NEW YORK, April 23.-The won
derful passage of the steamer Ore
gon is the theme Of comment at
the hotels and in the newspapers
All the prominent steamship COM
psnies report large increase in
the prospects of Summer travel
over this time last year. A major
ity of the passenger lines have
berths for passengers engaged as
far ahead as August for persons
sailing from this side. Some
steamers which sail in June and
July from here have almost every
berth engaged, and applicants are
turned away on account of inabil-
ity to get desirable berths. The
chief contestants for travellers who
demand speed above all ether con-
siderations are the Cunard and the
Guion lines, which have entered
into fierce competition, both as re-
CARDS the number of passengers
carried and the speed of the steam
ers. The Guion line boasts of its
three steamships, the Alaska, Ari
IONA and Oregon. and the Cunard
people are equally proud of the
Gallia. Servia and Aurania. The
latter steamer is expected to pull
down the Alaska's best record of
six days, eighteen hours and thir-
ty-seven minutes from New York to
Queenstown, a. we'll a. the six DAYS.
twenty-five hours record which the
Alaska holds from Queenstown to

THE SITUATION.

Within the past forty-eight hours
Blaine has lost aground in Missis-
sippi. failed to capture the Ohio del
egation where he had 9 votes in
1880, but made q decided gain in
New York ard captured two votes
in Washington Territory. His
gains in New York in the face of
Conkling and Arthur's opposition
are very decided. Massachusetts,
shows a decided preference for Ed

THE FIGURES.

Several Of our contemporaries
are inquiring where we got our
figures on the decline of the Blaine
boom. They were taken from the
official reports of the National Re-
publican Conventions of 1850.
and the proceeding of the State
Conventions of 1884, Bear in
mind that these figures are separate
and distinct from the assorted
bundles of transformation sent
over the country every day, in the
interest of Blaine by the Associated
Press.

! saAMEFUL SHOWING.

A shameful story comes from
Pennsylvania about the laborers on
railroad line whose pay was kept
back until they we're in an almost
starving condition. They became
riotous, and would have killed the
only man connected with the road
they could reach If . barrel Of
crackers had net been poured out
on the ground. The very sight of
the food turned them from their
purpose and they rushed for it like
Wild animals. But who would
have thought such things possible
in America, 1.-THE paradise of the
workingman?''- Boston Globe.
The above is simply one Of tie
many signs of the times. The rich
are gradually gathering in all That
can possibly be laid hold of, and
every year sees the Workman of
America getting lower wages for
his labor and paying more for the
commodities of life. When men
are tortured by the pangs of hun
ger and see their wives and chill
dren starving. they form what edi-
tor Pixley delights to denominate
''the dangerous class" In = few
years this class will be SO aug
mented in numbers as to make q
formidable force, if it chocs SEES. to
array itself in armed assault upon
that class of capitalists, whose in
comes 60 above $780, 900 a year
and pay starvation wages for every
stroke of work performed for them
The outcome of this question is
simply riot and bloodshed, and
when an uprising Of this class be-
comes general the men who are
tempting it will see their homes
and fortunes go up in the smoke
and the fame of q single night.
When this state of affairs comes, the
men whose grinding tyrrany will
have brought it about. will have
nobody but themselves to thank
for it.
