1t Is True.

The Tribune New York; after study
the late election returns thus discusses
the situation: "Votes cast within the
last thirty days show that the party of
reaction is not as near success as it was
in the spring of 1880. 1t holds by safe
tenure not a single Northern State. Dis
trusted as much as ever for its known
aims, detested more than ever for its
shameless conduct, and torn by the
greed of its factions, it has left not
man now visible who can be named for
the Presidency with a fair outlook. The
party of public faith and true regard
for labor is more united than it has been
since 1868. One sees neither Grant nor
anti-Grant, third-termsrs nor bosses,
stalwarts nor half-breeds, but only Re-
publicans; who seek nothing at the
South but free vote and an honest
count; who are divided no longer about
the currency, the banks or the tariff;
who have put down strife about the
Civil Service by law which the Presi-
dent is enforcing, and who are ready to
seek by their nomination. OF the sue
cess of any faction, but IL triumph of
their ideas and the safety the coun-
try"

100000. All the truer principles of
life are giving way before this unsati-
able craving for notoriety. Parents in
England complain of the extrayagance
of their sons at Oxford and Cambridge
and | hear it is coming to that here.
The civic authorities set an example of
this waste. At recent banquet given
to the Prince of Wales the cost was
Ell 500, the wine bill alone amounting
to f1,731. Luxury has become fashion.
All the nobler aspirations of our nature
are stifled beneath the iron heel of
money. All about us is unreal. Women
have false hair, false compilations, false
shapes. We have stucco villas, plaster
works of art. sham decorations; there is
is everywhere hollowness instead of
reality.
81 hear everywhere of the difficulty
of getting good servants. They want
to be fine ladies, aud they study more
their dress than how to please their
master. But servants copy only the ex-
ample of vulgarity set them. 1t should
be remembered that these United States
that have ever resisted despotism, are
in danger of submitting to one of its
worst forms-the despotism OF wealth.
The tendency is much the same as that
found in the old distich sung by English
country folk:
God bless the squire and all his rich relations,
And teach all poor people to keep their stations.
Ireally think a gorilla with rent roll
and a coronet would not want for nu-
merous friends and toadies."
The lecturer denounced the credit
system and loveless marriages, and in
conclusion she quoted these lines:

The WATERFOWL Republ IAN, is be-
ginning to set the political bah rolling,
by putting the name of Hon. l.. b. Cas-
well at the head of its columns as a can
didate for congress, and urging his
nomination in the first Wisconsin dis
trict. AS it is year yet before con-
gressmen will be elected, and the new
congress has not been in session three
days, casual observer might infer that
the Republican is little bit anxious.

Modern Sham

Miss Emily Faithful, in recent lee
ture in New York on "Mot Shams,"
said: 1--WE are all the vic rs of social
shams. Formerly, honor Rivalry or
ambition in some nobler S De engaged
the attention of mankir but now
there is an all-absorbin thirst for
money, a reckless determ ltion to en-
Joy the present. We all b I down be-
fore the millionaire. The Il liar is our
god, and Shoddy is his higi priest. If
things continue to go on hey are, in
fifty years we shall scarcely find rag
of social morality left. When women
90 about with painted faces and consti-
tutions patched up with choral and
pick-me-up and men pretend to @stheti-
cism on the strength of a sunflower and
the cut of a coat, it surely is time to
speak out.
"a casual observer cannot but re-
mark how much a certain low, cold
hearted cynicism, the result of extrava-
gance and unbridled luxury, is on the
increase. There is an exceeding great
army of evils threatening us as the re-
suit of these vices. The vices of the
present day are such as follow great
commercial prosperity The dollar has
become the standard of merit. Wealth
has established false standard by
which everything is estimated. There
is nothing in its eyes equal to poverty.
New York of a century ago no doubt
had its social shams, but it certainly
was happier city than the New York
of to-day. A man was not looked upon
as perfection because he was million
aire, nor was his wife looked upon as
dowdy because she wore plain dress.
But now, we must be well off or we are
nowhere. 1t is the lavish diffusion of
wealth which alone makes life worth
having. Money is the magic wand that
opens up to us regions of rarest mate
rial delight. Wealth is always power
whether employed for good or ILL., But
it may be an artiticiality that gradually
overthrows reality and makes all So
cietv hollow and false. When men and
women are appraised for what they
wear or what they have, social life be-
comes one vast sham. The standard of
right and wrong is lowered, and ruin
must inevitably set in. Some one has
said that in America the three RS are
for .rithmetic, roguery, and ruin.
.sWomen have great deal to do with
spending money. and are really at the
bottom of all social shams. They lose
their finer susceptibility under the
hardening influences of luxury, until
they grow indifferent to the misery
around them. If we walk in Hyde
Park, or down Fifth avenue. or attend s
fashionable church, we al see that
extravaganza is the lem = besettine
sin. 1t costs 100000 am lily to keep
up first-class hunting lblishment,
but more to keep up fas nable wife.
A lady recently wore jewels worth
