A. Railroad CapiiaIizer.
From the Cincinnati Gazette

The present queer furry ofpublic ex.
preston on the railroad question is a
refreshing reminder that only last year
one of the smartest railroad wreckers
of the age was Democratic candidate
for the Presidency, and that the unde-
MED exhibit Of his operations in wreck
ing railroads, in creating fictitious cap
'ital, and in expressing labor to wiring
dividends thereupon, had no effect up
on the Democratic party nor Democrat
ic iaborers, and did not arouse any pro-
nounced public sentiment against him.
Tilden's first operations were west of
Chicago. What Vanderbilt did east OF
that point Tilden did west, but in a
more cunning and dishonest manner.
During the canvass we gave pretty full
accounts of Tilden's operations. They
were never denied. They consisted OF
buying up bankrupt railroads, conspir.
ing to get control of Il paying one to
unload the others upon, then watering
the stock and bonds, and raising charg.
es to pay incomes on these. In this
way was formed the con -olidated roads
known as the Chicago & Southwestern,
with capital doubled by water. Some
of these means would be very mildly
described as theft. After this coR3oii-
dxtion the freights ON produce and
merchandise were raised more than so
per cent. When we talk of govern
nent supervision to secure railroad
capital fair returns, we want to know
what is capital!

The Times and Their Hardness

From the n. Y. Tribune.
Truth may be in the bottom of a
well, but a mans prosperity is certain
ly not in the bottom of other peoples
glasses. In illustration of this, We
have a tale narrated by Western re-
porter, who wandered, as he tells US,
the other night, intoa drinking saloon,
ia Dubuque, of course in quest of in
formation, and not to qnenen his thirst.
1t is hardly necessary 10 state that the
company were discussing the strife.
The miserable man who seemed to
lead the eioquence informed the mel
anchoIy crowd that personally he was
great sufferer in Consequence of the
hardness of the times aud the low rate
of wages. He was person of long ex-
perience, and he did not hesitate to say
that the times were the hardest he had
kno Sn i'm the whole course of his
chequered existence. He had actually
been obliged to give up his newspaper,
as an expressive luxury which the state
of his finances no lInger permitted him
to indulge in. s ngulariy enough, at
the close of his lainentaiion he asked
the crowd what they would take. In
u very few, moments this martyr tn low
wages or no wages had spent sixty
cents in charitable convi xalily, and it
Ia intimated in the narrative that he had
been dispensing liquid aims in the
same free-handed way since morning.
But rs to this matter, the exact figures
are wanting. rH fra
A little arithmetic will show that if
the Dubuque sufferer, upon whom the
times are so hard, spent every day the
sum of sixty cents for his own and 9TH
er peoples. alcoholic delectatiOn, the
cost of his great goed-fellowship would
be $2l9 per annum. This would cer-
tainly pay the rent of comfortable
house; it would go good way towards
and feeding family; and if
put at interest it would earn from
twelve TO fifteen dollars year. The
times must be very good indeed which |
will permit any working man to squan- !
der a considerable portion of his money
in treating the crowd. Whoever un-
dertakes to reconcile pecuniary ease !
with lavish expenditure which can
do him only harm, may be magnifi- |
cent theoretical economist, with very
clear views of the rights of labor, but |
he may be sure that his own misfor-
tunes will never be mended. The wis
est Secretary of Treasury will not be
able to hit upon policy which will
make this reveller rich. No act of Con-
gress will reach his case. He will have
to legislate little for himself.

BY HATTIE HAWTHORNE

Only waiting till the morning,
Brings another happy day;
2 Only waiting for the sunshine
All the night to chase away,
Little hands so meekly folded
Over hearts that know no care;
Waiting, with their sickles ready,
Homeward all their sheaves to bear.
Cleaners !-iittle cleaners are they,
Working in the field of life,
Only taking up the sunbeams,
Passing by the toll and strife.
Waiting, as eacfInew day brings them
Something bright to garner In;
Dreaming not that other harvests,
May be strewn with darkest sin.
Years speed onward, and the cleaners
Gather in the field once more;
Busily they ply their sickleS,
Waiting, for the harvest DER.
And amidst this harvest gathering,
Pause they sometimes by the way;
AS the shadows slowly lengthen;
Wish they for the close of day.
Homeward then they slowly turn them,
With their shields of golden grain,
But among the grain they've garnered,
Something that's akin to the pain.
Some dark sorrow, which they found not
In the field they use to roam;
And with weary hearts they wait them,
For the last great harvest-home.
Now upon the suns great dial,
Feebly move the hands of time,
But the cleaners still are working;
In the harvest's sunny cline.
Through the heat they've born the burden
Toiled the rugged path along
And the breeZes family watt them,
Snatches off the harvest song.
Fas adown the beaten pathway;
See their little fairy forms,
Working in the Masters vineyard,
For the Master bearing arms. -s
"Almost home" they feebly murmur,
Soon will hear the welcome 'icome,"
Slowly drop the rusty sickles;
And they've found the ''harvest home"

