LIFE.
By eAsKELL.

Like flowing river 10 far distant sea,
Life's moving panorama seems to be;
Dissolving vistss, isles and verdAnt shore,
Each like 10 esch, yet different than
before.
From feeble fount in e'er increasing
str am,
Life's channel widens, though oft like 9
dream,
In mszy labyrinth Of doubt, of woe,
DER widespread DEF erts doth its water
flow;
Anon through smiling fields. dark dell's
recess,
mid frownInR mountains, onward still
doth pres;
Ne staV to time, no lingering by the way;
Whate'er our in lolence, Whate'ar we
say;
But onl still onl Until at length we see,
Time fade away into eternity

The rivalry between electricity and coal
gas for illuminating purposes is having
the effect TO bring out capabilities OF coal
gas that were not heretofore suspected; and
the stride of invention and improvement
on the part OF the one is kept pace with by
the other The latest improvement IN the
application Of coal gas we have seen IS call
cd the "Mackenzie.Rappleye Light" one
of which is now on exhibition IN the store
OF w. II. Hull in this city. The pecullari-
ty that at once strikes one Is that It Is o
white light, like the electric, yet softer and
more steady, and a light by which colors
can be as readily distinguished as by the
electric light. Then it claims to give twice
the amount of light from given quantity
OF gas that can be produced by the ordln.
airy burner, thus beng also an economical
arrangement. The slight" Is yet IN an ex-
perlmen,al state, but If 1t comes up to an.
ucpation /, will 60 far towards settling the
question of superiority between gas and
electric lighting.

ANTI-MON0POLY.

We copy, on ar inside page, another OF
Nh Lynch's communications to the Chlca.
60 Jou,mal on the subject of combinations
to defeat open competition IN prices. One
of the best illustrations of the evil he Is
waging war on Is found III the present live
stock pool at Chicago. All the live stock
going to market through that city must
pass through the Union Stock Yards, sub
hitting to whatever charges that monopoly
may have the conscience 10 impose, after
which the owner naturally imagines he has
right to see the different railroads and
make the best terms he can for shipment
east. Not sol The only man he can see
is Commissioner Fink or his agent, and by
him he is told by Whist route he will be
permitted TO send his stock east and what
rates he must pay
1t is true, this pool arrangement at the
mead of which M. Fink so consplcuously

Statutes of Illinois, but, rs 1t is made the

never do it, the law might as well be erased
from our statutes The law Mr.. Lynch
proposes would make it everybody's bust
nl-s, and the summary process OF grand
Jury indictment would immensely hasten
..nd simplify matters.
Mr.. Lynch's law, no doubt, could also be
made to meet the case of the dastardly
combinatlon now forming to defeat the
highly commendable enterprise of certain
Chicago and other parties to supply the
East with cheap beef 10y slaughterlng at
re West and shipping to eastern cities in
refrigerator cars This undertaking, which
would have saved millions year to the
East in the cost Of fresh meat, happens to
interfere with the plans Of the Vanderbilts,
Jay Goulds, and other railroad kings to
fleece the western stock growers in sending
their stock TO market, and the "kings" have
combined to crush the business. Not find.
ing /, practicable to do so by charging ex.
tortlonste rates on refrigerator cars, they
have conceived the projec. Of setting up q

Therefore, import these foreign blowers,
and pay them on this side the water from
two and a half to three times the amount
that they earn in their own country, and
make up the difference in wages by max
ing every man that buys or uses bottle
pay a tax. Remember that the vast ma
iorl.y OF the blowers are foreigners. Re-
member, tov, that in spite Of this heavy
tax, many Of the bottle works are i',c, and
that we are paying all this extra cost, and
benefitng no one in particular.
If the bottles we're all made abroad, the
extra number of men who would find EN-.
ployment in shipping and handling them,
would be considerable setott against the

Il Is chiefly In the protected industries
