COLUMBUS, South Carolina, baa bad six more earthquake shocks. Seems as If there must be a volcano under that locality. __ _____
IT is estimated that California will ship 200 million pounds of fruit to the East this season. Thanks, California, we will know what to do with it.
JtrixiE MABTISDAI-K, one of the Indi ana World's Fair commissioners, proposed the solution of the site question which was adopted. When it comes to practical work the Hoosier State is not in the habit of getting left.
THK tactions of the doctors that we would have a return engagement of "the grip" the coming winter, seems likely to be fulfilled. The disease is said to have made its appearance In Vienna, but in a changed form from last year, attacking the intestines instead of the throat.
THK "balance of power" is agitating the European nations again. England, Franco asid Russia are about to form an alliance to offset the compact of Germany, Austria and Italy. What nonsense all this scorns to nineteenth century people who live on this side of the wator.
It is known that railroading is hazardous business but the statistics are appalling, At a meeting of trainmen the other day at Jersey City it was stated that in the United States the past year 20,000 railroad men were crippled for life and 2,700 were killed. Running a railroad train is about as dangerous a-going to war.
TUB Farmers'Alliance may not choose to go into politics generally but if it does It may troublo the politicians not a 11* tie. The organization exists in 30 States and is said to have a membership of two and a half millions. It will probably take a hand in tho Congressional elections with a view of showing its power and securing tho passage of laws in which the (armors and workingtneu are especially interested.
Somk of tho preachers get very fair salaries nowadays. Dr. Taylor, of New York, gets $10,000, Abbott, Storrs and Bohronds, of Brooklyn, have$10,000each and (Junsaulus, of Chicago, $8,000. When to those figures is added the handshme rovonuo f-otno of them make from the pen and platform and the fat fees for marrying rich people, It is evident that the modern servant of tho Lord fares sumptuously.
AccouiJtNo to the Chicago Herald (Democratic) there is a groat gulf
be
tween President Harrison and United States Treasurer Huston and Washington is too small to hold them both. Mr. Huston is going to resign, come homo and Join his political destiny with the Oresham forces
hereafter.
The state
mont Is that Mr. Huston spent. $90,000 of his own hard, yellow gold to carry Indiana for Harrison and got snubbed, otlklally and socially, for his pains. He is tired of It and is going to quit. So the story goos, but whether false or true Tho Mall does not vouch.
Who would ever have thought, In this age of Tolstois, Auielle llives, Tolas and Fawcetts, that Longfellow's poems would come under tho suspicion of hn purity Yet that Is what has happened. The superintendent of public schools of Brooklyn hm been appealed to by several of the principals to exclude the poet's "Building of the Ship" from the schools, on the ground that it is "full of allusions likely to demoralise the young." This will l»e ft surprising dis covery to most people, tho general opln ion being that Longfellow* was on® of the purest of poets and of men. It must be that the nrooklyn school teachers have been looking through distorted literary glares.
THK World's Fair site has been "set tied" again, and as the choice was made this time by the national commissioners, it will probably stand. The selection is substantially the sit© first proposed, vis: the lake front and Jackson park but to the latter Washington park has been added. Tho iuMii part of the exhibition will, of course, go the parks south of the city, only the more compact features being provided for on the lake front and such as will toe most attiactive by night. The means of transit to and from all points will be ample and the site la be Heved to lie as nearly perfect as It was possible to select. The work of planning and erecting the grttt buildings will now go forward without delay and the various State* and Territories of the Union, as well as foreign nations, will begin their preparations for a grand ex hibition, which ought to be the mml magnificat of any the nations have yet seen,
Oi4 Ben FnmfcUa #«?h »n original Amorfara, and mxwh of a philosopher that he c*n mv«r |«i» out ot our minds and heart#. But now the Intend In him is b*r!o* singular revival One hundred year* he left to the city of Philadelphia t» fee loaned out tor 10® years, at the end of which
valne to the city. The legacy now amounts to about $100,000, andT $60,000 of it is available fur such use as the trustees may doem of greatest value to the city. As most of the objects named in Franklin's will have long since been accomplished the authorities are at a loss to know what use to make of the money, but have about concluded to apply it to the higher education of women. The other $31,000 is to go on accumulating for another 100 years before it can be used. There is no telling what the amount of it may be by that time, but if well invested it can hardly fail to be an enormous sum. Thus Franklin's name and memory are likely to be perpetuated in .Philadelphia for years to come.
