VICTIMS OF CIVILIZATION.

People Among Whom the True Field ot Sympathy and Charity Idee. Providence Journal. ' ' The vast increase of material prosperity is the most remarkable feature of the present century. Almost unlimited qualities of the precious metals have been dug out of the earth; natural forces, steam, electricity, fire and water have b?en adapted to the production of wealth; improve ethods of tilling the soil have greatly increased its productive power; cheap means of transportation and pommercial lines to all quarters of the world have placed the productions of every climate within the reach of all but the poorest, whereas but a century ago they were at the command of only the wealthiest. Better educational methods, clearer ideas of religion, philanthropic agencies, improved sanitary regulations, and discoveries in medical science have all contributed to the elevation of the face. These agencies, operating very low down in society, have been of incalculable benaflt; and while they have raised one class very high, placing all the world has at the command of the millionaire, it should not be forgotten that they have correspondingly raised the great majority of the poor. There is bo doubt that the laborer is better paid, better housed, fed and clothed, his children better educated, and his mental and spiritual needs better met than ever before. These elevating influences are constantly extending their operations, going down still lower, and gradually getting control of the disastrous forces that had so long preyed upon human life. It seems to be ar that we have •nly to be patient to witnesa the final triumph of these elevating influences, and that this can take place, not py revolution, but only by the silent and gradual operation of natural laws. While we may not hope for the abolition •f poverty and the extinction of suffering, may hope for the gradual lessening of these evils. This fact seems to have been forgotton.not onlj by anarchists, but by labor reformers, antipoverty men and theorists in general, who assume that only revolution can correct evils which others besides themselves equally recognize and deplore. What is needed, however, is not revolution, but faith jn those influences which have already civilized man, andfeem to have no limitation of their power to elevate the race, if only a little time and -patience lire given. At the same time it is equally evident that in the mean time there is a class below the line of elevation, where circumstances, through no fault of their own, are made harder by the very conprosperity

greater. The tendency at present is to make this class appear larger than it is, and to place within it many who do not really belong there. About the ablebodied and the quick-witted we need not worry. Much of the expressed Sympathy with the laboring class is misplaced. If it be true that they are insufficiently paid, the influences above mentioned are certainly elevating their condition, and it is better to-day than yesterday, and will be still better tomorrow. And in any case they can be trusted to win their rights, as all rights have to be won, in competition with existing forces. The true field of sympathy is among those whom civilization unfits for any struggles who are neither able-bodied nor clear-minded, and whom the fierce competition of life is depressing still lower and destroying. They are not only “prisoners of poverty,” but prisoners of disease, and may be called the victims of our civilization. The high pressure under which we live makes it certain that many will be born with weak and nervous organizations. They bear the penalty of the increased mental activity of the race. Many disabled by accident, widows ahd children w’hose natural protectors have fallen in the struggle to keep up in the rapid pace at which life moves, and the larger number who, from inherited mental and moral weakness, are incompetent, belong to this class. The factory and the tenement systems have their victims. Our disregard, of -well-known sanitary laws, misplaced municipal econemy and unchecked intemperance and crime have their victims, who, without any fault of their own, have to bear the penalty of our neglect. Any one whose work lies among the poor knows how enormous they are. They may be found in the cheaper tenements of every city, where sanitary conditions are worst, with pale faces and imploring eyes and emaciated bodies that tell of insufficient food and malarial air.

4 ' T< They are simply victims, and can not be truly called by any other name—victims of our mean economy, selfishness, love of our own comfort, and carlessness about the way the less fortunate classes are living. We do not any longer publicly offer human sacrifices to supposed gods, but in back streets and unhealthy tenements such sacrifices are being daily offered to the gods Mammon, Self ishness, Indifference, and to the god Civilization. Nor can any one of us plead entire innocence of complicity. The victims are lower millstones to our lipper, and are ground by the same forces that are elevating us. It is among these unfortunate and dependent people that the true field o sympathy and charity lies. To neglect them. aeemsnot only a cruelty, hut a meanness. To care for them is not so

much an act of charity as of duty. To be mindful of thia, duty is one of the most beautiful teachings of the Christian religion. There is not a line of its teachings which sanctions indiscriminate almsgiving—the feeding of the idle hungry or the clothing of the lazy naked; but for the sick, the infirm, the weak and the incompetent it has always taught relief and care. Just the air is heated and the most favorable places are uncomfortable, it is certain that great actual and undeserved suffering exists, which comes too painfully to the notice of city missionaries and those in charge of hospitals and homes for •hildren or aged men and women. If the favored many who are leaving the city for comfort or pleasure would leave behind them a contribution to the fresh air fund, the hospital, the Day nursery the Woman’s City Missionary Society, or other institutions whose work is entirely among the “victims of civilization,” it would relieve much actual distress and perhaps make their own enjoyment greater.

THE TIDE OF IMMIGRATION.

