a tAN u htA1t
The idea of the whole globe being hypothe-
Gated by countless millions Of debtors to a
calculable number of creditors is a very
startling one, when it is abruptly and
markedly presented. And it is difficult to
imagine so vast an estate in liquidation, or to
conjecture to what bankruptcy court the
creditors would prove their debts, or who
would be the official assignees to collect and
distribute the assets.
Nevertheless, the fact remains that the
whole world is in pawn, and that its balance
sheet shows us an aggregate of liabilities
which Is absolutely appalling. They have
been summed up in The Fortnightly Review
by Mr.. A j. Wilson, an experienced writer
on financial subjects, and the total is the
stupendous sum of 1884, 100000 an amount
which, If represented in sovereigns, it would
take a man 1I2 years to count, at the rate OF
a sovereign a minute, without IA moments
cessation from beginning 10 end r
To defray the interest on this enormous
debt requires 200, 000, 900 per nnnum, which
Mr.. Wilson represents to be fully equal to
the entire earnings of {, Oo0, 600 of people; and
did each individual in these 5000, 900 sup
port a family OF three persons only beside him
self, the interest upon thsss debts would i'm
ply the absorption of the entire support OF a
population equal TO that OF the United
Kingdom"
OF course, a calculation Of this kind takes
no account Of the debts owing by municipali-
ties, counties, cities, railway, canal, gas,
water, insurance and other public companies.
But these would assume still vpster proper
tions, for the capital sunk in railways alone Is
OO,0OO,O COZ, and this is Of course a debt
owing to bond and shareholders; while the
local debts-state and city-in the United
States amount to fl75, $50, 900. The mother
country is the greatest p~awnbroker in the
world, and draws R250, 900, 900 per annum
from the nations and colonies indebted to her.
Mr.. Wilson is Of opinion that the time has
arrived when Il stop should be put to this
system OF mortgaging the future to meet the
expenditure OF the present, and when Eng
Land, more particularly, should begin to ex-
tinguish her existing liabilities. But his ad-
vice is not likely to attract much attention.
Nations are just as iinprovident as individu-
ais, and not one of them has ever been de
TERED from rushing into q war of ambition
or ACKNOWLEDGEMENT by considerations VI the
burdens it was entailing on posterity; and the
United States is the only one which has taken
prompt measures to extricate itself. from Il
national debt.

I--l Denver Opinion.l
Last week we went up to the Coliseum at
Minneapolis to hear Theodore Thomas or.
ehestra, the Wagner trio and Christine Nils
SOIL The Coliseum is a large rink just out of
Minneapolis on the road between that city
and St. Paul. 1t can seat 1000 people
comfortably, but the management like to
wedge 4, 500 people in there on a warm
day and then watch the Precipitation
trickle out through the c~lapboards
IN the outside. On the closing after
noon, during the matinee performance, the
building was struck by lightning and a hole
knocked out of the Corinthian duplex that
surInounts the ohlique portcullis on the of
side. The reader will see ut once the location
OF the bolt. The lightning struck the flag
staff, ran down the leg of a man who was
repairing the electric light, took u chew of
his tobacco, turned his boot wrong side out
and induced him to change his Sock, toyed
with u chilblain, wrenched out a soft corn
and roguishly put it in his ear, then ran
down the electric light wire, a part of It fill
ing an engagement in the Coliseum and the
balance following the wire to the depot,
where it made double pointed t%oothpicks OF a
pole fifty feet high. All this was done Why
briefly.
Those who have seen lightning toy with a
cottonwood tree know that the fluid makes a
speciality of it at opce and in u brief manner.
The lightning in this case broke the glass in
the skylight, and depU ted the broken frag-
ments on a half-dozenp arquette chairs that
were empty because the spectators who
owned them couldn't get but $50 apiece, and
were waiting for a man to mortgage his resi-
dence and sell a team He ouldn make
the transfer in time for a matinee, SO the
seats were vacant when the lightning struck
The immediate and previous fluid then shot
athwart the auditorium in the direction of
the platform, where it nearly frightened to
death a large chorus of children. Women
tainted, ticket SPECTATORS fell 81 on desirable
seats, and strong men coughed up a Glove.
The scene beggared description. l intended
to nave said that before, but forgot 1t.
Theodore Thomas drew a full breath, and
Christine Nilsson drew her salary. Two
thousand strong men thought of their wasted
lives, and 1000 women felt for their back
hair to see II it was still there. L say, there
fore, without successful contradiction, that
the scene beggared description.

The Archbishop OF Canterbury.


lIOnuOn LetUeT'l
London is blessed with many philanthro-
pists. Among them is the archbishop OF
Canterbury. He has recently been speaking
in behalf OF the London poor. He deplores
the. want of green fields and fresh air. He
hopes to see London studded round with
model villages, each with its ring of mead
ows. Yet when the archbishop came to his
throne a few years ago there was n great agi-
tation in London to get him to throw open to
overcrowded Lambeth the nine acres or so Of
meadow that belongs to Lambeth palace, This
ground is surrounded by a high brick wall,
and is OF really no use to any one, as it does
not include the palace grounds proper; be-
sides, the bishop has n great palace and i'm
'mense grounds within an hours ride of Lon
don. 1t would have been a great boon to
crowded Lambeth, for that part of London
has no parknear it, but the archbishop re-
fused TO give his sanction.

That was before Joaquin cut his hair and
then he carried it all carefully fixed up with

EIplanRtteb.

There has been many times within the
past four days when men have found
themselves at q loss for words in which to
adt QHately express their heartfelt thanks
for suceor rendered when in sore distress,
to describe the scenes Of suffering and
misery which are so often to be met with,
or to give vent to indignation which knew
no bounds at the heartlessness, rsscalty
and innate develishness which this over.
whelming calamity has brought conspic-
uously to the front. An instance OF the
latter occurred just afternoon yesterday
and the infamous scound,els who occa
stoned it should be forever held up to the
execration of their fellow ci!.Bens. About
twelve o'clock, as the relief steamers Belle
Prince and Regular were en- route up the
liver from Bellsire, people were seen on
the Ohio side at West Wheeling, ap.
usrently awaiting aid. The Regular was
in the advance, and WAS headed
for the sAore 10 furnish whatever
was needed and the Belle Rrincs
followed closely in her wake. When
the former Sas within fifty yards OF the
tauk man in the crowd deliberately
raised rife ana without WhrDlDS Dreu
shot into the cabin OF the boat. He was
followed by bali dozen others, and balls
we're soon nying fast among the rescuing
party on the boats. Astounded Hnd horri-
fled at the reception accorded them the
boats backed oil but the firing was kept
up until they were beyond range. The pi.
lot Of the Prince, Con Mcdonald. had
very narrow escnpe while standing in the
pi OF house. lie bstl passing through the
window and inst grsziig his head. When
the news Cf rhe tirIug reached the city the
indignation knew no bounds. Curses and