ADRIANoPLE, the point toward
which the Russian advance was direct
ed before the defeat at Plevna, is situ-
ated at the confluence of the Tundja,
and Maritza and the Arda rivers, and
is about one hundred and thirty-five
miles distant from Constantinople.
The population is variOusly estimated
from so, 600 to 10000, about half OF
whom are Turks, Sc, 600 Bulgsrians and
Greeks, and the remainder Jews snd
Armenlans. Il is virtually an open
town, for although the old part is sur
rounded by a wall, and contains cita-
del, these are now useless as defencee.
Recently more modern works have
been constructed by the Turks, but
only field, or at the most a provisional
type. The hollow roads, bitches and
garden walls without the city afford
great facilities for its defence, and the
spproaces msy be covered by troops
drawn up 80 as to rest upon the rivers,
but only in corps Of not less than 3O,00O
or 40, 600 men. The town, however, is
overlooked by heights on nearly every
side, and it would be hardly possible
to hold It against an army provided
with modern artillery. The first view
of the city Is described as being won
derfully beautiful and the country
around Is very lovely. Within, how
ever, the streets are narrow and irreg'
ular, the shelving roofs of many OF the
houses projecting so as to meet those
on the opposite side.

Future Seat Of Catholicism.

The impression prevails very extpn
sively that Palestine is to re-peOpleC
| with Isrslites who are now scattered
abroad in all lands and that large em.
igratiOn Of this people thitherward has
set in. SIme authorities declare even
that the population of Palestine to-
day Is double what it was ten years
ago. III this refers to the Jews, the
Rev. DIR. DeHass, who has been United
! States Consul at Jerusalem for seven or
eight years, writes to the Christian
Advocate to say that il may be true,
tut OF the entire population 1t is not
true. The country, he says, owing to
the heavy drain upon the able-bOdied
men to keep up the. Turkish army, is
rapidly being depopulsted and impOv-
erishe1. Deserted villages are every
where to be seen. There is less wealth
among the people, fewer canels, horses
and stock of all kinds than ten years
ago. Fruit and forest trees are alsc
disappearing. Carmel was almost
stripped of her timber for the Suez ca
nal, and as any fruit tree is taxed,
whether it bears or not, few are plant
ed. Everything there appears to be
finished. There is no progress, no i'm.
provement of any kind. There are
about thirty thousand Jews in all Pal
sstine. They are mostly from Russia,
and do not go there to work or devel-
Op the country, but to die. that they
may sleep with their fathers in holy
ground. They are generally aged and
poor, living on the charity of their peO-
pie in Europe and America. 1t will
require different class of emigrants
altogether, says the Doctor, to recover
this cursed land. 1t Is true there art
new houses going up outside the city
walls, but mostly small tenements,
built by committees for the benefit oil
their poor members. Work has been
done ON those dwellings by night to
avoid the hot sun during the day. and
not because there is such a demand for
houses as has been reported. The la
test programme for Palestine Is not
Jewish, but Papal occupancy. The
Jesuits of Europe, adds DIR. De Hass.
are dissatisfied with the condition Of
things in Italy, and there is a move
ment ON foot to make Jerusalem the
head of the Latin Church. Commits
sioners have been appointed to negoti-
ate for the territory; engineers have
surveyed railroad from Jerusalem to
Jaffa; money is being collected for the
erection ofa magnificent palace for His
Holiness on Mount Zion, to which the
wealth of the Vatican is TO be trans
ferred. There the successor to Plus
TX is to be installed, and the ..City OF
the Great King" is to be the future |
head of the Pontifical See. Russia,
may have something to say on the fu-
ture disposition of Palestine.

A correspondent of the Christian
Union tells of better way than
striking: ,.--...
"a gardener has worked on our
place ever since 1866, eleven years.
During that time his wages have never
been over 81 a day, and that only in
high times; it ranged from 81. .65 down;
the most of the time it was 81 25. His
wife had no income, and did no work
except to take care of the children and
the house, and he had no income but
but his wages. But during that time
he kept his wife and children comfort
ably, fed them well, so that they were
always healthy, and dressed them SO
that they went to day and Sunday
school, always neatly dressed; kept a
COW; and saved out of his earnings
enough to buy two lots, and build q
house and stable. He saved the
$500 with which he did this in the
first eight years. do not know that
he has saved anything during the
last three years. But he never drank
or used tobacco. He was Protestant
lrishman. During the same time we
had a coachman who had from - to
81 so a day; drank and smoked; owed
every body; never saved cent; and,
finally. when he left, had to borrow
money to get out OF town." George
Ellington in the Brooklyn Eagle tells
what single man did one day in New
York with one dollar. He got shave,
breakfast, a paper collar, q pack of Gig
arettes, attended a concert, had lunch,
beer, dinner for two, consisting of soup,
fish, macaroni with cheese, beefsteak,
apples and peanuts, treated himself
and friend to u glass of beer, got lodg-
ings for the night, and cup of coffee
In the morning.

