Competition.
From the Contemporary Review


 Competition is the cause of all progress it is the great force of industrial activity, the source of our power. But it is productive of an endless agitation, of permanent uneasiness, and of general instability. No one is satis- fled with his lot, no one feels secure as to his future. The rich burn to acquire greater riches, and he who labors to live fears the loss of his daily bread. Every man is free, and all fulfil their destiny; there is no class set ApArt nn Inaccessible trade; equality is legally established, but in point of fact inc quality exists. and is the more Irritating be- cause every man may aspire to all. There are more bitter awakenings, as more lofty dreams are indulged in. All may climb to the highest step on the ladder, but few reach it, and those who remain below curse those who are above them, while coveting their place. Men formerly were not worried by the wish for change, because they saw no means of getting it. They were possessed any thirst for riches for all this was beyond their reach Their lot in this world was fixed, and their hopes were for the next. Now they desire happiness for this preeen. life, and aim at destroying all that may prove an obstacle to the equal distribution of earth ly JOYS, We must not forget that there are many reasons why men of the present day should pursue wealth with much greater ardor than formerly. In the first place, it can procure them many more enjoyments than at the period we speak of-home com forts and luxuries of every kind, the pleasure of travelling all over the world, summer passed in charming Alpine resorts, and win ters on the enchanting coasts of the Mediter- this has replaced the monotonous existence of the feudal baron, who could only spend his superfuous revenues in entertain ing his subordinates. At the present time the old feeling of good will between master and servants, landlords and their tenants, has wholly disappeared. The proprietor and capitalist now look only to the increase of their revenue, and in this they conform to the principle of orthodox political economy, for the greater greed with which riches are pursued must result in the rapid spread of general wealth. On the other hand, tenants and workmen of all classes are becom- ing daily more convinced of the truth of the terrible adage, "Our master is our enemy The class struggle which has broken out in Ireland in all it's horror is at present an ex- ception; but the sentiments which gave it birth are to be found fermenting in the breasts of nearly every rural population. In the country villages of Russia, Germany, Spain. Austria and Italy are to be heard only words of sorrow, hatred and revolt.

WILL DORSEY SUE THE TInIEs

WILL DORSEY SUE THE TIMEs
 Dorsey hes made threat which, if car- ried out, will furnish 2 fair test of lis inno- cence or guilt. He proposes, he says, to sue the New York Times for libel To this en- terprising journal is due the discovery of the Star Route frauds. F was the first to make the accusation and ip its columns the facts were first laid beforeIthe public. If Dorsey is innocent it will bel eminently proper for him to sue the T5mss The theory of the law is that the right ofaction against slan- derer who has charged a man with crime rests in the fact that such charge tends to subject the one against whom it is made to criminal indictment. This is just what has happened in Dorsey's case. The accusation made by the Times led directly to his arrest and trial If he is innocent his case ought to be clear, and the damage he has suffered has been enormous. His counsel would doubtless be able to put this last fact beyond doubt. Of course Dorsey will sue. law suit with the Times will, in many respects, be fairer test of his innocence than the trial through which he has just passed. In criminal cases the law requires the evidence 
 beyond reasonable doubt. Moreover, Dorsey was indicted with others for conspiracy and his counsel claimed and the court charged the jury that it would not be enough to find any one of the defendants guilty of fraud. It must be shown beyond a reasonable doubt that two or more of them had conspired to commit fraud. It has been more than hinted that Dorsey owes his &C., quittal to these technicaities. suit against the Times will be civil case. A fair pre- ponderance of evidence will be sufficient to prove any fact in issue. It will not be nec essary for the defense to show that Dorsey has conspired with anybody. The plain issue will be whether the Times has told the truth. If Dorsey gets verdict it will be upon the merits, and no one can cast shadow upon the clearness of his vindication by attributing it to legal quibbles. If Dor sey is innocent Dorsey should sue, and if he is innocent he probably will. The Times would like nothing better than this opportu- nifty to vindicate itself and we should like to see him carry out his threat. He cannot afford to back down

Shall We Know Each Other There .

The minister of fashionable church once preached beautiful sermon on this subject. He drew the picture of a very beautiful heaven. We would walk in sunlit groves, by the music of waterfalls, and gaze out upon the amaranthine fields. And then, too, ''We shall know each other there" said the minis ter, and then added 'There'l be no stran- gers in the New Jerusalem; we'll all be friends"
 'tBeautiful" 7" said Dea Sham as he trotted down the aisle.

