What it Costs to be Civilized.

Southern Lumberman.
Civilization is great thing. The
population of the world is placed, in
round figures, at 1900 millions. Of
these $50 millions are not yet suffi-
GENTLY civilized to pay taxes for the
support of an organized government.
The $50 millions who are, have al
ready gone in debt, for national pur-
poses, $4,000 millions of dollars, and
owe other bonded obligations which
makes their bonded debts about
$4,000 millions of dollars, not to speak
of their little private and corporate
debts, which would increase these
figures to such an enormous extent
that no sane man would attempt to
comprehend them. OF the 44O mil
lions of people who owe this enor-
nous debt, not more than one-fourth
are producers, and this fourth must
not only support the other three
fourths, but provide for the payment
of an annual interest of about four per
cent upon thesentire bonded debt, a
neat little sum of three thousand
millions of dollars a year. With
these ponderous facts before us, and
ever so many more that are being
furnished every day pending the dis
cussion of the silver coinage question
in America, we do not feel much
alarmed over the fact that our gov
eminent, which includes over fifty
millions Of people, 1exclusive of the
Indians, who have not yet learned to
pay taxes, is coming two!millions of
silver dollars per month. 1t looks
like we are paying pretty high for
our "boasted civilization" and two
millions month looks like a very
small sum compared to the debts.

SOME of the Republican papers are
very much exercised over Senator Voor-
heels frank declaration that he would
not think Of exchanging his seat in the
senate for the vice-presidency, where he
"would be of no service to friend,
whether he applied for the position of
night Waterman or minister abroad"
This comes with bad grace from the or
gans Of party which has distinguished
itself by peddling out Offices, and whose
favorites admitted to be "smirched,"
have made themselves not only notorious
in the distribution of gifts, but of "put-
ting money where 1t viii do the most

THE vexed question, " What is a boy

of two years in Pennsylvania restored his
grandmother's eye-slght. She had been
totally blind from cataracts for nine
years, when, unmindful OF the dangers of
a small boy, she fell asleep; he, left to
the device of his own heart, experimental
with o shingle upon her closed eyes. The
treatment might be termed heroic, but
the force of the blow burst the cataracts,
and she now sees clearly. Now for the

boy and the shingle, in THIS way instan-
taneous relief may be afforded from
many OF the diseases which atillct the hui
man race. In this new practice persons
are cautioned against having the small
boy without the shingle, the latter being
absolutely essential in sickness or in
health, for the comfort of the family, and
this direction neglected we do not hold
ourselves responsible for the conse
quences.

THE LABOR CAUSE IN POLITICS

1t looks as though thereis determined
effort to get Henry George and Master
Workman Powderly into politics. In
New York city the laboriDg element
wants George to become a candidate for
mayor, and in the Pennsylvania Twelfth
district the Democratic nominee for con-
gress has declined in favor of Mr.. Pow
DERBY, II the latter will accept. 1t is ex-
pected that in congress Powderly will
prove himself the Parnell OF the labor
cause in this country. II is very probable
Mr.. Powderly would make respectable
member of congress, for he is an intelli-
gent, well-balanced man, who would be
careful to keep his mouth shut except
when he had something to say. But he
cannot be the Parnell Of labor, because
there is no similarity in the conditions of
Ireland and that Of labor in this country.
Ireland, under English domination, is
ruled with rod OF iron and has just
grievances. Labor in the United States
is not only free and untrammeled, but
strong, we'll organized and aggressive. If
1t has any antagonist (Which is to be
doubted, the antagonist is capital.
Labor and capital, so far as the laws of
the country and public sentiment are con-
cerned, stand on an equal footing. There
is no special distinctive fight to be made
In congress on behalf of labor that could
not be made by some other representa-
tive Just as well II not better than by
Powderly. As head of the Knights of
Labor Mr.. Powderly has done a useful
work In building up great organization
to care for the interests of the wage
workers. Could he do as much for labor
in congressP There is a suspicion that
the persistent effort to get him into po-
litical life has sinister purpose. Some
men have been sent to congress only to
find themselves shelved and relegated, If
not to obscurity, at least to less ex-
tended field of usefulness and action. II
Mr.. Gould dabbles in politics now we
have an idea he would much rather see
Mr.. Powderly in congress than at the
head of the Knights Of Labor.

MOROHLNL HOHLLLLNG.

The sequel to the elopement of Victor
ia Morosini, the glddy daughter of the
rich New York Italian banker with her
father's coachman, will be likely to cause
q paucity Of such misalliances for peri
cd. 1t turns out to be another illustra-
ton of the truth OF an old poem, which
gives this advice after detailing the dire
consequences of the marriage of a mouse
and q lion:
"Let ye who are of equal rank
Unite with one another,
And then you will not run the risk,
OF trampllng on each other"
1t appears that the coachman, Schil-
ling, IS decent fellow enough and
makes very good driver on one of the
New York horse-cars, but such an occu-
patton is not the kind for the husband Of
a young lady who has been reared in
luxury,-of a romantic young lady who
would elope with coachman. At first
the couple got along well enough. No
doubt she loved Schilling as much as she
could love anybody. He went to work
and tried to support her, and did so after
a fashion, but what would satisfy a girl
who has been reared in humble circum-
stances is miserable existence indeed
for one reared in affluence. BY and by
Victoria went on the stage, and this made
matters worse. She possesses but the
single requirement Of trim figure and a
pretty face, and after the novelty her
notoriety had given was worn off she fell
into the subordinate position for which
she was best fitted. Meantime her hus.
band had gone to driving horse-car
Finally it was learned that young mar
always occupied seat in the Casino
where Mrs .Schilling sang. The young can
tatrice, IL such she can be called, excused
his constant presence to the members O
the company by saying that he wa,
her brother. But this was not true. Tn,
next thing that occurs she disappears, anC
so does the young man. 1t has been re

sailor, then a csndlemaker, then body
guard to Jay Gould, and now is banke
refuses to say whether he does or doe
not know his daughters whereabouts
but allows her to rest under the suspicion
of having eloped from her husband TIL
moral of the matter Is as plain as noon
day, as we have stated. Victoria had ia
better have conferred her affections upol
some New York dude, and SchillinI
should have welded buxom shop girl.