The political situation in Europe is at pres
ent almost as interesting as the military move
ments Of the two contending armies. Fresh
speculations have arisen owing to the recent
unexpected victory of the Turks at Plevna,
and the hesitancy shown by the other great
Powers in interfering only adds to the con-
lectures as to what the next move on. the
political chess-board will be. There is no
doubt but that the recent Russian reverses
have considerably relieved the embarrassment
of the British Ministry, and have caused it to
halt in its preparations And the quiescent
and Indifferent attitude which it is now as
suming has evidently afforded pretext for
Austria declining to give her consent to Rus
sia's occupation of Servia. The Turkish sue
cesses have in the same way upset the calcu-
lations Of Prince Bismarck, and have checked
him in his intrigues with Russia and Austria,
30 that TO whichever quarter We turn uncer-
tainty seems to prevail. Looking at the mill
tary position Of affairs, the outlook is equally
problematic. Every step which the Russian
army takes removes each portion of it farther
from the possibility of mutual support. Cen
eral Gourko has been forced to retire to the
Balkan passes before the advance of Suleiman
Pasha, while the presence of Mehemet Ali
near Tirnova has inspired the Turks with
fresh enthusiasm. 1t used to be said that the
Russians had always two Generals on whom
they could depend-Janusry and February.
1r1..s II l.:-lxl
to be bridged over their arrival will be the
most severe on the troops, and the fast-in-
creasing sickness in the camps is beginning to
tell heavily upon them. There has, undoubt-
edly, been mistake on the part of the Grand
Duke Nicholas in forcing the passes OF the
Balkans and occupying strategic points In
Roumelia before the Bulgarian fortresses
were subdued. But his recent hard expert
ence has taught him lesson, and 1t Is not
probable that such an error will be repeated.

BALLOT. BOX SUFFERS.
Position Of Ohio Democrats on
the Registration LAW

Cleveland Correspondence n. Y. Times
As was to have been expected, the Demo
Gratis of Ohio ale not satisfied with the plat
form which WAS ado ted by their political op-
ponents in this city on Wednesday last Head
ed by that distinguished citizen, Mi. John &.
Thompson, Sergeant at Arms of the last Ma
tional H use of Representatives, and Chair
man of their Central Committee, they declare
that the Republicans have acted with cow
ardice regarding the financial question, that
their labor plank is piece of arrant dema
sogism, and that their endorsement of the
National Administration was distasteful to
more than one-half of the delegates in the
| Convention. This is about the sum total of
| the fault which Mr. Thompson and his
| friends have up to this time been able to find
with the action of their old enemies. While
they make these charges in public, however,
they admit privately that the Republican
platform is, all things considered, an exceed
ingly strong one; and there is no doubt that
in the end they will abandon their present at
titude, cease making the wild charges re
ferred to, ape their fellow-Democrats in the
State of New York, and fight the campaign
upon the theory that President Hayes was
fraudulently inaugurated, and that the Amer
lean people cannot afford to stand idly by and
see fraud first triumphant in American poll
lies" While this is their programme, how
ever, while from every cross road stump in
Ohio they are prating about political corrup
tion and the purity of the ballot, they have at
the same time the hardihood to endorse the
following resolution, which was adopted in
their platform at the Columbus convention:
" Seventh-The registry law framed by the
last Legislature is burdensome and expensive,
and discriminates unjustly against the poorer
classes of voters, and we therefore demand its
repeal
The Democrats of the country have never
been noted for desire to maintain the purity
of the ballot-box. Where they could not
succeed fairly, they were always willing to
purchase victory by dishonorable means. In
the South, by the preparation of cruelties the
most inhuman and outrages without name,
they have succeeded only too well in over
coming Republican majorities. In the North,
they have won by fraud when violence was
of no avail. Privately, in both the North and
the South, the disrepptable leaders of the De-
mocracy have not been backward in boasting
of the electioneering crimes which they insti-
gated or committed. The Democrats of Ohio |
have now gone one step further than their
brethren in any part of the Union, and public |
ly, in a platform upon which they profess
their willingness to stand or fall, they boldly |
demand the repeal of law which was advo-
Gated by every good citizen of the State and
which was passed, not for the benefit of. any
one party, but for the protection of every
honest voter in the Commonwealth. ai'' I

OHIo's coal field. says an eminent
geologist, Is 9 district one hundred
miles square, including the counties OF
Athens, Perry and Hooking. In hfty
years 1t will probably equal Staford-
shire or any district in the world. The
district has twenty-five feet of solid
coal In five seams. The great vein Is
in places twelve feet thick. and mo-
where less than six feet. Mingled
among the coal beds are inexhaustable
beds Of iron. The thickest is i've feet
deep at the outcrop; the thinnest, in
places, sinks to six inehess But the
thickness Of neither seam Is quite per
sistent; there are sswaves'' from time
to time, which narrow the seam. 1he
coal, on the contrary, may be said TO
run from hill to hill with perfect uni-
fomity. Limestone Is also present In
any desired quantity.