 ''Mr.-, am glad we shall recognize each other up there."
 '.Yes,'' said the minister, 'tit is one of the greatest cancellations of our religion"
 ''Well, I'm right glad we shall know each other. It will be great change, though ;; for have attended your church for over four years, and none of the members of this socie- ty have recognized me yet. But-we shall know each other there.''

sharply outlined against the woodshed, he feels instinctively that this woman-the only woman he has ever loved, and to win smile from whom he would brave the horrors of Inferno or go to St. Louis In July-has been making toy of his affection. The thought is maddeping one, and as it surges through his brain and starts on the return trip almost without pause the agony is so overpower- ing that the strong man reels, end would have fallen had not his pants been too tight. s'Do you know what you have said, Beryl ?'' he asks, bending h's face close to hers and looking with pitiful, pleading man-on third base and-two-out expression into the beauti- full brown eyes that are upturned to lis. But there is no light of love in those dusky erbs; no warm, responsive, yeu-may- -hold-me-a lit tle-while-when-we-get- -home-from-t the concert gleam Around the dropping mouth there are hard, tense lines, and on the white brow, that is fair as the cyclamen leaves scattered over the lawn of Brierton Villa, there comes no rosy ftush-sweet messenger of love and trustfulness-nothing but the faint, perfumy odor of homemade bandoline. And as she does not answer him, but stands defantly, only the irregular cracking of her iver-pad telling of the emotion that Beryl fesls, he turns away, steps through the open window upon the veranda and en instant later is lost to view.
 My God '' exelaims the girl, sobbing as if she had mislaid her shoe-buttoner on mat inee day, "I have driven him away !" and hastily pushing aside the honeysucfles that cluster around the window she goes hastily out into the purple twilight that hangs like mantle over the earth and calls to him.
 There is little stir among the hlacs and syripgas and an instant later George had clasped her to his suspender.
 ''And you do love me, after all ?'' he asks
 She laughs softly, as if bewildered by her sudden happiness, and then her eyes fill with tears as she softly strokes his face.
 Yes, darling," is the answer, land you must come to supper now. We are to have hot biscuits. I made them myself"
 "You made them ?'
 ''Yes,' she whispers, made them all by myself"
 ''Then, he says sadly, ''you cannot love me, and starts for the gate The girl fol lows him and cries in low, despairing vail for him to come back. But he does not heedIher. On and on he goes, when sudden ly she sees him throw up his arms, as the drowning man poes when battling with the very air for existence, and disappear forever.

"The glorious climate of California" has it's drawbacks, among which are the unpleas- ant and harmful north winds. A table of the number of days in each month since July, 1877, in which the prevs:Eng wind is from the north, compiled from the signal service books. shows that out of seventy-two months only three have been from tt:s wind. The wind is most destructive in April, May, June and July, but happily it is least prevalent in those months. October and November have the greatest number of days with north wind credited to them, wt;le August is the freest from this visitation. The en- nusl average in the yeers mentioned has been 53 days.

Some large stories about the profits of some book agents have been told by g New York book man. He says that agents of Q well-known firm of book publishers in New York earn from $lO0 to $500 per week. One men has received $20,O0o for lis services since last September. One canvasser earned SPAS in ten weeks. One is mentioned who has been forty years a canvasser, and now averages $1O.Ooo year. But not everybody can be book agent. The gentleman who furnishes these statements is in charge of the eanvassing department He says he tries 5000 year who think they can be good can- yassers. and thinks himself lucky if he can get ten good ones. The "big fish" among the book canvassers are probably not numer- ous, but the gentleman referred to said there were fifty in the country who earned $10O 8 week

Dr. Miller, who is described as physician and surgeon of good repute at Ooonomowoc, Wisconsin, has me 1e 8 fine ext 'bition of himself, and deserves el the e.ivertising he will get out of it. A little girl received a severe injury on the head, snd the parents ee!led Dr. Hawkes., the fer'ly physician. who is homeopathic practitioner of good stand ing. Dr. Hawkes. found that it was necessa- ry to at once have severe surgicel opera tion, and as he professed no skill in that work Dr. Miller was celed. He cene, saw Dr. Hawkes., and in spite of all entreaties and the fact that delay might cost the ck Ids life, at once left, say Ing that his code permitted no consultation with homeopathists sand that he could have nothing to do with case where Dr. Hawkes. had been called A homeopath- ist surgeon was then summoned from Cf;ca- go, and his operation was successful and the little girl will probably recover.

 The Worcester Spy has kept it's head better than most of the anti Butler papers of Mas 6dc6u5etIB ana It now 8eLS 10fvA the s1euaefOH calmly as follows Governor Butler has not aienated many of those who supported him last year. His insolence and his buster, his untrathfulness, his i'll manners and bad lan- guage are characteristic qualities They are what his attached personal followers es- pecially admire in him. It would be absurd for anyone who voted for him last year to allsge any of the indecent exhibitions the governor has made of himself as reason for voting against him this year. They had no right to expect, and 8 very few did expect that he would conduct himself otherwise than he has done. The report that such Demo- ocrats as Judge Abbott end F. W. Bird are disappointed in Butler, and ashamed of hay ing voted for him, is of course foolish They have known him for half century, and knew then as well as they know now what sort of g governor he would be. They voted for him because, under the conditions of that time, they preferred that kind of governor to any other, and we know of no reason why they should not prefer to have him another Year

The ''prime steem lard" of Chicago will suffer in popular esteem on account of revel- ations which have just been made concern ing it. One chemist seid that he found in the samples submitted to him beef or sheep fat and cottonseed oil to the extent of not less than 10 per cent. A steamftter testified that, instead of the simple machinery need ed for rendering pure lard from hog fat. he had been employed to put up complicated contrivances for the reduction and mingling of various other substances, such as cotton seed o;l, tallow, etc. Other testimony of employees told of even worse practices, in- dicsting an adulteration of at least 25 per cent.