A Tabulated Statement Correcting Some Erroneous Impressions. Pittsburg Commercial Gaaette. Considerable has been written of late concerning immigration to this country, and the notion has in somewise been inculcated that a very large percentage has been from Ireland, owing to the unhappy state of affairs in that distressed island. The official statistics do not verify this assumption. The total immigration to the United States for the fiscal year ended June 30;1887, was 483,111, against 328,895 in the preceding fiscal year, an increase of 47 per cent. The increase from Ireland was only 30.2 per cent, while from the whole United Kingdom the increase was 44.3 per cent. Whatever else may be said of the Irish question, it has not led to immigration to America so rapidly from that country as has been the case from other parts of the United Kingdom. Neither has it been so great as from some European countries. In order to put the exact status of immigration before our readers at a ; glance weJhave added to the tables of the Bureau of Statistics a computation of increase or decrease of percentage from each country for 1887 compared with the preceding year, which is as follows: ?

1887 1886 Increase, per cent. Great Britain and Ireland- 71,020 50, iq 47.5 England and Wales 68,13 49,196 38.2 Ireland 18,6:3 12,114 53.1 Scotland - 44.3 Germany 106,559 8.4,775 26.1 France...... <,034 3,30' 55.3 Austria 20,328 11,888 70.9 Bohemia and Hungary 19,807 16,734 18.3 Russia, Finland,and Po land 36,887 21,706 70.0 Sweden and Norway.. 56,741 39,683 4'.9 Den mark.' 8,800 6,1.2 - 87.5 Netherlands... 4,506 2,314 99.2 Italy 47,524 21/03 131.0 Switzerland.......... 5,213 4,80 > 8.5 All other countries 9,234 5,636 67.2 Total 483.116 328,89? 46.9 If counted by numbers simply, more people came form England and Wales and far more from Germany than from Ireland. If estimated by percentage, the rush of our immigration is evidently from Italy, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, and “all other countries.” The movement hither is world-wide. It becomes an important social, as well as political problem whether the people of this Nation have provided adequate safeguards to their institutions to render them secure against the influences which must necessarily be brought to be«ir upon them under our popular form of Government—in, other .words, whether we are constitutionally strong enough to assimilate these increasing foreign elements without radical changes in our body politic.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.

Fred Douglass is just home from an extensive European trip. He says not by a single gesture did any one indicate disapproval of his color or the kink of his hair. George Vandkye, the millionaire “lumber king” of Northern New Hampshire, was fourteen years ago earning his living by chopping in the Woods in Coos County at S2O a month and board. He is but 36 years old. Golden trout are found in but one place in the world. That is in the brooks of Mount Whitney, up near the banks of everlasting snow. They have a golden stripe down each side, and are the most beautiful fish that swim. John Grelisb, of Toronto, who was sentenced to twenty-five lashes on the bare back and received them, says he would rather take three years’imprisonment than another such beating. He thought he could repress even a sigh, but at the third stroke he yelled for mercy.

Waded Across the Mississipi.

Quinsy, 111., Dispatch, Aug. 16. A few days ago George McCroue, public administrator of Adams county, waded the Mississippi a few miles above the city. This is the first time the river has been crossed this way since 1846, when a Frenchman from St. Louis performed the same feat. McCroue, by the way, is something of a character. In 1878 he swam from La Grange, Mo., to Qpnicy, a distance of ten miles, in two hours and thirty minutes. In 1879 he repeated the performance, and again inlMl.

CONVICT LABOR.

Views and Deductions of Carroll D. Wright, Commissioner of Labor. Washington Special, July 25. The report of the Commissioner of Labor, Carrol D. Wright, on convict labor in the United States, gives a mass of figures from each State and Territory. There are four different systems, the report says, in vogue throughout the country—the contract convict system, the piece system, the" public account system, and the lease system. The first system is most prevalent. Under it more convicts are employed and more goods manufactured than any other. The prison officers generally advertise for bids for the employment of convicts, the highest responsible bidder securing the contract. The piece price is a modification of the contract system, the contractor having nothing to do with the convicts. The contractor furnishes the. prison officials with material ready for manufacturing, and the offiicials return the completed work at an agreed price for each piece. The public account system consists in working the convicts by the prison officials for the benefit of the State. The lease system is that by which the convicts are let to* contractors for a specified gross sum. The returns show that there were employed at productive labor, during the time covered by the investigation, 42,799 convicts, divided as follows: Contract system, 15,425; piece system 4,90<; public account system, 11,888, and lease system, 8,793.' Concerning competition with frfee labor, the report says: “It is perfectly evident from information derived from the tables that the competition arising from the employment of convicts so far as the whole country is concerned, would not, of itself, constitute a question worthy of serious discussion. The product of the prisoners is but fifty-four hundredths of 1 per cent, of the total mechanical products of the country. The whole prison population of those institutions in which productive labor is carried on if but one in a thousand of the population of the country, and those engaged in convict labor but one in 800 of those engaged in free mechanical labor.” Lest one might naturally suppose that there was no such thing as convict competition with free labor, the next few lines are quoted: “These facts, however, do not invalidate the claim that, locally, and in certaig industries, the competition may be serious and of' Rimh prnpnrtiLwC ar to claim the most earnest attention of legislatures.” While the Commissioner is particularly cautious about expressing a decided opinion on any point, it is surmised that he is in favor of hard under labor the public account system as it keeps prisoners employed and does not come so much as the others in competition with free labor. “This plan, then,” says the report, “has justice in it affecting Jail people alike. It has humanity in it, because it allows every effort for reformation without any entanglement or interference through forms of labor. It has morality in it, because it removes affectively the whole question of convict lsbor agitation, not only from the minds of the workingmen and manufacturers, but from the list of questions agitating the public.” A valuable part of 'Mr. Wright’s report is an appendix giving an abstract of convict-labor laws now in force in different States and Territories.

