Special to the CARBON ADVOCATE.
Few problems are more Diff ,ult TO
understand, than how the inhabitants of
a great city are fed and sheltered. How
do they all live? Where do they get the
means to purchase food and raiment? 1t
would be an easy matter to solve the
problem if every man owned his own
house, or had a regular income; but
here are thousands of people who rise
in the morning. not knowing where
they are going TO get any breakfast at
all; who wander about the streets all
day, not knowing where they are going
TO lay their heads at night. The other
afternoon, was walking down Broad
way and / saw two extremes meeting.
1t was Mr.. Astor and a tramp. The
Astors are said to own a thousand
houses, some put it at twelve hundred I:
the poor vagabOnd who touched elbows
with the millionaire had neither a roof
shingle nor a hearthstone-yet the
tramp had his breakfast and dinner as
well as MIR. Astor-not as delicate
cookery, perhaps, but enough: and he
found place to rest his head at night
1t may have been police station, or on
a park bench, but the chances are a
hundred TO one that he slept sounder
than Mr.. Astor-for / notice these
tramps are remarkably healthy sleeepers.
Here we are, two millions and half of
people, within the radius of a few miles,
and after they are all fed the markets
are stlll overlooking with abundance,
II is wonderful. Again the question
comes back, where do they all get means

three O'Clock in the afternoon, and
hundreds OF young street-arabs, male
and female, are waiting for the last issue
?f the Telegram. They are wild, un-
kethpt, unwashed crew--but sharp as
lightning. Rude and pugnacious as
they are, they recognize the rights Of
properly and have their own rude ideas
Of justice. In the lines that lead TO the
door, are little bits Of fellows who could
not fight q tiy-yet. nobody disturbs
them, and nobody tries to get their
places. Strange as it may seem, the
girls are the hardest and rudest charac-
ters In the crowd. The man whose
business II Is to keep order, has his hands

were in the Southern States 3,047, 600
colored people, and now there are more
than 100000. Then there were in
Mississippi go, 600 negroes; NOW $50. 600.
Then there were in South Carolina 4OO,-
600; now more than 100000. Five
hundred colorcd babies are born in the
United States every day. The colored
population of the United States doubles
every twenty years; the white popula-
tion only once in thirty-hve years.
Eight years will not have passed before
the negroes will be in numerical ma
jority in some of the Southern States.
AT the present rate of increase, in 1885
there will be 9G,000,0 900 white people in
the United States and 1872, 600, 900 colored
people. The dayis not far distant when
it will be a physical impossibility to con-
tlnue the present practical disfranchise-
ment of the colored man of the Southern
States. In South Carolina he has
bought and paid for 27O, 900 acres of land
which he cultivates. In the South he
pays taxes on sol 100000 of property.

100000 cannot read nor write"

THE Harrisburg Telegraph (Republi-
CAM, pays the following tribute to Hon.
John d. Biddis, State Senator from this
district: "In the front row of seats, and
at the extreme end of it, near the fire
place, on the Democratic side of the
Chamber, sits the "'lightest weight"
physically, IN the Senate, Hon John D.
Blddis, who represents, with marked
ability, the 22nd Senatorial District,
comprising the counties of Monroe, Pike
and Carbon. Mr. Biddis was born at
Milford, Pike county, July 8, 1916, and
is, therefore, just in his prime. The
idea that good goods are done up in
small parcels" is most strikingly illus
trated in the case of the Democratic
Senator frem Pike, Light in weight and
small in stature, he is heavy as a man of
ability as well as large in the way of
brains. 1t is to be regretted that when
the Democrats do in some inexplicable
way, blunder in to getting a man like
Biddis into the responsible position of
Senator, that party regulations, or the
rotation in office idea, should deprive
the people of his services at the end of
one term, as it is most probable will be
the result in the election of successor
to Mr. b. Some Democrat from Mon
roe or Carbon county will claim that it
is the turn Of his county to have the
Senator, and Senator Biddis, with all
his capacity, personal integrity, industry
and general aptness for general legisla-
tive work, will in all probability, return
to his Milford law shop"

THE death Of Victor Hugo marks the
close of one of the most romantic careers
of this century. Born to a noble name,
he announced himself democrat and
refused all titles. He wagel relentless
war against the coayentionalisms cf his
time, alike in literature and society.
He took an active part in politics, and
his seathing satires on Napoleon the
Little" had much to do with the fall of
the second Empire. His last days were
passed in his beloved Paris, surrounded
by friends and praised above the lot of
most men of letters. His genius was of
type that the Anglo-Saxon finds it
hard to comprehend, and no one of Eng
lish blood can fully understand the Sc.
cret of the French idolatry of him. To
MS be seems erratic and visionary to a
degree. While we recognize his great
merits, they seem to ms almost over
shadowed By his glaring faults. 1t is
the same lack of sympathy that prevents
FTenchmen from understanding Shakes
peare and Milton.

The scale conference of the iron man
ufacturers and the Amalgamated Asso-
citation, which had been in daily session
since Friday last,at Pittsburg, adjourned
sine die Monday evening without having
reached settlement. The turn affairs
have taken is great surprise, as it was
thought that the proposition of the
Amalgamated Association to accept a
10 per cent. reduction would meet the
approval of the manufacturers. The
latter, however demanded other concec-
sions which the iron workers refused to
grant, and the conference broke up. A
general strike on the 1st of June now
seems inevitable. Both sides appear de-
termined to hold out. The Amalgama.-
cd Association had their scale printed
and sent to all the manufacturers in the
West on Wednesday. The officers of
the association say that number of
mill owners will accept their scale and
continue their mills in operation. This
is denied by the iron masters, who as
sert that they never were as strongly
united as at present. Secretary Martin
of the Amalgamated Association, in
speaking of the conference said: "Per-
feet harmony prevailed. but the manu-
facturers wanted too much. In the in
terest of peace the iron workers COM
mittee made concession after concession,
until finally they were compelled to re-
fuse to make any more changes" Mr..
Martin said they would stand out for
six months if it was necessary to gain
their point. If the mills close down,
nearly 10000 men will be thrown out.

education, noble itself in its proper
sphere, and that by so doing, Arkan
sas can then stand on footing
with the foremost of our sister states.
In such system colleges must ever
hold their proper ranks. Let parents
learn to appreciate e :Giiental treasure as
far superior to gold. If they have
but little to give to their children it
would be to their interest that they
put it into their heads and not into
their pockets. But even now the
cause of education has almost sunk
beyond the ken of many overridden
by the fanatical frenzy of politics,
excited by designing cliques and
demagogues. We labor, time and
money freely spent, yea every nerve
excited, to secure victory. The po
litical controversies seem to hold
pre- -eminence over eve-y other OBJ
ject. While all is strife and envy
we can hope for but little till the
tnmult closes; then, and not until
then, will the trembling sea be at
rest. ELLA NELL.
