AMERICANS AS GRuMpLERs.-All thoughtful
American citizens will agree that the American
owe Herbert Spencer n debt of gratitude for
calling especial attention 10 their chief weakness
lie says, and undoubtedly says it truly, that
the average American is easy going a. does not
grumble enough. He puts up with all manner
of imposiions rather than make fuss. He
allows his tailor TO palm off on him an i'll fitting
suit, his grocer TO sell him very foor Rio Coffee for
Old Government Java, his milkmau to give him
chalk and water for pure country milk, and his
wine merchant to cheat him with q spurious
article of wine for which he pays the price of
tho very best French brands. He pays big tax
es and gets in return dirty treets. inefficient
water supply and rascally government generally.
He votes his party ticket, made up by corrupt
bosses and often composed Of men # such dis.
graceful private character that he would not be
seen in their company in the day time.
And he submits TO all these things with his
eyes wide open to the fact that he is being win
died both in public and private. But he hates
to make n disturbance. On the whole, he is
disposed to look upon the people who insist on
their rights as troublesome, dsagreeable and
even cranky. lie loves peace, and while admit
ing that things nre not as they should be, is
disposed to submit because he dosen't see what
he can do to remedy the matter without taking
a great deal more trouble than he cares to- and
so the political boss leads him by the nose and
the selfish and dishonest tradesman gets the
better of him in MANI o deal.
1t is quite true that grumblers are not the
pleasantest peoplein the world. But the world
owes more to its grumblers than TO almost any
other class. In fact, about oil the progress in
this wor has been made by'a class Of grumblers
who have insisted upon what they paid for,
whether in public or in private. The dishonest
tradesman dosen't like the grumbler, of course ;
neither does the political boss, for he makes
them both no end of trouble but when he in.
sisis on having his own rights. he is doing
something to make the world more tolerable
place of residence for everybody. And ifMr
Spencer has held the mirror up to nature so
that our PEOPLE may see them, they will do we'll
to profit by his suggestion and grumble long and
loud, until both dishonest tradesmen and polit-
ical bosses ore tho most uncomfortable class of
people in the world.-Phiiadelphia Times.

por los fueros de los jueces legos.
No nos hemos equivocado; mas aun;

ha preocupado al referido periodico, SO
ajusta perfectamente q las presoripcio-

"a ell lector por ell siguients verldico re.

Hallabase dicho senior Juez instru-
yendo causa por desacato. Durante

sentarse para esta Capital, y en- los
custro dias que duro su ausencia parece
que el Jaez Municipal que, por 10 visto,

como quos Deus vu1t perdere, pyius de.

SO nos comunica, no es exacto, estamos