A Killing Bait for Bass.

“I have discovered a sure bait for bass,” said an old fisherman recently, “but mind you, don’t you put this in your paper. It is snakes’ tails. Everybody has observed that the tail of a snake don’t die until sundown, but keeps wriggling all day after the rest of the snake has climbed the golden stairs. Now bass, above all fish, want a lively bait. The idea struck me one day when I was fishing. A freshly-killed snake was lying in the weeds while its tail was keeping up a lively agitation. I took my knife, cut the tail off, put on the hook and threw out about, thirty feet from the shore, Ino sooner tightened up my line t,han I had a vigorous bite, and in five seconds I was pulling away on a three pounder. In half an houir 1 bail landed eight bass, averaging two pounds each. The ninth one got away with the bait and my fun ceased. I tried other bait, but only got one fish in the next four hours. I then started out to hunt snakes. I found one after an hour’s search, cut off his tail, and it lasted me for five bass, which I pulled out inside of 20 minutesjbut I had a fine basket full and was ready to quit.

“Since then I have a couple of coun try bbvs in my employ, who catch alive and bring to me all the snakes they see, and I now have no trouble in getting all the bass I want every time Igo fishing. At first I killed the snakes and cut off their tails, but then I made an important discovery which will enable me to fish all summer with a dozen snakes. I found that by cutting off the tails while the snake was living and putting a little cqsmoline on the Wound it not only healed, but that in about three weeks’ time the snake would grow an entirely new tail, just as lively as the old one. But mind, don’t put this in the paper. If you do snakes will soon be as scarce as they are in Ireland, and by the time the season is over there will be no bass left.” —Th® ®nly cuTBTor C»t*rfh rn tK# in»rket 11Hall's Catarrh Care.

Peculiar

In the combination, proportions, and preparation of its ingredients. Hood’s Sarsaparilla accomplishes cures where other preparations entirely fail. Peculiar in its good name at home, which is a “tower of strength abroad,” peculiar in the phenomenal sales it has attained, Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the most successful medicine for purifying the blood,giving strength, and creating an appetite. Many a husband wished that the tradesmen would trust him as fully as his wife does.

Only Thirty-six Per Cent.

of those who die from consumption inherit the disease. In all other cases it must either be contracted through carelessness; or, according to the new theory of tubercular parasites, received directly from others as an infectious disease. But in either case, Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery” is a positive remedy for the disease in its early stages. It is delay that is dangerous. If you are troubled with shortness of breath, spitting of blood, night-sweats or a lingering cough, do not hesitate to procure this sovereign remedy at one. It looks as though the Volunteer will take the Thistle down.

and the artificial effect of cosmetics, no matter how deftly applied, can never make beautiful or attractive one who is subject t© emaciation, nervous debility, or any form of female weakness. These must be reached by inward application, and not by outward attempts at concealment, and the ladies may take hope from the fact that thousands of their sisters have made themselves more radiant and beautiful by the use of Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription” then they could ever hope to do by the aid of the appliances of the toilet.

General Rosecrans’ Fish Story

General Hosecrans tells a wonderful story about a curiosity in the possession of the Society of California Pioneers. It is a section of timber taken from the side of the Powhattan, including a portion of the skin, which is four inches thick, and a piece of the abutting knee, which is nine inches thick. Transversely through the whole a swordfish has dashedliiß sword, and the portion broken off is still left imbedded in the timber. The sword pierced through fourteen inches of solid oak, and the fish was going in the same direction as the vessel, was under a good head of steam. An idea of the strength which must have been exerted can be obtained from the fact that a rifled six-pound-er could not have done more than pierce that thickness of wood. People of the vessel state that they felt the shock caused by the bio v, and thought that they had struck something floating beneath the surface. The sword is over six inches wide at the broadest point, where it is brekeh off.

Crossing Niagara on a Bicycle.

Buffalo Cor. New York Bun. AlphonseJCing, of New York, has successfully accomplished the feat of crossing th Niagara torrent below the cataract on a water bicycle. One trip was made from the American to the Canadian shore in four and a half minutes, and, contrary to expectations, the 'rapids-did not capsize the novel craft. The apparatus consisted of two long ■inc cylinders for buoyancy, and the propelling power was a bicycle-wheel with small paddles attached. When mounted on the machine the tubes sank so low in the water that King appeared to be riding a regular wheel across the gorge. He wore a high hat, a Prince Albert coat and rubber leggings, the latter being the only protection from the water. A boat-load of reporters, rowed by Tom Conroy, the noted guide, went along to rescue King in case he capsized. The current carried him diagonally in the direction of the whirlpool rapids, but he had sufficient control of the bicycle to succe ed in the performance.
