people scattered abroad In VI ne provinces
OF thy kingdom, and their laws are diverse
from all poople, therefore it is not for tho

enough, at this very time, when the Jews
were dwelling in captivity, their foremost
prophet, JEREMIAH, was sending them tho
nissive Servo tho King Of Babylon and

and pray unto the Lord for 1t, for in the

truth is that from the time of AHAsUERUS
~ the present day the counsel hero given to
the Hebrews has almost always regulated
their course of action whenever rulers Or
nations have been tolerant enough to re-
cngnizc them M citizens. Nor will 1t on

nice in an hour when European Congress

20 their own astonishmcnt, secured plu-
rality. The same Journal states that tho
KEARNEY ticket received n great dcai OF
quiet support from well-to-do merchants
and taxpayers. who had lost all faith In the
old political organizations and the party
hacks controlling them. According to tho
Bulletin, there was general rally To the
KrARvEY ticket on the part Of every one
who had been swindcd by stock operations.
In u word, the conviction was widespread
that the workingmen, Mt worst, meant only
~ divide and take what did not belong to
them by and by, whereas the mUnOpOlists
were doing 1t every day.
In Wow Of all the inrormation before ue,
we must conclude that the relative merit OF
indiVidualism and Of communion did not
come before the people Of California at the
late election. The success of tho KEARNEY
movement must bo regarded not 80 much as
n deliberate step toward social roconstruc-
ton as a passionate revolt against invet-
crate and shameful political abuses. And
the fact that the labor party will have only
plurality in the Convention may probably
be accepted as IL guarantee that sound and
moderate counsels will control its action.

Low that the pinch Of hard times has
come. the folly Of keeping up appearances by u
SNOWY and costly style Of living not warranted
by ones income Is almost daily illustrated. In
one recent instance a man had been working
for quarter of II century upon u salary ample
for all thu necessities and comforts Of life.
With common prudence he would have found
himself at the end Of the twenty-nv years with
snug home over his head. and handsome
reserve fund in the savings bank. But he has
lived from hand to mouth. squandering his
money in a foolish effort TO make as great
show rs his richer neighbors. When the rainy
day comes. waking up at last to a sense OF his
folly. he kills himself in Il paroxysm Of terror
and despair. leaving his family homeless and
penniless. 1t lie II very old story. and its teach
ing Is as plain as 1t il UNDECIDED.

The Elevated Railroads Effect.

The Metropolitan Railway has now been
sufficiently long in operation to permit of
fair estimate of its probable effects on the
value of property situated on the line OF the
road.
Heretofore. Sixth avenue property has
been much sought after both for business
and dwelling purposes 10y very desirable
class Of tenants. and tho upper part of the
avenue Is built up with handsome apartment
houses, renting at high prices.
While the Elevated Railway may not per-
ceptibly diminish the Sixth avenue retail
trade though many shopkcepers, dealers in
fancy goods, keep their doors shut ON account
ofdust and noise, even In this warm weather,
it Will unquestionably dcpreciatc the value
Of all Sixth avenue property for dwelling or
apartment purposes In fact, 1t has already
had that effect. No sitting or sleeping room
is desirable with trains running past the
windows from live in the morning TIL twelve
at night, more especially as windows must
be kept closed the greater part Of the time
because of steam, smoke, and noise
As leases expire, tenants are likely TO
move away, and landlords. as a general
thing, will not be ablc to let their apart
mcnts to the same class Of people as before
Those who may be willing to forcgo pri-
vacy and quiet will demand as an induce
ment very important concessions in the
way Of rent. How great will be the ulti-
mate injury to property along the line OF
the road remains yet to be seen.
In Third street, the terrible nuisance Gre
atcd by the din OF rumbling trains has
driven away half the occupants Of second
story front rooms, while those who still re-
main drnouncc the Elevated road in lam
guagc more vigorous than choice. What
has taken place on the west side will soon
tako place ON the eaet side. Third avenue

injurously affected, though, perhaps, not TO
SO great an extent.
Bat those who reside in the upper part Of
the city, and daily travel to and froby steam,
arc enthusiastic in their praise Of cc-
waited roads; they contend that while these
roads may. to certain extent, depreciate
property along the line Of the route. they

Republicans who substantially admit that
Mr.. HAYES was not lawfully elected Prcsi-
dent are in the habit Of saying, M " In cx-
tanuation Of the fraud by which he acquired
his Office, well, at all events, civil service
reform has been promoted under his adj
minstraton.'
Let MS SEQ what Republican testimony Is
ON that subject. Let IA look into the letters,

Mr.. DENNIS Of Florida produced before the

In the first of these after having written

himself explains tn us the great services he
performed for Mr.. HAYES in Florida. He
says the first time he called on that gentle
man. Mr. HAYES spoke OF having heard OF
him through Mr.. MOVES and Mr.. CHANDLER,
and remarked that he was one OF the few
mon the Administration could afford to
take care of.
Mr.. HAYES had heard Of him, had heard Of
his services In causing the vote Of Florida
20 be returned for him. and recognized those
services as emitting Mr.. DENNIS to an APP
continent. He considered that Mr. DENNIS

That Anderson would have referred 10 such

thousands OF people who have taken refuge
