Thurtew Weed IN EgotIst-A Side Out.
Thurlow Weed Is getting to be garrulous
old woman, as gossipy, II not as entertaining
and instructive, as Saint Simon and other volu-
minous writer's Of French MEMORIES, or as Pepys
and Boswell, their British rivals. But, while
Boswell modestly confined his "reminiscences to
q single hero, the name Of those whom Thurlow
Weed flatters himself with the hope Of immortal
ixing Is legion. 1--we are to take his word for It,
scarcely any one has risen to eminence In the
service Of the State or of the nation who has
not first been shaved and dressed and taught

the American successor of Philip the Bold's
Peter de Brosse and Louis Eevenths Oliver LIE
Daim. Each Of these famous BARRIERS 6spired
70 DO Prime Minister to his king, and one Of
them was hung, as he deserved to be, for his
abuse Of power. But neither was more power
hl and important to the State than Thurlow
Weed makes himself out TO have been. He
would fAin have us believe that he has gov
srned the State and the United States for thirty
years past, through officers Of every degree,
from city councilmen to members Of the Leg
lslature and OF Congress and Of tho Cabinet
Foreign Minister'S, Vice Presidents and Presi-
dents--all, forsooth, creatures and agents Of his
omnipotent will.

Another Of the new ideas az Inc radical

poses that we shall take Canada IN settlement

tus; obstacles develop their power, and reao-
tionary msasurrs lead directly 70 result con-

but provoke those magnificent extremes out Of
the fear Of which they grow. We are evidently

demonstration and development Of those grand
radical and progressive idcas that have grown
mp since the passage Of the Reconstruction law.
The republican press strcnucusly urges a sum-
mcr session, and the democratic press does not
oppose u, feeling, perhaps, that ik voice would
have little weight Moderate republican
organs venture mild doubts a. 10 the expedi-
ency Of Congress meeting At this time. But all
the master spirits Of the republican party In
sist upon the necessity, especially those
master spirits that with Wade and Chandler
are INDUCING themselves in an excursion over
ne Union Pacific Railroad. They are unanI-
nous and imperative In their declaration that
Congress must come together-all these master
spirits; and whether the master spirits OF old

The riots in London and Birmingham may
be the commencement Of revolution, or they
may be merely premonitory indications Of it
In any case their suppression will not change
the purpose which they indicate 1t will but
temporarily postpone events which are being
brought about by influences which are I'M
changed and Interchangeable In their character.
The movement Is, in fact, merely rcsump-
ton Of the struggle which broke out between
the Executive power and Parliament in the
early part Of the seventeenth century, and
which, City years later, was decided In favor of
the latter. The settlement Of 1888 gave mo-
nopoly of power to the English aristocracy,
changed them into close oligarchy, and CEN
tired in a few thousand individuals the posses
sion Of the entire soil Of the country. From
that time to the present this favored GLASS have
continued to grow in wealth and expensive
habits until their luxuriousness exceeds that Of
any people of either ancient or modern times.
The masses, on the other hand, have declined
in comfort and the power of sustaining them
selves, until we have the spectacle Of twenty
five millions Of people struggling for bare
subsistence, while nearly two millions are re-
duced to condition Of absolute pauperism.
But the monopoly Of wealth = not con-
fined merely to the aristocraoy, the personal
property Of the country being centred in
the hands Of small number Of individuals,
banks, railroad corporations, mill owners
and manufacturers, who are even moro
oppressive to the poor than the landholders.
That Is the state Of things which Is producing
such marked evidences Of discomfort in Eng
land and which will inevitably culminate In
revolution.
In this country taxation and Capitalization
threaten to bring about the same results. The
national wealth is being concentrated in tia
hands Of manufacturers and capitalists, while
the great body Of the people are being OPP
pressed and impoverished. They may not
suffer to the same extent as the French and
English have done, but II this state Of things
continues they win have to maintain sharp
struggle for existence. In time this must lead
to revolutionary crisis such a. we now wit
ness In Great Britain. There is but ono course
by which 1t can be avoided, if we have intelli-
gencs, patriotism and craftsmanship enough 70
pursue It, and that Is by breaking up mono
poles Of every kind, and so legislating in the
future that the evil may never again grow upon
us to place MS in such position Of danger.
