"The wires must go" is becoming more
and more the decision Of the public. They
are an eyesore, nuisance and a danger.
Down with them-not to the earth, but be-
low the earth, is the cry. The Americans
are wonderfully patient with what thsy do

less tolerance with the pole and wire abomi-
nation. The English have insisted upon
the underground plan, and the Postmaster
General there reports that there are 1888
miles OF Geographic wires under ground
within fosr miles of the general postofice,
and only 500 miles above ground; there are
also 900 miles OF private wire underground
ii The same space. The London poslefice
has 5000 miles underground within a radius
OF four miles. The service is repuled to be
the best in the world, which ID mainly
due to the complete insulation OF the
wires. There is little Ices from leak
age, none from the breaking Of
wires. 1t costa something 10 put the wires
underground, but when they are there they
are safe and cost little for attention. Men
are at work at the present time laying the
wires between Paris and Marseilles. The
cable of wires is inclosed in a cast-iron pipe
laid between FIVE and elk feet below the
surface; boxes, where the condition of the

THE sIrUATIOSINFRAsCE

To the well-wishers OF France the present
aspect CT public affairs in that country
causes anxiety. There is popular discon-
tent, the dangerous classes," that would
love to resort to anarchy and plumber, are
lifting mp their heads and prcclaiming their
pernicious doctrines. There is commercial
troubles, the Effects of the trade crisis of
January, 1SS2-which prove to be more
powerful than was anticipated-are parsIys-
ing business. Labor is not fully employed.
Sixty thousand people are said to be without
employment, wholly or partially, in Paris
and its environs. There have been strikes.
The retailers report decline in business.
The agriculturists show signs of distress. In
the wine producing districts the vintage is
only 100000 hectolitres against the former
100000 to 100000. A large number
of new houses built in and about Paris 10
supply an urgent demand remain
empty. The demand has vanished.
To face these difficulties and sooth
The rising discomfort, there is not
government that gives confidence. Men Of
mark whs can go to the popular hearts snd
command respect and confidence are not to
be found. Theirs and Gambetts are dead,
and they have left no successors. The legis-
]ativs body is capricious aud uncertain, in
trigues and factional contests prevent the
unity OF action required where social diff
cultiss, causing popular discontent, are
mingled with the serious political complica-
tions that arse from the yet unfinished pro-
cess OF doing away with the remnants of
monarchy, and substituting well considered
administrative organization, based upon lib
eral and genuinely republican principles.
Napoleonists, osleanists and Legitimists all
stand ready to take advantage OF legislative
failures, sdministr alive weakness, or popular
divisions or commotion, to bring back upon
the country the miseries and tyranny of its
old enemy-monarchy. Under this state of
things the country is i'll at ease, there Is no
cohesion of popular sentiment, and doub. and
distrust as to the future are finding expression
everywhere. There is dread that, at any
moment, the occurrence of some untoward
incident may arouse the people TO one of the
displays of captiousness that has SO long
deprived France of stable government. The
people, unfortunately, depend more upon
government than upon themselves. When

"PRoGREss AND POVERTY

The land question, sa was natural after the
passage OF the Irish bill, is taking fast hold
in England. At the very juncture when the
Irish agitation had turned public attention
to the ownership Of land, Mr.. Georges book,
Progress and P5verty appeared. 1t is circu-
lating by thousands-sixpeHny Twelve cenls)
editions are published. All classes are
studying its problems Men OF eminent
learning and clergymen have adopted its
teachings, and it has been translated and
published On the Continent. A newspaper,
Justice, has been started in London, with a
corps of accomplished writerF, that will dis
cuss and urge Mr.. Georges doctrines. The
book is published at twenty cents in this
county, and is widely read; but it does
not arouse the general attention and en-
thusiasm for its teschings that ex-
lists in England. 1t would be the
better if it did. In England the people
are beginning TO say of the landowners that,
whatever right they may have to the ground
they cultivate, neither they nor any man in
any country has right to hold piece of
land TO prevent others from cultivating it.
He ought not to be permitted to play the
part Of a dog in the manger, holding land
that he neither cullivates himself nor will
allow others TO cultivate. The Quarterly Re
aim has devoted an article 10 Mr. Georges
book. 1t strives with more zeal than success
to shake some of the positions the author
close analysis and strict logic have rendered
impregnsble, but its priori considerations
and hypothetical assumptions are puny ham
mers with which 10 attack the granite foun-
dsions laid in Progress and Poverty. The
fJllowing from that article shows that the
Quarterly regards the advent of the book as a
sort of crisis, it says: al is not the poor,
il is not the stdiiious only, who have been
thus affected by Mr.. Georges doctrines. They
have received welcome
among certain sections Of the really instructed
classes. They have been gravely listened TO
by aconclave of English clergymen. Scotch
ministers and Non Conformist professors
have done more than listen-they have re-
ceived them with marked approval; they
have even held meetings and given lectures
to disseminate them. Finally, trained eco
nomic thinkers are reported to have said
that they see no means of refu,ing them,
and that they probably mark The beginning
of a new political epoch" Such a
statement from such an opponent cannot
be disregarded, nor can a work that is pro-
ducing such marked effects. The reception
given TO Progress and Poverty in Europe is
one among many proofs that politics, spd
the work of reform in various countries, are
going 10 be mainly in he direction of social
questions. The great want the nations are
feeling is not wsnt of wealth, there is gen.
orally plenty of that, but want of a proper
distribution Of wealth, SO that there shall be
no excess and extravsgsnt accumulation Of
wealth on the one hand, and no restitution
