such as no civilized people have ever
tolerated. He regards all this talk a.
bout trusts being in the hands of good
people, wisely managed, etc., as a de-
lusion and a snare. The public can
see that the managers of monopolies
are enriching themselves at the expense
Of the people. The existence of these
monopolies awakens apprehension. Po-
litical philosophers and economists are
discussing them with solicitude. Leg
islators are contriying how to restrict
them. There is widespread anxiety
and indignation on account of their ex-
istence. Say what we will there is a
great deal of truth in the remark of
Chauncey Depew .'The working man
has grievance. he says. He knows
what it is. He knows there is some-
thing wrong in the system by which a
few men grow immensely wealthy by
practicing a system of mild extortion
of which they are the victims. Out OF
all this there is growing another social
i'll, and that is an increasing feud be-
tween the rich aud the poor. There is
bitterness and jealousy and alienation
OF feeling which augur no good in the
future. The worst thing that can hap
pen to us is the destruction of sympa-
thy between the different classes in so
ciety 1t is said of labor troubles that
they are largely sentimental, but the
feeling that grows up between the rich
and the poor is deep-seated. Another
social evil is an increase of what may
be called the parasitic class. This is
made up of paupers, gamblers and
criminals. They are what Prof. VIM.
Graham calls 'sthe social residuum.
1t is class that needs no description.
The simple fact TO which attention is
called is, that it is a growing class. 1t
is already uncomtortably large. The
term gamblers" covers wide range
of methods OF getting money without
earning it, from the Stock Exchange TO
the bunko-steerers. 1t must be admit
ted that these are increasing in num-
bers. New methods of getting the
money of the honest and industrious
without returning an equivalent, are
being sought out. But, who is to blame
for this congestion of wealth? Law, in
part. Who make the laws? Those who
suffer from these inequalities have this
matter largely under their own control.
The laboring classes constitute large
numerical majority of the voters. Why
do they not apply the remedy now il
their hands? The fact is, there are nc
wrongs they cannot correct if they had
the requisite intelligence. Bad laws,
and bad systems, and unjust taxation
exist because the people allow them tC
exist. and the people allow them to ex
list because they are not shrewd or sharI
enough to avoid being misled by dema
gogues, and corrupt politicians and al
sorts of tricksters. The remedy is ca
sy to be found-a higher degree of in
telligence among the working classes
This Is not all, industry must be organ
lied upon different basis. The sim
pie wage system should be replaced by
one in which the laborers are partici
pants in the gains of industry. Thes'
are the remedies suggested and they
are carefully discussed, making an in
teresting article.

For the Deposition OF Property.

Act No It's OF the late legislature goes
into effect October /, and makes some radi-
cal changes in the law for the distribution
of estates where no will is left. Under the
old law, if a man died before his wife, she
had only "A life interest in his property if
there was no issue, and on her death IL
went TO his heirs. The new law on the
point lie ads as follows:
"lf the intestate shall leave hus band or
widow aud no issue, one-half or the estate
of such intestate shall descend TO such hus-
band or wife, and the remainder 10 the
father and mother of the iutestate in equal
shares; or if there be but one of the parents
irving, then TO the survivor alone; and If
the iGtestate shall lie we no issue, husband
or widow, his or her estate shall descend
to the father and mother in equal shares,
and If there be hut one of tie parents living,
then to the survivor alone; and then if the
intestate shall leave no issue, father or
mother, his or herestate shall descend sub
ject to the provisions herein made for the
widow or husband, If a widow or nus
band survive the deceased. in equal shares
TO his or her brothers and sisters and chill
dren of deceased brothers and sisters by
right of representation. The provisions
herein made shall be in lieu of DOVER"
Another change is that II the intestate
shall leave husband or wife and no issue,
or other lineal descendants, nor father,
mother, brother or sister, the estate shall
descend 10 such husband or wife. This
shuts out distant relatives and allows the
husband 10 inherit the wife S individual
property In case person dies leaving no
kindred the estate goes TO the state for the
benefit of the primary school fund
