1t will be well for those supplied
with plenty, to remember the many
poor families we have in our midst
It is not the professional beggar that
is always the most deserving object
of charity. We have around as q

As matter of fact, there are num-
Der of deserving cases in our midst

Miss Bessie Grey, the charming
prima donna, supported by thirty five
artists, will appear here tonight at
the Masonic Opera House. in Gilbert
and Sullivan's great japanese Opera,
"The Mikauov This is one of the
finest companies that has ever ap-
peared before an Annapolis audience,
and will undoubtedly be greeted with
a crowded house. The Washington
Critic, where Miss Grey and her
company have been performing, says:
"The production OF the "Mikadon at
Herzog's Opera House was grand
success. The immense crowd that
attested both the popularity of the
opera and the excellence of the COM
papy. Miss Bessie Grey, who takes
the part of Yum Yum, is petite in
figure, but very graceful and full of
life, and is capitally adapted for the
part. Everything went smoothly
and the opera was well received
The setting of the stage was even
handsomer than before, and the
"Mikado" will no doubt be strong
attraction during this last week Of

road companies are annually robbing their passengers and patrons of mill lions, and reducing them to beggery; and still the people submit to it quiet ly and complacently.
 Could anything prove more conclu- sively than this, the vast power of those gigantic corporations. They control nominations and elections, and if there is any symptoms of re- volt against their power in legislatures, their well-paid lobbyists crowd the corridors of our Capitols with brlbes in their hands. If the people would absolve themselves from their foolish subserviency to party, they could soon bring those railroad bandits to equit- able terms for the highest judicial authorities in State and Nation have decided that rates of transportation and profits of corporate bodies can be controlled by legislative authority. But while the voters prefer to serve thelr party rather than their own inter ests, the Railroad magnates will cry out "the public be damned" and the people will merit as we'll as feeI the condemnation.
 If the workingman of Connecticut think that however oppressive this extortion of the Railroads may be to the Western farmer, that it does not affect himself also, let him consider, and he will soon see that he has to pay at least one third more for his flour and provisions than he would, with rates of transportation just to both distributor and consumer. But the only possible remedy lies in the people running their own railroads as they now run the Post Office.

THE once famous "Brick Pomeroy,' still in the editorial harness but with his main cropped very short, in a laundering article" in late issue of his paper against the iniquity of the bond system, showing how thieves, drunkards or libertines may, when once successful in securing a swag of money, turn it into usury sucking through U. s. bond, and live like a prince off the sweat and blood of the virtuous and industrious-fnlshes up the grand peroration by exclaiming "Why not undo great wrong and be true to the principle of unity and pros perity for all instead of favored few!' But Brick" doesn't ask the question for the sake of an answer; if he did, there would be tens of thousands of them returned all echoing the same sentiment, Because there are too many double-dyed scoundrels like yourself in the world who strive to lead the innocent astray by preaching one thing and then advising them to practice another-men who damn the bondholders, and will then "crawl up the seat of Belmont's brooches" for "boodle" This is one of the reasons, but not the only one.

TAKE THE RAILROADS.

THE report of the Railroad Com missioner of Illinois for 1882, (we have not seen later one) gave the total net earnings of the roads, in that State as amounting in round num- bers to 176 millions of dollars, and the net profits, g millions while the total capital stock, including the "water" was only sos millions. Thus it was seen that the dividends were nearly fifteen per cent, while there is no producing business in the State of either farmers or mechanics, that pays over three.
 It is not surprising that the profits of these two classes are so small when saddled with such an enormous tax of 73 millions annually to the Railroads of one state only, for the dividends of these companies are all paid, in the end, by the laboring people, farmers and mechanics.
 The average price of grain in Da- kota and Nebraska is one half less than 1t is in Chicago-the difference being the cost of transportation;th though by the best authorities it is proved that the roads could handle the dis tance of Boo miles at a profit, at $6, a ton. No wonder that the western farmers complain of no profit in their business, while one half of the value of all their produce is unjustly absorb ed by the Railroad companies. A great ado is made when a gang of thieves enter train and plunder a few hundred dollars; but these Rail-

