Straight Talk AT Last!

Levi c. Bird Esq, has at length placed
his party on record upon the subject of
American labor. On Wednesday night, at
the Opera House, he made this notable state
ment-'F they (foreigners) aoiH come here
and l0orh for less cages than yOu, they haze a
right to do ii, and Let them come" These are
rash wordsl We would wish calmly to re-
mind that gentlemen and the Republican
party whose spokesmen he is, that the
right" of foreigners to come here docs not
exist ip tAs p2altiVe sepse he asserts. They
are permittedto come, and the citizens OF
this country have as yet abstained, with the
exception of the Chinese restriction, from
exercising their right" (the only right tol
Grated by the United States in the premises,
of putting an embargo upon the restricted
influx Of foreign labor here. The Republi
can party should be reminded again of th,
fact that a feeling exists among the laborer,
of this country that some restriction b,
placed upon the further immigration o
foreign labor here-and the reason is tn,
laborer needs protection!-Let the Ropubli
cans apply their protection plaster to tina

which they have so long neglected, givin.

Untrue lTistO.y.

Mr.. Blaine, in his banquet speech at Del
monico's on Wednesday, stated, that under
Republican rule "the State of New York
had increased in wealth from 81 800, 000 000
in 1860 to Sc, 300, OOO,OO in 1885," adding
that there never has been in all the history
of financial progress in the world any par
allel to this"
The figures are not questioued-but in
after years, the dispassonate historian in
treating upon the financial advancement
and PROCESS of the country will place upon
record (and as faithful historian this will
be demanded of him) the value of those
figures as an Indication of the financial CON
diton of the Masses The record will 90
upon the pages OF history that although that
large aggregation of wealth existed in the
country-not alone in New York State-it
can not be accepted as true statement of
the condition of the masses at that date
Wealth is in the hands of the few while COM
paratiye poverty is the lot of the individual!
In that sense, therefore, which is the only
legitimate source from " hich data upon the
advancement of the nation in financial pro-
gress can be held as of historical value the
assertion by Mr.. Blaine and his party of
r,IH in1 ig F,1saI
Similar shallow differences were made at
a banquet at the Young Mems Republican
Club in this city, some six months ago, by
J. Washington Hastings, who, in post
prandial discourse asked his audience to look
around them and behold the evidences of
wealth and prosperity in the city of Will
m ington. the handsome private residence S
building up around us &C., when at that
moment the average pay Of the workingmen
Of the city was $500 per week! The fathers
Of families were 'on short time" the chill
drcn insffciently clothed and the hard drudg-
ing frugal mother at her wits end to make
both ends meet? Mr.. Hastings audience saw
only the granite residences Of Delaware
Avenue and the costly equipages of our
millionaires! The little red-brck, box. like
novels Of the lower districts, where the
masses live, did not intrude their repulsiye-
ness upon the rosy picture graphically
thrown by the speaker upon the fancies of
his hearers.
Is the fact of the accumulation of inordin-
ate wealth by a few isolated individuals in
a community true indication Of the gener-
al material progress of that community
while its masses are driven to the extrem-
est measures of economy in order to main
tain bare exstence?-W What was the condi-
tion Of the masses, at any given date, is the
question the historian asks, when desirous
to ascertain facts as to national progress.

Two Prominent ExDIorers.

We will have among us Tomorrow, occu-
pying city pulpits, as evangelists, two most
remarkable men, the Rev. Henry Grattan
Guinness, and DIR. James Cameron.
They will speak for themselves as evange-
lists, but it is necessary also that they should
be known by our citizens for the great as
sistance they have been to the scientific
world in the course of their travels and ex-
plorations through the least known portions
of the globe. The strange story of their ex-
periences sound in our ears like the early
stories of the missionaries Marquette and
LaSalle.
Mr.. Guinness accompanied by his indefati-
gable wife, followed hot on the heels of our
explorer Stanley, up the difficult Congo
country of Central Africa. His object was
to establish missions. This he successfully
accomplished, planting 26 of them along the
course of that immense river, which stretches
almost across the continent He has preached
in every country OF Europe, in Russia,
Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Finland
also in Egypt and Palestine. Mr.. Guinness
is world renowned orator; and it might be
added, when stating what he has accom-
plshed, that with the aid of Mrs. Guinness
he has established training college for
missionaries in London from which 400 have
gone out, to every country in the world
Dr. James Cameron is also a famous tray-
eler, he has accomplished perhaps more than
Vambery the renowned Hungarian traveller,
whose tales of what he saw in China took
London scientific circles by storm.
Dr. Cameron in his peregrinations has
footed it &c, 900 miles through the Celestial
Land! From the China Sea to the frontiers
of that country, hitherto terra incog.
uita, emerging at Tibet and tie confines OF
Farther India! His mission, as in tho case
of Mr.. Guinness, and that of their co-laborer.
the great Livingstone, was to preach the Cos
pei.
DR.. Cameron is soon to return to China;on
Wednesday night last he was received as a
member Of the Delaware Avenue Baptist
Church 1t is to be hoped that before he
returns to the scenes of his labors he may be
induced to give the people of this city an
opportunity of listening to some talk upon
the strange sights he has, seen as well as
upon the higher message of bis mission.

TEMPERANCE.
Thirty Reasons for Temperance.

Mrs. Rev. Joseph Stockbridge, Stat,
Superintendent of Press Work, W. G. t. u,
in California has sent ont the following
thirty reasons for the prohibition of the
liquor saloons, in leaflets to be distributed
throughout the State of California. The
various reasons are indisputable, and any
one of them is sufficient cause for the pro.
hibition of the saloon. We commend them
to the careful perusal of our readers:-
l. They deprive men of their reason for
the time being.
2. They destroy men of the greatest intel
lectual strength.
g. They foster and encourage every
species of immortality.
A. They bar the progress of civilization
and religion.
3. They reduce many virtuous wives and
children to beggary.
7. They cause many thousands of mur-
ders.
s. They prevent all reformation of charac-
ter.
0. They render abortive the strongest res
olutions.
10. The millions Of property expended in
them are lost.
II. They cause the majority of cases of
insanity.
19 They destroy both the body and
soul.
IS. They burden the sober people with
millions for the support of paupers.
IA. They cause immense expenditures to
prevent crime.
10. They cost sober people immense sums
in charity.
IS. They burden the people with enor-
nous taxes.
II. Because moderate drinkers want the
removed.
IS. Drunkards want the opportunity
removed.
10. Sober people want the nuisance
90. Taxpayers want the burden re-
moved.
81. Prohibition will save thousands now
falling,

As a business concern these managers of

One of the novel bets on election was
paid yesterday, and created quite a little
furry of interest. Lse Fogman, the
winner, seated In a wheelborrow, was
wheeled by will Owen from Forman's
store to Mr.. Forman's residence. The
wheelbarrow was dramatically adorned
with an arch with brooms, ribbons, etc,
and music WAS furnished by Bob Hunt
ington, who, arrayed in a blue coat and
brass buttons, made a whole military
band of himself, playing q solo on a big
bass drum. A crowd of kids" cheered
Owen on as he pulled and pushed,
while a waving of handkerchief from
private residences indicated that the
ladies were watching with interest. Lee
Forman seemed to mako an unusually
heavy load, but investigation afterward
showed that some of the boys had hidden
several bags of shot in the barrow. As
often as Formsn shouted for Cleveland
Owen had to follow suit, with a refrain
on the bass drum. On reaching the
residence Owen was served with a big
dinner, and the affair ended as it began,
