Tens of thousands of immigrants

Tens of thousands of immigrants
pass through st. Paul, Mimi, and
it has done for that city what is
beginning to appear in the south.
The official building record shows
$8,47O,000 expended upon new
buildings in St. Paul during the
summer season. The amount will
be increased to $1I, 1880 when
the buildings now in progress are
completed. The record shows over
$500 residences built, costing 81,
100000. Three hundred and forty
three business blocks, costing over
81, 100000, are now in progress of
completion. Among the buildings
started are a million dollar hotel,
one business block to cost over
$4,000 and four others costing
over 100000 each. These are fab
ulous figures. The circumstances
that made them are beginning
to operate south. If we are wise
we will put our shoulders to the
wheel

Some humane paragrapher writes;
"Think of the poor Mormons with

der and mudder, too"

OF cotton seed oil, comparatively
unknown ten years ago, over $780,

this industry, which promises to be-

There are more business failures
reported this year than last. But
the causes of the increase are much
the same as those of the increase in
fatal accidents, at which people are
inclined to wonder. 1t should be
remembered that there are more
people this year than last, that
wealth has accumulated, that bust
ness has enlarged, and above all,
that facilities for gathering infor-
of failures have been great
ly improved.

Mesala gave 100000 for the
house Of Anthony. Seneca, ~hc
was just plain philosopher, was
worth $120,O00,000. Tiberius left
property of nearly 100000, 900.
Cesar and Marc Antony both own
ed wonderful fortunes. Why, they
talk about mans falling in New
York for a million dollars as if it
were big thing. Caesar, before he
entered any Office, when he was a
young gentleman in private life,
owned 100000, and he purchased
the friendship of Quetor for So
100000. Marc Antony owed ST.
500,00 on the Ides of March, and
paid it before the Kalends of March.
This was nothing; he squandered
$720,O00,000 of public money. And
these fellows lived well. Esopus,
who was play actor, paid $400, 900
for a single dish. Caligula spent
100000 on supper. Their wines
were often kept for two ages, and
some of them were sold for twenty
dollars an ounce. Dishes were
made with gold and silver, set with
precious stones. The beds of Hell
igabulus were of solid silver, his
table and plates we're gold, and his
mattresses, covered with carpets of
cloth and gold, were stuffed with
the down from under the wing OF
the partridge. 1t took $4,000
year to keep the dignity of Roman
senator, and some of them spent
$5,o00000 a year. And yet we
talk about the extravaganza of mod
ern times.

We have over 10000 miles of
railroad in operation. They are
capitalized, cost and water, at ten
billions of dollars. Their income
is many times greater than that OF
the United States government, for
their power of taxation is greater
and swifter than the governments.
They employ standing army
greater than any European power,
and have their hands on the throat
of the commerce of the continent.
They are organized and combined
10 rapid and effective action be-
You'd anythingtthe government can
accomplish. They enter into every
operation of civilization-its fnan-
ces, legislation, courts, society,
They influence elections, dictate
supreme court appointments, have
their agents behind the speakers
chairs of congress and legislatures.
and have cast their shadows across
the threshold of the white house.
Statesmen and patriots sit dumb
founded in the presence of this
power and the problem of its regu-
lation Like the genius in the
eastern fable, America has con-
structed a monster it cannot control,
and that threatens to control ats
creator. We have, with fifty mil
lions populations, more railroads
than Europe has with her three
hundred millions. Theirs are
watched over by the absolute pow
er of a dozen monarchies; ours left
unguarded by the loose and
chaotic powers of the masses.
More, we are adding TO the arms of
this monster at the rate of thou
sand miles a month. 1t is estima-
ted that we shall need 100000
miles to supply (and hold fast) this
country. This will represent thir-
W billions of dollars, stocks, bonds
and water. If the problem stag
gers us now, what shall we do with
it then? Where are all the states
men--nay, where are all tho voters
competent to grapple with the
consolidated power of thirty bill
lions of dollars? Is it too soon to
agitate this tremendous question?
Do not the anti-monopolists do well
TO cry aloud day and night to the
people to 'bewareY Countryside.

Travellers in Africa assert that
the most certain cure for malarial
fever is strong coffee, and the suffer
ers from the prevalent malaria here
would experience immediate relief
from its use. 1t is known to be a
wonderful disinfectant, and it is
urged that although it possesses
the exhilerating properties of other
stimulants, no corresponding ner-
vous prostration follow its use.

the thrifty condition of the business

Willard as a Society Man.

Brooklyn Eagle.
The latest and most interesting
news about the millionaires is that
Henry Willard has resolved to be-
come society man. The brilliant
social career of Uncle Bill Wander
bilt has driven Willard most crazy
with envy, and he has resolved to
out do the two hundred millionaire.
Vanderbilt looks like a butcher,
Willard like a brewer, Keene resem-
bles quiet tradesman and Gould
dealer in secondhand clothes. None
of them boast of many social graces,
but they are all powers in the land.
And they all show more or less
tendency to get into society. Mr..
Vanderbilt's wife gives a ball on
Tuesday night at her house, to
which over 1000 people have been
invited. Everybody is going be-
cause they expect to see Uncle Bill
lead the German. Wizards tastes
run in a different way. He is trying
to work up the enthusiasm in
musical and artistic way. Accom-
panied by his wife and daughter,
both of whom are plain and unpre-
tentious people, they attend in places
where paintings are exhibited, and
they are constant visitors to the
Metropolitan Opera-house. Mrs.
Willard and her daughter are not
noted for rich or tasteful dressing.
