its natire haunts; But such is the

Mndition if our population, es

pecially in the great lower classes, ignorant and oppressed by money Icings, that they are ready to try any theory, however new and faWions. if only it pretends to

afford them relief. This makes

communism a question likely to disturb, yet more, the great indus

tries of our country and to perplex

die wisest statesmanship.

One thing that has blest our conn

try ana aisunguisnea onr cituiuuou

from tnat of every other land is we absence of caste. Our forefathers

flrava us a ttonstittrtion. desiamed to

secure the equality of man. Bat

since that time . the increase and

concentration of wealth and direr

sity in the systems of education and labor have tended to create distinct

classes or castes in our citizenship.

The process of differentiation seems to be at work among the various ele

ments of onr people. The gulfs be

tween these classes grow slowly it

maybe, but surely. The higher

olasses recognize the lower only

where policy makes it convenient to

do so. They look upon the laborer

as a necessary evil, "for whom at the great banquet of natu re there is mo place. The kid glove of the aristocrat is removed only when the desire to secure service or votes makes it necessary to shake hands with the son of toil. In muny instances the christian church, whose duty it is to unite mankind and to be at all times no respecter of persons, sanctions and abets this classification. Once the members of every family, in any community, could assemble in the same rude temple or beneath the spreading )oughs of the forest oak, to offer praise to a common Father, but now, die richly attired occupant of the cushioned pew, would have his devotional feelings, disturbed by the presence of the humble worshiper. Our wealth is collecting into massive fortunes. Great monopolies are fast gaining control of all our leading industries. The rich are growing richer and the poor, poorer. The moneyed men are forming a class, similar to the nobility of forefn countries, while the laboring asses approach the condition of the enslaved peasants. The ppresston and abuse of the lower class in

France have done much to bring about her horrid revolutions. Paris and Versailles have lain powerless and bleeding at the feet of an enf uriated mob. Herein originated communism with all its savagery and crime. The influence of caste begot nihilism in Russia, which with the force of an earthquake, shook the mightiest empire of the world, a convulsion whose throes will never cease to rock the throne of despotism till its foundations are broken up, and it falls a victim to its own tyranny. The same principle of distinction between the rich land holder and the poor tenant of Ireland's soil, has turned what was once the seat of learning and the home of a prosperous and happy people, into a land of suffering and revolt. It has driven the once peatsef ul and contented inhabitants, starving and honieless exiles upon the charities of foreign lands. The principle is not yet so fully, developed in our country, but it is rapidly taking definite form. It is threatening the unity of our citizenship, and if permitted to grow upon us, will not fail to blast the fair fruit that should be born, by a free government, to a free people. Another enemy to the unity of our citizenship is fast marshalling its forces. It is not found in the busy marts or work shops of the east, nor is its home in the thrifty villages of the central plain, nor the cotton fields of the south, but far to the west,in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains, where the atmosphere should be too pure for any contaminating or loathsome disease to vitiate society, lies the home of the foulest stain on American civilization When Napoleon was asked what WQuld save France and give her dig

nity among the nations, he replied: "Educate and refine her mothers." Strange, that in a land dedicated to human freedom, where the security and sacredness of the home are the only hope of the country, that be lag around whom clusters all the "happiness of the family, who has the divine mission of perpetuating life, and to whom is entrusted the sacred duty of forming and molding the character of posterity, should be made the victim of the cruelest tyranny ever placed upon humanity. Strange, that a nation that boast of its morality, should permit the foul desecration of the most holy earthly relations. Strange, that in a . land where homes and schools for the fatherless arc a pride, and where even the domestic animals are protected by law, thousands of her children should be doomed to a life of

shame, or 'anguish and die for the want of paternal eare. Mormonism, like a blast of hell, is sweeping over that vast region, searing every heart it touches, against all that is good in

man, withering fair womanhood and marking children with the brand of shame. The United States is said to stand as a lieht house to the

world. She sends her missionaries

to the deserts apd jungles of Asia

and Africa, but at the same time,

there go forth from her shores, emis

saries of a delusion more degradin than the superstitions of the Dar

Continent, promulgating a doctrine

subversive of all that is good in civ

ilization. They seek the simple, unsuspecting peasant of northern Europe, enter the home that has hitherto been happy, polute its sancity,

and destroy its sacred relations.

They induee their victim to follow

tnem to tne -ion in tie west, mere

robbed ot nis means ana nis manhood, he becomes the abject slave of

his captor. In spite of its mdeous-

ness, this crime is "rowing rapidly.

It is possible that ere long it may

hold the balance of political power. Corrupt party spirit allying with it,

m8y put the nation at its mercy. It

does not and cannot unite with the common interests of the country.

Already, it denes the nation's powmww 1. . ..

er. To eradicate tne evil, may re

quire the force of armies and the loss of life, but so foul a page should

be torn from our history, though it

be at the cost of treasure and blood.

These are some of the elements

warring against unity in our citizen-

shin. It is not probable that they will ever cause disunion, but while

they exist, harmony will ever be

disturbed and progress retarded.

Let the prudent energy of the English unite with the rash impetuosity

of the American; the stern phuoso

phy of the German be modified by

the polish and vivacity of the b rench.

Let all the varied features blend in

tne oeauty or narmony. men we

shull have the olden mean a genu

ine character of the highest type.

