number Of receipts for excise fees to

heretofore been repudiated, but in the

point that such receipts were a bar to re,

THE QUESTION OF THE FUTURE.


In the distance ! see the form Of social.
ism looming on our horizon. NV own
opinion is that in all countries this is the
coming ''irrepresible conflict" For many
centuries ever and anon the Questions
with which socialism deals have been
started by individuals. On account Of
other more pressing matters connected
wlthGoyernment and society in its various
phases, hitherto it has not been able 10
yet the ear OF the multitude. But The mn.
ttons are rapidly approaching a point
where it will naturally come to the front
My own impression Is that, while there
may be less danger Of explosion in the
shape OF popular instruction among
us than in monarchical countries.
II is just here that the discus.
sion Is most likely to be fully cor.
Quoted and make itself felt in political
affairs. l need scarcely say that l have no
sympathy with any OF the crude and des-
truCtive theories OF socialism. They are
evil in the extreme. Nevertheless II has a
CasG to present and we also which must
be heard. It is too much to assume that
society, in Its various forms, is in no re.
spect capable Of Improvement as to its or.
ganimtion. II we are q wise people we
will seek to point out what changes can
judiciously be made andproceed 70 make
them. Then when the storm comes we
will be like a ship which has been made
for the gale and which will be able
TO outride Its tlerceness, D. W. +.

The Desert OF Colorado.
San francisco Arxonaut.


For what purpose the Colorado des-
crt was made il 6ne of those myster-
les which have so far proved past find
ing ontxso utterly barren, SO appar-
emily worthless, so dreary and desc.
late, so scorched with a blazing sun,
so blistered with burning winds. The
rocky hills that bound it are more for
bidding than the dreary desolation Of
the sandy plains The hills are abso-
lutely destitute Of verdure- -treeless,
soiIless, colorless. Through the cen
ter Of the plain, and parallel With the
railroad, runs q mountain range Of
shifting sand, like SHOWS piled mp in
banks, drifting AMI moving with the
winds. The plain is not entirely des-
titute Of vegetation, but the yegeta
tion is as worthless as the sand in
which it grows. There runs midway
between San Bernardinz and Yuma
one small, beautiful stream Of clear
sweet water, properly named the
"Whitewater," but along its pebbIy
margin there grows 10 flower, shrub nor
tree. This beautiful stream in the des-
ert suggests the irreverent reflection
that this part of creation is a badly
planned and badly executed work, re-
fiecting upon the Divine Mechanic
who spake it into existence. The
mountains should have been othed
in primal forests; the plains should
have been grassy meadows. Along
the hillsides should he leaping cas-
cades of sparkling water; brooks
winding amid flowers and grassy
banks; fruitful land, where fat kline,
lowing herds, hleating focks ard
singing birds, mingling their voices
with the thanksgiving Of well-fed ha-
nanity, should be constant psalm Of
ad1ration 10 Him who must ever lack

The path of duty in this world is
the road to salvation in the next.
Happy is he who fears God in the
prime Of his life.
Who is powerful? He who can
control his passions Who is rich2
He who is contented with what he
has.
Charity is the salt of riches.
Blessed be he who gives TO the
poor, albeit only penny; doubly
blessed be he who adds kind words to
his gift. Say not, because thou canst
not do everything, Il will do nothing.n
Associate not with the wicked men,
even if thou canst learn from him.
He who denies his guilt doubles his
guilt.
This is the penalty Of the liar: he is
not believed when he tells the truth.
It is sin to deceive thy fellow
man, be he Jew or Gentle.
Be the first to hold out the hand Of
peace.
Prayer without devotion is like
body without soul
Improve thyself, then try 10 i'm

Beautiful are the admonitions of
him whose life accords with his teach
ings.
The wicked, whilst alive. is Ike
dead; the righteous after death is still
alive Excelsior.

