John G.. Thompson has executed another

The Greenbacker has an arduous time of
it keeping his movement under way in the
face of an increasing prosperity. He makes
valiant effort, however, and has succeeded
in having conventions called in several new
states this year. OF course he never elects
anybody, but he furnishes an opportunity for
few disabled politicians in every state to
get their names in the papers, and in doing
this contributes no small amount to the sum
of human happiness.

WILLIAM BLACK, the novelist, in his new
story, "Green Pastures and Piccadilly,"
brings some of his men and women to Amer-
lea. As they sit one evening on the balcony
OF Saratoga hotel, they overhear two men,
evidently Democratic politicians, discussing
the political situation. Apparently Mr.. Black
knows the species well. After describing the
scene on the balcony the novel goes on:
Was it not kind of these two gentlemen,
both of whom wore ample frock-coats and
straw hats, to place their chairs just before US
on the lawn, so that we could not but overhear
their conversation? And what was it all about?
''Pennsylvania's alive-jest alive" said the
elder of the two. ''The miners are red-hot-

CHANGES In New England Populationn

"CHANeEs in New England Population" is
the tile of an interesting paper recently read
before the Social Science Association BY DIR.
Nathan Allen, of Lowell. In 1870 there were in
Massachusetts, Isl, ,193 persons who were ma
tlVes OF other New England States, and in
other New England States Il, AL persons who
were natives of Massachusetts,. The gain to
that State by the exchange has therefore
been S5,752. The statistics show move
ment still more remarkable of the country
population into the cities. From 1865 to
1875, out Of 342 towns in Massachusetts,, 200
increased in population, while 142 decreased
by over 100000 inhabitants. About half of
the loss was occasioned by the annexation of
four places to Boston. The loss in most cases
however, has been in small farming towns,
and has been ca used by the removal of the
agricultural population to the cities. The
farming class has, indeed been diminishing
steadily during the last fifty years. In 1875
the number employed in agriculture was
7O,945, while the number employed in manu-
factures was SIG, ,459, those in domestic and
personal service 424,2s9, etc. One-half Of
the persons employed in agriculture are paid
laborers, and they are gradually acquiring
possession of the soil, and constituting them
selves the farming class. DR.. Allen believes

The legal. fraternity of Salt Lake city are
justified in entertaining the opinion that, so
far as they are concerned, the good time COM
ing has arrived and that hard times are at an
end. For there are to be law suits, lot of
them, over the real estate left by the great
and good Brigham Young. He had great
deal of that article and now, it seems, it is
uncertain VINO is the owner. AS the head OF
the Church, the Prophet held the title to big
blocks of valuable buildings. The Church
accordingly claims all such real estate But
the widows and children of the late lamented
say ''not so," and argue that the title which
was in him is now in them. 1t promises to
be an exceedingly pretty fight in which the
beauties of the Mormon religion and of Brig
hams character will be carefully unfolded in
sight Of the Gentles. The effect of the ac-
tion Of the heirs has already had a disastrous
influence upon the Saints as body. 1t is
given out that the vacancy caused by
Young's death will not be filled by new
election. The shrewd Saints do not propose
to give another Prophet the opportunity of
holding their titles to things temporal.

ONE particular German institution is de-
cidedly unpopular among the German people.
There are 1,055,000 men inscribed on the
military lists of the German Empire. OF
these, as many as 39S,OO0 hav their names
set down in black list as having failed to
observe the law of compulsory military SER
vice, and 100000 Of these have got out of
the way of it by emigrating. One in eight
able-bodied Germans has resolved to quit his
fatherland rather than stop at home and
share the prevailing poverty and enforced
military service which his nation has to en-
dure. In this manner Germany loses much
of the muscle and brain Of her young men.

SENATOR EDMUNDs says there are no
abuses in the civil service in Vermont and no
need of reform there. Secretary Sherman
says that it is not in Ohio that the wrong ex-
lists. Gen. Wilson says that in Iowa the ser
vice is as good as it can be. And so by such
process of exclusion we reach the truth
that the evil is limited to a few localities.
