To such pass have affairs come at last
that one of three things Is inevitable. The
government must extend over them the
strong arm of the laws, or fear the Bur
lingamc treaty into shreds and arrange for
the Mongolian's eaccable removal from the
country, or, else the laboring classes of the
Pacific slope will attempt their utter eYter-
mination. In view Of the temper of our
people, then, the most humane thing that
could be done would be to remove them
from our midst, cffcctually close our ports,
and sternly deny them future admittance
Better this, better almost anything, than

That, during the lust year, our lives have

Aas so afflicted some portions Of the land
We have gathered bountiful crops in peace

sources of prosperity, have been unintcr-
gupted; and we continue to hold and enjoy
= free government, founded on the school,

agency we owe large share of our civil
za,ion and of our national prosperity.
While we give thanks, we should not for

ture as will enable us to transmit TO our
Josterity, unimpaircd, the blessings which
We enjoy.

FACT VERSUS THEORY, - On August .,

stock sold at 96ll-- iluctuation of 11A
per cent. in A. days. 10000 shares Of this
stock bought at 81 on a margin OF per
cent. required an actual capital of $4,000,
The same stock sold at the advanced price,
964 showed u profit Of Sl,l75 per 100
shares, or 113i per cent. on the stock. On
the whole 10000 shares the actual profit
was $ll7,5O0 or 1l4 times the capital used

often theorize about supposable cases. The
above are hard facts shown by the official

able to invest singly the $4,000 necessary
to reap such fabulous profits as were gained
by the above transaction, but Messrs. Law

showing how large or small sums may be

BY this system large profits are made in

TIE GREAT MERCHANT ALIVE
AND DEAD.

The stealing Of \. T. Stewards dead and
partially decomposed body from its vault
in New York cemetery, has led some Of
our exchanges into a discussion Of the
merits and dement's Of that gentleman dur
ing his somewhat heightened and wonder
fully prosperous lifetime. In very Just
criticism Of his character the Missouri
Republican gives him credit for business
talent industry and energy no less wonder
full than his marvellous success in bust
ness. He died worth Slo,0O0OO0.
But contemplating Mr.. Stewart ap.trt from
his success as a business man, We find little
in his character to admire, or to commend
the young men of the country to strive to
initiate. No negro slave that ever toled in
the rice fields of Alabama, or the cotton
fields of South Carolina, worked harder or
devoted more hours to his work than Alex
andcr 7. Stewart He had, as the Republi-
can declares, no leisure for recreation. He
felt that he could not afford to enjoy him
self although the possessor of I'M
told millions. In early and mid
die life his struggle was to make
money. In his old age the struggle
was quite as hard to take care of it. He
did not own his money. His money own
ed him, and used him as its slave. 1t is
doubtful, whether he ever had o genuine
holiday after he emerged from his state of
adolescence. He out grew all taste for holi-
days, if he ever had any, and became sim
ply great moncy-machine sort Of hu-
man mint, grinding ont dollars day and
night, and finding his supreme delight in
the mere process of production. So he be-

lie was envicd by thousands of persons far
happier than himself; for is not poverty,
according to the worlds standard, the
greatest Of curses, and riches the greatest of

deal Of good with his wealth while living;
but beyond the building of few tenement
houses we are not aware that he did any

no great school, no great gallery Of art,
no great fund for the worthy poor owes its
