Emory storrs on Millionaires.

One day group of millionaires, who
were sitting on the piazza at the United
States Hotel, began to chaff Storrs in a
solemn fashion. He had just confessed to
them that he was not worth any money,
and that he had spent everything that he
made as fast as he had got it. Suddenly
he turned on one of his would-be torment
ors and began: "You rich fellows appear
to think that money-making is an intel
lectual process, and that the wealth ac-
quired by you proves that you are very
superior kind of men. You are very
much mistaken. There is nothing intel
lectual about acquisitiveness. 1t is merely
an animal trait 1t is less highly de-
veloped in you, gentlemen, than it is in
the chipmunk. The beaver is very much
your superior in this regard.
"Where are the rich men now in his
tory? There are two only who live in the
legends of literature-Dives, who sur
wives on account of his fortunate connec-
ton with pauper, and Cresus. because
his name has been used by poets merely
as a synonym. Gentlemen, where are
the stockholders who built the Parthenon?
Doubtless, in their day, they sat around
in Athens and spoke of the fine work that
Phidias was doing for them. But, gentle
men, where are the stockholders to-day,
and where is Phidias? ?'' He went on in
this quaint way for fully half an hour,
and when he had finished, even the mil
lionaires did not seem to think that they
had the best of it.-Washington Cor
NeW York Wortd.
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-11-04
CoERCING VOTERS.

Aspecial to the Tribune says that all the
lock tenders, bank watchers and other en-
ployes of the State canals of New York
were compelled to pay SIS each to the Dem
ocratic campaign fund, and that when the
men were paid their wages that amount
was demanded. and if not complied with,
the men were discharged. We very
much doubt this, especially when we re-
member that yesterday was election day
in New York and the result was in favor
of the Democrats and against the Repub-
licans.
On the supposition that such was the
case, we should say that such action was
but an intimidation and coercion of
voters. The man who is from any cir
cumstance compelled to vote ticket he
does not like, will naturally be an
enemy to the party so compelling
him, and if the party shall be re-
turned to power, he will feel that it is
there unjustly; and he will be right in his
feeling. Coercing voters by one method
is as bad as coercing by another method,
and in hard times, with winter fast ap-
preaching, to threaten to deprive a man
of the means OF livelihood is as wicked as
to threaten a mans life if he does not vote
a certain way. Ii we remember rightly,
the Civil Service Act of New York
makes it a crime to solicit campaign
funds from public employees, and this
coercion of the State canal men was So
licitatlon of the most persuasive kind.
1t should be remembered that this
charge of coercion comes from Repub-
lcan sources, and that that party would
only be too well pleased to be able to
fasten some such crime upon the Demo-
Gratis of New York, as they are very sore
over their defeat of last year and yester-
day. Ii this report should prove to be
untrue, those who started it are as vile as
hose who would coerce voter.

Civilization.

It's curious thing, this thing we call
civilization. We think it an affair of
epochs and nations. It's really an affair
OF individuals. One brother will be civ
ilized and the other barbarian. I've
occasionally met young girls who were
so brutally, insolently, woefully indiffer-
ent to the arts which make civilization
that they ought to have been clothed in
the skins of wild beasts and gone about
barefoot with clubs over their shoulders.
Yet they were of polite origin, and their
parents at least respectful of the things
that these young animals despised-W.
