MoNoroLrEs in this day and time
are fast becoming the features OF
American business life. Greed OF
gain is striking its roots deep down
in every portion Of American enter
prise. No interest now seems to feel
content until it has an aggregation
of resources to make it powerful.
Capital employed in kindred pur-
suits in its mad rush for fancy prof
its combines for the double purpose
of crushing opposition and debating
prices. There is now scarcely any
industry but what is in the way to
operate under the breeze caught
from the lies of monopoly. The
American people is running wild in
this direction. The railroads are all
operated under monopoly systems.
Manufacturing is also fast passing
under the same rule. The cattle
business which is yet on its first
legs is, also taking shape in that di-
rection, and ere long will take rank
with the first class monopolies of
the land. The monopoly o. the
sewing machine business which APP
peared to have its back broken re-
Gently, is fast struggling to it's feet
again. Already the machine needle
manufacturers have pooled interests,
and ere long the machine men will
do Che same thing, when they will
become mightier monopoly than
ever. Almost every species of bus
mess, trade or industry either is
already. or seeks to be caught with
in the radius of its influence, all per-
haps except the farmer, and even he
has been piddling round the pool"
with his granger organizations and
farmers unions. This grasping af-
ter power, this ambition to COM
pass the emoluments and distinction
which money gives, this mighty on
ward move which capital is making
in almost every direction to consoli-
date, to concentrate, to monopolize
for profit, is the bane Of this Ameri-
can nation. 1t has already intro
duced the strikes from the old coun-
tries. 1t is the evil star rising up
above our horison. 1t has hardly as
yet been caught sight of by our
people, but ere long its baleful light
will be dashed across our vision with
painful vividness. The great CEN
tiers Of our country have been struck
with<a mighty craze for wealth, dis
tinction, show and power, and to
compass these, ambition struggles
day and night, honorably, if it may,
otherwise, if not. From these cen
tiers great black wave has been set
in motion, which stops not until our
remotest boundaries and all grades
of American society have been bap-
TIED with a spirit of speculation.
What shall be the end of all this.
In the past history of other countries
we may read something Of their own
future unless the good sense of our
glorious dead shall descend upon us
like benediction from above and
inspire public policy and create a
public conscience in this American
nation that shall put aside, and
throw off the menacing power of the
almighty monopoly and dry up the
cesspools of the lottery and corrupt
ing speculation in grain, groceries,
and cotton futures.

THE meeting Of the American
Bible Society in the Southern Meth
odist church last Sunday was sue
cess. Yes complete success. 1t
was opened with an appropriate
hymn, sung by the congregation,
and suitable selection from the
Psalms, read by Bro j. L. Massey,
after which came the sermon or adj
dress by DR.. G. W. Harkey. The
claims of the Bible and the duty Of
our people to put in the hands of
those destitute of it, were earnestly
and ably pressed upon the congrega-
ton by the doctor. His address was
delivered extemporaneous, and held
the audience for about an hour. At
the close Of this address, Judge L.
w. Davis, came upon the stage, and
here the proceedings changed some
what. Up to this time, all had been
serious and thoughtful. The judge
came smiling. He generally under
takes task this way-first displays
good humor himself, and ineites it
in others. But did he have a task?
He did. And did he discharge it?
he did. Try it, if you don't think it
is task to raise money in church,
or out of it as for that matter. At
the end of that collection, the cash
and subscriptions were counted out,
and the amount announced, $6605,
and the judge was satisfied. One
reason Of his success, we opine, was
that he stood in the front rank of
donors himself. When the benedic-
ton was pronounced, all felt that a
happy and successful occasion had
been closed. Russellville is doing a
glorious work in this Bible cause.
1t may cost a little sacrifice of mon
ey now; but when its over all will
rejoice that every destitute man or
woman in Pope county has been sup
piled with the pure word of God
without note or comment. During
the meeting the monthly report of
Bro. Moseley, the colporteur, for
the month of May, was read, giving
/ the items as follows.

