The greatest truths are the simplest; so
are the greatest men. The same thing
may be said of manufacturers. The
patent about B. r. Rabbits Toilet Soap,
is that its elements are so perfect and
pure that they need no unnatural scent.
An effort to conceal argues something to
be concealed. This new toilet soap con-
ceals nothing by false fragrance, for it
has all the open simplicity of truth and
honesty, being compounded of the best

The Capitol concluded, -Statua>1
Hall, Senate CHanb<r-H0use OF
REPRESENTATIVE.
The room, formerly occupied as
the House of Representatives is now
the national Hall Of Statuary, and
was modelled after the remains of a
Grecian Theater at Athens. 1t is
semi-circular in form and its roof is
supported by columns of variegated
marble. Statues of General Greene,
Roger Williams, Ethan Allen, John
Winthrop, and some other illustrious
persons are here, and, also, the ia
nous Winnie Ream statue of Lin
coin for which she received $4,000.
A collection of paintings for this
room has also been commenced,
but is not yet extensive.
The senate Chamber, situated in
the north wing Of the Capitol, will
seat, including the galleries, about
1000 persons and the House of
Representatives, in the south wing,
1900. The bronze door, leading in
to the main entrance to the Senate
wing, is another wonderful piece of
condensed history. 1t is in two
valves, one commemorating war and
its conflicts, the other, peace and its
triumphs, and upon the panels of
these valves are represented the
Battle Of Bunker Hill and death of
Warren, Battle Of Monmouth and
Gen. Lee, Hamilton in Seige of
Yorktown, Death of a Hessian SOL
der, Peace" an allegory, Ovation
to Washington, Inauguration of the
first president and the laying Of the
corner stone of the capitol. This
door was Crawford's last work.

Next came pa

tive" legislation. Next. came pa
tentees, asking for extensions, which
were granted, Notwithstanding that
the people had to suffer the penalty.
Then, came the bankers-they,
too, needed protection, although it
had to be extended by beggared
people. Indeed, our statute books
are filled with these laws for the
protection" Of certain classes, and
the result is that the wealth of the
country is absorbed by the few, and
the many are reduced to want.
This process of absorption is still
in operation. The wealth is con-
tinually flowing into the hands of a
smaller number Of the most wealthy
capitalists, while the numbers Of
those who are reduced to penury are
continually increasing. And this
must be the the case so long as the
laws passed for the special benefit
of any class or classes remain in
force. We hear now Of starving
thousands in our great cities, but
the same causes that have reduced
them to this terrible condition, and
which are annually largely increas-
ing their numbers, must in a short
time extend to others than the inhab-
itants of cities, and to classes better
circumstanced than the average la
borer. And as the accumulation Of
wealth increases, in the same ratio
will its power to accumulate in
crease, and augmentation of this pow
er must be accompanied by cores
ponding rapidity Of its accumula-
ton.
Now, it is no part of the govern
ment to provide food and clothing
for the citizen, but it is no more a
part of its mission to take these from
the citizen; and when, as by special
legislation for the benefit of a class
it must do, it indirectly robs one
class of citizens in order to protect
another it is guilty of usurping pow
ers which cannot be german to the
purposes Of its creation, and the use
of which must inevitably result in gen
eral injury. If, then, we would ra-
ideally remedy the evil now affecting
our large cities and prevent their
future recurrence, we must undo all
legislation devised for the peculiar
benefit OF classes, and give all citl-
zens an equal chance to win their
fortunes, 50 far as the. operation of
the laws is concerned.
