The farmers sons, not satisfied
with his fathers simple and labori-
Gus life, joins the eager chase for
easily acquired wealth. We discover
that the fortunes realized by our
manufacturers are no longer solely
the reward of honest industry and
enlightened foresight, but that they
result from the discriminating favor
of the government, and are largely
built upon undue exactions from the
masses Of our people. The gulf be-
tween employers and the employ ed
is constantly widening, and classes
are rapidly forming, one comprising
the very rich and powerful, while IN
another are found

A correspondent writing from Santa Barbara, to Kalamazoo, Mich, paper says: "About the strangest thing find in this most wonderful land IS the tendency to exaggerate-and this IS very mild form-when describing the resources of the country. Notwlth' standing the wonderful natural richness of the favored portion of the state, and that the simple truth would be all sufti- cient, but very few seem content to confine themselves within telescopic range of the truth. Ithink this tendency to over color everything acts as very serious obstacle to the progress of the state. Three-fourths of the cities of southern California have an existence only on paper, simply myths, and 1t IS terribly exasperartilng for people coming from the east, in response to the extavagantly colored advestising circulars of some oi the real estate land boomers, to find when getting here, that the cities adver- tised have no existence whatever. Such people turn about in disgust and return home, cursing the country, when if only the simple truth had been told the m, they would have heen more than satis- fled and would have remaind to help to further develop the country. It IS not at all difficult to overdo the best oi things"

The New York Worlds coreSpon- dent telegraphs two column interview with Blaine from Florence in which the latter states that under no circumstances whatever, would he allow his name to be used in connection with the mex, presidential nomination. He insists on the sincerity of his withdrawal, and as serts he has made up his mind thereto. He considesr first that any man whose name has been associated with defeat in presidential campaign owes 1t to his party not to allow himself to be re- nominated; and second, he is unequal to facing the fatigue, worry and excite ment of another canvass, and more as he would feel himself bound to work as hard as on previous occasions. Mrs. Blaine and other members Of his family are most emphatic in their approval of his withdrawal, which is definite, and neither nasty or recent in its decission. Blaine will not return from Europe until June and not until after the re- publican convention. Mir. Blaine pre- diets a grand success for the republican party next election.

PRESSED BRICK.

From the Atcbinsun (Kansas) Daily Champion, of February 25d, owned by Governor Martin, ot Ksnsas. We clip ihc following, relatiyr u an enterprise, oi- ganized by a brother Q; the edi,or ol tbis paper. a pracuclng- attorney, of that city:
 "The Atchison Pressed Brick com pany organized last tail by Mr 4. r. Martin and others yesterday opened their first and experimental kiln ot I2c,- 900 brick, of which mention has -etn made, heretofore, in The Champion. It was found that the brick had fired and cooled of nicely, and that tnsy are as good as any eget mace n the United States. This affords practical demon stration of the fact tha! the A-cnison clay cannot De excelled anywhere, and hereafter, instead of importing pressed brick, Atchison will supply lhe builders here and in al. the neighborlng cities with superior article, and at prices far below those heretofore exIctud by mo nopolies who controlled the trade. The Atchison pressed brick will stand the severests tests, and experts aud builders who have examined them state that they are as fine as ever were made.
 The company will proceed at tonce to en- large the capacity of the works. and VII turn out several millions of pressed brick this season"
 In an editorial parasraph referring to the same enterprise, the paper says; ,, Atchison this year will turn out mit

Grover is beginning to hedge on hls

Grover is beginning to hedge on hIs free trade speech. The Cincinnati En- Quirer has interviewed some mysterious, mythical man, who "for good reasons does not allow the publication of his name, who says that President Cleveland has taken steps to relieve congress and the democratic party of any disadvantages that may have been imposed upon them by his message in the settlement of the taxation question. The president is rep resented to have said to distinguished visitor, in substance, that his message was an abstract proposition, and that while he still believed in the doctrines set forth in that document, he did not intend, and had not intended at any time, that it should map out positively and m detail the kind of bill he would be willing to sign.

ACarthage, Tex, telegram says: "Four hundred men forced open the jail and took out Tom Forsyth, who recently con- tossed that he had murdered County Treasurer Hill by cutting off his head, and that he had robbed him of $6.ooo. He was taken to tree in the jail yard, and rope placed around his neck. A ladder was put up and Forsyth as cended, requesting as he did so. that he be allowed to execute himself. The word of command was given by the leaders of the lynchers, and Forsyth jumped from limb on which he stood. His neck was broken and death oc- cured lnstantaneonsly. The lynchers took the body into the court house and laid it on the bloody shirt of the mur- dered man in the treasurer's office"
