, said it was folly to acquire money by the slow process of legitimate business when it could be obtained by the speedier method of "rescuing properly from its owners." The Grand Opera House, of New York, and the Erie I tail way were the fruits of the first nettv larcenies St these footpads a mere bagatelle to the lar.er devil-fish acquisitions of the surviving partner, whose ex chequer is now said to contain $100,000.U00. JCvery dollar of that sum represents a hard day's work of some laborer. Not a dollar of it has been gained in legiti mate business pursuits. Cunning lawyers, corrupt Judges and pliable legislators have conspired with Mr. Gould to filch it from the pockets of men who labored to produce it. For one I am nor pleased with the spec tacle. I take no comfort in the assurance that Mr. Gould pat $400,000 in the Republican campaign fund in 1330. It is more probable that he also contributed liberally to tbe fund with which Senator Barnum was carrying on the mule trade in Indiana, for he has more than once declared that he was neither Republican nor Democrat, but worked with either party when it helped his schemes. The point I wish to impress npon you is, that legislation which encour ages tbe rapid accumulation of such for tunes is viscious and dangerous. The really dangerous classes in this country are the lobbyists who procure such legislation. The Bessemer steel lobby was powerful enough to induce Congress to enact a law which, if not speedily changed, will shut up every rail mill in the country but tnose owned or controlled by tne steel mo nopoly. It cm not possibly be true that yon voted for that law with your eyes open and with a full understanding of Its necessary effects. You certainly are not willing to have your constituents believe that you supported a measure which increases the enormous profits of a giant monopoly of the State of Pennsylvania, and says to the people of Indiana who have invested their means in two large Bteel rail mills that they shall not turn a wheeL Were I in your place I had rather confess that I voted in ignorance of the purpose and effect of each a law than to say that I gave
