luxuries and MINISTRIES to education
without physical drudgery.
But the fact is, that the wageworkers
of this country are harder worked and
suffer more of poverty than ever before
and this condition is steadily gaining
The immense wealth they create is de,
veloping a moneyed aristocracy, the most
avaricious, arrogant and oppressive that
ever cursed the world. This aristocracy
is combined in a monopoly of the ad
ministration of the government, of the
transportation, of the press and teleg
rsphy and largely of lands, mines and
manufactures. This gigantic combina
ton makes power like Victor Hugo''

soulless, Shiny arms, ever multiplying
ever extending, wrapping all industries
and all toilers in its death embrace
sucking out all life, 1t is the monster
dragon of the apocalypse.
This concentration of the products o
toll in few hands the world over ha!
reached its maximum and it is the grea
curse. 1t is the gigantic force of evil
which prevents the lifting of mankind
to higher plane. Compared with it, al
other forms and combinations of sin ar
as the mere dust of the balances. 1t il
the great hindrance to the gospel o
Christ. The one supreme purpose o
each human life here, is to develop I
grand character, and thus prepare fo

They May Have Been Mere Accidents,
After All.

A few days ago, the TINES stated
that S. r. Fowler, the man charged
with setting fire to the schoolhouse in
Lower Wood River Valley on the
goth of December and Sth of January,
had been relieved of the first charge
on a preliminary examination. Since
then lie has been examined on the
second charge, and relieved of that
also. 1t appears that in both cases,
the schoolhouse stove was kept i'll a
corner of the building, and many now
believe that the fire caught through
the carelessness of some of the schol-
ars, in leaving the stove full of wood
and red hot, at the close of school.

THE COUNTY SAFE.
1t Still Remains Locked, and No Efforts
are Made to Have 1t Opened.

are Made to Have 1t Opened.
The safe of the Recorder and Audi
tor still remains locked, and no at
tempt is made to open it. The Dep
uty Recorder has written to his princi-
pal, advising him of the facts, bat he
only knows Mr.. Fox's Washington
address and the letter was sent to that
place. Mr.. Fox will, therefore, not
get it until he reaches the Capital. As
he intended to remain in Chicago a
few days, 1t is possible that he may
not reach Washington for a couple Of
weeks. In the meantime, it appears
that anyone wishing to examine the
books or other documents locked up in
the safe, will be compelled to wait.
Deputy Garrett states, by way Of
correction of the TIMES item about
the safe, that it was open when Mr..
Fox left, or that, at most, only the day
combination was on. This does not
alter the fact that Mr.. Fox went away
without giving the combination. And
that is what is complained of.

THE ROAD TAX FOR 1884.
A Complaint Sworn to, to Test the Lee.
gality Of Mr.. Banfleld's Collection.

This morning S. J. Friedman swore
out complaint against John M. Ban
field, charging him with obtaining
money under false pretenses, in col
Letting the road tax for 1884. The
District Attorney said that he would
examine the law bearing upon the
subject, to see if there was any prob
ability of convicting Mr.. Banfeld,
and if there was he would have him
arrested.
Mr.. Friedman says that he does not
care for the $8 paid by himself and
brother; but he is determined to test
the right OF Mr.. Banfeld to collect:
In the TIMES office, last evening,
Mr.. Banfeld said that he had only
collected 81 for 1884, altogether, to-
wit: 50 from Emil and S. J. Fried
man; 50 from the Murphy Brothers:
aud IS from Messrs. May and krieg
Mr.. Banfeld says that he only col
lected $24 on account of road tax fol-
1884, and that he proposes to keep it.
If any of those who paid want their
money back, he will make test case
of it. He says that as soon as he car
get back the 1854 that he is out, he
will not want anything more to dc
with the roads and bridges.

1t is higher up in the heavens than
