OUR country is remarkable in many
respects. but in nothing more wonderful
than in the rapidity of its growth. The
New York Tribune'S Broadway Lounger.
speaking of the events during the life
time of the late Peter Cooper. conveys a
vivid idea of what ninety-two years have
done for the nation. He says:
when he was born. in 1871. the total
population of all the Incorporated cities
in America was only 49,. 900. or the pres
ent population of Jersey City or of New
ark. The population of the United States
was four millions. or the number New
York State had before the rebellion.
When Mr.. Cooper was fifty years old the
urban population had grown LOCO per
cent when he was ninety years old it
had grown almost 1000 per cent more.
In short. the American cities alone be-
tween his birth and death had advanced
from 100000 to nearly l.2OO.0W souls.
The population of BROOKLYN ut Mr.. Coop
ers birth was not over 600 souls and its
few houses were relieved against woods
upon the Heights. The population of
New York City when he was born was
under 10000 and the place stopped mt
Chambers street. and that year the best
parts of New-York State were sold to
Spectators by the governor for a shil-
ling an acre. Washington city had no
existence whatever. There were only
fourteen States in the Union; Vermont
came in the year Cooper did. Ohio not
till he was eleven. louisiana not till ne
was a voter. California when he was in
his siXtieth year. He was eight years
old at W~ashington's death and lived I'M
der every President. Napoleon Bona
parties name was not whispered when
Peter Cooper wa born. lie was old
enough to have been a city editor when
Fulton started the first steamboat.

years with decided success. / have used it on
corn, potatoes, wheat, India wheat, and beans,
cabbtges and turnIps, and in every case it has
doubled to quadrupled the crop. | have used it on
every soil, and every crop where | have used it..
All of my ncighbors who have used ii are as
loud in It's praise as myself. There are many
kinds of fertilizers in the markets, and brother
farmers, "let well enough alone!" Bradley's
Phosphate has done well for us and continues To
do so, and why not stick to it? | used more last

a man in the factory who moved that the
corporation of Londonerry rescind the

Lord Mayor Of Dublin to lecture in the

LONDON, November 2.-An extra Pail
Mall Gazette containing statement that
the authorities have been anonymously
informed that an attempt will be made
to destroy the train on which the Duke
and Duchess of Connaught will travel to
Dover from London, on their way to
India, has caused great sensation. The
chairman and the general manager of the
Southern railway have issued special in
structions to their employees to be on the
alert to prevent any interference with
the train, and have devised elaborate
precautionary measures for the safety OF
the Duke and Duchess. A large force OF
police are stationed at the Cannon-street'
Charing Cross, and London Bridge sta
tions, and gangs of track layers watch
the entire track. These precautions are
taken in consequence of an anonymous
letter warning the privy council of the
of the proposed attempt to wreck the
train.

This, dear reader is no overdrawn
picture but absolute facts to be seen in
daily life, in fact language cannot describe
it in its terrible enormity.
Let the people of Denver nip the
double-headed monster in the bud Of
unprincipled landlordism and powerful
monopolists in business, who carry on
dozens of trades or callings under one
roof and agrandize to themselves what
should be divided among the masses; and
be free and independent in place. being
enslayed by tyranny and oppression and
to keep soul and body together be COM
PEELED to sacrifice moral dignity and
virtue, as too many have to do to even
keep their miserable positions.

this new state that she will not be caught

Rtotous Railroad Laborers.

READING, Pennsylvania, November 2.
. Deputy Sheriff Strong and a posse of
policemen returned from Gibraltar, five
miles from here, the scene of the rail-
road riot, having in custody twenty-one
rioters. They will have hearing in the
morning. They we're all employed on
the new Schuylkill Valley branch of the
Pennsylvania railroad. This morning
Contractor Haurman paid them off and
discharged them because they were re-
bellious and demanded higher wages.
They got drunk, intimidated other
workmen, and tried to persuade them
not to work. Next they attacked the
laborers' quarters, tore down the shan
ties, and broke and destroyed every
thing they could lay their hands on. A
posse pursued them on the road, and
caught up with them at Birdbers, where
all were captured except one or two.
Pistols were taken from several, and
others carried dangerous looking knives.
A charge of riot and intimidating the
workmen will be preferred against them.
One man and woman were assaulted
and the latter was badly injured.

A Local Example.

Removal On accountof my new landlord.
John Appel, raising my rent 30 per cent, /
am forced to move. Stock and fixtures for
sale. j.. BEGHrER.
The above legend appears upon the build
ing No. 11S6 Dupont st. We read it with APP
probation. 1t indicates that the man who put
itup had the sense and spirit which each and
all ought to have. The creature that submits
to be robbed without protest is only a slave.
1t is true that, situated as we now are, we
often have to submit to many shameless acts
of spoilation. But we ought, at least, pro-
test In this case as in all city places the rent
was already much too high, since it included
in it great charge for the use of the ground
upon which the building stands-a most gross
and outrageous imposition-as the only value
hat this land has is owing to the presence of
the people of the city and since it owes its
value to their occupancy of it the value
belongs to them and each of them should
keep his share in his own pocket. The rent,
we have said, was too high. Why then in
crease it? Simply to commit an outrage, an
extortion, a robbery. The weapons used are
different from those employed by road agents
or other illegal robbers, but not less defective.
We submit to this kind of robbery. 1t is
wrong for us to do so. If all the victims will
unite to resist this monstrous system it can
be overthrown forever. The mechanic rents
a house at twenty dollars month, or two
hundred and forty dollars year. OF this, at
least a hundreds is charged for the lot. Let
family pay this for a period of forty years.
Four thousand dollars. The price of four
strong young slaves in land of human chat
tells will be wrung out of the labor OF one
poor man. Thus and thus only are the loaf
ingclasses suStained-by legalized brigandage
pure and simple.
A rise in the poor mans rent means that
his wife shall go barefooted and the children
be pinched with hunger. That the boy sh.ll
be kept from school for the lack of clothes
and books and sent to sweat in factory, that
his sisters shall shiver in the winter nights
walking the streets as prostitutes for a few
dirty silver coins. 1t is a wicked and cow
ardly robbery perpetrated upon the needy and
helpless, legal theft which a brave high
wayman would be too proud to commit.-San
Francisco Truth.
