John Bright He was the oracle of the
iaboring masses of England. whose unerring
instinct told them that the triumph Of
slaveholding aristocracy would be blow at
free labor and free government; and America
may never appreciate the advantage 1t was
to her in that dark hour that the man who
voiced this sentiment, had the singleness
and honesty Of purpose, the eloquence and
courage, the high intellectual endowments
and the good heart that have distinguished
John Bright throughout his whole career.
Mr.. Bright has been from his youth MEM
Der of the Society of Friends He began life
as cotton manufacturer, without the UNI
usual advantages Of position and education
which are often so necessary to political sue
cess in England. The story of his entrance
into public life reads like romance. 1t was
when, as young man he stood by the coffin
of his youthful and dearly-beloved wife that
Richard Golden came to him and persuaded
him to forget his own grief In ministering to
the woes Of the laboring masses of England
who he considered were oppressed by their
own laws. Mr.. Bright entered into the agi-
tatlon with Golden, and together they be-
came the most famous leaders in the agita-
ton which made England free trade coun-
try. 1t was in 1888 that this work was
begun. Since then, with the exception of a
few years, Mr.. Bright has remained in public
life. He has been distinguished on several
occasion for courageous stands against war,
even when he thereby suffered the full
weight of the opposition of English patriotic
and public opinion. In 1854 he used his in
fiuence with the Gar of Russia to avert war
with Turkey and did all in his power to pre-
vent England taking the position which re-
suited in the Crimea war. he opposed the
English war with China in 1857, and suffered
defeat for so doing. Again he opposed the
late operations of the English in Egypt, and
his final retirement from public life was oc-
casioned by his refusal to stay in Mr. Glad
stones cabinet after the bombardment of
Alexandria The only war he ever approved
was the war of the loyal North in defense of
the American Union, and he aided that fight
in every way he could. He:was consistent
friend and a consistent statesman, and
though some of his political doctrines may
not find favor with the majority of Ameri-
cans, his character will always be admired
and his name ever yenerated on this side of
the water.

John Bright.

The news of John Brights death may be
expected at any moment. Though but sew
enty-seyen years of age, no older than was
mr. Gladstone when he made his great
speech introducing the Home Rule bill in the
Commons, Mr.. Bright has for several years
lacked the bodily and the mental vigor of his
oidtlme associate and friend. There is little
douDt that for year or two John Bright has
hardly been in his right mind, and the decay
Oh MS physical powers comes at time when
little more could be expected from the
great tribune of the English people. To the
younger generation of Americans John
Bright Is little more than a name Yet he
should be admired by them more than any
other living Englishman. During the dark
est hours of our Civil War, when Lord Rob-
ert Cecil, now the Marquis of Salisbury. and
the whole Tory aristocratic party of Great
britain, were the sworn friends OF Jefferson
Davis's government, when the Liberal Gov
eminent Of Lord Palmerston was almost
aggressiyely friendly to the Southern Con-
Iederacy, when even Mr. Gladstone, the
chancellor OF the Exchequer of that govern
ment, publicly declared his belief that the
American Union was shattered forever, one
man who was the friend of the Union gov
eminent in and out of Parliament, before his
constituency among the cotton weayers of
Manchester and wherever else his eIoouent
and persuasive voice voice was raised, was

The Railway Mail Service.

shC N0uWdy Ndu S6TttC6s
Probably the most thoroughly demoralized
OF the branches of the public service by Mr..
Cleyeland's administration has been the rail-
way mail service. This has not resulted
from the fact that the sweep has been clean
er in that service than in any other, but be-
cause its duties are more difficult to per-
form and require higher degree of in
telllgence, skill and training than any
other. While man of ordinary capacity
might learn the duties of customs inspect
or In few days SO he could perform them
fairly well; while he might learn in an
equally brief period to distribute the mail of
small country post Office; months of pa
tent study and practice are required to en-
able the railway mail employe, even if he
be very apt to learn, to so distribute and
arrange letters committed to his hands that
they Will reach their destinations in the
briefest possible space of time. The rail-
way mail service was built by slow de-
grees, and when the Democracy took possess
sion OF 1t they found machine marvellous
Tor Its accuracy and swiftness 1t was obyi-
GUS enough that any disarrangement of this
machine would produce a very bad effect
upon the business of the country, and would
be felt more generally th an disarmament
OF any other branch of the public service.
President Cleveland early in his term ap-
pears to have recognized the danger of
clean sweep in this service, and for a
time to have made something like a Wig
orous resistance against it. At any rate
removals from this branch began later, and
went on for some time less rapidly then re-
movals from any other. There came time.
however, when the pressure of the hungry
and thirty became altogether too strong. and
whatever resistance the President had Oh.
posed gave way entirely, and positions in
the railway mail service began to be treated
like the fourth class post offices, as the legiti
mate spoils of victory. The natural and in
evitable result followed. The service be-
came thoroughly emcralized, and still con-
tlnues in that condition. 1t is now an
nounced that Mr.. Cleveland has decided to
extend the civil service law to this branch
oil the service. He has been at liberty to do
SO ever since he has been President. but he
has waited until it has been packed with
Democrats, and with very poor Democrats
at that, before throwing around it the safe
guard of the civil service law. Had he
done this three years ago, or even two
years ago, he would have saved it from de-
moralization. The only effect of applying
the law now can be to render it more diff |
cult to rescue it from its present unfortunate
condition.

ONE PRICE CLOTHING HOUSE.

This Fall my business had increased
SO much, that / decided to make . des-
perate effort to run my sales up to
500, 100000. To do this purchased
for spot cash $4,000 worth Of clothing
and furnishing goods, the sale Of which
added to my regular run OF business,
would bring about the coveted result.
But Providence doesn't always dis.
pose as man man proposes, and the pro-
longed season Of rainy weather has
destroyed all calculation and left me
barely holding my own regular trade,
while the $4,000 stock is comparative
ly untouched. The wet weather has eff
fectually spoiled anything likea boom,
and but one c0urse remains open, viz:
to sell the goods for what they will
bring. and stop the depreciatis on
the goods which Is inevitable from
carrying over from season to season.
The goods will be sold for what they
will bring, and that means rapid
closing out, for at prices offered no one
can afford to.spend dollar elsewhere

A bill introduced in the Senate the other day
by Senator Reagan has not received the atten-
tion 1t deserves. In substance it authorizes
holders Of silver bullion to desposit it In the
minis on the same terms that gold is received
Under the present law the holders Of silver
bullion can get from the government only the
market prices and the profits of the coinage
go into the national treasury, but under
Reagan's bill the profits will go into the
pockets of the silver mine proprietors. 1t is
certainly bad enough to force dollars worth
only So cents on the public when the twenty
or twenty-five per cent. profit goes into the
treasury, but to pay bullion owners from
twenty to twenty-five per cent. more than the
market value of their bullion is an outrage.
But this is apparently what the Reagan bill
proposes to do. The scheme is SO barefaced
that it would seem impossible that it
could get through, but Congress in the past
has been very liberal to silver mine proprie-
tors and it is among the probabilities thar
this bill may become a law unless public
opinion makes itself felt There is no more
reason who the government should furnish
market for all the silver mined in this coun-
try, above its needs, than that it should pur
chase all the iron and coal dug out of the
earth. But this bill not only proposes to pur-
chase all the silver bullion that may be
bought by the minis, but to give quarter
more than it is worth.
