A aus.tion Of Incomes.

How large ought mans income to
be? How small ought II to bef What
particular proportion of the annual
aggregate product Of the worlds wealth
ought to be the share OF each OF the
worlds inbabitants2 A progressive '
society in London is giving to this sub
iect some reflection, and settled on the
figures. IL estimates $4,000 (about $685.
0O0l a reasonable income-which soe
think n very reasonable estimate; and II
netitions Parliament to fix that very
reasonable and most respectable sum as
the maximum. II desires TO have law
passed that no one shall have an income
larger than f5000-and II the profits OF
anv ones business, or the yield Of any
ones property, should exceed that sum,
the excess, we suppose, IS to De gwen 70
those whose incomes are smallest
The merits Of such law depend en-
t;rely on the point it is viewed from.
Regarded fron that vast lower level OF
humanity. where incomes seldom rise
above the dignity of two ciphers, it seems
an admirable measure; seen from those
favored attitudes, where incomes exceed
the proposed maximum, 1t wears the
aspect Of robbery. 1t must be admitted
that incomes at present are very une-
yenly apportioned; the best persons do
not always receive the largest incomes,
and the smallest incomes do not always
fall to the worst men. But there are
many human evils that human laws can
not remedy; otherwise, We might make
the world so perfect by enactments, that
il would be fit only to be fenced in
and laid aside.-St. LouisH Home Journal.

however, wonld prove hopeful siga OF the
canvass.
la California, which il now represented
in Congress by two Democrats and one Re
publican, there IL no probability that the
Democracy will lose ground, and almost q
certainty that they will gain. The De-
mOcracy carried he finst district last year
by the decisive majority Of 1904, and the
third district by 37S majority. The Radi-
Gals elected Congressman in the second
district by 1867 majority. 1t Is not too
much to hope that the second district may
be redeemed in September, since the same
causes that worked TO our advantage in
Oregon are manifesily felt in California.
The first real contest Of the campaign
will be fought in Maine. Up 10 last year
this State was good every year for a Re-
publican majority offrom fifteen to eighteen
Thousand; but last year this majority was
reduced 10 a little more than eleven thou

DisiranGhiscment OF white men in the

oppression from the outset, is beginning
to boar its fruits In the first place it is
showing the negro that those who set him

the overwhelming majority of the white
men of the whole country, aud particu,
larry those of the North, that the VIII its
race of America must assert their superb

Ethiopian.
Accordingly, on the one hand, we see
the negro ondeavoring to escape the fate
that the bummers, carpet-baggers and
scalawags would bring him to, by going
over to the native white masses of the
South, In Georgia it il positively az