Annexation sentiment in canada.

y correspondent of the Nashua 1tl-
egropa, writing from Montreal, SAYS
that at NO time has the sentiment in
favor of the annexation Of the Domin-
ion to the United States has been as
strong as it is at the present time
The movement, as the. writer calls it,
is quiet but significant 1t is not the
result of any fresh admiration for the
United States on the part Of Canada,
but the necessity of the situation The
fact that the dollar OF the United
States has come to be as good as that
Of any other nation is one of tha
causes attributed for the change of
sentiment. Again, thoughtful men in
Canada see that the tariff of the Uni
ted States may be reduced, while the
increasing debt of Canada and its top
heavy Government will render it inn
possible for her Parliament to reduce
duties or other taxes. Every year the
necessity of having free admission to
the markets of the United States is
impressed upon the people Of Canada.
They hoped 10 obtain this by the means
of reciprocity treaty. but all hopes
in that direction have faded out. The
annexation sentiment is found almost
exclusively in business circles. As
rule the politicians are opposed to it.
Indeed, there is no real sentiment in
favor of annexation which does not
have its origin in business necessity.

Mason was an unsuccessful grocer
in Littlebridge, Michigan. He had
been Methodist, but bankruptcy in
business led him to carelessness about
religion. although be was exceedingly
superstitious He had read Of the
devil buying souls, and made up his
mind that, for satisfactory price, he
would sell his own. He wrote out a
formal offer, the purport of which was
that be was to be given twenty years
of wealth and then his soul was to go
into the devils possession. This doc
ament be suspended over fire, rourd
which he performed incantations of
bis own invention. Although several
weeks have elapsed he has not gained
wealth, nor received any intimation
that the bargain has been closed.

Hopeful Prospects.
THE REASON WHY.


Under the caption of the Rising Tide the
New York Public startes with the two fol-
lowing propositions:
81. This country is sgrowing in population
at the rate of nearly 80 per cent. in a de-
cade, and in wealth and volume of business
at the rate of more than 100 per cent. in a
decade.
IL. The country is now surely recover
ing from the most severe prostration Of in
dustry and commerce ever known in its
history"
The first proposition is fortified by the
opinion of Professor Elliott, of the bureau
OF STATISTICS, in his paper on the growth OF
population, who, after assuming loss OF
3,lG0,000 in population in various ways in
consequence Of the war, predicted that the
population of the United States would in
crease to 50,S5S, 900 in 1880. The ordinary
progress of population with us is about 33
per cent. for each decade. As it may safely
be set down at these figures in future esti-
mates-unless decreased by potent disturb
| ing causes-the population in 1890, ac-
cording to the computation of Prof. Elliott,
may be put at about 67,000,000, and in
| 1900 at about 90,000000 With this steady
rate of increase the recovery from financial
pancs, though sometimes slOw-as, tUr In-
stance, from the panic of lS73--yet the
danger Of relapse, as sometimes occuro
is lessened thereby, inasmuch as depres
sion in all branches of trade and losses by
speculation force upon all classes economics
to which they would not otherwise resort
and in the meanwhile, unlike the olde,
countries of Europe, where the increase o
population is either very slow or more thar
offset by emigration, the United State
have the advantage not only of the natura
increase, but of an important annual addi
ton to it from immigration.
Smyrna times., 1879-07-23

Production OF WEALTH.-A writer in
the North American Rerieo for May predicted
the ruin of the United States, if England
ould adopt retaliatory tariff. In other
words if England, in order to protect home
agrIculturists, should exclude American
products, we should have so much grain,
beef, fruit &C., that we should all starve!
In the June number of the RevieO, Bonamy
Price takes directly opposite view. He
says, in order to end the commercial de.
preston: "Reverse the process which
created it. Instead of over-consuming,
make more wealth. Produce much, with
earnestness and continuance of work, re.
storing the consumption that does and
must 30 on with new wealth-making an
| addition to it by saving. The savings will
be capital instruments for increased pro-
duction, and for accumulatng a larger
stock of wealth to be divided over the
whole people. This enlarged stock will
strike at the heart of the depression, as has
been so manifestly shown 10y the effects on
commercial stock of the American people
of the grand addition made to its wealth
by the abundance of its harvest. That was
a production of more, effected by the hand
of Providence, but setting up a noble
example for imitation and proclaiming the
great economical truth that to make
much all round is the root of all pros
perity."