APPLES.
It fs evident that apples are going to be apples this year. It is said that half the apples used in the country are grown in western New York, but the crop of that section is a
rota£
failure this year.
Orchards that can usually be counted on for 25,000 bushels hardly furnish enough this year to make a pie, and the apple growers of New York will have to live oil their surplus from better years, to a great extent.
Fortunately the crop has been good iu parts of Missouri and fair in a few other sections, but averaging it up for the whole country there has net been so bad a year for apples in along while. The apple is the king of all the fruits, owing to Us fine keeping qualities and popularity with all classes, and its scarcity and high price will bo seriously felt the country over. We shall have to get along as we can through the coming winter with few apples and less cider, hoping that nature will make up for the shortage by a double crop nexisummer.
SOCIALISM.
It is remarkable bow rapidly some of the ideas of socialism have spread in this country of late. Aside from Bellaaly'rt book and some others in a similar vein which have had large sales, our current literature, in bouks, magazines and newspaper, is strongly marked with discussions of tho right relations between capital and labor. Mr, Ilowells iu several of his later novels deals pretty largely with tho subject and with manifest sympathy for the industrial clashes. The questiou has many points of view and is much complicated. It has to be looked at from ail feldes, considered iu its many relations io the individual and tho public, and what is for the greatest good of the greatest number discovered and adopted. Wrongs are never righted until it Is settled that they are wrongs. As long as slavery was considered lawful and right it could stand. The point first to be determined, is whether, or to what extent, our presont industrial system is wrong. When that question is decided there will I a general movoment for the improvement of existing conditions. The oncouragiug thing now is thfct «o much Intelligent thought Is being converged upou tho subject, that It is being discussed so fairly, honestly and temperately from so many different jonts of view. New light must and will come from dissuasion and as noarly as possible tho right and just thing will be done.
Fi:wm MAiUiiAom.
From the question, "Is Marriage a Failure?" discussion has naturally turned to the questiou why men and womon do not marry. They do marry to some extent but not as much as they once did. It may or may not be a good sign of the times, but tho fact is that tho proportion of unmated men and women is larger to-day than ever before in the history of this country.
The fact is variously accounted for. On the one hand the bacheldr doesn't care much to be married. He is very comfortable in his cosy rooms, has a good time at his club and is lionised in aocloty. He doosn't much feel the need of a wife and when he reflects upon tho heavy responsibilities of married life and Its curtailed freedom, he questions the advisability of going into Hand frequently decides against it.
Then "the woman in the case" is not the woman of twenty-five years ago She has ceased to dread becoming an did maid. She has learned to look out for herself, to be independent of relatives, friends or lovers. She has fouud that she can do about everything that men can, although she has only been in the business a abort time. When a fellow asks her to be his nowadays she stops to think about It and very often concludes that she would rather be her own than anyone else's. She has about reached the man's level on the marriage question and can he as Independent as he.
For these aud other reasons it has come about that marriages are relatively fewer than they used to be. It is by no means certain that the change is to be deplored. There have boen too many "marriages in times past. Every unfortunate marriage has been on# too many Some of these were certainly doe to haste and an undue feeling of dependence upon the woman's part, When marriage was considered the only destiny for women she was more willing to jump at the first offer than she ought to have been. It might be then or never for her and she did not want to "get left." Now it does not matter whether aae get* left or not *»d she can take her time to fully Ittr veettgate the emse and tm whether ft would be a good thing to get married or not.
