THURMAN ON GENERALIZATION.

In his late speech at Columbus, Ohio,
Senator Thurman said:
1t is not, therefore, a fear of secession
or of the re-establishment of slavery
that prompts the Radical leaders to
degrade and debase the States. The
cause lies far deeper than that. 1t
grows out of the long and never ending
effort of consolidated capital, seeking
special privileges by means of legisla-
ton; privileges that the mass Of the
people do not enjoy. The holder of
government bonds desires strong ma
! ti0nal government in the belief that
such government would give greater
security and value to his bonds.
The mammoth railroad corporation,
running through many States, feels
restive under what it considers the
annoyances of State legislation. 1t
would greatly prefer to Stale charters
or State licenses a national charter rem
dering it independent of the States.
The National Bank interest with its
two thousand aud odd banks, des-
tined, if the system continues, to be
tripled or quadrupled in number in no
long period of time, looks with COM
placency on the legislation of Con-
gress that has destroyed the banking
institutions of the States and given to
the national system a monopoly of the
issue and profits of bank paper money.
The high tariff protectionists and the
seekers of subsidies alike desire gov
ernment of almost unlimited power to
crafty their wishes and foster their
schemes. In a word, almost or quite
every form of concentrated wealth, ex-
cept real estate, desires by construc-
tion or otherwise to add new powers
tn fh1 av0
possessed by the National Government.
Do not understand me as saying that
every man of wealth desires the anni-
hilation of the State governments or
their practical overthrow. There are
thousands upon thousands of such men
who are intelligent enough to see that
the preservation Of the rights of the
States is essential to the maintenance
of freedom and prosperity, and is one
of the greatest safeguards that can be
conceived of the Union itself. But on
the other hand fear that there are
thousands and tens of thousands of
men in this country who would prefer
even limited monarchy to the form
of government nnder which we live.
They do not believe in the rule of the
people; they deE not believe in univer-
sal suffrage; they do not believe in the
rights of the States; but they do be-
lieve in strong centralized govern
ment, backed by a standing army and
presided over or ruled by chief mag
lstrate chosen for long term or even
for life. They are too sagacious to ex-
pect their hopes to be speedily realized.
They know that a government like
ours can not be subverted in a day,
but they also know that, even if its
form be left untouched, its essential
principles may be day by day weak |
ened until in the end it shall be in |
substance and in practice the consoli-
dated government they desire. Hence
they favor and applaud every usurpa-
ton of Congress and the President, and
regard with satisfaction every thing
that tends to weaken or destroy the
rights of the States.

FEATs IN MID AIR.
An Amateur Acrobat ON u Tight Rope
Across PaSsnlc Falls.
New York SUM-

lANSW OiN sum-
Some weeks ago "Harry" Leslie
walked across the chasm under the
Passiac Falls in Patterson on tight
rope. Geo. w. Dobbs, an amateur
acrobat of Paterson, whose father, now
dead, was once City Marshall, imme-
diately advertised that he would do all
that Leslie did, and more too. Dobbs
kept his WORD, and surprised the Pat
ersonians. Then Dobbs advertised an
other performance Of the kind that was
to be yet more startling, ON September
4. This was postponed on account of
stormy weather until yesterday, when
a great throng gathered at the falls,
many having come from long dis
tances, to witness Dobbs' performance.
There were more free spectators on the
hills than paying ones In the enclosure
A rope about an inch and a half In
diameter was stretched from bank to
bank below the falls, being fastened to
two trees 224 feet apart. The water
foamed and eddied 20 feet below,
sharp cornered bowlders showing them
selves a little below the surface. After
some preliminary performances by two
or three acrobats, Dobbs, dressed in
tights and carrying thirty-six pound
balancing pole, started across the
chasm. He seemed perfectly cool, and
his pace was almost run. Then he
crossed back, walking backward on
the rope. Next he opened bottle of
wine, poured out several glasses for
spectators, and, going to the centre of
the rope, poured tho remainder of the
wine into glass, drank to those on
shore, who swallowed their wine at
the same time. AS Dobbs threw the
empty bottle high into the air sharp
avr1
frightened cry among the spectators,
who thought the rope had snapped
But the flying bottle was
to pieces, and then it was
seen that the report came from gun
in the hands of Christian Rinehardt,
who stood on the shore. Dobbs threw
twelve glass balls into the air, and
Rinehardt shattered them all, in ac-
with fifty dollar wager.
DObbs had advertised to carry a
old boy across on his back,
bnt the city authorities forbade the act
and Dobbs obeyed them, although the
chosen boy cried to go. Dobbs had ar
ranged to walk across in sack and
with peach baskets on his feet, but
some of the spectators interfered, and
persuaded Dobbs' friends to take the
sack and baskets away. Then Dobbs
PuI 9 ohssAA Aoop Ofef his ankleS,
which prevented him from stepping
more than few inches, and walked
across and back with that, throwing
cakes at the ladies on shore. Feats by
the other gymnasts followed, one called
the 'iron-jawed MANI being pulled
across the river on rope stretched
over from Morris Mountain, while he
supported himself by his teeth, and
fred revolvers, waved flags, and threw
glass balls for Rinehardt to shoot at.
Later in the afternoon Dobbs re-
peated his performances, and in the
evening there was a flying trapeze act,
N which a performer named "Mat''
Loxley, in taking sixty feet leap,
missed his aim and fell among the
spectators, breaking his arm and dis
coating his jaw. That ended the per-
ormance.

The English poet laureate has paid n
substantial penalty to fame. He has
formally rejected an estate of two
thousand a year, possession OF which
is conditional on his change of namc
from Tennyson to Turner. His brother
some years ago came into ownership
by inheritance of the property, and
willingly changed his name for the
sake of the income and many readers
who have admired the sonnets OF the
Rev. Charles Turner are unaware that
the author was brother to the bard
who sang the idyls of tho King. ue
died in March last, his wife followed
him to the grave in April, and tho
property fell to the laureate, saddled
with the stipulation that he should
forswear Tennyson for Turner. He has
refused to surrender name good for
a ffty-year Immortality for obscurity
and two thousand II year. But Alfred
can afford to be magnanimous. His
works bring him in, one year with an
other, three thousand pounds per an
mum, and has thousand besides out
OF landed property purchased with the
savings OF his muse. Then he is very
thrifty, his habits Of living being as
simple az those of Carlyle. Both the
| poet and the proser consume enormous
quantities of tobacco, the vehicle being
plain clay pipe. Tennyson is said to
be of a penurious bent, and those who
declare this of him affirm that the sac
rifice he has just made for his literary
| reputation must have cost him very
dear.
