Fruit Monopoly % in London.
lLondon Spectator. !

A great opportunity is offered to Lon
don. The Duke of Bedford, in letter
to the corporation of the city, offers to
sell Covent Garden Market and the
houses around it, the leases of which
are about to fall in. He admits the
necessity of improvements, but says he
is unable to make them on the scale re-
quired, which, under onr absurd system
Of life-tenancies, may be true. We do
not suppose that the corporation will
accept the offer, as the Dukes trustees
have no power to accept a bid much
lower than the value; and we do
not quite know why "E c." should
expend its property for the benefit
Of "W. c." If, however, London was
governed, as it ought to be, by single
corporation, that body would jump eag-
erly at the offer, and not only effect a
grand improvement in the very center of
London, but revolutionize the fruit and
vegetable supply. At present they are
strict monopolies, and good apple is
dearer than good orange. which has
come perhaps thousand miles. If the
dealers in Covent Garden had the
orange trade, they would grub up three
fourths Of the orange groves, and sell
the fruit at sixpence apiece, pleading
want of room.

What Hoadly did Say.

The report that Judge Hoadly said in
his Zoar speech that he did not want
man to vote for him who supported the
Second Amendment, is simply Republi-
can lie. Hoadly is man of too much good
sense to talk in that way-Elyria Consti-
tuition. -
Perhaps the quibble our neighbor de-
pends upon in his defense of Hoadly's
statement on this point will be accepted by
the public, and perhaps twill not. From
a verbatim report of Judge Hoadly's Zoar
speech, published in both the Democratic
and Republican papers,ia copy of which
lies before us, we quote his exact language.
He said.
Now, this is the condition of the tenn
perance question as it is presented to the
people of Ohio. 1 tell YOU a majority of
the Republican party mean TO go step by
step until they land you Republicans where
the Republicans of Kansas, and Iowa, and
Indiana, and Maine, and most of the New
England States have already landed-In q
declaration of absolute prohibition. If
you vote in favor of that, vote against me.
ask no vote of any man who believes that
mans personal liberty ought TO be controll-
ed by the despotic hand of a Constitution
forbidding all traffic in or use of this
species of merchandise. Applause.
1t was the prohibitory amendment he
was talking about. Itwas those who sup
port that amendment that he was address
ing, and to whom he said, "If you are in
favor Of that, vote against me.". Now what
did Judge Hoadly, who knows how to ex-
press himself in the English language,
mean unless he meantjust what he said, "If
you are in favor of that-(declaration Of
absolute prohibition)-vote against me-"
We put his words against any mans de-
nial, and wait the verdict of the public.
By Hoadly's express desire, every Demo
crat who votes for the Second Amendment
will scratch his name from the ticket

Mrs. Monoy's Address.

Wellington never was better treated than
Monday evening by the w. @. T. o. in Civ
ing the people the privilege of hearing the
talented Temperance evangelist, Mrs. Emma
Molloy.
The Congregational Church was very
well filed, the organist, Miss vanCleef,
played at the opening duet with Hersey,
the violinist and the Wellington Quartet,
the Townsend brothers, Mortimer wads-
worth and Mr.. Mueller, sang two selections,
the last being especially appropriate and
pleasing.
Mrs. Molloy, modest unassuming in
dress and manner, caught the sympathy of
her audience at once. Her Scripture read
ing was faultless and sermon in itself.
She. has, in an eminent degree, the quail
ties Of natural orator Her voice is clear,
flexible, penetrating, full, and she manages
It with superior skill. She is tender, pa
thetic, bright apt in illustration, logical,
and 50 magnetic that she captivates her
hearers and influences them at her will.
When an audience made up of toilers
from Office and store and shop; from the
kitchen, the busy home, the school and the
field, go there so weary that it was ques-
tion with many If they could or ought to 90
ct all, and sit so still, so charmed and in
terested that they do not take note of time,
Il is fair TO conclude that the one who
speaks 10 them has something to say. And
she has. Mrs. Molloy is terribly in earnest.
She has reason TO preach and teach pro
hibition. No one has suffered more keenly
from the evils of intemperance than she.
Her face and her voice is proof of her ac-
quaintance with grief. But with good taste
she makes no allusion to herself or her own
private sorrows.
When woman thus highly endowed,
confirmed by her own sad experience, set
apart for and consecrated TO earnest work
by the sacred grief that has laid its heavy
hand upon her, who has obtained her con-
victions not at second hand, who has
learned the intricacies of her theology by
divine instinct and received her license
and her call from sources that could not be
questioned or declined, who shall say that
it is not her place and her duty to be just
where she Isl
Nothing could be more womanly than to
bear such message from God to humanity.
She Is diyinely called and judiciously ap-
pointed to'preach the gospel of prohibition
70 the people of Ohio just now. The local
papers all over Northern Ohio, and the
city papers. daily and weekly, bear testi-
mony TO the effectiveness of her work. II
she could be heard in every town and in
every city ward and in every school dis
trict, there would be no question of the
fate of the Second Amendment.
Mrs. Molloy Is least effective when she
is sarcastic and expressing contempt, and
the hanging scene mars her address instead
of adding to its force Nothing is gained
by the contemplation of anything so horri
Bile. Her strong points, which are purely
gentle and womanly, are sufficient for any
occasion and dramatic enough.

The Age Of Steal.

Those who have written upon the pro
gress of Nations have divided the period of
mans existence into the ages of stone, of
iron and Of bronze. Whatever the dreams
of the visionary may have pictured, or
whatever foundation may exist for believ-
ing that man once cleft his way upward to
a higher plane of existence, with imple-
about the present epoch. This is the age
of steal. The most indiscTimiuate would
not be SO foolish as to compare the means
employed in the predatory excursions of
the old Goths upon Rome with that refined
sentiment and delicate apprehension with
which cashier on the Western Reserve,
wrecks bank.
Scarcely day expires but that the news
is flashed from sea to sea that some person
enjoying the confidence and respect of the
people of certain community has grossly
violated his honor, plunged himself and
friends into ruin and brought distress upon
hundreds of innocent people. There must
be a cause for all this. There must be some
flaw in the construction of our civil polity
or in the constitution of man and society
which will be productive Of such results.
We are of the opinion that these defalca-
tons, embezzlements, or TO use palmer
word, thefts, simply. arise from morbid
desire to get suddenly rich at the expense
of every personal feeling, and without
work. The vast resources of this country,
the progressive spirit of the people, and
the feeling of reciprocity throughout the
world have combined to present more
chances for the acquiring OF wealth than
ever before contemplated by man. Fami-
lies distressingly poor have become rich in
day, and changes in their condition
wrought with celerity that is amazing.
1t is the sudden acquisition of riches and
| the power that it gives that dazzles. Nine
out of ten of the young men today are
moving in social circles that tax their re-
sources to the uttermost. Receiving sala-
ries that would assure them a good living,
they are dissatisfied because they can not
| crafty tastes fostered under the influence
of wealth. The all absorbing impulse of
the young American is to get rich. The
contentment that follows devotion to duty
and principle is not thought of or appre-
ciated. Industry and frugality, the calm
wealth Of Nations as of individuals, is a way
too long and laborious. Gambling in stocks,
speculation, conversion of others funds
these are means to an end-and sad end
in many instances. Let man look at his
chances. 1t is computed that only ten men
out of a hundred who go into legitimate
business succeed. Does stock gambling
present any more chances? 1t is sheer fol
ly to suppose that it does. There is one
thing certain, public sentiment must be
crystallized into a force so powerful that
honesty and economy viii be protected a:

ability to spend money not the highest at