THE city council is not dead, nor

it held a meeting, and, in that meet
ing, il spoke right out, and its voice
was strong, and its backbo is get

business hike business. 1t reached
around for the right enc of several
things, and especially some things
that bears on the sanitary condition
of our town. We won't refer to DR..
Hills speech before the council,
which was something like an added
coal on a terrapins back but the
doctor said something all the same,
and the council listed. Then it
moved, and the motion carried, and
the amount of it all is, we are going

of what the society is doing, and 50
far the whole burden is on Russell

rally to this grand cause. We must
keep our man in thesfeld, and we
must have money to do it. His sal
AIRY is paid ont of the books sold,

What is the right of the ballot to
woman compared with her privilege
OF enjoying health and happiness in

mately connected with the health
and happiness and advancement of
women--the centre and source Of
our highest earthly enioyments las
the discovery OF a remedy which
meets her peculiar wants, and fits
her for the enjoyment OF life, and for
ministering to the happiness Of those
with whom she is associated in the
tender relations of sister, wife and
mother. This remedy is found in

THE LE0IsLATURE,


Special Dispatch to the INrELIIaINcRR.
HARRISBURG. April 25.-In the Senate
this morning the bill providing for the
organization of the reserve militia was
negatively reported. Senate bills were
passed finally, authorizing suits against
the commonwealth authorizing railroad
companies to change their route probibi-
ting the consolidation of competing
oil line companies and regulating tho
practice of veterinary medicine and sur
gerry in cities of the first and second class
prohibiting the consolidation of competing
oil pipe line companies /; the Pittsburgh
street improvement bill, and the bill to
prevent the mutilation of books, paint
ings, etc, in public libraries.
The House amendment to the Wallace
arbitration bill was unanimously concurred
in. The anti-treatiug bill was recOnsidered
and again defeated, which kills the meas.
ure for this session. It received four votes
less than it did yesterday, when it lacked
one of a constitutional majority.
House Procoedingp.
In the House tho bill exempting from
taxation the capital stock of steamship
companies engaged in foreign trade, plank
road and turnpike companies, building
and loan associations and manufacturing
corporations, and limited corporations,
Was discussed at length. A motion to
indefinitely postpone was defeated-yeas,
40 nays, 1S. The bill was then post.
poned for the present. The general
revenue bill was then considered until the
hour of adjournment without reaching a
vote.
Libel Suit Withdrawn.
John Gallagher has withdrawn his libel
suit against A. X. Mcclure, having yield
ed to the pressure brought to bear against
him by prominent prolitical friends, such
as Senator Cooper.

THE CIRCUS.

A Gli.ter,ue and Pompous Street Parade.
The Forepaugh circus arrived In this
city about 8 p. m. yesterday, having
come straight through b to Lancaster from
Wilmington, DEL, without stopping at
Chester, except for short time, owing to
the inclemency of the weather, which
marred the outset Of the tour. The
hotels of the city we're pretty we'll
crowded last night with performers,
agents and other attaches of the combina-
ton, and early this morning crowded
streets betokened abig popular attendance
at tho show this afternoon and evening.
There was great influx of country folk
and from Q o'clock until nearly noon the
streets, sidewalks, front steps and all
available points of view on the front
streets were crowded with spectators
anxious to behold the pageant.
AS this was the first fair day since the
ciecus started many of the uniforms and
costumes displayed were worn for the first
time and the gorgeous garbs were seen
bright and fresh. There was the usual
display of triumphal cars; gilded and
carved wagons Roman chariots, drawn by
two, four and six horses menagerie vans
displaying thrilling side paintings; the
teams of trick ponies and dwarf
mules gay cavaliers and equestriennes !;
knights, in glittcring mail and armed
cap pie groups of masked and grotesque
figures, and heralds, musicians and other
features of all we'll regulated shows. But
the gorgeous barge of Cleopatra, sur
mounted with statuesque figures of her
slaves and other accompaniments of
Egyptian luxury the great teams
and the procession of elephants of all
sizes ar d the special feature of the Lalla
Rookh group, borne on sumptucus thrones
carried on the backs of elephants; the great
gilded carving of the American eagle and
the federal coat of arms, and other signal
displays were much in advance of what is
wont to be displayed here and fully salts
fed the spectators that an unusually good
show was to be given on the grounds.
The parade, followed by the hundreds Of
small boys, enthusiastic men and many
mothers carrying their children in arms,
moved out to the circus grounds on Nc
Governs lots IN tho northern part of the
city between North Queen and Duke
streets, where \ largely attended and sat
isfactory performance was given this
afternoon and another is to be given to
night. From Lancaster tho circus goes to
Harrisburg.
Charles A. Davis, a we'll known, and
popular gentleman is representing the
show as press agent, and his important
department is excellently managed.