Mrs. Murphy Can'i Support she Family
 and pay Trinity the Rent.
 W. F. L. Algeltinger, an agent for the Trinity Church corporation, dropped in on New Years eve oD John Murphy, tailor, out of employment, living in the second story front of 254 West Houston street, one of the corporations tenements, and reminded him that he was already in their debt $33, five months rent, and that the bill must not run longer. Murphy said that he was unfortunate, and was unable to work, owing to disease of the spine. Mrs. Murphy has had work, but had lost it few days previously. She bad pawned pretty nearly all of her furniture, but she said that if Mir. Aigeltinger would give her a few days grace, she would try and get the last months rent.
 She went up to the priests of St. Joseph's Church, and they were investigating her case when she became desperate yesterday, and went up to Jefferson Market and begged Justice Welde to commit her five children to an institution. By parting from her children, she said, she thought she could manage to support her husband.
 Justice Welde gave her $5 pending an investigation by the Children's Society.
 Word reached Mrs. Murphy yesterday afternoon that the rooms must be vacated this morning before o'clock.
 An ejectment suit has been begun by the rector, church wardens, and vestrymen of Trinity Corporation against John Murphy in Justice Parker's court on Dec 31. The rent is sra month.-New York Sun.

to limit wealth by taxation would never receive the least consideration. And MT. Keyser renders the thing still more diff cult by his own admission, that ssour long and varied experience leads 10 this final exclusion: You cannot disturb the present relGtions 0f property, nor the means Of ob- tdining tt, nor the nachinerg cf selfsh in- terests which impels us all to first consider No. 1.'' He would therefore leave every avenue to fraud, greed and oppression wide open, and trust to taxation for remedy! And the very men to suffer by taxation are those who make the laws!
 If. the people, through government, have the right to confiscate property through taxation, why have they not the same right to confscate it in other ways? And if the remedy must come through confis- cation of some kind, as probably it will, is it not better to resort to it at the begin ming, while nillionaires are in embryo, than a. the end, when they have the whole nation in financial and industrial bondage?
 All governments claim the right of "em- inent domain through which they take losses sion of property they deem hurtful to the popular interests, or necessary for the general welfare. Our government took from the people-mind, it belonged to the people, and not the government R1s..so''t-a<5s of millions of acres of land, and gave if to railway sharks, on this plea of usefulness. And on this same plea, and by the same right, why should not ,s-- ment take possession of every fifrhe and manufacturing establishmentt employing wage workers, and decree thatthe general welfare required the union of the wage workers and this productive capital through cooperation?
 This is the ultimate of the labor move ment-;he ultimate even of MT. Keyser- so why not begin at the beginning, and curb the greed of capital effectually through cooperation with labor? Every industrial establishment is co operative now, so far as aUork is concerned, then why should it not be cooperative in pdy also, and labor creates?
 The roundabout and inefficient schemes presented for the solution of the '1abor problem" seem result of timidity or il- logical thought. The condition of the people must be improved in every partic- ular. All concede this. The improvement must come through less hours of work, higher wages, and better social conditions it can come in no other way, and the first step lies in the cooperation of capital with the wage-worker. Every reformer should nail his flag to this issue, and battle for it in every labor assembly and trades union. The great labor movement is loaded down and confused with palliatives that are as difficult to obtain as the true remedy it. self. Strike for cooperation between cap itaI and labor. This includes all other re- forms. J. F. BRAY.

know its peace and delight.
 A correspondent, speaking of the wives of Senators, and how they enjoy them selves. says among others, that Mrs. Gen. NJ is very fond of novel reading. We should judge so from the conduct of her son, whom she must have sadly neglected for her light literature, for more than once the police have arrested him for drunken ness and indecent exposure on the streets. The son of distinguished Senator from New York, was similarly arrested, thus showing a mothers teaching and care have been neglected for the thrilling, fictitious romance of the novel.
 These fashionable danes and damsels have no work to perform, no useful occupa- tion to pursne; but like the giddy butter flies they go from one pleasure to another, until their summers are over and they drop out of memory, leaving no clew be- hind them worthy of record or remember ance.
 The wage-earners of our land, male and female should draw a wholesome lesson from this portrait; and think what world this would be, filled with the dudes of society, ihe belles of fashion, and the vain old danes who now rule our fashionable circles. The mechanic and the artisan finished the world after Jehovah laid the foundation, and steam and electricity and all that tend to make our country great glocioYs and happy were invented and made by the men and women who work.
