Late advices from Europe state
that during the last few days the sit
uation between France and China
nave become very critical, owing to
the proceedings of the Freach Gov
ernment, the repeated votes of the
Chamber Of Deputies and the juxts-
position Of the Chinese and French
troops. Many well-armed Chinese
regulars have crossed the frontier
and encsmped at Bacninh. where
they are closely watching she move
ments of the French. Notwithstand-
ing the presence of the French feet,
three army corps OF 10000 men each,
equipped in the European fashion,
can on very short notice march by
three different routes against the
French. Among the Chinese troops
are many Europeans and American
engineers. The French may be able
to throw a few bombshells iuto Can
ton, bnt it will be difficult for their
dset to approach the place, as the
water is too shallow.

of fact there is very little OF that sort OF lit

every one-that is to say, every person who
is animated by laudable ambition to
better his condition-seeks to possess
wealth. They toll for it. They want
comfort in old age, and labor to Sc
cure at least a competency in the
vigor of their early and mature manhood.
Such yearnings and aspirations demand
approval. They are in the right direction
and contribute to the general welfare, and il
by means, recognized legitimate, great
wealth, expressed by the term millionaire,
is secured. no prudent person complains.
Wealth amasSed by such methods excites
neither envy nor jealousy in the minds OF
reputable people. 1t requires no labored
effort to demonstrate the power of money.

capable of approaching the responsibilities

is the opinion all good citizens invariably
express 1t should be understood that it is
the surplus wealth of a community that car
ries forward all great enterprises. Those who
build factories, elevators machine shops,
railroads, etc do it with surplus capital OBJ
tanned from those who have money to invest,
and hence instead OF capital creating con-
tention it should be regarded in the light of
benefactor, which, combining
with skill and labor, makes
the world move. But there is another
side to this millionaire and their millions"
question, and it is the side which is pro-
ductive of anything but complimentary
criticisms 1t is unfortunate for society that
many of the rich men of the period reach
the goal of their ambition by routes too
often 'star routes') which make large for
tunes themes for denunciation, create I'M

instances, disorder. We have the monopoly,
the aggregation of money for the purpose of
oppression, the few demanding tribute

TO degree which defies the powers Of rhetor-
cal figures, these monopolies are shielded in
their nefarious proceedings by laws and
Courts. We have constantly in view n set of
heartless spectators. able TO command money
in almost unlimited amounts, banding to-
Gether for the purpose of creating corners in
commodities which are the life of the people,
advancing prices regardless of the conse-
quences to those dependent upon their daily
toll to obtain the means of subsistence, and
when appeals are made to the
Courts for redress the people,
the great mass of wagemen, the
creators of wealth, are told there is no REM

bear their nI:sfortunes as best they can.
When the people in their dilemma appeal to
Legislatures and to Congress for redress, the
money power confronts them in we'll or

confronted with the questions whether he

Luther instantly acknowledged himself the

he made use of the following memorable
declarations: Let me then be refuted and
convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures

marred by bullet during the Revolutionary war
when some Jealous patriot wasted his ammunition
on the hated symbol. The whole place now has so

queer old stones in the graveyard which surrounds