Let a united christian people crush

forever the Calabau. Polygamy,

and wise legislation banish caste and

curb monopoly. Let education be

thorough and universal. Then will,

the vine of true freedom flourish all

over our land, and "its clusters of

rich and healthful fruit" bless every

home. Then, shall we have a union unshaken by the storms of faction and lasting as eternal truth.

Some of our citizens will remem

ber that at the commencement of

our State University in 1881, we

were visited by a son of the Hon.

James S. Rollins of Columbia,

Missouri, The oldest living grad

uate of the University. He came

to see the institution at which his

lather had completed his collegiate

studies. It is the death of this son

that we now record. When Mr. Rollins visited us he had graduated, and had also pursued certain studies at Harvard. After leaving here, he graduated at the St. Louis Law School, and began the practice of his profession in that city. But his health failed, and in February last he died at his fathers residence. The brief stay of Mr. Rollins here in 1881 impressed upon the minds of all who made his acquaintance, that he was a young man of unusal promise, and possessed, in an unusual degree those personal accomplishments which ender a man to his fellow men.

Lewis Bowlman has been spending much of his time this winter in writing a novel that is now in press, that he has entitled A Month at Johnstons." It will be bound in book form and consist f f fifty-two ehapte r. The principal character i a young collegiate who starts out on a tour and one night finding himself wandering with no place to stay ; so he makes up his mind to stop at the fim house he comes to, which subsequently proves to be farmer Johnstons, and so pleased is he with first impressions that he decides to stay a month. This is the foundation for many evenings that arc spent at the farm-house and the succeeding chapters are given up to discussions that took place before the young man :iid Johnston each evening in which Sir. Bowlman expresses many of his ideas on an endless variety of subjects, in his

way.

ting out to Mr. Dillon's in time

his valuable residence from the flames. A few minutes after 8 o'clock" an alarm was given, discovered to be from fire in t e rear of Dillon's house. The "Sanderson" was out at once, and through the mud, made its way to the field north of the place, fully half a mile, and before the roof fell iu of the kitchen, had the flames extinguished, entirely saving the brick portion. This cxclleiit work only shows what a well organized Company can do, and the Telephone is glad, for the benefit of a few skeptical citizens, that Friday night's 'work was so successful, and of course rejoices on behalf of Mr. Dillon and his family. A number of members of the Sons of Veterans came down from Ellcttsville last Tuesday night and assisted in organizing a Camp of that order here. Joseph Allen, Captain: W. E. Adkins, 1st Lieut. ; Newt. Allen, 2d Lieut,; Chas. H. McPheeters, Chaplain: John Lanmau, Orderly Hergt. The name of the camp is Capt. James Kelly No, 7. The Stockwell liquor case, that was taken to Bedford on a change of vem., was tried this week, and a jury refused to grant license. W. A. Walliugford moved to Uarrodsburg hist Monday. "Hughes' Favorite Cigar" is the best, so all old smokers say. Tryit once.

"FOR GOD AND HOME AND NATIVE LAND." On next Monday night, in the Walnnt Street Church, the women of Bloomington, who have any interest in the temperance reform, are urged to meet for the purpose of organizing a woman's Christian Temperance Union. They will be addressed by Mrs, M. L. Wells, of Indianapolis, president of the W. C. T. W. of the State. All our citizens are iimted, and should turn out to this meeting. Every good woman in town is expected to be there. When the good women faint and fail in this great work who is there left? The fact that we have no licensed saloons to-day is owing greatly to the devoted, fearless effort made by the women ten years ago We are in immeasurably better condition now than we were then; but there is much work to do. Who are willing? Let all who feel that it is not best to give the town up to the saloons and let the boys go to the bad, come to this meeting and let their influence be felt. The women can revolutionize this town, and if they feel half the interest in the matter which they ought to, they will do it. We have among our women some of the best and most devoted workers in the JState, or any other, Let them unite and go to work, and they will have the sympathy and cooperation of all good men. X. Preparatory will have a no th er Contest, and it promises to be of more lively interest than ever. The following list of performers presents a close race. The Seniors are named first. Orators Jesse Hub

bard, Lida McNary. Debaters, A. C. Stephenson, Romulus Boyd. Essayists, Louie Morris, Walter Howe. Declaimers, Lora Wilson, Maud Vanzandt, Jennie Seward, Josie Pittman. The contest is considerably shortened and is already exciting some interest as to who will come out ahead. There will be a uniou meeting of the churches in the M. E. church Sabbath evening. The meeting will be addressed by Mrs. M. L. Wells, of Indianapolis, president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of the State. We hope Mrs. Wells will be greeted by an immense audience, expressive of the feeling of our people. The meeting should

be over flowing. The people of

the town should never take one

backward step in the temperance

reform. The students of the In-

iversitv are especially invited to

hear Mrs. Wells, address.

The Orchestra has reorganized

and at their last meeting selected

Mrs. Anna Phillputt for pianist who has kindly concented to join them, and hereafter the University Orchestra will give us some of that

excelent music that has gained tor it such a reputation in the past.

The condition of County Clerk

Browning remains unchanged, and

as yet the fever is not broken. He is considerable weaker as he takes

no nourishment. His condition is

not regarded as dangerous, so long an there is no change for the worse.

Mr. and Mrs. Dillon wish to ex

press their sincere thanks, through

the Iklkpjionk. to the citizens, who so kindly aided in saving their residence, last Fridav night. Yesterday and to-day boxes, bundles, &c, began rolling into the New York Store, the result of Fields' trip east.
